The '''People's Party for Freedom''' ([[Yekaterian language|Yekaterian]]: ''Ľudová Partia za Svobodu'', abbreviated '''LPS''') is a {{W|Right-wing politics|right-wing}} [[Asteranism|Asteranist]] party in [[Yekateria]]. Formed in 2368 by {{W|Ultraconservatism|ultraconservative}} dissenting politicians from the [[Federalist Party (Yekateria)|Federalist Party]] such as founding leader [[Natalia Malenkova]] and [[Viktor Timoshenko]], the party was formed out of opposition to reforms to Malenkovism which its founding leaders had dubbed "revisionism against the founding ideals of our national ideology" and harshly condemned the Federalists' attempts to reconcile with historical enemies of Yekateria. The party serves as a major partner within the [[Our Homeland – Yekateria]] coalition, which it joined in the early 2380s after no longer being subjected to a {{W|cordon sanitaire}} by other parties during its first decade of its existence.

Malenkova, who had originally formed the Federalist Party for similar reasons, now saw proposed reforms under the Young Federalists following the [[2365 Yekaterian federal elections|2365 federal elections]] as a subversion of the party's original nationalist and anti-revisionist goals and threatened to walk out of the party. After seeing the reforms continue despite the threats, she and a group of staunchly conservative Federalists left to form the People's Party, originally named the '''Greater Yekaterian People's Party'''.

The party would gain its first seat on the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]] following the [[2384 Yekaterian political crisis]], in which its then-chairwoman [[Catarina Stanca]] became the sixth [[Federal Vice Chancellor of Yekateria|vice chancellor]] under the {{W|national unity government}} of President [[Lukas Hochburger]] and Chancellor [[Jonas Katterfeld]]. Whilst Stanca, then a perennial presidential candidate, consistently ranked third in presidential elections of the 2380s, it wasn't until the [[2395 Yekaterian federal elections]] where the party would become a major coalition member of government itself under the [[Rynsbürgen-Ernman cabinet]].

The '''Freitag–Hochburger cabinet''' ([[Yekaterian]]: ''Freitag–Hochburgerova vláda'') is the composition of the [[Federal Council of the Yekaterian Federation|Federal Council of Yekateria]] since January 2406, co-led by Federal President [[Karl Freitag]] and Federal Chancellor [[Lukas Hochburger]]. The cabinet is composed of the [[Solidarity Party of Yekateria|Solidarity Party]], the [[Social Democrats of Yekateria|Social Democrats]], and minor coalition partners [[The Greens of Yekateria|The Greens]] and the [[Liberal Forum (Yekateria)|Liberal Forum]].

The [[2405 Yekaterian federal election|2405 federal election]] saw the first ever polling showing the incumbent [[Asteran–Left Democratic Alliance]] finally achieving a {{W|majority government}} with over 1,180 seats above the majority threshold in the [[House of the Federals of Yekateria|House of the Federals]] and 2,503 seats above the majority threshold in the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]] for a total coalition seat gain in the [[Federal People's Assembly of Yekateria|Federal People's Assembly]] of 11,616 seats, counting the reallocation of Federal Senate seats to give the three Federal Cities 500 seats each. Pursuant to the previously agreed-upon rotation agreement between the [[Solidarity Party of Yekateria|Solidarists]] and the [[Social Democrats of Yekateria|Social Democrats]], then-incumbent Chancellor [[Emelie Westermarck]] did not seek a second full half-term and instead announced First Vice Chancellor [[Lukas Hochburger]] as chosen as the coalition's ''Chancellor-candidate''. Out of the total 24 cabinet positions on the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]], the Solidarists obtained a plurality of 11 – however the coalition negotiations ensured that the other members of the coalition held the remaining 13 seats, with the Social Democrats obtaining seven, and The Greens and Liberal Forum obtaining three each.

==Composition==
Pursuant to the [[Federal Cities Representative Acts of 2404]], the council-level position of [[President of the Federal Cities of Yekateria|President of the Federal Cities]] was established, serving as a joint ceremonial head of state for the three Federal Cities territories of [[Xanderholm]], [[Nataliska]], and [[Preszov]], with each individual city still retaining a mayor of their own.

{{Politics of Yekateria|expanded = Executive}}

The '''Federal Council of Yekateria''' ([[Yekaterian language|Yekaterian]]: ''Federálna Rada Yekaterskej Federácie'') is the collective {{W|Executive (government)|executive}} decision-making body of the [[Federal Government of Yekateria|Yekaterian government]]. The cabinet nominally consists of the [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|Federal Chancellor]], historically known as the Chairperson of the Council, as well as the [[Federal Vice Chancellor of Yekateria|Federal Vice Chancellors]], who act as deputy leaders of the Council, as well as the other secretaries forming the council. The Federal Presidency also counts as part of the council membership, but by precedent typically do not bring up policy proposals outside the realms of defence, security, and foreign affairs. The purpose, duties, and competencies of the Council are set out in Article I, Sections 4-5 of the [[Federal Constitution of Yekateria|Federal Constitution]].

==Nomination==
The process for forming the Council begins with the nomination of the [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|Federal Chancellor]]. Whilst the nomination was historically proposed directly by the [[Federal President of Yekateria|president]], the nomination is formally introduced "in the president's name" (''vo mene preszidenta'') within the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]]. Prior to the nomination, however, the [[Political parties of Yekateria|political parties]] will typically hold coalition talks and set out a detailed composition of the cabinet, which will then be referred to the president for approval and further nomination. However, opposing parties, and occasionally parties within the same coalition, can propose other ''Chancellor-candidates'' for the vote; despite this, however, there has been no instances of a different ''Chancellor-candidate'' not previously nominated "in the president's name" ultimately becoming Chancellor.

Unlike in a typical {{W|Parliamentary system|parliamentary system}} or even a {{W|Semi-presidential system|semi-presidential system}}, the role of nomination ultimately falls on the president, with the nomination of the Chancellor headed for the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]] and the nomination of the cabinet secretaries headed for the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]]. This, therefore, gives a wide range of {{W|Separation of powers#Checks and balances|checks and balances}} available to the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]], which has the power to individually reject candidates forming the Federal Council. In such cases, the Chancellor-designate, or the coalition parties, will instead suggest an alternative candidate for the position to the president.

==Powers==

=== Composition ===
The Federal Council is typically headed by the [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|Federal Chancellor]], in their role as {{W|Head of government|head of government}}. The chancellor facilitates the daily activities of the Council and serves as the chair and representative, however takes on the role of a co-chair in the presence of the president. The chancellor ultimately ensures the proper implementation of the council's policies, coordinates work with the secretaries, and serves as the general coordinator of the Council's work. The Chancellor may, based on precedent, be assisted by up to six [[Federal Vice Chancellor of Yekateria|vice chancellors]], who act as deputy chairs and deputy coordinators in the Council's day-to-day activities. The vice chancellors are also typically secretaries of their own respective departments; this allows the chancellor to place secretaries of importance to the government program in a greater position of authority. Whilst uncommon, the chancellor may also themselves discharge the duties of a secretary, typically holding the portfolio of a "less prestigious" department. The constitution does not explicitly enumerate the duties and responsibilities of a vice chancellor, although most of their duties and legitimacy devolve from simply being the "chancellor's deputies". However, as mentioned, chancellors typically nominate vice chancellors based on the key priorities of their cabinet and, more recently, to give coalition partners a greater say in the Council's affairs.

The rest of the council is composed of secretaries, which are organised based on acts of the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]], with their roles and responsibilities defined by the president and chancellor as part of the departments' creation process. Whilst nominally independent, these secretaries are ultimately responsible to the [[Federal President of Yekateria|president]], [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|chancellor]], and the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of the Federals]] in their day-to-day activities. Should a cabinet secretary be found in contempt of law, the House is empowered to bring impeachment upon the secretary and face trial in the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]], however in practice this rarely happens due to the president and chancellor being able to replace them through proposing a new candidate for the position.

The style of government and roles of the secretaries are not mandated by the constitution, instead being subject to the laws governing the creation and organisation of their respective departments.

=== Stature ===
The Federal Constitution entrusts the Council to craft and implement the most important regulations and policies of the Federation. Accordingly, the clause governing the Council's duty is as follows;<blockquote>'''Art. I, Section 4, Clause 1;'''

The Federal Council shall serve as the primary body for coordinating governance between the Federal President, the Federal Chancellor, and the Federal Assembly. It shall hold primacy as the principal organ from which state policies and regulations originate.
</blockquote>

Whilst the Federal Constitution also delegates powers to the governments of the constituent republics and lower subdivisions of the Federation in proposing and enacting laws and regulations, the Federal Council is the highest supreme executive body in the entirety of the Federation. As such, the council is responsible for the direct competence of managing domestic policy, directing the long-term outlook of the [[Federal Government of Yekateria|Federal Government]], and the execution of programs related to the government's work, however the realms of defense and foreign policy are typically reserved by the president as necessary.

=== Responsibilities ===
The Council ultimately derives its collective and individual responsibility to the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]], namely the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]]. Despite the importance of the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]] in approving nominations for cabinet secretaries, the Council does not rely on the Senate's the power of confidence in order to continue its term of office. Furthermore, despite the council's reliance on the confidence of the lower house, the Council's secretaries are not required to be physically present at sessions of the House. Questions from deputies instead primarily rely on the system of {{W|Interpellation (politics)|interpellation}}, from which the secretaries and/or the Council are expected to reply to within 15 days. Furthermore, they may also be invited to meetings and hearings held by the various committees of the House of Federals, from which they may receive questions from legislators directly related to the committee closest related to their department's field of work.

The secretaries of the Council may be replaced through the successful passage of a nomination for a successor, their impeachment, resignation, or death.

==Meetings==
The council typically convenes every Tuesday and Friday at the [[Federal Chancellery Building (Yekateria)|Federal Chancellery Building]] in Xanderholm, in which the members of the Council will meet to deliberate the status of laws and policies, suggest potential changes, and other matters deemed necessary. The Chancellor may also call for special meetings in the appropriate circumstances.

=== Federal Council+ ===
The president and chancellor also reserve the right to convene the entirety of the Federal Council, including full and nominal members, whenever necessary and at their discretion. In such meetings, often dubbed "Federal Council+", the entirety of the council is present. At such meetings, the president and chancellor will be able to bring up issues or sets of issues deemed necessary for discussion and deliberation for all members. As the nominal membership also includes the Administrator of the [[Federal Government Services of Yekateria|Federal Government Services]], such meetings are also necessary in order to organise government bureaucracy in anticipation of a potential new policy or issue.

'''Lukas Hochburger''' ({{Small|Yekaterian:}} [''/lʊkəs: hoxˈbʏrgʏɛr/'']; born 4 May 2344) is a [[Yekateria|Yekaterian]] [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity]] politician currently serving as the [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|Federal Chancellor of the Yekaterian Federation]] since 2406. His most recent previous position was as a [[Federal Vice Chancellor of Yekateria]] from July 2398 to 2406, having also held the same position from January 2391 to January 2396. He also serves as a Federal Deputy representing the Federal Cities in the Yekateria Hill-Xanderholm Malenkovské constituency. He previously served as the 39th [[Federal President of Yekateria|president of the Yekaterian Federation]] from 2381 to 2391, and as the First Federal Vice President of Yekateria between 2370 to 2381, concurrently as the President of [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity]] from May 2378 to May 2390, and previously as the [[Yekaterian Federal Assembly Leadership|Majority Leader]] in the Yekaterian [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]].

Born to [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]] and [[Ryan Hochhahn]], who both held high political offices in Yekateria, Lukas was destined for a career in politics from an early age. His close proximity to his parents in the halls of power shaped his reformist outlook and commitment to public service, frequently being brought along to meetings with foreign leaders, affairs of state, and public events.

Hochburger quickly made his mark in politics, following in his two fathers' footsteps. He was elected to his father, [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]]'s former seat in the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]] and gained recognition for his leadership skills. Within a year, he was elected as the [[Yekaterian Federal Assembly Leadership|Majority Leader of the House of Federals]], largely due to his reformist agenda and his work in attempting to keep the fractured party factions together prior to the [[Great Defection of 2368]].

In 2370, Hochburger was nominated and elected as the [[Federal Vice President of Yekateria]]. This position positioned him as a potential successor to his father, [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]], who was serving as the President at the time. With his increasing prominence and popularity, he was widely expected to run for the presidency in the upcoming [[2380 Yekaterian federal elections|2380 elections]], continuing the Malenkov family legacy in Yekaterian politics. His presidential candidacy was broadly supported by the left, which had united in support of Hochburger's presidential campaign.

In his tenure as Vice President, he primarily served as his father's right-hand man in the presidential office and often deputised for him in several visits and affairs of state. Furthermore, Hochburger improved relations between the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]] and the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]] by proposing the creation of the Federal Advisory Council, a formal body involving the leaders of Yekateria's executive, legislative, and judiciary branches; together with several other advisors largely consisting of former leaders such as [[Elise Malenkova]] and [[Ivan Honcharuk]].

Following his election as President, Hochburger used his reserved prerogatives in foreign policy to direct a strong shift in the direction of {{W|Realpolitik|''Realpolitik''}} ideals, choosing to put aside historical Yekaterian grievances against monarchism in pursuing further diplomatic relations with the [[United Empire]]. He has also frequently criticised the level of political polarisation in Yekaterian governance, often serving as a mediator between members of the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]] in meetings. During his presidency, Hochburger sought to closely improve coordination between the Federal Presidency and the rest of the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]] by delegating areas of responsibility to the Vice Presidents, becoming the first Yekaterian president to do so. Under the government of his chancellor [[Eleonora Ernman]], Yekateria saw its largest economic growth in decades, with a 12% increase from $5.5 sextillion in January 2381 to $6.2 sextillion in August 2381, as well as seeing increased public tensions and protests over the cost of living. In the realm of foreign politics, Hochburger brought in Yekaterian troops in an intervention led by the international community during the course of the [[Qaanaaq-Novyan War]], directing the [[Federal Armed Forces of Yekateria|Federal Armed Forces]] to neutralise rogue Qaanaaqian forces in the war. Later on, Hochburger participated in the effort to nominate [[Karl Freitag]] as Chancellor following Ernman's resignation.

== Early life and education ==
Lukas Klaas Hochburger was born in {{W|Vienna|Wien}}, [[Neilreich]], then a part of the [[Yekateria|Yekaterian Federation]], to then-president of Yekateria [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]] and rising Neilan-Yekaterian politician [[Ryan Hochhahn]], then serving as the President of Neilreich. Born out of {{W|Surrogacy|surrogacy}}, Hochburger's surrogate mother was the former partner of de Rynsburger, [[Hannah Schmidt]]. He was named after Hochhahn's middle name and was given his last name as a portmanteau of his fathers' last names.

As the son of an incumbent Yekaterian president, Hochburger's birth was widely celebrated in Yekateria, becoming the third president in a row (following his own father and his grandmother [[Andrea de Rynsburger-Malenkova]]) to be born to an incumbent president at their date of birth. At a young age, he was largely cared for by his grandparents, frequently shuttling between Neilreich and Xanderholm over the course of his early years. Hochburger also became a constant subject of interest on social media whenever spotted in public with his parents.

Hochburger's family legacy is of mixed origin – as the son of [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]], he became a member of the 14th generation of the [[Malenkov Family]], the ruling Yekaterian political dynasty since 2050. As a result of international marriages over the decades, Hochburger has ancestors hailing from {{W|British Isles|Britannica}}, the {{W|Low Countries|Laagenlands}}, {{W|Germany|Germaria}}, and {{W|Eastern Europe|Vostoevroya}}. His secondary set of grandparents, Josef and Margaret Hochhahn (née Spitzenberger), are from the Central Region of [[Neilreich]]. Hochburger's primary caretakers during his early years were Margaret Hochhahn and Andrea de Rynsburger; with the former having taught him a lot. Following her death in 2371, Hochburger privately mourned her death together with his fathers.

Following several years of care under his grandparents, Hochburger was eventually sent to Filipsburg where he was educated in the Filipsburg State School and advancing on to the University of Filipsburg-Xanderholm, obtaining a master's degree in political sciences in 2365.

== Early political career ==
Having been born to two prominent leaders, Hochburger was frequently subjected to mass speculation of his future in politics, with media outlets naming him as "Yekateria's future leader" and "the future of the Federation", much to [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]]'s mild annoyance. Hochburger then joined the [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity Party]] following his graduation from the University of Filipsburg-Xanderholm, and quickly became known within the party for his ties to the current leadership and his staunchly pro-reformist proposals. He then ran for his father's seat in the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]] following de Rynsburger's plans to run for president, winning a comfortable majority against opponent Aleš Skalický of the [[Federalist Party (Yekateria)|Federalist Party]]. He was inaugurated on 3 January 2366, following the opening of the 67th [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]].

=== Federal deputy ===
[[File:Lukas-hochburger-v.jpg|thumb|250x250px|Hochburger in 2366]]
Following his election as a federal deputy, Hochburger quickly moved to support new progressive proposals being put forward by fellow party members as well as coalition members from the [[Alliance for Liberal Democracy]], notably co-sponsoring Vice Chancellor [[Anne Laurent]]'s reform bill aimed at improving protections and guarantees for labour unions and union workers. He also advocated for a "total reform" towards a system of governance more aligned with the {{W|Nordic model|Nordic model}}, believing it to be the best balance between workers, corporations, and the consumer.

==== Workers' Fair Share and Democracy Act ====
On 7 September 2366, Hochburger, along with 3,573 co-sponsors in the House and Senate, proposed the ''Workers' Fair Share and Democracy'' Act, a bill which intended to bring increased power for workers in deciding the future of their companies, granting them the ability to negotiate for stock options as a joint group of employees. The bill also sought to foster {{W|Workplace democracy|workplace democracy}} by augmenting merit with the adoption due process and democratic structuring in corporations. The bill was drafted in response to positive results from experiments in workplace democracy in the [[Malenkov Group]] and [[Yekaterian Group]] and was passed with an overwhelming majority by the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]] with 146,375 votes in favour. The bill also passed in the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]] with 109,170 votes in favour.

==== Stability of the Constitution Amendment ====
In the aftermath of the seventeenth rewriting of the [[Federal Constitution of the Yekaterian Federation]], Hochburger, along with several other members of his party, acted to formalise the constitution and avoid a potential recompilation in future by proposing the Stability of the Constitution Amendment as a resolution in the House of Federals. Following intense campaigning in favour of the amendment, Hochburger secured 227,049 votes in favour in the House and unanimous support from the Senate. The passing of the amendment officially dropped the constitutional designation preceding the name of the Federation, changing the ''Seventeenth Yekaterian Federation'' into simply the ''Yekaterian Federation''.

==== Support for trade with URSR ====
In 2369, following Chancellor [[Ryan Hochhahn]] and Vice Chancellor [[Roland Schöfauer]]'s proposals for the next few years of the Federation, Hochburger expressed support for opening up trade with the [[Union of Reninvich Socialist Republics]], seeing them as a potentially valuable partner and left-wing ally given Yekateria's left-leaning tendencies. Hochburger worked with fellow House colleagues in order to set the stage for improved relations with the URSR, culminating in the opening of trade and the signing of a non-aggression agreement between the two left-leaning superpowers.

=== Committee assignments ===
Throughout his five years in the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]], Hochburger served in the following committees and subcommittees;

* House Committee on Oversight and Accountability (Non-voting directorial member)
* House Committee on Human Rights and Ombudspersons
** Subcommittee on International Promotion of Rights
* House Committee on Finance
** Subcommittee on Katrina Street Reforms

=== Caucus memberships ===

* House Liberal Solidarists
* House Group for Arts
* House Queer Club

=== Majority Leader of the House of Federals (2367–2371) ===
In the days following then-House Leader Yahontova's announcement of her retirement as Majority Leader, Hochburger promptly announced his running for the position, gaining support from more traditional Malenkovist members of the party due to his family background as well as achieving support from progressive members of the party due to his work in planning and executing reforms. Hochburger was also noted for his efforts to foster closer relationships between party members. As such, he was overwhelmingly elected as the party's majority leader.

==== Tenure ====
As Majority Leader, Hochburger would reorganise the party's flagging strength and discipline, seeking to reunite the party's increasingly splintered factions and form a more unified House Solidarity Caucus. Noting that the party's increase in strength in the [[2365 Yekaterian federal elections]] was largely due to the personal popularities of President [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]] and Chancellor [[Ryan Hochhahn]], he would increase the frequency of the party's "team huddle" meetings and recreation days to improve party morale.

Hochburger's tenure as Majority Leader also saw an increased focus in passing bills aimed at progressive reforms, which alienated the party's Old Malenkovist faction and culminated in the [[Great Defection of 2368]], which saw the party drop to third place in the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]] due to a mass exodus of older party politicians to the [[Federalist Party (Yekateria)|Federalist Party]]. Undeterred by the exodus of politicians, Hochburger continued his reforms and brought in newer members from the party's youth wing.

== Vice presidency (2370–2381) ==
[[File:LukasHochburgerportrait.png|left|thumb|250x250px|Lukas Hochburger's official portrait, 2371]]
In the aftermath of the [[2370 Yekaterian federal elections]], which granted incumbent president [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]] a second term and gave Solidarity 34% of seats, Hochburger was nominated by his father as Vice President. His nomination was approved by the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]], with his inauguration in a private ceremony on 26 November 2370 in the Federal Presidency Building in [[Xanderholm]], and a public ceremony on 10 January 2371 along with the returning members of the [[Second De Rynsburger-Hochhahn cabinet|De Rynsburger-Hochhahn II cabinet]].

=== First term (2370–2376) ===
Whilst initially having been appointed to serve as the first ever Fourth Vice President in seven decades, Hochburger was promoted to the position of First Vice President, succeeding [[William Taylor]], in a move by President de Rynsburger to "prepare the next generation of leaders to manage the Federation". Hochburger became the first vice president in Yekaterian history to also be the son of a sitting president.

As his father's first deputy, Hochburger became immensely involved in the daily running of the state, promoting new policies and reforms to improve government efficiency and the welfare of civil servants working in government. Hochburger's previous experience as the Majority Leader of the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]] also brought closer relationships between House members and the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]], putting Hochburger as the lead negotiator and interlocutor between the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]] and [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]]. This proved especially useful in the various budget crises which would occur in the 2370s with the increasingly disparate policies and focuses between President de Rynsburger and Chancellors [[Ryan Hochhahn]] and [[Thomas-Anton Lindeman]].

Hochburger was also entrusted with the responsibility of meeting with and working with younger reformists, especially due to his position as the first next generation leader in the presidency. Hochburger's efforts in working with reformists eventually brought the creation of the Federal Diversity Initiative, and the Federal Board for Equality in Treatment, the first major step in ending racial discrimination in the Federation.

=== Reelection ===
[[File:Dsc-792616644718087464.jpeg|thumb|250x250px|Hochburger at a campaign fundraising event]]
With the [[2375 Yekaterian federal elections|2375 federal elections]] approaching, Hochburger was officially nominated as the running mate of [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]], who would run for a third and final term as President. Initially, de Rynsburger had planned to step down in the election – but with the party still reeling from the shock caused by the [[International Crisis of 2372 (Yekateria)|International Crisis of 2372]], de Rynsburger opted to run for a third term in order to stabilise the government before allowing for a generational transition.

Hochburger would face off against [[Federalist Party (Yekateria)|Federalist]] candidate [[Thomas-Anton Lindeman|Thomas-Antoine Lindeman]], defending the de Rynsburger administration's record against Lindeman's accusations of fraud and waste, and was seen by the de Rynsburger campaign as the best politician to appeal to reform-minded younger Yekaterians, as opposed to Lindeman's largely yuppie support base. The election ended in a toss-up, with the two candidates achieving very close results in terms of polling and electoral votes. However, with the [[2376 Yekaterian presidential compromise]], the father-son ticket won in exchange for concessions to Federalist candidates [[Thomas Aspen-Malenkov]] and [[Thomas-Anton Lindeman|Thomas-Antoine Lindeman]].

Hochburger was also noted for his constant appearances at schools and youth clubs throughout the electoral campaign period, further showing his attempts to understand the concerns of younger generations of Yekaterians.

=== Second term (2376–2381) ===
Hochburger was sworn in to his second term as vice president on 10 January 2376 at the [[Skavštona Grand Palace]], along with the other members of the new [[Third De Rynsburger-Hochhahn cabinet|De Rynsburger-Hochhahn III cabinet]].

On 7 April 2376, his father [[Ryan Hochhahn]] officially announced his resignation as Chancellor, prompting the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]] to vote on a successor. Having taken part in the negotiations surrounding the [[2376 Yekaterian presidential compromise|2376 presidential compromise]], Hochburger swiftly moved to ensure a stable transition and strong support for [[Thomas-Anton Lindeman|Thomas-Antoine Lindeman]], who was to be chosen as Ryan's successor in the event of his early retirement or resignation. With the approval of Solidarity leadership, the Malenkovist parties formally voted Lindeman in as the next chancellor.

Shortly after Lindeman's accession as chancellor, however, the country would begin to see the [[2376 Yekaterian budgetary crisis]], formed largely due to conflicting campaign promises and planned policies by President de Rynsburger and Chancellor Lindeman. Following repeated attempts to get a coherent budget passed through, the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]] was unable to break through its deadlock, causing the [[2376 Yekaterian government shutdown]]. Realising the severity of the issue, Hochburger teamed up with [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]] Chief of Staff [[Tara de Rynsburger]] to form a working group aimed at bringing closer the increasingly disparate plans and policies of the various federal executive departments, which had massively contributed to the deadlock and subsequent government shutdown. Following a year of proposals and agreement by the Council, Hochburger helped set up the Federal Advisory Council, with party leaders of the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]] being invited to participate.

In the early months of 2376, the Federation also saw the outbreak of the [[Witeshuis-Tikurisitean War]], which saw the Federal Republic of [[Witeshuis (YF)|Witeshuis]] force the Federal Republic of [[Tikurisite (YF)|Tikurisite]] out of its capital of [[Menoria (Tikurisite)|Menoria]] and occupied a third of Tikurisitean territory bordering Witeshuis. Understandably upset by the sudden internal invasion, Hochburger advocated for intervention in the conflict to initial reluctance. Following reports of war crimes being committed by the Witeshuisean forces, however, Hochburger supported his father's efforts in sending massive {{W|Materiel|materiel}} and {{W|Weapon|armament}} support to Tikurisite, eventually resulting in the war's conclusion with a stalemate and ceasefire treaty.

==== Party leadership campaign ====
[[File:Hochburger-Rynsburgen-Freitag poster final.png|left|thumb|200x200px|Hochburger, [[Karl-Alexander Rynsbürgen]], and [[Karl Freitag]]'s leadership campaign poster]]
Prior to the [[2378 Yekaterian midterm elections|2378 midterm elections]], Hochburger as well as then-International Representative [[Karl Freitag]] and then-Senator [[Karl-Alexander Rynsbürgen]] began preparations for their candidacies in the leadership of the [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity Party]]. Having had a wealth of experience from his various positions in the Federal Assembly leadership and as [[Federal Vice President of Yekateria|Federal Vice President]], Lukas was seen as the frontrunner for the position of Party President of the [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity Party]].

The leadership trio easily secured their election as the party's top three leaders, largely due to the high momentum from their successes in administration and foreign policy, as well as their personal popularity, causing a large support for their campaign and their bid for Solidarity's leadership. They were inaugurated on 25 May 2378, with Hochburger becoming the party president.

==== Presidential election campaign ====
{{Main|2380 Yekaterian federal elections}}
Hochburger enjoyed broad popular support across the left-wing parties in Yekateria, particularly from reformist members of [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity]] and the [[Social Democrats of Yekateria|Social Democrats]]. His support of reform and improved foreign relations with other nations in the universe also earned him the support of figures such as [[King-Emperor Vincent Renard]] of Majapahit, who saw him as a potentially great figure for improving [[Yekaterian-Majapahitian relations]]. Domestically, meanwhile, Hochburger gained the endorsement of the other members of the [[Alliance for Liberal Democracy]], as well as that of the [[Ecological Socialists of Yekateria|Ecological Socialists]] and the [[Democratic Unity Party of Yekateria|Democratic Unity Party]]. Thanks to his high personal popularity, Hochburger secured his party's nomination with ease.

He would then face [[Federalist Party (Yekateria)|Federalist]] candidate [[Thomas-Anton Lindeman|Thomas-Antoine Lindeman]] and [[Greater Yekaterian People's Party|People's]] candidate [[Catarina Stanca]] in the first round of the election, with the issues of foreign relations and the continually increasing cost of living being major themes for the election. Unlike Lindeman and Stanca, who largely portrayed these issues as a matter of national security and advocated for more nationalist policies, Hochburger instead chose to portray the issue from the eyes of average Yekaterians. Through this, he was able to portray himself as a leftist-leaning yet pragmatic candidate who had had the people's interests in mind. Hochburger narrowly edged through the first and second rounds, winning 51% of the popular vote in the end.

== Presidency (2381–2391) ==
[[File:LukasPortraitYK.png|thumb|250x250px|Lukas Hochburger's portrait as president]]

=== Inauguration ===
Hochburger was inaugurated as the 39th president of the Yekaterian Federation on 10 January 2381. At 37, he is the first elected Yekaterian president since the 23rd century to have assumed the office above the age of 30, largely due to him putting off the idea of running for president until the mid-2370s. He is also the first man to have been president and vice president since [[Antonie Kovačova]], and the second vice president in the 24th century to have been elected president in a popular election after being vice president. Hochburger is also the first Yekaterian president from the Federal Capital of [[Xanderholm]].

=== First 100 days ===
In his first few days as President, Hochburger signed numerous executive orders, including the awarding of the [[Order of the North Star]] to preceding leaders who served between the 2350s and 2370s, and allowing the usage of the title "''Fmr. President/Vice President/Chancellor/Vice Chancellor of the Federation''" for former leaders. Within the first two months, Hochburger also signed in measures to combat rising housing prices in Yekateria, the lack of affordability for medication and the generally high expenses in the healthcare system, as well as for the provision of subsidised school meals.

Working with Chancellor [[Eleonora Ernman]], Hochburger largely deferred domestic policy execution to Ernman throughout her time as chancellor, signing bills aiming to allow for more competition in sectors previously dominated by public corporations and private conglomerates. Throughout the first 100 days, Hochburger also advocated for a reform of the increasingly unwieldy and complicated Yekaterian regulatory and taxation system and passed laws promoting the growth of the finance and agricultural sectors. He also recognised the need for further implementation of technology into the typical workflow for production, signing executive orders establishing new commissions to study the feasibility of improving production workflow across multiple Yekaterian industries.

=== Domestic policy ===
Following unrelenting increases in the cost of living and the beginning of several riots over the increased costs, as well as the imminent threat of bank failures from Chancellor Ernman's reckless cuts in regulation and taxation, Hochburger and other coalition members of the [[Hochburger-Ernman cabinet]] (excluding the Federalists) considered calling for a {{W|Constructive vote of no confidence|constructive vote of no confidence}} towards Chancellor Ernman's government. However, this was preempted by Ernman's resignation on 25 August 2381, allowing for fresh coalition talks to be held in determining the next chancellor. Hochburger served as mediator throughout the talks, eventually securing the chancellorship for [[Karl Freitag]] in exchange for allowing the Federalists further scrutiny on future plans.

==== Societal Expansion Program ====
In August 2382, Hochburger greenlit the Societal Expansion Program, developed by Vice Chancellors [[Charles Cormier]] and [[Julia Schöfauer-Andersen]], as well as Business and Labour Secretary [[Marta Melikova]], in hopes of boosting Yekateria's population within the next century by 100% following over a decade of stagnating population growth and the shrinking size of Yekaterian families. The ''Societal Expansion Act of 2382'' was passed by a significant margin in the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]], with the act calling for significant investments into family planning, childcare support, educational support, and "creating the perfect conditions for natural family growth".

Largely supported and backed by the [[Alliance for Liberal Democracy]] coalition, as well as minor support from the [[Federalist Party (Yekateria)|Federalists]], Hochburger called for all of Yekaterian society to support the program, calling it "a long-term, medium risk, and high-reward project".

==== The Homes Project ====
[[File:61b7057c34125a22f298fe84 800.jpg|left|thumb|Hochburger visiting a newly constructed {{W|Starter home|starter home}} in [[Yekateryvko]], January 2383]]
Seeking to soften the continuously increasing house prices in Yekateria, Hochburger worked with Second Vice President [[Nico de Rynsburger-Hess]] and First Vice Chancellor [[Julia Schöfauer-Andersen]] in one of the largest starter home and social housing projects of the 24th century, the Homes Project. As part of Hochburger's proposal, which made it into the ''New Homes and Domicile Construction Act of 2382'', he introduced a plan to construct 40 million starter homes within the next 4 years, allocating over 30 trillion Korunas for the plan.

Following the introduction of the ''New Homes and Domicile Construction Act'', Hochburger engaged on a mass public campaign to promote the plan and dissuade potential criticism towards the project. As part of the campaign, he travelled across major cities in Yekateria and personally highlighting potential sites for new starter homes and social housing apartments, aiming to foster a sense of integration with the surrounding community. Despite initial skepticism from critics, Hochburger received praise for his hands-on approach in promoting the project. As such, the ''New Homes and Domicile Construction Act'' passed the Federal Assembly with ease, with Hochburger signing the project and marking its beginning on 14 September 2382.

==== Great Social Society Plan ====
In November 2382, Hochburger approved to the Great Social Society Plan, aiming to fully implement the {{W|Nordic model|Nordic model}} and further integrate {{W|Social democracy|social democracy}} into the Malenkovist system. The plan, co-developed by Chancellor [[Karl Freitag]] and Vice Chancellors [[Julia Schöfauer-Andersen]] and [[Mark Winters]], would see the implementation of a mandatory paid parental leave policy for all parents, improved coordination between the Domovstranka and the Federal Housing Group to tackle homelessness and housing unaffordability, forming the Federal Office for Employment Mediation, cracking down on corruption, and promote a full push towards {{W|Single-payer healthcare|single-payer healthcare}}, among other things.

The plan faced significant opposition from the [[Federalist Party (Yekateria)|Federalist Party]], who argued that the plan would "cause a runaway increase in spending" and "massively worsen inflation". Following meetings between Hochburger, Freitag, and Federalist leaders, however, he was able to secure partial support for the plan.

=== Foreign policy ===
In his inaugural speech, Hochburger described himself as a "realist in foreign policy", and argued that further relations between like-minded nations in the universe was necessary in pushing forward the ideas of {{W|Democracy|democracy}}, the respect for the {{W|General will|general will of the people}}, and the eradication of {{W|Corruption|corruption}} and {{W|Patronage|patronage}} in governments across the universe. Under Hochburger's presidency, Yekateria saw increasingly better relations with nations such as the [[United Empire (GeoRP)|United Empire]] and increased participation in international operations seeking to topple tyrants and rebels.

==== ''Nová Realpolitika'' ====
As part of his reserved powers in the Yekaterian government, Hochburger formulated the ''Nová Realpolitika'' (New ''Realpolitik'') foreign policy, aimed at increasing Yekaterian partnerships with other democracies and constitutional monarchies in the universe. Hochburger also oversaw the further opening of trade relations with the [[United Empire (GeoRP)|United Empire]] and directed the formation of [[Státrade]] in order to prevent potential market imbalances between the Yekaterian and United Imperial markets. Hochburger has also promoted the sharing of ideas and business goals between nations in order to further improve international standardisation.

==== Operation Winds of Change ====
In September 2382, following weeks of tense diplomatic exchanges and rumours of a kidnapping attempt aimed at the Prime Minister of Azeria, Emmet Brickowski, Hochburger authorised the beginning of Operation Winds of Change, a temporary {{W|Regime change|regime change}} operation aimed at unseating King Jake Azeria and installing a provisional government which would aim to rectify the country's issues. As part of the operation, Azerians were subject to a {{W|Winning hearts and minds|hearts and minds}} campaign, including the dispersal of pamphlets and brochures aimed at discrediting King Jake's government, which was seen as the international community as a {{W|Kakistocracy|kakistocracy}}.

Following an assassination attempt on King Jake Azeria, masterminded by the [[Greater Yekaterian People's Party|People's Party]], the nature of the operation changed into that of a {{W|Combined arms|combined arms}} operation which saw the liberation of Azeria by Yekateria, the [[United Empire (GeoRP)|United Empire]], and [[Alvea]]. The Azerian government rapidly crumbled, with the three superpowers forming three occupation zones and a shared occupation zone around the former capital of [[Zoroark]]; Hochburger placed Vice President and Defense Secretary [[Thomas Aspen-Malenkov]] in charge of the operation and occupation.

==== North Azeria ====

==== Diplomatic breakdown with the United Empire ====

=== Military coups and reforms ===

== First vice chancellery (2391–2396) ==
Although eligible for a third term as president, Hochburger expressed his desire to reinforce the two-term precedent observed by former presidents [[William-Alexander de Rynsburger]] and [[William Taylor]] and did not run in the [[2390 Yekaterian presidential election|2390 presidential elections]], instead endorsing his first deputy vice president at the time [[Karl-Alexander Rynsbürgen]] in the party primaries. He hinted towards political retirement during the electoral season; however, he was {{W|Draft (politics)|drafted}} by the [[Asteran–Liberal Democratic Alliance]] and pleaded to by ''Chancellor-candidate'' [[Mark Winters]] to serve in his cabinet, overseeing the coalition's financial and economic policy. Hochburger accepted the pleas and was chosen as [[Federal Vice Chancellor of Yekateria|second vice chancellor]] and [[Federal Department of Finance and Economic Affairs (Yekateria)|federal secretary of finance and economic affairs]].

=== Economic reforms ===

== Between vice chancelleries (2396–2398) ==
Following the left-wing coalition's loss in the [[2395 Yekaterian federal elections|2395 federal elections]], Hochburger returned to primarily serving as Second Secretary of Solidarity, the party's deputy leader, and as one of the ''de-facto'' deputy Federal Leaders of the Opposition.

== Second vice chancellery (2398–present) ==
Hochburger returned to government along with the [[Rynsbürgen-Schöfauer-Andersen cabinet]] following the [[Asteran–Liberal Democratic Alliance]]'s victory in the [[2398 Yekaterian midterm elections|2398 midterm elections]], returning to his previous portfolios as second vice chancellor and federal secretary of finance and economic affairs.

=== Universal Health System 2400 Corporation (UHS2C) ===

== Political positions ==
Hochburger has frequently been described as a {{W|Reformism|reformist}} with {{W|Pragmatism|pragmatist}} tendencies; he has previously spoken of issues facing Yekateria, such as corruption, inefficient management, and the extensive influence of {{W|Oligarchy|oligarchs}}. Throughout his political career, he has frequently condemned the leniency towards oligarchs by the [[Federal Government of Yekateria|Federal Government]], consistently working to reduce their influence. Yekaterian journalist [[Valentína Rybárová]] wrote that Hochburger "is a politician who supports compromise – although he has always stood by his values and ensures that the average citizen is heard". In the cabinets of former President [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]] and former Chancellors [[Ryan Hochhahn]] and [[Thomas-Anton Lindeman|Thomas-Antoine Lindeman]], Hochburger was frequently described as "the what-abouts"; he was noted to frequently ask on any policy's effects towards certain groups of people and was known to occasionally cause other members of the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]] to reinforce or rethink their position on any issues.

=== Economic policy ===
Hochburger supports increased economic opportunities for middle-class and lower-class Yekaterians, believing that "a fair playing field" would greatly promote progress in innovation, economic growth, and personal prosperity. As federal deputy, he voted in favour of opening trade with the [[Union of Reninvich Socialist Republics]], arguing that it would ultimately benefit both sides of the deal. Meanwhile, as president, Hochburger has fostered further economic relationships with the United Empire, through his formation of [[Státrade]] to allow for easy cross-border trading.

In terms of long-term domestic economic policy, Hochburger has frequently mentioned the concept of a "cooperative economy", which he has described as "a system of mutual symbiosis" between big and small industry players. Throughout his political career, Hochburger has opposed the concept of {{W|Trickle-down economics|trickle-down economics}}, instead having promoted the concept of {{W|Trickle-up economics|trickle-up economics}} and seeing demand as a cornerstone to successful and sustainable economic growth.

=== Foreign policy ===
Hochburger has historically advocated for improved relations between Yekateria and nations such as the [[United Empire (GeoRP)|United Empire]] and the [[Union of Reninvich Socialist Republics]], seeing them as ideological equals in the promotion of leftism, democracy, and consensus-based decision making. As president, he has expressed hopes of forming an international trade alliance.

=== Environment and energy ===
[[File:Hochburgerwinter m.jpg|left|thumb|225x225px|Hochburger in Kalysia, December 2382]]
Hochburger has consistently supported strong environmental policies and goals, arguing that the quality of life heavily depends on the environment surrounding their place of residence and place of work. To that end, he has frequently supported policies to promote {{W|Green building|green building}} and eco-friendly agricultural practices and protecting Yekateria's ecological reserves, which covers roughly 60% of Yekaterian territory.

As president, Hochburger has enthusiastically supported Vice Chancellor and Ecology Secretary [[Moritz Waldmann]]'s ''Ecobuilding Plan'', an ambitious plan to make all Yekaterian buildings adhere to strict yet affordable environmental standards. Hochburger has also historically supported further reductions to farmland sizes, believing them to be overly inefficient and wasteful for food production, instead supporting the use of vertical farming and making {{W|Regenerative farming|regenerative farming}} mandatory.

Following power outages which had struck the Federation throughout the early 2370s, Hochburger also advocates for smarter electricity management solutions, and proposes the further inclusion of {{W|Fusion energy|fusion power}} into Yekateria's energy mix. He has also mulled the idea of reintroducing mandatory solar panel installations into Yekaterian building codes, a standard which had existed from the 2200s to the 2330s.

=== Governance ===
Hochburger highly supports the current Malenkovist model of consensus-based governance and believes that it could be further improved by allowing for more opportunities for the various executive departments to collaborate on joint agencies and projects. As president, he has greenlighted Chancellor Freitag's ''Next Generation Government'' proposal which seeks to reduce redundancy and increase efficiency in the [[Federal Government of Yekateria|Federal Government]].

As vice president, Hochburger also supported the proposal to increase the size of the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]] from 427,176 seats to 632,420 seats. In an op-ed for [[The Modern Federation]], he wrote, "the Federal Assembly should always grow. It's an essential part of our country, and to restrain it would restrain the voice of the people. Let it grow!"

=== Healthcare ===
Hochburger supports {{W|Single-payer healthcare|single-payer healthcare}}, seeing the collapse of the former [[Federal Health System (Yekateria)|Federal Health System]] as an "avoidable mistake" and "the largest human rights violation of the century". As president, he has promoted the full transition to single-payer healthcare with the [[Great Social Society Plan]].

== Personal life ==
[[File:Lukasleon0093621559.jpg|thumb|300x300px|Hochburger and his former partner, Leon Fromm]]
Lukas Hochburger is presently married to [[Oliver Marek]] since 2384, who served as First Spouse, Sixth Spouse, and currently as Second Spouse under him. He has two sons with Marek; Ales (born 2389), and Alexander (born 2393). Previously, he was in a relationship with René Kessler between 2371 to 2376. Prior to that, he also dated Leon Fromm, a social activist and media personality from [[Malensia (YF)|Malensia]].

Hochburger has also been noted to be more outgoing as compared to other leaders from the Malenkov Family, having been known to stroll around in the capital city of [[Xanderholm]] in the early mornings and late evenings and holding pop-up meetings with citizens on the street. He is also known for his casual dress sense, forgoing formal suits and ties for events involving visits to the residences of average Yekaterians.

