Kadolha

Kadolha (Kadolhan: Кадољска / Kadoljska), officially the Republic of Kadolha (Kadolhan: Народовладство Кадољска / Narodovladstvo Kadoljska), is a  located in southern Zemlya, bordering Bloodia to the northwest, Lipnitia to the north and Lubilia to the east. Kradelas, is located in the Capital Voivodeship and it is the official seating of the government.

The Kadolhans are an ethnic group that formed in the Cozars in the 6th century, migrating from what is now known as modern-day Sremia. The Kadolhans carried out multiple attacks and raids against the Eutrucian Empire, and eventually an invasion that would leave the Eutrucian legions crippled. Eutrucian garrisons retreated to what is now modern-day Cestros and Kadolhans pushed further into the Cozars, and in 603 would form the Kadolhan despotate, with Nemanja I Vračarević as the despot and the first recorded leader of Kadolha. The despotate controlled what is now northeastern Kadolha and western Lubilia, with the throne based in Laškana. In 692, Radoslav II Vračarević declared himself king and officially established the Kingdom of Kadolha. The kingdom extended further east into Lubilia, up north into southern Lipnitia, westwards and southwards deeper into the Cozars. In 713, the capital was moved from Laškana to Kradelas.

In 722, Stefan I Vračarević proclaimed himself as the Emperor of Kadolha and established the Kadolhan Empire, which started an entirely new chapter in Kadolhan history. The Kadolhan Empire would see numerous expansion wars throughout its entire existence, whereas the golden age of the empire was considered to be under Nikola III Belosavljević. Nikola III reformed Kadolhan Rodnovery and placed as the chief god, replacing  in this role, but this would be reverted back in the 14th century. During the golden age, the Kadolhan Empire expanded in all directions, conquering land which is now modern-day Kadolha, all of Lubilia, western Trakia and moving the boundry in Lipnitia further up north. Other campaigns expanded the empire southwards and southeastwards. The Kadolhan Empire conquered half of modern-day Lipnitia and the Satarian kingdoms at the time. Dragoljub III Vukašinović began a war with various Cestrosian states, but while only making significant territorial gains into northern Cestros, though his attention later diverted to the Vretekans in the west. Years after battling Cestrosians and Vretekans, all sides would come to a stalemate, but as a result the Kadolhan Empire began to decline. Civil unrest, poverty and nobles' demands forced Dragoljub III to officially disband the Kadolhan Empire in 1503 and resign from the throne. The dissolution allowed fourteen new Kadolhan states to emerge and territory outside of Kadolhan borders to become independent or vassals to other states.

A five-year long debate among the successor states whether a state centered around the capital city of Kradelas should exist, called the Kradelas Question among historians, took place. It was decided that Kradelas would be established whilst holding its original territory under the Kadolhan Empire. The Principality of Kradelas was officially declared in 1508. A century later, the Principality of Kradelas recovered from its injuries, forming a significantly large army and becoming the center of the idea of a unified Kadolha. The Principality of Kradelas would go to declare war on the successor states in 1624, except the Republic of Kalalj, whom it allied with, and would continue to wage a devastating war until 1711, where it emerged victorious and successfully reunified Kadolha on July 26. In the same year, the Principality of Kradelas and its throne was abolished, and the First Kadolhan Republic was declared. The First Republic was based on the system of the Eutrucian Republic and lasted up until 1802. The 1802 coup that toppled the First Republic, established the Second Kadolhan Republic with a much more democratic presidential system, along with a reformed constitution. The Second Republic invaded and annexed the Kingdom of Lubilia in 1897, often characterized as an attempt to create Greater Kadolha.

