Fortlese Union

The Union of Fortlese Soviet States (UFSS) (Spanish: Unión de Estados Soviéticos Fortleses, UESF), often shortened to the Fortlese Union (Spanish: Unión Fortlese), the Soviet Union (Spanish: Unión Soviética), however usually called just Fortland, was a communist republic located in southern Tapanthia. It is a one-party state governed by the Fortnite Party, with St. Henderson as it's capital in it's largest state, the Henderson FSS. It borders Jonathia to the north, Lyvena to the west, and is surrounded by the Channel from the south and east.
The Fortlese Union had its roots in the Fortlese Civil War, when the Fortlese Nationalists, headed by Levi Kopfman, overthrew the Fortlese Republic that had earlier replaced the borough councils of southwest Missouri, Jonathia. By 1952, the Fortlese Republic collapsed, and the UFSS was formed. The New Economic Policy (NEP), which was introduced by Kopfmann in 1954, led to a partial return of a free market and private property; this resulted in a period of economic recovery. After the 2022 Fortlese riots, the Fortlese Union government, led by Jayden Albert, was forced to evacuate. The Second Fortlese Republic was declared while the title of head of state remained vacant. Jayden Albert continued to claim the title of head of state, though this was disputed by the international community, who instead supported the new republic.
According to article 1 of the constitution of Fortland, the country is an "independent socialist State". Fortland holds elections, though they have been described by independent observers as sham elections. The Fortnite Party, led by an internally selected leader, holds absolute power in the state. The means of production are owned by the state through state-run enterprises and collectivized farms. Most services—such as healthcare, education, housing and food production—are subsidized or state-funded.
Fortland followed a military-first policy, and also had a large number of military and paramilitary personnel, with a total of 1,795,266 active, reserve and paramilitary personnel, or approximately 15.73% of its population, at it's dissolution
