Tsardom of Levna
Tsardom of Levna is the most western country in Veneficia. It occupies most of the lands west of the Great Lake. The Tsardom belongs to one of the most powerful countries in the world. Only Kingdom of Lachia and Empire of Relan can rival it. On the other side, Tsardom is also the most oppresive and backwards country. The feudal system still functions there in its full might and nobles treat peasants living and working on their lands in a not very good way. Any attempts by the inhabitants of the cities to have more say in state affairs have been quelled by the nobility and the Tsar claiming such ideas to be "a poison from the east".
Tsar, Saviour and the Fatherland
Demography and Population
Majority of the Tsardom's population is of the Levnan culture. They are most common in their homeland in the southern part of the country and in the region of the city of Roshova, the country's capital.
In the most northern parts of the Tsardom lives a group known as the Sewierans, what means northmen in levnan language. The Tsar doesn't see them as equal to the Levnans. Both the nobility and the state administration is persecuting them and trying to force them into assimilation. However, there is little success. In the history of the Tsardom there have been many sewieran rebellions, but all were brutally crushed.
Religion
Majority of the population worships the Saviour and follows the teachings of his Church. In the north, the Sewierans worship their own ice deities and are resistant to conversion.
Education
The basic education is state-run and focused on creating loyal subjects. Ideas of patriotism, honour and religion are taught to students along other practical things. Every day the lessons start with students reciting the Oath.
I pledge allegiance to the Tsar who is blessed by the Saviour and promise to serve him to the last day of my life