[FIRST GREAT WAR]

The Second Kadolhan Republic, despite emerging victorious, was economically crippled by the First Great War. To make matters worse, the government passed liberalization reforms in 1920, legalizing all sorts of degeneracy, opening borders and allowing more foreigners to enter the country. The same year, the National Revivalist Party was formed, and would function as an underground movement for the next four years. The National Revivalist Party would put up posters and drop flyers, while Kadolhans were becoming more aware of the situation their country found themselves in. This allowed Revivalism to gain popularity and the movement would grow stronger over the years. In the early morning on August 5, 1924, Dragan Obrenović led 50,000 supporters and militiamen in Kradelas, seizing control over the city and then the National Assembly Building with little to no resistance. This event came to be known as The Storming of Kradelas. The Third Kadolhan Republic was officially declared on the same day. The proclamation of the Kadolhan People's Republic in 1931 marked the start of the Kadolhan Civil War, which lasted for only two months, being suppressed rather quickly.

[SECOND GREAT WAR AND POST-WAR PERIOD]

In 1991, Kadolha, with its ally South Lubilia, invaded the Lubilian SCR, at the same time as the Bloodian invasion of Sataria began. The invasion resulted in the occupation of northern Lubilia in 1992, but with the decision of the 1992 Congress of Ljećakow, the occupied territory became part of the Lipnitia-Lubilia, instead of reunifying with Lubilia. This decision caused the Bloodian-Kadolhan Split and forced Bloodia to leave CSDO.

Kadolha is the leading member of the Collective Strategic Defense Organization (CSDO). Kadolha has adhered a isolationist policy with closed borders, although there are many ethnic groups located on the borders with neighboring countries. Kadolha is ranked as one of the richest and most developed countries in the world.

Prehistory and antiquity
Humans have inhabited Kadolha since the, as proven by archeological discoveries from across the country. Archeological evidence that there were human inhabitants during the was only found in a small area in the northeastern portion of the country.

Archeological finds prove that roughly between 7,000 BI and 4,500 BI is when cultures like the Kaluča culture, Neleč culture and Kočave culture were present in the western Cozars. Pottery believed to belong to the Neleč are the most commonly found in excavation sites. Only one example of culture was found at an excavation site in western Kadolha.

The saw Kadolha primarily populated by five major tribes, three of which were situated in the south and believed to be Lyrenic tribes. Volari and Ikalasi were settled in the north, Kartaka, Pavari and Jerteri in the south. These tribes were first discovered and documented by the Anciest Cestrosians. There was also a number of tribes that settled in northern Kadolha.

During the expansion of the Eutrucian Empire, the majority of the land was conquered and was the site of multiple rebellions and battles. The Eutrucians established the province of Lyrenium in 188 BI, which encompassed the south of the country. The land was dotted with Eutrucian cities, settlements, forts, military camps, temples and palaces, notably the remnants of the city of Saradium, located in western Vežaljska.

The arrival of the Slavs to the Cozars saw a significant amount of Eutrucian cities and settlements sacked, including Cestrosian settlements after the Eutrucian Empire was kicked out of the Cozars. There are remnants of Cestrosian forts, settlements and one city in southern Kadolha today.

Despotate
The prelude to the establishment of the Kadolhan despotate is the Slavic migration to the Cozars and the formation of the Kadolhans as an ethnic group. Kadolhans quickly came into contact with the Eutrucian Empire that they started to ravage and sack. With the Eutrucian Empire facing its downfall, the Kadolhans were mostly successful in pushing the Eutrucians deeper into the Cozars, while settling on conquered land in the process.

603 marks the year the Kadolhan despotate was officially established with Nemanja I Vračarević as despot, who is also the first recorded Kadolhan leader. Nemanja I sought to destroy the Eutrucian Empire and expel it from the Cozars after expanding the despotate more south, but died of old age in 626. Radoslav I Vračarević expanded the country into western Lubilia and westwards into the mainland, though Radoslav II Vračarević was responsible for campaigning deeper into the Cozars. The despotate reached its maximum extent before Radoslav II declared himself king and established the Kingdom of Kadolha.

