About at same time several city states were formed at coast of Selentia, most importnant of them were Orothain, Oromor and Argdun. In 380 BC at north around Draskari, Kingdom of Selentia was formed, by 200 BC it controlled practically all modern day Northern-Selentia.Then came age of instability and by 57 BC Selentia’s south border was pushed back to Adain river.

Government and politics
Posts of Head of State, and Head of Government, are combined together under title “First Citizen”. First Citizen term is defined at 15 years, one person can serve as First Citizen unlimited number of terms. First Citizen effectively holds both executive and legislative powers as he assigns both ministers and members of Parliament(“Riigikogu”), also First Citizen chooses members of Supreme Court. Supreme War Council can vote First Citizen out of office if 5 members of council agree with it.
Votes of citizens with higher education or military rank have a lot more weight in elections of first Citizen. Some examples:
Lieutenant = 1 point, Bachelor's degree = 1 point, Captain = 5 points, Master's degree = 5 points, Major = 50 points, Doctorate = 50 points, Head of Olmedrecan Academy of Sciences = 1000 points, General = 1000 points
Importnant note: university degree points brought in example are only about natural sciences and mathematics, statistics and computer science. Social sciences and humanities have 5 times less voting weight and voting right starts from Master's degree(with 1 point).
Military holds extremely strong influence in Olmedrecan politics. In government there are usually many high officers, also majority of First Citizens have been officers.
Strongest opposition organization is Olmderecan Democratic Union(ODU) which main goal is equal voting rights for all citizens. ODU tries to achieve its goals through peaceful methods and its only opposition organization which has widespread influence.
Communist and anarchist organizations are outlawed as they are considered dangerous to the State of Olmedreca.
