United States of Arsine

The Spirit of Man has awakened - herein lay the central meaning to our nation. We are all inhabitants of this world, grant us this simple knowledge. If our brothers are oppressed, then we are oppressed. If they hunger, we hunger. If their freedom is taken away, our freedom is not secure. Grant us this knowledge that all shall know bread and peace, justice and righteousness, freedom and security and an equal opportunity and an equal chance to do his best in life, not only in our own lands but throughout the world. And in that let us march towards a clean world in which our hands can make, together as one nation. Where all may live in freedom, reaping the just reward of their honest toil. We shall be that land of opportunity, a land where those who have lost all may one day start again. -President Ancap_ 
== Pre-History ==
=== First Aeternian Republic ===
Founded on 7/14/2021, the Aeternian Republic was formed at its core with a Senate, composed of the wealthy and influential people in the local region. It was during this time that a great revolt took place in the East of Arsine against Bjancia where multiple cities broke off - one of them being Aeterna. In it's long history it faced constant threats both internally and externally from multiple large squatter incursions, to internal insurrection and near-civil wars. The Republic slowly decayed within as internal factions split apart and the cities of the Republic split off, all while the Republics institutions faltered and became open to dictatorship. It was said that only an Aeternian could destory Aeternia, and so it happened. 
=== Foundation of the United States of Arsine. ===
Unification did not come easy, however former rivals and cities came together months after the dissolution of the first Republic, still nostalgic to the feeling. The Emperor had resigned his post and had restarted the Republic, bringing in with agreement the other towns which had become independent. New elections were held and the Republic was once again on the rise as the Senate worked together to solve the issues that plagued the old Republic. Not even two weeks into this rebirth however came an incursion from two foreign Rathnir nations which brought the new fledgling government to its knees. Beyond this many other events had occurred which caused the Senate & People to scuttle the nation rather than see it taken over, and move into friendly lands - founding the new nation. 
== Government & Politics ==
The United States of Arsine (U.S.A) is a Federal Presidential Constitutional Republic centered around the Constitution and headed by the President whos serves and head of state and head of government. There are three co-equal branches which are the Executive, the Judiciary, and the Legislature.

=== Legislative Branch ===
The legislature is composed of congress which has two separate houses being the House of Representatives and the Senate. Representatives are voted in by their constituents of their various states based on population while Senators are directly appointed by the state governors. They have the sole authority in making laws, declaring war, and have significant investigative and appointment authority. 
=== Judicial Branch ===
The judiciary is composed of the Supreme Court is responsible for cases and trials which are appealed to its level, and has the ability of constitutional oversight meaning it has the ability to strike down laws and proposed motions which it deems unconstitutional which prevents them from passing. 
=== Federal Service & Citizenship ===
Automatic citizenship is not guaranteed to all members and the population is divided between citizens and civilians. Everyone in the nation starts off as a civilians and after completing optional federal service they are granted citizenship. Only citizens may vote and run for government positions while both civilians and citizens are granted the same equal rights. This ensures that members of the government and voters are willing to put the nations well-being before their own. 
=== Political Parties ===
Politics is generally heavily divided between party lines based around different towns or members within the nation. 
In order of party creation:
* Federal Party: The parties main focus is centered around industrialization and profits from the market in order to ensure the continuation of the nation which includes focusing on a mass armaments industry. The party is pro-free market and is against any sort of workers unions and anything else that might impede profits. The party also heavily promotes federal unity. 
== Culture ==
The nation is multi-cultural and is influenced by a wide variety of traditions from around the region and of its various inhabitants. It is specifically heavily influenced by Aeternian culture which rejects any sort of monarchy or dictatorship and promotes power distribution between members of an elected government. 
Arsinian culture heavily emphasizes strong work ethics, individualism, liberty, equality under the law and especially the accumulation of money. The Federal government itself heavily promotes the idea of civic duty through federal service and helping the nation. Another important cultural aspect is the hyper-political nature of the nation in which there is constant internal politics.