Kingdom
The Kingdom of Kadolha was established when Radoslav II Vračarević declared himself king in 692. Radoslav II reigned as king for 9 years, but was killed during the Battle of Saradium. He was succeeded by Stefan I Vračarević who's campaign against the Eutrucian Empire in the Cozars led to a fast and rapid expansion of the kingdom. His campaign was considered a miracle by historians, where it's often believed that there was a godly power aiding him, he is also regarded to as one of the best military commanders in Kadolhan history.

Stefan I Vračarević's personal campaign was expanding the country further west into the mainland until they reached the Green Sea. Stefan I assigned his best commanders to lead the eastern, central and southern campaigns. Stevan Krljun's eastern campaign took the lands in west Lubilia and a part of south Lipnitia, while Vladimir Kaljić expanded the country south. Stefan I would also move the capital from Laškana to what is now modern-day Kradelas.

The Kingdom of Kadolha would reach its maximum extent in 722, where Stefan I Vračarević declared himself an emperor and established the Kadolhan Empire.

Kadolhan Empire
The Kadolhan Empire was established in 722 when Stefan I Vračarević declared himself emperor. Even though Stefan I's campaign was successful in expanding the kingdom, he did not stop until the Eutrucians were completely gone from west Kadolha. The first emperor would continue to reign for another 17 years until he died of old age in 739.

The Kadolhan Empire would conquer the land along the coast of the Kadolhan Sea in the 8th century, and expand further north into Lipnitia. The empire would remain ruled by the Vračarević dynasty until the last emperor, Velislav I Vračarević, died in 776 without a successor. The empire was struck with a dilemma, there was no successor and the Eastern Eutrucian Empire started rebuilding their legions. It was quickly decided that a noble from the Belosavljević dynasty would have to be chosen for the throne. Beloslav I Belosavljević was crowned emperor in the Temple of Perun outside of Kradelas. Emperor Beloslav I priortized building a large army in order to be able to face the Eutrucian legions, although his short reign met with a fatal illness did not manage to do as such in such a short period of time. In 782 successor, Beloslav II Belosavljević would continue his legacy and when the Eutrucians attacked in 789, he was able to repel the attack and push the Eutrucians back. With the destruction of the legions, Beloslav II led his armies south and conquered the northern bit of what is now modern-day Veršec. Beloslav IV Belosavljević was the first Kadolhan emperor to ever resign from his position, as his actions made him highly unlikeable among the populace.

The golden age of the Kadolhan Empire arrived in 966, when Nikola III Belosavljević was crowned emperor. He was often referred to as a reincarnation of Stefan Kraljević, patron hero of the Kadolhans and the Slayer of Eutrucians, because of the ruthless killings of Eutrucians at the time. His reign was the second longest out of all Kadolhan emperors, lasting for 61 years. For the duration of his reign he would conquer the rest of modern-day Kadolha, and lead a campaign that expanded the empire into Lipnitia, all of Lubilia and western Trakia. He is responsible for reforming the Kadolhan Native Faith, where was replaced by  as the chief god of the pantheon. A giant statue of Svetovid was erected in Lipnovo and Kradelas became the center of Svetovid worship with the construction of a large temple (later becomes the Temple of Perun). Nikola III believed that honoring the god of war above the god of thunder would bring victory in every battle. His reign ended with his death in 1027, also marking the end of the golden age.

The reign of the Belosavljević dynasty ended in 1070, after the highly unlikeable emperor Velibor II Belosavljević who intended on coverting the nation to was killed by Dragoljub I Vukašinović and his order of knights. Dragoljub I has not done much in regards of conquering land, but has brought stability and order to the Kadolhan Empire.

Under the rule of Vuk I Vukašinović, the Kadolhan Empire expanded past west Lipnitia and into Sataria. Vuk II led a successful campaign against a number of Satarian kingdoms, conquering the majority of Sataria and establishing a border with the Kingdom of Bloodia. The reign of Vuk I was the longest out of all, just a year ahead of Nikola III Belosavljević. Vuk II Vukašinović expanded the empire southeast and conquered half of Veršec. He was responsible for undoing Nikola III's religious reform, making the chief god of the pantheon again and converting the Temple of Svetovid in Kradelas to the Temple of Perun. Marija I Vukašinović was the first and only empress of the Kadolhan Empire. She was notorious for persecuting Issians in the 14th century, along with the introduction of brutal and inhumane torture methods.