As with his father de Rynsburger, Hochburger is an {{W|Atheism|atheist}}, although he has expressed support for the legalisation of private religious practice in the Federation.

According to the Federal Transparency and Accountability Commission, Hochburger reportedly has 47 trillion Korunas in assets, placed in a blind trust with an external manager holding control over his blind trust.

The '''''Federálvorusil''''' ({{Small|Yekaterian}}: [''/ˈfɛdɛraːlˈvɔrusil/''], meaning literally: ''Federal Armed Forces'') is the armed forces of the [[Yekateria|Yekaterian Federation]]. The ''Federálvorusil'' is divided into the [[Yekaterian Federal Army|Federal Army]], the [[Yekaterian Federal Navy|Federal Navy]], the [[Yekaterian Federal Air Force|Federal Air Force]], the [[Yekaterian Federal Space Force|Federal Space Force]], the [[Yekaterian Federal Special Operations Forces|Federal Special Operations Forces]], and the non-combat branches, consisting of the [[Yekaterian Federal Logistics and Support Service|Federal Logistics and Support Service]] and the [[Yekaterian Federal Military Intelligence|Federal Military Intelligence]]. Auxiliary branches also include the [[Yekaterian Federal Legions|Federal National Legions]], the country's militia, as well as the [[Yekaterian Blue Legion|Blue Legions]], a special paramilitary force.

The various service branches are responsible for a particular domain – the Army conducts land operations, the Navy conducts maritime littoral operations, the Air Force conducts aerial operations, and the Space Force conducts space operations. The Special Operations Forces, meanwhile, serves as an elite counterpart to the four main branches, playing a supporting role in strategic and operational objectives. The Logistics and Support Service handles {{W|Military logistics|military logistics}} and {{W|Military medicine|military medical}} needs across the four main service branches, while the Military Intelligence serves as the main {{W|Military intelligence|intelligence}} branch of the entire Federal Armed Forces. In addition to the conventional military, the Federálvorusil includes the [[Yekaterian Federal Legions|Federal National Legions]], the country's national militia, as well as the [[Yekaterian Blue Legion|Blue Legions]], a paramilitary force with a largely unknown purpose besides serving that of a separate special force.

Initially formed as the [[Red Army of Yekateria|People's Red Army of Yekateria]] in the prelude to the Great July Revolution, the ''Federálvorusil'' played a decisive and crucial role in [[History of Malenkovist Yekateria|the country's history]], having successfully fended off numerous regime change attempts by hostile enemies against the [[Malenkovism|Malenkovist]] government and serving as the country's primary defender and power projectionist. The ''Federálvorusil'' also played a key role in Yekateria's territorial evolution, with its forces bringing several formerly independent nations into the Yekaterian fold over the years. The ''Federálvorusil'' falls under the jurisdiction of the [[Federal Department of Defense (Yekateria)|Federal Department of Defence]] (Federálobrany), currently led by [[Franzi Schöfauer]].

The [[Federal President of Yekateria]] is the [[Supreme Commander-in-chief of Yekateria|Supreme Commander-in-Chief]] of the armed forces and forms military policy with the Federálobrany, with the advice of the [[Federal Chancellery of Yekateria]]. Through the Federal Security Council, these organs of government are ultimately responsible for forming and carrying out Yekateria's military policy.

As of January 2402, the ''Federálvorusil'' had a strength of 904 billion active-duty personnel and 55 billion civilian personnel, placing it among the largest military forces in the universe. In addition, the ''Federálvorusil'' has approximately 430 billion reserve personnel and 142 billion legionnaires under the [[Yekaterian Federal Legions|Federal National Legions]]. The ''Federálvorusil'' is also fairly well-funded, with Yekaterian military expenditures currently at $8.6 sextillion as of 2402, making up 4.6% of national GDP. Currently, the number of personnel is evenly split between human and {{W|Military robot|non-human}} (android) soldiers, although there are plans to increase the number of android soldiers in the armed forces.

Following increased Yekaterian international participation following the [[Yekaterian visit to Majapahit|Yekaterian diplomatic visit to Majapahit]] and opening up, the [[Federal Government of Yekateria|Yekaterian government]] is planning to reorganise the ''Federálvorusil'' to better suit changing times.

==History==
{{Main|Military history of Yekateria|List of wars involving Yekateria}}
Whilst Yekateria has had standing armies for its numerous centuries of existence, the history of the ''Federálvorusil'' dates back to the formation of the [[Yekaterian People's Red Army|People's Red Army]] in the lead-up to the [[Great July Revolution of Yekateria|Great July Revolution]]. These forces were initially formed out of worker-volunteers in support of the [[Communist Party of the Yekaterian Federation|Communist Party of Yekateria]], as well as working-class defectors from the former [[Yekaterian Royal Armed Forces]]. Following liberal reforms in the early-middle 24th century, however, the armed forces were seen as "too conservative" and many reformists saw the need for political neutrality within the armed forces to avoid the possibility of {{W|military coups}}.

=== Modern foundation ===
The ''Federálvorusil'' was proposed as a name for the then-[[People's Armed Forces of Yekateria]] by several reformist politicians in light of the [[Reforms of the Middle 24th Century]], as part of {{W|decommunization|decommunisation}} and the dropping of socialist symbolism from the armed forces in the name of political neutrality. The {{W|Red star|''Krasnaya Zvezda''}} (Red Star), a communist symbol and the symbol of the People's Red Army, was retained, with the emblem of the [[Federal Department of Defence (Yekateria)|Federal Department of Defence]] overlaid on the star.

While the founding leaders of the new ''Federálvorusil'' saw it as a continuation of the [[People's Armed Forces of Yekateria|People's Armed Forces]] and the People's Red Army, they sought to also distance the new armed forces's traditions from the "ideologically loaded" past, with {{W|Political commissar|political commissars}} being an early casualty of the reforms and troop training focusing on fighting power over ideological loyalty.

'''Yekateria''' ([[Yekaterian]]: Yekaterská''',''' [''/ɛkaterskä/'']), officially the '''Yekaterská Federation'''{{efn|Yekaterská Federaciá, [/''ɛkaterskä fˌɛdəɹˌe͡ɪsɪˈɑ''/]}}, is an intergalactic federation located on the habitable planets [[Zemea]] in the {{W|Milky Way|Domápevnosť}} galaxy and [[Yekaterská-Beta]] in the {{W|Andromeda Galaxy|Via Yekaterska}} galaxy respectively, with a scattered presence in neighbouring galaxies. The federation is divided into 42 interplanetary republics and numerous federal territories, of which [[Xanderholm]] serves as the main capital and largest city. [[Nataliska]] and [[Preszov]] serve as secondary capitals, with other major urban areas being [[Yevanska]], [[Filipsburg]], and [[Fredosstad]]. As of 2400, it also asserts sovereignty over 22 star-system territories and various outpost planets reserved for non-civilian uses. The nation is also geographically and {{W|Megadiverse country|highly ecologically diverse}}, with the universe's largest territorial expanse and second-largest population, exceeding 24 trillion.

The semi-legendary [[Yulasenia culture]] existed within the core territory of what is now Yekateria, and formed various tribal confederations. In the year 769, various Saryuhradan tribes united to form the first proto-Yekaterian kingdom under the rule of Sviatoslav I, and adopted {{w|Eastern Orthodox Church|Orthodox Christianity}} in the year 1072 under the rule of Vladislav I. A brutal war between the [[Kingdom of Saryuhrad]] and the neighbouring Turkic [[Carsiphian Sultanate]] in the 13th century resulted in the Saryuhradan kingdom falling under Carsiphian suzerainty. Over the next few centuries, the Donskovite ducal family gained prominence within the former kingdom, quietly growing through trade and cordial relations with other free kingdoms such as the [[Kingdom of Vladimir]], eventually regaining independence in the [[Saryuhradan War of Independence]] in 1824. The nascent Grand Duchy of Saryuhrad then united in a personal union with the Kingdom of Vladimir, with [[Albert II Kremlyna]] as its tsar.

The 1901 personal union between the Kingdom of Vladimir-Saryuhrad and the Nordic [[Kingdom of Kalysia]] formed the Kingdom of Vladimir-Saryuhrad-Kalysia, necessitating the birth of the modern name Yekateria as a new name for the polity, with the name honouring [[Yekaterina II of Vladimir]], a 15th century ruler related to the constituent royal families of the new nation-state. However, the new kingdom's existence was cut short by the [[Yekaterian Revolution of 1911|Revolution of 1911]], abolishing the monarchy in place of a socialist state led by [[Vladimir Lenislav]] and eventually [[Mikhail Ilyanov]]. The regime lasted nearly three decades, after which a guerilla force led by [[Shane Dyleson]] in the heat of the [[Second Intercontinental War]] overthrew the government and established a new monarchical system. Following further decades of instability and autocratic rule in the early 21st century, the [[Malenkov Family]] rose to power as Yekateria's ruling family in 2050, ushering in a socialistic [[Malenkovism|Malenkovist]] era before ultimately implementing free-market and democratic reforms in the late 23rd and early 24th centuries. Regardless of reforms undertaken to improve political plurality, the Malenkovist movement maintains a strong presence, particularly through the [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity Party]].

In recent decades, reforms ensured that the constitution oversaw the [[Federal Government of Yekateria|Yekaterian government]]'s full embrace of the {{W|Semi-presidential republic|semi-presidential}} republic and principles of {{W|Liberal democracy|liberal democracy}} with proper separation of powers into the [[Federal executive departments of the Yekaterian Federation|executive]], legislative, and [[Federal judiciary of Yekateria|judicial]] branches. The [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria]], the national legislature, is composed of the lower [[House of the Federals of Yekateria|House of the Federals]] (based on population) and the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]] (representing each constituent republic). Since the 2350s, the [[Asteran-Liberal Democratic Alliance]] and the [[Our Homeland - Yekateria]] coalitions have dominated [[Politics of the Yekaterian Federation|Yekaterian politics]].

Internationally, the Yekaterian economy is ranked one of the highest in its universe and an average high standard of living, with GDP per capita exceeding $8 billion. The country also possesses a large abundance of natural and human resources, owing to its diverse landscape and large population. Yekateria possesses a massive nuclear arsenal and spends the most on military expenditures, at $8.6 sextillion. The country has been a founding member of the [[Asteran Union]], [[Evstotzkian Alliance]], [[GeoRP Universal Alliance of Nations|Universal Alliance of Nations]], and a member of the [[Little Nations]] organisations. Culturally, Yekateria is reputable for its city-wide parties held on special occasions as well as its burgeoning music scene. The country is the birthplace to celebrities such as renowned artist [[Katya Pavlova]] and popular pop group [[The Skies]], having had a strong influence on universal culture overall. As a byproduct of its wealth, Yekateria is also home to many ski resorts and marinas, as well as historical landmarks, palaces, and countryside mansions.

==Etymology==
The name ''Yekateria'' comes from a corrupted form of the {{W|Russian language|Russian}} Ekaterina ({{W|Cyrillic script|Cyrillic}}: Екатерина), being named after Catherine II of Vladimir, a former ruler of the Kingdom of Vladimir. Before this however the name of the state was named Vladimir-Saryuhrad, a personal union of the Kingdom of Vladimir and the Grand Duchy of Saryuhrad. The present name was adopted on 15 March 1901, months after the formation of the union of Vladimir-Saryuhrad-Kalysia after complaints on the unwieldy {{W|List of double placenames#Triple placenames|triple-barrelled}} name of the three unified states. The country was also listed on maps as [[New Sealand]] prior to the 1950s and used the name as an exonym prior to the Royal Endonym Decree of 1953.

In Yekaterian, the country is named ''Yekaterská''{{efn|De jure.}}, a direct transliteration of its former Yekaterian name ''Yekateriya'' ({{W|Cyrillic script|Cyrillic}}: Екатерия). In spoken language, however, it is referred to as ''Yekatersko'', mainly in use to refer to the nation of Yekateria as well as the [[Yekateria (republic)|constituent republic within the Federation]]. There are two words in Yekaterian which translate to "Yekaterians" in the English language - ''yekatersky''{{Efn|Usage: ''Yekatersky jazyk''}}, referring to those of the Yekaterian ethnicity and ''yekaterske''{{efn|Usage: ''Yekaterske graždanstvo''}}, for citizens of Yekateria.

=== Use of ''Yekatersko'' in other languages ===
In October 2382, Chancellor [[Carl Freitag|Karl Freitag]] issued a chancellorial proclamation mandating the use of "Yekaterská" in all promotional and economic materials, seeing the use of "Yekateria" and "Yekaterian" as an "imperialist-imposed foreign name". Following the move, [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity]] leaders in the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]] pushed through resolutions officialising the change; renaming the country's common name to "''Yekatersko''" and adopting "''Yekaterská Federaciá''" and "''Yekaterská Federation''" as the country's long titles in Yekaterian and English.

The Yekaterian government immediately publicised the name change, requesting that other nations use ''Yekaterská''/''Yekatersko'' as the nation's name in all legal, economic, cultural, and diplomatic affairs, with the [[United Empire]] being the first nation to recognise the officialisation of the {{W|Endonym|endonym}}.

==History==
===Early history===
The earliest traces of human settlement in Yekateria dates back to {{Circa|2 to 1.25 million}} years ago, with ''Homo erectus'' hominids leaving traces within the [[Yekateria–Skowronska–Tanaskazia Borderland]] in the form of flint tool speciments.

The first traces of modern humans were dated to roughly 45,000 years ago in the form of the semi-legendary [[Yulasenia culture]], with certain members reportedly having traversed the Kamepás Mountains into the Yekaterinska Okres'.

===Kingdom of Saryuhrad and Carsiphian suzerainty===
The country began in historical records as the Kingdom of Saryuhrad, formed in the year 769 with the Saryuhradans having lived on the land since 500 BC, historically having been subject to numerous other empires. The well-liked monarchs of the [[House of Kremsvol']] also rose to prominence within this time period, establishing personal unions and trading pacts with other kingdoms along the Sybyllan coast as well as uniting the Kingdom of Saryuhrad and the Duchy of Alin.

Between the 1100s and 1200s, the kingdom rose to local prominence due to its economic and military power, yet it had to constantly compete with the Sultanate of Carsiphia which formed in the Karskallan desert and competed with the Kingdom of Saryuhrad-Alinska for resources and land. The kingdom fell during the 15 Years War due to instability within the military and had a majority of land taken away and turned into the Carsiphian vassals of Sariuhrad and Alalin. The House of Kremsvol' managed to live on in the Kingdom of Artynia further up the coast.

The vassalised kingdom quietly developed economically and politically under Carsiphian suzerainty, with the Chief of the Sariuhradan Council agreeing to pay a 25% tribute to the newly-formed Carsiphian Empire. Chief Aleksandr Donskov supported the increasing population by introducing new laws suited for the citizens and was considered very modern for his time. The Sariuhradan Chiefdom eventually evolved into the Grand Duchy of Sariuhrad under the rule of Ivan Donskov in the 1550s, with Ivan Donskov chosen as the first Grand Duke.

===Rise of the Grand Duchy of Saryuhrad and personal unions===
Due to the internal problems of the Carsiphian Empire, Sultan Osman II of Carsiphia demanded a higher increase in tribute to the Carsiphian Empire or be threatened with war and annexation. Knowing that the state of the Carsiphian Imperial Army was in shambles and was severely outdated, Grand Duke Eduard Donskov and the Sariuhradan Citizen Guard secured arms from the Kingdom of Vladimir in exchange for the ruling Kremlyna family to become monarchs of the country if the revolution succeeded. After turning down the increased tribute demand, the Carsiphian Imperial Army dug in for a siege on the city of Sariuhrad, with the attempt failing. The increasingly powerful Sariuhradan Citizen Guard, reorganised into the Novo-Sariuhradsky Revolutionary Army chased the Carsiphian Imperial Army to the city of Cygeturku and conducted a successful siege due to large amounts of the Carsiphian Imperial Army having defected from the army due to poor morale.
[[File:AlbertIVSK.png|left|thumb|250x250px|[[Albert I of Yekateria|Tsar Albert I]] (1824–1861)]]
The Sariuhradan Citizen Guard then marched to the capital of Carsiphia, Carsyget, and forced a quick surrender within 3 years. King Albert IV of Vladimir was inaugurated as [[Albert I of Yekateria|Tsar Albert I of Vladimir-Saryuhrad]], with Stolitsyn renamed in honour of Eduard Donskov as Eduardsk' and Eduard being chosen as Duke of Eduardsk'. The grandson of Albert I through his predeceased son Nikolai, also the grandson of Eduard Donskov through his daughter Anna, Mikhail, took the throne as [[Albert II of Yekateria|Albert II of Vladimir-Saryuhrad]]. Albert II later married Katerina of the Kingdom of Kalysia and formed a personal union with the commencement of the marriage.

===Birth of Yekateria and the 20th century===
Upon the formation of the Personal Union of Vladimir-Saryuhrad-Kalysia on 1 January 1901, a much more fitting name had to be chosen for the sake of unity. A month-long discussion between the Tsar and his advisors settled on the name Yekateria-Kalysia, with the name Yekateria being a corrupted spelling of the name Yekaterina II, who had ruled the Kingdom of Vladimir in 1672 and had her daughters married into the Donskov family and the House of Kalysia.

====First Communist Yekateria====
This was not to last however, as the country fell apart due to disastrous economic policies and the war with Turulia in 1911 which led to the rise of Communism under [[Vladimir Lenislav]] during the 1912 Revolution. The country stayed neutral in WWI and involved heavily in WWII, with Leninsk' (formerly Eduardsk') having been under heavy fire by Axis powers. This greatly diminished support in the Communist government and was overthrown in 1943 by the Liberation Army of the Sybyllan Coast led by Sethlandian [[Shane I of Yekateria|Shane Dyleson]], who was then inaugurated as Shane I of Yekateria. The country flourished under the Dyleson family who then integrated into the House of Kremsvol' with the marriage of Shane II of Yekateria and Princess Anastasia Tykhova of Kremsvol'.

====Dyleson-Kremsvol' Era====
[[File:ShaneIKremsvol.png|thumb|250x250px|Tsar [[Shane I of Yekateria]] (1943–1972)]]
Under the rule of the Dyleson-Kremsvol' dynasty, Yekateria was transformed into a {{W|Constitutional monarchy|constitutional monarchy}} with the [[Parliament of Yekateria]] as its supreme legislative body, electing Prime Ministers to serve as the country's head of government. Under this system, Yekaterian prime ministers generally held a lot of power, as was the case under the premiership of [[Leonid Krylov]], [[Artur Kolesov]], and [[Lavrenti Malenkov]]. Following right-wing government policies under [[Anatoly Gruzkin]], however, the position began losing its power to the Parliament and would ultimately be rendered powerless and constrained following the end of the era.

Yekaterian society gained increased rights and freedoms under Prime Ministers Krylov and Kolesov, with the freedoms of speech and assembly being commonly defended by parliamentary legislators. The Dyleson-Kremsvols' took a backseat to active politics following the elections of 1949. The latter years of the Dyleson-Kremsvol' monarchy would see increased ultranationalism due to relaxed policies on foreign immigration and increasingly liberal policies under Prime Ministers [[Lavrenti Malenkov]] and [[Stanislav Krasnov]].

===Early 21st century: Rise of the Kremlynas===
The Ultranationalists led by [[Markus I Kremlyna of Yekateria|Markus Kremlyna]] (born Markus Pavlov) overthrew the Dyleson-Kremsvol' monarchy and reversed a majority of liberal policies and replaced them with highly conservative policies. Under his rule as the [[List of Yekaterian heads of state|Vozhd' of Yekateria]], he also initiated a civilian-military dictatorship with the [[Nationalist Party of Yekateria|Nationalist Party]] in charge, with [[Evgeny Goncharov]] as the Prime Minister. He later appointed himself as Tsar in 2004, further introducing strictly nationalist Yekaterian religious and cultural traditions intended to further public support for the new royal family, and ruled until 2015 where he died from lung cancer.

Following the death of Markus I, he was succeeded by his son [[Shane III Kremlyna of Yekateria|Shane III Kremlyna]] (2015–2029), who continued the {{W|Stratocracy|stratocratic}} regime, with [[Gennady Kadurin]] becoming Prime Minister. The Kremlyna-Kadurin regime instituted further conservative The Kremlyna-Kadurin regime would later go on to start a war with the Mehmedian Sultanate, resulting in Tsar Kremlyna being {{W|Killed in action|killed in action}}. [[Shane IV Kremlyna of Yekateria|Shane IV Kremlyna]] (2029–2042) would then succeed him as Tsar.

The Kremlyna dynasty then ruled the country with minor hiccups until the start of Peter I Kremlyna's reign in 2042. The reign of [[Peter I Kremlyna]] saw mass corruption and economic downturn causing a major recession in which 40% of the country became unemployed.

=== Mid-Late 21st century: Great July Revolution and the Great People's Purge===

}}

Amidst the crisis and increasing discontent against Peter I, the [[Communist Party of Yekateria|Communist Party]] led by [[Petrov Zamarkyov]] and [[Peter Malenkov]] led a popular uprising, kickstarting the [[Great July Revolution of Yekateria|Great July Revolution]] and subsequent [[Yekaterian Civil War (2048-2050)|Yekaterian Civil War]]. Throughout the course of the war, the Communists frequently held the upper hand due to the support of partisans and the general state of hatred for the monarchy at the time.

The revolution progressed rapidly, from the northern urban center of Kynavsk, to the southern industrial city of Karagrad. Within the span of two years, the Yekaterian People's Revolutionary Army had effectively cornered the Imperial Yekaterian Army to the city of Edytacske, forcing their surrender at the Battle of Edytacske, exactly two years following the Revolt of the Eleventh of July.

With Zamarkyov having been a {{W|Missing in action|casualty of war}}, Peter Malenkov established himself as the Chairman of the Yekaterian People's Socialist Republic. The [[Great People's Purge (Yekateria)|Great People's Purge]] then commenced, resulting in a total wipe-out of the formerly prominent clergy class, denounced and disgraced personally by Malenkov himself and his allies in the [[Communist Party of Yekateria|Communist Party]]. Malenkov promptly proclaimed himself as Chairman of the YPSR and as the Chairman of the Council of Ministers.

==== Peter Malenkov Era (2050-2082)====
Under his leadership, Peter Malenkov would hold on to near-absolute power until 2070, following the appointment of [[Pavel Lebedev]] as Premier. He begun a program of {{W|Collective farming|collectivisation}} and {{W|Industrialisation|mass industrialisation}} following the conclusion of the Great People's Purge, resulting in {{W|Famine|famines}} across the Sredniravnin region, and the estimated death of hundreds of thousands. Despite this, however, the program would push Yekaterian farming and industry far forward.

Malenkov would begin to adopt more draconian laws following the rebellion in [[Carsiphia Oblast (Yekateria)|Carsiphia Oblast]] in the late 2360s, consolidating more power in the party organs and cracking down on any potential sources of separatist movements within the country. However, he would slowly relinquish control as he aged, handing some form of power to premiers [[Pavel Lebedev]] and [[Dmitri Ulyanilov]], and as his closest revolutionary comrades died from old age. Prior to his death, Malenkov promoted his son [[Andrey Malenkov]] as the Head of the Security Forces, anointing him as his successor.

===22nd-24th centuries: Modern Malenkovist era===

====Post-Peter Era (2082 to 2200s) ====
Following [[Peter Malenkov]]'s death, Yekateria formally underwent a "period without leaders", in mourning following his death in December 2382. [[Andrey Malenkov]] took over, consolidating power whilst also bringing Yekateria closer to a democratic transition. Following the 2090 elections, [[Dmitry Zarynov]] of the [[Progressive Party of Yekateria|Progressive Party]]. Alarmed by another Progressive victory in 2095 and attempts by the Progressives to pursue charges against Communist Party members, the Communists under [[Andrey Malenkov]] staged an uprising, starting the Civil War of 2095. Andrey Malenkov returned to power following their military success in 2098, after high-profile defections from the [[Red Army of Yekateria|Red Army]]. The younger Malenkov then began consolidating his own power, holding the positions of President and Premier until his own death in 2106. His sister, [[Valentina Malenkova]], became Premier, with [[Aleksandr B. Kremsvol]] becoming President. Valentina Malenkova softened her brother's increasingly authoritarian tone, resigning in 2108 following a fall-out with military leaders.
[[File:IvanMalenkov.jpg|thumb|250x250px|[[Ivan Malenkov]], Yekaterian premier and paramount leader from 2108 to 2133]]
After Valentina's resignation, [[Ivan Malenkov]], Andrey's son, ascended to the Premiership in 2108 with [[Aleksandr A. Kremsvol]] as President. Two years later, Kremsvol would be replaced by [[Elena Kremsvol-Malenkova]]. Under Ivan Malenkov, Yekateria formally began steps towards space exploration with the inauguration of the Yekosmosage (now [[Federalkosmos (Yekateria)|Federalkosmos]]), and promptly began work on interspace travel. In the economics field, Yekateria implemented its first intranet, the [[Ivannet (Yekateria)|Ivannet]], serving as a new medium of communication not connected to the outside world. Yekateria also saw increased militarisation as a result of increased international tensions, with tensions coming to a head with the [[Anduat blockade of Yekateria]].

The government of Ivan Malenkov also frequently saw Yekateria switching allegiances, forming an "unholy alliance" with nations such as Kiev, the Lakish Empire, and Ben Labs in invading and occupying the nation of [[Anduat]]. However, this was not to last – with Kievan interests resulting in border skirmishes on the western border. Furthermore, the Yekaterian territory of [[New Yekateria]] was also under threat of being invaded. Realising that Yekateria was in dire straits, Ivan Malenkov promptly retired in 2133, handing over the reins to [[Stepan Malenkov]], his son and groomed successor.

Stepan Malenkov would oversee an attempt at some level of reform, attempting to normalise relations with nations such as [[Evstotzka]] and [[Kiev (YFU)|Kiev]], and opening cordial relations with [[Fahnhof]] over their shared interests in "dumb consumer technology". However, this was cut short following Stepan's assassination in 2143, resulting [[Kristina Malenkova]]'s ascension to the premiership. She would oversee success in the realm of international diplomacy, placing [[Yekaterian–Evstotzkan relations]] at their highest ever for the era. She would voluntarily retire in 2150.

Yekateria would later go on to enjoy relative peace and economic prosperity under the leaderships of [[Dmitri Malenkov]], [[Vasily Malenkov]], [[Julia Malenkova]], and [[Shane-Alexandra Kremlyna]], managing to secure non–aggression treaties with some of its former enemies, and consolidate its hold on its territories previously acquired over the past few decades. At the same time, the planet of [[Chetyria (planet)|Chetyria]] was successfully colonised, marking the beginning of the interplanetary period.

[[Erik Malenkov]] would rise to power in 2174 following [[Julia Malenkova]]'s retirement. Under his leadership, reforms as part of the move towards a multiparty democracy were implemented, allowing for the rise of the [[National Liberal Party of Yekateria|National Liberal Party]]. However, out of caution, the Yekaterian government ensured that the [[Communist Party of Yekateria|Communist Party]] would retain its massive majority. He would go on to become one of the longest–serving leaders, serving between 2174 and 2204. [[Aleksandr Malenkov]] succeeded him as leader.

====Natalian Era (2200s)====
[[File:Nataliaportrait.png|thumb|250x250px|[[Natalia Malenkova]], Yekateria's longest–serving leader from 2206 to 2250, and 2290 to 2295|left]]
In 2206, [[Natalia Malenkova]] ascended to power following the death of her father and previous leader [[Aleksandr Malenkov]]. An ambitious leader, Malenkova immediately began grand projects to improve the country's small towns and infrastructure, as well as Yekateria's military and space capabilities. She was also the first leader in Yekaterian history to belong to the LGBTQ+ community.

The [[MEGRAPRO]], Yekateria's largest–ever infrastructure project in its modern history, began in 2210. Costing over 4.4 quadrillion Korunas (adjusted for present–day costs), the project reached its conclusion in 2335, with billions of buildings built, hundreds of thousands of kilometers of roads and paths paved, as well as the mass creation of new jobs and efficiency processes that ultimately brought Yekateria to the forefront of universal production.

Yekateria advanced from a Type II civilisation to a Type III civilisation, going from an interplanetary nation into an intergalactic nation. The country began colonising the {{W|Andromeda Galaxy|Via Yekaterska}} galaxy, becoming the most powerful nation in the universe at the time.

However, Yekateria saw its most {{W|Militarism|militaristic}} era, resulting in the nuclear destruction of several nations, particularly [[Mexico (GeoRP)|Mexico]], [[Azeria]], and several other nations within the universe. Yekateria also saw increasing expansion in this era, establishing a near-hegemon status, and becoming even more powerful in the diplomatic sphere with the founding of the [[Universal Alliance of Nations (GeoRP)|UAN]], the first-ever international organisation which included a variety of nations with different ideologies.

[[Natalia Malenkova]] voluntarily stepped down in 2250, handing the reins of power to [[Vladimir Ponomarenko]], who continued Natalia's policy of militarisation. Following his death in 2255, [[Anastasia Bukharova]] took over, in which international tensions continued, culminating in the [[Second Great Universal War]]. Over 600 billion deaths resulted in the ensuing war, in which both Yekateria and the rest of the universe suffered heavy bombing and destruction. Yekateria's industrial capacity largely survived, from which a massive reconstruction effort began and the MEGRAPRO project continued in earnest.

Under [[Lyudmila Malenkova]], [[Feliks Aleksandrov]], and [[Kristina Malenkova]]'s leaderships, Yekaterian international relations normalised, with the country continuing its path of expansion and reconstruction in a relatively peaceful way. At the same time, Yekateria received aid from the international community following the collapse of the [[Yekaterian thalyssa]], and oversaw reforms to reduce its massive bureaucracy. At the same time, other parties were formally legalised as separate entities, allowing for the formation of the pro-reformist [[Front for Liberalism and Democracy]], and the right-wing [[New Great Yekateria Coalition]].

[[Natalia Malenkova]] returned to power as president in 2290, under the pseudonym "Aleksandra Ivanova". Her second stint in office saw new tensions between Yekateria and their former enemy of [[Kenalfer]], as well as increasing tensions with the [[UN (GeoRP)|UN]] over potential human rights' abuses in Yekateria. On the brink of war, Malenkova recognised the troubling potential of keeping Yekateria on the same trajectory, resigning following the 2295 elections for interim leader [[Daria Myshchenko]].

===== First Elisean presidency (2295–2297) =====
[[Elise Malenkova]] became president in 2295 following a [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|People's Solidarity Party]] leadership election. As president, Elise Malenkova began reforms towards the Federal Government, instituting new electoral reforms and laying the groundwork for the modern [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]]. In her first term as president, however, Yekateria would continue to see more of the same from the ruling party, which would eventually grow into dissent that led to the party's fall from power for the first time in 200 years.

Following the 2297 snap election, [[Antoni Ivanko]] was elected to power, ending 200 years of continuous Malenkovist rule.

===== Ivanko presidency and August 2300 coup (2297–2300) =====
[[Antoni Ivanko]] pushed for further reforms in earnest, gaining the support of the younger generations. Under his leadership, the country saw further increased levels of democratisation and liberalisation, eroding away at the Malenkovist grip which had held the country for almost 250 years. With support of the younger generations, the [[Reform! Freedom! Democracy! (Yekateria)|Reform! Freedom! Democracy!]] coalition gained a second term, although in a closely fought election with the newly ousted [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|People's Solidarity]].

However, the liberalist government was cut short following a coup in August 2300 coordinated by the [[Federal Armed Forces of Yekateria|Yekaterian Red Army]] and former president [[Elise Malenkova]], with the coup ultimately succeeding. [[Elise Malenkova]] returned to power and continued the Malenkovist version of reforms, ultimately trimming down the size of her government and increasing the power of the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Supreme Soviet]].

===== Second Elisean presidency and Era of Troubles (2300–late 2310s) =====
Yekateria would continue seeing Malenkovist-style reforms under the second presidency of [[Elise Malenkova]], with the Yekaterian government implementing further infrastructure and welfare programs to "bring Yekateria to a moral level above that of monarcho-fascist states". Yekateria would also begin seeing its first efforts to officially promote trade with the outside world and implementing financial stability, at the behest of Trade and Finance Minister [[Ryan Helsingborg]]. However, at the party's 34th Congress, then-party leader [[Elise Malenkova]] announced her sudden resignation, to the dismay of party members present at the meeting. Vice President and deputy leader [[Antonie Kovačova]] succeeded Malenkova as party leader and President, only to resign less than five years later as a result of the increasing discontent between the various factions of the party and a general breakdown of party discipline in the Supreme Soviet.

[[Adriéna Simkova]] was elected as president in the 2314 party election, facing down a resurgent nationalist movement in the form of the [[National Party]]. The Supreme Soviet also saw more chaos following the election of [[National Party for Reform]] politician [[Ivana Zakladna]] as the Speaker of the House of the State (now [[House of the Federals of Yekateria|House of the Federals]]). [[Aleksandr Kalynov]] of the [[National Party of Yekateria|National Party]] would be elected president by parliamentarians in September 2317 following infighting within the [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|People's Solidarity Party]]. He would be deposed by new People's Solidarity leader [[Ivan Honcharuk]] in September 2318.

However, infighting in the party would result in Honcharuk's resignation 8 months later. [[Antonie Kovačova]] would briefly return to the presidency but would be removed by the conservative Elisean–Elinean faction within a month. [[Eline Malenkova]] served as interim president between July 2319 and July 2320.

===== Andrean era (2320s–2340s) =====
[[Andrea de Rynsburger-Malenkova]], the daughter of [[Elise Malenkova]], was elected president in 2320 together with premier [[Lukas Petrauskas]]. Her leadership oversaw the conclusion of the MEGRAPRO project as well as the continued expansion of Yekateria, whilst also attempting to forge new alliances with former enemies and maintain Yekaterian hegemony over the main planets. de Rynsburger-Malenkova introduced new laws allowing for android citizenship, as well as vastly improved trade and connection between West Yekateria and East Yekateria. de Rynsburger-Malenkova also began formal relations with the nation of [[Neilreich]], setting the stage for the country's eventual accession to the Federation. At the same time, de Rynsburger-Malenkova also accepted the accession of [[Esbaltin]], splitting the country's new lands into the Republic of Esbaltica and the Republic of Belaelise, as constituent republics of the Federation.

De Rynsburger-Malenkova resigned following the failure of the [[GLORY Act (Yekateria)|GLORY Act]], pressured onto her by conservatives and the failure of the country to react to the coronavirus.
====Xanderean era (2340s–2381)====
[[File:PhilipAlexanderportrait2369improved.jpg|thumb|250x250px|[[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]], the ''de facto'' "paramount leader" of Yekateria between 2343 and 2381.]]Following the rise of [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]] to the presidency in 2343, Yekateria underwent reforms aimed at opening up the market and lessening government control and intervention in the economy. Under his first administration, the country adopted a completely new flag based on the historical Slavic tricolour and a new coat of arms. The first Xanderean presidential administration also implemented {{W|Decommunization|decommunization}} policies and sought to rehabilitate the country's status as a {{W|Pariah state|pariah state}} by heading towards neutrality.

Following the [[2345 Yekaterian general elections|2345 general elections]], de Rynsburger implemented a ''tandemocracy'' by switching places with then-Chancellor [[William Taylor]]. He would then serve as chancellor for the next 20 years, save for a 56-day period in 2356 where he was briefly deposed by [[Natalia Malenkova]]. He would later co-lead government with President [[William-Alexander de Rynsburger]].

Throughout his 38 years in power, de Rynsburger's political positions gradually shifted from a left-populist to that a neoliberal, slowly privatising Yekaterian state-owned companies and focusing on increased economic growth. He returned to the presidency in 2366 along with his husband and leftist-populist [[Ryan Hochhahn]], with a social welfare system facing decline. De Rynsburger stuck to his neoliberal positions, however, causing tensions between him and Hochhahn, eventually resulting in the election of right-wing [[Thomas-Anton Lindeman|Thomas Lindeman]] as chancellor following a backroom deal brokered between him and [[Thomas Aspen-Malenkov]].

Despite introducing further elements of democracy and lessening government control of the economy, de Rynsburger has been seen accused of an authoritarian style of government, frequently attacking opposition and starting wars against nations such as [[Majapahitian Empire|Majapahit]] and [[Azeria]]. He was succeeded by his son [[Lukas Hochburger]] in 2381.

==Geography==
Yekateria's mainland landmass stretches between the {{W|Bering Strait|Bering Strait}} in the east and the North Atlantic in the country's western reaches, covering all of Northernmost Asia and the heart of Europe. Yekateria lies between latitudes 40° and 82° N, and longitudes 59° E and 24° W, extending some 11,500 km (7,150 mi) east to west, and 5,400 km (3,350 mi) north to south. Yekateria, by landmass, is larger than two continents.

Yekateria has thirteen major mountain ranges, and they are found along the easternmost, westernmost and southernmost regions, which include the Altay and Sayan Mountains in Sybylla; and in the Malenkov Mountains and the {{W|Kamchatka Peninsula|Kolízácie Peninsula}} in the Yekaterian Far East (containing Idey Malenkovski, which at 4,750 m (15,584 ft) is the highest active volcano in Eurasia). The {{W|Ural Mountains|Kamepás Mountains}}, running north to south through the country's centre, are rich in mineral resources, and form the traditional boundary between Yevroze and Azea.

However, Yekateria's intergalactic outposts and interplanetary territory also provide the nation with a far variety of landscapes, giving it the nickname "The World in One Country".

===Climate===
As a result of Yekateria's massive landmass, the country's climate varies wildly between its extremes. However, a large majority of its mainland landmass on Yekaterska-Alpha are between the temperate and continental climate zones, ranging between ''Cfa'' in the Aquitainean Riviera, ''Cfb'' in Western [[Xandersko (YF)|Xandersko]], and ''Dfb'' in [[Velka Wiliamsburg]]. Western parts of the Federation experience more {{W|Oceanic climate|oceanic}} climes; with central parts experiencing {{W|Continental climates|continental}} climes, and eastern parts experiencing much more climates bordering on subartic. Heading northwards, the climate changes to that of {{W|Tundra climate|tundra}}.

The average temperature across the Federation varies widely too, from a typical winter temperature of −15 °C in Eastern Yekateria to that of 5-10 °C in Aquitaine. Average precipitation, meanwhile, ranged between 10 litres per square meter in January to 110 litres per square meter in July, measured in Central Yekateria. Average monthly hours of sunshine ranged between 32 hours in November 2380 to 342 hours in July 2380.
[[File:UralhillsYekateria.jpg|thumb|227x227px|The Marynska Hills in the {{W|Ural Mountains|Kamepás Mountains}}, one of Yekateria's numerous [[Lesopark (Yekateria)|''Lesoparks'']]]]

===Biodiversity===
Yekateria, owing to its massive landmass, sees a massive range of landscapes from its eastern end to its western end; it begins with the {{W|East Siberian taiga|East Sybyllan taiga}} in the [[Nataliska Oblast]], continues as such until the {{W|Ural Mountains|Kamepás Mountains}}, before gradually transitioning into plains and broadleaf forests heading westwards. Landscapes in Far East, Eastern, and Central Yekateria also includes {{W|polar desert}}s, {{W|tundra|tundra}}, forest tundra, {{W|taiga|taiga}}, {{W|Temperate broadleaf and mixed forests|mixed and broadleaf forest}}, {{W|forest steppe|forest steppe}}, {{W|steppe}}, semi-desert, and {{W|subtropics}}. Heading westwards, the terrain then changes into {{W|Central European mixed forests|Central Evroyan mixed forests}}, {{W|Baltic mixed forests|Baltian mixed forests}}, as well as {{W|Western European broadleaf forests|West Evroyan broadleaf forests}}, before transitioning into {{W|Atlantic mixed forests|Atlantican mixed forests}} heading into [[Aquitaine (YF)|Aquitaine]] and [[Estvanka (YF)|Estvanka]]. As of 2380, over 65% of Yekaterian land is forested, with 27% of land devoted to agriculture and forestry, with the remaining 8% being built-up land.

Yekateria is an {{w|Asymmetric federalism|asymmetric federal}} republic, with a {{w|Semi-presidential system|semi-presidential system}}, wherein the [[Federal President of Yekateria|president]] serves as the {{w|Head of state|head of state}} and the [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|chancellor]] as the {{w|Head of government|head of government}}. It is structured as a {{w|Multi-party system|multi-party}} {{w|Representative democracy|representative democracy}} with the Federal Government being composed of three branches;
*Legislative: The {{W|Bicameralism|bicameral}} [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria]], made up of the 455,515-member [[House of the Federals (Yekateria)|House of the Federals]] and the 176,905-member [[Federal Senate (Yekateria)|Federal Senate]], adopts {{W|Federal law|federal law}}, {{W|Declaration of war|declares war}}, approves treaties, has the {{W|Power of the purse|power of the purse}}, and the power of impeachment for the president and power of confidence for the chancellor.
* Executive: The president is the [[Supreme Commander-in-chief of Yekateria|commander-in-chief]] of the [[Federálvorusil|Armed Forces]], appoints members of the [[Federal Council (Yekateria)|Federal Council]] (cabinet) with the advice of the Chancellor, as well as appointing justices to the federal courts and other federal offices. The chancellor is {{W|De jure|de jure}} equal to the president in terms of power, with the explicit right to be consulted and provide advice to the appointments of the president, as well as conduct actions in their role as Co-Chairperson of the Federal Government and Chief Economic Officer.
*Judiciary: The [[Federal Supreme Court (Yekateria)|Federal Supreme Court]], the [[Federal Constitutional Forum (Yekateria)|Federal Constitutional Forum]], and similar lower courts on the federal level, interprets laws and can overturn laws they deem {{W|Constitutionality|unconstitutional}}. The justices of the Federal Supreme Court and the members of the Federal Constitutional Forum are appointed by the [[Federal President of Yekateria|federal president]] on the advice of the [[Federal Attorney-General of Yekateria|attorney-general]], subject to the consent of the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]].

The president, who is currently [[Karl Freitag]] since 2401, is elected by popular vote for a five-year term and may be elected for no more than three consecutive terms. In their role as head of state, chief diplomat, and commander-in-chief of the [[Federal Armed Forces of Yekateria|Federal Armed Forces]], the president holds key influence and legal power in decisions relating to foreign policy, defence policy, and national security policy. The chancellor is indirectly elected through elections to the lower [[House of the Federals (Yekateria)|House of the Federals]], with the country's {{W|Mixed-member proportional representation|mixed-member proportional representation}} system often awarding the most seats to the coalition with the most popular votes - the chancellor is also beholden to the confidence of the House, without which they are unable to pass laws. The chancellor is explicitly titled as the "primary economic manager" of the Federation, responsible for ensuring the execution and implementation of economic policies and programs.

[[Federal executive departments of the Yekaterian Federation|Departments of the government]] are comprised of the presidency, the chancellery, secretaries, and selected other individuals; the [[Federal Senate (Yekateria)|Federal Senate]] holds the power of {{W|Advice and consent|advice and consent}} for appointments to the departments. As a byproduct of the country's semi-presidential system, however, the responsibility for secretarial nominations in the fields of defence and security are the prerogative of the president, while the chancellor has more influence in nominating secretaries relating to the economy. Within the framework of the [[Federal Constitution of the Yekaterian Federation]], the secretaries are given administrative autonomy and regularly provide inputs towards the discussion and planning of new policies, a result of the country's emphasis on {{W|Collective leadership|collective leadership}} dating back to the communist era.

