The Democratic Socialist Republic of Wosteaque, commonly known as Wosteaque or the Wosteaquean Union, or its nickname "the Five-Star Republic," and the "Republic of Republics" is a country located in the middle of the Olympic Ocean & Southern Ocean. It comprises five republics, Frésir, Boemont, Larton, Narkim, and Mariso, 166 districts, four autonomous regions, 16 independent cities, a federal district, 21 conservatory districts, and two federal conservatory and research territories. At 4,172,800 kilometers, it is the largest multi-island country in the IDU. The country's closest maritime borders are Christos to the north of Mariso, United New England to the east, Debeeland and Doatia to the southwest, and Salad Land and Yesteria to the southeast. The country has 499,793,302 people within its borders. The federal capital is Wostmage, and the most populous city is Zlento.

Wosteaque has a national spirit of self-reliance, which results from its isolationist policies. Although it is not unfamiliar for Wosteaque to have membership in international organizations, like the Consortium of Independent Nations or the Opthelian Commonwealth, Wosteaque usually takes a more neutral stance in these organizations. Wosteaque is a founding member of both the Southern Ocean Trade Agreement and the Wostmage Pact.

Etymology

The first known use of the name "Wosteaque" dates back to October 17, 1525, when it was created by Charlotte Beset to have a name not be based on a language or a culture. A year later the name was officially accepted to be the name of the nation.

History

Pre-colonial history (before 1390)

The Quecheucian Republic at it's height in 1722, overlaid with the modern district borders of Mariso

The first inhabitants of Wosteaque migrated from the southern part of Liberalia. They settled in the northern part of the island of Cheucia around 15,000 years ago. The second migration happened when inhabitants migrated to Frésir, Boemont, and Larton from Caxcana and Neria around 10,000 years ago. The third migration was when inhabitants from Frésir, Boemont, and Larton migrated to Narkim around 2,500 years ago.

Over time, native cultures grew progressively complex, with some, particularly the native nations in Mariso, rivaling the top powers at the time in terms of technology. Lañuakiru was the largest town in pre-colonial history in Wosteaque, with a population of approximately 200,000.

The most populous of the native nations, the Quecheucians had many technologies that other civilizations did not have at that time, such as early antibiotics from fungus grown on bread. The Quecheucians held approximately one-third of the island of Cheucia, for which the island is named. Quecheucia played a vital part in the further liberation of Mariso with the supply raids they, the Warmacha, and the Punkiri inflicted upon the European armies. These raids were crucial for the Republic of Mariso to achieve victory.

Early colonization (1390-1524)

Frésir and Boemont were the first parts of Wosteaque to be rediscovered and colonized by both the Costenan Empire and the Empire of Esilie around the late 1380s and the early 1390s. Both empires quickly set up forts around the coast and market posts to trade with the natives of the islands. Tensions began in 1411 between the two empires over territorial disputes. In 1413, both monarchies, being Sanctarian Catholic, went to Patriarch Paul V. Paul V decided to give half of Boemont & Frésir to Esilie and the other half to Costeno with the stipulation that both empires get to keep their current settlements.

In 1433, Francia began to heavily settle parts of both Boemont and Frésir. In 1442, the first colonial war began between Francia and the Costenan Empire over Boemont, in which Francia captured the western regions of Boemont. By the 1450s, Francia captured the rest of Boemont and some eastern parts of Frésir, eliminating Costenan control over the islands completely.

First Peasant Revolt (1463)

When the colonial war between the Costenan Empire and the Empire of Francia began, Francia levied more taxes to help pay for the war, particularly in Zlento. After the wars, the colonists expected these taxes to be lifted, but the King of Francia extended them also to help pay for the debt Francia had acquired. This extension and the forced relocation of colonists to settle northern lands resulted in the mass revolt of around ~2,000 people in the city of Zlento. Francia responded by sending garrison units; although this was initially successful, the garrison was grounded to a halt after reaching the city's inner part. After about seven months, Francian ships had arrived to reinforce and occupy the coastal regions of the city. On the 7th of September, the revolt would be suppressed.

Second Peasant Revolt (1502)

Zlento Rebellion (1515-1517)

Third Peasant Revolt (1525-1531)

The Storming of the Florette Citadel on 17 October 1529 was the final battle that happened in Zlento, solidifying Wosteaquean control over the city.

