Neolinn

Neolinn (Ukrainian: Неоліннія, Russian: Неолинния) is a country in the Zendari world, characterised as a Slavic nation-state. It is governed as a federal republic, with ten constituent states. With an estimated population of almost 260 million, it is one of the largest countries in the world.

Etymology
The country's English-language name is a portmanteau using the prefix "Neo-" (meaning New) and suffix "-linn" (Land). Natives refer to the country as "Neolynya" which is Cryllicisation of the internationally-recognised "Neolinn".

States of Neolinn
There are ten federal states within Neolinn, each containing their own state governments and devolved powers.

History
Neolinn was officially formed on 29 December 2018, with the aim to provide a homeland for the Slavic peoples, who are sprawled across the world with little recognition. The country's official constitution declares it a "Nation-State of the Slavic people", giving ethnic Slavs across Zendari the right to migrate to Neolinn with automatic citizenship.

Being a nation new to statehood, the majority of contemporary history is around the migration of Slavic people across Zendari to Neolinn.

Politics
The country intends to hold democratic elections in 2019, where a currently-undecided number of representatives will be elected to the People's Jury of Neolinn, the unicameral legislature of the nation. One of the government's first jobs will be to decide the capital of Neolinn, which is yet to be decided for cultural and economic reasons.
