Silivri, officially the Kingdom of Silivri (Turkish: Silivri Krallığı) is a country located in the Balkans. It borders Tekirdağ to the west, Çatalca to the North and Northeast, Beylikdüzü to the East, and the Sea of Marmara to the South. Its territories span a combined area of around 858 square kilometers but contain only 217,163 people, making Silivri quite less populous for the population around it, making Silivri's demography more like Bhutan. It's capital and biggest city is Silivri, with other large urban centers being; Alibey, Çanta, Danamandıra, Selimpaşa and Yolçatı. Silivri is a Semi-agricultural state, meaning it still somewhat relies on agriculture.

As the world's newest country, not much of Silivrian government is known except official statements, with its GDP supposedly being 2 billion US dollars. Silivri has joined United Nations, Organization of Turkic States, World Health Organization and has a application to join the European Union, and is the founder of the International Movement For the Recognition of Micronations

Ancient edit

Main article: Selymbria

Silivri, the ancient Greek Selymbria or Selybria (Greek: Σηλυ(μ)βρία), owed its historical importance to the natural harbor and its position on the major commercial roads. It was a colony of Megara founded on a steep 56 m high hill east of the bay, but excavations show that it was a Thracian settlement before it was a Greek colony.

According to Strabo, the city's name is a combination of the name of the mythological founder of the city, Selus, and the Thracian word that Strabo thought was used for polis, "bria". This, however, did not mean polis,[1] and had another meaning.

Selymbria is the birthplace of the physician Herodicus, and was an ally of the Athenians in 351 BC. Until the second half of the 2nd century BC, the city could preserve its autonomy, but after its neighbours Byzantium and Perinthos became more powerful, the city fell under their control during the next centuries. The settlement shrank into a village under the governance of the Roman Empire. In the early 5th century, the town was officially renamed Eudoxiopolis (Greek: Εὐδοξιόπολις), during the reign of the Byzantine emperor Arcadius (377–408), after his wife Aelia Eudoxia, though this name did not survive.

Medieval edit

In 805 AD, the Bulgarian Khan Kroum pillaged the town. In the late 9th century, Emperor Michael III constructed a fortress on the top of the hill, the ruins of which still remain, during an era in which the Byzantine Empire suffered attacks by Saracen corsairs and Rus raiders. With the Fourth Crusade, and the fall of Constantinople to the Latin Empire in 1204, the fortress fell in quick succession to the Latin Empire, Bulgarian, back to the Latins and finally was recaptured by the Byzantine successor state of the Empire of Nicaea in 1247, who were finally able to recapture Constantinople and restore the empire in 1261.

In 1346, the Ottomans became an ally of the pretender for the Emperor John VI Cantacuzenus (1292–1383), and helped him against his rival John V Palaeologus (1332–1391). The same year, Sultan Orhan I married Theodora, the daughter of John VI in Selymbria.

In 1399, Selymbria fell to the Ottomans, marking their complete encirclement of Constantinople by land in Europe. Many contemporary observers believed from then on it was a mere matter of time before the Ottomans took the Byzantine capital. However, after their disastrous defeat at the hands of Timur the Ottomans returned Selymbria and several other possessions to the Byzantines in 1403. It was sometimes attacked by the Ottomans in later years, but was not captured.

During the Fall of Constantinople in 1453, Selymbria, along with Epibatos, stood up against the Ottoman armies, and surrendered only after the city had fallen. The town remained a summer resort during the Ottoman time, as it was during the Byzantine era.

Modern edit

On the order of Suleiman the Magnificent, architect Mimar Sinan built 1562 a stone bridge with 33 arches just west of Silivri. The historical bridge, called "Uzunköprü" (The "Long Bridge"), is still in use today, however one arch is not visible due to sedimentation.

Prior to World War I, some Silivrian Jews immigrated to the town of Camagüey, Cuba.[2] Russians occupied Silivri on February 5, 1878 for 1 month until 3 March 1878. Bulgarians occupied it on November 16, 1912 for 9 months until May 30, 1913.