The Third Peasant Revolt was the final peasant revolt fought between the Esiliean Empire, the Empire of Francia, and the Republic of Wosteaque in Frésir. In the years preceding the war, Wosteaqueans had developed and fostered a proto-socialism-like ideology, asserting that a government's duty was for the people and that every human was born equal regardless of race, gender, and social class. This ideology help spead the ideas of freedom throughout Frésir. In 1520, multiple regions began withdrawing from their colonial duties, with hostilities towards colonial soldiers and administrators ramping up. Francia started to withdraw from some regions but still claimed them as part of its empire.

On September 2, 1525, tension began to tighten when a large riot began in Zlento. In order to stop the riot, Francia used lethal force against the rioters, with colonial guards firing arquebuses and even cannons upon the rioters, with approximately five hundred people being shot by the guards. This sparked larger riots in the city, with colonial officials withdrawing into the more secure part of the city. Multiple Francian forts were raided by the several different militias, and with the rioting getting worse. The Francians retreated back into more stable regions by boat, leaving Zlento entirely. The independent city of Zlento is regarded as the first part of Wosteaque to gain its independence.

On October 17, 1525, 5 colonies, Betrunee, Bravito, Queanale, Scopshire, and Vlindil, rebelled against the Francia colonizers. Provoked by the multiple massacres perpetrated by colonial guards and other regions declaring independence, multiple militias engaged Francia forts and ports. The initial success of the now semi-unified militias of Wosteaque was halted when more reinforcements arrived from Francia. The stalemate lasted for around two months until an army consisting of the Francia Royal Guard and Esiliean troops captured the town of Ilfracombe, the capture broke the already weak lines of the militia. The success of the colonial powers then snowballed until the battle of Clanin, where multiple conflicting orders and a rivalry between the two colonial armies resulted in a skirmish between the two armies. This skirmish allowed the militia to surround the remaining soldiers and push back the colonials.

After the battle of Clanin, Esilie stopped supporting the Francia, and on June 20, 1528, following several more losses, Francia signed a peace treaty with the newly formed republic granting it independence.

The siege of Alcide Castle which lasted 144 days until local peasants burned the stored grain supply forcing the castle to surrender.

Middle colonization (1525-1673)

Peasant War of Boemont (1549-1558)

With the end of the Third Peasant Revolt in Frésir and the subsequent independence of Frésir, A wave of independence movements swept over Boemont, the most important happening in the modern-day district of Beaufort. The Francia tried to hold its colonial possessions in Boemont by giving the rural areas autonomy. Vrodiff, the second largest city in Boemont, was made the new capital of the Francian Territories of Boemont & Frésir. This, however, did little to dissuade the rapidly growing independence movements in Boemont, and in 1549, Beaufort declared independence along with seven other colonies. The Republic of Wosteaque would join the war in 1554, and the war would end in 1558.

Late colonization (1674-1826)

Opium War (1702)

The war was started in 1702 when it was discovered that Opthelian ships were using Wosteaquean waters to export opium to Esiliean Western Neria. Wosteaque seized approximately twenty ships transporting opium, which resulted in Wosteaque banning the Empire of Opthelia from its waters. The Empire of Opthelia's response was to escort their trading ships with military ships, and on June 6, 1702, several Opthelian trading, and military ships entered Wosteaquean waters, at around noon the Wosteaquean navy tried to seize the opium, then escort, the Opthelian ships out of it's waters. The Opthelians, realizing that they were outnumbered, tried to flee but were met by more Wosteaquean ships. The Opthelian, following a no-seizure order, opened fire. When the battle was over, eleven Opthelian ships were sunk, many Wosteaquean ships were sunk, and trading ships were seized and scuttled. The Empire of Opthelia would stop transporting opium in Wosteaquean waters in the 1730s.  

United Socialist Districts of Wosteaque (1960-1985)

The Progressive Party Schism fallout led to a surge in popularity in several communist political parties, leading to a communist Executive Council, National Assembly, and National Senate. This coalition of communists focused on three major areas: the military, healthcare, and education.

Great War (1961-1967)

Wosteaque was an exception among the great powers during the Great War, opting to stay out of the war, except for a couple of brigades formed by communist militias set up to defend fellow democracies.

East Neria Crisis (1968-1974)

Following the collapse of the Second Esiliean Republic and the subsequent invasion of Esiliean Eastern Neria, specifically the newly formed republic of Teyè, by Esilie, Wosteaque would send military equipment and supplies to Teyè, as well as providing humanitarian aid. Following Operation Striking Tide by the Esilie navy, Wosteaque had positioned its navy off the coast of Neria, blockading Esiliean forces. Esiliean forces would attack the blockading force, initiating a war between the two countries. The war continued until the Lavender Revolution in Esilie and the establishment of the Third Esiliean Republic.

