Federation of the Southern Stars

The Federation of the Southern Stars (Batu: Hai Mejećhe el ći Losue Beje), often referred to as the Southern Stars or FSS, is a federation in the south of Eldham. It is made up of the states of Nova Azcoria, Oceanum, Kumura, and Batu. The Federation elects its Premier and Federal Assembly every 6 weeks, with each state appointing two Representatives to the Assembly. 
Each member state retains full internal autonomy, while the federal government manages matters of foreign affairs, military, infrastructure, and national parks. The Federation takes its name from a much older extinct entity, Federation of Southern Stars. 
== Geography ==
The Federation is split up into four states and (currently) no territories. It spans three continents, Serrona, Onthukhan, and Leifmyrr. It hosts a variety of biomes from deserts to snowy mountains to swamps.
Its largest cities include Horizonte and Kythnos. Nova Azcoria's Cesaria province is divided by a mountain chain, the western side hosting a unique set of hot springs. Shakumagu, a province of Oceanum, is dominated by a large swamp, home to the province's capital Hagusaki. The majority of the rest of Oceanum is largely plains and forest, with mountains around Kormir and a desert and drylands in the north east in Danubia.

The Federation was founded on the ideals of friendship, unity, and strength in numbers.

A number of anti-federalist protestors headed by the infamous Gunk Funk attempted to blockade Horizonte's Capital Building. This commotion caused outrage among many citizens and a much larger group of counter-protestors broke down the barricades and violence ensued.
