Galzbiristan

Galzbiristan, officially the Republic of Galzbiristan (Galzbiri: Galzbiriston Respublikaşi or Галзвиристон Республикаши) is a country in southeastern Floresia, bordering Eistaan to the southwest, New Germany to the west, Bantaland to the north, and Balykhstan to the east. In terms of land area, it is the fifth largest country in Vanadia, although a large portion of the country (approx. 63.2%) is arid or desert terrain, with the Great Ghyrghun Desert taking up the northeastern corner of the country.

Galzbiristan was part of the Russian governorate from the late 18th century until independence in 1933, thenceforth becoming the Socialist-People's Republic of Galzbiristan under the 58-year dictatorial rule of Garjanbek Stanan. Stanan embarked on a series of failed economic programs that cased the Galzbiri economy to falter and fall behind the rest of the world, and indirectly led to devastating famines that decimated the country's population. After Stanan's death in 1991, his handpicked successor Guqlanlalbeý Itmańbĕbýew took over the presidency, but was soon ousted in a dramatic coup and a previously minor member of the Communist Party, Okeldy Pritweşjow, seized power. Pritweşjow dismantled the one-party dictatorship, ostensibly making the country into a multi-party presidential republic, although the Great Divinity Sovereign Galzbiristan Party, the direct successor the the Communist Party, maintains almost complete monopoly in the Olyý Mĕjlis (Supreme Assembly).
