It consists of 5 republics, *34 districts, *12 independent cities, *10 conservatory districts, a federal district, and one federal research isle. At 1,611,127 miles it is the largest multi island country in the IDU. The country's closest maritime borders are Debeeland and Essena. The country has 255,000,000 people in it's borders.

The federal capital is Wostmage, and the most populous city is Zlento. Wosteaque poet Catherine Boutroux quoted "That Wosteaque can be described as a cultural melting pot that was turn to 2,500 C and created the perfect alloy".

Wosteaque retains it's almost half millennia position as a global center of art, science and philosophy. Wosteaque is a developed country with one of the world's largest economies.

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

Indigenous peoples and pre-colonial history

The first inhabitants of Wosteaque migrated from the eastern part of Catica. They settled in the northeastern part of the island of Cheucia. The second migration happened when inhabitants migrated to Toclana, from Liberalia, and Neria. The third migration was, when inhabitants from Toclana, Liberalia, Cheucia, Catica, Neria migrated to the republic's of Frésir, Boemont, and Larton.

Over time, native cultures grew progressively complex, with some, particularly the native nation's in Mariso, rivaled the top powers at the time in terms of technology. The city of lañuakiru was the largest town in pre-colonial history, with a population of approximately 200,000.

European settlements

Wosteaque was first settled by Swedish and Norwegian Vikings on the island of Vinnland in 1131. In 1222 the island of Cheucia was discovered by both Spanish and Portuguese sailors. Spain, and Portugal set up trading ports, being either bought or stolen from the native nations. After numerous coastal skirmishes, and countless loss of life, the countries then split agreed to split the island in half. The agreement was partially ruined by continued raids on Portuguese forts by Spanish back native rebels, the agreement was fully ruined by the arrival of the French, then later the British, Polish, and the Germans in 1313. The archipelago of Slohnourves was settled first by Portuguese, though these settlement were small in number, and size. The Spanish, and French came second with major settlements on the island of Olun. The Scramble for Slohnourves was then started when other European power started making settlements, and claims on Slohnourves. This resulted in many different parts being section off by different European powers, with many border wars between the different powers.

Revolutionary War

The Wosteaquean Revolutionary War was fought by Wosteaque, and the European colonials powers. The main European countries in the war were France, Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Minor European countries that fought were Portugal, Italy, Russia, Belgium, Netherlands, Sweden, and Lithuania. Wosteaqueans had developed, and fostered a proto-socialism like ideology, asserting that a governments duty was for the people, and that every human was born equal regardless of race, gender, and social class. In 1520 multiple regions began to "secede" from their respective colonizer, with hostilities towards European soldiers, and administrators ramping up. Several European powers began to withdraw from these regions, but still claimed them as part of their empires.

On September 2 1525, tension further began to tighten when a large riot began in the multinational city of Zlento, in order to stop the riot the European powers used lethal force against the rioters, with European guards firing arquebuses upon the rioters from the top of their improvised guard post, with approximately 30 people being shot by the guards. This sparked larger riots in the city with European officials withdrawling into more secure part of the city. When multiple European forts were raided by the People's Militia, and the rioting getting worse, the European's retreated back into more stable regions by boat. The intendent city of Zlento is regarded as the first part of Wosteaque to gain it's independence

On October 17 1525, 5 colonies rebelled against the various European colonizers. Provoked by the multiple massacre's perpetrated by European colonial army's, and other nations declaring independence, multiple militias engaged European forts and ports. The initial success of the, now unified, Militia of Wosteaque was halted when more reinforcements, and the creation of a Imperial colonial council of Slohnourves. The councils purpose was to crush the rebellion, and develop greater cooperation between the European powers in Wosteaque. The stalemate lasted for 3 months until a army consisting of French and German troops captured the town of Ilfracombe, the capture broke the already weak lines of the Militia. The success of the European snowballed until the battle of Clanin, where multiple conflicting orders, and a rivalry between the various European army's, coincided with a skirmish between the army. This skirmish allowed the Militia to surround the remaining soldiers, and push back the Europeans.

After the battle of Clanin, Three major powers, France, Germany, and Spain left the Imperial colonial council of Slohnourves, with the latter signing a peace treaty. Over the following months multiple minor nations signed separate peace treaties with Wosteaque. The weakening of the Imperial colonial council of Slohnourves helped Wosteaque gained the advantage, and in June 20 1528, France sign a peace treaty.

On July 4 1531 the Wosteaquean Army captured the city of Wispendu, with this the last of the European countries signed peace treaties, the one exception was the United Kingdom which kept blockading major cities until 1538 with the hope of delaying the development of Wosteaque.

First Inter-Independence

With the agreement signed by the United Kingdom on February 28 1538, Wosteaque started to farther develop its proto-socialism ideology, with many different communities, towns, and cities began to implement it into sociality. This vastly increased the quality, and quantity, of life in Wosteaque.

Wosteaque started to federalize it's independent districts, Wosteaque also set up a proper federal government, with the Capital planned to be built on the isles of Stelhal. This plan was however interrupted with multiple nations separating from European powers on the island of Ivord.

Liberation of Boemont

The second Wosteaquean Revolutionary War officially started on September 19 1555, when Wosteaque accepted the nation of Tarac request with help against their European colonizer. As a consequence several nations on Ipune made their request for Wosteaquean support. Following Wosteaque's entry into the war, numerus European powers withdrew from the war, leaving the colonials officials to their fate.

On Feb 10 1558, Five nations agreed to join Wosteaque, Wosteaque then made the decision to make two separate republics. The republics were made by using a system made to make separate republics located just in Olun. The new land would be called Boemont, and the old land Frésir.