Yekaterian politics is dominated by the [[Asteranism|Asteranist]] [[Solidarity Party of Yekateria|Solidarity]] and [[Federalist Party of Yekateria|Federalist]] parties, both being seen as "big tent" parties with liberal and conservative tendencies respectively. Historically, the [[Malenkov Family]] has dominated politics, being described as a {{W|Political family|political family}} and as a hereditary dictatorship by critics. The largest non-Malenkovist parties are the [[Social Democrats of Yekateria|Social Democrats]] and [[The Greens (Yekateria)|The Greens]], led by [[Mark Winters]] and [[Moritz Waldmann]] respectively, who are presently in a coalition (along with the minor [[Liberal Forum (Yekateria)|Liberal Forum]]) with Solidarity.

===The Federal People's Assembly===
The Federálne Ľudovéche, or the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal People's Assembly]], forms the legislative branch of the Yekaterian Government and meets in the Palace of the Soviets in [[Nataliska]] Precinct 5 and the Palace of the Federation in [[Xanderholm]]'s Ryansky Okres.[[File:Federal Assembly Building.png|thumb|The Palace of the Federation in Xanderholm, along with nearby office towers for legislators.]]The current chairperson of the House of the Federals is [[Nicolaas Westerman]] ([[Solidarity Party of Yekateria|PSD]]). Meanwhile, the current chairperson of the Senate is Senator [[Zuzana Novomedská]] ([[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|PSD]]) with the overall chairperson of the Federálne Ľudovéche being [[Jonas Katterfeld]]. The Federálne Ľudovéche meets regularly to discuss new laws affecting the whole country with 632,420 (455,515 in the [[House of the Federals of Yekateria|House of the Federals]], 176,905 in the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]]) total representatives from all corners of the country.

The Federal Assembly currently consists of three factions; the majority Alliance for Liberal Democracy led by [[Julia Schöfauer-Andersen]] (PS) and [[Emelie Westermarck]] (SD), the minority Our Homeland - Yekateria led by [[Eleonora Ernman]] (PF) and [[Viktor Timoshenko]] (LP) , and the Free Coalition, consisting of parties not falling into one of the two major coalitions.

====Federal Assembly leadership====
The Federal Assembly is headed by the Federal Assembly Leadership Caucus, with [[Sam Odenberg]] serving as the leader and chair. It is comprised mainly of ruling [[Solidarity Party of Yekateria|Solidarity]] politicians, with the House of the Federals being represented by [[Nicolaas Westerman]] and the Federal Senate being represented by [[Martijn Schrievers]]. This is not to be confused with the floor leaders of the Federal Assembly, holding different leadership roles in running the bicameral Assembly's day-to-day operations.

===The Federal Court and Federal Constitutional Forum ===
[[File:Federal Quarter.png|thumb|The Federal Quarter in Xanderholm, home to the [[Federal Court of Yekateria|Federal Court]] (left), [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]] (right), and the Library of the Federal Assembly (center)|left]]The [[Federal Court of Yekateria|Federal Court]] and the [[Federal Constitutional Forum of Yekateria|Federal Constitutional Forum]] serves as the country's {{W|Supreme court|supreme court}} and {{W|Constitutional court|constitutional court}} respectively, dealing with matters with regards to the country's law and constitutional matters. Originally grouped under the Federal Court, the country's two judicial organs are responsible for verifying the constitutionality of laws and settling legal cases from lower appellate courts.

The two courts exercise similar procedures to that of supreme courts in common law jurisdictions, granting {{W|Certiorari|writs of certiorari}} on a case-by-case basis and whether the matter requires the {{W|Judicial review|judicial review}} of the Federal Court or the Federal Constitutional Forum. Out of hundreds of thousands of petitions each year, both courts only review a few hundred, largely due to the combined membership sizes of the courts being less than fifty.

=== Political subdivisions===
Yekateria is comprised of 42 republics, with each republic having its own President and a Chancellor who heads the Republican Government. Under the country's {{W|Asymmetric federalism|asymmetrical federalist}} model, each constituent republic has its own independent {{W|Government|government}} and {{W|Constitution|constitution}} in addition to the [[Federal Constitution of the Yekaterian Federation|Federal Constitution]] governing the entire Federation. All republics are designated using one of three terms; "Federal Republic", "United Federal Republic", and "Federated Federal Republic". Of the 42 constituent republics, [[Albaéire (Yekateria)|Albaéire]], [[Ivanskovia (Yekateria)|Ivanskovia]], and [[Chetyria (Yekateria)|Cetyrska]] hold the designation of "United Federal Republic", whilst the constituent republic of [[Yekateria (republic)|Yekateria]] is the only republic with the designation of "Federated Federal Republic".

The [[Federal republics of Yekateria|federal republics]] have mostly equal representation in the country's [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]], having 4395 seats each, with the constituent republic of Yekateria being the only one with 4895 seats due to its oversized influence and population over the rest. At present, there are planned reforms to introduce regional assemblies for groups of republics by region, in order to further decentralise decision-making from the fairly large [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly of the Yekaterian Federation]].

===Foreign relations===
Yekateria has historically been seen as a {{W|Great power|great power}} with regards to foreign relations, however it has been regarded as a {{W|Pariah state|pariah state}} for most of its history due to its aggressive foreign policy and perceived {{W|Ultranationalism|ultranationalist}} tendencies. Currently, it hosts no foreign embassies due to a self-imposed {{W|Isolationism|isolationism}} over the past decade – however at its peak, it maintained diplomatic relations with over 40 nations and organisations. Yekateria has been a founding member of the [[Asteran Union]], [[Evstotzkian Alliance]], [[Universal Alliance of Nations (GeoRP)|UAN]], and the [[Universatums-Inštitút]] and held significant influence in the [[Universal Council of Nations|UCN]], [[International Defense of Democracy Club|IDDC]], and the [[Little Nations]] organisations.

Yekateria maintains close relations with neighbouring countries such as [[Hallech]], which it has associated with for several decades and trades frequently with. In recent years, the country has also opened up relations with the [[Empire of Majapahit]], following a publicised apology by Vice Chancellor and Secretary of State [[Karl Freitag]] over the historical invasion of the nation.

Historically and recently, Yekateria has allegedly committed human rights' abuses against other nations, frequently resorting to the use of {{W|Nuclear weapons|nuclear bombs}} and committing {{W|Genocide|genocide}} against nations deemed as enemies to its ruling [[Malenkovism|Malenkovist]] ideology.

===Military===
[[File:Fighter jet taking off.jpg|thumb|A Yekaterian MVK-75 taking off.]]
The [[Federal Armed Forces of Yekateria]] are divided into the [[Yekaterian Federal Army|Federal Army]], [[Yekaterian Federal Navy|Federal Navy]], [[Yekaterian Federal Air Force|Federal Air Force]], [[Yekaterian Federal Space Fleet|Federal Space Fleet]], and the independent branches [[Yekaterian Federal Logistics and Support Service|Federal Logistics and Support Service]] and [[Yekaterian Federal Military Intelligence|Federal Military Intelligence]]. As of 2402, the military consists of 904 billion active-duty personnel, and between 430–450 billion {{W|Military reserve force|reserve personnel}}. All Yekaterians between the age of 18–25 are eligible for service in the Armed Forces, however this is voluntary and will only be activated in times of war.

Yekateria is recognised as being a {{W|Hyperpower|hyperpower}} in this regard, owning a sizeable amount of the most powerful superweapons capable of destroying several star systems at once. Yekateria is also a major leader in {{W|Special forces|special operations}}, having successfully performed {{W|Decapitation (military strategy)|decapitation strikes}} against terrorists and hostile governments alike. Yekateria maintains an exceedingly high military expenditure, spending $8.6 sextillion in 2402, corresponding to 4.2% of its GDP. The country also maintains a wholly indigenous defense industry, producing the entirety of its military equipment.

===Human rights===
Despite moves by the [[Federal Government of Yekateria|Federal Government]] to implement human rights laws and codifying them into the Federal Constitution, Yekateria has historically committed and presently commits human rights' abuses against groups it deems contrary to the ideals of its ruling Malenkovist parties, both [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity]] and [[Federalist Party (Yekateria)|Federalist]].
[[File:Church-demolition.png|thumb|Churches have been historically targeted for demolition in Yekateria, following the aftermath of the [[Great July Revolution]].]]
Having historically taken up an {{W|Antireligion|anti-religious}} stance under the old {{W|Marxism-Leninism|Marxist-Leninist-}}[[Malenkovism|Malenkovist]] regime, successive governments have actively pursued and promoted {{W|Religious persecution|religious persecution}} against believers of the country's traditional {{W|Eastern Orthodoxy|Eastern Orthodox}} churches, as well as other religions that historically existed within Yekateria's borders. As such, the country is largely atheist and irreligious due to historical campaigns of anti-religion persecutions and the country's ruling governments scaremongering against religious beliefs.

In certain regions and republics of the Federation, {{W|Racial discrimination|racial discrimination}} is passively enforced by local governments due to federal government inaction in enforcing the {{W|Civil and political rights|civil and political rights}} of minorities. For instance, the constituent republic of [[Witeshuis (Yekateria)|Witeshuis]] openly adopted and utilised an apartheid-like system of governance and society for over two decades; primary reasons for inaction include the Yekaterian federal government's unwillingness to actively intervene in the affairs of its republics, and the existence of {{W|Far-right politics|far-right parties}} such as the [[Greater Yekaterian Peoples' Party]] on the federal level.

Yekateria also historically exercised {{W|Censorship|censorship}} against material, groups, individuals, and organisations deemed to be a threat to its unofficial ideology – for instance, Yekaterian internet regulator [[Federágesvyaz]] occasionally conducted intentional {{W|Internet outage|internet shutdowns}} in response to online publications of material that may pose an embarrassment or threat to the ruling government, shutting down access to the information by Yekaterian citizens.

In spite of the human rights' shortcomings in Yekateria, the country sees excellent rights for the LGBTQ+ community and labour rights, with the Federal Constitution and the Federal Charter of Citizens' Rights including protections for human rights and human dignity. In an effort to reconcile with the nation's past, the Yekaterian [[Federal Government of Yekateria|Federal Government]] recently recognised the abuses committed against the [[Yekaterian Foresters]], a marginalised group of descendants of dissidents forced out of society and has begun efforts to rehabilitate them.

===Law and crime===
{{Main|Law in Yekateria|Crime in Yekateria}}
The primary and fundamental law in Yekateria is the [[Federal Constitution of Yekateria|Federal Constitution of the Yekaterian Federation]]. Statutes, like the [[Federal Code of Yekateria|Federal Code]] and the [[Regulatory Code of the Yekaterian Federation]] are the prominent legal sources of Yekaterian law.

Yekateria enjoys one of the safest societies in the universe, with low crime rates. However, {{W|White-collar crime|white-collar crime}} is more prevalent in this case, largely due to the country's convoluted tax system and lack of corporate accountability practices.

==Economy==
[[File:Robotic factory manufacturing.jpg|thumb|225x225px|Robotics-led manufacturing in a Yekaterian factory. The robotics sector is extremely well-developed within the country.]]
Yekateria has a {{W|Developed country|developed}}, {{W|World Bank high-income economy|high-income}} {{W|Trading nation|export-oriented}} {{W|Social market economy|social market economy}} based in services, manufacturing and innovation, that largely maintains a {{W|Welfare state|welfare state}} under the context of Malenkovism. Yekateria holds the largest individual economy based on nominal GDP and {{W|Purchasing power parity|PPP}}, at $205 sextillion. The country's economy is largely made up of the {{W|Tertiary sector of the economy|service sector}}, accounting for 56% of total GDP, while the {{W|Industrial sector|industrial sector}} accounts for 39% of GDP, while {{W|Primary sector of the economy|agriculture and resource extraction}} comprises 5% of the economy. Yekateria has an {{W|Unemployment|unemployment rate}} of 1.6%, having rebounded from the most recent high of 9.6% in the [[2374-2376 Yekaterian economic recession]]. Despite its large {{W|Foreign exchange reserves|foreign exchange reserves}} size of $72.4 quintillion, the Yekaterian government is in the process of creating new efforts to implement the [[Yekaterian koruna]] as the universe's new {{W|Reserve currency|reserve currency}}.
[[File:Verona Zlatamramora.png|thumb|225x225px|[[Verona (Yekateria)|Verona]] Zlata-Mramora MrEl4]]
In 2380 the largest companies by revenue in Yekateria include: the mega conglomerate [[Malenkov Group]], scientific research and engineering company [[Zelenovo Group]], software company [[Zelycko Corporation|Zelycko]], defense manufacturing company [[Perunska]], real estate and finance company [[Samco Group|Samco]], and spacecraft company [[Kosmona Dynamics]]. {{W|Public company|Public companies}} in Yekateria, a holdover from the communist era, are rather common; the [[Yekaterian Group]] is one such partially state-owned enterprise holding a market share in crucial sectors such as passenger rail transport through [[Yekaterské Železnice]] (YŽ), the country's largest passenger rail operator.

As a result of the country's rather isolated history, {{W|Research and development|research and development}} efforts are seen as key to the Yekaterian economy's success and constant growth. The largest government-supported academically independent scientific body in the universe, the [[Federálnauka]], hosts over 2 million research institutes working under its wing. Other research institutions include the [[Kolesov Social Sciences Institute]], [[Mateveda Association]], and the [[Tesarov Society]]. Yekateria is also a founding member of the [[Universatums-Inštitút]], the first universal research and cooperative organisation dedicated to improving the conditions for all inhabitants of the universe.

===Science and technology===
{{Main|Science and technology in Yekateria}}
Being one of the most advanced societies in the universe, with a position on the {{W|Kardashev scale|Kardashev scale}} somewhere between a Type III and Type IV civilisation, Yekateria is home to a large host of futuristic technologies wielding massive potential. As a byproduct of the Malenkovist movement's embrace of {{W|Transhumanism|transhumanism}}, the country is home to marvels such as the [[Knowledge Repository]], one of the largest multimedia multi-format {{W|Library|libraries}} in the universe, and the [[Genepro (Yekateria)|Genepro]], a highly affordable {{W|Human genetic enhancement|human genetic enhancement}} treatment available to the average citizen.

Notable Yekaterian scientific and tech innovations include the first widely known feasible {{W|Solar sail|solar sail-powered}} spacecraft, the first mass extraction of resources from interplanetary extraction, interspace transmission of power through stationary power-repeating orbiters, as well as one of the first nations to harness the power of {{W|Dyson sphere|Dyson spheres}} and compound-based phase-changing space shields and defenses. Yekaterian scientist [[Radoslav Tesarov]] was also widely credited with the creation of the [[Rebtech]] technology, a space exploration advancement that allowed for the easy modular detachment and reattachment of spacecraft and spaceship sections in interstellar space, proving highly valuable in Yekateria's expansion and exploration in space.

===Infrastructure===
{{Main|Transport in Yekateria|Energy in Yekateria}}
[[File:Yekaterian trains.jpg|thumb|A Yekaterian [[Alstev]] CE-SRV Class 445 train running on the Eastern Circular Railway]]
With its large corridors of flat terrain flanked by gentle hills and mountains, roads and train transport are a fairly common method of land transportation across the vast Yekaterian nation. The Yekaterian highway system, the [[Autodiaľnica]], has no mandated {{W|Speed limit|speed limits}} for certain classes of vehicles outside of towns and cities. Meanwhile, Yekaterian passenger rail transportation is highly dominated by the operator [[Yekaterské Železnice]] (YŽ), although smaller lines are run by [[Železničné Trate]] (ŽT), and third-party rail operators such as [[Severnice (rail operator)|Severnice]] exist. The [[Intercity Railway (Yekateria)|Intercity Railway]] (M-YŽ) is the largest {{W|High-speed rail|high-speed rail}} service of its kind, serving major Yekaterian cities as well as neighbouring nations such as [[Hallech]] and [[Neilreich]], with speeds of up to 650 km/h (403 mph). The largest Yekaterian airports are the [[Ryan Lukas Hochhahn International Aeroport]] and the [[Philip-Alexander International Aeroport]] in the major cities of [[Nataliska]] and [[Xanderholm]] respectively.

Yekateria is the largest consumer of energy in the entire universe, due to its massive size spanning several galaxies. The country's energy generation mix is quite diverse, including {{W|Dyson sphere|Dyson spheres}}, {{W|Fusion power|fusion power}}, {{W|Hydropower|hydropower}}, {{W|Solar panel|solar power}}, {{W|Wind power|wind power}}, and {{W|Geothermal energy|geothermal power}}. The latter five are largely enough to meet the energy needs of Yekateria's civilian population, whilst Dyson spheres are primarily used to generate power for the nation's massive manufacturing base. The Yekaterian government has historically committed and currently commits to supporting biodiversity, low emission standards, and {{W|Water management|water management}} through government policies, and the country has been known to have high rates of recycling with over 80% recycling rates per year.

===Tourism===
[[File:Xanderholm with Riverwheel.png|thumb|267x267px|The [[Riverwheel]] in [[Xanderholm]]]]
{{Main|Tourism in Yekateria}}
Despite historically receiving a measly few million visitors per year, Yekateria has recently embarked on a process of opening up tourism to other nations and expanding the number of available tourist destinations available to foreigners. However, domestic tourism is a massive contributor to the Yekaterian economy, resulting in over 740 quadrillion Korunas to the Yekaterian economy. Including induced and indirect impacts, the tourism industry supports over 20 billion jobs.

Yekateria's most visited and popular landmarks include the [[Ruined Castle of Xanderholm]], the [[Palace of the Revolution]], the old [[Kremlyna Palace]], the [[Great Pauli Hall]], the [[Chernomore Coast]], the {{W|French Riviera|Aquitainean Riviera}}, and the various ski resorts of the {{W|Carpathian Mountains|Karpatya}} Mountains. The [[YekaPark]] network of entertainment parks is one of the largest park franchises in the entire universe.

==Demographics==
{{Main|Demographics of Yekateria|Yekaterians}}
With a population of 23.78 trillion according to the [[2400 Yekaterian census]], and increasing to 24.75 trillion as of 2383, Yekateria is the most populous country in the Alpha system and the second-most populous in the universe after the [[United Empire]]. Its population density stands at 0.000000000000023167985 inhabitants per square kilometre based on its total area, largely due to its intergalactic nature and the concentration of its population in several core systems. The total fertility rate currently stands at 3.7 children born per parent, with the population expected to grow in later years in light of several government incentives.

As a result of the country having transitioned from a unitary state to a federation, several people groups are classed as national minorities due to their historical proximity and connections with Yekateria. For instance, the [[Carsiphians]] are a Turkic ethnic group residing within the inner territories of the constituent republic of Yekateria, the [[Semlani]] in Western Xandersko, the [[Khazaqs]] in Malensia, and the [[Sēmē (ethnicity)|Sēmē]] in Northern Kalysia.

Yekateria contains over 67 urban conurbations such as the [[Yevanska-Yekaterania metro area]] and contains many large metropolises within its borders. The country's largest city is [[Xanderholm]], while the largest urban area is the [[Preszov Bay]] metropolitan region.
{{Largest cities of Yekateria}}

===Language===
{{Main|Yekaterian language|Languages of Yekateria}}
Yekaterian is the official and predominant spoken language in Yekateria. With over 18 trillion native speakers, it is one of the most commonly spoken languages in the universe and is an official language of diplomacy, together with {{W|English language|English}}.

As a multi-ethnic federation, however, several other languages are recognised as co-official; namely [[Neilan language|Neilan]], [[Malensch Germarian]], and [[Kalysk language|Kalysk]]. Other recognised minority languages include {{W|French}}, {{W|English}}, [[Alban Gaelic]], [[Vallachian language|Vallachian]], and [[Staryslava]]. Yekaterians are typically multilingual: 93% of Yekaterian citizens claim to communicate in at least one foreign language and 62% in at least two.

===Education===
{{Main|Education in Yekateria}}
[[File:Yekaterania State University.jpg|alt=Main university administration building of Yekaterania State University.|thumb|225x225px|[[Yekaterania State University]], the oldest modern university in the country (established 1845)]]
The educational system within Yekateria begins with {{W|Kindergarten|kindergarten}} between the ages of 1–5 years old, followed by 12 years of primary and secondary education. Secondary education is divided into lower and upper secondary education, with the latter being divided into tracks based on {{W|Vocational education|vocational}} or {{W|College-preparatory school|academic}} fields, leading into the ''Všekval'' examinations at the age of 18. As part of pre-''Všekval'' preparations, students going through the {{W|Vocational education|vocational track}} are also provided apprenticeship opportunities, whilst students undergoing the {{W|College-preparatory school|academic track}} are instead holistically assessed based on factors such as extra-curricular activities and weighted-average academic grades.

Educational responsibility is divided between the [[Federal Government of Yekateria|Federal Government]] and the individual [[Constituent republics of Yekateria|republic]], with the curriculum varying based on local needs and resources, with the [[Yekaterian Federal Department of Education|Federal Department of Education]] setting federal standards for the academic curriculum and testing. Schools are primarily funded from a mix of public and private funding, as is the case for public universities such as [[Yekaterania State University]], the [[Federal State Colleges Union]], and the [[University of Filipsburg-Xanderholm]], among others. In terms of school facilities and benefits, meanwhile, {{W|School meal|school lunch}} is provided through a small monthly fee paid for by the student's parents or guardians with subsidies in place for lower-income students.

Statistically, over 96% of Yekaterian people held a {{W|Tertiary education|tertiary degree}} as of 2386, making the country among the top three in the universe in that category. Historically, education was completely free – however this benefit was rescinded following the country's economic liberalisation. With recent reforms aimed at improving societal welfare, though, tuition subsidies have recently been increased.

===Health===
{{Main|Healthcare in Yekateria}}
[[File:Nataliska North City Hospital.jpg|alt=Aerial view of Nataliska North City Hospital|thumb|225x225px|Nataliska North City Hospital, one of the largest hospitals in the country built in the 2200s.]]
Healthcare in Yekateria is funded by a mix of public and private funding, with {{W|Primary care|primary}} and {{W|Secondary care|secondary}} care being heavily subsidised resulting in more needful Yekaterian citizens having completely free healthcare, and those with higher incomes paying a small {{W|Copayment|copayment}} for the use of primary and secondary public and private healthcare services. Historically, Yekaterian healthcare was highly centralised with {{W|Universal health care|universal healthcare}} being the norm; however following the [[2340s Yekaterian coronavirus pandemic|2340s coronavirus pandemic]], healthcare has been highly decentralised with private healthcare providers being as common as public counterparts.

In recent decades, {{W|Health equity|healthcare access}} was a major issue due to high upfront costs for accessing healthcare services, with instances of suicide arising from health-related debt. As such, public healthcare services have been on the rise, prioritised by recent governments.

Public healthcare is overseen by the co-equal health agencies [[Federal Healthcare Institute of Yekateria|Federal Healthcare Institute]] and the [[Federal Healthcare Alliance of Yekateria|Federal Healthcare Alliance]], with overall public healthcare policy being overseen by the [[Yekaterian Federal Department of Health|Federal Department of Health]]. Despite such challenges, the quality of healthcare overall in Yekateria remains high, with the country boasting low infant mortality rates and high life expectancy. Healthcare spending accounted for around 5% of GDP in recent years, reflecting the government’s commitment to improving access and quality of care.

==Culture==
{{Main|Culture of Yekateria}}Historically known for its {{W|Social conservatism|socially conservative}} and {{W|Socialist economics|economically socialist}} outlook, reforms undertaken by leaders such as [[Natalia Malenkova]] and [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]] brought Yekateria towards more {{W|Ordoliberalism|ordoliberal}} economic principles. Such reforms brought a rise in advocacy for more {{W|Progressivism|progressive}} causes, bringing Yekateria into the forefront of universal progress. While topics such as [[Religion in Yekateria|religion]] are seen as taboo due to its perceived backwardness, other topics, such as {{W|Human sexuality|sexuality}} are widely respected and upheld. Yekateria widely recognises {{W|Domestic partnership|domestic partnerships}} irregardless of orientation, with cohabitation and bigamous relationships being not too uncommon.

Yekateria is also a universal leader in [[Timeline of Yekaterian innovations|scientific and technological innovation]], [[Sport in Yekateria|sport]], [[List of Yekaterian musicians|classical and modernist music]], as well as in the operatic scene, among others. With its long and storied history, the country is also home to hundreds of [[List of historical landmarks in Yekateria|historical landmarks]] ranging from culturally significant locations to exquisite natural sites. The [[Sybyllan eagle]], a native species of {{W|Eagle|eagle}}, is the country's national symbol and features on the country's [[Coat of arms of Yekateria|coat of arms]] throughout history. Originally used derisively, the term "Yekky" is a popular word used to refer to [[Yekaterian people|Yekaterians]] and things from Yekateria, often by foreigners.

===Holidays ===
{{Main|National holidays of Yekateria}}
[[File:Fireworks in Tyshenkovo.jpg|left|thumb|267x267px|[[Yekateria Day]] fireworks in Yekateria]]
Yekateria celebrates numerous unique {{W|Holiday|holidays}}, largely based on those of old European tradition. For instance, the [[May Day of Labour]], held on the first of May, is largely dedicated to celebrating the start of summer, along with its socialist connotations as a day commemorating the {{W|Labour movement|labour movement}}. Another such holiday was influenced by the [[Great July Revolution of Yekateria|Great July Revolution]], that being the ''Day of Gift-giving'', also known as [[Rozdarce]], being a secular alternative to {{W|Christmas|Christmas}}.

11 July is the [[Yekateria Day|National Day of Yekateria]], held to commemorate the [[Great July Revolution of Yekateria|Great July Revolution]] in 2048, and the victory of the nascent Malenkovist revolutionaries exactly two years later. The day is also celebrated in the form of a [[Great July Revolution Parade]], involving a [[Federálvorusil|military]], civilian, and youth element. A similarly celebrated holiday is that of [[Yekaterian Unity Day|Unity Day]], marking the formation of the modern Yekateria and the signing of the [[Federation Treaty of the Yekaterian Federation|Federation Treaty]] on 1 January, in 1901 and 2235 respectively. Other nationally celebrated holidays include that of {{W|International Women's Day}} on 8 March, [[Defender of the Homeland Day]] on 2 August, and the [[Day of Equality]] on 24 September.

In addition to national holidays, each of Yekateria's [[Constituent republics of Yekateria|41 constituent republics]] celebrates its own [[Republic Day (Yekateria)|Republic Day]], commemorating the republic's accession to the Federation. Each republic also celebrates its own ethnic holidays based on its local demographics.

===Art and architecture===
{{Main|Architecture of Yekateria|Yekaterian artists}}
[[File:Central Xanderholm Skyscrapers.png|thumb|267x267px|[[Xanderholm Central Train Station]], one of the largest free-standing roof structures in the country.]]Yekaterian art was historically influenced by the numerous cultures and ethnicities living within and ruling over its borders, beginning with [[Kingdom of Saryuhrad|Saryuhradan]] {{W|Icon|icons}} and {{W|Fresco|frescos}} following the Christianisation of Yekateria in the early 1000s to the modern futuro-realism styles of the 24th century. Following the [[Carsiphian Wars of Conquest]] in the 1270s, {{W|Anatolian rug|Carsiphian rug}} and tapestries became commonplace, with rug-makers spreading outwards from the Carsiphian capital of [[Carsiphisk']]. Following the [[Saryuhradan War of Restoration]], original Saryuhradan art was readapted following laws by the newly prevailing [[Kremsvol' dynasty]].

The country saw the opening of its first art academy, the [[Yekaterian Federal Academy of the Arts]] in an effort to bring about a new age of artistic creations, with notable graduates being [[Abram Kaverin]], [[Leonid Prokhorov]], and [[Timofey Bogolyubov]]. Romanticist paintings were largely popular for the early Saryugradan era, with [[Alexander Zhuravlev]] being one such notable painter. However, in response to academic restrictions in the late 19th–early 20th century, a movement of {{W|Realism (arts)|realist}} painters, led by artists such as [[Vadim Znamensky]], [[Artem Kholodny]], and [[Emilian Trofimov]]. Art in the style of socialist realism became popular following the [[1912 Revolution (Yekateria)|1912 Revolution]], brought on by the Communists' desire to purge the country of what was then seen as "decadent" and "bourgeois" art.

The [[architecture of Yekateria]] began as woodcraft buildings built by the [[Duchy of Saryuhrad]] and its predecessor feudal kingdoms before the 12th century, with architecture from the Christianisation of Yekateria largely being influenced by wooden churches being built across the cold climes of Sybylla, similarly to their eventual compatriots in [[Malensia (YF)|Malensia]] and [[Kalysia (YF)|Kalysia]]. After the [[Carsiphian Wars of Conquest]], however, architecture was largely influenced by Carsipho-Turanic architecture. Notable Carsipho-Saryuhradan architects of the time include [[Talgat Akhmetov]] and [[Farid Khasanov]]. Following the Saryuhradan Revival and the [[Saryuhradan National Revolution]], however, the country saw a neoclassical revival movement influenced by the northern kingdoms which escaped Carsiphian takeover. Over the 20th century, prominent styles included {{W|Art Noveau|Art Noveau}} and {{W|Constructivism (art)|Constructivism}}, with {{W|Stalinist architecture|Socialist Classicism}}. Following the [[Yekaterian Civil War (2048-2050)|Yekaterian Civil War]], [[Socialist Revival]] was a prominent style going into the 22nd century.

===Literature and philosophy===
{{Main|Yekaterian literature|Yekaterian philosophy|Yekaterian philosophers}}
[[File:Anna Shevchenko portrait.jpg|thumb|250x250px|[[Anna Shevchenko]] (2320–2383), internationally renowned dissident and writer.]]
[[Yekaterian literature]] is widely regarded as one of the most influential in the universe, with earliest origins being that of epics and chronicles composed in [[Old Saryuhradan]]. Throughout the period of the [[Carsiphian Empire]], however, literature was largely published by the Carsiphian elite; with the Saryuhradan Revival of the early 1800s galvanising Saryuhradan writers across the country into distributing their works en masse. With the optimism brought on by the Revival, writers and poets such as [[Arkady Kolychev]], [[Yaroslav Dolgorukov]], [[Vadim Strakhov]], and [[Daniil Baranov]].

Entering into the later years of the 19th century and the 20th century, short stories and novels became the norm within the Yekaterian literary scene, with writers such as [[Oleg Rodionov]], [[Irina Kovalchuk]], [[Roman Drozdenko]], and [[Yakov Muranov]] coming to the fore. Over the following century and a half, rapid changes within Yekaterian society and governance resorted in the mass popularity of non-fiction literature highlighting social issues of the day, with writers such as [[Svetlana Rozhkova]] gaining fame for her literary works critical of the ultranationalist movement of the late 1990s and early 2000s, resulting in her politically motivated prosecution. Today, such works highlighting the shortcomings of Yekaterian society are still widely popular; with [[Anna Shevchenko]], a notable political dissident and non-fiction writer, becoming internationally renowned for her fight for transparent governance.

[[Yekaterian philosophy]] has been universally influential. [[Grigory Tarkovsky]] is known as one of the fathers of the Yekaterian agrarian socialist movement, whose ideas were later adopted by revolutionary [[Vladimir Lenislav]] into the era known as [[First Communist Yekateria]]. [[Vera Sorokina]], a close protege of Dyleson-Kremsvolian era prime minister [[Artur Kolesov]], has been regarded as the earliest advocate for {{W|Direct democracy|direct democracy}} within the then-largely parliamentary government. [[Petrov Zamarkyov]] and [[Peter Malenkov]] are widely regarded as fathers of [[Malenkovism]], initially a variant of communism, later developing into its own ideology. [[Mikaela Andersen]], the longest serving [[Yekaterian Federal Department of State|Federal Secretary of State]] in the 24th century, has been regarded as the "torchbearer of regime change".

===Cuisine===
{{Main|Yekaterian cuisine}}
[[File:Pelmeni Dish in Yekateria.jpeg|left|thumb|225x225px|{{W|Pelmeni|Pelmeni}}, a dish originating from the Sybyllan region.]][[Yekaterian cuisine]] has long relied on the country's climate, cultural traditions, and the vast geography of the country; it has a wide range of dishes changing based on the local geography and landscape. Drawing inspiration from Slavic, Nordic, and Germanic roots, Yekaterian cuisine is an amalgamation of hearty, rustic flavors and refined culinary techniques. The diverse climate of Yekateria, ranging from cold northern regions to more temperate southern and western areas, influences the ingredients and cooking methods used in different parts of the country.

In north-eastern regions of Yekateria, the cuisine is characterised by robust and warming dishes, designed to combat the harsh winters. Root vegetables such as {{W|Potato|potatoes}}, {{W|Carrot|carrots}}, and {{W|Beetroot|beets}}, along with cabbages and mushrooms, form the backbone of many meals. Traditional dishes like {{W|Borscht|borscht}}, a beet soup enriched with sour cream, and {{W|Pelmeni|pelmeni}}, delicate meat-filled dumplings, are staples. Fish, particularly from the abundant rivers and lakes, is often smoked or pickled, offering a smoky and tangy profile that complements the flavors of the vegetables.

Moving to the central and southern regions, the cuisine becomes more varied and incorporates a wider range of produce due to the more temperate climate. Fresh herbs, tomatoes, cucumbers, and a variety of fruits become more prominent. Dishes such as {{W|Shashlik|shashlik}}, marinated and grilled skewers of meat, and {{W|Blini|blini}}, thin pancakes often filled with savory or sweet ingredients, are popular. The influence of neighboring countries is evident in the use of dairy products like cheese and cream, enriching many traditional recipes.

Cultural traditions also play a significant role in Yekaterian cuisine, with many dishes being prepared for specific holidays and celebrations. {{W|Bread|Bread}}, considered a symbol of hospitality, is often served with every meal, ranging from simple rye loaves to intricate pastries. Festivals and family gatherings feature elaborate feasts with dishes that have been passed down through generations, preserving the rich culinary heritage of Yekateria. The combination of regional ingredients, cultural traditions, and historical influences are a vibrant and integral part of the country's identity.

===Media===
{{Main|Media of Yekateria|Cinema of Yekateria}}
[[File:Yekaterian Radiotelevision News Building.png|thumb|267x267px|Headquarters of [[Yekaterská Rádiotelevízia]] in Xanderholm]]Yekaterians are wide consumers of more traditional forms of media, such as the {{W|Newspaper|newspaper}} and {{W|News broadcasting|news broadcasts}}, with both forms of media being the historical norm of information communication within the country and between the ruling government of the day and the people. The country's four largest newspapers are ''[[Federálny Expres]]'' (liberal conservative), ''[[Natsiya Segodnya]]'' (liberal), ''[[Yekaterský Kuriér]]'' (conservative), and ''[[Moderná Federácia]]'' (social democratic). Besides the national language of [[Yekaterian language|Yekaterian]], the major newspapers also publish in the nation's other recognised languages such as [[Neilan language|Neilan]], [[Malensch Germarian]], and [[Kalysk language|Kalysk]].

The country's public broadcasting landscape is dominated by [[Yekaterská Rádiotelevízia]] and [[Telerádio Yekaterská]], in operation since 1943 and 2210 respectively. The former has been a mainstay of the national media landscape, whilst the latter evolved from local public {{W|Television station|television stations}} amalgamated in a national cooperative since the early 23rd century.

{{W|Commercial broadcasting|Commercial radio and television broadcasting}} began to flourish following small reforms in the 2180s and further reforms in the 2260s, with the first commercial television network being that of [[Televízia Zelenovo]] (ZTV) under the state-owned corporation [[Zelenovo Group]], followed by individual private companies such as [[Národná Televízia]] (NTV) and [[Malenkovske Rozhlasový Systém]] (MRS).

The entire country is fully connected to cable television, largely due to previous incentives by the Yekaterian government.

===Sports===
{{Main|Sport in Yekateria}}{{W|Basketball|Basketball}} is a largely popular sport in Yekateria, with the [[National Basketball League of Yekateria|National Basketball League]] being the most-watched professional sporting league in the country as well as other nations within the universe. Within the League, the [[SSN Nataliska Bears|SSN KM "Nataliska Bears"]] has been a longtime champion, holding the championship title continuously between 2302 and 2310. Affiliated leagues include the [[National High School Basketball League]], with notable former players for the league including former chancellor [[Jonas Katterfeld]].

{{W|Ice hockey|Ice hockey}}, {{W|Bandy|bandy}}, and {{W|Football|football}} ranks roughly equally behind basketball as the second-most popular sports in Yekateria, with their respective leagues pulling hundreds of billions of spectators in their annual seasons. For instance, the [[Yekaterian national hockey team]] has frequently won in friendly matches against other countries. In recent years, motorsports have seen an increased interest within the country.

'''Yekateria''' ([[Yekaterian]]: Yekaterská''',''' [''/ɛkaterskä/'']), officially the '''Yekaterská Federation'''{{efn|Yekaterská Federaciá, [/''ɛkaterskä fˌɛdəɹˌe͡ɪsɪˈɑ''/]}}, is an intergalactic federation located on the habitable planets [[Zemea]] in the {{W|Milky Way|Domápevnosť}} galaxy and [[Yekaterská-Beta]] in the {{W|Andromeda Galaxy|Via Yekaterska}} galaxy respectively, with a scattered presence in neighbouring galaxies. The federation is divided into 42 interplanetary republics and numerous federal territories, of which [[Xanderholm]] serves as the main capital and largest city. [[Nataliska]] and [[Preszov]] serve as secondary capitals, with other major urban areas being [[Yevanska]], [[Filipsburg]], and [[Fredosstad]]. As of 2400, it also asserts sovereignty over 22 star-system territories and various outpost planets reserved for non-civilian uses. The nation is also geographically and {{W|Megadiverse country|highly ecologically diverse}}, with the universe's largest territorial expanse and second-largest population, exceeding 24 trillion.

The semi-legendary [[Yulasenia culture]] existed within the core territory of what is now Yekateria, and formed various tribal confederations. In the year 769, various Saryuhradan tribes united to form the first proto-Yekaterian kingdom under the rule of Sviatoslav I, and adopted {{w|Eastern Orthodox Church|Orthodox Christianity}} in the year 1072 under the rule of Vladislav I. A brutal war between the [[Kingdom of Saryuhrad]] and the neighbouring Turkic [[Carsiphian Sultanate]] in the 13th century resulted in the Saryuhradan kingdom falling under Carsiphian suzerainty. Over the next few centuries, the Donskovite ducal family gained prominence within the former kingdom, quietly growing through trade and cordial relations with other free kingdoms such as the [[Kingdom of Vladimir]], eventually regaining independence in the [[Saryuhradan War of Independence]] in 1824. The nascent Grand Duchy of Saryuhrad then united in a personal union with the Kingdom of Vladimir, with [[Albert II Kremlyna]] as its tsar.

The 1901 personal union between the Kingdom of Vladimir-Saryuhrad and the Nordic [[Kingdom of Kalysia]] formed the Kingdom of Vladimir-Saryuhrad-Kalysia, necessitating the birth of the modern name Yekateria as a new name for the polity, with the name honouring [[Yekaterina II of Vladimir]], a 15th century ruler related to the constituent royal families of the new nation-state. However, the new kingdom's existence was cut short by the [[Yekaterian Revolution of 1911|Revolution of 1911]], abolishing the monarchy in place of a socialist state led by [[Vladimir Lenislav]] and eventually [[Mikhail Ilyanov]]. The regime lasted nearly three decades, after which a guerilla force led by [[Shane Dyleson]] in the heat of the [[Second Intercontinental War]] overthrew the government and established a new monarchical system. Following further decades of instability and autocratic rule in the early 21st century, the [[Malenkov Family]] rose to power as Yekateria's ruling family in 2050, ushering in a socialistic [[Malenkovism|Malenkovist]] era before ultimately implementing free-market and democratic reforms in the late 23rd and early 24th centuries. Regardless of reforms undertaken to improve political plurality, the Malenkovist movement maintains a strong presence, particularly through the [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity Party]].

In recent decades, reforms ensured that the constitution oversaw the [[Federal Government of Yekateria|Yekaterian government]]'s full embrace of the {{W|Semi-presidential republic|semi-presidential}} republic and principles of {{W|Liberal democracy|liberal democracy}} with proper separation of powers into the [[Federal executive departments of the Yekaterian Federation|executive]], legislative, and [[Federal judiciary of Yekateria|judicial]] branches. The [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria]], the national legislature, is composed of the lower [[House of the Federals of Yekateria|House of the Federals]] (based on population) and the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]] (representing each constituent republic). Since the 2350s, the [[Asteran-Liberal Democratic Alliance]] and the [[Our Homeland - Yekateria]] coalitions have dominated [[Politics of the Yekaterian Federation|Yekaterian politics]].

Internationally, the Yekaterian economy is ranked one of the highest in its universe and an average high standard of living, with GDP per capita exceeding $8 billion. The country also possesses a large abundance of natural and human resources, owing to its diverse landscape and large population. Yekateria possesses a massive nuclear arsenal and spends the most on military expenditures, at $8.6 sextillion. The country has been a founding member of the [[Asteran Union]], [[Evstotzkian Alliance]], [[GeoRP Universal Alliance of Nations|Universal Alliance of Nations]], and a member of the [[Little Nations]] organisations. Culturally, Yekateria is reputable for its city-wide parties held on special occasions as well as its burgeoning music scene. The country is the birthplace to celebrities such as renowned artist [[Katya Pavlova]] and popular pop group [[The Skies]], having had a strong influence on universal culture overall. As a byproduct of its wealth, Yekateria is also home to many ski resorts and marinas, as well as historical landmarks, palaces, and countryside mansions.

==Etymology==
The name ''Yekateria'' comes from a corrupted form of the {{W|Russian language|Russian}} Ekaterina ({{W|Cyrillic script|Cyrillic}}: Екатерина), being named after Catherine II of Vladimir, a former ruler of the Kingdom of Vladimir. Before this however the name of the state was named Vladimir-Saryuhrad, a personal union of the Kingdom of Vladimir and the Grand Duchy of Saryuhrad. The present name was adopted on 15 March 1901, months after the formation of the union of Vladimir-Saryuhrad-Kalysia after complaints on the unwieldy {{W|List of double placenames#Triple placenames|triple-barrelled}} name of the three unified states. The country was also listed on maps as [[New Sealand]] prior to the 1950s and used the name as an exonym prior to the Royal Endonym Decree of 1953.

In Yekaterian, the country is named ''Yekaterská''{{efn|De jure.}}, a direct transliteration of its former Yekaterian name ''Yekateriya'' ({{W|Cyrillic script|Cyrillic}}: Екатерия). In spoken language, however, it is referred to as ''Yekatersko'', mainly in use to refer to the nation of Yekateria as well as the [[Yekateria (republic)|constituent republic within the Federation]]. There are two words in Yekaterian which translate to "Yekaterians" in the English language - ''yekatersky''{{Efn|Usage: ''Yekatersky jazyk''}}, referring to those of the Yekaterian ethnicity and ''yekaterske''{{efn|Usage: ''Yekaterske graždanstvo''}}, for citizens of Yekateria.

=== Use of ''Yekatersko'' in other languages ===
In October 2382, Chancellor [[Carl Freitag|Karl Freitag]] issued a chancellorial proclamation mandating the use of "Yekaterská" in all promotional and economic materials, seeing the use of "Yekateria" and "Yekaterian" as an "imperialist-imposed foreign name". Following the move, [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity]] leaders in the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]] pushed through resolutions officialising the change; renaming the country's common name to "''Yekatersko''" and adopting "''Yekaterská Federaciá''" and "''Yekaterská Federation''" as the country's long titles in Yekaterian and English.