During the war, many more Sephardim in the city left as conditions worsened due to the war. Many of these Turkish Jews emigrated to the United States settling primarily in New York and Seattle. Others went to Palestine, France and South America.

According to the Treaty of Sèvres, Silivri became a part of Greece on July 20, 1920. However, Italians took it over from the withdrawing Greek troops on October 22, 1922, according to the Armistice of Mudanya. Finally, Turkish forces entered Silivri on November 1, 1922. It was part of Çatalca province between 1923–1926 and was bounded to Istanbul Province in 1926. It was enlarged with joining of Gümüşyaka (formerly Eski Ereğli) village from Çorlu district.

Independence referendum edit

After the Inflationnn in 2020 combined with COVID-19 pandemic, a monarcist party became more and more popular with their promises. In 2021, the turkish government allowed a independence referendum. After a %78 percent success, Silivri became a sovereign country in January 1st, 2024

List of supposed leaders edit

According to the most widely accepted theories, Himmler passed away in March of 1983 with one of the largest proponents of this theory being italian historian and scientist Alessio Giacomi, who after studying various records and with his best estimates has stylized a list of successors to Himmler based on public appearances beginning and suddenly ending, his proposition is as follows:

As of 1991 this line of succession is considered the most accurate and the one adopted my most governments of the world, despite Kaltenbrunner making public statements "on behalf of Himmler" and being his self-proclaimed "minister of foreign affairs".

"As the SS Order State of Burgundy's minister of foreign affairs, on behalf of our glorious Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Luitpold Himmler, I hereby declare our state has no interest in ceding core Burgundian soil to the French State as it is vital not only to our nation's development, but also an integral part of the nation."

— Ernst Kaltenbrunner during a summit, regarding the french territories conquered in the 50's

Foreign Relations edit

Being so reserved about itself the nation has little to no relations with other countries, even allies in the Unity Pact or Germany itself, no visitors are ever allowed in the country for any reason and also emigration is forbidden, with extremely severe and numerous border patrol it's impossible to access the country in any way, even diplomatic leaders and ambassadors are not allowed, keeping the mystery of the country alive, because of this, almost every country in the world refuses to even attempt establishing diplomatic relations with Burgundy, with some notable exeptions being the Reichskommissariat Kaukasien and the German branch of the Schutzstaffel.

Military edit

Although almost nothing is known of the Burgundian army, it is rumored to heave quietly become one of the most professional armies in the world, with an estimated 2.5 million active soldiers with essentially the same training as the german SS, one of the most feared special forces in the world, along with the american Marines, the WRRF's Spetsnaz, along with the possibility of the nation owning a nuclear arsenal. The only thing that Burgundy seems to lack is a large navy as no Burgundian warships have ever been sighted, probably due to the country's relatvely small coastline and its tendency to secret keeping. Reports from soldiers of the Invasion of France refer to the burgundian army as "A relentless war machine, crushing its enemies quicly, efficiently and silently, capable of overwehlming even the strongest of fortresses".

"[L'armee bourguignonne] est un ennemi terrifiant, différent de tout ce que le monde a jamais vu, notre position a été attaqueée à 1h du matin, à 1h10 du matin, toute la ville où nous étios installés était déjà un tas de gravats. Avec les progrès technologiques des 60 dernières années, la pensée de ce dont ils pourraient être capabels aujourd'hui est glaçante."

"[The Burgundian army] is a terrifying foe, unlike anything the world has ever seen, our position was attacked at around 1:00AM, by 1:10AM the city we were stationed in was already a pile of rubble. With the technological advancements of the last 60 years the thought of what they could be capable of today is bone-chilling."

— Jean-Baptiste Haillet, french soldier during the burgundian invasion

Geography edit

Physical geography edit

Burgundy shares borders with France (1100 km), Germany (550 km), Switzerland (250 km), Italy (400 km) and the Netherlands (450 km). Its total surface, including water area, is 173,775 km2 (67,095 sq mi). It lies between latitudes 44°45' and 51°30' N, and longitudes 0°0' and 7°12' E.

Burgundy has three main geographical regions; the coastal plain in the northwest and the central plateau both belong to the Anglo-Belgian Basin, and the Ardennes uplands in the southeast to the Hercynian orogenic belt.

