Polasciana 
(Sarian: зямлізмены), officially the United Federal Republic of Polasciana, is a Federal Republic, in The Meridian, which constitutes the former disputed territories of the Polamar. Bordered by Eiffelland 
to the west, Wieserreich 
, the Centrální Republika 
and Uainia 
to the north and Shcerbatskaya 
to the east, the country has a population estimated at over 53 million people.
A federation of nine provincial states, three city states and four island territories[1], Polasciana was founded in its own right in 2003 after the formal unification of the former Eastern People's Republic of The Polamar 
and the Democratic Republic of Saracia 
which had been at a state of war for several decades. The country's capital, Karasicena, is a semi-autonomous city-state set within the Provincial State of Kamchetka, whilst its largest city, Arvi, lays in the Provincial State of Amar. Polesian society, culture, politics and history, is also heavily influenced by the country's Sar majority and Gal, Valle and Il'm minorities.
The country is governed by a directly elected President and an elected Central Federal Government headed by the Prime Minister. The current President of Polasciana is former Federal Council Leader Ivan Tattar, a Unionist, who holds a majority in the upper-house. Tattar replaced Gennadiy Artamova in 2020, who was the country's longest serving politician and the first Head of State to be reelected following an historic victory during the 2015 Presidential Election, defeating former Prime Minister Marina Yanaka. The current legislative session began in 2018 and is led by Prime Minister Krill Serbin, leader of the Coalition - who commands a majority in the lower-house of the Federal Executive, as the ninth Federal Ministry. The country's Armed Forces are led by a Commander General who is accountable to both houses of the Federal Executive.
Following its establishment, Polasciana embraced rapid economic reform, leading to the population becoming more secular and socially progressive under the leadership of Koruin Gruaman of the Center Party, who served as the country's first President. The country also took steps towards offering its citizens universal healthcare and expanding its developing comprehensive school system. Between 2007-2008 the Unionist-led Ministry also invested heavily in national infrastructure.
Since unification, Polasciana experienced a significant rise in the standard of living and its economy has continually expanded but a reliance on fiscal borrowing resulted in a dramatic rise and reliance on national debt - a significant factor in the country's economic destabilisation triggered by the 2007 Gallian Slowdown - an economic and political crisis caused by the onset of violence in Slaarland 
and the 2008 Economic Crash, prompted by the collapse of the Unified Capital States 
in Paripana. Preceding the crises, Polasciana had seen stable growth led by manufacturing, agriculture and a rise in trade - particularly fishing and an emerging industry in the export of oil and gas from the country's Long Sea fields. It was not until January 2015 that the economy returned to growth above 0.5%, and the country is still not expected to reach its pre-crash levels of between 3 to 5% annual growth until at least 2026. Despite increasing economic deregulation since 2003, most large enterprises in industry and utilities also remain under public control and are managed by local state administrations and other national government controlled organisations and bodies.
Name
The root of the name Polasciana originates from the merging of the names of the two rivers which run through the country - the rivers Polasana and Sariana. The etymological foundations for each of these rivers derives from the native Sarian 'kірунак' or 'polas' meaning mountain, from which the uses of the term 'Polamar' meaning 'peoples of the mountain' also derives, and 'акіян' or 'ci', meaning ocean or sea and 'ать' or 'ana' meaning river. Collectively, the name is given as meaning 'from the mountains (Polas) to the ocean (ci) by the rivers (ana)'. The decision to name the country 'Polasciana' was taken in 1996, coming from this interpretation - and was selected above other proposed names including 'Polamar', 'Polesia', 'Galeconia' (a merging of the Gallian and Greconian continents) and others with a historical background such as 'Magilla' and 'Niveria'. Prior to its formal adoption during unification, precedent for the use of the name 'Polasciana', in referring to the lands occupied by the former Eastern People's Republic of Polamar and the Democratic Republic of Saracia , can also be seen throughout historical documents. Certain records however also suggest it may have been used interchangeably with the term 'The Polamar', which itself was used more routinely to refer to the region, and peoples, where Meridian Gallia meets Greconia and the wider territory of modern-day Polasciana , Shcerbatskaya and the Centrální Republika .