The Yekaterian government immediately publicised the name change, requesting that other nations use ''Yekaterská''/''Yekatersko'' as the nation's name in all legal, economic, cultural, and diplomatic affairs, with the [[United Empire]] being the first nation to recognise the officialisation of the {{W|Endonym|endonym}}.

==History==
===Early history===
The earliest traces of human settlement in Yekateria dates back to {{Circa|2 to 1.25 million}} years ago, with ''Homo erectus'' hominids leaving traces within the [[Yekateria–Skowronska–Tanaskazia Borderland]] in the form of flint tool speciments.

The first traces of modern humans were dated to roughly 45,000 years ago in the form of the semi-legendary [[Yulasenia culture]], with certain members reportedly having traversed the Kamepás Mountains into the Yekaterinska Okres'.

===Kingdom of Saryuhrad and Carsiphian suzerainty===
The country began in historical records as the Kingdom of Saryuhrad, formed in the year 769 with the Saryuhradans having lived on the land since 500 BC, historically having been subject to numerous other empires. The well-liked monarchs of the [[House of Kremsvol']] also rose to prominence within this time period, establishing personal unions and trading pacts with other kingdoms along the Sybyllan coast as well as uniting the Kingdom of Saryuhrad and the Duchy of Alin.

Between the 1100s and 1200s, the kingdom rose to local prominence due to its economic and military power, yet it had to constantly compete with the Sultanate of Carsiphia which formed in the Karskallan desert and competed with the Kingdom of Saryuhrad-Alinska for resources and land. The kingdom fell during the 15 Years War due to instability within the military and had a majority of land taken away and turned into the Carsiphian vassals of Sariuhrad and Alalin. The House of Kremsvol' managed to live on in the Kingdom of Artynia further up the coast.

The vassalised kingdom quietly developed economically and politically under Carsiphian suzerainty, with the Chief of the Sariuhradan Council agreeing to pay a 25% tribute to the newly-formed Carsiphian Empire. Chief Aleksandr Donskov supported the increasing population by introducing new laws suited for the citizens and was considered very modern for his time. The Sariuhradan Chiefdom eventually evolved into the Grand Duchy of Sariuhrad under the rule of Ivan Donskov in the 1550s, with Ivan Donskov chosen as the first Grand Duke.

===Rise of the Grand Duchy of Saryuhrad and personal unions===
Due to the internal problems of the Carsiphian Empire, Sultan Osman II of Carsiphia demanded a higher increase in tribute to the Carsiphian Empire or be threatened with war and annexation. Knowing that the state of the Carsiphian Imperial Army was in shambles and was severely outdated, Grand Duke Eduard Donskov and the Sariuhradan Citizen Guard secured arms from the Kingdom of Vladimir in exchange for the ruling Kremlyna family to become monarchs of the country if the revolution succeeded. After turning down the increased tribute demand, the Carsiphian Imperial Army dug in for a siege on the city of Sariuhrad, with the attempt failing. The increasingly powerful Sariuhradan Citizen Guard, reorganised into the Novo-Sariuhradsky Revolutionary Army chased the Carsiphian Imperial Army to the city of Cygeturku and conducted a successful siege due to large amounts of the Carsiphian Imperial Army having defected from the army due to poor morale.
[[File:AlbertIVSK.png|left|thumb|250x250px|[[Albert I of Yekateria|Tsar Albert I]] (1824–1861)]]
The Sariuhradan Citizen Guard then marched to the capital of Carsiphia, Carsyget, and forced a quick surrender within 3 years. King Albert IV of Vladimir was inaugurated as [[Albert I of Yekateria|Tsar Albert I of Vladimir-Saryuhrad]], with Stolitsyn renamed in honour of Eduard Donskov as Eduardsk' and Eduard being chosen as Duke of Eduardsk'. The grandson of Albert I through his predeceased son Nikolai, also the grandson of Eduard Donskov through his daughter Anna, Mikhail, took the throne as [[Albert II of Yekateria|Albert II of Vladimir-Saryuhrad]]. Albert II later married Katerina of the Kingdom of Kalysia and formed a personal union with the commencement of the marriage.

===Birth of Yekateria and the 20th century===
Upon the formation of the Personal Union of Vladimir-Saryuhrad-Kalysia on 1 January 1901, a much more fitting name had to be chosen for the sake of unity. A month-long discussion between the Tsar and his advisors settled on the name Yekateria-Kalysia, with the name Yekateria being a corrupted spelling of the name Yekaterina II, who had ruled the Kingdom of Vladimir in 1672 and had her daughters married into the Donskov family and the House of Kalysia.

====First Communist Yekateria====
This was not to last however, as the country fell apart due to disastrous economic policies and the war with Turulia in 1911 which led to the rise of Communism under [[Vladimir Lenislav]] during the 1912 Revolution. The country stayed neutral in WWI and involved heavily in WWII, with Leninsk' (formerly Eduardsk') having been under heavy fire by Axis powers. This greatly diminished support in the Communist government and was overthrown in 1943 by the Liberation Army of the Sybyllan Coast led by Sethlandian [[Shane I of Yekateria|Shane Dyleson]], who was then inaugurated as Shane I of Yekateria. The country flourished under the Dyleson family who then integrated into the House of Kremsvol' with the marriage of Shane II of Yekateria and Princess Anastasia Tykhova of Kremsvol'.

====Dyleson-Kremsvol' Era====
[[File:ShaneIKremsvol.png|thumb|250x250px|Tsar [[Shane I of Yekateria]] (1943–1972)]]
Under the rule of the Dyleson-Kremsvol' dynasty, Yekateria was transformed into a {{W|Constitutional monarchy|constitutional monarchy}} with the [[Parliament of Yekateria]] as its supreme legislative body, electing Prime Ministers to serve as the country's head of government. Under this system, Yekaterian prime ministers generally held a lot of power, as was the case under the premiership of [[Leonid Krylov]], [[Artur Kolesov]], and [[Lavrenti Malenkov]]. Following right-wing government policies under [[Anatoly Gruzkin]], however, the position began losing its power to the Parliament and would ultimately be rendered powerless and constrained following the end of the era.

Yekaterian society gained increased rights and freedoms under Prime Ministers Krylov and Kolesov, with the freedoms of speech and assembly being commonly defended by parliamentary legislators. The Dyleson-Kremsvols' took a backseat to active politics following the elections of 1949. The latter years of the Dyleson-Kremsvol' monarchy would see increased ultranationalism due to relaxed policies on foreign immigration and increasingly liberal policies under Prime Ministers [[Lavrenti Malenkov]] and [[Stanislav Krasnov]].

===Early 21st century: Rise of the Kremlynas===
The Ultranationalists led by [[Markus I Kremlyna of Yekateria|Markus Kremlyna]] (born Markus Pavlov) overthrew the Dyleson-Kremsvol' monarchy and reversed a majority of liberal policies and replaced them with highly conservative policies. Under his rule as the [[List of Yekaterian heads of state|Vozhd' of Yekateria]], he also initiated a civilian-military dictatorship with the [[Nationalist Party of Yekateria|Nationalist Party]] in charge, with [[Evgeny Goncharov]] as the Prime Minister. He later appointed himself as Tsar in 2004, further introducing strictly nationalist Yekaterian religious and cultural traditions intended to further public support for the new royal family, and ruled until 2015 where he died from lung cancer.

Following the death of Markus I, he was succeeded by his son [[Shane III Kremlyna of Yekateria|Shane III Kremlyna]] (2015–2029), who continued the {{W|Stratocracy|stratocratic}} regime, with [[Gennady Kadurin]] becoming Prime Minister. The Kremlyna-Kadurin regime instituted further conservative The Kremlyna-Kadurin regime would later go on to start a war with the Mehmedian Sultanate, resulting in Tsar Kremlyna being {{W|Killed in action|killed in action}}. [[Shane IV Kremlyna of Yekateria|Shane IV Kremlyna]] (2029–2042) would then succeed him as Tsar.

The Kremlyna dynasty then ruled the country with minor hiccups until the start of Peter I Kremlyna's reign in 2042. The reign of [[Peter I Kremlyna]] saw mass corruption and economic downturn causing a major recession in which 40% of the country became unemployed.

=== Mid-Late 21st century: Great July Revolution and the Great People's Purge===

}}

Amidst the crisis and increasing discontent against Peter I, the [[Communist Party of Yekateria|Communist Party]] led by [[Petrov Zamarkyov]] and [[Peter Malenkov]] led a popular uprising, kickstarting the [[Great July Revolution of Yekateria|Great July Revolution]] and subsequent [[Yekaterian Civil War (2048-2050)|Yekaterian Civil War]]. Throughout the course of the war, the Communists frequently held the upper hand due to the support of partisans and the general state of hatred for the monarchy at the time.

The revolution progressed rapidly, from the northern urban center of Kynavsk, to the southern industrial city of Karagrad. Within the span of two years, the Yekaterian People's Revolutionary Army had effectively cornered the Imperial Yekaterian Army to the city of Edytacske, forcing their surrender at the Battle of Edytacske, exactly two years following the Revolt of the Eleventh of July.

With Zamarkyov having been a {{W|Missing in action|casualty of war}}, Peter Malenkov established himself as the Chairman of the Yekaterian People's Socialist Republic. The [[Great People's Purge (Yekateria)|Great People's Purge]] then commenced, resulting in a total wipe-out of the formerly prominent clergy class, denounced and disgraced personally by Malenkov himself and his allies in the [[Communist Party of Yekateria|Communist Party]]. Malenkov promptly proclaimed himself as Chairman of the YPSR and as the Chairman of the Council of Ministers.

==== Peter Malenkov Era (2050-2082)====
Under his leadership, Peter Malenkov would hold on to near-absolute power until 2070, following the appointment of [[Pavel Lebedev]] as Premier. He begun a program of {{W|Collective farming|collectivisation}} and {{W|Industrialisation|mass industrialisation}} following the conclusion of the Great People's Purge, resulting in {{W|Famine|famines}} across the Sredniravnin region, and the estimated death of hundreds of thousands. Despite this, however, the program would push Yekaterian farming and industry far forward.

Malenkov would begin to adopt more draconian laws following the rebellion in [[Carsiphia Oblast (Yekateria)|Carsiphia Oblast]] in the late 2360s, consolidating more power in the party organs and cracking down on any potential sources of separatist movements within the country. However, he would slowly relinquish control as he aged, handing some form of power to premiers [[Pavel Lebedev]] and [[Dmitri Ulyanilov]], and as his closest revolutionary comrades died from old age. Prior to his death, Malenkov promoted his son [[Andrey Malenkov]] as the Head of the Security Forces, anointing him as his successor.

===22nd-24th centuries: Modern Malenkovist era===

====Post-Peter Era (2082 to 2200s) ====
Following [[Peter Malenkov]]'s death, Yekateria formally underwent a "period without leaders", in mourning following his death in December 2382. [[Andrey Malenkov]] took over, consolidating power whilst also bringing Yekateria closer to a democratic transition. Following the 2090 elections, [[Dmitry Zarynov]] of the [[Progressive Party of Yekateria|Progressive Party]]. Alarmed by another Progressive victory in 2095 and attempts by the Progressives to pursue charges against Communist Party members, the Communists under [[Andrey Malenkov]] staged an uprising, starting the Civil War of 2095. Andrey Malenkov returned to power following their military success in 2098, after high-profile defections from the [[Red Army of Yekateria|Red Army]]. The younger Malenkov then began consolidating his own power, holding the positions of President and Premier until his own death in 2106. His sister, [[Valentina Malenkova]], became Premier, with [[Aleksandr B. Kremsvol]] becoming President. Valentina Malenkova softened her brother's increasingly authoritarian tone, resigning in 2108 following a fall-out with military leaders.
[[File:IvanMalenkov.jpg|thumb|250x250px|[[Ivan Malenkov]], Yekaterian premier and paramount leader from 2108 to 2133]]
After Valentina's resignation, [[Ivan Malenkov]], Andrey's son, ascended to the Premiership in 2108 with [[Aleksandr A. Kremsvol]] as President. Two years later, Kremsvol would be replaced by [[Elena Kremsvol-Malenkova]]. Under Ivan Malenkov, Yekateria formally began steps towards space exploration with the inauguration of the Yekosmosage (now [[Federalkosmos (Yekateria)|Federalkosmos]]), and promptly began work on interspace travel. In the economics field, Yekateria implemented its first intranet, the [[Ivannet (Yekateria)|Ivannet]], serving as a new medium of communication not connected to the outside world. Yekateria also saw increased militarisation as a result of increased international tensions, with tensions coming to a head with the [[Anduat blockade of Yekateria]].

The government of Ivan Malenkov also frequently saw Yekateria switching allegiances, forming an "unholy alliance" with nations such as Kiev, the Lakish Empire, and Ben Labs in invading and occupying the nation of [[Anduat]]. However, this was not to last – with Kievan interests resulting in border skirmishes on the western border. Furthermore, the Yekaterian territory of [[New Yekateria]] was also under threat of being invaded. Realising that Yekateria was in dire straits, Ivan Malenkov promptly retired in 2133, handing over the reins to [[Stepan Malenkov]], his son and groomed successor.

Stepan Malenkov would oversee an attempt at some level of reform, attempting to normalise relations with nations such as [[Evstotzka]] and [[Kiev (YFU)|Kiev]], and opening cordial relations with [[Fahnhof]] over their shared interests in "dumb consumer technology". However, this was cut short following Stepan's assassination in 2143, resulting [[Kristina Malenkova]]'s ascension to the premiership. She would oversee success in the realm of international diplomacy, placing [[Yekaterian–Evstotzkan relations]] at their highest ever for the era. She would voluntarily retire in 2150.

Yekateria would later go on to enjoy relative peace and economic prosperity under the leaderships of [[Dmitri Malenkov]], [[Vasily Malenkov]], [[Julia Malenkova]], and [[Shane-Alexandra Kremlyna]], managing to secure non–aggression treaties with some of its former enemies, and consolidate its hold on its territories previously acquired over the past few decades. At the same time, the planet of [[Chetyria (planet)|Chetyria]] was successfully colonised, marking the beginning of the interplanetary period.

[[Erik Malenkov]] would rise to power in 2174 following [[Julia Malenkova]]'s retirement. Under his leadership, reforms as part of the move towards a multiparty democracy were implemented, allowing for the rise of the [[National Liberal Party of Yekateria|National Liberal Party]]. However, out of caution, the Yekaterian government ensured that the [[Communist Party of Yekateria|Communist Party]] would retain its massive majority. He would go on to become one of the longest–serving leaders, serving between 2174 and 2204. [[Aleksandr Malenkov]] succeeded him as leader.

====Natalian Era (2200s)====
[[File:Nataliaportrait.png|thumb|250x250px|[[Natalia Malenkova]], Yekateria's longest–serving leader from 2206 to 2250, and 2290 to 2295|left]]
In 2206, [[Natalia Malenkova]] ascended to power following the death of her father and previous leader [[Aleksandr Malenkov]]. An ambitious leader, Malenkova immediately began grand projects to improve the country's small towns and infrastructure, as well as Yekateria's military and space capabilities. She was also the first leader in Yekaterian history to belong to the LGBTQ+ community.

The [[MEGRAPRO]], Yekateria's largest–ever infrastructure project in its modern history, began in 2210. Costing over 4.4 quadrillion Korunas (adjusted for present–day costs), the project reached its conclusion in 2335, with billions of buildings built, hundreds of thousands of kilometers of roads and paths paved, as well as the mass creation of new jobs and efficiency processes that ultimately brought Yekateria to the forefront of universal production.

Yekateria advanced from a Type II civilisation to a Type III civilisation, going from an interplanetary nation into an intergalactic nation. The country began colonising the {{W|Andromeda Galaxy|Via Yekaterska}} galaxy, becoming the most powerful nation in the universe at the time.

However, Yekateria saw its most {{W|Militarism|militaristic}} era, resulting in the nuclear destruction of several nations, particularly [[Mexico (GeoRP)|Mexico]], [[Azeria]], and several other nations within the universe. Yekateria also saw increasing expansion in this era, establishing a near-hegemon status, and becoming even more powerful in the diplomatic sphere with the founding of the [[Universal Alliance of Nations (GeoRP)|UAN]], the first-ever international organisation which included a variety of nations with different ideologies.

[[Natalia Malenkova]] voluntarily stepped down in 2250, handing the reins of power to [[Vladimir Ponomarenko]], who continued Natalia's policy of militarisation. Following his death in 2255, [[Anastasia Bukharova]] took over, in which international tensions continued, culminating in the [[Second Great Universal War]]. Over 600 billion deaths resulted in the ensuing war, in which both Yekateria and the rest of the universe suffered heavy bombing and destruction. Yekateria's industrial capacity largely survived, from which a massive reconstruction effort began and the MEGRAPRO project continued in earnest.

Under [[Lyudmila Malenkova]], [[Feliks Aleksandrov]], and [[Kristina Malenkova]]'s leaderships, Yekaterian international relations normalised, with the country continuing its path of expansion and reconstruction in a relatively peaceful way. At the same time, Yekateria received aid from the international community following the collapse of the [[Yekaterian thalyssa]], and oversaw reforms to reduce its massive bureaucracy. At the same time, other parties were formally legalised as separate entities, allowing for the formation of the pro-reformist [[Front for Liberalism and Democracy]], and the right-wing [[New Great Yekateria Coalition]].

[[Natalia Malenkova]] returned to power as president in 2290, under the pseudonym "Aleksandra Ivanova". Her second stint in office saw new tensions between Yekateria and their former enemy of [[Kenalfer]], as well as increasing tensions with the [[UN (GeoRP)|UN]] over potential human rights' abuses in Yekateria. On the brink of war, Malenkova recognised the troubling potential of keeping Yekateria on the same trajectory, resigning following the 2295 elections for interim leader [[Daria Myshchenko]].

===== First Elisean presidency (2295–2297) =====
[[Elise Malenkova]] became president in 2295 following a [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|People's Solidarity Party]] leadership election. As president, Elise Malenkova began reforms towards the Federal Government, instituting new electoral reforms and laying the groundwork for the modern [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]]. In her first term as president, however, Yekateria would continue to see more of the same from the ruling party, which would eventually grow into dissent that led to the party's fall from power for the first time in 200 years.

Following the 2297 snap election, [[Antoni Ivanko]] was elected to power, ending 200 years of continuous Malenkovist rule.

===== Ivanko presidency and August 2300 coup (2297–2300) =====
[[Antoni Ivanko]] pushed for further reforms in earnest, gaining the support of the younger generations. Under his leadership, the country saw further increased levels of democratisation and liberalisation, eroding away at the Malenkovist grip which had held the country for almost 250 years. With support of the younger generations, the [[Reform! Freedom! Democracy! (Yekateria)|Reform! Freedom! Democracy!]] coalition gained a second term, although in a closely fought election with the newly ousted [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|People's Solidarity]].

However, the liberalist government was cut short following a coup in August 2300 coordinated by the [[Federal Armed Forces of Yekateria|Yekaterian Red Army]] and former president [[Elise Malenkova]], with the coup ultimately succeeding. [[Elise Malenkova]] returned to power and continued the Malenkovist version of reforms, ultimately trimming down the size of her government and increasing the power of the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Supreme Soviet]].

===== Second Elisean presidency and Era of Troubles (2300–late 2310s) =====
Yekateria would continue seeing Malenkovist-style reforms under the second presidency of [[Elise Malenkova]], with the Yekaterian government implementing further infrastructure and welfare programs to "bring Yekateria to a moral level above that of monarcho-fascist states". Yekateria would also begin seeing its first efforts to officially promote trade with the outside world and implementing financial stability, at the behest of Trade and Finance Minister [[Ryan Helsingborg]]. However, at the party's 34th Congress, then-party leader [[Elise Malenkova]] announced her sudden resignation, to the dismay of party members present at the meeting. Vice President and deputy leader [[Antonie Kovačova]] succeeded Malenkova as party leader and President, only to resign less than five years later as a result of the increasing discontent between the various factions of the party and a general breakdown of party discipline in the Supreme Soviet.

[[Adriéna Simkova]] was elected as president in the 2314 party election, facing down a resurgent nationalist movement in the form of the [[National Party]]. The Supreme Soviet also saw more chaos following the election of [[National Party for Reform]] politician [[Ivana Zakladna]] as the Speaker of the House of the State (now [[House of the Federals of Yekateria|House of the Federals]]). [[Aleksandr Kalynov]] of the [[National Party of Yekateria|National Party]] would be elected president by parliamentarians in September 2317 following infighting within the [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|People's Solidarity Party]]. He would be deposed by new People's Solidarity leader [[Ivan Honcharuk]] in September 2318.

However, infighting in the party would result in Honcharuk's resignation 8 months later. [[Antonie Kovačova]] would briefly return to the presidency but would be removed by the conservative Elisean–Elinean faction within a month. [[Eline Malenkova]] served as interim president between July 2319 and July 2320.

===== Andrean era (2320s–2340s) =====
[[Andrea de Rynsburger-Malenkova]], the daughter of [[Elise Malenkova]], was elected president in 2320 together with premier [[Lukas Petrauskas]]. Her leadership oversaw the conclusion of the MEGRAPRO project as well as the continued expansion of Yekateria, whilst also attempting to forge new alliances with former enemies and maintain Yekaterian hegemony over the main planets. de Rynsburger-Malenkova introduced new laws allowing for android citizenship, as well as vastly improved trade and connection between West Yekateria and East Yekateria. de Rynsburger-Malenkova also began formal relations with the nation of [[Neilreich]], setting the stage for the country's eventual accession to the Federation. At the same time, de Rynsburger-Malenkova also accepted the accession of [[Esbaltin]], splitting the country's new lands into the Republic of Esbaltica and the Republic of Belaelise, as constituent republics of the Federation.

De Rynsburger-Malenkova resigned following the failure of the [[GLORY Act (Yekateria)|GLORY Act]], pressured onto her by conservatives and the failure of the country to react to the coronavirus.
====Xanderean era (2340s–2381)====
[[File:PhilipAlexanderportrait2369improved.jpg|thumb|250x250px|[[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]], the ''de facto'' "paramount leader" of Yekateria between 2343 and 2381.]]Following the rise of [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]] to the presidency in 2343, Yekateria underwent reforms aimed at opening up the market and lessening government control and intervention in the economy. Under his first administration, the country adopted a completely new flag based on the historical Slavic tricolour and a new coat of arms. The first Xanderean presidential administration also implemented {{W|Decommunization|decommunization}} policies and sought to rehabilitate the country's status as a {{W|Pariah state|pariah state}} by heading towards neutrality.

Following the [[2345 Yekaterian general elections|2345 general elections]], de Rynsburger implemented a ''tandemocracy'' by switching places with then-Chancellor [[William Taylor]]. He would then serve as chancellor for the next 20 years, save for a 56-day period in 2356 where he was briefly deposed by [[Natalia Malenkova]]. He would later co-lead government with President [[William-Alexander de Rynsburger]].

Throughout his 38 years in power, de Rynsburger's political positions gradually shifted from a left-populist to that a neoliberal, slowly privatising Yekaterian state-owned companies and focusing on increased economic growth. He returned to the presidency in 2366 along with his husband and leftist-populist [[Ryan Hochhahn]], with a social welfare system facing decline. De Rynsburger stuck to his neoliberal positions, however, causing tensions between him and Hochhahn, eventually resulting in the election of right-wing [[Thomas-Anton Lindeman|Thomas Lindeman]] as chancellor following a backroom deal brokered between him and [[Thomas Aspen-Malenkov]].

Despite introducing further elements of democracy and lessening government control of the economy, de Rynsburger has been seen accused of an authoritarian style of government, frequently attacking opposition and starting wars against nations such as [[Majapahitian Empire|Majapahit]] and [[Azeria]]. He was succeeded by his son [[Lukas Hochburger]] in 2381.

==Geography==
Yekateria's mainland landmass stretches between the {{W|Bering Strait|Bering Strait}} in the east and the North Atlantic in the country's western reaches, covering all of Northernmost Asia and the heart of Europe. Yekateria lies between latitudes 40° and 82° N, and longitudes 59° E and 24° W, extending some 11,500 km (7,150 mi) east to west, and 5,400 km (3,350 mi) north to south. Yekateria, by landmass, is larger than two continents.

Yekateria has thirteen major mountain ranges, and they are found along the easternmost, westernmost and southernmost regions, which include the Altay and Sayan Mountains in Sybylla; and in the Malenkov Mountains and the {{W|Kamchatka Peninsula|Kolízácie Peninsula}} in the Yekaterian Far East (containing Idey Malenkovski, which at 4,750 m (15,584 ft) is the highest active volcano in Eurasia). The {{W|Ural Mountains|Kamepás Mountains}}, running north to south through the country's centre, are rich in mineral resources, and form the traditional boundary between Yevroze and Azea.

However, Yekateria's intergalactic outposts and interplanetary territory also provide the nation with a far variety of landscapes, giving it the nickname "The World in One Country".

===Climate===
As a result of Yekateria's massive landmass, the country's climate varies wildly between its extremes. However, a large majority of its mainland landmass on Yekaterska-Alpha are between the temperate and continental climate zones, ranging between ''Cfa'' in the Aquitainean Riviera, ''Cfb'' in Western [[Xandersko (YF)|Xandersko]], and ''Dfb'' in [[Velka Wiliamsburg]]. Western parts of the Federation experience more {{W|Oceanic climate|oceanic}} climes; with central parts experiencing {{W|Continental climates|continental}} climes, and eastern parts experiencing much more climates bordering on subartic. Heading northwards, the climate changes to that of {{W|Tundra climate|tundra}}.

The average temperature across the Federation varies widely too, from a typical winter temperature of −15 °C in Eastern Yekateria to that of 5-10 °C in Aquitaine. Average precipitation, meanwhile, ranged between 10 litres per square meter in January to 110 litres per square meter in July, measured in Central Yekateria. Average monthly hours of sunshine ranged between 32 hours in November 2380 to 342 hours in July 2380.
[[File:UralhillsYekateria.jpg|thumb|227x227px|The Marynska Hills in the {{W|Ural Mountains|Kamepás Mountains}}, one of Yekateria's numerous [[Lesopark (Yekateria)|''Lesoparks'']]]]

===Biodiversity===
Yekateria, owing to its massive landmass, sees a massive range of landscapes from its eastern end to its western end; it begins with the {{W|East Siberian taiga|East Sybyllan taiga}} in the [[Nataliska Oblast]], continues as such until the {{W|Ural Mountains|Kamepás Mountains}}, before gradually transitioning into plains and broadleaf forests heading westwards. Landscapes in Far East, Eastern, and Central Yekateria also includes {{W|polar desert}}s, {{W|tundra|tundra}}, forest tundra, {{W|taiga|taiga}}, {{W|Temperate broadleaf and mixed forests|mixed and broadleaf forest}}, {{W|forest steppe|forest steppe}}, {{W|steppe}}, semi-desert, and {{W|subtropics}}. Heading westwards, the terrain then changes into {{W|Central European mixed forests|Central Evroyan mixed forests}}, {{W|Baltic mixed forests|Baltian mixed forests}}, as well as {{W|Western European broadleaf forests|West Evroyan broadleaf forests}}, before transitioning into {{W|Atlantic mixed forests|Atlantican mixed forests}} heading into [[Aquitaine (YF)|Aquitaine]] and [[Estvanka (YF)|Estvanka]]. As of 2380, over 65% of Yekaterian land is forested, with 27% of land devoted to agriculture and forestry, with the remaining 8% being built-up land.

Yekateria is an {{w|Asymmetric federalism|asymmetric federal}} republic, with a {{w|Semi-presidential system|semi-presidential system}}, wherein the [[Federal President of Yekateria|president]] serves as the {{w|Head of state|head of state}} and the [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|chancellor]] as the {{w|Head of government|head of government}}. It is structured as a {{w|Multi-party system|multi-party}} {{w|Representative democracy|representative democracy}} with the Federal Government being composed of three branches;
*Legislative: The {{W|Bicameralism|bicameral}} [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria]], made up of the 455,515-member [[House of the Federals (Yekateria)|House of the Federals]] and the 176,905-member [[Federal Senate (Yekateria)|Federal Senate]], adopts {{W|Federal law|federal law}}, {{W|Declaration of war|declares war}}, approves treaties, has the {{W|Power of the purse|power of the purse}}, and the power of impeachment for the president and power of confidence for the chancellor.
* Executive: The president is the [[Supreme Commander-in-chief of Yekateria|commander-in-chief]] of the [[Federálvorusil|Armed Forces]], appoints members of the [[Federal Council (Yekateria)|Federal Council]] (cabinet) with the advice of the Chancellor, as well as appointing justices to the federal courts and other federal offices. The chancellor is {{W|De jure|de jure}} equal to the president in terms of power, with the explicit right to be consulted and provide advice to the appointments of the president, as well as conduct actions in their role as Co-Chairperson of the Federal Government and Chief Economic Officer.
*Judiciary: The [[Federal Supreme Court (Yekateria)|Federal Supreme Court]], the [[Federal Constitutional Forum (Yekateria)|Federal Constitutional Forum]], and similar lower courts on the federal level, interprets laws and can overturn laws they deem {{W|Constitutionality|unconstitutional}}. The justices of the Federal Supreme Court and the members of the Federal Constitutional Forum are appointed by the [[Federal President of Yekateria|federal president]] on the advice of the [[Federal Attorney-General of Yekateria|attorney-general]], subject to the consent of the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]].

The president, who is currently [[Karl Freitag]] since 2401, is elected by popular vote for a five-year term and may be elected for no more than three consecutive terms. In their role as head of state, chief diplomat, and commander-in-chief of the [[Federal Armed Forces of Yekateria|Federal Armed Forces]], the president holds key influence and legal power in decisions relating to foreign policy, defence policy, and national security policy. The chancellor is indirectly elected through elections to the lower [[House of the Federals (Yekateria)|House of the Federals]], with the country's {{W|Mixed-member proportional representation|mixed-member proportional representation}} system often awarding the most seats to the coalition with the most popular votes - the chancellor is also beholden to the confidence of the House, without which they are unable to pass laws. The chancellor is explicitly titled as the "primary economic manager" of the Federation, responsible for ensuring the execution and implementation of economic policies and programs.

[[Federal executive departments of the Yekaterian Federation|Departments of the government]] are comprised of the presidency, the chancellery, secretaries, and selected other individuals; the [[Federal Senate (Yekateria)|Federal Senate]] holds the power of {{W|Advice and consent|advice and consent}} for appointments to the departments. As a byproduct of the country's semi-presidential system, however, the responsibility for secretarial nominations in the fields of defence and security are the prerogative of the president, while the chancellor has more influence in nominating secretaries relating to the economy. Within the framework of the [[Federal Constitution of the Yekaterian Federation]], the secretaries are given administrative autonomy and regularly provide inputs towards the discussion and planning of new policies, a result of the country's emphasis on {{W|Collective leadership|collective leadership}} dating back to the communist era.

Yekaterian politics is dominated by the [[Asteranism|Asteranist]] [[Solidarity Party of Yekateria|Solidarity]] and [[Federalist Party of Yekateria|Federalist]] parties, both being seen as "big tent" parties with liberal and conservative tendencies respectively. Historically, the [[Malenkov Family]] has dominated politics, being described as a {{W|Political family|political family}} and as a hereditary dictatorship by critics. The largest non-Malenkovist parties are the [[Social Democrats of Yekateria|Social Democrats]] and [[The Greens (Yekateria)|The Greens]], led by [[Mark Winters]] and [[Moritz Waldmann]] respectively, who are presently in a coalition (along with the minor [[Liberal Forum (Yekateria)|Liberal Forum]]) with Solidarity.

===The Federal People's Assembly===
The Federálne Ľudovéche, or the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal People's Assembly]], forms the legislative branch of the Yekaterian Government and meets in the Palace of the Soviets in [[Nataliska]] Precinct 5 and the Palace of the Federation in [[Xanderholm]]'s Ryansky Okres.[[File:Federal Assembly Building.png|thumb|The Palace of the Federation in Xanderholm, along with nearby office towers for legislators.]]The current chairperson of the House of the Federals is [[Nicolaas Westerman]] ([[Solidarity Party of Yekateria|PSD]]). Meanwhile, the current chairperson of the Senate is Senator [[Zuzana Novomedská]] ([[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|PSD]]) with the overall chairperson of the Federálne Ľudovéche being [[Jonas Katterfeld]]. The Federálne Ľudovéche meets regularly to discuss new laws affecting the whole country with 632,420 (455,515 in the [[House of the Federals of Yekateria|House of the Federals]], 176,905 in the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]]) total representatives from all corners of the country.

The Federal Assembly currently consists of three factions; the majority Alliance for Liberal Democracy led by [[Julia Schöfauer-Andersen]] (PS) and [[Emelie Westermarck]] (SD), the minority Our Homeland - Yekateria led by [[Eleonora Ernman]] (PF) and [[Viktor Timoshenko]] (LP) , and the Free Coalition, consisting of parties not falling into one of the two major coalitions.

====Federal Assembly leadership====
The Federal Assembly is headed by the Federal Assembly Leadership Caucus, with [[Sam Odenberg]] serving as the leader and chair. It is comprised mainly of ruling [[Solidarity Party of Yekateria|Solidarity]] politicians, with the House of the Federals being represented by [[Nicolaas Westerman]] and the Federal Senate being represented by [[Martijn Schrievers]]. This is not to be confused with the floor leaders of the Federal Assembly, holding different leadership roles in running the bicameral Assembly's day-to-day operations.

===The Federal Court and Federal Constitutional Forum ===
[[File:Federal Quarter.png|thumb|The Federal Quarter in Xanderholm, home to the [[Federal Court of Yekateria|Federal Court]] (left), [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]] (right), and the Library of the Federal Assembly (center)|left]]The [[Federal Court of Yekateria|Federal Court]] and the [[Federal Constitutional Forum of Yekateria|Federal Constitutional Forum]] serves as the country's {{W|Supreme court|supreme court}} and {{W|Constitutional court|constitutional court}} respectively, dealing with matters with regards to the country's law and constitutional matters. Originally grouped under the Federal Court, the country's two judicial organs are responsible for verifying the constitutionality of laws and settling legal cases from lower appellate courts.

The two courts exercise similar procedures to that of supreme courts in common law jurisdictions, granting {{W|Certiorari|writs of certiorari}} on a case-by-case basis and whether the matter requires the {{W|Judicial review|judicial review}} of the Federal Court or the Federal Constitutional Forum. Out of hundreds of thousands of petitions each year, both courts only review a few hundred, largely due to the combined membership sizes of the courts being less than fifty.

=== Political subdivisions===
Yekateria is comprised of 42 republics, with each republic having its own President and a Chancellor who heads the Republican Government. Under the country's {{W|Asymmetric federalism|asymmetrical federalist}} model, each constituent republic has its own independent {{W|Government|government}} and {{W|Constitution|constitution}} in addition to the [[Federal Constitution of the Yekaterian Federation|Federal Constitution]] governing the entire Federation. All republics are designated using one of three terms; "Federal Republic", "United Federal Republic", and "Federated Federal Republic". Of the 42 constituent republics, [[Albaéire (Yekateria)|Albaéire]], [[Ivanskovia (Yekateria)|Ivanskovia]], and [[Chetyria (Yekateria)|Cetyrska]] hold the designation of "United Federal Republic", whilst the constituent republic of [[Yekateria (republic)|Yekateria]] is the only republic with the designation of "Federated Federal Republic".

The [[Federal republics of Yekateria|federal republics]] have mostly equal representation in the country's [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]], having 4395 seats each, with the constituent republic of Yekateria being the only one with 4895 seats due to its oversized influence and population over the rest. At present, there are planned reforms to introduce regional assemblies for groups of republics by region, in order to further decentralise decision-making from the fairly large [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly of the Yekaterian Federation]].

===Foreign relations===
Yekateria has historically been seen as a {{W|Great power|great power}} with regards to foreign relations, however it has been regarded as a {{W|Pariah state|pariah state}} for most of its history due to its aggressive foreign policy and perceived {{W|Ultranationalism|ultranationalist}} tendencies. Currently, it hosts no foreign embassies due to a self-imposed {{W|Isolationism|isolationism}} over the past decade – however at its peak, it maintained diplomatic relations with over 40 nations and organisations. Yekateria has been a founding member of the [[Asteran Union]], [[Evstotzkian Alliance]], [[Universal Alliance of Nations (GeoRP)|UAN]], and the [[Universatums-Inštitút]] and held significant influence in the [[Universal Council of Nations|UCN]], [[International Defense of Democracy Club|IDDC]], and the [[Little Nations]] organisations.

Yekateria maintains close relations with neighbouring countries such as [[Hallech]], which it has associated with for several decades and trades frequently with. In recent years, the country has also opened up relations with the [[Empire of Majapahit]], following a publicised apology by Vice Chancellor and Secretary of State [[Karl Freitag]] over the historical invasion of the nation.

Historically and recently, Yekateria has allegedly committed human rights' abuses against other nations, frequently resorting to the use of {{W|Nuclear weapons|nuclear bombs}} and committing {{W|Genocide|genocide}} against nations deemed as enemies to its ruling [[Malenkovism|Malenkovist]] ideology.

===Military===
[[File:Fighter jet taking off.jpg|thumb|A Yekaterian MVK-75 taking off.]]
The [[Federal Armed Forces of Yekateria]] are divided into the [[Yekaterian Federal Army|Federal Army]], [[Yekaterian Federal Navy|Federal Navy]], [[Yekaterian Federal Air Force|Federal Air Force]], [[Yekaterian Federal Space Fleet|Federal Space Fleet]], and the independent branches [[Yekaterian Federal Logistics and Support Service|Federal Logistics and Support Service]] and [[Yekaterian Federal Military Intelligence|Federal Military Intelligence]]. As of 2402, the military consists of 904 billion active-duty personnel, and between 430–450 billion {{W|Military reserve force|reserve personnel}}. All Yekaterians between the age of 18–25 are eligible for service in the Armed Forces, however this is voluntary and will only be activated in times of war.

Yekateria is recognised as being a {{W|Hyperpower|hyperpower}} in this regard, owning a sizeable amount of the most powerful superweapons capable of destroying several star systems at once. Yekateria is also a major leader in {{W|Special forces|special operations}}, having successfully performed {{W|Decapitation (military strategy)|decapitation strikes}} against terrorists and hostile governments alike. Yekateria maintains an exceedingly high military expenditure, spending $8.6 sextillion in 2402, corresponding to 4.2% of its GDP. The country also maintains a wholly indigenous defense industry, producing the entirety of its military equipment.

===Human rights===
Despite moves by the [[Federal Government of Yekateria|Federal Government]] to implement human rights laws and codifying them into the Federal Constitution, Yekateria has historically committed and presently commits human rights' abuses against groups it deems contrary to the ideals of its ruling Malenkovist parties, both [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity]] and [[Federalist Party (Yekateria)|Federalist]].
[[File:Church-demolition.png|thumb|Churches have been historically targeted for demolition in Yekateria, following the aftermath of the [[Great July Revolution]].]]
Having historically taken up an {{W|Antireligion|anti-religious}} stance under the old {{W|Marxism-Leninism|Marxist-Leninist-}}[[Malenkovism|Malenkovist]] regime, successive governments have actively pursued and promoted {{W|Religious persecution|religious persecution}} against believers of the country's traditional {{W|Eastern Orthodoxy|Eastern Orthodox}} churches, as well as other religions that historically existed within Yekateria's borders. As such, the country is largely atheist and irreligious due to historical campaigns of anti-religion persecutions and the country's ruling governments scaremongering against religious beliefs.

In certain regions and republics of the Federation, {{W|Racial discrimination|racial discrimination}} is passively enforced by local governments due to federal government inaction in enforcing the {{W|Civil and political rights|civil and political rights}} of minorities. For instance, the constituent republic of [[Witeshuis (Yekateria)|Witeshuis]] openly adopted and utilised an apartheid-like system of governance and society for over two decades; primary reasons for inaction include the Yekaterian federal government's unwillingness to actively intervene in the affairs of its republics, and the existence of {{W|Far-right politics|far-right parties}} such as the [[Greater Yekaterian Peoples' Party]] on the federal level.

Yekateria also historically exercised {{W|Censorship|censorship}} against material, groups, individuals, and organisations deemed to be a threat to its unofficial ideology – for instance, Yekaterian internet regulator [[Federágesvyaz]] occasionally conducted intentional {{W|Internet outage|internet shutdowns}} in response to online publications of material that may pose an embarrassment or threat to the ruling government, shutting down access to the information by Yekaterian citizens.

In spite of the human rights' shortcomings in Yekateria, the country sees excellent rights for the LGBTQ+ community and labour rights, with the Federal Constitution and the Federal Charter of Citizens' Rights including protections for human rights and human dignity. In an effort to reconcile with the nation's past, the Yekaterian [[Federal Government of Yekateria|Federal Government]] recently recognised the abuses committed against the [[Yekaterian Foresters]], a marginalised group of descendants of dissidents forced out of society and has begun efforts to rehabilitate them.

===Law and crime===
{{Main|Law in Yekateria|Crime in Yekateria}}
The primary and fundamental law in Yekateria is the [[Federal Constitution of Yekateria|Federal Constitution of the Yekaterian Federation]]. Statutes, like the [[Federal Code of Yekateria|Federal Code]] and the [[Regulatory Code of the Yekaterian Federation]] are the prominent legal sources of Yekaterian law.

Yekateria enjoys one of the safest societies in the universe, with low crime rates. However, {{W|White-collar crime|white-collar crime}} is more prevalent in this case, largely due to the country's convoluted tax system and lack of corporate accountability practices.

==Economy==
[[File:Robotic factory manufacturing.jpg|thumb|225x225px|Robotics-led manufacturing in a Yekaterian factory. The robotics sector is extremely well-developed within the country.]]
Yekateria has a {{W|Developed country|developed}}, {{W|World Bank high-income economy|high-income}} {{W|Trading nation|export-oriented}} {{W|Social market economy|social market economy}} based in services, manufacturing and innovation, that largely maintains a {{W|Welfare state|welfare state}} under the context of Malenkovism. Yekateria holds the largest individual economy based on nominal GDP and {{W|Purchasing power parity|PPP}}, at $205 sextillion. The country's economy is largely made up of the {{W|Tertiary sector of the economy|service sector}}, accounting for 56% of total GDP, while the {{W|Industrial sector|industrial sector}} accounts for 39% of GDP, while {{W|Primary sector of the economy|agriculture and resource extraction}} comprises 5% of the economy. Yekateria has an {{W|Unemployment|unemployment rate}} of 1.6%, having rebounded from the most recent high of 9.6% in the [[2374-2376 Yekaterian economic recession]]. Despite its large {{W|Foreign exchange reserves|foreign exchange reserves}} size of $72.4 quintillion, the Yekaterian government is in the process of creating new efforts to implement the [[Yekaterian koruna]] as the universe's new {{W|Reserve currency|reserve currency}}.
[[File:Verona Zlatamramora.png|thumb|225x225px|[[Verona (Yekateria)|Verona]] Zlata-Mramora MrEl4]]
In 2380 the largest companies by revenue in Yekateria include: the mega conglomerate [[Malenkov Group]], scientific research and engineering company [[Zelenovo Group]], software company [[Zelycko Corporation|Zelycko]], defense manufacturing company [[Perunska]], real estate and finance company [[Samco Group|Samco]], and spacecraft company [[Kosmona Dynamics]]. {{W|Public company|Public companies}} in Yekateria, a holdover from the communist era, are rather common; the [[Yekaterian Group]] is one such partially state-owned enterprise holding a market share in crucial sectors such as passenger rail transport through [[Yekaterské Železnice]] (YŽ), the country's largest passenger rail operator.