Geography

Wosteaque comprises 525 islands distributed in the Olympic Ocean and Southern Ocean. The five main islands of Wosteaque are Olun, Ipune, Esnen, Toclana and Cheucia. As of 2020, Wosteaque's territory is 2,592,858 km². Wosteaque is substantially prone to earthquakes, tsunami and volcanic eruptions because of its location along the various fault lines that run along the Olympic and Southern Ocean. Destructive earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcano eruptions occur several times each century.

Biodiversity

Wosteaque is one of the most biodiverse countries in the IDU. The National Biology Institute of Wosteaque classified it as a megadiverse country. Many species, such as the steppe bison or the Wosteaquean cheetah, are only found in Wosteaque. Wosteaque has 525 mammal species, 1,088 birds, 412 reptiles, 319 amphibians, and over 100,000 insect species.

Tropical Cyclones

As a multi-island nation in the middle of an ocean, Wosteaque is prone to tropical cyclones, hurricanes for Mariso, and typhoons for Narkim. However, they are different just in name. These large, rapidly rotating storm systems threaten coastal and low-lying regions in Wosteaque. Tropical cyclones cost Wosteaque around half a billion monos of damage each year.

Tornados

While tornados are as common in most areas of Wosteaque as in most other countries, the Republic of Boemont has the Southwest tornado alley, the largest tornado alley in Wosteaque. Other tornado alleys exist in Wosteaque, such as the Southeast tornado alley in Frésir or the Marais tornado alley in Boemont. These tornado alleys produce favorable conditions for tornados to form or, when conditions are just right, tornado outbreaks.  

Government and politics

Wosteaque is a federal semi-presidential constitutional republic and social democracy with three branches of government: legislative, executive, and judicial. It has a tricameral national legislature composed of the National Assembly, the House of Representatives, and the Senate; it consists of five republics, 165 districts, four autonomous regions, 16 independent cities, a federal district, 21 conservatory districts, and two federal conservatory and research territories. It is one of the oldest surviving federations. Sovereignty is shared between three levels: federal, republic, and district. Districts have their own local governments.

The Wosteaquean Constitution serves as the country's supreme legal document. Urgent changes require a 4/5 vote. Every 50 years, the constitution undergoes a process in which every amendment is voted on, and new ones are proposed.

Wosteaque has operated under progressive ideologies for most of its history, although it was briefly communist from 1960 to 1980, with some of the states retaining strong communist support.

Citizenship is granted at birth in all republics, districts, autonomous regions, independent cities, the Capitol District, and all Wosteaquean territories.

Federal government

The federal government comprises three branches, all of which are headquartered in Wostmage and regulated by a system of checks and balances defined by the Wosteaquean Constitution.

• Legislative: The tricameral National Convocation of Wosteaque, made up of the National Senate, National Representatives, and the National Assembly, makes federal law, declares war, approves treaties, has the power of the purse, and has the power of impeachment by which it can remove sitting members of the federal government.
• Executive: The Executive Council of Wosteaque are the commanders-in-chiefs of the Department of Offense. They can veto legislative bills before they become law (subject to convective override) and appoint the members of the Cabinet (subject to Senate approval) and other officers who administer and enforce federal laws and policies.
• Judicial: The Supreme Court and lower federal courts, whose judges are appointed by the president with Senate approval, interpret laws and overturn those they find unconstitutional.

The National Senate has 380 senators with two for every state, National Representative has 941 members with the members being spread disproportionately to more populated districts and independent cities. The National Assembly is the largest with 1 member per 25,000 people, they have 18836 members, with them rarely being called in at once, though events like the developmental constitution, and impeachment are an exception. The National Senate term length is 6 years, the National Representatives term length is 4 years, and the National Assembly term length is 10 years.

Each branch is inform by five advisory councils. The councils are the Economic Council, the Educational Council, the Cultural Council, the Social Council, and the Health Council.

Republic governments

Each republic has its own government, which can act as a separate country, especially in case of separation, which is a right any republic, district, or territory can use to exit the Wosteaquean Union. The republic government shares its rights with the federal government, with the latter having more say.

Each republic elects a president for a five-year term with a two-term limit. The president oversees the republic's part of the Department of Defense. The president is then part of the federal president council, which is the federal executive branch. The republics also have a judicial and legislative branch.