Following the steady liberation of the Ipune, Wosteaque set fourth three paths for the now independent nations, Stay independent, become a autonomous region, or hold a referendum to become apart of Wosteaque. Most of the nation held the referendum, with only 1 failing to receive the amount of votes to join, and 3 autonomous regions being set up.

The liberation of Ipune was completed on August 14 1562, following the surrender of the last colonials units in Dunlina.

Second Inter-Independence

Wosteaque's new national goal was to tie the republic's of Frésir, and Boemont closer together, to do this they set up the Wosteaquean ideology of Pourlesgens, which was met with less success than in Frésir. A new system was then set up by Boemont and Frésir officials.

With the acceptance of more districts, Wosteaquean officials once again began to plan the capital of Wosteaque. Construction began in 1570 and ended in official ended in 1625, with the centennial of independence, although the capital was administrating the country as soon as 1580.

The Water War

A multitude of naval skirmishes between the Wosteaquean military ships, and several European navies, notably the French, and British Navy, in 1610. These skirmishes were the result of pirates paid by the European's to terrorize Wosteaquean traders and fishermen. After chasing the pirate ship The White Night, several British naval ships reinforced the pirate ship. The resulting battle saw two Wosteaquean ships lightly damage, with little to no damage to the British Ships. This cause Wosteaque to ban British, French, and Spanish ships from entering water close to Wosteaque, unless escorted by Wosteaquean military ships.

On November 14 1610, two first-rate ships of the French navy tried to pass the Guesnau Strait. Fortress Lacris spotted the ships with no escort, Admiral Diane Aoibheann, not wanting to cause another incident, sent only 2 ships to escort the French naval ships. The French interpreted the escort as a attack, and opened fire, the French navy sunk the two ships before exiting Guesnau Strait, but not before Fortress Lacris heavily damage one of the ships. The French sailed down to the most southern point of Boemont before intercepting a Wosteaquean coast guard patrol. Not knowing the French were hostile, the coast guard sent 1 ship to check on the heavy damage French ship. The French opened fire on the patrol, when the battle ended both French ships were sunk, with only light damage to the patrol.

The skirmishes ended after the Treaty of Denderten, which allowed Wosteaque to block of access to any of it's waters, to any foreign power.

Opium War

The war was started in 1702, when it was discovered that British ships were using Wosteaquean waters to export opium to Teyè. Wosteaque seized approximately 20 ships shipping opium, This resulted in Wosteaque banning the United Kingdom from it's waters. The United Kingdom's response was to escort their trading ships with military ships. On June 6, 1702 several British trading, and military ships entered Wosteaques waters, at around noon the Wosteaquean navy tried to seize then escort, the British ships out it's waters. The British realizing the they were out numbered, tried to escape, but was met by more Wosteaquean ships, the British following a no-seize order, opened fire. when the battle was over all of the British military ships were sunk and many Wosteaquean were sunk, The trading ships were seized, and scuttled.

Following the battle of Onde, the British Royal Marines invaded the Island of Vinnland, in retaliation. The Wosteaquean Army tried to support Vinnland, but the British blockade the island. The invasion lasted until 1705 when the blockade was broken, and the Army relieved the national guard. The British where then beat back until they had to retreat.

Relations between Wosteaque, and Teyè improved significantly after the war.

Government and politics

Wosteaque is a federal republic consisting five republics, *34 districts, *12 independent cities, *10 conservatory districts, a federal district, and one federal research isle. It is one of the oldest surviving federations. It is a federal semi-presidential constitutional republic, where sovereignty is shared between three levels, federal, republic and state. States have their own local governments

The Wosteaquean Constitution serves as the country's supreme legal document, with urgent changes having to have 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 a social democracy party for most of it's history, although it was briefly communist from 1960 to 1980, with some of the states retaining strong communist support. The social democracy party still remains the largest, and most successful party with nearly 80% of Wosteaqueans being a member. Other popular party's include the aforementioned communist party of Wosteaque, the syndicalist party of Wosteaque, and the Liberal party of Wosteaque.

Federal government

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

• Legislative: The bicameral Congress, 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 presidents are the commander-in-chief of the department of offence, can veto legislative bills before they become law (subject to congressional override), and appoints 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 (80) senators with two for every state, National Representatives has 500 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 are a exception. The National Senate term length is 6 years, the National Representatives term length is 4 years, while the National Assembly term length is 10 years.

Republic Government

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

Each republic elects a president for a 5 year term, with a two-term limit, and is in charge of the republics 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 has a judicial, and legislative branch.

Political divisions

The republics are then farther separated into districts or autonomous region, with the latter having the right to separate it's self with the republic it is in, although no autonomous region has done this. Districts are then divided farther into municipalities or municipalities equivalents.

Citizenship is granted at birth in all republics, states, the Capitol District, and all Wosteaquean territories.

Foreign relations

Wosteaque has an established structure of foreign relations. It is a permanent member of League of IDU Nations, and home to the Union for Progress of Universal Human Rights headquarters. Almost all countries have embassies and many have consulates in the country. Likewise, nearly all nations host formal diplomatic missions with Wosteaque.

Military

Although pacifist, except in the most extreme cases, Wosteaque employs a extensive military focusing on territorial defense. The department of offence, and the department of defense share the The Pentagon, with each side housing each republics top military personnel.

The department of offense is the combined force of the air force, army, and navy, while the department of defense is the air guard, national guard, and the costal guard.

While many socialist groups see capitalism as a burden or a decaying system, social democrats in Wosteaque see it as a tool to help Wosteaquean citizens, and humanity in general. Former president Christianne Océane has stated that "Capitalism has long been used as a tool to further social progress in Wosteaque, and to advance humanity as a whole".