As a result of the country's rather isolated history, {{W|Research and development|research and development}} efforts are seen as key to the Yekaterian economy's success and constant growth. The largest government-supported academically independent scientific body in the universe, the [[Federálnauka]], hosts over 2 million research institutes working under its wing. Other research institutions include the [[Kolesov Social Sciences Institute]], [[Mateveda Association]], and the [[Tesarov Society]]. Yekateria is also a founding member of the [[Universatums-Inštitút]], the first universal research and cooperative organisation dedicated to improving the conditions for all inhabitants of the universe.

===Science and technology===
{{Main|Science and technology in Yekateria}}
Being one of the most advanced societies in the universe, with a position on the {{W|Kardashev scale|Kardashev scale}} somewhere between a Type III and Type IV civilisation, Yekateria is home to a large host of futuristic technologies wielding massive potential. As a byproduct of the Malenkovist movement's embrace of {{W|Transhumanism|transhumanism}}, the country is home to marvels such as the [[Knowledge Repository]], one of the largest multimedia multi-format {{W|Library|libraries}} in the universe, and the [[Genepro (Yekateria)|Genepro]], a highly affordable {{W|Human genetic enhancement|human genetic enhancement}} treatment available to the average citizen.

Notable Yekaterian scientific and tech innovations include the first widely known feasible {{W|Solar sail|solar sail-powered}} spacecraft, the first mass extraction of resources from interplanetary extraction, interspace transmission of power through stationary power-repeating orbiters, as well as one of the first nations to harness the power of {{W|Dyson sphere|Dyson spheres}} and compound-based phase-changing space shields and defenses. Yekaterian scientist [[Radoslav Tesarov]] was also widely credited with the creation of the [[Rebtech]] technology, a space exploration advancement that allowed for the easy modular detachment and reattachment of spacecraft and spaceship sections in interstellar space, proving highly valuable in Yekateria's expansion and exploration in space.

===Infrastructure===
{{Main|Transport in Yekateria|Energy in Yekateria}}
[[File:Yekaterian trains.jpg|thumb|A Yekaterian [[Alstev]] CE-SRV Class 445 train running on the Eastern Circular Railway]]
With its large corridors of flat terrain flanked by gentle hills and mountains, roads and train transport are a fairly common method of land transportation across the vast Yekaterian nation. The Yekaterian highway system, the [[Autodiaľnica]], has no mandated {{W|Speed limit|speed limits}} for certain classes of vehicles outside of towns and cities. Meanwhile, Yekaterian passenger rail transportation is highly dominated by the operator [[Yekaterské Železnice]] (YŽ), although smaller lines are run by [[Železničné Trate]] (ŽT), and third-party rail operators such as [[Severnice (rail operator)|Severnice]] exist. The [[Intercity Railway (Yekateria)|Intercity Railway]] (M-YŽ) is the largest {{W|High-speed rail|high-speed rail}} service of its kind, serving major Yekaterian cities as well as neighbouring nations such as [[Hallech]] and [[Neilreich]], with speeds of up to 650 km/h (403 mph). The largest Yekaterian airports are the [[Ryan Lukas Hochhahn International Aeroport]] and the [[Philip-Alexander International Aeroport]] in the major cities of [[Nataliska]] and [[Xanderholm]] respectively.

Yekateria is the largest consumer of energy in the entire universe, due to its massive size spanning several galaxies. The country's energy generation mix is quite diverse, including {{W|Dyson sphere|Dyson spheres}}, {{W|Fusion power|fusion power}}, {{W|Hydropower|hydropower}}, {{W|Solar panel|solar power}}, {{W|Wind power|wind power}}, and {{W|Geothermal energy|geothermal power}}. The latter five are largely enough to meet the energy needs of Yekateria's civilian population, whilst Dyson spheres are primarily used to generate power for the nation's massive manufacturing base. The Yekaterian government has historically committed and currently commits to supporting biodiversity, low emission standards, and {{W|Water management|water management}} through government policies, and the country has been known to have high rates of recycling with over 80% recycling rates per year.

===Tourism===
[[File:Xanderholm with Riverwheel.png|thumb|267x267px|The [[Riverwheel]] in [[Xanderholm]]]]
{{Main|Tourism in Yekateria}}
Despite historically receiving a measly few million visitors per year, Yekateria has recently embarked on a process of opening up tourism to other nations and expanding the number of available tourist destinations available to foreigners. However, domestic tourism is a massive contributor to the Yekaterian economy, resulting in over 740 quadrillion Korunas to the Yekaterian economy. Including induced and indirect impacts, the tourism industry supports over 20 billion jobs.

Yekateria's most visited and popular landmarks include the [[Ruined Castle of Xanderholm]], the [[Palace of the Revolution]], the old [[Kremlyna Palace]], the [[Great Pauli Hall]], the [[Chernomore Coast]], the {{W|French Riviera|Aquitainean Riviera}}, and the various ski resorts of the {{W|Carpathian Mountains|Karpatya}} Mountains. The [[YekaPark]] network of entertainment parks is one of the largest park franchises in the entire universe.

==Demographics==
{{Main|Demographics of Yekateria|Yekaterians}}
With a population of 23.78 trillion according to the [[2400 Yekaterian census]], and increasing to 24.75 trillion as of 2383, Yekateria is the most populous country in the Alpha system and the second-most populous in the universe after the [[United Empire]]. Its population density stands at 0.000000000000023167985 inhabitants per square kilometre based on its total area, largely due to its intergalactic nature and the concentration of its population in several core systems. The total fertility rate currently stands at 3.7 children born per parent, with the population expected to grow in later years in light of several government incentives.

As a result of the country having transitioned from a unitary state to a federation, several people groups are classed as national minorities due to their historical proximity and connections with Yekateria. For instance, the [[Carsiphians]] are a Turkic ethnic group residing within the inner territories of the constituent republic of Yekateria, the [[Semlani]] in Western Xandersko, the [[Khazaqs]] in Malensia, and the [[Sēmē (ethnicity)|Sēmē]] in Northern Kalysia.

Yekateria contains over 67 urban conurbations such as the [[Yevanska-Yekaterania metro area]] and contains many large metropolises within its borders. The country's largest city is [[Xanderholm]], while the largest urban area is the [[Preszov Bay]] metropolitan region.
{{Largest cities of Yekateria}}

===Language===
{{Main|Yekaterian language|Languages of Yekateria}}
Yekaterian is the official and predominant spoken language in Yekateria. With over 18 trillion native speakers, it is one of the most commonly spoken languages in the universe and is an official language of diplomacy, together with {{W|English language|English}}.

As a multi-ethnic federation, however, several other languages are recognised as co-official; namely [[Neilan language|Neilan]], [[Malensch Germarian]], and [[Kalysk language|Kalysk]]. Other recognised minority languages include {{W|French}}, {{W|English}}, [[Alban Gaelic]], [[Vallachian language|Vallachian]], and [[Staryslava]]. Yekaterians are typically multilingual: 93% of Yekaterian citizens claim to communicate in at least one foreign language and 62% in at least two.

===Education===
{{Main|Education in Yekateria}}
[[File:Yekaterania State University.jpg|alt=Main university administration building of Yekaterania State University.|thumb|225x225px|[[Yekaterania State University]], the oldest modern university in the country (established 1845)]]
The educational system within Yekateria begins with {{W|Kindergarten|kindergarten}} between the ages of 1–5 years old, followed by 12 years of primary and secondary education. Secondary education is divided into lower and upper secondary education, with the latter being divided into tracks based on {{W|Vocational education|vocational}} or {{W|College-preparatory school|academic}} fields, leading into the ''Všekval'' examinations at the age of 18. As part of pre-''Všekval'' preparations, students going through the {{W|Vocational education|vocational track}} are also provided apprenticeship opportunities, whilst students undergoing the {{W|College-preparatory school|academic track}} are instead holistically assessed based on factors such as extra-curricular activities and weighted-average academic grades.

Educational responsibility is divided between the [[Federal Government of Yekateria|Federal Government]] and the individual [[Constituent republics of Yekateria|republic]], with the curriculum varying based on local needs and resources, with the [[Yekaterian Federal Department of Education|Federal Department of Education]] setting federal standards for the academic curriculum and testing. Schools are primarily funded from a mix of public and private funding, as is the case for public universities such as [[Yekaterania State University]], the [[Federal State Colleges Union]], and the [[University of Filipsburg-Xanderholm]], among others. In terms of school facilities and benefits, meanwhile, {{W|School meal|school lunch}} is provided through a small monthly fee paid for by the student's parents or guardians with subsidies in place for lower-income students.

Statistically, over 96% of Yekaterian people held a {{W|Tertiary education|tertiary degree}} as of 2386, making the country among the top three in the universe in that category. Historically, education was completely free – however this benefit was rescinded following the country's economic liberalisation. With recent reforms aimed at improving societal welfare, though, tuition subsidies have recently been increased.

===Health===
{{Main|Healthcare in Yekateria}}
[[File:Nataliska North City Hospital.jpg|alt=Aerial view of Nataliska North City Hospital|thumb|225x225px|Nataliska North City Hospital, one of the largest hospitals in the country built in the 2200s.]]
Healthcare in Yekateria is funded by a mix of public and private funding, with {{W|Primary care|primary}} and {{W|Secondary care|secondary}} care being heavily subsidised resulting in more needful Yekaterian citizens having completely free healthcare, and those with higher incomes paying a small {{W|Copayment|copayment}} for the use of primary and secondary public and private healthcare services. Historically, Yekaterian healthcare was highly centralised with {{W|Universal health care|universal healthcare}} being the norm; however following the [[2340s Yekaterian coronavirus pandemic|2340s coronavirus pandemic]], healthcare has been highly decentralised with private healthcare providers being as common as public counterparts.

In recent decades, {{W|Health equity|healthcare access}} was a major issue due to high upfront costs for accessing healthcare services, with instances of suicide arising from health-related debt. As such, public healthcare services have been on the rise, prioritised by recent governments.

Public healthcare is overseen by the co-equal health agencies [[Federal Healthcare Institute of Yekateria|Federal Healthcare Institute]] and the [[Federal Healthcare Alliance of Yekateria|Federal Healthcare Alliance]], with overall public healthcare policy being overseen by the [[Yekaterian Federal Department of Health|Federal Department of Health]]. Despite such challenges, the quality of healthcare overall in Yekateria remains high, with the country boasting low infant mortality rates and high life expectancy. Healthcare spending accounted for around 5% of GDP in recent years, reflecting the government’s commitment to improving access and quality of care.

==Culture==
{{Main|Culture of Yekateria}}Historically known for its {{W|Social conservatism|socially conservative}} and {{W|Socialist economics|economically socialist}} outlook, reforms undertaken by leaders such as [[Natalia Malenkova]] and [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]] brought Yekateria towards more {{W|Ordoliberalism|ordoliberal}} economic principles. Such reforms brought a rise in advocacy for more {{W|Progressivism|progressive}} causes, bringing Yekateria into the forefront of universal progress. While topics such as [[Religion in Yekateria|religion]] are seen as taboo due to its perceived backwardness, other topics, such as {{W|Human sexuality|sexuality}} are widely respected and upheld. Yekateria widely recognises {{W|Domestic partnership|domestic partnerships}} irregardless of orientation, with cohabitation and bigamous relationships being not too uncommon.

Yekateria is also a universal leader in [[Timeline of Yekaterian innovations|scientific and technological innovation]], [[Sport in Yekateria|sport]], [[List of Yekaterian musicians|classical and modernist music]], as well as in the operatic scene, among others. With its long and storied history, the country is also home to hundreds of [[List of historical landmarks in Yekateria|historical landmarks]] ranging from culturally significant locations to exquisite natural sites. The [[Sybyllan eagle]], a native species of {{W|Eagle|eagle}}, is the country's national symbol and features on the country's [[Coat of arms of Yekateria|coat of arms]] throughout history. Originally used derisively, the term "Yekky" is a popular word used to refer to [[Yekaterian people|Yekaterians]] and things from Yekateria, often by foreigners.

===Holidays ===
{{Main|National holidays of Yekateria}}
[[File:Fireworks in Tyshenkovo.jpg|left|thumb|267x267px|[[Yekateria Day]] fireworks in Yekateria]]
Yekateria celebrates numerous unique {{W|Holiday|holidays}}, largely based on those of old European tradition. For instance, the [[May Day of Labour]], held on the first of May, is largely dedicated to celebrating the start of summer, along with its socialist connotations as a day commemorating the {{W|Labour movement|labour movement}}. Another such holiday was influenced by the [[Great July Revolution of Yekateria|Great July Revolution]], that being the ''Day of Gift-giving'', also known as [[Rozdarce]], being a secular alternative to {{W|Christmas|Christmas}}.

11 July is the [[Yekateria Day|National Day of Yekateria]], held to commemorate the [[Great July Revolution of Yekateria|Great July Revolution]] in 2048, and the victory of the nascent Malenkovist revolutionaries exactly two years later. The day is also celebrated in the form of a [[Great July Revolution Parade]], involving a [[Federálvorusil|military]], civilian, and youth element. A similarly celebrated holiday is that of [[Yekaterian Unity Day|Unity Day]], marking the formation of the modern Yekateria and the signing of the [[Federation Treaty of the Yekaterian Federation|Federation Treaty]] on 1 January, in 1901 and 2235 respectively. Other nationally celebrated holidays include that of {{W|International Women's Day}} on 8 March, [[Defender of the Homeland Day]] on 2 August, and the [[Day of Equality]] on 24 September.

In addition to national holidays, each of Yekateria's [[Constituent republics of Yekateria|41 constituent republics]] celebrates its own [[Republic Day (Yekateria)|Republic Day]], commemorating the republic's accession to the Federation. Each republic also celebrates its own ethnic holidays based on its local demographics.

===Art and architecture===
{{Main|Architecture of Yekateria|Yekaterian artists}}
[[File:Central Xanderholm Skyscrapers.png|thumb|267x267px|[[Xanderholm Central Train Station]], one of the largest free-standing roof structures in the country.]]Yekaterian art was historically influenced by the numerous cultures and ethnicities living within and ruling over its borders, beginning with [[Kingdom of Saryuhrad|Saryuhradan]] {{W|Icon|icons}} and {{W|Fresco|frescos}} following the Christianisation of Yekateria in the early 1000s to the modern futuro-realism styles of the 24th century. Following the [[Carsiphian Wars of Conquest]] in the 1270s, {{W|Anatolian rug|Carsiphian rug}} and tapestries became commonplace, with rug-makers spreading outwards from the Carsiphian capital of [[Carsiphisk']]. Following the [[Saryuhradan War of Restoration]], original Saryuhradan art was readapted following laws by the newly prevailing [[Kremsvol' dynasty]].

The country saw the opening of its first art academy, the [[Yekaterian Federal Academy of the Arts]] in an effort to bring about a new age of artistic creations, with notable graduates being [[Abram Kaverin]], [[Leonid Prokhorov]], and [[Timofey Bogolyubov]]. Romanticist paintings were largely popular for the early Saryugradan era, with [[Alexander Zhuravlev]] being one such notable painter. However, in response to academic restrictions in the late 19th–early 20th century, a movement of {{W|Realism (arts)|realist}} painters, led by artists such as [[Vadim Znamensky]], [[Artem Kholodny]], and [[Emilian Trofimov]]. Art in the style of socialist realism became popular following the [[1912 Revolution (Yekateria)|1912 Revolution]], brought on by the Communists' desire to purge the country of what was then seen as "decadent" and "bourgeois" art.

The [[architecture of Yekateria]] began as woodcraft buildings built by the [[Duchy of Saryuhrad]] and its predecessor feudal kingdoms before the 12th century, with architecture from the Christianisation of Yekateria largely being influenced by wooden churches being built across the cold climes of Sybylla, similarly to their eventual compatriots in [[Malensia (YF)|Malensia]] and [[Kalysia (YF)|Kalysia]]. After the [[Carsiphian Wars of Conquest]], however, architecture was largely influenced by Carsipho-Turanic architecture. Notable Carsipho-Saryuhradan architects of the time include [[Talgat Akhmetov]] and [[Farid Khasanov]]. Following the Saryuhradan Revival and the [[Saryuhradan National Revolution]], however, the country saw a neoclassical revival movement influenced by the northern kingdoms which escaped Carsiphian takeover. Over the 20th century, prominent styles included {{W|Art Noveau|Art Noveau}} and {{W|Constructivism (art)|Constructivism}}, with {{W|Stalinist architecture|Socialist Classicism}}. Following the [[Yekaterian Civil War (2048-2050)|Yekaterian Civil War]], [[Socialist Revival]] was a prominent style going into the 22nd century.

===Literature and philosophy===
{{Main|Yekaterian literature|Yekaterian philosophy|Yekaterian philosophers}}
[[File:Anna Shevchenko portrait.jpg|thumb|250x250px|[[Anna Shevchenko]] (2320–2383), internationally renowned dissident and writer.]]
[[Yekaterian literature]] is widely regarded as one of the most influential in the universe, with earliest origins being that of epics and chronicles composed in [[Old Saryuhradan]]. Throughout the period of the [[Carsiphian Empire]], however, literature was largely published by the Carsiphian elite; with the Saryuhradan Revival of the early 1800s galvanising Saryuhradan writers across the country into distributing their works en masse. With the optimism brought on by the Revival, writers and poets such as [[Arkady Kolychev]], [[Yaroslav Dolgorukov]], [[Vadim Strakhov]], and [[Daniil Baranov]].

Entering into the later years of the 19th century and the 20th century, short stories and novels became the norm within the Yekaterian literary scene, with writers such as [[Oleg Rodionov]], [[Irina Kovalchuk]], [[Roman Drozdenko]], and [[Yakov Muranov]] coming to the fore. Over the following century and a half, rapid changes within Yekaterian society and governance resorted in the mass popularity of non-fiction literature highlighting social issues of the day, with writers such as [[Svetlana Rozhkova]] gaining fame for her literary works critical of the ultranationalist movement of the late 1990s and early 2000s, resulting in her politically motivated prosecution. Today, such works highlighting the shortcomings of Yekaterian society are still widely popular; with [[Anna Shevchenko]], a notable political dissident and non-fiction writer, becoming internationally renowned for her fight for transparent governance.

[[Yekaterian philosophy]] has been universally influential. [[Grigory Tarkovsky]] is known as one of the fathers of the Yekaterian agrarian socialist movement, whose ideas were later adopted by revolutionary [[Vladimir Lenislav]] into the era known as [[First Communist Yekateria]]. [[Vera Sorokina]], a close protege of Dyleson-Kremsvolian era prime minister [[Artur Kolesov]], has been regarded as the earliest advocate for {{W|Direct democracy|direct democracy}} within the then-largely parliamentary government. [[Petrov Zamarkyov]] and [[Peter Malenkov]] are widely regarded as fathers of [[Malenkovism]], initially a variant of communism, later developing into its own ideology. [[Mikaela Andersen]], the longest serving [[Yekaterian Federal Department of State|Federal Secretary of State]] in the 24th century, has been regarded as the "torchbearer of regime change".

===Cuisine===
{{Main|Yekaterian cuisine}}
[[File:Pelmeni Dish in Yekateria.jpeg|left|thumb|225x225px|{{W|Pelmeni|Pelmeni}}, a dish originating from the Sybyllan region.]][[Yekaterian cuisine]] has long relied on the country's climate, cultural traditions, and the vast geography of the country; it has a wide range of dishes changing based on the local geography and landscape. Drawing inspiration from Slavic, Nordic, and Germanic roots, Yekaterian cuisine is an amalgamation of hearty, rustic flavors and refined culinary techniques. The diverse climate of Yekateria, ranging from cold northern regions to more temperate southern and western areas, influences the ingredients and cooking methods used in different parts of the country.

In north-eastern regions of Yekateria, the cuisine is characterised by robust and warming dishes, designed to combat the harsh winters. Root vegetables such as {{W|Potato|potatoes}}, {{W|Carrot|carrots}}, and {{W|Beetroot|beets}}, along with cabbages and mushrooms, form the backbone of many meals. Traditional dishes like {{W|Borscht|borscht}}, a beet soup enriched with sour cream, and {{W|Pelmeni|pelmeni}}, delicate meat-filled dumplings, are staples. Fish, particularly from the abundant rivers and lakes, is often smoked or pickled, offering a smoky and tangy profile that complements the flavors of the vegetables.

Moving to the central and southern regions, the cuisine becomes more varied and incorporates a wider range of produce due to the more temperate climate. Fresh herbs, tomatoes, cucumbers, and a variety of fruits become more prominent. Dishes such as {{W|Shashlik|shashlik}}, marinated and grilled skewers of meat, and {{W|Blini|blini}}, thin pancakes often filled with savory or sweet ingredients, are popular. The influence of neighboring countries is evident in the use of dairy products like cheese and cream, enriching many traditional recipes.

Cultural traditions also play a significant role in Yekaterian cuisine, with many dishes being prepared for specific holidays and celebrations. {{W|Bread|Bread}}, considered a symbol of hospitality, is often served with every meal, ranging from simple rye loaves to intricate pastries. Festivals and family gatherings feature elaborate feasts with dishes that have been passed down through generations, preserving the rich culinary heritage of Yekateria. The combination of regional ingredients, cultural traditions, and historical influences are a vibrant and integral part of the country's identity.

===Media===
{{Main|Media of Yekateria|Cinema of Yekateria}}
[[File:Yekaterian Radiotelevision News Building.png|thumb|267x267px|Headquarters of [[Yekaterská Rádiotelevízia]] in Xanderholm]]Yekaterians are wide consumers of more traditional forms of media, such as the {{W|Newspaper|newspaper}} and {{W|News broadcasting|news broadcasts}}, with both forms of media being the historical norm of information communication within the country and between the ruling government of the day and the people. The country's four largest newspapers are ''[[Federálny Expres]]'' (liberal conservative), ''[[Natsiya Segodnya]]'' (liberal), ''[[Yekaterský Kuriér]]'' (conservative), and ''[[Moderná Federácia]]'' (social democratic). Besides the national language of [[Yekaterian language|Yekaterian]], the major newspapers also publish in the nation's other recognised languages such as [[Neilan language|Neilan]], [[Malensch Germarian]], and [[Kalysk language|Kalysk]].

The country's public broadcasting landscape is dominated by [[Yekaterská Rádiotelevízia]] and [[Telerádio Yekaterská]], in operation since 1943 and 2210 respectively. The former has been a mainstay of the national media landscape, whilst the latter evolved from local public {{W|Television station|television stations}} amalgamated in a national cooperative since the early 23rd century.

{{W|Commercial broadcasting|Commercial radio and television broadcasting}} began to flourish following small reforms in the 2180s and further reforms in the 2260s, with the first commercial television network being that of [[Televízia Zelenovo]] (ZTV) under the state-owned corporation [[Zelenovo Group]], followed by individual private companies such as [[Národná Televízia]] (NTV) and [[Malenkovske Rozhlasový Systém]] (MRS).

The entire country is fully connected to cable television, largely due to previous incentives by the Yekaterian government.

===Sports===
{{Main|Sport in Yekateria}}{{W|Basketball|Basketball}} is a largely popular sport in Yekateria, with the [[National Basketball League of Yekateria|National Basketball League]] being the most-watched professional sporting league in the country as well as other nations within the universe. Within the League, the [[SSN Nataliska Bears|SSN KM "Nataliska Bears"]] has been a longtime champion, holding the championship title continuously between 2302 and 2310. Affiliated leagues include the [[National High School Basketball League]], with notable former players for the league including former chancellor [[Jonas Katterfeld]].

{{W|Ice hockey|Ice hockey}}, {{W|Bandy|bandy}}, and {{W|Football|football}} ranks roughly equally behind basketball as the second-most popular sports in Yekateria, with their respective leagues pulling hundreds of billions of spectators in their annual seasons. For instance, the [[Yekaterian national hockey team]] has frequently won in friendly matches against other countries. In recent years, motorsports have seen an increased interest within the country.

The '''2400 Yekaterian presidential election''' was the 73nd federal presidential election held in [[Yekateria]]. It took place on two days, on 3 November and 4 December 2400. Incumbent vice president and [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity]] candidate [[Karl Freitag]] emerged victorious in the second round, defeating [[Federalist Party (Yekateria)|Federalist]] candidate [[Thomas-Anton Lindeman]] by 2.04 percentage points, winning by a decisive majority. Whilst eligible for a third term, incumbent president [[Karl-Alexander Rynsbürgen]] chose not to seek a third term. In an unprecedented situation, the first round votes faced delays in counting, pushing the second round date to 4 December. As a result of attacks on ballot stations in areas of the Federation in the second round, second round votes were not decisively counted until 14 January 2401, with the Electoral College votes being finalised on 20 January. With the term of incumbent president [[Karl-Alexander Rynsbürgen]] having ended on 10 January 2401, [[Federal People's Assembly of Yekateria|Federal People's Assembly]] chairman [[Sam Odenberg]] served as [[Acting Federal President of Yekateria|Acting Federal President]] from 10 January to 1 February 2401, when election winner [[Karl Freitag]] was inaugurated.

Federal executive departments of the Yekaterian Federation

2026-09-18T18:52:20Z

Sammie Biscuits:

{{Short description|Primary unit of the executive branch of the federal government of the Yekaterian Federation}} {{Icons|Yekateria}}
{{Politics of Yekateria}}

The '''Federal executive departments of the Yekaterian Federation''' are the primary organs that make up the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]], the executive branch of the [[Federal Government of Yekateria|Federal Government of the Yekaterian Federation]]. Comprising 17 federal departments, two department-level offices, and four department-level agencies, the federal executive department heads are legally equal, with the [[Federal President of Yekateria|Federal President]] and [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|Federal Chancellor]] being {{W|Primus inter pares|''first among equals''}} and as co-chairpersons representing the Council in its entirety. The heads of the federal executive departments are typically serving legislators by convention; however, they are typically expected to appoint an alternate member to take over their legislative duties by precedent and may sometimes not be a member of the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]].

Heads of the federal departments, with the exception of the Federal Presidency and Federal Chancellery, are selected by the two co-chairs with the {{W|Advice and consent|advice and consent}} of the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]]. All heads of the federal departments are referred as, with the exception of the Federal Attorney General, as "Federal Secretary" of the department of which they are in charge of. While the heads of the federal departments serve at the pleasure of the Federal President and Federal Chancellor, dismissal of a federal secretary only occurs should a particular secretary commit crimes worthy of {{W|Impeachment|impeachment}} and typically requires the consent of the coalition parties comprising the cabinet before a dismissal is carried out.

== Overview ==

=== Structure ===

Each department is headed by a {{W|Secretary (title)|secretary}} whose name follows the title of their respective department, with the exception of the [[Federal Department of Justice (Yekateria)|Federal Department of Justice]] whose head is known as the [[Yekaterian Federal Attorney General|attorney general]]. The heads of the executive departments, whom while may be appointed by the president ''de jure'', are ''de facto'' chosen by the incumbent governing coalition, with the president having further legal influence in the appointments of the [[Federal Department of Defence (Yekateria)|secretary of defence]] and [[Federal Department of State (Yekateria)|secretary of state]] as prescribed by the constitution. The heads of the executive departments, with the exception of the Federal Presidency and Federal Chancellery who are elected by popular vote, are subject to the {{W|Advice and consent|advice and consent}} of the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate of the Yekaterian Federation]] and serve at the pleasure of the cabinet through consensus. In the Executive Composition Clause (Article I, section 5, clause 1) of the [[Federal Constitution of the Yekaterian Federation|Federal Constitution of Yekateria]], the heads of the government departments are referred to as "leading officer of their respective department".

=== Succession ===

The heads of executive departments are included in the line of succession to the president, in the event of a vacancy in the presidency, after the vice president, the chancellor, the vice chancellor, the chairman of the Federal Assembly, the president of the Senate, and the speaker of the House. They are included in order of their respective department's formation, with the vice chancellery taking precedence over a secretarial position held by the same person.

=== Precedent ===

Whilst secretaries are legally beholden to the [[Federal President of Yekateria|federal president]] and [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|federal chancellor]], they hold a significant degree of autonomy by precedent from cabinets since 2350 as a result of the numerous political crises and coalition agreements formed in the intervening years. As such, while secretaries may be dismissed at any time by the president and/or chancellor, they are typically only removed through the explicit agreement of the coalition parties and other members representing the same party of the secretary proposed for removal.

A similar effect of the above-mentioned established precedent places the secretaries ''de facto'' on an equal footing as the federal presidency and federal chancellery, giving them significant autonomy to administer the departments of which they are in charge of, barring legal challenges towards the execution of federal policy and/or regulation as well as impeachment motions against them.

Federal executive departments of the Yekaterian Federation

{{Short description|Primary unit of the executive branch of the federal government of the Yekaterian Federation}} {{Icons|Yekateria}}
{{Politics of Yekateria}}

The '''Federal executive departments of the Yekaterian Federation''' are the primary organs that make up the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]], the executive branch of the [[Federal Government of Yekateria|Federal Government of the Yekaterian Federation]]. Comprising 17 federal departments, two department-level offices, and four department-level agencies, the federal executive department heads are legally equal, with the [[Federal President of Yekateria|Federal President]] and [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|Federal Chancellor]] being {{W|Primus inter pares|''first among equals''}} and as co-chairpersons representing the Council in its entirety. The heads of the federal executive departments are typically serving legislators by convention; however, they are typically expected to appoint an alternate member to take over their legislative duties by precedent and may sometimes not be a member of the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]].

Heads of the federal departments, with the exception of the Federal Presidency and Federal Chancellery, are selected by the two co-chairs with the {{W|Advice and consent|advice and consent}} of the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]]. All heads of the federal departments are referred as, with the exception of the Federal Attorney General, as "Federal Secretary" of the department of which they are in charge of. While the heads of the federal departments serve at the pleasure of the Federal President and Federal Chancellor, dismissal of a federal secretary only occurs should a particular secretary commit crimes worthy of {{W|Impeachment|impeachment}} and typically requires the consent of the coalition parties comprising the cabinet before a dismissal is carried out.

== Overview ==

=== Structure ===

Each department is headed by a {{W|Secretary (title)|secretary}} whose name follows the title of their respective department, with the exception of the [[Federal Department of Justice (Yekateria)|Federal Department of Justice]] whose head is known as the [[Yekaterian Federal Attorney General|attorney general]]. The heads of the executive departments, whom while may be appointed by the president ''de jure'', are ''de facto'' chosen by the incumbent governing coalition, with the president having further legal influence in the appointments of the [[Federal Department of Defence (Yekateria)|secretary of defence]] and [[Federal Department of State (Yekateria)|secretary of state]] as prescribed by the constitution. The heads of the executive departments, with the exception of the Federal Presidency and Federal Chancellery who are elected by popular vote, are subject to the {{W|Advice and consent|advice and consent}} of the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate of the Yekaterian Federation]] and serve at the pleasure of the cabinet through consensus. In the Executive Composition Clause (Article I, section 5, clause 1) of the [[Federal Constitution of the Yekaterian Federation|Federal Constitution of Yekateria]], the heads of the government departments are referred to as "leading officer of their respective department".

=== Succession ===

The heads of executive departments are included in the line of succession to the president, in the event of a vacancy in the presidency, after the vice president, the chancellor, the vice chancellor, the chairman of the Federal Assembly, the president of the Senate, and the speaker of the House. They are included in order of their respective department's formation, with the vice chancellery taking precedence over a secretarial position held by the same person.

=== Precedent ===

Whilst secretaries are legally beholden to the [[Federal President of Yekateria|federal president]] and [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|federal chancellor]], they hold a significant degree of autonomy by precedent from cabinets since 2350 as a result of the numerous political crises and coalition agreements formed in the intervening years. As such, while secretaries may be dismissed at any time by the president and/or chancellor, they are typically only removed through the explicit agreement of the coalition parties and other members representing the same party of the secretary proposed for removal.

A similar effect of the above-mentioned established precedent places the secretaries ''de facto'' on an equal footing as the federal presidency and federal chancellery, giving them significant autonomy to administer the departments of which they are in charge of, barring legal challenges towards the execution of federal policy and/or regulation as well as impeachment motions against them.

'''Thomas Aspen-Malenkov''' ({{Small|Yekaterian:}} [tɒmas asbən-malənkɒʊ̯]; born 15 February 2340) is a [[Yekateria|Yekaterian]] retired politician and military officer, serving as Chair of the [[Joint Chiefs of Staff of Yekateria|Joint Chiefs of Staff]] since 2391. In his political career, he served as a former [[Federal President of Yekateria|Acting Federal President of the Yekaterian Federation]], serving in the capacity from 25 February 2376 to 9 April 2376. He was also a former leadership member of the [[Federalist Party of Yekateria|Federalist Party]], serving as the 41st Vice President, and serving alongside Vice Presidents [[Karl-Alexander Rynsbürgen]], [[Nico de Rynsburger-Hess]], [[Sébastien Laurens]], [[Filips Filipavicius]], and [[Andreas Scheidermann]].

Born in Filipsburg, Xandersko to Julian Aspen and Maria Aspen-Malenkova, Aspen-Malenkov is a member of the Malenkov political dynasty through his matrilineal line. He had his elementary, middle, and high schooling in the Filipsburg State School, before obtaining a degree in Political Sciences from the University of Filipsburg-Xanderholm in 2363. He later joined the Federalist Party and espoused strong business views, and eventually being promoted to Party President in 2365 after [[Edyta Mikhailovna]]'s retirement from the position.

He unsuccessfully ran for President in the 2370 and 2375 elections despite winning the popular vote in the latter election, resulting in a compromise that saw him being appointed as Second Vice President starting from 2376. As part of an earlier compromise between the Federalist and Solidarity parties, Aspen-Malenkov also served as Defense Secretary between 2366 and 2391.

Aspen-Malenkov has been a rallying figure for younger upper-middle class Yekaterians due to his relatively wealthy upbringing and his pro-business stance. He is also the first ever high-level politician in recent decades to also actively serve in the [[Federal Armed Forces of Yekateria|Federálvorusil]], gaining support from Yekaterians serving in the armed forces.

== Early life ==
Aspen-Malenkov was born in Filipsburg, Xandersko on 15 February 2340 to Julian Aspen, an [[Fedebanka (Yekateria)|FDB]] investment banker and Maria Aspen-Malenkova, a marketing executive. Aspen-Malenkov is a member of the Malenkov Family through his mother, being the great-great-grandson of prominent Yekaterian leader [[Natalia Malenkova]]. Through his familial connections, he became exposed to the world of business and politics.

For his education, Thomas attended the prestigious Filipsburg State School, where he excelled academically and demonstrated strong leadership qualities. After completing his secondary education, he actively served in the voluntary military service from 2359 to 2360, and attended the Ivan A. Malenkov Command College in 2363 on a part-time basis, followed by a part-time service in the Armed Forces ever since.

Following his active military service, Thomas pursued higher education at the renowned University of Filipsburg-Xanderholm. He enrolled in the university in 2360 and pursued a degree in Political Sciences. During his time at the university, he actively participated in various extracurricular activities, including student organisations and debate clubs, where he honed his skills in critical thinking, diplomacy, and public speaking. In 2363, Thomas completed his studies, graduating with a degree in Political Sciences and formally joined the [[Federalist Party (Yekateria)|Federalist Party]].

'''Thomas Aspen-Malenkov''' ({{Small|Yekaterian:}} [tɒmas asbən-malənkɒʊ̯]; born 15 February 2340) is a [[Yekateria|Yekaterian]] retired politician and military officer, serving as Chair of the [[Joint Chiefs of Staff of Yekateria|Joint Chiefs of Staff]] since 2391. In his political career, he served as a former [[Federal President of Yekateria|Acting Federal President of the Yekaterian Federation]], serving in the capacity from 25 February 2376 to 9 April 2376. He was also a former leadership member of the [[Federalist Party of Yekateria|Federalist Party]], serving as the 41st Vice President, and serving alongside Vice Presidents [[Karl-Alexander Rynsbürgen]], [[Nico de Rynsburger-Hess]], [[Sébastien Laurens]], [[Filips Filipavicius]], and [[Andreas Scheidermann]].

Born in Filipsburg, Xandersko to Julian Aspen and Maria Aspen-Malenkova, Aspen-Malenkov is a member of the Malenkov political dynasty through his matrilineal line. He had his elementary, middle, and high schooling in the Filipsburg State School, before obtaining a degree in Political Sciences from the University of Filipsburg-Xanderholm in 2363. He later joined the Federalist Party and espoused strong business views, and eventually being promoted to Party President in 2365 after [[Edyta Mikhailovna]]'s retirement from the position.

He unsuccessfully ran for President in the 2370 and 2375 elections despite winning the popular vote in the latter election, resulting in a compromise that saw him being appointed as Second Vice President starting from 2376. As part of an earlier compromise between the Federalist and Solidarity parties, Aspen-Malenkov also served as Defense Secretary between 2366 and 2391.

Aspen-Malenkov has been a rallying figure for younger upper-middle class Yekaterians due to his relatively wealthy upbringing and his pro-business stance. He is also the first ever high-level politician in recent decades to also actively serve in the [[Federal Armed Forces of Yekateria|Federálvorusil]], gaining support from Yekaterians serving in the armed forces.

== Early life ==
Aspen-Malenkov was born in Filipsburg, Xandersko on 15 February 2340 to Julian Aspen, an [[Fedebanka (Yekateria)|FDB]] investment banker and Maria Aspen-Malenkova, a marketing executive. Aspen-Malenkov is a member of the Malenkov Family through his mother, being the great-great-grandson of prominent Yekaterian leader [[Natalia Malenkova]]. Through his familial connections, he became exposed to the world of business and politics.

For his education, Thomas attended the prestigious Filipsburg State School, where he excelled academically and demonstrated strong leadership qualities. After completing his secondary education, he actively served in the voluntary military service from 2359 to 2360, and attended the Ivan A. Malenkov Command College in 2363 on a part-time basis, followed by a part-time service in the Armed Forces ever since.

Following his active military service, Thomas pursued higher education at the renowned University of Filipsburg-Xanderholm. He enrolled in the university in 2360 and pursued a degree in Political Sciences. During his time at the university, he actively participated in various extracurricular activities, including student organisations and debate clubs, where he honed his skills in critical thinking, diplomacy, and public speaking. In 2363, Thomas completed his studies, graduating with a degree in Political Sciences and formally joined the [[Federalist Party (Yekateria)|Federalist Party]].

'''Lukas Hochburger''' ({{Small|Yekaterian:}} [''/lʊkəs: hoxˈbʏrgʏɛr/'']; born 4 May 2344) is a [[Yekateria|Yekaterian]] [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity]] politician currently serving as the [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|Federal Chancellor of the Yekaterian Federation]] since 2406. His most recent previous position was as a [[Federal Vice Chancellor of Yekateria]] from July 2398 to 2406, having also held the same position from January 2391 to January 2396. He also serves as a Federal Deputy representing the Federal Cities in the Yekateria Hill-Xanderholm Malenkovské constituency. He previously served as the 39th [[Federal President of Yekateria|president of the Yekaterian Federation]] from 2381 to 2391, and as the First Federal Vice President of Yekateria between 2370 to 2381, concurrently as the President of [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity]] from May 2378 to May 2390, and previously as the [[Yekaterian Federal Assembly Leadership|Majority Leader]] in the Yekaterian [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]].

Born to [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]] and [[Ryan Hochhahn]], who both held high political offices in Yekateria, Lukas was destined for a career in politics from an early age. His close proximity to his parents in the halls of power shaped his reformist outlook and commitment to public service, frequently being brought along to meetings with foreign leaders, affairs of state, and public events.

Hochburger quickly made his mark in politics, following in his two fathers' footsteps. He was elected to his father, [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]]'s former seat in the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]] and gained recognition for his leadership skills. Within a year, he was elected as the [[Yekaterian Federal Assembly Leadership|Majority Leader of the House of Federals]], largely due to his reformist agenda and his work in attempting to keep the fractured party factions together prior to the [[Great Defection of 2368]].

In 2370, Hochburger was nominated and elected as the [[Federal Vice President of Yekateria]]. This position positioned him as a potential successor to his father, [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]], who was serving as the President at the time. With his increasing prominence and popularity, he was widely expected to run for the presidency in the upcoming [[2380 Yekaterian federal elections|2380 elections]], continuing the Malenkov family legacy in Yekaterian politics. His presidential candidacy was broadly supported by the left, which had united in support of Hochburger's presidential campaign.

In his tenure as Vice President, he primarily served as his father's right-hand man in the presidential office and often deputised for him in several visits and affairs of state. Furthermore, Hochburger improved relations between the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]] and the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]] by proposing the creation of the Federal Advisory Council, a formal body involving the leaders of Yekateria's executive, legislative, and judiciary branches; together with several other advisors largely consisting of former leaders such as [[Elise Malenkova]] and [[Ivan Honcharuk]].

Following his election as President, Hochburger used his reserved prerogatives in foreign policy to direct a strong shift in the direction of {{W|Realpolitik|''Realpolitik''}} ideals, choosing to put aside historical Yekaterian grievances against monarchism in pursuing further diplomatic relations with the [[United Empire]]. He has also frequently criticised the level of political polarisation in Yekaterian governance, often serving as a mediator between members of the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]] in meetings. During his presidency, Hochburger sought to closely improve coordination between the Federal Presidency and the rest of the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]] by delegating areas of responsibility to the Vice Presidents, becoming the first Yekaterian president to do so. Under the government of his chancellor [[Eleonora Ernman]], Yekateria saw its largest economic growth in decades, with a 12% increase from $5.5 sextillion in January 2381 to $6.2 sextillion in August 2381, as well as seeing increased public tensions and protests over the cost of living. In the realm of foreign politics, Hochburger brought in Yekaterian troops in an intervention led by the international community during the course of the [[Qaanaaq-Novyan War]], directing the [[Federal Armed Forces of Yekateria|Federal Armed Forces]] to neutralise rogue Qaanaaqian forces in the war. Later on, Hochburger participated in the effort to nominate [[Karl Freitag]] as Chancellor following Ernman's resignation.

== Early life and education ==
Lukas Klaas Hochburger was born in {{W|Vienna|Wien}}, [[Neilreich]], then a part of the [[Yekateria|Yekaterian Federation]], to then-president of Yekateria [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]] and rising Neilan-Yekaterian politician [[Ryan Hochhahn]], then serving as the President of Neilreich. Born out of {{W|Surrogacy|surrogacy}}, Hochburger's surrogate mother was the former partner of de Rynsburger, [[Hannah Schmidt]]. He was named after Hochhahn's middle name and was given his last name as a portmanteau of his fathers' last names.

As the son of an incumbent Yekaterian president, Hochburger's birth was widely celebrated in Yekateria, becoming the third president in a row (following his own father and his grandmother [[Andrea de Rynsburger-Malenkova]]) to be born to an incumbent president at their date of birth. At a young age, he was largely cared for by his grandparents, frequently shuttling between Neilreich and Xanderholm over the course of his early years. Hochburger also became a constant subject of interest on social media whenever spotted in public with his parents.

