Ordrey

Ordrey (Ordrish: Ordra), officially styled the Union State of Ordrey (Ordish: Conathú Amthóth Brói Ordrais) is a in Eastern Alutra. It is bordered to the north by Gladomyr, to the south by Lathadu, and shares a maritime border with Salia across the Sedic Sea. The capital is Vernon, while its largest city and center of commercial activity is Noters. [Sentence on territory size and rank on the continent]. It is composed of 25 provinces and 3 union districts, each of which have a substantial degree of political, administrative, and economic autonomy, though the nation itself practices a form of decentralized internally, which encourages significant inter-provincial coordination.

While occupied as early as the neolithic era, modern Ordrish populations are descendants of the Continental Sedes, which migrated to the region in the 6th Century BCE, following the decline of the Old Gundahar Culture and the northwards retreat of the Old Elyrians. It is believed that the Ordrish Sedes created the earliest forms of Canachism. This collection of tribes would gradually join into the Sedic Confederation c. 244 BCE during its earliest phases of expansion. After the disintegration of the Sedic Confederation in 85 CE, the areas of modern-day Ordrey and Lathadu as well as portions of southern Gladomyr came under control of Ordrish-speaking Sedes. As the tribes coalesced into more centralized feudal polities in the middle ages, a semi-unified kingdom was established from the Four Duchies, though it would be subsumed into the Kingdom of Salia through the Concordat of Noters in 1238, which formally established Ayekism as the Ordrish religion, and uniting the crowns, with Ordrey given a degree of autonomy. After a brief campaign of resistance to integration by Canachite hard-liners, many Ordrish nobles and clergy fled south to Lathadu, where they maintained their customs until [year of Lathadun conquest]. Despite Canachism’s forbiddance in much of Ordrey, it remained practiced in secret and in remote areas throughout the remainder of the Salian occupation.

After [Salian Absolutist]’s revocation of the Concordat of Noters in 1622 in response to the Pretender’s Revolt, Salia attempted to consolidate further control in Ordrey, and to enforce Ayekist orthodoxy following a resurgence of Canachism on the continent. The Ordrish Wars of Religion that followed would ravage the country and destabilize the nascent Salian Empire. While it resulted in a Salish victory, the times which followed were marked by considerable social unrest, as well as a greater interest in Ordrish culture and history, in a time known as the Century of Enmity. Salia’s empire on mainland Alutra would come to an end in 1750 in the War of the Ordrish Succession, in which Dams i’Garmers, a member of the Ordrish aristocracy with substantial backing from other major powers on the continent successfully restored an independent Ordrish nation.

Ordrey became the first nation to, with the first mass production textile mill sparking the in 1798. It came to establish its own brief colonial empire to advance its commercial aims and prestige over the course of the 19th Century, and would establish itself as one of the key diplomatic players in the Eastern Hemisphere. The kingdom would be dismantled and replaced with a republic following a referendum in 1901. It would again be reformed into a second republic in the wake of continual struggles with the pre-republic aristocracy which culminated in a constitutional crisis in 1929. The second republic too would implode following a prolonged recession and ineffective governance, being overthrown by a one-party state in 1978. The Ordrish Workers’ Party relinquished its monopoly in government in 2000, though it remains the predominant political force in the nation and enjoys continued support in the nation’s.

The Union State of Ordrey is a member of the Northeast Compact, Alutran Commercial Community, the International Union for Labor and Liberty, and the World Forum. While one of the few in the world, it is a primary exporter of coal, steel, fish, and textiles, and has begun to exhibit a strong information technology sector, and seeks a policy of peaceful co-existence with capitalist nations. It is primarily an industrial economy, though it is slowly becoming reliant on services. Ordrey is considered a, and has a very high ; however, its GDP is the lowest in East Alutra, and it faces the beginnings of a possible demographic crisis as their population has experienced the first period of net decline in its history over the past decade according to the 2019 Census.

Etymology
Ordrey takes its name from the Proto-Ordrish word “eorþreced” (literally: earth-house, cave), in reference to the topography that defines much of the nation, as well as its multitude of mines. [Sentence on earliest known usage of the name].

As denoted by the modern constitution, the official name for Ordrey is Conathú Amthóth Brói Ordrais.