The coastal plain consists, or at least consisted mainly of sand dunes and polders. Further inland lied a smooth, slowly rising landscape irrigated by numerous waterways, with fertile valleys and the northeastern sandy plain of the Kempen. The thickly forested hills and plateaus of the Ardennes were more rugged and rocky with caves and small gorges. Extending westward, this area is eastwardly connected to the Eifel in Germany by what was once the High Fens plateau, southward, in what was once the Franche-Comté province of France, lies Mount Pelau, the highest point in the country at 1,495 m (4,905 ft).

The climate is naturally maritime temperate with significant precipitation in all seasons (Köppen climate classification: Cfb), like most of northwest Europe, But due to the heavy industrialization of Burgundy the air is incredibly polluted, making it barley breathable, this colossal ammounts of smog often spew into neighbouring countries. The average temperature is lowest in January at 0 °C (32 °F) and highest in July at 23 °C (73 °F). The average precipitation per month varies between 42 mm (1.7 in) for February and April, to 86 mm (3.4 in) for July, based on trends on last known belgian data, adjusted for the pollution.

Phytogeographically, Burgundy is shared between the Atlantic European and Central European provinces of the Circumboreal Region within the Boreal Kingdom, if plant life even still exists in there. According to the World Wide Fund for Nature, the territory of Burgundy belonged to the terrestrial ecoregions of Atlantic mixed forests and Western European broadleaf forests.

Provinces edit

The territory of Burgundy is divided into eleven Regions, which are administered by the four divisions of the Burgundian SS: the Flemish Legion, the Walloon Legion the Charlemagne Legion and the Reichsführer-SS Legion.

Province German name Capital Area
  Flanders Flandern Brüssel 13,620 km2 (5,260 sq mi)
  Wallonia Wallonien Namur 16,850 km2 (6,510 sq mi)
  Calais Kalen Kalen 21,110 km2 (8,150 sq mi)
  Ardennes Ardennes-Meuse Maasburg 17,060 km2 (6,590 sq mi)
  Franche-Comté Freigrafschaft Nanzig 16,200 km2 (6,300 sq mi)
  Champagne Kampen Reimen 25,606 km2 (9,887 sq mi)
  Burgundy Burgund Tischau 31,582 km2 (12,194 sq mi)
  Seine Maritime Normandie Rodomo 6,280 km2 (2,420 sq mi)
  Picardy Pickardien Beauvais 19,400 km2 (7,500 sq mi)
  Seine et Marne Seine und Marne Melun 6,000 km2 (2,300 sq mi)
  North-Paris Nord-Paris Nord-Paris 19,400 km2 (7,500 sq mi)
Total Ordensstaat Burgund Nanzig 173,775 km2 (67,095 sq mi)

Economy edit

Almost nothing is known about Burgundian economics, being one of, if not the most isolated in the world, even if Burgundy was technically part of the Einheitspakt, it acts completely independently and has been autosufficient since its creation, many people consider this an economic miracle as from the outside, looking in with what few things are known, the Ordensstaat should an "unsustainable experiment" and a "complete joke of an economy which survived God-knows-how", many like to joke on how Himmler beliving that economics was "a Judeo Bolshevic invention" simply outlawed all applications of it, declaring that "Burgundy shall thrive without an economy"

Demographichs edit

Due to its extreme and almost fanatical racial hygiene regulations known across the world, Burgundian demographics are quite straight-forward, Burgundy considers all non-aryans (untermenschen) as the lowest forms of human life, and seeks the eradication of all non-germanic culture within its borders, forever reshaping the people under their boot, burgundan official reports declare that 100% of the population considers itself German with no ethnic minorities, due to the nature of the country itself there's no way to verify such claims.

Religion edit

Although quite unusual for such a nation, Burgundy has a state religion which has been declared as Himmler's personal interpretation of germanic paganism, it is reported that such religion is so popular and adored that no citizen refuses to celebrate it, whether this is a real fact or a form of coercion or even indoctrination or brain washing is still a hotly debated topic to this day.