The Kadolhan Empire eventually met its demise in 1503 after Dragoljub III Vukašinović's campaign in Cestros. The empire was dismantled into several independent states by decree of the emperor.

Dissolution of the Empire
In 1503, after Dragoljub III Vukašinović's campaign in Cestros and Vreteke came to a stalemate, the Kadolhan Empire was devastatingly hit by the consequences of the war. Despite managing to take half of Vreteke and the Cestrosian border regions, the cost of resources and manpower it took to conquer those lands had a major impact on the stability of the empire. Poverty, civil unrest and the possibility of a civil war forced Dragoljub III to issue a decree that dissolved the Kadolhan Empire into thirteen states, most of which were former fiefdoms. Dragoljub III resigned from the throne, and because he was sterile, without any successors, the Vukašinović dynasty also came to an end.

Conquered lands out of Kadolha either regained independence, became vassals or were conquered by major powers in Zemlya at the time. Such is the case with Sataria, which was instantly taken by the Kingdom of Bloodia after the Kadolhan Empire dissolved. Lubilia gained independence, the south Cozars were reconquered by Cestrosian states and Trakia retook the lands in its border region.

Out of the empire came thirteen newly established states, although the fourteenth state was established later on, the original thirteen states were the Republic of Kalalj, Republic of Jakovac, Grand Kingdom of Akažija, Republic of Medača, Republic of Talesija, Kingdom of Vešalija, Kingdom of Trižanija, Principality of Peljušin, Duchy of Aševska, Grand Duchy of Jarecija, Republic of Goskana, Kingdom of Levušna and the Duchy of Kavešija. The fourteenth state was the Principality of Kradelas, which was formed in 1508, though prior to that its territory was split between the Republic of Kalalj and the Duchy of Aševska.

Principality of Kradelas and reunification
After the Kadolhan Empire dissolved, control over the capital Kradelas was placed in question, whether it should remain split between the Republic of Kalalj and the Duchy of Aševska or be granted independence. It was commonly referred to as the Kradelas Question, and it was a five-year long debate between successor states. Eventually, in 1508, with the pressure of the Republic of Kalalj, the Principality of Kradelas was formed. Although, it did not go in favor with the other states' stances, Kradelas was given its original territory it held under the Kadolhan Empire.

The Principality of Kradelas was set to be ruled by Knez Dragomir I Radosavljević, a member of the Radosavljević dynasty. Dragomir I would start amassing an army in secrecy, at the same time as he opened up trade relations with other states. Shortly after the death of Dragomir I in 1544, Veljko I ordered the idea of a unified Kadolha to be propagated throughout Kradelas and in the Republic of Kalalj. Though Kadolhan unification was a controversial topic at the time, it was mostly confined to Kradelas and Kalalj, as all the other states viewed unification rather uneasy.

After the death of Veljko II Radosavljević in 1609, Veljko III Radosavljević was left with a gigantic army waiting for war, though he had postponed the declaration of war by seven years. In 1616 he asked the clergy in the Temple of Perun whether to go to war or not, the clergy would tie three rows of spears together with two spears facing downwards under an angle. They would then bring a white horse, and when the horse was about to jump starting off from its right leg, Veljko III notified Ivan Krljić, leader of the Republic of Kalalj at the time to prepare for war. Veljko III issued a formal declaration of war against twelve states on 2 July 1616 with reunification as casus belli. The Principality of Kradelas received diplomatic support from the Kingdom of Bloodia during the war, which in turn shaped Kadolhan-Bloodian relations for centuries to come. The war came to be known as the Reunification War.

