Mezoraico, officially the Empire of the Middle Countries, or just the Middle Countries, is a member state of the Predicean Union. Situated at a geographic crossroads, it links the fertile lowland plains of East Craviter and the sea lanes of the Argent Sea and the Auburn Channel to the mountainous highlands of Central Craviter. Now bounded by six nations, it has waxed and waned over the centuries, buffeted by the forces of regional history.
In 43 AD, the Argent conquest of Terramezo began. In 863, Lech the Szlav liberated much of Mezoraico, made governor by Dominar Andronikas I, and when the Argent Imperium ended in 1137, the wiecze, an assembly of Borseanist, Zmeyist, and Zuist rulers, elected their own dominarz to lead the Middle Countries. The dominarz's were native, hereditary rulers until the Central Crusades conquered Mezoraico by 1291. The largest Crusader state, the Kingdom of Sankta Kruco, was established by the House of Mavoia. In 1482, Sankta Kruco united the Crusader states in Mezoraico. The mass expulsions of protestant Gotics and pagan Szlavs freed up land for Courantist colonization. Resettlement agreements were negotiated via territorial readjustments with the Duchy of Sillanais, Essalanea, and Khastenia. In 1797, the Empire entered a personal union under Predice. Its status was reduced to a protectorate. In the Wars of the Callisean Republic, Chevalier partitioned the western half of the Empire to the First Khastenian Republic and created two sister republics, Aleman and Tristain. After Callise fell to the Nordic Coalition in 1817, the Predicean government granted more powers to the General Veče and granted autonomy to Skalindowia and Tristain.
The unique blend of Gotic, Kylian, and Szlavic nations and peoples created a cosmopolitan society: Cxjusono, a Gotic-Kylian language, is the only recognized national language. Predicean is the sole language for legislation; and both languages are used along with Lechite for administrative affairs. National scientists, musicians, filmmakers, and writers came from Alemaners, Arrandalis, Calliseans, Essaleneans, and Lechites. Local governments incorporated ideals of the Callisean Republic, the Supreme Law of Goyanes, and the Santonian Revolution. In 1831, the Empire was granted representation in the Predicean Parliament.
In the 1930s the exploitation of oil and natural gas became the major industry, with Mezoraico emerging in the 1940s as one of the world’s leading petroleum exporters. Predice, Andrenne, and Maloria were the main benefactors of the oil concessions. During the Fascist War, Tristain and the southern border regions were directly occupied by the Dominion powers. Gniezno Mezoraico, a rump state, was an important base of operations for the Allies and the various resistance movements of occupied Craviterian neighbors. Predice gave independence to Mezoraico in 1949 to grant them membership in the Predicean Union.
The Imperial Preference System, reconstruction funds, and reparations helped restart the Mezocano economy. It was overseen by the ruling Popola Ligo, originally the local affiliate of Predice's Messianist Democracy. Political and economic reforms abolished the last feudal institutions and transformed Mezoraico into a liberal democracy. It became an important manufacturing center of the PU. The Ligo built a comprehensive welfare state, including a national insurance and inclusive unemployment benefits. The government retained wartime controls over the economy, such as resource allocation, employment, and critical industries, including the railways, public utilities, and much of heavy industry. The oil industry is jointly and privately owned by concerns based in Predice and Andrenne.
Mezoraico has a parliamentary system with its bicameral legislature comprising of the Chamber of Princes, representing the constituent monarchies and provinces, and the Central Legislative Council, elected by universal suffrage. It is a developed market and high-income economy. It has a very high standard of living and safety, and it offers free university education and universal healthcare to its youth.