Hochburger's family legacy is of mixed origin – as the son of [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]], he became a member of the 14th generation of the [[Malenkov Family]], the ruling Yekaterian political dynasty since 2050. As a result of international marriages over the decades, Hochburger has ancestors hailing from {{W|British Isles|Britannica}}, the {{W|Low Countries|Laagenlands}}, {{W|Germany|Germaria}}, and {{W|Eastern Europe|Vostoevroya}}. His secondary set of grandparents, Josef and Margaret Hochhahn (née Spitzenberger), are from the Central Region of [[Neilreich]]. Hochburger's primary caretakers during his early years were Margaret Hochhahn and Andrea de Rynsburger; with the former having taught him a lot. Following her death in 2371, Hochburger privately mourned her death together with his fathers.

Following several years of care under his grandparents, Hochburger was eventually sent to Filipsburg where he was educated in the Filipsburg State School and advancing on to the University of Filipsburg-Xanderholm, obtaining a master's degree in political sciences in 2365.

== Early political career ==
Having been born to two prominent leaders, Hochburger was frequently subjected to mass speculation of his future in politics, with media outlets naming him as "Yekateria's future leader" and "the future of the Federation", much to [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]]'s mild annoyance. Hochburger then joined the [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity Party]] following his graduation from the University of Filipsburg-Xanderholm, and quickly became known within the party for his ties to the current leadership and his staunchly pro-reformist proposals. He then ran for his father's seat in the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]] following de Rynsburger's plans to run for president, winning a comfortable majority against opponent Aleš Skalický of the [[Federalist Party (Yekateria)|Federalist Party]]. He was inaugurated on 3 January 2366, following the opening of the 67th [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]].

=== Federal deputy ===
[[File:Lukas-hochburger-v.jpg|thumb|250x250px|Hochburger in 2366]]
Following his election as a federal deputy, Hochburger quickly moved to support new progressive proposals being put forward by fellow party members as well as coalition members from the [[Alliance for Liberal Democracy]], notably co-sponsoring Vice Chancellor [[Anne Laurent]]'s reform bill aimed at improving protections and guarantees for labour unions and union workers. He also advocated for a "total reform" towards a system of governance more aligned with the {{W|Nordic model|Nordic model}}, believing it to be the best balance between workers, corporations, and the consumer.

==== Workers' Fair Share and Democracy Act ====
On 7 September 2366, Hochburger, along with 3,573 co-sponsors in the House and Senate, proposed the ''Workers' Fair Share and Democracy'' Act, a bill which intended to bring increased power for workers in deciding the future of their companies, granting them the ability to negotiate for stock options as a joint group of employees. The bill also sought to foster {{W|Workplace democracy|workplace democracy}} by augmenting merit with the adoption due process and democratic structuring in corporations. The bill was drafted in response to positive results from experiments in workplace democracy in the [[Malenkov Group]] and [[Yekaterian Group]] and was passed with an overwhelming majority by the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]] with 146,375 votes in favour. The bill also passed in the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]] with 109,170 votes in favour.

==== Stability of the Constitution Amendment ====
In the aftermath of the seventeenth rewriting of the [[Federal Constitution of the Yekaterian Federation]], Hochburger, along with several other members of his party, acted to formalise the constitution and avoid a potential recompilation in future by proposing the Stability of the Constitution Amendment as a resolution in the House of Federals. Following intense campaigning in favour of the amendment, Hochburger secured 227,049 votes in favour in the House and unanimous support from the Senate. The passing of the amendment officially dropped the constitutional designation preceding the name of the Federation, changing the ''Seventeenth Yekaterian Federation'' into simply the ''Yekaterian Federation''.

==== Support for trade with URSR ====
In 2369, following Chancellor [[Ryan Hochhahn]] and Vice Chancellor [[Roland Schöfauer]]'s proposals for the next few years of the Federation, Hochburger expressed support for opening up trade with the [[Union of Reninvich Socialist Republics]], seeing them as a potentially valuable partner and left-wing ally given Yekateria's left-leaning tendencies. Hochburger worked with fellow House colleagues in order to set the stage for improved relations with the URSR, culminating in the opening of trade and the signing of a non-aggression agreement between the two left-leaning superpowers.

=== Committee assignments ===
Throughout his five years in the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]], Hochburger served in the following committees and subcommittees;

* House Committee on Oversight and Accountability (Non-voting directorial member)
* House Committee on Human Rights and Ombudspersons
** Subcommittee on International Promotion of Rights
* House Committee on Finance
** Subcommittee on Katrina Street Reforms

=== Caucus memberships ===

* House Liberal Solidarists
* House Group for Arts
* House Queer Club

=== Majority Leader of the House of Federals (2367–2371) ===
In the days following then-House Leader Yahontova's announcement of her retirement as Majority Leader, Hochburger promptly announced his running for the position, gaining support from more traditional Malenkovist members of the party due to his family background as well as achieving support from progressive members of the party due to his work in planning and executing reforms. Hochburger was also noted for his efforts to foster closer relationships between party members. As such, he was overwhelmingly elected as the party's majority leader.

==== Tenure ====
As Majority Leader, Hochburger would reorganise the party's flagging strength and discipline, seeking to reunite the party's increasingly splintered factions and form a more unified House Solidarity Caucus. Noting that the party's increase in strength in the [[2365 Yekaterian federal elections]] was largely due to the personal popularities of President [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]] and Chancellor [[Ryan Hochhahn]], he would increase the frequency of the party's "team huddle" meetings and recreation days to improve party morale.

Hochburger's tenure as Majority Leader also saw an increased focus in passing bills aimed at progressive reforms, which alienated the party's Old Malenkovist faction and culminated in the [[Great Defection of 2368]], which saw the party drop to third place in the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]] due to a mass exodus of older party politicians to the [[Federalist Party (Yekateria)|Federalist Party]]. Undeterred by the exodus of politicians, Hochburger continued his reforms and brought in newer members from the party's youth wing.

== Vice presidency (2370–2381) ==
[[File:LukasHochburgerportrait.png|left|thumb|250x250px|Lukas Hochburger's official portrait, 2371]]
In the aftermath of the [[2370 Yekaterian federal elections]], which granted incumbent president [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]] a second term and gave Solidarity 34% of seats, Hochburger was nominated by his father as Vice President. His nomination was approved by the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]], with his inauguration in a private ceremony on 26 November 2370 in the Federal Presidency Building in [[Xanderholm]], and a public ceremony on 10 January 2371 along with the returning members of the [[Second De Rynsburger-Hochhahn cabinet|De Rynsburger-Hochhahn II cabinet]].

=== First term (2370–2376) ===
Whilst initially having been appointed to serve as the first ever Fourth Vice President in seven decades, Hochburger was promoted to the position of First Vice President, succeeding [[William Taylor]], in a move by President de Rynsburger to "prepare the next generation of leaders to manage the Federation". Hochburger became the first vice president in Yekaterian history to also be the son of a sitting president.

As his father's first deputy, Hochburger became immensely involved in the daily running of the state, promoting new policies and reforms to improve government efficiency and the welfare of civil servants working in government. Hochburger's previous experience as the Majority Leader of the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]] also brought closer relationships between House members and the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]], putting Hochburger as the lead negotiator and interlocutor between the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]] and [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]]. This proved especially useful in the various budget crises which would occur in the 2370s with the increasingly disparate policies and focuses between President de Rynsburger and Chancellors [[Ryan Hochhahn]] and [[Thomas-Anton Lindeman]].

Hochburger was also entrusted with the responsibility of meeting with and working with younger reformists, especially due to his position as the first next generation leader in the presidency. Hochburger's efforts in working with reformists eventually brought the creation of the Federal Diversity Initiative, and the Federal Board for Equality in Treatment, the first major step in ending racial discrimination in the Federation.

=== Reelection ===
[[File:Dsc-792616644718087464.jpeg|thumb|250x250px|Hochburger at a campaign fundraising event]]
With the [[2375 Yekaterian federal elections|2375 federal elections]] approaching, Hochburger was officially nominated as the running mate of [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]], who would run for a third and final term as President. Initially, de Rynsburger had planned to step down in the election – but with the party still reeling from the shock caused by the [[International Crisis of 2372 (Yekateria)|International Crisis of 2372]], de Rynsburger opted to run for a third term in order to stabilise the government before allowing for a generational transition.

Hochburger would face off against [[Federalist Party (Yekateria)|Federalist]] candidate [[Thomas-Anton Lindeman|Thomas-Antoine Lindeman]], defending the de Rynsburger administration's record against Lindeman's accusations of fraud and waste, and was seen by the de Rynsburger campaign as the best politician to appeal to reform-minded younger Yekaterians, as opposed to Lindeman's largely yuppie support base. The election ended in a toss-up, with the two candidates achieving very close results in terms of polling and electoral votes. However, with the [[2376 Yekaterian presidential compromise]], the father-son ticket won in exchange for concessions to Federalist candidates [[Thomas Aspen-Malenkov]] and [[Thomas-Anton Lindeman|Thomas-Antoine Lindeman]].

Hochburger was also noted for his constant appearances at schools and youth clubs throughout the electoral campaign period, further showing his attempts to understand the concerns of younger generations of Yekaterians.

=== Second term (2376–2381) ===
Hochburger was sworn in to his second term as vice president on 10 January 2376 at the [[Skavštona Grand Palace]], along with the other members of the new [[Third De Rynsburger-Hochhahn cabinet|De Rynsburger-Hochhahn III cabinet]].

On 7 April 2376, his father [[Ryan Hochhahn]] officially announced his resignation as Chancellor, prompting the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]] to vote on a successor. Having taken part in the negotiations surrounding the [[2376 Yekaterian presidential compromise|2376 presidential compromise]], Hochburger swiftly moved to ensure a stable transition and strong support for [[Thomas-Anton Lindeman|Thomas-Antoine Lindeman]], who was to be chosen as Ryan's successor in the event of his early retirement or resignation. With the approval of Solidarity leadership, the Malenkovist parties formally voted Lindeman in as the next chancellor.

Shortly after Lindeman's accession as chancellor, however, the country would begin to see the [[2376 Yekaterian budgetary crisis]], formed largely due to conflicting campaign promises and planned policies by President de Rynsburger and Chancellor Lindeman. Following repeated attempts to get a coherent budget passed through, the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]] was unable to break through its deadlock, causing the [[2376 Yekaterian government shutdown]]. Realising the severity of the issue, Hochburger teamed up with [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]] Chief of Staff [[Tara de Rynsburger]] to form a working group aimed at bringing closer the increasingly disparate plans and policies of the various federal executive departments, which had massively contributed to the deadlock and subsequent government shutdown. Following a year of proposals and agreement by the Council, Hochburger helped set up the Federal Advisory Council, with party leaders of the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]] being invited to participate.

In the early months of 2376, the Federation also saw the outbreak of the [[Witeshuis-Tikurisitean War]], which saw the Federal Republic of [[Witeshuis (YF)|Witeshuis]] force the Federal Republic of [[Tikurisite (YF)|Tikurisite]] out of its capital of [[Menoria (Tikurisite)|Menoria]] and occupied a third of Tikurisitean territory bordering Witeshuis. Understandably upset by the sudden internal invasion, Hochburger advocated for intervention in the conflict to initial reluctance. Following reports of war crimes being committed by the Witeshuisean forces, however, Hochburger supported his father's efforts in sending massive {{W|Materiel|materiel}} and {{W|Weapon|armament}} support to Tikurisite, eventually resulting in the war's conclusion with a stalemate and ceasefire treaty.

==== Party leadership campaign ====
[[File:Hochburger-Rynsburgen-Freitag poster final.png|left|thumb|200x200px|Hochburger, [[Karl-Alexander Rynsbürgen]], and [[Karl Freitag]]'s leadership campaign poster]]
Prior to the [[2378 Yekaterian midterm elections|2378 midterm elections]], Hochburger as well as then-International Representative [[Karl Freitag]] and then-Senator [[Karl-Alexander Rynsbürgen]] began preparations for their candidacies in the leadership of the [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity Party]]. Having had a wealth of experience from his various positions in the Federal Assembly leadership and as [[Federal Vice President of Yekateria|Federal Vice President]], Lukas was seen as the frontrunner for the position of Party President of the [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity Party]].

The leadership trio easily secured their election as the party's top three leaders, largely due to the high momentum from their successes in administration and foreign policy, as well as their personal popularity, causing a large support for their campaign and their bid for Solidarity's leadership. They were inaugurated on 25 May 2378, with Hochburger becoming the party president.

==== Presidential election campaign ====
{{Main|2380 Yekaterian federal elections}}
Hochburger enjoyed broad popular support across the left-wing parties in Yekateria, particularly from reformist members of [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity]] and the [[Social Democrats of Yekateria|Social Democrats]]. His support of reform and improved foreign relations with other nations in the universe also earned him the support of figures such as [[King-Emperor Vincent Renard]] of Majapahit, who saw him as a potentially great figure for improving [[Yekaterian-Majapahitian relations]]. Domestically, meanwhile, Hochburger gained the endorsement of the other members of the [[Alliance for Liberal Democracy]], as well as that of the [[Ecological Socialists of Yekateria|Ecological Socialists]] and the [[Democratic Unity Party of Yekateria|Democratic Unity Party]]. Thanks to his high personal popularity, Hochburger secured his party's nomination with ease.

He would then face [[Federalist Party (Yekateria)|Federalist]] candidate [[Thomas-Anton Lindeman|Thomas-Antoine Lindeman]] and [[Greater Yekaterian People's Party|People's]] candidate [[Catarina Stanca]] in the first round of the election, with the issues of foreign relations and the continually increasing cost of living being major themes for the election. Unlike Lindeman and Stanca, who largely portrayed these issues as a matter of national security and advocated for more nationalist policies, Hochburger instead chose to portray the issue from the eyes of average Yekaterians. Through this, he was able to portray himself as a leftist-leaning yet pragmatic candidate who had had the people's interests in mind. Hochburger narrowly edged through the first and second rounds, winning 51% of the popular vote in the end.

== Presidency (2381–2391) ==
[[File:LukasPortraitYK.png|thumb|250x250px|Lukas Hochburger's portrait as president]]

=== Inauguration ===
Hochburger was inaugurated as the 39th president of the Yekaterian Federation on 10 January 2381. At 37, he is the first elected Yekaterian president since the 23rd century to have assumed the office above the age of 30, largely due to him putting off the idea of running for president until the mid-2370s. He is also the first man to have been president and vice president since [[Antonie Kovačova]], and the second vice president in the 24th century to have been elected president in a popular election after being vice president. Hochburger is also the first Yekaterian president from the Federal Capital of [[Xanderholm]].

=== First 100 days ===
In his first few days as President, Hochburger signed numerous executive orders, including the awarding of the [[Order of the North Star]] to preceding leaders who served between the 2350s and 2370s, and allowing the usage of the title "''Fmr. President/Vice President/Chancellor/Vice Chancellor of the Federation''" for former leaders. Within the first two months, Hochburger also signed in measures to combat rising housing prices in Yekateria, the lack of affordability for medication and the generally high expenses in the healthcare system, as well as for the provision of subsidised school meals.

Working with Chancellor [[Eleonora Ernman]], Hochburger largely deferred domestic policy execution to Ernman throughout her time as chancellor, signing bills aiming to allow for more competition in sectors previously dominated by public corporations and private conglomerates. Throughout the first 100 days, Hochburger also advocated for a reform of the increasingly unwieldy and complicated Yekaterian regulatory and taxation system and passed laws promoting the growth of the finance and agricultural sectors. He also recognised the need for further implementation of technology into the typical workflow for production, signing executive orders establishing new commissions to study the feasibility of improving production workflow across multiple Yekaterian industries.

=== Domestic policy ===
Following unrelenting increases in the cost of living and the beginning of several riots over the increased costs, as well as the imminent threat of bank failures from Chancellor Ernman's reckless cuts in regulation and taxation, Hochburger and other coalition members of the [[Hochburger-Ernman cabinet]] (excluding the Federalists) considered calling for a {{W|Constructive vote of no confidence|constructive vote of no confidence}} towards Chancellor Ernman's government. However, this was preempted by Ernman's resignation on 25 August 2381, allowing for fresh coalition talks to be held in determining the next chancellor. Hochburger served as mediator throughout the talks, eventually securing the chancellorship for [[Karl Freitag]] in exchange for allowing the Federalists further scrutiny on future plans.

==== Societal Expansion Program ====
In August 2382, Hochburger greenlit the Societal Expansion Program, developed by Vice Chancellors [[Charles Cormier]] and [[Julia Schöfauer-Andersen]], as well as Business and Labour Secretary [[Marta Melikova]], in hopes of boosting Yekateria's population within the next century by 100% following over a decade of stagnating population growth and the shrinking size of Yekaterian families. The ''Societal Expansion Act of 2382'' was passed by a significant margin in the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]], with the act calling for significant investments into family planning, childcare support, educational support, and "creating the perfect conditions for natural family growth".

Largely supported and backed by the [[Alliance for Liberal Democracy]] coalition, as well as minor support from the [[Federalist Party (Yekateria)|Federalists]], Hochburger called for all of Yekaterian society to support the program, calling it "a long-term, medium risk, and high-reward project".

==== The Homes Project ====
[[File:61b7057c34125a22f298fe84 800.jpg|left|thumb|Hochburger visiting a newly constructed {{W|Starter home|starter home}} in [[Yekateryvko]], January 2383]]
Seeking to soften the continuously increasing house prices in Yekateria, Hochburger worked with Second Vice President [[Nico de Rynsburger-Hess]] and First Vice Chancellor [[Julia Schöfauer-Andersen]] in one of the largest starter home and social housing projects of the 24th century, the Homes Project. As part of Hochburger's proposal, which made it into the ''New Homes and Domicile Construction Act of 2382'', he introduced a plan to construct 40 million starter homes within the next 4 years, allocating over 30 trillion Korunas for the plan.

Following the introduction of the ''New Homes and Domicile Construction Act'', Hochburger engaged on a mass public campaign to promote the plan and dissuade potential criticism towards the project. As part of the campaign, he travelled across major cities in Yekateria and personally highlighting potential sites for new starter homes and social housing apartments, aiming to foster a sense of integration with the surrounding community. Despite initial skepticism from critics, Hochburger received praise for his hands-on approach in promoting the project. As such, the ''New Homes and Domicile Construction Act'' passed the Federal Assembly with ease, with Hochburger signing the project and marking its beginning on 14 September 2382.

==== Great Social Society Plan ====
In November 2382, Hochburger approved to the Great Social Society Plan, aiming to fully implement the {{W|Nordic model|Nordic model}} and further integrate {{W|Social democracy|social democracy}} into the Malenkovist system. The plan, co-developed by Chancellor [[Karl Freitag]] and Vice Chancellors [[Julia Schöfauer-Andersen]] and [[Mark Winters]], would see the implementation of a mandatory paid parental leave policy for all parents, improved coordination between the Domovstranka and the Federal Housing Group to tackle homelessness and housing unaffordability, forming the Federal Office for Employment Mediation, cracking down on corruption, and promote a full push towards {{W|Single-payer healthcare|single-payer healthcare}}, among other things.

The plan faced significant opposition from the [[Federalist Party (Yekateria)|Federalist Party]], who argued that the plan would "cause a runaway increase in spending" and "massively worsen inflation". Following meetings between Hochburger, Freitag, and Federalist leaders, however, he was able to secure partial support for the plan.

=== Foreign policy ===
In his inaugural speech, Hochburger described himself as a "realist in foreign policy", and argued that further relations between like-minded nations in the universe was necessary in pushing forward the ideas of {{W|Democracy|democracy}}, the respect for the {{W|General will|general will of the people}}, and the eradication of {{W|Corruption|corruption}} and {{W|Patronage|patronage}} in governments across the universe. Under Hochburger's presidency, Yekateria saw increasingly better relations with nations such as the [[United Empire (GeoRP)|United Empire]] and increased participation in international operations seeking to topple tyrants and rebels.

==== ''Nová Realpolitika'' ====
As part of his reserved powers in the Yekaterian government, Hochburger formulated the ''Nová Realpolitika'' (New ''Realpolitik'') foreign policy, aimed at increasing Yekaterian partnerships with other democracies and constitutional monarchies in the universe. Hochburger also oversaw the further opening of trade relations with the [[United Empire (GeoRP)|United Empire]] and directed the formation of [[Státrade]] in order to prevent potential market imbalances between the Yekaterian and United Imperial markets. Hochburger has also promoted the sharing of ideas and business goals between nations in order to further improve international standardisation.

==== Operation Winds of Change ====
In September 2382, following weeks of tense diplomatic exchanges and rumours of a kidnapping attempt aimed at the Prime Minister of Azeria, Emmet Brickowski, Hochburger authorised the beginning of Operation Winds of Change, a temporary {{W|Regime change|regime change}} operation aimed at unseating King Jake Azeria and installing a provisional government which would aim to rectify the country's issues. As part of the operation, Azerians were subject to a {{W|Winning hearts and minds|hearts and minds}} campaign, including the dispersal of pamphlets and brochures aimed at discrediting King Jake's government, which was seen as the international community as a {{W|Kakistocracy|kakistocracy}}.

Following an assassination attempt on King Jake Azeria, masterminded by the [[Greater Yekaterian People's Party|People's Party]], the nature of the operation changed into that of a {{W|Combined arms|combined arms}} operation which saw the liberation of Azeria by Yekateria, the [[United Empire (GeoRP)|United Empire]], and [[Alvea]]. The Azerian government rapidly crumbled, with the three superpowers forming three occupation zones and a shared occupation zone around the former capital of [[Zoroark]]; Hochburger placed Vice President and Defense Secretary [[Thomas Aspen-Malenkov]] in charge of the operation and occupation.

==== North Azeria ====

==== Diplomatic breakdown with the United Empire ====

=== Military coups and reforms ===

== First vice chancellery (2391–2396) ==
Although eligible for a third term as president, Hochburger expressed his desire to reinforce the two-term precedent observed by former presidents [[William-Alexander de Rynsburger]] and [[William Taylor]] and did not run in the [[2390 Yekaterian presidential election|2390 presidential elections]], instead endorsing his first deputy vice president at the time [[Karl-Alexander Rynsbürgen]] in the party primaries. He hinted towards political retirement during the electoral season; however, he was {{W|Draft (politics)|drafted}} by the [[Asteran–Liberal Democratic Alliance]] and pleaded to by ''Chancellor-candidate'' [[Mark Winters]] to serve in his cabinet, overseeing the coalition's financial and economic policy. Hochburger accepted the pleas and was chosen as [[Federal Vice Chancellor of Yekateria|second vice chancellor]] and [[Federal Department of Finance and Economic Affairs (Yekateria)|federal secretary of finance and economic affairs]].

=== Economic reforms ===

== Between vice chancelleries (2396–2398) ==
Following the left-wing coalition's loss in the [[2395 Yekaterian federal elections|2395 federal elections]], Hochburger returned to primarily serving as Second Secretary of Solidarity, the party's deputy leader, and as one of the ''de-facto'' deputy Federal Leaders of the Opposition.

== Second vice chancellery (2398–present) ==
Hochburger returned to government along with the [[Rynsbürgen-Schöfauer-Andersen cabinet]] following the [[Asteran–Liberal Democratic Alliance]]'s victory in the [[2398 Yekaterian midterm elections|2398 midterm elections]], returning to his previous portfolios as second vice chancellor and federal secretary of finance and economic affairs.

=== Universal Health System 2400 Corporation (UHS2C) ===

== Political positions ==
Hochburger has frequently been described as a {{W|Reformism|reformist}} with {{W|Pragmatism|pragmatist}} tendencies; he has previously spoken of issues facing Yekateria, such as corruption, inefficient management, and the extensive influence of {{W|Oligarchy|oligarchs}}. Throughout his political career, he has frequently condemned the leniency towards oligarchs by the [[Federal Government of Yekateria|Federal Government]], consistently working to reduce their influence. Yekaterian journalist [[Valentína Rybárová]] wrote that Hochburger "is a politician who supports compromise – although he has always stood by his values and ensures that the average citizen is heard". In the cabinets of former President [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]] and former Chancellors [[Ryan Hochhahn]] and [[Thomas-Anton Lindeman|Thomas-Antoine Lindeman]], Hochburger was frequently described as "the what-abouts"; he was noted to frequently ask on any policy's effects towards certain groups of people and was known to occasionally cause other members of the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]] to reinforce or rethink their position on any issues.

=== Economic policy ===
Hochburger supports increased economic opportunities for middle-class and lower-class Yekaterians, believing that "a fair playing field" would greatly promote progress in innovation, economic growth, and personal prosperity. As federal deputy, he voted in favour of opening trade with the [[Union of Reninvich Socialist Republics]], arguing that it would ultimately benefit both sides of the deal. Meanwhile, as president, Hochburger has fostered further economic relationships with the United Empire, through his formation of [[Státrade]] to allow for easy cross-border trading.

In terms of long-term domestic economic policy, Hochburger has frequently mentioned the concept of a "cooperative economy", which he has described as "a system of mutual symbiosis" between big and small industry players. Throughout his political career, Hochburger has opposed the concept of {{W|Trickle-down economics|trickle-down economics}}, instead having promoted the concept of {{W|Trickle-up economics|trickle-up economics}} and seeing demand as a cornerstone to successful and sustainable economic growth.

=== Foreign policy ===
Hochburger has historically advocated for improved relations between Yekateria and nations such as the [[United Empire (GeoRP)|United Empire]] and the [[Union of Reninvich Socialist Republics]], seeing them as ideological equals in the promotion of leftism, democracy, and consensus-based decision making. As president, he has expressed hopes of forming an international trade alliance.

=== Environment and energy ===
[[File:Hochburgerwinter m.jpg|left|thumb|225x225px|Hochburger in Kalysia, December 2382]]
Hochburger has consistently supported strong environmental policies and goals, arguing that the quality of life heavily depends on the environment surrounding their place of residence and place of work. To that end, he has frequently supported policies to promote {{W|Green building|green building}} and eco-friendly agricultural practices and protecting Yekateria's ecological reserves, which covers roughly 60% of Yekaterian territory.

As president, Hochburger has enthusiastically supported Vice Chancellor and Ecology Secretary [[Moritz Waldmann]]'s ''Ecobuilding Plan'', an ambitious plan to make all Yekaterian buildings adhere to strict yet affordable environmental standards. Hochburger has also historically supported further reductions to farmland sizes, believing them to be overly inefficient and wasteful for food production, instead supporting the use of vertical farming and making {{W|Regenerative farming|regenerative farming}} mandatory.

Following power outages which had struck the Federation throughout the early 2370s, Hochburger also advocates for smarter electricity management solutions, and proposes the further inclusion of {{W|Fusion energy|fusion power}} into Yekateria's energy mix. He has also mulled the idea of reintroducing mandatory solar panel installations into Yekaterian building codes, a standard which had existed from the 2200s to the 2330s.

=== Governance ===
Hochburger highly supports the current Malenkovist model of consensus-based governance and believes that it could be further improved by allowing for more opportunities for the various executive departments to collaborate on joint agencies and projects. As president, he has greenlighted Chancellor Freitag's ''Next Generation Government'' proposal which seeks to reduce redundancy and increase efficiency in the [[Federal Government of Yekateria|Federal Government]].

As vice president, Hochburger also supported the proposal to increase the size of the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]] from 427,176 seats to 632,420 seats. In an op-ed for [[The Modern Federation]], he wrote, "the Federal Assembly should always grow. It's an essential part of our country, and to restrain it would restrain the voice of the people. Let it grow!"

=== Healthcare ===
Hochburger supports {{W|Single-payer healthcare|single-payer healthcare}}, seeing the collapse of the former [[Federal Health System (Yekateria)|Federal Health System]] as an "avoidable mistake" and "the largest human rights violation of the century". As president, he has promoted the full transition to single-payer healthcare with the [[Great Social Society Plan]].

== Personal life ==
[[File:Lukasleon0093621559.jpg|thumb|300x300px|Hochburger and his former partner, Leon Fromm]]
Lukas Hochburger is presently married to [[Oliver Marek]] since 2384, who serves as First Spouse under him. Previously, he was in a relationship with René Kessler between 2371 to 2376. Prior to that, he has also dated Leon Fromm, a social activist and media personality from [[Malensia (YF)|Malensia]].

Hochburger has also been noted to be more outgoing as compared to other leaders from the Malenkov Family, having been known to stroll around in the capital city of [[Xanderholm]] in the early mornings and late evenings and holding pop-up meetings with citizens on the street. He is also known for his casual dress sense, forgoing formal suits and ties for events involving visits to the residences of average Yekaterians.

As with his father de Rynsburger, Hochburger is an {{W|Athiesm|athiest}}, although he has expressed support for the legalisation of religion in the Federation.

According to the Federal Transparency and Accountability Commission, Hochburger reportedly has 47 trillion Korunas in assets, placed in a blind trust with an external manager holding control over his blind trust.

'''Nico de Rynsburger-Hess''' ({{Small|Yekaterian:}} [''/ˈniːko diː rɛnzbʏrgʏɛr-ˈhɛs/'']; born 18 May 2352) is a [[Yekateria|Yekaterian]] politician and businessman, who formerly served as the Second [[Vice President of Yekateria]] from 2381 to 2391 following the victory of the [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity]] ticket in the 2380 and 2385 presidential elections. As Vice President, he oversaw the broad implementation and proposal of housing-related policies. A member of the [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity Party]], he also served as the party's Deputy Chairman from 2378 to 2390, and as Deputy President from 2390 to 2402. He previously represented [[Yekateria (republic)|Yekateria]] as Senator from 2376 to 2381.

Born to then-Treasury Secretary [[Konrad Hess]] and Vice Chancellor [[Kirsten de Rynsburger]], De Rynsburger-Hess grew up in relative obscurity compared to relatives such as [[Lukas Hochburger]] and [[Karl-Alexander Rynsbürgen]]. He then studied Business Administration in the Xanderholm Central University before later working in the Malenkov Group as a government relations executive between 2372 to 2375. At the same time, he joined the [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity Party]] as an observer-member before officially joining the party in July 2375.

De Rynsburger-Hess was then appointed as a Senator from Yekateria prior to the [[2375 Yekaterian federal elections|2375 federal elections]] by President [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]], his position being secured following Solidarity's victory in the election. As Senator, he served in the Finance Committee following his appointment by Senate Majority Leader [[Zuzana Novomedská]]. De Rynsburger-Hess was notable for co-proposing the [[Federal Audit Office Establishment Act of 2376]], establishing Yekateria's first-ever government-level accountability bureau.

He was later elected as Deputy Chairman of the [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity Party]] following the 2378 leadership election, and was picked as a running mate under [[Lukas Hochburger]]'s presidential campaign in 2380. He was sworn into office on 10 January 2381. As Vice President, De Rynsburger-Hess works closely with [[Julia Schöfauer-Andersen]] on housing policies, and has proposed the construction of 40 million new {{W|Starter home|starter homes}}.

'''Valentijn Roelink''' ({{Small|Pobeskan}}: [''/ˈvaː.lən.tɛin ˈru.lɪŋk/'']; born 17 September 2363) is a [[Yekateria|Yekaterian]]-[[Pobeska (YF)|Pobeskan]] politician who is the First [[Vice President of Yekateria|Vice President of Yekateria]], and the 54th overall, having taken office on 1 February 2401. He previously served as [[Federal Secretary of Defence of Yekateria|Yekaterian secretary of defence]] from 2398 to 2401, serving in the same position earlier from 2391 to 2396. A member of the [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity Party]], he has served as its deputy chairman since July 2393 under [[Karl Freitag]]. He previously represented his home republic in the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]] for one term, from 2386 to 2391. An outspoken figure, he is renowned for his fiery speeches attacking opponents of the [[Asteranism|Yekaterian political system]] and has campaigned on boosting Yekaterian military presence universally.

Born into an upper-middle-class family in Noorderveen Province, he became well-versed in the humanities, studying political science at the Dunsrijk Institute for the Humanities (DIvdG), where he graduated {{W|Latin honors|''cum laude''}} with both his bachelor's and master's degrees. He was also a member of the university's [[Mládež Solidarita|Solidarist Youth]] chapter, serving as a political director for the chapter's outreach initiatives. Roelink was also part of the university's Debate Society, with his team winning multiple competitions on the republican level. Following his graduation, he served in the [[Federal Armed Forces of Yekateria|Federal Armed Forces]] for a year as part of a voluntary enlistment and reserve programme. In appreciation of his efforts as a Solidarist Youth, he was selected as a senatorial candidate representing Pobeska in the context of promoting younger generations of Solidarists into the political arena.

As senator, Roelink served on the Defence and Homeland Security Committee, supporting resolutions aimed at introducing next-generation armaments to the Armed Forces, and openly lambasted senators that opposed further militarisation, naming them "cowards, sell-outs, and traitors in every sense of the word". He openly called for the reinstatement of conscription, a call repeated later under his tenure as defence secretary. Roelink also became noteworthy for his frequent comparisons of the Yekaterian political system to a human immune system, comparing opponents of the status quo to viral and bacterial infections.

Following the [[2390 Yekaterian federal elections|2390 federal election]], Roelink was nominated by incoming president [[Karl-Alexander Rynsbürgen]] as defence secretary, succeeding the veteran [[Thomas Aspen-Malenkov]]. Throughout his tenure as defence secretary, he largely implemented reforms within the military to improve operational and strategic efficacy.

{{Politics of Yekateria}}
The '''Federal Government of Yekateria''' ('''Yekaterian federal government''' or '''YF government''') is the {{W|Federation#Federal governments|national government}} of the [[Yekateria|Yekaterian Federation]], an intergalactic {{W|Federal republic|federal republic}} located across the vast expanses of the {{W|Milky Way|Domápevnosť}}, {{W|Andromeda Galaxy|Via Yekaterska}}, and {{W|Triangulum Galaxy|Via Trojska}} galaxies, as well as containing outposts in the {{W|Malin 1|Malin-Malenkovia}}, {{W|Hercules A|Velika Yekaterska}}, {{W|Tadpole Galaxy|Via Nova Natalia}}, {{W|NGC 4889|Via Xandersko}}, and {{W|Cartwheel Galaxy|Via Koleso}} galaxies. The federation is comprised of 42 [[Republics of Yekateria|constituent republics]], one self-governing republic-candidate, hundreds of autonomous planetary territories, and federal territories mostly concentrated in the cities of [[Xanderholm]] and [[Nataliska]] in the {{W|Milky Way|Domápevnosť}} galaxy, and [[Preszovice]] in {{W|Andromeda Galaxy|Via Yekaterska}}.

The Yekaterian federal government, {{W|Metonymy|typically referred to}} as "[[Xanderholm]]" after the nation's primary capital, is composed of three distinct branches: [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|legislative]], [[Federal Council of Yekateria|executive]], and [[Federal Courts of Yekateria|judicial]], whose powers are vested by the [[Federal Constitution of Yekateria|Yekaterian Constitution]] in the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]], the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]], and the [[Federal Courts of Yekateria|federal courts]], respectively. The powers and duties of these branches are further defined by laws enacted by the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Ľudovéche]], including the creation of the [[Yekaterian federal executive departments|executive departments]] and similar matters of state.

== Naming ==
As set out by the [[Federal Constitution of Yekateria|Federal Constitution of the Yekaterian Federation]], the official full name of the republic is the "Yekaterian Federation". Over the course of the nation's present existence, several names have been used, settling on its present name by the 2200s. The name appears on all legal documents with respect to the law, on money, in treaties, and other miscellaneous matters of which the Federation is a party to. The terms "Yekaterian Federal Government" and "Federal Government of the Yekaterian Federation" are used to distinguish the Federation from the [[Yekateria (YF)|constituent republic]], and to represent a distinction between the federal government and the constituent republics.

Following Presidential Decree № 27801 issued in November 2365, the national government is commonly referred to as the "Federal Government", with the various executive departments and agencies employing the use of the term "Federal" in their proper name; for instance, the [[Yekaterian Department of State|Federal Department of State]], the [[Federal Armed Forces of Yekateria|Federal Armed Forces]], and the [[Federal Trade and Finance Regulatory Commission (Yekateria)|Federal Trade and Finance Regulatory Commission]]. As a result of the nation's primary capital being the Federal City of [[Xanderholm]], it is uncommonly used as a {{W|Metonymy|metonym}} for the Yekaterian federal government.

== History ==
The Yekaterian government is largely based on {{W|Federalism|federalism}}, {{W|Republicanism|republicanism}}, and {{W|Consensus decision-making|consensus-based decision making}} under the context of a {{W|Directorial system|directorial system}} led by {{W|Diarchy|diarchs}}. Initially developed under the auspices of the {{W|Marxism-Leninism|Marxist-Leninist-}}[[Malenkovism|Malenkovist]] [[Communist Party of Yekateria|Communist Party of the Yekaterian Federation]], it has been respected and upheld by the party's two non-communist successors, the [[Federalist Party (Yekateria)|Federalist]] and [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity]] parties. The country's system of {{W|Governance|governance}} was originally designed to govern the then-single party state under the Communist Party with the national government holding similar functions to that of a {{W|Politburo|politburo}}, but was kept following Yekateria's transition to multi-party democracy. Today, the system of government functions as a method of ensuring diverse representation in government whilst also maintaining effective governance.

Throughout the years, the powers of the federal government have evolved with the times, as well as with the needs and demands of the general public. Whilst initially equal to that of an {{W|Autocracy|autocracy}} in the early days of modern Yekateria, the government has seen periods of executive dominance between the 2110s and late 2200s and legislative dominance in the 2310s and 2350s, especially during the [[Era of Troubles (Yekateria)|Era of Troubles]].

The Federal Constitution also implicitly advocates for a system of {{W|Separation of powers#Checks and balances|checks and balances}} among the powers and responsibilities of the three branches of the Yekaterian government: the executive, the legislative, and the judiciary. For example, the legislative branch ([[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]]) has the power to create laws, the executive led by the [[Federal President of Yekateria|president]] and [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|chancellor]] reserves the right to {{W|Veto|veto}} any legislation — something which may be overridden by the Federal Assembly. The president nominates judges to the nation's judiciary courts; however, those nominees must be approved by the Federal Assembly.

With regards to the relationship between the federal government and the constituent republics, the division of powers between the Federal Government and republican governments has shifted over time as well; for instance, the federal government held most of the power for most of modern history, however power has shifted to the republics within the past few decades.

== Executive branch ==
{{Multiple image

| caption_align = center
}}{{Main|Federal Council of Yekateria}}The powers of the Yekaterian executive branch are vested in the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]], consisting of anywhere between 22–26 members in the form of a {{W|Directorial system|directorial system}}. Whilst the president and chancellor are largely responsible for keeping the council in order, decisions regarding the execution of policies and laws are jointly made by the members of the council, comprised of the heads of the executive departments as well as the members of the chancellery and presidency.

Despite a large majority of the Council's members being approved by the legislative branch, the Federal Constitution implicitly forbids the removal of an incumbent without the consent of the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]], except in the instance of the incumbent having committed crimes worthy of impeachment.

Interestingly, as the nomination for federal secretaries requires the approval of the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]], whilst the confidence of the chancellery requires the support of the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]], this means that a government without a chancellor (''vláda bez kancelára'') is theoretically possible; however this situation is avoided by the use of the {{W|Constructive vote of no confidence|constructive vote of no confidence}} (''konštruktívne votum o nedôvere''), preventing the removal of a chancellor without consequently electing a successor.

The council's powers and duties are laid out on Article I, Section 4 of the Federal Constitution; <blockquote>{{Ordered list |type= upper-roman
| The [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]] shall serve as the primary body for coordinating governance between the Federal President, the Federal Chancellor, and the Federal Assembly. It shall hold primacy as the principal organ from which state policies and regulations originate.

| The Federal Council shall operate as a collective executive body, requiring decisions to be reached by consensus where possible. In cases of disagreement, a majority vote among its members shall determine the outcome, except in matters requiring unanimous approval as stipulated by law.

| The Federal Council shall be composed of the most experienced political figures, including:
{{Ordered list |type= disc
| The President
| The Vice Presidents
| The Chancellor
| The Vice Chancellor
| The Secretaries of the Federal Departments
| The Heads of Council-level Agencies and Offices
}}

Leaders of the Federal Assembly may participate in Federal Council proceedings if granted explicit approval by the ''Chief of Staff of the Federal Council''.

| Decisions of the Federal Council shall be legally binding for executive actions but shall require Federal Assembly approval for legislative implementation.

| The Federal Council shall convene at least twice a week, with additional emergency meetings permitted at the request of either the President or Chancellor.
{{Ordered list |type= disc
| The President and Chancellor shall preside over Federal Council meetings on a rotating basis.
| Minutes of the Federal Council meetings shall be recorded and accessible to the Federal Assembly upon request, except where national security or classified matters are concerned.
}}

| Members of the Federal Council and Federal Secretaries shall be appointed jointly by the President and the Chancellor, with mutual agreement required. However, all appointments must receive the consent of the Federal Senate before the appointees assume office.

| The Federal Council shall be required to present periodic reports to the Federal Assembly detailing executive actions, policy proposals, and regulatory decisions.

| Public summaries of non-classified Federal Council decisions shall be released regularly to ensure government transparency.

| The Federal Assembly of the Yekaterian Federation shall have the authority to remove Federal Council Members and Federal Secretaries through impeachment and conviction if they are found guilty of breaching the confidence of their office.

| In the event of an incapacitated President and Chancellor, the Federal Council shall temporarily assume executive authority until a suitable successor is appointed or elected, following the prescribed constitutional procedures.
}}</blockquote>

=== Federal President ===
{{Main|Federal President of Yekateria}}

==== Powers and duties ====
The powers of the federal president are established by Article I, Section 2 of the Federal Constitution, granting the president the rights of a {{W|Head of state|head of state}}, whilst also granting him some powers typical to that of a {{W|Semi-presidential system|semi-presidential system}}. Namely, the Federal President reserves the right to make nominations, enter into treaty or agreement with other nations (subject to Senate approval), and is the final step of the process in signing laws into effect.

As part of their executive powers, the Federal President is also able to issue decrees in the form of Presidential Decrees (''ukaz''), which serve to direct the president's work as head of state. Furthermore, the president also holds the final say with regards to the nominations of diplomats, ambassadors, and the heads of the [[Federal Armed Forces of Yekateria|Federal Armed Forces]]. In the fields of {{W|Foreign policy|foreign affairs}} and {{W|Military policy|defense policy}}, the president holds "reserve powers" in this regard, responsible for setting long-term defense and foreign policy objectives. The president is also the [[Supreme Commander-in-chief of Yekateria|Supreme Commander-in-chief]] of the [[Federal Armed Forces of Yekateria|Federal Armed Forces]] and is considered the chief diplomat of the entire country.

Besides the president's powers in maintaining the affairs of state and their formal reserve powers in the federal government, the president also holds significant influence on the legislative process, besides the chancellor, as the president is typically a high-ranking member of their own political party by precedent.

====Vice president====
{{Main|Federal Vice President of Yekateria}}
The vice president serves as a deputy of the [[Federal President of Yekateria|federal president]]. Despite the constitution being scant on the powers and duties of the position, their status as the president's deputies allows them to much easily work with the other branches of government and other executive agencies in order to implement the necessary long-term vision set by the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]]. The president may also delegate "special policy fields" (''osobitné fokus politiky'') in order to exert more influence in the decision-making processes and improve the working relationship between the executive and the legislature.

The Vice President is nominated by the President as part of their presidential ticket and are typically elected with the president in indirect popular elections held every five years. However, they may also be installed intra-term through a vote within the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]], giving two methods of which vice presidents may be installed. In case of the president's incapacity, death, or resignation, the vice president takes over, typically beginning with the First Deputy Federal Vice President.