Despite being largely outnumbered, the Principality of Kradelas and the Republic of Kalalj emerged victorious in the majority of battles fought. The Duchy of Aševska fell in 1624, Duchy of Kavešija in 1627, Grand Duchy of Jarecija in 1632, the Kingdom of Levušna formally surrendered in 1636 after a defeat in the Battle of Lajno Polje, Republic of Goskana in 1641, Grand Kingdom of Akažija in 1668, Principality of Peljušin in 1670, Republic of Medača in 1676, Kingdom of Vešalija in 1688 and the Kingdom of Tržanija in 1702. The Kingdom of Jakovac fell after a devastating defeat in the Battle of Galebica on 4 August 1711. On 26 July 1711, Vukašin I Radosavljević formally dissolved the Principality of Kradelas together with the Republic of Kalalj and formed the First Kadolhan Republic. The Reunification War still remains the longest war fought on Kadolhan soil and one of the longest wars in history.

First Kadolhan Republic
The First Kadolhan Republic was created with the conclusion of the Reunification War in 1711. It was the only country who's government was modeled after the Eutrucian Republic, bearing a similar, but modified system. Positions with similar roles and tasks to Eutrucian ones were created: Supreme Councilor, Judge , Monetary Tax Councilor , Temple Councilor , Treasury Councilor (, People's Councilor and Representative Councilor. Unlike the Eutrucian system, popular elections would take every six years and can serve two terms as the Supreme Councilor. Compared to the Kadolhan council, the Eutrucian senate was almost twice its size.

Throughout the existence of the First Republic, not a single war was fought, there were internal disputes, but overall its existence was mostly peaceful. In 1800, Radovan Grgić won the popular election, most likely through voter fraud and empty promises made to the people. His popularity started decreasing rapidly in 1801 and in 1802, in the early morning of January 6, Colonel Darko Brkić with ten soldiers staged a coup against Radovan Grgić, executing him on the spot after being sentenced on grounds of treason and fraud. Colonel Brkić declared a five-month long to stabilize the country, before transitioning to a  and declaring the Second Kadolhan Republic.

Second Kadolhan Republic
, also the current Civil flag of Kadolha]] The formation of the Second Kadolhan Republic is preceeded by the 1802 coup against Supreme Councilor Radovan Grgić, whose popularity started decreasing rapidly since the end of 1801. He was overthrown and executed by Colonel Darko Brkić, followed by a five-month long that was established in order to lay the foundation for a new republic. On 10 May 1802, Colonel Brkić allowed the country to transition to a and establish the Second Kadolhan Republic. Darko Brkić was technically the first acting President of the Second Kadolhan Republic, so he could oversee the new republic's first elections. The new presidential system allowed the president to essentially be the and  in a multi-party system, with legislative power vested in the president, government and National Assembly. The new constitution allowed the president to serve a six-year term, and can serve up to two terms.

Jovan Glibić was the first President of the Second Kadolhan Republic to be elected, although his one served term did not have any significance in Kadolhan history, he is also the founder of the Democratic Party of Kadolha. Kadolhan politics in the 19th century were considered a battleground between the mainstream parties, such as the aforementioned Democratic Party of Kadolha, the Kadolhan Radical Party and the Conservative Party of Kadolha. Although representatives of the Kadolhan Unitary Party and the Republican Party managed to grab some seats in the National Assembly. David Došlić was the only Republican president to serve a term, along with Velibor Stojanović, who was the only Unitarist.

Hours after the mysterious death of Ranko Đokić on 7 July 1882, who was serving his second term in a row, General Rastislav Prodić marched on the National Assembly Building, dismissing all members of cabinet and the National Assembly with the sentence "comply or be shot". All parties were to be disbanded, declared illegal and their leadership arrested. Though some parties continued to operate underground, they didn't go fully defunct until the early 1900s. Members of the Kadolhan Radical Party attempted to stage a coup in 1895, but failed having been prevented by the army, resulting in the execution of all party members involved. The Kadolhan Radical Party was formally disbanded by its remaining members months later. The only party that remained active underground was the Democratic Party of Kadolha.