Government and Politics

 * Main article: Politics of Ordrey

Ordrey is one of the few nations in the world, with the Noyonist ideology enshrined in the Constitution of 1999, describing the nation's government as "guided by the ideals of Acoul Noyon, and the social, political, and economic theories of [Founders of Syndicalism and Socialism]". While the 1978 Constitution, which it replaced, described the Workers' Party of Ordrey (: Amdhésan Cerdhíathé Ordráis) as the "principal steward of society and the state", the end of one-party rule removed any explicit references to any one political party or group as a permanent fixture of the government. Instead, the modern Union State of Ordrey is considered a  with a. Despite the opening of the political landscape to other parties, Ordrey still is in many ways a nation, with the Workers' Party continuing to wield significant influence in Onawean political culture and policy, owing to continued widespread public support.

The First Commissar is the, and leader of the All-Union Council of Commissars. The legislature is a body, known as the All-Union Assembly, and led by the First Representative, the. In many ways, the Council of Commissars can be considered similar in function to an as seen in. The of the First Commissar is Téi Conáth, while the Assembly meets at the Peoples' Palace in Vérnon.

All-Union Council of Commissars

 * Main articles: All-Union Council of Commissars of Ordrey, First Commissar of Ordrey

The All-Union Council of Commissars of Ordrey (: Chomhairle Coimisiéiré Paputíri Ordrais) is the leadership of the of Ordrish government. The CCPO is led by the First Commissar (: Coimisiéir Cenach), a figure elected by via. Elections for the First Commissar follow a since 1999, and it is not uncommon for larger parties to field multiple candidates in the first round. As the Workers' Party of Ordrey still wields significant political influence in the nation, every First Commissar since 1978 as of 2020 has been an ACO member. The First Commissar is elected for a single, non-renewable six-year term. Their primary role in government is to serve as the for Ordrey, oversee the execution of laws passed by the Assembly, act as the nation's primary voice on Noyonist, and serve as the primary diplomat for Ordrey abroad. They alone are vested with the ability to sign treaties and other agreements with other foriegn heads of state, and are the sole of the Ordrish military.

While the First Commissar is the central figure in Ordrish foreign policy, they exercise executive power in conjunction with the rest of the CCPO. The First Commissar selects appointees for the membership of the CCPO, which act as the heads of the constitutionally-ordained government agencies that oversee matters of national governance. The First Commissar can additionally move to create new governmental agencies, but they require a simple majority in the Assembly to be approved. These non-constitutional agencies have members which sit in the CCPO, but only those with a constitutional mandate are allowed to vote on executive actions.

In cases where the Assembly fails to achieve a majority on a proposed bill, but a plurality is reached, the governing coalition has the option to pass the bill to the CCPO, where they can make a final vote to pass or decline a bill. It is rarely invoked, and usually only is done in situations of controversial legislative proposals, as the Council is generally seen as the organ which most closely maintains ideological consistency in government.

All-Union Assembly

 * Further information: Party politics of Ordrey

The All-Union Assembly of Ordrey (: Róchanwían Paputíri Ordrais) is the  of Ordrey, and the principal organ of the legislative process. It is composed of 109 members of the assembly, often abbreviated UiRs, from their Ordrish name, Uranchan(i) i'Róchanwían. It meets twice quarterly, for a total of eight meetings throughout the year. It is led by the First Representative (: Ionadaí Penach), which is generally the leader of the current governing party at the time of a new term, which has been the Workers' Party of Ordrey since the Union State's inception in 1978. Since 1999, members of the Assembly are elected from via  utilizing the. The districts are analogous to the local government units which compose each Province, with a seat allocated at 1:375,000 citizens, on top of a guaranteed seat, for a minimum of two. UiRs are elected for six-year terms, which are renewable up to five times for a total of 30 possible years in national office. The candidate pool for the Diet is composed of persons who are legislators in their home Chiefdom and have successfully completed at least one term in that level of government. Term periods of each constituency are staggered as to have 10% of the legislative body's members being engaged in an election during any given year.