===Federal Chancellor===
{{Main|Federal Chancellor of Yekateria}}

==== Powers and duties ====
The powers of the federal chancellor are established by Article I, Section 3 of the Federal Constitution, granting the chancellor the rights of a {{W|Head of government|head of government}} and is responsible for the day-to-day running of the government and the execution of policies, proposals, and programs. The Federal Chancellor works primarily with the Federal Vice Chancellors and cabinet secretaries in order to implement laws, conduct development programs, and ensure the stability of the country's day-to-day life. The Federal Chancellor is also able to issue legally binding Chancellorial Proclamations, nominate candidates for secretaries and deputy secretaries in the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]], and collaborates with the [[Federal President of Yekateria|Federal President]] on matters such as the appointment of diplomats and matters involving wars and other military matters. As a result of the Chancellor's reliance on confidence by the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]], as well as their position as a member of the chamber, the Chancellor represents the direct link between the popularly elected [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]] and the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]].

The chancellor is also a crucial player in the legislative process, as their position as a member of the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]] allows them to directly work with the [[Yekaterian Federal Assembly leadership|Federal Assembly leadership]] in guiding the process of implementing or rejecting bills. The chancellor also collaborates with the [[Federal President of Yekateria|Federal President]] on matters such as the appointment of diplomats and matters involving wars and other military matters. As a result of the Chancellor's reliance on confidence by the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]], as well as their position as a member of the chamber, the Chancellor represents the direct link between the popularly elected [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]] and the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]].

==== Vice chancellor ====
{{Main|Federal Vice Chancellor of Yekateria}}
The vice chancellor serves as a deputy of the [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|federal chancellor]]. Despite the constitution being scant on the powers and duties of the position, they wield significant influence and decision-making in the Federal Council, due to their status as "secretaries with extra powers". They typically fulfill their role as secretary of their executive department first, followed by their duty as the deputy of the chancellor. The portfolios represented by the vice chancellors are typically considered to be those valuable to the advancement of policies and goals of the incumbent cabinet, which further improves the standing and opinions held by them in every meeting of the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]]. As such, the position allows coalition parties to peacefully wield significant influence without clashing over the potential issue of one coalition member holding too much power and influence.

The Vice Chancellor is nominated by the Chancellor and presented as part of a "slate" (''vitsekantselár bridlice'') to the House of Federals, in which federal deputies may accept or reject the entire slate of vice chancellor nominees. However, rejection has never happened largely due to its aforementioned use to give coalition members more influence, which makes it easy for vice chancellor nominations to reach the required 50%+1 of votes.

Should the chancellor's office be vacant, most likely from death or the chancellor's resignation, the vice chancellors are typically expected to resign in the latter case, becoming a {{W|Caretaker cabinet|caretaker cabinet}}. However, for the former, the first deputy vice chancellor becomes the acting chancellor until a successor is formalised. So far, no chancellors have died in office.

=== Federal Council, executive departments, and agencies ===
{{Main|Federal executive departments of the Yekaterian Federation|l1=Federal executive departments of Yekateria|Federal agencies of the Yekaterian Federation|l2=Federal agencies of Yekateria}}
Article I, Section 4 of the Federal Constitution establishes the Federal Council, the official executive cabinet of the Yekaterian Federation. The role of the Council involves collaboration with the [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|Federal Chancellor]] and [[Federal President of Yekateria|Federal President]] in setting forth policies and proposing ideas for new legislation and carrying out laws and programs of the Federal Government. The Federal Council is composed of the Presidency, Chancellery, the Secretariat, and the leaders of the 17 executive departments. Typically, the members of the Chancellery also comprise of leaders of several executive departments, due to their nature as the representatives of the will of the Assembly. The executive departments include the Departments of [[Federal Department of State (Yekateria)|State]], [[Federal Department of Finance and Economic Affairs (Yekateria)|Finance and Economic Affairs]], [[Federal Department of Defence (Yekateria)|Defence]], [[Federal Department of Justice (Yekateria)|Justice]], [[Federal Department of Interior Affairs (Yekateria)|Interior Affairs]], [[Federal Department of Homeland Security (Yekateria)|Homeland Security]], [[Federal Department of Labour and Human Capital (Yekateria)|Labour and Human Capital]], [[Federal Department of Health (Yekateria)|Health]], [[Federal Department of Welfare and Social Services (Yekateria)|Welfare and Social Services]], [[Federal Department of Education (Yekateria)|Education]], [[Federal Department of Infrastructure and Housing (Yekateria)|Infrastructure and Housing]], [[Federal Department of Transport (Yekateria)|Transport]], [[Federal Department of Resource Stewardship (Yekateria)|Resource Stewardship]], [[Federal Department of Communications (Yekateria)|Communications]], [[Federal Department of Culture and Leisure (Yekateria)|Culture and Leisure]], and [[Federal Department of Scientific Advancements (Yekateria)|Scientific Advancements]].

Additionally, there are several other members of the Federal Council who are subordinate to one of the departments or independent institutions of the government which are granted the ability to participate in Council meetings. These include the Office of the International Representative (nominally under the Department of State), Chief of Staffs of the Federal Office of the President and the Federal Office of the Chancellor, and the Leaders of the Federal People's Assembly.

The heads of the 17 departments are chosen by the president (in the case of the Departments of State, Justice, and Defence) and the chancellor (the rest) and approved with the "advice and consent" of the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]]. Once confirmed, these "council secretaries" typically serve at the pleasure of the president and chancellor, although they often serve until the end of the current council term or until their own resignation/retirement.

In addition to the executive departments, several advisory organisations are grouped under the Federal Office of the President and the Federal Office of the Chancellor, with some exclusively being under either office, with others being jointly shared between the two. Some examples of the shared offices include the Federal Economic Committee and the Federal Security Council.

Outside of the FOP, FOC, and the executive departments are a number of independent agencies. These include the [[Federal Audit Office of Yekateria|Federal Audit Office]] (Fedkonúr), [[Federal Anti-Corruption Bureau of Yekateria|Federal Anti-Corruption Bureau]] (Fedúrprokor), [[Federal Science Foundation of Yekateria|Federal Science Foundation]] (Federálnauka), the [[Federal Space Agency of Yekateria|Federal Space Agency]] (Federalkosmosage), and the [[Federal Aid Agency of Yekateria|Federal Aid Agency]] (Federálpomage). In addition, there are publicly-managed corporations under the purview of the Federal Government, including the [[Federal Banking and Credit Group of Yekateria|Federal Banking and Credit Group]] and the [[Yekaterian Group]].

==Legislative branch==
{{Main|Federal Assembly of Yekateria}}The [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]], under Article II of the Federal Constitution, is the legislative branch of the federal government. It is {{W|Bicameralism|bicameral}} in nature, consisting of the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]] and the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]].

===Composition of the Assembly===

====House of Federals====
The [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]] is made up of 456,759 voting members, with each member representing a geographical district or a specific regional-level list seat. The seats are apportioned to the republics based on population every decade, following the Federal Census. Each member serves for a 5-year term, with half of the House of Federals going up for election every 2.5 years.

Federal deputies are required to be at least 20 years of age, have lived in Yekateria for five years, has a clean criminal record, is financially stable, and hold respect for democracy.

Besides the voting members, 2000 non-voting deputies are also present from the various non-republic territories (excluding the Federal Cities, which are included with republics in the apportionment process).

====Federal Senate====
The upper house, the Federal Senate consists of 185,695 seats{{Efn|'''The number of seats are set by Federal Assembly Resolutions, and is only a legal number.''' ''Of these, only 176,780 seats are currently filled due to the departure of Neilreich (with 4875 seats) and the accession of Veneria (with 4395 seats).}}, with each republic contributing 4395 senators each. However, [[Yekateria (republic)|Yekateria]] contributes 4875, whilst the Federal Cities are allocated 500 senators. The senators serve a 5-year term just as their counterparts in the House of Federals and are grouped into two classes; Class I (elected in years ending with 3,8) and Class II (elected in years ending with 0,5).

In the event of a vacancy, the Republic-President (or the Federal President in [[Yekateria (republic)|Yekateria]]) appoints a replacement until the next nearest election.

===Powers of the Assembly===
[[File:YF Federal Assembly Zone.png|thumbnail|The Palace of the Federation and Federal Assembly Towers, in [[Xanderholm]]]] As set out by the Federal Constitution, the Assembly is granted implicit powers as the primary body for legislation and the right to support the work of the other branches of government through legislation; <blockquote> "''The Federal Assembly shall be the authoritative body for the creation of legislation affecting all aspects of laws in the entire Federation. The Assembly shall be granted the power to make the proper necessary Laws essential to the execution of powers vested by the Constitution thereof; with regards to the Council, Assembly, and Courts.''"</blockquote>As a result of the implicit powers granted by the constitution, the powers of the Federal Assembly have ebbed and flowed throughout the years. In recent years, the [[Federal Court of Yekateria|Federal Court]] has often decided on lawsuits regarding the powers of the assembly.

====Power overseer====
The Assembly is granted the powers of oversight towards the other branches of government, with the intention to avoid waste and fraud, protect individual rights and civil liberties, hold the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|executive branch]] accountable, gather information on laws and promote the work of the democratic system to the people, and serves as a primary organ of the levers of government.

The power of oversight applies to executive departments, agencies, regulatory agencies, and the head of state and government.

In carrying out the Assembly's power overseer functions, the overseer takes on the following forms;

*Committee inquiries and hearings
*Formal consultations with the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]], [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|Federal Chancellor]], and [[Federal President of Yekateria|Federal President]] (as granted by the Federal Constitution)
*Advice and consent for presidential/chancellorial nominations and international agreements
*Impeachment by the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]], and subsequent trial by the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]]
*Proceedings on electing the [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|Federal Chancellor]] (and the [[Federal President of Yekateria|Federal President]] in the case of a contingent election)
*Informal meetings between legislators and executive officials
*Popular and republican representation; all 40 constituent republics are allocated a portion of seats in the House of Federals based on representation. Every republic, except Yekateria{{Efn|''Yekateria holds 4875 seats''.}}, are allocated 4395 senators, whilst the Federal Cities are allocated 500 senators. Territories of the federation not part of any republic are granted non-voting delegates.

==Judicial branch==
{{Main|Federal Court of Yekateria|Federal Constitutional Forum}}The Judiciary, under Article III of the Federal Constitution, explains and applies laws. It executes its powers by hearing and making decisions on legal cases.

===Overview of the federal judiciary===
[[File:The Federal Court building from the road.png|thumb|The Federal Court building, the home of the judiciary in [[Xanderholm]].]]
Article III, Sections 1–2 of the Federal Constitution establishes the [[Federal Court of Yekateria|Federal Court]] and the [[Federal Constitutional Forum of Yekateria|Federal Constitutional Forum]], as the apex courts for legal cases and legal cases/issues involving the constitution respectively. Both sections of Article III also go into detail regarding the terms of office of the Court justices and Constitutional Forum members, establishing life terms for justices and 15-year terms for members. Justices and members may also not be removed unless found committing crimes worthy of judicial impeachment and are expected to be paid fairly based on their work.

The Federal Judiciary Reorganisation Act of 2376 formed the Federal Constitutional Forum and further defined the powers of the inferior courts below the Federal Court, giving them clearly defined geographical districts and reformed the "special jurisdiction courts". The Federal Assembly reserves the right to reorganise or even abolish the courts lower than the Federal Court.

The Federal Court ultimately decides on litigations raised before it, which include matters pertaining to the federal government, disputes between republics, and other criminal matters. The Court may also rule on the legality of decisions by the other two branches. Historically, as part of the Court's extensive {{W|Judicial review|judicial review}} powers, the Court also ruled on matters relating to the Federal Constitution, following the creation of the [[Federal Constitutional Forum of Yekateria|Federal Constitutional Forum]], this role has passed towards the Constitutional Forum.

Besides the Federal Court, Federal Constitutional Forum, the geographically based lower courts and courts of appeals, there also exist the bankruptcy courts, tax courts, and family courts. These courts are granted {{W|Limited jurisdiction|special jurisdiction}} in the fields of bankruptcy litigation, tax fraud and other taxation-related cases, as well as the issue of family custody and separation respectively.

== Budget ==
{{Main|Federal budget of Yekateria}}
The Federal Budget process begins by the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]]'s recommendations to the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]] recommending funding levels for the next {{W|Fiscal year|fiscal year}}, beginning on March 1 and ending on February 28/29 of the following year. The fiscal year refers to both the start year and end year (e.g. ''2379-2380 federal budget'')

For fiscal year (FY) 2398-2399, the federal government spent 68 quintillion Korunas. Spending equaled 18.78% of {{W|Gross domestic product|gross domestic product}} (GDP), significantly higher than in previous years. The deficit equalled 0 quintillion, 0 percent of GDP. Tax revenue amounted to 68 quintillion Korunas, largely contributed by individual income taxes (50 quintillion Kr, 73%) and corporate and other taxes (18 quintillion Kr, 27%).

== Employees ==
{{Main|Federal Government Services of Yekateria}}
The Yekaterian federal government employs roughly 3.4 trillion total employees in FY 2398–2399, with over 2 million living in the Federal Capital of [[Xanderholm]].

{{Politics of Yekateria}}
The '''Federal Government of Yekateria''' ('''Yekaterian federal government''' or '''YF government''') is the {{W|Federation#Federal governments|national government}} of the [[Yekateria|Yekaterian Federation]], an intergalactic {{W|Federal republic|federal republic}} located across the vast expanses of the {{W|Milky Way|Domápevnosť}}, {{W|Andromeda Galaxy|Via Yekaterska}}, and {{W|Triangulum Galaxy|Via Trojska}} galaxies, as well as containing outposts in the {{W|Malin 1|Malin-Malenkovia}}, {{W|Hercules A|Velika Yekaterska}}, {{W|Tadpole Galaxy|Via Nova Natalia}}, {{W|NGC 4889|Via Xandersko}}, and {{W|Cartwheel Galaxy|Via Koleso}} galaxies. The federation is comprised of 42 [[Republics of Yekateria|constituent republics]], one self-governing republic-candidate, hundreds of autonomous planetary territories, and federal territories mostly concentrated in the cities of [[Xanderholm]] and [[Nataliska]] in the {{W|Milky Way|Domápevnosť}} galaxy, and [[Preszovice]] in {{W|Andromeda Galaxy|Via Yekaterska}}.

The Yekaterian federal government, {{W|Metonymy|typically referred to}} as "[[Xanderholm]]" after the nation's primary capital, is composed of three distinct branches: [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|legislative]], [[Federal Council of Yekateria|executive]], and [[Federal Courts of Yekateria|judicial]], whose powers are vested by the [[Federal Constitution of Yekateria|Yekaterian Constitution]] in the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]], the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]], and the [[Federal Courts of Yekateria|federal courts]], respectively. The powers and duties of these branches are further defined by laws enacted by the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Ľudovéche]], including the creation of the [[Yekaterian federal executive departments|executive departments]] and similar matters of state.

== Naming ==
As set out by the [[Federal Constitution of Yekateria|Federal Constitution of the Yekaterian Federation]], the official full name of the republic is the "Yekaterian Federation". Over the course of the nation's present existence, several names have been used, settling on its present name by the 2200s. The name appears on all legal documents with respect to the law, on money, in treaties, and other miscellaneous matters of which the Federation is a party to. The terms "Yekaterian Federal Government" and "Federal Government of the Yekaterian Federation" are used to distinguish the Federation from the [[Yekateria (YF)|constituent republic]], and to represent a distinction between the federal government and the constituent republics.

Following Presidential Decree № 27801 issued in November 2365, the national government is commonly referred to as the "Federal Government", with the various executive departments and agencies employing the use of the term "Federal" in their proper name; for instance, the [[Yekaterian Department of State|Federal Department of State]], the [[Federal Armed Forces of Yekateria|Federal Armed Forces]], and the [[Federal Trade and Finance Regulatory Commission (Yekateria)|Federal Trade and Finance Regulatory Commission]]. As a result of the nation's primary capital being the Federal City of [[Xanderholm]], it is uncommonly used as a {{W|Metonymy|metonym}} for the Yekaterian federal government.

== History ==
The Yekaterian government is largely based on {{W|Federalism|federalism}}, {{W|Republicanism|republicanism}}, and {{W|Consensus decision-making|consensus-based decision making}} under the context of a {{W|Directorial system|directorial system}} led by {{W|Diarchy|diarchs}}. Initially developed under the auspices of the {{W|Marxism-Leninism|Marxist-Leninist-}}[[Malenkovism|Malenkovist]] [[Communist Party of Yekateria|Communist Party of the Yekaterian Federation]], it has been respected and upheld by the party's two non-communist successors, the [[Federalist Party (Yekateria)|Federalist]] and [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity]] parties. The country's system of {{W|Governance|governance}} was originally designed to govern the then-single party state under the Communist Party with the national government holding similar functions to that of a {{W|Politburo|politburo}}, but was kept following Yekateria's transition to multi-party democracy. Today, the system of government functions as a method of ensuring diverse representation in government whilst also maintaining effective governance.

Throughout the years, the powers of the federal government have evolved with the times, as well as with the needs and demands of the general public. Whilst initially equal to that of an {{W|Autocracy|autocracy}} in the early days of modern Yekateria, the government has seen periods of executive dominance between the 2110s and late 2200s and legislative dominance in the 2310s and 2350s, especially during the [[Era of Troubles (Yekateria)|Era of Troubles]].

The Federal Constitution also implicitly advocates for a system of {{W|Separation of powers#Checks and balances|checks and balances}} among the powers and responsibilities of the three branches of the Yekaterian government: the executive, the legislative, and the judiciary. For example, the legislative branch ([[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]]) has the power to create laws, the executive led by the [[Federal President of Yekateria|president]] and [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|chancellor]] reserves the right to {{W|Veto|veto}} any legislation — something which may be overridden by the Federal Assembly. The president nominates judges to the nation's judiciary courts; however, those nominees must be approved by the Federal Assembly.

With regards to the relationship between the federal government and the constituent republics, the division of powers between the Federal Government and republican governments has shifted over time as well; for instance, the federal government held most of the power for most of modern history, however power has shifted to the republics within the past few decades.

}}{{Main|Federal Council of Yekateria}}The powers of the Yekaterian executive branch are vested in the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]], consisting of anywhere between 22–26 members in the form of a {{W|Directorial system|directorial system}}. Whilst the president and chancellor are largely responsible for keeping the council in order, decisions regarding the execution of policies and laws are jointly made by the members of the council, comprised of the heads of the executive departments as well as the members of the chancellery and presidency.

Despite a large majority of the Council's members being approved by the legislative branch, the Federal Constitution implicitly forbids the removal of an incumbent without the consent of the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]], except in the instance of the incumbent having committed crimes worthy of impeachment.

Interestingly, as the nomination for federal secretaries requires the approval of the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]], whilst the confidence of the chancellery requires the support of the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]], this means that a government without a chancellor (''vláda bez kancelára'') is theoretically possible; however this situation is avoided by the use of the {{W|Constructive vote of no confidence|constructive vote of no confidence}} (''konštruktívne votum o nedôvere''), preventing the removal of a chancellor without consequently electing a successor.

The council's powers and duties are laid out on Article I, Section 4 of the Federal Constitution; <blockquote>{{Ordered list |type= upper-roman
| The [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]] shall serve as the primary body for coordinating governance between the Federal President, the Federal Chancellor, and the Federal Assembly. It shall hold primacy as the principal organ from which state policies and regulations originate.

| The Federal Council shall operate as a collective executive body, requiring decisions to be reached by consensus where possible. In cases of disagreement, a majority vote among its members shall determine the outcome, except in matters requiring unanimous approval as stipulated by law.

| The Federal Council shall be composed of the most experienced political figures, including:
{{Ordered list |type= disc
| The President
| The Vice Presidents
| The Chancellor
| The Vice Chancellor
| The Secretaries of the Federal Departments
| The Heads of Council-level Agencies and Offices
}}

Leaders of the Federal Assembly may participate in Federal Council proceedings if granted explicit approval by the ''Chief of Staff of the Federal Council''.

| Decisions of the Federal Council shall be legally binding for executive actions but shall require Federal Assembly approval for legislative implementation.

| The Federal Council shall convene at least twice a week, with additional emergency meetings permitted at the request of either the President or Chancellor.
{{Ordered list |type= disc
| The President and Chancellor shall preside over Federal Council meetings on a rotating basis.
| Minutes of the Federal Council meetings shall be recorded and accessible to the Federal Assembly upon request, except where national security or classified matters are concerned.
}}

| Members of the Federal Council and Federal Secretaries shall be appointed jointly by the President and the Chancellor, with mutual agreement required. However, all appointments must receive the consent of the Federal Senate before the appointees assume office.

| The Federal Council shall be required to present periodic reports to the Federal Assembly detailing executive actions, policy proposals, and regulatory decisions.

| Public summaries of non-classified Federal Council decisions shall be released regularly to ensure government transparency.

| The Federal Assembly of the Yekaterian Federation shall have the authority to remove Federal Council Members and Federal Secretaries through impeachment and conviction if they are found guilty of breaching the confidence of their office.

| In the event of an incapacitated President and Chancellor, the Federal Council shall temporarily assume executive authority until a suitable successor is appointed or elected, following the prescribed constitutional procedures.
}}</blockquote>

=== Federal President ===
{{Main|Federal President of Yekateria}}

==== Powers and duties ====
The powers of the federal president are established by Article I, Section 2 of the Federal Constitution, granting the president the rights of a {{W|Head of state|head of state}}, whilst also granting him some powers typical to that of a {{W|Semi-presidential system|semi-presidential system}}. Namely, the Federal President reserves the right to make nominations, enter into treaty or agreement with other nations (subject to Senate approval), and is the final step of the process in signing laws into effect.

As part of their executive powers, the Federal President is also able to issue decrees in the form of Presidential Decrees (''ukaz''), which serve to direct the president's work as head of state. Furthermore, the president also holds the final say with regards to the nominations of diplomats, ambassadors, and the heads of the [[Federal Armed Forces of Yekateria|Federal Armed Forces]]. In the fields of {{W|Foreign policy|foreign affairs}} and {{W|Military policy|defense policy}}, the president holds "reserve powers" in this regard, responsible for setting long-term defense and foreign policy objectives. The president is also the [[Supreme Commander-in-chief of Yekateria|Supreme Commander-in-chief]] of the [[Federal Armed Forces of Yekateria|Federal Armed Forces]] and is considered the chief diplomat of the entire country.

Besides the president's powers in maintaining the affairs of state and their formal reserve powers in the federal government, the president also holds significant influence on the legislative process, besides the chancellor, as the president is typically a high-ranking member of their own political party by precedent.

====Vice president====
{{Main|Federal Vice President of Yekateria}}
The vice president serves as a deputy of the [[Federal President of Yekateria|federal president]]. Despite the constitution being scant on the powers and duties of the position, their status as the president's deputies allows them to much easily work with the other branches of government and other executive agencies in order to implement the necessary long-term vision set by the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]]. The president may also delegate "special policy fields" (''osobitné fokus politiky'') in order to exert more influence in the decision-making processes and improve the working relationship between the executive and the legislature.

The Vice President is nominated by the President as part of their presidential ticket and are typically elected with the president in indirect popular elections held every five years. However, they may also be installed intra-term through a vote within the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]], giving two methods of which vice presidents may be installed. In case of the president's incapacity, death, or resignation, the vice president takes over, typically beginning with the First Deputy Federal Vice President.

===Federal Chancellor===
{{Main|Federal Chancellor of Yekateria}}

==== Powers and duties ====
The powers of the federal chancellor are established by Article I, Section 3 of the Federal Constitution, granting the chancellor the rights of a {{W|Head of government|head of government}} and is responsible for the day-to-day running of the government and the execution of policies, proposals, and programs. The Federal Chancellor works primarily with the Federal Vice Chancellors and cabinet secretaries in order to implement laws, conduct development programs, and ensure the stability of the country's day-to-day life. The Federal Chancellor is also able to issue legally binding Chancellorial Proclamations, nominate candidates for secretaries and deputy secretaries in the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]], and collaborates with the [[Federal President of Yekateria|Federal President]] on matters such as the appointment of diplomats and matters involving wars and other military matters. As a result of the Chancellor's reliance on confidence by the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]], as well as their position as a member of the chamber, the Chancellor represents the direct link between the popularly elected [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]] and the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]].

The chancellor is also a crucial player in the legislative process, as their position as a member of the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]] allows them to directly work with the [[Yekaterian Federal Assembly leadership|Federal Assembly leadership]] in guiding the process of implementing or rejecting bills. The chancellor also collaborates with the [[Federal President of Yekateria|Federal President]] on matters such as the appointment of diplomats and matters involving wars and other military matters. As a result of the Chancellor's reliance on confidence by the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]], as well as their position as a member of the chamber, the Chancellor represents the direct link between the popularly elected [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]] and the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]].

==== Vice chancellor ====
{{Main|Federal Vice Chancellor of Yekateria}}
The vice chancellor serves as a deputy of the [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|federal chancellor]]. Despite the constitution being scant on the powers and duties of the position, they wield significant influence and decision-making in the Federal Council, due to their status as "secretaries with extra powers". They typically fulfill their role as secretary of their executive department first, followed by their duty as the deputy of the chancellor. The portfolios represented by the vice chancellors are typically considered to be those valuable to the advancement of policies and goals of the incumbent cabinet, which further improves the standing and opinions held by them in every meeting of the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]]. As such, the position allows coalition parties to peacefully wield significant influence without clashing over the potential issue of one coalition member holding too much power and influence.

The Vice Chancellor is nominated by the Chancellor and presented as part of a "slate" (''vitsekantselár bridlice'') to the House of Federals, in which federal deputies may accept or reject the entire slate of vice chancellor nominees. However, rejection has never happened largely due to its aforementioned use to give coalition members more influence, which makes it easy for vice chancellor nominations to reach the required 50%+1 of votes.

Should the chancellor's office be vacant, most likely from death or the chancellor's resignation, the vice chancellors are typically expected to resign in the latter case, becoming a {{W|Caretaker cabinet|caretaker cabinet}}. However, for the former, the first deputy vice chancellor becomes the acting chancellor until a successor is formalised. So far, no chancellors have died in office.

=== Federal Council, executive departments, and agencies ===
{{Main|Federal executive departments of the Yekaterian Federation|l1=Federal executive departments of Yekateria|Federal agencies of the Yekaterian Federation|l2=Federal agencies of Yekateria}}
Article I, Section 4 of the Federal Constitution establishes the Federal Council, the official executive cabinet of the Yekaterian Federation. The role of the Council involves collaboration with the [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|Federal Chancellor]] and [[Federal President of Yekateria|Federal President]] in setting forth policies and proposing ideas for new legislation and carrying out laws and programs of the Federal Government. The Federal Council is composed of the Presidency, Chancellery, the Secretariat, and the leaders of the 17 executive departments. Typically, the members of the Chancellery also comprise of leaders of several executive departments, due to their nature as the representatives of the will of the Assembly. The executive departments include the Departments of [[Federal Department of State (Yekateria)|State]], [[Federal Department of Finance and Economic Affairs (Yekateria)|Finance and Economic Affairs]], [[Federal Department of Defence (Yekateria)|Defence]], [[Federal Department of Justice (Yekateria)|Justice]], [[Federal Department of Interior Affairs (Yekateria)|Interior Affairs]], [[Federal Department of Homeland Security (Yekateria)|Homeland Security]], [[Federal Department of Labour and Human Capital (Yekateria)|Labour and Human Capital]], [[Federal Department of Health (Yekateria)|Health]], [[Federal Department of Welfare and Social Services (Yekateria)|Welfare and Social Services]], [[Federal Department of Education (Yekateria)|Education]], [[Federal Department of Infrastructure and Housing (Yekateria)|Infrastructure and Housing]], [[Federal Department of Transport (Yekateria)|Transport]], [[Federal Department of Resource Stewardship (Yekateria)|Resource Stewardship]], [[Federal Department of Communications (Yekateria)|Communications]], [[Federal Department of Culture and Leisure (Yekateria)|Culture and Leisure]], and [[Federal Department of Scientific Advancements (Yekateria)|Scientific Advancements]].

Additionally, there are several other members of the Federal Council who are subordinate to one of the departments or independent institutions of the government which are granted the ability to participate in Council meetings. These include the Office of the International Representative (nominally under the Department of State), Chief of Staffs of the Federal Office of the President and the Federal Office of the Chancellor, and the Leaders of the Federal People's Assembly.

The heads of the 17 departments are chosen by the president (in the case of the Departments of State, Justice, and Defence) and the chancellor (the rest) and approved with the "advice and consent" of the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]]. Once confirmed, these "council secretaries" typically serve at the pleasure of the president and chancellor, although they often serve until the end of the current council term or until their own resignation/retirement.

In addition to the executive departments, several advisory organisations are grouped under the Federal Office of the President and the Federal Office of the Chancellor, with some exclusively being under either office, with others being jointly shared between the two. Some examples of the shared offices include the Federal Economic Committee and the Federal Security Council.

Outside of the FOP, FOC, and the executive departments are a number of independent agencies. These include the [[Federal Audit Office of Yekateria|Federal Audit Office]] (Fedkonúr), [[Federal Anti-Corruption Bureau of Yekateria|Federal Anti-Corruption Bureau]] (Fedúrprokor), [[Federal Science Foundation of Yekateria|Federal Science Foundation]] (Federálnauka), the [[Federal Space Agency of Yekateria|Federal Space Agency]] (Federalkosmosage), and the [[Federal Aid Agency of Yekateria|Federal Aid Agency]] (Federálpomage). In addition, there are publicly-managed corporations under the purview of the Federal Government, including the [[Federal Banking and Credit Group of Yekateria|Federal Banking and Credit Group]] and the [[Yekaterian Group]].

==Legislative branch==
{{Main|Federal Assembly of Yekateria}}The [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]], under Article II of the Federal Constitution, is the legislative branch of the federal government. It is {{W|Bicameralism|bicameral}} in nature, consisting of the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]] and the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]].

===Composition of the Assembly===

====House of Federals====
The [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]] is made up of 456,759 voting members, with each member representing a geographical district or a specific regional-level list seat. The seats are apportioned to the republics based on population every decade, following the Federal Census. Each member serves for a 5-year term, with half of the House of Federals going up for election every 2.5 years.

Federal deputies are required to be at least 20 years of age, have lived in Yekateria for five years, has a clean criminal record, is financially stable, and hold respect for democracy.

Besides the voting members, 2000 non-voting deputies are also present from the various non-republic territories (excluding the Federal Cities, which are included with republics in the apportionment process).

====Federal Senate====
The upper house, the Federal Senate consists of 185,695 seats{{Efn|'''The number of seats are set by Federal Assembly Resolutions, and is only a legal number.''' ''Of these, only 176,780 seats are currently filled due to the departure of Neilreich (with 4875 seats) and the accession of Veneria (with 4395 seats).}}, with each republic contributing 4395 senators each. However, [[Yekateria (republic)|Yekateria]] contributes 4875, whilst the Federal Cities are allocated 500 senators. The senators serve a 5-year term just as their counterparts in the House of Federals and are grouped into two classes; Class I (elected in years ending with 3,8) and Class II (elected in years ending with 0,5).

In the event of a vacancy, the Republic-President (or the Federal President in [[Yekateria (republic)|Yekateria]]) appoints a replacement until the next nearest election.

===Powers of the Assembly===
[[File:YF Federal Assembly Zone.png|thumbnail|The Palace of the Federation and Federal Assembly Towers, in [[Xanderholm]]]] As set out by the Federal Constitution, the Assembly is granted implicit powers as the primary body for legislation and the right to support the work of the other branches of government through legislation; <blockquote> "''The Federal Assembly shall be the authoritative body for the creation of legislation affecting all aspects of laws in the entire Federation. The Assembly shall be granted the power to make the proper necessary Laws essential to the execution of powers vested by the Constitution thereof; with regards to the Council, Assembly, and Courts.''"</blockquote>As a result of the implicit powers granted by the constitution, the powers of the Federal Assembly have ebbed and flowed throughout the years. In recent years, the [[Federal Court of Yekateria|Federal Court]] has often decided on lawsuits regarding the powers of the assembly.

====Power overseer====
The Assembly is granted the powers of oversight towards the other branches of government, with the intention to avoid waste and fraud, protect individual rights and civil liberties, hold the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|executive branch]] accountable, gather information on laws and promote the work of the democratic system to the people, and serves as a primary organ of the levers of government.

The power of oversight applies to executive departments, agencies, regulatory agencies, and the head of state and government.

In carrying out the Assembly's power overseer functions, the overseer takes on the following forms;

*Committee inquiries and hearings
*Formal consultations with the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]], [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|Federal Chancellor]], and [[Federal President of Yekateria|Federal President]] (as granted by the Federal Constitution)
*Advice and consent for presidential/chancellorial nominations and international agreements
*Impeachment by the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]], and subsequent trial by the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]]
*Proceedings on electing the [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|Federal Chancellor]] (and the [[Federal President of Yekateria|Federal President]] in the case of a contingent election)
*Informal meetings between legislators and executive officials
*Popular and republican representation; all 40 constituent republics are allocated a portion of seats in the House of Federals based on representation. Every republic, except Yekateria{{Efn|''Yekateria holds 4875 seats''.}}, are allocated 4395 senators, whilst the Federal Cities are allocated 500 senators. Territories of the federation not part of any republic are granted non-voting delegates.

==Judicial branch==
{{Main|Federal Court of Yekateria|Federal Constitutional Forum}}The Judiciary, under Article III of the Federal Constitution, explains and applies laws. It executes its powers by hearing and making decisions on legal cases.

===Overview of the federal judiciary===
[[File:The Federal Court building from the road.png|thumb|The Federal Court building, the home of the judiciary in [[Xanderholm]].]]
Article III, Sections 1–2 of the Federal Constitution establishes the [[Federal Court of Yekateria|Federal Court]] and the [[Federal Constitutional Forum of Yekateria|Federal Constitutional Forum]], as the apex courts for legal cases and legal cases/issues involving the constitution respectively. Both sections of Article III also go into detail regarding the terms of office of the Court justices and Constitutional Forum members, establishing life terms for justices and 15-year terms for members. Justices and members may also not be removed unless found committing crimes worthy of judicial impeachment and are expected to be paid fairly based on their work.

The Federal Judiciary Reorganisation Act of 2376 formed the Federal Constitutional Forum and further defined the powers of the inferior courts below the Federal Court, giving them clearly defined geographical districts and reformed the "special jurisdiction courts". The Federal Assembly reserves the right to reorganise or even abolish the courts lower than the Federal Court.

The Federal Court ultimately decides on litigations raised before it, which include matters pertaining to the federal government, disputes between republics, and other criminal matters. The Court may also rule on the legality of decisions by the other two branches. Historically, as part of the Court's extensive {{W|Judicial review|judicial review}} powers, the Court also ruled on matters relating to the Federal Constitution, following the creation of the [[Federal Constitutional Forum of Yekateria|Federal Constitutional Forum]], this role has passed towards the Constitutional Forum.

Besides the Federal Court, Federal Constitutional Forum, the geographically based lower courts and courts of appeals, there also exist the bankruptcy courts, tax courts, and family courts. These courts are granted {{W|Limited jurisdiction|special jurisdiction}} in the fields of bankruptcy litigation, tax fraud and other taxation-related cases, as well as the issue of family custody and separation respectively.

== Budget ==
{{Main|Federal budget of Yekateria}}
The Federal Budget process begins by the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]]'s recommendations to the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]] recommending funding levels for the next {{W|Fiscal year|fiscal year}}, beginning on March 1 and ending on February 28/29 of the following year. The fiscal year refers to both the start year and end year (e.g. ''2379-2380 federal budget'')

For fiscal year (FY) 2398-2399, the federal government spent 68 quintillion Korunas. Spending equaled 18.78% of {{W|Gross domestic product|gross domestic product}} (GDP), significantly higher than in previous years. The deficit equalled 0 quintillion, 0 percent of GDP. Tax revenue amounted to 68 quintillion Korunas, largely contributed by individual income taxes (50 quintillion Kr, 73%) and corporate and other taxes (18 quintillion Kr, 27%).

== Employees ==
{{Main|Federal Government Services of Yekateria}}
The Yekaterian federal government employs roughly 3.4 trillion total employees in FY 2398–2399, with over 2 million living in the Federal Capital of [[Xanderholm]].

{{Politics of Yekateria|expanded = Executive}}

The '''Federal Council of Yekateria''' ([[Yekaterian language|Yekaterian]]: ''Federálna Rada Yekaterskej Federácie'') is the collective {{W|Executive (government)|executive}} decision-making body of the [[Federal Government of Yekateria|Yekaterian government]]. The cabinet nominally consists of the [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|Federal Chancellor]], historically known as the Chairperson of the Council, as well as the [[Federal Vice Chancellor of Yekateria|Federal Vice Chancellors]], who act as deputy leaders of the Council, as well as the other secretaries forming the council. The Federal Presidency also counts as part of the council membership, but by precedent typically do not bring up policy proposals outside the realms of defence, security, and foreign affairs. The purpose, duties, and competencies of the Council are set out in Article I, Sections 4-5 of the [[Federal Constitution of Yekateria|Federal Constitution]].

==Nomination==
The process for forming the Council begins with the nomination of the [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|Federal Chancellor]]. Whilst the nomination was historically proposed directly by the [[Federal President of Yekateria|president]], the nomination is formally introduced "in the president's name" (''vo mene preszidenta'') within the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]]. Prior to the nomination, however, the [[Political parties of Yekateria|political parties]] will typically hold coalition talks and set out a detailed composition of the cabinet, which will then be referred to the president for approval and further nomination. However, opposing parties, and occasionally parties within the same coalition, can propose other ''Chancellor-candidates'' for the vote; despite this, however, there has been no instances of a different ''Chancellor-candidate'' not previously nominated "in the president's name" ultimately becoming Chancellor.

Unlike in a typical {{W|Parliamentary system|parliamentary system}} or even a {{W|Semi-presidential system|semi-presidential system}}, the role of nomination ultimately falls on the president, with the nomination of the Chancellor headed for the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]] and the nomination of the cabinet secretaries headed for the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]]. This, therefore, gives a wide range of {{W|Separation of powers#Checks and balances|checks and balances}} available to the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]], which has the power to individually reject candidates forming the Federal Council. In such cases, the Chancellor-designate, or the coalition parties, will instead suggest an alternative candidate for the position to the president.

==Powers==

=== Composition ===
The Federal Council is typically headed by the [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|Federal Chancellor]], in their role as {{W|Head of government|head of government}}. The chancellor facilitates the daily activities of the Council and serves as the chair and representative, however takes on the role of a co-chair in the presence of the president. The chancellor ultimately ensures the proper implementation of the council's policies, coordinates work with the secretaries, and serves as the general coordinator of the Council's work. The Chancellor may, based on precedent, be assisted by up to six [[Federal Vice Chancellor of Yekateria|vice chancellors]], who act as deputy chairs and deputy coordinators in the Council's day-to-day activities. The vice chancellors are also typically secretaries of their own respective departments; this allows the chancellor to place secretaries of importance to the government program in a greater position of authority. Whilst uncommon, the chancellor may also themselves discharge the duties of a secretary, typically holding the portfolio of a "less prestigious" department. The constitution does not explicitly enumerate the duties and responsibilities of a vice chancellor, although most of their duties and legitimacy devolve from simply being the "chancellor's deputies". However, as mentioned, chancellors typically nominate vice chancellors based on the key priorities of their cabinet and, more recently, to give coalition partners a greater say in the Council's affairs.

The rest of the council is composed of secretaries, which are organised based on acts of the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]], with their roles and responsibilities defined by the president and chancellor as part of the departments' creation process. Whilst nominally independent, these secretaries are ultimately responsible to the [[Federal President of Yekateria|president]], [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|chancellor]], and the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of the Federals]] in their day-to-day activities. Should a cabinet secretary be found in contempt of law, the House is empowered to bring impeachment upon the secretary and face trial in the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]], however in practice this rarely happens due to the president and chancellor being able to replace them through proposing a new candidate for the position.

The style of government and roles of the secretaries are not mandated by the constitution, instead being subject to the laws governing the creation and organisation of their respective departments.

=== Stature ===
The Federal Constitution entrusts the Council to craft and implement the most important regulations and policies of the Federation. Accordingly, the clause governing the Council's duty is as follows;<blockquote>'''Art. I, Section 4, Clause 1;'''

The Federal Council shall serve as the primary body for coordinating governance between the Federal President, the Federal Chancellor, and the Federal Assembly. It shall hold primacy as the principal organ from which state policies and regulations originate.
</blockquote>

Whilst the Federal Constitution also delegates powers to the governments of the constituent republics and lower subdivisions of the Federation in proposing and enacting laws and regulations, the Federal Council is the highest supreme executive body in the entirety of the Federation. As such, the council is responsible for the direct competence of managing domestic policy, directing the long-term outlook of the [[Federal Government of Yekateria|Federal Government]], and the execution of programs related to the government's work, however the realms of defense and foreign policy are typically reserved by the president as necessary.

=== Responsibilities ===
The Council ultimately derives its collective and individual responsibility to the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]], namely the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]]. Despite the importance of the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]] in approving nominations for cabinet secretaries, the Council does not rely on the Senate's the power of confidence in order to continue its term of office. Furthermore, despite the council's reliance on the confidence of the lower house, the Council's secretaries are not required to be physically present at sessions of the House. Questions from deputies instead primarily rely on the system of {{W|Interpellation (politics)|interpellation}}, from which the secretaries and/or the Council are expected to reply to within 15 days. Furthermore, they may also be invited to meetings and hearings held by the various committees of the House of Federals, from which they may receive questions from legislators directly related to the committee closest related to their department's field of work.

The secretaries of the Council may be replaced through the successful passage of a nomination for a successor, their impeachment, resignation, or death.

==Meetings==
The council typically convenes every Tuesday and Friday at the [[Federal Chancellery Building (Yekateria)|Federal Chancellery Building]] in Xanderholm, in which the members of the Council will meet to deliberate the status of laws and policies, suggest potential changes, and other matters deemed necessary. The Chancellor may also call for special meetings in the appropriate circumstances.

=== Federal Council+ ===
The president also reserves the right to convene the entirety of the Federal Council, including full and nominal members, whenever necessary and at their discretion. In such meetings, often dubbed "Federal Council+", the president and chancellor both preside over the council. At such meetings, the president will be able to bring up issues or sets of issues deemed necessary for discussion and deliberation. As the president is also ultimately responsible for the administration of the [[Federal Government Services of Yekateria|Federal Government Services]], such meetings are also necessary in order to organise government bureaucracy in anticipation of a potential new policy or issue.

The '''Federal President of Yekateria''' (''full title: '''Federal President of the Yekaterian Federation'''''; Yekaterian: ''Federálny Preszident Yekaterskej Federácie'') is the head of state and head of executive of the [[Yekateria|Yekaterian Federation]]. A member of the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]], the Federal President co-leads the Council in the form of a diarchy along with the [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|Federal Chancellor]], currently {{Current chancellor Yekateria}}. The Federal President (along with the Federal Chancellor) are regarded as {{W|Primus inter pares|''primus inter pares''}} within the [[Federal Government of Yekateria|Federal Government]], and is responsible for nominating cabinet secretaries, judges, ambassadors, as well as setting foreign policy and defense agendas. The President also oversees the Federal Office of the President, which is responsible for overseeing the {{W|Governance|affairs of state}} (''štátne dela'') and the various organs and agencies of the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]]. The president is elected via a system of {{W|Indirect election|indirect election}}, with voters voting for electors in the Federal Electoral College, representing the 42 constituent republics of the federation.