On 15 March 1897, Kadolha declared war on the Kingdom of Lubilia, with the goal of ousting the royal family and annexing the country. Ever since the reunification of Kadolha, Lubilia was one of the two remaining Kadolhan-speaking country that wasn't part of Kadolha. Rastislav Prodić thought that the reunification still hadn't been completed, and that the Lubilian royal family was standing in the path of reunification. The Lubilians had no desire to fight Kadolhans, letting the army march into Lubilia with zero resistance. Lubilia was officially annexed by Kadolha on 16 March 1897, the royal family having exiled itself to Lyrinia. General Prodić also planned on invading the Kingdom of Lyrinia, but these plans were soon scrapped due to the rise in geopolitical tensions in the 1900s. The annexation of Lubilia and planned invasion of Lyrinia was often characterised as an attempt to form Greater Kadolha.

General Rastislav Prodić died on 18 May 1911, in the midst of the First Great War, leaving the country in the hands of Predrag Milutinović, selected as the successor to General Prodić by the State Military Council. Milutinović led the country until the end of the First Great War in 1920, legalizing parties and allowing free elections to be held, whilst successfully reverting the country back to a before stepping down on 31 August 1920, after the conclusion of the 1920 Kadolhan presidential election. Milutinović was pressured by public protests to abolish the, as an end result of the stalemate in the First Great War. Scholars consider this point a fatal, but a crucial turning point in Kadolhan history. Pavle Jondić, member of the Democratic Party of Kadolha, was elected the twelfth President of the Second Kadolhan Republic, the first president to be elected after the 38-year long military dictatorship. Jondić pushed for liberal reforms, as well as legalizing LGBT rights and brothels. The National Revivalist Party, headed by Dragan Obrenović, executed The Storming of Kradelas on 5 August 1924, seized control of the city with almost no resistance and stormed the National Assembly Building. Pavle Jondić was captured and executed in front of the public eye, whilst the then current National Assembly was dismissed. Dragan Obrenović declared the Third Kadolhan Republic and himself as its Vrhovni Vođa, marking the end of the Second Kadolhan Republic.

Politics and government
Kadolha is a Revivalist republic, with the government divided into a executive branch, legislative branch and judicial branch.

The government and politics of Kadolha function as a Revivalist republic, where a is enforced and the Vrhovni Vođa is both the head of state and head of government.

The Vrhovni Vođa is responsible for appointing members of the Council of Bureau Executives, including members of the National Assembly and the judicial branch.

The executive branch is composed of the Vrhovni Vođa and the Council of Bureau Executives. The head of the Council of Bureau Executives is the Supreme Councilor of Bureau Executives, and serves as the. Nemanja Božanović succeeded Radovan Kostić as the Vrhovni Vođa in 1987, and in 2005 appointed Jovana Todorović as the Supreme Councilor of Bureau Executives.

The legislative branch of the government forms the National Assembly. The National Assembly is a legislative body and it has a total of 518 members with a term of five years. 518 candidates are appointed by the Vrhovni Vođa, but before convening they will be subject to a national referendum, in which the majority of votes that are against the new assembly will be prompted to its dissolution, and a public election will be held by its geographic constituencies. Its members are employers confederations, employees confederations, liberal professions and public bodies.

The judicial branch of the government is the Supreme Court, which is the highest authority within the justice system, where judges are appointed by the Vrhovni Vođa himself. The Court of Criminal Appeal has the power of judicial review within the justice system, and the judges are also appointed by the Vrhovni Vođa.

The current party in power is the National Revivalist Party.

Foreign relations
Kadolha's foreign policy is conducted by the Bureau of Foreign Affairs and its head, the Bureau Executive of Foreign Affairs. The current bureau executive is Bojan Nemanjić. The main aims of the Bureau for Foreign Affairs are to represent Kadolha before other states; safeguarding the interests of the Kadolhan state and of its citizens abroad; the promotion of Kadolhan culture; and the fostering of closer relations with the Kadolhan diaspora.