Whilst not in regular session, governmental authority is vested in the 29-member Committee of Representatives (: Coise Ionadaíti Ordrais), which is composed of the senior ranking UiR from each Province, and the First Representative. Reformers have been critical of this body being unelected, and calls have been made to reform the constitution to have a take place as part of regular general elections in order to decide upon a given Province's Representative in the CIO. Aside from their formal powers as members of this body, these legislators typically have considerable informal authority from their experience and connections from during their time in office.

Administrative divisions

 * Main article: Provinces of Ordrey

The Union State of Ordrey is composed of 28 sub-national divisions, with 25 Provinces (: Tír), and 3 Union Districts (: Dúiche Conáth). Each are established as sovereign components of the nation's federal structure in the 1999 Constitution. Provinces comprise multiple settlements, while Union Districts are singular metropolitan areas. Historically and culturally, these are part of four larger historical regions: Ariclón, Bueica, Lánamói, and Céthitunac, though they do not have any actual official status in government aside for statistical and demographic studies. These regions still have considerable cultural variations, having been formed as far back as the middle ages, prior to the Salian conquests, and as such have played a major part in establishing many of the inter-provincial political, economic, and social relations within Ordrey. The modern provincial divisions are generally based on the ancestral lands of the clans which established much of the local political structures of the country through to the First Republic. Each Province is a, and are composed of units called Holds (: Delgheni) , which act as both electoral districts and centers of local government.

The 28 Provinces are as follows: Ordrey's unique decentrally-planned economy grants significant authority to the Province to establish their economic agendas. Through their section of the national economic management agency Bonwenat, each province establishes a three-year-plan for economic activity, public works projects, and natural resource management. After the first wave of major economic reforms in 1997, Provincial Bonwenat sections also were given the responsibility of oversight of the independent cooperative businesses in the service sector to "foster horizontally-driven innovation alongside protecting the foundational values of the post-capitalist way of life"

Legal system
The 1999 Ordrish Constitution is the supreme source of in the nation, and is informed by the Ordrish  tradition. Cases are presented by the legal representatives of the plaintiff and defendant, and the judge acts as an impartial referee between the two parties. Under the country's hybrid policy of and, cases are taken to be issues that affect entire communities, and as such, demand arbitration and consultation with all affected parties therein. Unlike conventional legal systems, offenses are not considered to be made against the state, but instead to the directly affected party or parties. Legal authorities are also separate from the Legislative Process and the Executive, but are given equal status in authority under the rule of law, and must be consulted for legality and constitutional integrity of government activities.

The judicial structure in Ordrey consists of the Hold Courts, which hear lesser criminal cases and smaller civil cases, the Provincial Courts, composed of divisions that serve as the courts of general jurisdiction for specific areas and for appeals; and the All-Union Court, which acts as the last resort for all appeals and ensures the validity of laws passed by government within the framework of the Constitution. Juries are selected from the immediate locale(s) of a given offense, or from neighboring areas if the population is not sufficient enough to provide for an adequate jury pool.

Law Enforcement in Ordrey is managed as a sub-agency of the Department of the Interior. The country's, the Solthóthlói Tóthanach i'Broithé (National Citizen Guard, often abbreviated ST), is responsible for managing day-to-day public law enforcement. Unlike most sub-agency offices, the Director of the ST is an appointee of the First Commissar. Regular patrol officers are not equipped with firearms, and instead are trained in hand-to-hand combat and nonviolent conflict resolution skills, though officers are generally outfitted with mace, pepper spray, batons, or tasers. Armed units of the ST are called in as a last resort, and are generally limited in scope of their offices.

The Scethíathé Ordrais (Shields of Ordrey, SO) is a section of the Ordrish military which both manages policing in military installations and government buildings. In wartime or in periods of national crisis, the SO is tasked with aiding in logistical management of military personnel and materiel domestically, managing movement around the nation, and the operation of prisoner-of-war and refugee facilities.

and a number of other practices for deterrence of crime remain highly controversial in Onaway. A moratorium on executions was put into place since 2004, though it is still available as an option in the prosecution of major violent felonies including multiple murder, chronic child, domestic, and/or spousal abuse. Beyond Capital Punishment, the practice of sterilization against sex offenders has been seen by many outside observers as a blatant attack on human rights, though it retains high public support domestically as an effective deterrent, as since its enactment alongside other policies aimed at educating males against sexual violence in 1992, sexual crimes have declined significantly.

