Faltree

Jacob Vancapelle

**Faltree** was originally a micronation that is now a full nation upon the world of Usonia. However, it borders close to the conflict between Northern Rome, NCR Exiles and New Mormon fight each other over the wreckage of Archimedes II. As a result, their northern borders are extremely fortified.

## History

The modern Faltrian nation began after the Faltree-Eureka Provisional Government restructured into what is now Faltree. Many territories in Montana leftover from Union of Mountain States were dissolved due to the distance from inner Faltree. Shortly after the formation of Faltree, non-citizens were banned from entering the country due to concerns regarding COVID-19. On the 30th of March, 2020, the Fasces flag was adopted, the design being made by Jacob Vancapelle.

Following the decline of the United Ocean States, Faltree helped establish the Reorganized Ocean States with the help of Jaime P. III. This venture in reorganizing the region of Ocean States failed spectacularly, the nation being disbanded and subsequently being replaced by the independent government of Reunited Ocean States. Within this summer time frame, the post of the Interior Minister of Faltree was established, initially headed by Jacob Vancapelle, who at the time had been assisting with the situation regarding Ocean States. Relations between Faltree and Ocean States would continue to shift every few months, alternating between open cooperation and downright hostility. After the failed attempts at reorganization of nearby nations Faltrian foreign policy would shift outward, with Faltree becoming the Chairnation of the Micronational Assembly on 1 August 2020. This Chairship was marked by turmoil at the turn of the year, as Powell became apathetic about the position, which culminated in the deletion of the main Micronational Assembly server and resignation from Powell himself. Within this time, Jacob Vancapelle would also resign as the Interior Minister of Faltree, leaving the position vacant for 227 until the appointment of the next Interior Minister.

Yet upon the 5th of October of 2020, the apocalypse came and changed everything. Some people have joined Faltree in order to survive and have joined forces with Avatars from Family Guy Online, along with Avatars from Fallout 76 and Fallout 4, and a few aliens and mythical creatures of Native American lore. The people of this former micronation later reorganized as they tried to make a new form of government under Jacob Vancapelle. After two whole days, Jacob made a new form of government that is an anocratic state. A semi-democratic autocratic nation that is willing to unite to ensure the survival of all under one flag.

On October 27th though, things have change again. When the second phase of the apocalypse came and the United Nations & Creations were founded, along with the founding of the UNSA, the people of Faltree were booted out. Everyone was booted out by force by the New England Commonwealth, a nation state of the UNSA. Then taken to the moon to be shoved through a stargate and placed onto Usonia. It took a while to reorganize before making contact with the Independence League.

## Government

Faltree is currently a semi-democratic autocratic state with a strong executive government assisted by a legislative body known as the Faltrian Senate. The Commander of Faltree holds most authority in the country, but is legally nonpartisan and cannot halt the processes of the Senate. The Commander appoints the Interior Minister of Faltree, whom is the head of government and the legal successor if the Commander can no longer perform his duties. All ministries are handled and overseen by the Interior Minister, and the Interior Minister may create ministries and appoint ministries at any time without input from the Commander. The Interior Minister is given the right to be partisan, usually founding or joining a political party. All legislation and lawmaking is handled by the Senate, composed of 18 Senatorial seats to represent each Faltrian county. Every proposed piece of legislation in the Senate must gain a 61% majority vote before going up to the Interior Minister, who gives either an approving or disapproving vote of the proposition. If the proposition is approved by the Interior Minister, it shall go up to the Commander for approval. If the Commander approves the proposition, it shall go into effect immediately after approval. Any bill that does not reach a majority or is disapproved in any step of the lawmaking process, it may be rewritten and proposed once again. Elections for the Senate are de-jure held every 6 months in the months of June and December, however historically Senate elections have corresponded to demand within Faltree and discretion of the Commander. If a seat is unfilled anytime between these election periods the Commander will appoint a new senator to the unfilled seat or hold a quick election if there is enough interest in the vacant seat.

## Society & Culture

Faltrian culture has developed significantly since the establishment of Faltree in 2020, propagating a unique micronational culture. Faltree is a nation of primarily English speakers, but has been home to a small minority of Portuguese and Anglish speakers. Linguistics has been a place of study in Faltree historically, however efforts to create a Faltrian pidgin have been attempted and failed. Humor has been a staple in the State of Faltree, with the creation and spread of multiple phrases, images, and concepts. This culture of humor has spread some notable "Faltrian memes", which have spread to other parts of the micronational community. The official national sport of Faltree is Rugby, but Faltree hosts no official rugby team.

Music of and in Faltree varies a lot, the country's most nationally enjoyed genres are new wave, heavy metal, jazz, and rock. While a majority of the music in Faltree comes from outside of the country, there are a handful of pieces that are created by people who are considered to be Faltrians.

## Economy

Faltree has a small socialist economy organized into labor collectives, managed by the Ministry of Labor. Labor Collectives are created and organized by the Ministry of Labor, but cannot be dissolved by the Ministry. Labor collectives are intended to be autonomous in their self continuation, and all labor collectives hold autonomy over their own existence. All labor collectives function via majority vote, and collectives may elevate a spokesman to represent the entire group in the Ministry of Labor. The current Minister of Labor is Nicolas Caiazzo, a socialist appointed to the position due to his political beliefs and membership in the Faltrian Laborers' Front.

Agriculture is the main industry in Faltree as the nation can grow a large variety of crops and have a large selection of livestock. Over 20% of the country is dedicated to agriculture and cities even have their own hydroponic farms to keep up with the demand and trade. They even started cultivating Triticum vulgaris megasuavis, a high-sugar wheat that makes the fuel, CHOOH2 (more commonly known as "chew two"). Most of them are actually being farmed on a space base that is own by Faltree that is later delivered to the country.

Since CHOOH2 is an alternative fuel, Faltree later create new automobiles yet some of the cars have designs from the 1920's and 1930's. In other words, you can travel in style with a non-pollutant Rolls-Royce Phantom I Jonckheere Coupe...and it can even fly! There are even hybrids of these cars that can use electricity, be solar powered or even all three. Although, despite them being a standard in Faltree, they are worth a fortune outside the country. Some people even try to get in the country and get it at a cheaper price.

## Military

The **National Armed Forces of Faltree** are not exactly a centralized army. It is actually a composition of various militia groups that are working together to protect the nation. The Greater Forsyth Army is an independent militia that protects Forsyth. The State Organization for Military Operations is a state-sponsored militia that is as close as it can be to an official military force that not only act as a military force. It also acts as an espionage agency that keep tracks of other countries and the galaxy. They even keep track of things happening in other galaxies with their vast spy network. The Faltrian Frontier Guard is the main force responsible for the patrol and defense of the borders of the nation. They keep track of anything that is happening at the Archimedes II crash site and ensure that none of the three nations will try to invade Faltree.