Kadolha is allied with Lipnitia, Sauvrania and Lubilia in a military and economic alliance called the Collective Strategic Defense Organization (CSDO). Kadolha maintains relations with all countries in Slavia, having an embassy or consulate in each.

Law and criminal justice
Kadolha has a three-tiered judicial system, the system is overseen by the Bureau of Justice, specifically by the Bureau Executive of Justice. The current law system in use is the typical system. The judiciary system is made up of the following three courts:
 * Supreme Court of the State and the Highest Commission — The highest judiciary body in the state, also known as the "court of last resort". The Supreme Court is responsible for the trial of offenders who have attempted or have caused immense damaged to the state.
 * Court of Criminal Appeal — This court hears and reviews appeals from legal cases that have already been heard in a high or lower court.
 * High Court of Justice and Lower Court of Justice — The lower court may take in appeals, the decision of this court is often reviewed by the Court of Criminal Appeal. The High Court of Justice is the court which deals at first instance with the most serious and important civil and criminal cases.

The law is enforced by the Kadolhan National Police Force, which itself is subordinate to the Bureau of Internal Affairs. National security, intelligence and counterintelligence operations are handled by the State Security Bureau.

The judiciary system also holds two supreme war tribunals, they are tasked to trial and bring a final verdict to war criminals of both Kadolhan and foreign origin, which is done after a certain amount of evidence is gathered and when witnesses are brought in after a war that Kadolha took part in. Throughout Kadolha's military history, since the year the war tribunal was established in 1804, there have been only a few cases involving war criminals of Kadolhan origin, although there was a case of treachery involved, because it was commonly foreign soldiers and officers who were trialed, and very likely imprisoned or executed. The two war tribunals are the following:
 * Supreme War Tribunal of the First Class — Responsible for trialing and convicting foreign commissioned officers and non-commissioned officers who have committed serious offenses against the state.
 * Supreme War Tribunal of the Second Class — Responsible for trialing and convicting commissioned officers and non-commissioned officers of Kadolhan origin who have committed serious offenses against the enemy state and the Kadolhan state.

Military
The Kadolhan National Defence Forces are subordinate to the Bureau of National Defence and are composed of the Kadolhan National Land Forces; the Kadolhan National Air Force; and the Kadolhan National Naval Force. The current strength of the KNDF is 920,000 active personnel and 136,000 reserve personnel, the military budget is 4% of the country's. Ranked among one of the most powerful militaries in Slavia, the peak strength of the KNDF, formerly the Kadolhan Defensive Forces, was in the 1940s during the Second Great War.

The Commander-in-chief of the Kadolhan National Defence Forces is the Vrhovni Vođa, whilst the Bureau Executive of National Defence and the Head Chief of the General Staff are appointed by the Vrhovni Vođa.

Administrative divisions
Kadolha is consisted of twenty-nine voivodeships divided into župe, which are subdivided into opštine. The capital city Kradelas is located in the Capital Voivodeship, hence the name of the voivodeship. The Capital Voivodeship is the only self-governing voivodeship in the entire country, all other voivodeships have no powers of their own and are often centers of state authority.

Demographics
According to the 2015 census, the population of Kadolha is 93,890,907 and the overall population density stands at 113 inhabitants per square kilometer. The estimated total fertility rate is 3.02 children born/woman, the birth rate stands at 13, which is significantly higher than the birth rate of 10.5 in 1984. The enforced ban on contraception and abortion helped the total fertility and birth rate to increase, same goes for the 3-year maternity leave that has been reinstated in the past two decades, as well as boosting part-time jobs. The mortality rate is 3.80, while the infant mortality rate is 1.40 per 1,000 live births, which is a decrease from the 2.60 rate in 2000. The intentional homicide rate per year per 1,000 inhabitants is 1.55, it experienced a major decrease since the 1970s, as the intentional homicide rate in 1973 was 5.62.

A very significant motorway is the E-25 motorway, spanning from Ljotićgrad to Kradelas, taking the spot for the biggest motorway in the country.