Military

 * Main article: Workers’ Defense Force of Ordrey

The Workers' Defense Force ( Cossaintefórsa Cerdhíathé Ordrais, sometimes abbreviated "Coscero") is composed of three professional service branches: the Combined Ground Forces, Navy, and Air Force. The Ground Forces controls the nation's Military Police, while the Air Force also administers the Rocketry Corps and the Space Defense Corps, sub-branches which some have grown to consider unique armed services unto themselves. It is managed by the Department of the National Defense under authority of the Defense Council, which is chaired by the Secretary-Commissar of the National Defense. Unlike many nations, the Ordrish military swears an Oath of Allegiance to "the people, workers, and the Constitution of the Union State of Ordrey" as opposed to their, the First Commissar. It is charged with "the protection of Ordrish territorial integrity and its people, safeguarding its interests abroad, and assisting in mutual aid, relief efforts, and international peacekeeping wherever and whenever possible." Ordrey has a martial tradition which, while preceding the union with Salia after the Concordat of Noters, still bears considerable influence from their period as part of the Kingdom of Salia and Ordrey. Even following the revolution, the military continues many of the traditions of the preceding military establishment as well as those developed during the Revolution and its preceding events by the Community Welfare and Defense Councils. The Ordrish military, especially the Navy, was a key element of the nation's ability to project power and maintain its colonial sphere during the 19th and early 20th centuries. While often seen as an emergent power following the revolution, its historical place as a and martial reputation has seen it play a key role in shaping world events both in peacetime and at war. With the beginning of the Detente period in the 1990s, military doctrine shifted from active vanguardism for leftist causes to one stressing participation in coalition activities rather than unilateralism.

According to the World Forum Peace Research Office, Ordrey has the fifth-largest defense expenditures in the world, with an estimated 29.998 Billion USD (Roughly 2% of its 2019 GDP) going to defense spending.

Economy

Ordrey is one of the few modern nations with a, with the coordinating body Bonwenat as the predominant representation of the Ordrish economy abroad. It is organized, and is based on foundations of of the , localized , , extraction of , and reducing urban-rural economic divides through improving the national. While most sectors of the economy are owned by either municipal, provincial, or national governmental authorities, the and some  is organized under private,. It is a well-maintained, offering free , 48 weeks of guaranteed , and a national for all persons over the age of 70. In addition, Ordrish workers have some of the highest degrees of in the world, and negligible, with unemployment at an estimated 1.7% in 2019. Ordrey is generally considered to be a and a regional economic power.

A primary feature of the Ordrish economy is the rejection of. , however is respected and maintained. All, , , , and are held in , owned by the municipal, provincial, or national government, depending on the area or resource. Permission to utilize these resources is secured from the appropriate governing authority, with continued exclusivity only allowed to continue with continued usage of that given parcel or resource. Structures are legally considered separate from the land they occupy, and are considered to be allowed to occupy a given parcel as part of a long-term or lifetime lease, depending on the intended usage of the structure. In contrast to the rest of the economy, which stresses a degree of decentralization and local autonomy, the state holds significant control over what are considered "core industries" of the Ordrish economy, which is administered through Bonwenat. This includes the mining and processing of several minerals, including, , , , , ; first-tier processing of , energy production, , the strategic sector, and telecommunications.

Ordrey's currency, the Gond, is a, pegged to the trading value of a selection of the nation's key exports, which include coal, nitrate, and petroleum. It also tends to move along with the value of the Salian, Myrish, and Lathadun economies, although to a lesser degree thanks to its relatively insulated domestic economy. As the global economy has begun to favor other sources of energy than coal, and ecological policy becomes more important domestically, this valuation model has been called into question, with some believing that including the trading value of a select number of the country's service sector companies could help the overall economy transition to a more post-industrial stance.

In addition to the Gond, citizens of Ordrey also receive a ration book on a monthly basis known as a Córan, which gives the holder access to a allotment of staple foods and household necessities, intended to be redeemed weekly, though the values may change in order to compensate for costs of production. Citizens have the option of redeeming excess allotments for Gonds, which can be utilized as the person in question sees fit. This effective "second currency" allows for spending to be directed towards higher-value products while establishing a stable baseline standard of living.