Unlike electoral systems in other nations, Federal Electoral College electors are chosen through a system of {{W|Proportionality|proportionality}}; based on the popular vote attained by a candidate from a particular republic, the electors represent the proportion of the popular vote for each candidate and vote accordingly with their chosen candidate, unlike in a system utilising {{W|Winner-take-all voting|winner-take-all voting}}. The Federal President may not be removed throughout the course of their five-year term, unless {{W|Impeachment|impeached}} and removed from office following a trial held by the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]], as well as through other methods such as resigning and death. Should a president be removed from office, the First Deputy Federal Vice President will be the first-in-line to become the next Federal President.

Any Yekaterian citizen may run for president, provided that they are in good societal standing and are able to afford the 100,000 Koruna deposit. However, all current presidents have previous political experience, thus making the prospects of an {{W|Anti-establishment|anti-establishment}} outsider president unlikely. Presidential candidates, while able to run as {{W|Independent politician|independent candidates}}, are typically able to receive more political support as part of a {{W|Political party|political party}}. As of 2382, all presidents have been elected as candidates under a political party. In contrast to the [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|Federal Chancellor]], the president has largely been a member or ally of the [[Malenkov Family]], largely in part to the continued dominance of the [[Communist Party of the Yekaterian Federation|Communist Party]] and its successor, the [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity Party]].

Currently, presidents and presidential candidates belonging to a party are typically a high-ranking member of their respective party; this is largely due to the convention of {{W|Primary election|primary elections}} being held by the respective [[Political parties of Yekateria|political parties]]. Winners of the parties' presidential primaries go on to become ''President-candidates'', similar to that of the ''Chancellor-candidates''. As part of the election season, ''President-candidates'' are then invited to take part in debates, may hold town hall meetings and rallies and similar campaign events, before and after the first round of elections (if there is a second round).

Presidential elections are held under a {{W|Two-round system|two-round system}}, with the top two candidates from the first round advancing to the second round. Candidates who earn over 15% of the popular vote in the first round are returned 75% of their election deposit, candidates who advance to the second round receive their election deposit in full, whilst candidates in neither category forfeit their election deposit. Following election, they are inaugurated on 10 January of the following year from the election, and serve as as the co-leader of the [[Federal Government of Yekateria#Executive|Executive Branch]].

As of 2401, there have been 41 presidents, of which the current incumbent is [[Karl Freitag]] of the [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity Party]], who succeeded acting president [[Sam Odenberg]] in February 2401.

== History ==
The presidency of Yekateria was a new creation following the [[Great July Revolution of Yekateria|Great July Revolution]], in which the Kremlyna dynasty of tsars was overthrown and replaced by a "People's Commissariat" led by [[Peter Malenkov]], having become the Chairman of the Council of Ministers, the precursor to the premiers and [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|chancellors]] of modern-day. The position of "Chairman of the Presidium" was then created, also for Malenkov, resulting in his near-absolute power as the leader of the [[Communist Party of Yekateria|Communist Party]]. Between 2050 to 2070, as well as 2082 to 2106, the position was largely held by the party leader of the party in charge of Yekateria, holding both positions of head of state (president) and head of government (premier). Following the election of [[Valentina Malenkova]] and [[Ivan Malenkov]] as party leaders, however, the positions of president and premier were then held by two different people, as opposed to the previous norm.

The power dynamics between the head of state and head of government have changed considerably throughout the years; whilst the president dominated politics from the late 21st century to the early 22nd century and the early 23rd century to the mid-24th century, the premier dominated politics between the early 22nd century and early 23rd century. Following [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]]'s reforms in the mid-24th century, the president and chancellor have shared power ever since.

== Powers and duties ==
[[File:Decree28802.png|thumb|311x311px|An example of a presidential decree (''ukaz''): an order by [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]] to strictly enforce anti-segregationist measures in government.]]
As the {{W|Head of state|head of state}} and the co-leader of the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]], the president is largely in charge of maintaining the affairs of state and the management of executive agencies. Under Yekateria's {{W|Semi-presidential system|semi-presidential}} {{W|Directorial system|directorial}} system, the president and chancellor are equally responsible for the administration of the executive agencies and the federal executive departments respectively. Whilst the Federal Chancellery manages the day-to-day planning and execution of policies, legislation, and programs, the Federal President works with the Federal Vice Presidents in carrying out the affairs of state as well as planning with their Federal Chancellery counterparts in effectively working on "big picture" plans for the Federation. The Federal President is also able to issue {{W|Decree|decrees}} in the form of Presidential Decrees (''ukaz''), which serve to direct the president's work as head of state. The president also holds the final say with regards to the nominations of diplomats, ambassadors, and the heads of the [[Federal Armed Forces of Yekateria|Federal Armed Forces]]. Furthermore, the president also holds the right to the "reserved domains" of {{W|Foreign policy|foreign affairs}} and {{W|Military policy|defense policy}}, being the primary government official responsible for setting foreign and defense policy long-term. To that end, the President is the [[Supreme Commander-in-chief of Yekateria|Supreme Commander-in-chief]] of the [[Federal Armed Forces of Yekateria|Federal Armed Forces]] and reserves the prerogative for nominations on the [[Federal Department of State (Yekateria)|Federal Secretary of State]] and the [[Federal Department of Defense (Yekateria)|Federal Secretary of Defense]].

Despite historically being a member of the [[Supreme Soviet of Yekateria|Supreme Soviet]] (the historical predecessor to the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]]), the president is no longer allowed to be a member of either house of the Federal Assembly following the [[Yekaterian Reforms of 2345|Reforms of 2345]]. As such, the president represents the direct will of the people, compared to the chancellor who is elected by parliamentarians. The president is also allowed to nominate and have up to six vice presidents, with the current [[Presidency of Lukas Hochburger]] having the maximum six vice presidents. Only two presidents have historically had the maximum allowable vice presidents; besides incumbent President Hochburger, former President [[Elise Malenkova]], who had six vice presidents between 2295–2297, as well as 2300–2305.

The president may also appoint the vice presidents to cover a specific policy area under their administration, with the exception of the First Federal Vice President.

== Qualifications and election ==
As the highest leader by rank and powers in the entire nation of Yekateria, the qualifications and election process for president involves proving their ability to ensure governmental {{W|Financial stability|financial stability}} as the head of state, support for defending the constitution and the democratic process, exercising their powers in line with the {{W|General will|general will of the people}}, and gaining popular support from the Yekaterian people. Conventionally, presidential candidates are usually chosen through inner-party {{W|Primary election|primary elections}} involving party membership and party leadership support; as such, they also tend to be influential figures within their own party. This, for instance, has been true the case for every president elected under the [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity Party]] banner; they are either party leader or party president.

Besides the above-mentioned conventions and requirements, the Federal Constitution sets out the following eligibility qualifications. These being;

* A citizen of [[Yekateria]] and its constituent republics and territories, either by {{W|Jus soli|''jus soli''}} (citizen at birth) or naturalisation, of which the citizen is expected to have lived in the Federation for at least ten years or is a citizen of a polity that acceded to the Federation (such as is the case with former President [[William Taylor]])
* An individual who has reached the requisite age of 20 years;
* An individual without a conviction of treason or terrorism;
* An upstanding citizen who has not served a sentence in accordance with a criminal conviction within the past 5-10 years depending on the severity of the crime
* And an individual who holds respect for the system of democracy, and the essential basis of human rights.
* And is able to raise 200,000 Kr in electoral deposit (in accordance with electoral law) and does not face personal bankruptcy

=== Inauguration and oath ===
Following the successful election of a president, the president-elect usually meets with the outgoing president prior to assuming office. As a byproduct of the nation's fairly directorial system of government, this is usually held informally and occasionally without significant press presence. In such meetings, the outgoing president is expected to brief the incoming president on outstanding affairs and policy matters; such meetings are customary in order to facilitate a smooth transition between one government to the next. The president, depending on whether they are inaugurated on the same day as other leaders (such as the [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|Federal Chancellor]]) or whether if they are inaugurated on a separate day, congregates at either the [[Skavštona Grand Palace]] or the [[Federal Presidency Building]]. In the presence of spectators, the oath is administered by the Chief Justice of the [[Federal Court of Yekateria|Federal Court]], as follows;<blockquote>I, (name), The President of the Yekaterian Federation and the head of state of its 40 Republics, do swear that I will protect the ways of life of the Federation, and hold the Federal Constitution to a high regard; And to serve and protect the Federation from any threats, internal or external, faithfully and meaningfully, for as long as I am in office of the Federal President.</blockquote>As Yekateria is nominally an athiest state, the incoming Federal President is expected to omit any reference to a deity or higher power. This is followed due to the nation's highly non-religious population. Since 2050, no president has been a member of a religion. The new President is also expected to give an inaugural address, from which they are able to announce the themes and agenda of their government, of which their policy proposals will largely be based off of.

After the inauguration, the new President is given a welcoming ceremony by staffers of the [[Skavštona Grand Palace]]; they are given a detailed tour of the palace and are eventually ushered into their new office where they conduct a majority of their work in running the nation. A secondary office is reserved for their use in the [[Federal Presidency Building]], from which they are able to hold more public meetings. Following the necessary administrative duties, the president is then able to complete the transition by bringing in personal effects and conduct a minor redecoration of their new office.

=== Term ===
The president serves for five-year terms; and according to Article I, Section 2, Clause II of the Federal Constitution, is limited to three consecutive terms in office (for a total of 15 years). Following that, the president is expected to stand down for at least five years before considering another run in office; however, as of 2382, the only president subject to such restriction is [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]] (2366–2381). The president may be removed from office in the event of {{W|Impeachment|impeachment}} and removal by the House and Senate, if they resign, or in the case of their death.

== Vacancy and succession ==
In the event that the president dies, resigns, is incapacitated, or is impeached, the first deputy [[Federal Vice President of Yekateria|vice president]] assumes the position of acting president if the president will still be able to competently fulfill their duties (in the case of temporary incapacity). In the case of death, the acting president is elevated as the next president and holds the position until the next federal election. In the event that the first deputy is unable to fulfill the role, the responsibility will instead be held by the next vice president; creating a line of succession that extends down from the vice president to the chancellor and the secretaries, beginning with the [[Department of State (Yekateria)|Federal Secretary of State]] and ending with the nominally last secretary in the council, the [[Department of Youth Services (Yekateria)|Federal Secretary of Social Support Services]].

As of 2382, [[Anastasia Bukharova]] and [[Feliks Aleksandrov]] have been the only presidents to have succeeded a former president in this manner. Bukharova succeeded [[Vladimir Ponomarenko]] as president following his death in June 2255. She had previously served as premier preceding the latter's death. Meanwhile, Aleksandrov succeeded [[Lyudmila Malenkova]] in 2267 following her disappearance in office.

==Styles and benefits of office ==
[[File:Skavštona Palace.png|alt=Two palaces within the Yekaterian capital of Xanderholm, home to the President and Chancellor. The palaces host the head of state and head of government of Yekateria.|thumb|The Skavštona Palace (left), the home of the Federal President]]
The president enjoys an annual salary of 60,000,000 Korunas, a 100,000,000 Koruna yearly general expenses account, and a 500,000 Koruna miscellaneous spending account. In addition, the president is also provided a primary residence at the [[Skavštona Palace]] in [[Xanderholm]], with a secondary residence at the [[Blue Palace (Yekateria)|Blue Palace]] in [[Nataliska]], available for use at their own pleasure. Official affairs of state are funded by the [[Federal Government of Yekateria|Federal Government]], however non-official events are to be paid for personally by the President.{{Infobox manner of address|name=the Federal President of the Yekaterian Federation|reference=His/Her/Their Excellency|spoken=Your Excellency|alternative=Mr/Madame President|image= Federal President of Yekateria Emblem.svg|size=150}}Additionally, the president is also granted unrestricted access to several government-owned residences and retreats throughout the Federation: notable examples include the Nova Karpatia Lodge in Western [[Xandersko (YF)|Xandersko]], and the private residences within the [[Palace of the Revolution (Yekateria)|Palace of the Revolution]] in [[Nataliska]].

The president is provided a range of cars for use as the {{W|Official state car|official state car}}, largely limousines custom-built from Yekaterian companies such as [[Verona]], [[Carpathia (car brand)|Carpathia]], and [[Novegora]] as land vehicles. As for other forms of transport, the custom model [[Fedaero (aviation company)|Fedaero NCe 238]] serves as the official aerial transport over atmospheric territory. Meanwhile, the official spacecraft of choice is the [[Kosmona Dynamics|Kosmona VC-606X]] for use in interplanetary and intergalactic travel, as well as the Federal Yacht ''Veľká Yekateria'' for sea travel. The president's various forms of transportation enable them to reach all four corners of the intergalactic federation within a matter of days.

As for security, the president their family, and guests receive continuous personal protection from the [[Federal Security Force (Yekateria)|Federal Security Service]] (Federálochsluž), a government-funded security service for important state leaders. The protection lasts for as long as they are president + 25 years following their exit from the office, however they may request for their protection to be lifted or extended after 10 years of post-presidency protection. This provides them with the opportunity to seek further lower offices after completing a stint as president; however, their protection is essential especially due to the hyperpartisan nature of Yekaterian politics.

The president is officially styled with the title ''His/Her/Their Excellency'' and holds the highest rank within the Federal Government hierarchy. After leaving office, the style is still used when referring to the now-former president, however the style is then ''His/Her/Their Excellency the Former President''.

==Post-presidency==
Following their exit from office, all former presidents are entitled to pensions, office space, as well as security protections. To this end, former presidents are paid an annual pension of 430,000 Korunas, are entitled to subsidised health coverage and travelling expenses. Former presidents with substantial political legacies and influence may also collaborate with federal institutions in order to establish presidential libraries or provide for their papers and documents from their time in office to be displayed as part of the [[Federal Archives of Yekateria|Federal Archives]]. As of 2381, former presidents may also be offered advisory positions within the Federal Government itself, such as in the [[Federal Advisory Council of Yekateria|Federal Advisory Council]] and the [[Federal Constitutional Forum of Yekateria|Federal Constitutional Forum]].

Several presidents have also gone on to seek further office following their presidency: for example, [[Natalia Malenkova]], following her presidency, would go on to found the [[Federalist Party (Yekateria)|Federalist Party]] and the [[Greater Yekaterian Peoples' Party|Peoples' Party]], and successfully gained the chancellorship in 2356. Others, such as [[Elise Malenkova]] and [[Andrea de Rynsburger-Malenkova|Andrea de Rynsburger]], ran for seats in the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]], with the former becoming the [[Yekaterian Federal Assembly leadership|President pro-tempore of the Federal Senate]]. Despite the term limit of three consecutive five-year terms, it does not apply for life; allowing them the ability to run for president once again, as was the case with [[Philip-Alexander de Rynsburger]] in 2366, and [[Natalia Malenkova]] in 2350.

In the event that a former president becomes deceased, the family of the deceased is given the option and opportunity to have a state funeral held in their honour, being seen as a final farewell for the deceased president and as an opportunity to allow for reflection on the life of the deceased president, particularly covering their time in office. The funeral obligations are jointly shared between the [[Federal Assembly of Yekateria|Federal Assembly]] and the [[Federal Government of Yekateria|Federal Government]], with current leaders and still-living former leaders and their families being invited to attend the ceremony. The most recent state funeral held for a former president was that of [[Julia Malenkova]] (2384) who died of advanced age at 255 years old.

The '''Federal Vice President of Yekateria''' (''full title: '''Federal Vice President of the Yekaterian Federation'''''; Yekaterian: ''Federálny Vitse Preszident Yekaterskej Federácie'') is the deputy {{W|Head of state|head of state}} of the [[Yekateria|Yekaterian Federation]]. A member of the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]], the Federal Vice Presidents serve as the deputy to the [[Federal President of Yekateria|Federal President]], currently [[Karl Freitag]]. The Federal Vice President, along with their fellow members of the Council, are regarded as {{W|Primus inter pares|''primus inter pares''}} within the [[Federal Government of Yekateria|Federal Government]]. The vice president(s) are also members of the Federal Presidency, which carries out the management of the affairs of state through the Federal Executive. The vice presidents may also serve as secretaries of executive departments, although this is rare. They are elected in two ways; by the people through {{W|Indirect election|indirect election}} every general election, or through the [[Federal Senate of Yekateria|Federal Senate]], following the presentation of their nomination and vote by individual members, with no debate. The vice presidents stay in cabinet for the length of the President's term in office, however, they may re-run for subsequent terms.

==History==
Following the conclusion of the [[Great July Revolution of Yekateria|Great July Revolution]], the new revolutionary government under [[Peter Malenkov]] officially instituted the post of the "Deputy Chairman of the Presidium", appointing [[Aslan Daryanov]] and [[Gavril Andrupov]] to the position. The deputy chairman, later vice presidents, initially also served as the vice premiers to the premiers. The vice presidents were initially powerless, until a new law under the presidency of [[Natalia Malenkova]] granted the vice presidents greater powers and influence. For instance, vice president [[Yulia Ivanskova]] held significant influence in her role as the overseer of Yekateria's public television, whilst vice president [[Aleksandr Semenov]] served as president of Kalysia.

Until 2290, the position was typically held by two people at the same time, with one serving as the first deputy. The position saw its greatest growth under [[Natalia Malenkova]]'s second time in office in the 2290s, growing from two vice presidents to six. However, this was reduced down back to a single vice president under [[Elise Malenkova]] in 2305.

The vice president position has since expanded in numbers, with [[Roland Schöfauer]] becoming the first ''second vice president'' in over half a century. The number of vice presidents has much more significantly expanded since 2371, from three vice presidents to six vice presidents in the present day.
==Office and appointment mechanism==

The Federal Constitution sets out the following eligibility qualifications for vice presidents, as deputies of the president. These being;

*A citizen of [[Yekateria]] and its constituent republics and territories, either by {{W|Jus soli|''jus soli''}} (citizen at birth) or naturalisation, of which the citizen is expected to have lived in the Federation for at least ten years or is a citizen of a polity that acceded to the Federation (such as is the case with former Vice Presidents [[William Taylor]] and [[Roland Schöfauer]])
*An individual who has reached the requisite age of 20 years;
*An individual without a conviction of treason or terrorism;
*An upstanding citizen who has not served a sentence in accordance with a criminal conviction within the past 5-10 years depending on the severity of the crime
*And an individual who holds respect for the system of democracy, and the essential basis of human rights.
*And is able to jointly raise, with the presidential candidate, 200,000 Kr in electoral deposit (in accordance with electoral law) and does not face personal bankruptcy

===Inauguration and oath===
The Vice President is inaugurated either at the [[Skavštona Grand Palace]] or the [[Federal Presidency Building]] depending on their circumstances of their election and are sworn in by a Junior Member of the [[Federal Constitutional Forum of Yekateria|Federal Constitutional Forum]]. The oath is as follows;<blockquote>I, (name), The Vice President of the Yekaterian Federation, do swear that I will protect the ways of life of the Federation, and hold the Federal Constitution to a high regard; And to serve and protect the Federation from any threats, internal or external; Faithfully and meaningfully, for as long as I am in office of the Federal Vice President.</blockquote>As Yekateria is nominally an {{W|State atheism|atheist state}}, the incoming Federal Vice President is expected to omit any reference to a deity or higher power. This is followed due to the nation's highly non-religious population. The new Vice President is typically given the opportunity to announce their supporting role in government and their planned policy area, whilst also attempting to complement the President's inaugural speech.
===Office===
After inauguration, the vice president is given a role or policy area to cover by the [[Federal President of Yekateria|federal president]]. The vice presidents are typically considered to be the mediators between the civil service and the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]] in implementing and executing policy. The vice presidents may also be elected from different parties, as part of a coalition. This, as such, allows coalition parties to peacefully wield significant influence without clashing over the potential issue of one coalition member holding too much power and influence.

In their role as the deputy to the president, the first deputy typically takes over for the president's duties in the event that the president is out-of-town, incapacitated, or too busy. As such, the first deputy vice president is seen as the president's closest deputy and are expected to be the closest available to the president in event of emergencies.

Should the president's office be vacant, most likely from death or the president's resignation, the vice presidents are first-in-line to succeed the president, especially that of the First Deputy Federal Vice President.
==Style and benefits of office==
{{Infobox manner of address|name=the Federal Vice President of the Yekaterian Federation|reference=His/Her/Their Excellency|spoken=Your Excellency|alternative=Mr/Madame Vice President|image=Federal Vice President of Yekateria Emblem.svg|size=150}}The vice presidents each enjoy an annual salary of 48,000,000 Korunas, a 20,000,000 Koruna yearly general expenses account, and a 250,000 Koruna miscellaneous spending account. Historically, presidents were given private housing across the capital [[Xanderholm]], however are now provided with the [[Vladaholm Executive Mansions]] available for use at their own pleasure. Official affairs of state are funded by the [[Federal Government of Yekateria|Federal Government]], however non-official events are to be paid for personally by the Vice President(s).

As for security, the vice presidents, their family, and guests receive continuous personal protection from the [[Federal Security Force (Yekateria)|Federal Security Service]] (Federálochsluž), a government-funded security service for important state leaders. The protection lasts for as long as they are vice president + 15 years following their exit from the office, however they may request for their protection to be lifted or extended after 10 years of post-vice presidency protection. This provides them with the opportunity to seek further lower or higher offices after completing a stint as vice president; however their protection is essential especially due to the hyperpartisan nature of Yekaterian politics.

The vice president is officially styled with the title ''His/Her/Their Excellency'' and jointly holds the third-highest rank within the Federal Government hierarchy with the [[Federal Vice Chancellor of Yekateria|Federal Vice Chancellors]], behind the [[Federal President of Yekateria|Federal President]]. After leaving office, the style is still used when referring to the now-former vice president, however the style is then ''His/Her/Their Excellency the Former Vice President''.

==Incumbent vice presidents==
The current vice presidents constitute part of the [[Freitag-Schöfauer-Andersen cabinet]]. The vice presidents have been in government since 1 February 2401, and consists of four vice presidents.

The '''Federal Vice Chancellor of Yekateria''' (''full title: '''Federal Vice Chancellor of the Yekaterian Federation'''''; Yekaterian: ''Federálny Vitse Kantselar Yekaterskej Federácie'') is the deputy {{W|Head of government|head of government}} of the [[Yekateria|Yekaterian Federation]]. A member of the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]], the Federal Vice Chancellor serves as the deputy to the [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|Federal Chancellor]], currently [[Lukas Hochburger]]. The Federal Vice Chancellor, along with their fellow members of the Council, are regarded as {{W|Primus inter pares|''primus inter pares''}} within the [[Federal Government of Yekateria|Federal Government]]. The vice chancellor(s) are also members of the Federal Chancellery, which carries out the day-to-day running of Yekateria through the various federal executive departments. The vice chancellors may also serve as secretaries of their respective executive departments, as a result of recent precedent. They are elected by the [[House of the Federals of Yekateria|House of the Federals]], following the presentation of their nomination and vote by individual members, with no debate. The Federal Vice Chancellor requires the confidence of the [[House of the Federals of Yekateria|House of the Federals]], however they may only be removed through resignations and loss of confidence. Moreover, the vice chancellors stay in cabinet for the length of the Chancellor's term in office, however, they may be reappointed across multiple cabinets.

==History==
Following the conclusion of the [[Great July Revolution of Yekateria|Great July Revolution]], the new revolutionary government under [[Peter Malenkov]] officially instituted the post of the "Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers", appointing [[Aslan Daryanov]] and [[Gavril Andrupov]] to the position. The deputy chairman, later vice premiers, initially also served as the vice presidents to the president. The vice premiers were initially powerless, until a new law under the premiership of [[Kristina Shelebkova]] granted the vice premiers greater powers and influence. For instance, vice premier [[Lyudmila Ivanko]] served at the same time as the President of [[Kalysia (YF)|Kalysia]], whilst vice premier [[Ivan Zelenogorsky]] served as trade and finance minister.

Until 2290, the position was typically held by two people at the same time, with one serving as the first deputy. The position was renamed to vice chancellor following the implementation of the ''Zákon o reforme premiérskeho-ministra úradu'' (Act on Reform of the Premieral Office) in 2345, with [[William-Alexander de Rynsburger]] becoming the inaugural vice chancellor.

The vice chancellor position has since expanded in numbers, with [[Ryan Hochhahn]] becoming the first ''second vice chancellor'' in over half a century. The number of vice chancellors has much more significantly expanded since 2371, from three vice chancellors to six vice chancellors in the present day.

== Office and appointment mechanism ==
As the Vice Chancellors are also members of the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]] at the same time, the qualifications for the office are the same as that of a typical deputy. These being;
*A citizen of [[Yekateria]] and its constituent republics and territories, either by {{W|Jus soli|''jus soli''}} (citizen at birth) or {{W|Naturalization|naturalisation}}, of which the citizen is expected to have lived in the Federation for at least five years or is a citizen of a polity that acceded to the Federation
*An individual who has reached the requisite age of 20 years;
*An individual without a conviction of {{W|Treason|treason}} or {{W|Terrorism|terrorism}};
*An upstanding citizen who has not served a sentence in accordance with a criminal conviction within the past 5-10 years depending on the severity of the crime
*And an individual who holds respect for the system of {{W|Democracy|democracy}}, the essential basis of {{W|Human rights|human rights}}, and does not face {{W|Personal bankruptcy|personal bankruptcy}}.
Should they meet these qualifications, the Vice Chancellor is nominated by the Chancellor and presented as part of a "slate" (''vitsekantselár bridlice'') in which federal deputies may accept or reject the entire slate of vice chancellor nominees. However, as these nominations are always discussed as part of coalition agreements and include key leaders in the coalition parties, these nominations have always been passed without incident.

The voting process typically takes place on the first day of a new convocation of the [[House of Federals of Yekateria|House of Federals]], following the election of Speaker and Chancellor.

=== Inauguration and oath ===
The Vice Chancellor is inaugurated either at the [[Skavštona Grand Palace]] or the [[Federal Chancellery Building]] depending on their circumstances of their election and are sworn in by a Junior Justice of the [[Federal Court of Yekateria|Federal Court]]. The oath is as follows;<blockquote>I, (name), Vice Chancellor of the Yekaterian Federation, do swear that I will protect the ways of life of the Federation, and hold the Federal Constitution to a high regard; and to serve and protect the Federation from any threats, internal or external; Faithfully and meaningfully, for as long as I am in the office of the Federal Vice Chancellor.</blockquote>As Yekateria is nominally an {{W|State athiesm|athiest state}}, the incoming Federal Vice Chancellor is expected to omit any reference to a deity or higher power. This is followed due to the nation's highly non-religious population. With the initial inauguration of [[Ryan Hochhahn]] in 2356 as Vice Chancellor, Yekateria's first leader to belong to a religion in over 300 years, this initially brought up concerns about religious influence in government; however, Vice Chancellor Hochhahn elected to stick to the norm, staying with it after being elected as Chancellor. The new Vice Chancellor is typically given the opportunity to announce their party's plans in government, whilst also attempting to complement the Chancellor's inaugural speech.

=== Office ===
After inauguration, the vice chancellor typically first fulfills their role as secretary of their executive department, followed by their duty as a deputy of the [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|federal chancellor]]. The portfolios represented by the vice chancellors are typically considered to be those valuable to the advancement of policies and goals of the incumbent cabinet, which further improves the standing and opinions held by them in every meeting of the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]]. This, as such, allows coalition parties to peacefully wield significant influence without clashing over the potential issue of one coalition member holding too much power and influence.

In their role as the deputy to the chancellor, the first deputy typically takes over for the chancellor's duties in the event that the chancellor is out-of-town, incapacitated, or too busy. As such, the first deputy vice chancellor is seen as the chancellor's closest deputy and are expected to be the closest available to the chancellor in event of emergencies.

Should the chancellor's office be vacant, most likely from death or the chancellor's resignation, the vice chancellors are typically expected to resign in the latter case, becoming a {{W|Caretaker cabinet|caretaker cabinet}}. However, for the former, the first deputy vice chancellor becomes the acting chancellor until a successor is formalised. So far, no chancellors have died in office.

== Style and benefits of office ==
{{Infobox manner of address|name=the Federal Vice Chancellor of the Yekaterian Federation|reference=His/Her/Their Excellency|spoken=Your Excellency|alternative=Mr/Madame Vice Chancellor|image= Federal Vice Chancellor of Yekateria Emblem.svg|size=150}}The vice chancellors each enjoy an annual salary of 48,000,000 Korunas, a 20,000,000 Koruna yearly general expenses account, and a 250,000 Koruna miscellaneous spending account. Historically, vice chancellors were given private housing across the capital [[Xanderholm]], however are now provided with the [[Vladaholm Executive Mansions]] available for use at their own pleasure. Official affairs of state are funded by the [[Federal Government of Yekateria|Federal Government]], however non-official events are to be paid for personally by the Vice Chancellor(s).

As for security, the vice chancellor, their family, and guests receive continuous personal protection from the [[Federal Security Force (Yekateria)|Federal Security Service]] (Federálochsluž), a government-funded security service for important state leaders. The protection lasts for as long as they are vice chancellor + 15 years following their exit from the office, however they may request for their protection to be lifted or extended after 10 years of post-vice chancellorship protection. This provides them with the opportunity to seek further lower offices after completing a stint as vice chancellor; however their protection is essential especially due to the hyperpartisan nature of Yekaterian politics.

The vice chancellor is officially styled with the title ''His/Her/Their Excellency'' and jointly holds the third-highest rank within the Federal Government hierarchy with the [[Federal Vice President of Yekateria|Federal Vice Presidents]], behind the [[Federal President of Yekateria|Federal President]]. After leaving office, the style is still used when referring to the now-former vice chancellor, however the style is then ''His/Her/Their Excellency the Former Vice Chancellor''.

==Incumbent vice chancellors==
The current vice chancellors constitute the [[Freitag-Westermarck cabinet]]. The cabinet has been in government since 7 April 2402, and consists of five vice-chancellors.

The '''''Federálvorusil''''' ({{Small|Yekaterian}}: [''/ˈfɛdɛraːlˈvɔrusil/''], meaning literally: ''Federal Armed Forces'') is the armed forces of the [[Yekateria|Yekaterian Federation]]. The ''Federálvorusil'' is divided into the [[Yekaterian Federal Army|Federal Army]], the [[Yekaterian Federal Navy|Federal Navy]], the [[Yekaterian Federal Air Force|Federal Air Force]], the [[Yekaterian Federal Space Force|Federal Space Force]], the [[Yekaterian Federal Special Operations Forces|Federal Special Operations Forces]], and the non-combat branches, consisting of the [[Yekaterian Federal Logistics and Support Service|Federal Logistics and Support Service]] and the [[Yekaterian Federal Military Intelligence|Federal Military Intelligence]]. Auxiliary branches also include the [[Yekaterian Federal Legions|Federal National Legions]], the country's militia, as well as the [[Yekaterian Blue Legion|Blue Legions]], a special paramilitary force.

The various service branches are responsible for a particular domain – the Army conducts land operations, the Navy conducts maritime littoral operations, the Air Force conducts aerial operations, and the Space Force conducts space operations. The Special Operations Forces, meanwhile, serves as an elite counterpart to the four main branches, playing a supporting role in strategic and operational objectives. The Logistics and Support Service handles {{W|Military logistics|military logistics}} and {{W|Military medicine|military medical}} needs across the four main service branches, while the Military Intelligence serves as the main {{W|Military intelligence|intelligence}} branch of the entire Federal Armed Forces. In addition to the conventional military, the Federálvorusil includes the [[Yekaterian Federal Legions|Federal National Legions]], the country's national militia, as well as the [[Yekaterian Blue Legion|Blue Legions]], a paramilitary force with a largely unknown purpose besides serving that of a separate special force.

Initially formed as the [[Red Army of Yekateria|People's Red Army of Yekateria]] in the prelude to the Great July Revolution, the ''Federálvorusil'' played a decisive and crucial role in [[History of Malenkovist Yekateria|the country's history]], having successfully fended off numerous regime change attempts by hostile enemies against the [[Malenkovism|Malenkovist]] government and serving as the country's primary defender and power projectionist. The ''Federálvorusil'' also played a key role in Yekateria's territorial evolution, with its forces bringing several formerly independent nations into the Yekaterian fold over the years. The ''Federálvorusil'' falls under the jurisdiction of the [[Federal Department of Defense (Yekateria)|Federal Department of Defence]] (Federálobrany), currently led by [[Franzi Schöfauer]].

The [[Federal President of Yekateria]] is the [[Supreme Commander-in-chief of Yekateria|Supreme Commander-in-Chief]] of the armed forces and forms military policy with the Federálobrany, with the advice of the [[Federal Chancellery of Yekateria]]. Through the Federal Security Council, these organs of government are ultimately responsible for forming and carrying out Yekateria's military policy.

As of January 2402, the ''Federálvorusil'' had a strength of 904 billion active-duty personnel and 55 billion civilian personnel, placing it among the largest military forces in the universe. In addition, the ''Federálvorusil'' has approximately 430 billion reserve personnel and 142 billion legionnaires under the [[Yekaterian Federal Legions|Federal National Legions]]. The ''Federálvorusil'' is also fairly well-funded, with Yekaterian military expenditures currently at $8.6 sextillion as of 2402, making up 4.6% of national GDP. Currently, the number of personnel is evenly split between human and {{W|Military robot|non-human}} (android) soldiers, although there are plans to increase the number of android soldiers in the armed forces.

Following increased Yekaterian international participation following the [[Yekaterian visit to Majapahit|Yekaterian diplomatic visit to Majapahit]] and opening up, the [[Federal Government of Yekateria|Yekaterian government]] is planning to reorganise the ''Federálvorusil'' to better suit changing times.

==History==
{{Main|Military history of Yekateria|List of wars involving Yekateria}}
Whilst Yekateria has had standing armies for its numerous centuries of existence, the history of the ''Federálvorusil'' dates back to the formation of the [[Yekaterian People's Red Army|People's Red Army]] in the lead-up to the [[Great July Revolution of Yekateria|Great July Revolution]]. These forces were initially formed out of worker-volunteers in support of the [[Communist Party of the Yekaterian Federation|Communist Party of Yekateria]], as well as working-class defectors from the former [[Yekaterian Royal Armed Forces]]. Following liberal reforms in the early-middle 24th century, however, the armed forces were seen as "too conservative" and many reformists saw the need for political neutrality within the armed forces to avoid the possibility of {{W|military coups}}.

=== Modern foundation ===
The ''Federálvorusil'' was proposed as a name for the then-[[People's Armed Forces of Yekateria]] by several reformist politicians in light of the [[Reforms of the Middle 24th Century]], as part of {{W|decommunization|decommunisation}} and the dropping of socialist symbolism from the armed forces in the name of political neutrality. The {{W|Red star|''Krasnaya Zvezda''}} (Red Star), a communist symbol and the symbol of the People's Red Army, was retained, with the emblem of the [[Federal Department of Defence (Yekateria)|Federal Department of Defence]] overlaid on the star.

While the founding leaders of the new ''Federálvorusil'' saw it as a continuation of the [[People's Armed Forces of Yekateria|People's Armed Forces]] and the People's Red Army, they sought to also distance the new armed forces's traditions from the "ideologically loaded" past, with {{W|Political commissar|political commissars}} being an early casualty of the reforms and troop training focusing on fighting power over ideological loyalty.

A member of the [[Social Democrats of Yekateria|Social Democrats]], she also concurrently serves as [[Yekaterian Federal Department of Welfare and Social Services|federal secretary of welfare and social services]] and as a [[House of Federals of Yekateria|federal deputy]] representing Kalysia. Previously, she served as [[Yekaterian Federal Department of Labour and Human Capital|federal secretary of labour and human capital]] from 2388 to 2391 and as [[Yekaterian Federal Department of Communications|federal secretary of communications]] from 2386 to 2388.

Born in Ny-Älvstad, Kalysia, to upper-middle-class parents, Westermarck studied law before going on to practise labour law in 2379 and entering full-time politics in 2383 with her election to the [[House of the Federals of Yekateria|House of the Federals]] as a federal deputy from West Fredosstad-Stenvik with the [[Social Democrats of Yekateria|Social Democrats]]. As federal deputy, she served in the House Committee on Business, Labour, and Commerce and the House Committee on the Judiciary, becoming vice chair of the former and establishing herself as a notable defender of labour rights and their application through law. Following the consolidation of federal departments in the [[Federal Council of Yekateria|Federal Council]] from 2386 and an opening for a Social Democratic seat, Westermarck was nominated by president [[Lukas Hochburger]] and chancellor [[Karl Freitag]] to succeed [[Eva Leonova]] as [[Federal Department of Communications (Yekateria)|Federal Secretary of Communications]], later being moved to head the [[Federal Department of Labour and Human Capital (Yekateria)|Federal Department of Labour and Human Capital]] following the reshuffle that came with the inauguration of the [[Fourth Hochburger-Freitag cabinet|Hochburger-Freitag IV cabinet]].

Following the [[2390 Yekaterian federal elections|2390 federal elections]] and the elevation of [[Mark Winters]] to the chancellorship, Westermarck was elected by a party-wide vote to become first deputy chair of the party, under the lead of chairman [[Martien van der Meer]]. She would also be nominated and confirmed to become [[Federal Department of Welfare and Social Services (Yekateria)|federal secretary of welfare and social services]], with political observers putting her as a "potential successor" to Winters as party leader. She was also chosen as the third [[Federal Vice Chancellor of Yekateria|vice chancellor]] candidate in the elections and was elected to the position, further supporting the predictions. Westermarck would become the Social Democrats' party leader in 2396, following Winters's retirement after 15 years in the position, with the support of political ally and elected party chair [[Sofia Volkova]]. However, with the loss of the [[Asteran–Liberal Democratic Alliance]]'s majority in the [[2395 Yekaterian federal elections|2395 federal elections]], Westermarck became first deputy federal leader of the opposition under [[Julia Schöfauer-Andersen]], becoming first vice chancellor with Schöfauer-Andersen's election as chancellor in the [[2398 Yekaterian midterm elections|2398 midterm elections]]. With [[Julia Schöfauer-Andersen]]'s voluntary retirement from the position of [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria|federal chancellor]] in April 2402, Westermarck was hence voted on and elected as federal chancellor by the [[House of the Federals of Yekateria|House of the Federals]].

As chancellor, she pushed for the further tightening of {{W|Motor vehicle registration|motor vehicle registration}} regulations, aiming to curb the frequently increasing amount of vehicles on Yekaterian roads. Westermarck also faced the expansion and then curbing of the efforts in the [[Yekaterian War against Goudaism]], co-signing the ''Federal Declaration on the Incompatibility of Goudaism with the Free Universe'' and greenlighting [[Operation Semicentennial Hand]] alongside President [[Karl Freitag]]. She describes herself as a moderate social democrat, supporting a consensus-based {{W|Polarity (international relations)|multipolar}} universal order, with agreements across power blocs based on common ground beliefs.

'''Karl Freitag''' ({{Small|Yekaterian:}} [''/ˈkarl ˈfraɪ̯taːk/'']; born 10 February 2346) is a [[Yekateria|Yekaterian]] politician who is the 41st and incumbent [[Federal President of Yekateria|president of Yekateria]], having taken office on 1 February 2401. Previously, he served as the 48th and leading [[Federal Vice President of Yekateria|vice president of Yekateria]] from 2391 to 2401. He also served concurrently as the acting [[Federal President of Yekateria|president of Yekateria]] from 23 June 2396 to 1 August 2396 during then-incumbent [[Karl-Alexander Rynsbürgen]]'s impeachment and suspension from office. A member of the [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity Party]], Freitag has also served as the party chairman since 2390 and previously as its leader from 2378 to 2390. His most recent office was as the [[Federal Chancellor of Yekateria]] from 2386 to 2391, also having previously served in the office from September 2381 to March 2384. Prior to that, he served as the First Vice Chancellor between March 2384 and January 2386 as well as from January to September 2381, and as the [[Yekaterian Federal Assembly Leadership|Majority Leader of the House of Federals]] of the Yekaterian Federation from 2378 to 2381. He also served as the inaugural [[International Representative of Yekateria|International Representative]] from 2376 to 2378 and was instrumental in the [[Yekaterian diplomatic visit to Majapahit]], which saw the beginning of relations between Yekateria and the international community after several decades of isolation due in part to aggressive Yekaterian foreign policy. Ideologically, he identifies as a left-Asteranist, a subset of the [[Asteranism|Asteran]] ideology emphasising {{W|Social corporatism|social corporatism}} and {{W|Left-wing nationalism|left-wing nationalism}}, and is the leader of the Left Solidarity Faction.

Freitag was born in the suburban [[Districts of Xanderholm|Demokracie Okres]] in [[Xanderholm]], attending the Vladaholmska Valentina Gymnasium, and later attended the Political School of the Xanderholm Federal University in Malenkovska Okres, earning a master's degree in international relations. He later joined the [[Yekaterian Department of State|Federal Department of State]]'s Foreign Diplomatic Planning Office, then in a sorry state after an aggressive turn in foreign relations by Secretary of State [[Mikaela Andersen]] and was quickly promoted due to a constant turnover in the office.

Freitag was then appointed as the inaugural [[International Representative of Yekateria|International Representative]] following a new shift in Yekaterian policy, becoming the third-most important figure in the State Department following Secretary of State [[Mikaela Andersen]] and Deputy Secretary of State [[Sofia Merkusheva]]. As International Representative, Freitag received widespread praise for his lead in orchestrating the [[Yekaterian diplomatic visit to Majapahit]] and the subsequent visit of the Majapahitian leadership to Yekateria.

His rapid rise to prominence eventually resulted in calls for his election as [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity]]'s leader, which was realised after collaborating with Vice President [[Lukas Hochburger]] and Senator [[Karl-Alexander Rynsbürgen]] for the party leadership positions. Freitag's position in the Left Asteran caucus also brought him further prominence in Yekateria's left-wing crowd, resulting his election as Majority Leader on the same day as his inauguration as Federal Deputy.

Chosen as [[Solidarity Party (Yekateria)|Solidarity]]'s chancellor-candidate in the 2380 elections, Freitag became First Vice Chancellor under the [[Hochburger-Ernman cabinet]] and subsequently as [[Secretary of State (Yekateria)|Secretary of State]]. Following Chancellor [[Eleonora Ernman]]'s resignation, however, he was elevated to the Chancellorship following the renegotiation of the SFSZL Coalition Agreement. As Chancellor, Freitag proposed the expansion of powers for the new [[Statrade (Yekateria)|Statrade]] public organisation, having been the first Chancellor in decades (since [[William Taylor]]) to not hold a secretaryship at the same time, pledging to improve government efficiency. He was also the first Chancellor ever to have six deputies. He retired from the chancellery and ran as [[Karl-Alexander Rynsbürgen]]'s running mate for first vice president in the [[2390 Yekaterian presidential election|2390 presidential election]], serving as [[Federal Vice President of Yekateria|first vice president]] from 2391 to 2401.

Freitag ran for president in the [[2400 Yekaterian presidential election|2400 presidential election]], winning in the second round with 51.02% of the vote, sworn in on 1 February 2401 following electoral confirmation delays from November 2400 to January 2401. As president, Freitag pushed forward with the [[Yekaterian War against Goudaism]] and the strategic denial of Goudaist attack capability following the [[Goudaist Bombardment of Gardenia]]. His tenure has also been marked by a strategic alignment with Majapahit over the war against Goudaism, despite the war effort's legal curbing by the [[Federal People's Assembly of Yekateria|Federal People's Assembly]], in spite of his attempts to morally justify the war and form a "coalition of the willing" to end the organisation.