Political coalitions

Main article: List of political parties in Wosteaque

Political coalitions in Wosteaque are formed by smaller political parties with like-minded goals and opinions. There are nine major political coalitions, the largest of which is the Five Star Movement.

Autonomous Regions

Autonomous regions are formal political divisions that are given more say in the government after a referendum, with the latter having the right to separate itself from the republic it is in, although no autonomous region has done this.

Devenmond Federation

The Devenmond Federation is the largest autonomous region population-wise; it has a more conservative and less socialist government. It is also more religious than the rest of Wosteaque, with a majority believing in Sanctarian Catholicism and pilgrimages to the Sanctaria Church common among young and old people.

Free Land of Ostil

The Free Land of Ostil is an anarchist Autonomous Region in Central Boemont. The first town was established in 1986, and in 2007, the region separated from its district to become an Autonomous Region.

United Socialist States of Zlamas

The United Socialist States of Zlamas is located in Boemont. The Autonomous Region was separated from Nécy and Quentin in 1872.

Foreign relations

Wosteaque has an established structure of foreign relations. It is a member of the Consortium of Independent Nations, the League of IDU Nations, the Opthelian Commonwealth, the Southern Ocean Trade Agreement, and home to the Union for Progress of Universal Human Rights headquarters. Almost all countries have embassies, and many have consulates. Likewise, nearly all nations host formal diplomatic missions with Wosteaque.

Consortium of Independent Nations

Wosteaque joined the Consortium of Independent Nations about a week after it was formed, on August 18, 2023. As such, Wosteaque was not subjected to a vote by the body. Wosteaque was eligible for membership through Mariso, as the Papal States of Sanctaria had colonized land on the main island of Cheucia that was directly owned by the Patriarch.

Opthelian Commonwealth

Wosteaque joined the Opthelian Commonwealth in the 1960s and was eligible for membership through Mariso.

Military

Although pacifist, except in the most extreme cases, Wosteaque employs an extensive military focusing on territorial defense. The Wosteaquean Armed Forces is split into the Department of Offense and the Department of Defense, which share the Pentagon. Each side houses each republic's top military personnel.

The Department of Offense is the combined force of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Foundation Force, and Space Force, while the Department of Defense is the combined Republican Air Guards, Republican Land Guards, Republican Coast Guards, and Republican Rocket Guard, for each of the five republics.

Economy

Income

Wosteaque has a very high-income average of ᵐ3,023 due to most businesses being cooperative. While many progressive groups see capitalism as a burden or a decaying system, progressives in Wosteaque see it as a tool to help Wosteaquean citizens and humanity in general. Former president Christianne Océane stated, "Capitalism has long been used as a tool to further social progress in Wosteaque and to advance humanity as a whole."  

Energy

Zlento National Nuclear Generating Station on the coast of Lake Noir, Zlento.

Wosteaque receives most of its energy from nuclear power (82.8%), with renewable sources (15.9%) and natural gas (1.3%) making up the rest. Wosteaque is a leader in the development of nuclear energy, with more than 137 reactors across 83 nuclear powerplants, with one of the largest power plants in the IDU, the Zlento National Nuclear Generating Station, with the station having five reactors producing the majority of the electricity for Zlento. Wosteaque has also achieved net energy gain with nuclear fusion at the Wioleta Florentine National Laboratory. Besides nuclear power, Wosteaque is heavily invested in geothermal, hydropower, and solar energy.

Science, and technology

Wosteaque has been a leader in technological innovation since the 17th century and scientific research since the mid-20th century. By the early 20th century, most of the population used electricity, with early assembly-line factories being commonplace in the mid-19th century. Wosteaque has maintained a space program since the late 1950s, with three space stations, Equity, Fraternity, and Democracy, and 2,335 satellites launched from either of the five spaceports that Wosteaque has.

Transport

Wosteaque has 82,524 km (51,278 miles) of railway and 2,157,084 km (17,132 miles) of serviceable roadways. The Celeste Channel Tunnel, an underground railway and road connection, links Frésir and Boemont. The tunnel also connects the districts of Vierville and Waldthal. There are 2,325 airports, with Zlento International Airport being the country's most significant and busiest airport.

Demographics

Population

The Wosteaquean Census Bureau reported 499,793,302 residents as of 2020, making Wosteaque the third most populous nation in the world, after Sanctaria and before Doatia. Wosteaque has a diverse population, with over 50 ancestry groups with more than one million members.