Agriculture

 * Main article: Agriculture in Ordrey

Roughly 65% of the land area of Ordrey is devoted to agriculture, and it employs 4.8% of the nation's workforce (approx. 1,493,138 persons). Agricultural activity is generally centralized in the rural portions of the Driene River Valley (for ) and in the West Glens (for ). The land which agricultural production is done on is nominally owned in the commons by the local municipal government, but is operated by the individual tenants and workers, who hold the property in long-term leases from the government. Each farm is part of a local. This grants each farmer better negotiation power and helps offset costs of storage and marketing, and centralizes the storage and distribution of local harvests through cooperative-owned grain elevators and storehouses. As with most extractive industries, the provincial government holds a on agricultural output, meaning that they are the sole purchaser. A price floor is established with the passage of each six-year plan, but most purchases are at the global market price. A set amount of "vital products", generally grains, eggs, and dairy products, are requisitioned by the cooperative's provincial section of Bonwenat for distribution through the Coran system, which is typically at market price. Surplus agricultural output and non-vital products are sold at market price and are almost always sold domestically. The most common types of farms as of the 2015 Farm Census included ones for the grazing of livestock (primarily sheep and cattle), small grains, and dairy. Principal grains produced in Ordrey include, , and , though also composes a portion of the staple starch output. Sheep and goat are the principal livestock in the country, though many in the Glens and in southern portions of the country have moved primarily to cattle production, with dairy production having outpaced beef since 1978. A myriad of Ordrish cheese varieties are produced and exported abroad, and traditional styles of production and usage of names for certain kinds of cheese are protected by international exclusivity laws. Poultry numbers have tended to fluctuate since the 1950s, and are typically minor in comparison to other livestock sectors. The raising of for, a historically-important part of the Ordrish economy, has been in decline since the 1960s, but has remained intact since 1978 thanks to price controls, and shown signs of recovery in recent years as demand for Ordrish wool products abroad have increased. A number of fruits and vegetables are produced in Ordrey, with, , and  being among the most important horticultural products harvested.

Approximately 14% of Ordrey's land area is forested. 90% of forested lands are environmentally protected old-growth forest which is administered as part of the National Parks Service for recreational purposes, with the remainder of land in production being in the ownership of local agricultural cooperatives, generally centered in Ardaguinne, Flay and Weilan. The economic activities generated by forestry include planting and harvesting as well as sawmilling, the production of pulp and paper and the manufacture of higher value goods such as furniture.

Herb production and floriculture are a small, if lucrative section of the Ordrish agricultural output and export market. Ordrey is the world's largest producer of and, both of which are often used in the production of  and. Efforts have been made to relocate the manufacture of these products to domestic firms, but the majority of these two products are exported and refined abroad. The cultivation of has been engaged in since the 17th Century, and as such is generally seen as a symbol of Ordrish culture. While smaller than the floriculture industry of neighboring Edrury, a close relationship between Ordrish and Edruran horticultural firms can in some cases be seen to have centuries-long histories.

Energy
In 2015, Ordrey was the world's 10th-largest consumer of energy, and its 14th-largest producer. Energy is managed through the Department of Energy Infrastructure, which also manages exports of petrochemical products and the sale of renewable energy technologies through its sub-offices. In 2018, Ordrey produced 888 thousand barrels (bbl/d) of oil per day, and consumed 1,130 thousand bbl/d. Production has been in decline since 2005, and Ordrey has been a net importer of oil since 2010. A proven reserve of 5.5 billion barrels of crude oil is held by Ordrey, the largest stockpile in of any Alutran nation. Natural gas composes a smaller portion of the Ordrish economy, with most of the nation's natural gas being imported from Salia.

The production of coal played a vital role in the Ordrish economy from the late 18th Century through to the late 20th Century, and was a key element in the nation's place as the first to industrialize. In 1970, 130 million tons of coal were produced annually, though it would only recover to around 115 million following the end of the post-revolution reconstruction efforts as early efforts at the promotion of renewable resources took root. As the market for coal exports have declined worldwide in the proceeding decades, production has slowed in Ordrey over the years, with 2010 figures placing coal production at just under 25 million tons. The Ordrish Coal and Petrochemical Authority has made proposals for the conversion of coal into a cleaner form of energy through the utilization of and, and based on current coal usage, reserves have the potential to last up to 500 years. However, social and environmental concerns about potential contamination of the water table have made such propositions less attractive to economic planners. Despite this, the national government is generally supportive of these concepts to promote "clean coal", and is reticent to phase out coal production overall due to its mining holding a key place in the beginnings of the Ordrish Revolution. In 2011, Ordrey announced its intention to completely the nation's infrastructure by 2051, intending to use the nation's fossil fuels resources to fund efforts and shift largely to exports of petrochemicals rather than internal consumption. Picking up from the previously fossil fuels-centric energy infrastructure is a blend of renewable energy resources. has been an important part of the nation's power grid for over a century, especially in the Triene River Valley. A number of dams have been decommissioned since the 1990s, however, as efficiency has improved elsewhere which made these structures unjustified in their environmental impact. , with fuel and technical expertise largely imported from Velorenkya, has been expanding in recent years, with the nation expanding its fleet from 11 to 30 nuclear reactors between 1979 and 2019, with the bulk of these reactors having been constructed in the past decade. from has recieved considerable attention in recent years, and plans for a joint Ordrish-Lathadun biogas program have been established.

Transportation
The nation's three main are located in Forbes, Noters, and Vernon, and serve numerous Alutran and intercontinental routes with scheduled and chartered flights, though the country is connected by a number of regional airports, with Ordrey hosting the most airports and licensed pilots of any of the Sedic countries. The Vernon to Ushteyghoo air route is the tenth busiest international air route in the world, and the busiest in East Alutra, with 15,000 flights made between the two in 2018, with an estimated 4.8 million passengers having made the flight. Alvarre is the nation's, and its , which primarily handles regional and domestic flights, is Alvitoth. Ordrish rail is managed through Senthuisarn Ordrais, a which operates all inter-city, freight, and commercial rail services in the nation. Vernon is the center of the network, with Union Station serving as the primary transport hub for most overland transportation in the country, and Giry Station as the primary freight hub. The FOVESE service is a route which connects [GLADMOYR CAPITAL], Vernon, and Ushteyghoo. In addition to national rail infrastructure, Calla, Forbes, Noters, Onadon, and Vernon all have and  networks.

,, and are managed by the provincial government where they reside, but are overseen by the Department of Transportation nationally. and are typically managed by the Hold, but sometimes by the municipality, if large enough. The C-Series of motorways receive the highest level of auto traffic, and connect most major cities and the primary border crossings with Lathadu and Gladomyr.

Science and technology

 * Main article: Science and technology in Ordrey

Ordrey has produced a number of major inventions and scientific discoveries over the centuries, with traditions in the fields of astronomy, medicine, mechanical engineering, and ecology being among the most prevalent in its history. It was one of the leading centers of the and, with the first of the modern textile mills being established in Prenalgren in 1789, a village in the province of Calla. Many of the first pioneers in the fields of botany, geology, and conservation were key not just in their specific studies, but also encouraged decolonization and cultural pluralism by bringing attention to the disruption of local ecology and folk medicine by the arrival of Ordrish colonists and capitalists. The 19th Century produced many of the nation's greatest discoveries: including weather forecasting and the first records of anthropogenic, the development of and modern , , , and the. Key discoveries and innovations made in Ordrey during the 20th Century and on have included the, , and the. Following the 1975 Revolution, Ordrey has participated in the Velorenkyan-backed [Interkosmos], through its own domestic, the Ordrish Space Survey. It, along with Velorenkya and Lathadu, made the first international moon landing in 1981, which was followed by the establishment of Rosana Base in 1991, the first permanently-occupied human settlement on a celestial body beyond Vanatas.

Scientific research and development remains a high priority for Ordrey and its university network, with many of the nation's polytechnic universities having established in order to have the dedicated space for research and experimentation, as well as points of connection with industry. It is a member of the World Forum's Scientific Open Source, an agreement which allows for open exchange of scientific research and aims to reduce patent exclusivity in new technologies and innovations.
