The **Myjohanian Union** (Myohanian: *Aonadh Myjohanian*; Scandinavian: *Myjohanianska Unionen*), officially the **Greater Union of Myohania and Johania** (Myohanian: *Aonadh nas Motha de Myohania agus Johania*; Scandinavian: *Storunionen mellan Myohania och Johania*) or simply **Myjohania** is a transcontinental socialist sovereign state, whose mainland is situated in western Eurasia, though it also has territories in Africa, East Asia and Northern New World. Its mainland, also known as the *contiguous land* stretches from the Sinai peninsula and the Levant in Western Asia, to covering the entirety of Anatolia, all coastal area of the Black Sea and the majority of Kasupikai Sea's coast. The mainland borders Hellas around Thrace and Athens in Southern Europe and Kinarael in Western Europe. Additionally, Myjohania borders 7th Heaven near the coast of the Kasupikai and on the Sinai peninsula. The latter of which, the Myjohanian Union disputes. Lastly, Westcoastistan borders the Pacific States and its capital, New Ninjago City.

It is the successor state to the second Johanian Republic and to the Myohanian People's Republic, as the Union is made up of two autonomous republics, the Myohanian Autonomous Republic and the Johanian Autonomous Republic. They control the majority of the union's land with the exception being the Balance Pact Territories and the Raukirland Protectorate. The country's federally controlled capital territory encompasses the capital cities of Odessa and St. John, in Eastern Europe.

The Myjohanian Union was established following the Menshev Compromise, which dictated that the federal government's exective powers be limited over the constituent republics and the guarantee of coexistence of two socialist systems in the same country. The Myjohanian Union's federal government is currently ruled by the Marxist-Myohanist Party with Myohani as the sitting president and Gallus as Secretary General; the supreme leader. The country is in a military coalition with Ninjago called the Balance Pact, wherein which the two nations have close military and political relations and work together to achieve their goals in the western and eastern parts of Eurasia, respectively. The Balance Pact ratified the creation of the International Province of Formosa, a region controlled by both Ninjago and the Johanian Autonomous Republic.

The country is a great power and is recognized as being the dominant political force in Europe and Western Asia. It is ranked as "very high" in the Human Development Index, with a free and universal healthcare system, and a free university education. Myjohania's economy is the world's third-largest by nominal GDP and the second-largest by PPP. It is a recognized end crystal bomb state, possessing the world's largest stockpile of end crystals; with the third-most powerful military, and the fourth-highest military expenditure. It is a permanent member of the League of Nations' upper council.

## Etymology

The Myjohanian Union's name is a combination between the demonyms Myohanian and Johanian, the former being the celtic ethnic group and the latter being the nationality of the former Johanian states. Within the country, the term "Greater Union" is used in order to refer to the whole country. Both Myohania and Johania derive their names from John the Great, who was the founder of the Thustian Empire. In the Thustian Empire various people groups in western Eurasia were unified under a common monarch. After the collapse of the empire's monarchy, the north-eastern people's of Thustia began calling themselves Johanians as a tribute to their late leader. In the western British Isles and the Caucasus, regions previously belonging to the empire, also began to call themselves after John. They adopted the name Myohanians. The "M" at the start was initially meant to stand for "Monarch" in order to distinguish themselves from the more republican-minded Johanians. After 500 years, the Myohanians had evolved into an ethnic group and the Johanians had remained a mere nationality.

## History

### Thustian Empire era

Following the collapse of the Thustian Empire's monarchy, the devoted followers of its late first emperor, John the Great, founded the *de facto* independent Grand Duchy of the League of Leggings, or the GD LoL for short. In the LoL, a common identity began to form in the residing tribes, all of whom were inspired by John's ideals of egalitarianism and multiculturalism. The LoL was peacefully dissolved following the death of its Grand Duke Immorto Vrat and the Republic of Johanian Tribes was created. The republic was the first recorded occurrence of the Johanian nationality being used officially in Eurasia. The western and eastern parts of the former Grand Duchy did not join the republic and founded the Monarchy of the Johanians in the British Isles and the Caucasus. Both of these regions were ruled by the centralized and elected monarch The Myohani (lit. *The Monarch of Johanians*). Throughout the years, the Monarchy Johanians were later called Myohanians in order to distingush themselves from the Republic of Johanian Tribes' citizens, as the two neighbors had evolved different cultures and customs from each other. In the Myohanian Monarchy, a system of selection was implemented in order the choose the next Myohani. Despite the cultural differences, the Myohanians and Johanians continued to cooperate in trade and other areas and had an informal alliance.

### Johanian Empire era

During the Johanian Empire, its Eastern Myohanian were granted autonomy by Gallus II due to the shared heritage of the Myohanians and ancient Johanians; the Myohano Kingdom was established. The kingdom functioned as a self-governing duchy of the empire, ruled by the current Myohani as its king. Myohani worked to establish a mountain mine in the caucasus, which was partly funded by the imperial diet. Though during the start of Shitcraft II, Imperial funding to regions such as the Myohano Kingdom were halted due to the economic concentration on the prosperous Spawn Region. This lead to dissatifaction to grow within the empire, particularly the Myohano Kingdom. The prominent socialist movement in eastern Myohania grew during this period as revolutionary ideas such as anti-monarchism were largely accepted. The imperial laws forbid "anti-Johanian" and "anti-royality" movements, though the Myohani made it *de facto* decriminalized as he himself was sympathetic to the movement and later joined it himself. Myohani became acquainted with Gallus III during this period as they met during a local conference. The both expressed their distain for the monarchy and vowed to topple it and create an equal and just society based upon socialism. Though their definitions of socialism slightly differed. After the successful coup, the two political leaders took part in the June 2020 election which made Gallus III, the second Johanian president and Myohani the first deputy president of the second Johanian Republic.

### Modern history

In modern times, the relations between Myohanians and Johanians have been close as the eastern Myohanians were granted autonomy within the Johanian Empire. Eastern Myohania was also the former empire's epicentre for socialist thought, as it played a huge role in the Vaushist uprising which toppled the emperor, resulting in the founding of the second Johanian Republic. In the republic, the Myohanian Autonomous Republic was established as the Myohanian pseudo-monarch, Myohani served as the country's Deputy President throughout 2020. In late 2020, the Myo-Johano relations were strained due to the October coup and the dissolution of the second Johanian Republic. However, relations later improved as Myohani assisted the Vaushist State in their struggle against the UN. This eventually resulted in the May 2021 Election, which granted the Myohanian Communist Party control over the newly formed Myjohanian Union. The Myjohanian Union is effectively the successor state of the second Johanian Republic and the Myohanian People's Republic.

## Geography

The Myjohanian Union's territories is somewhat spread out through out the world due to how the country was founded. In the beginning of Shitcraft V, the Greater Union's territories were previous states of the second Johanian Republic. This results in many classifing the Myjohanian Union as "Eurasian" since its mainland is on the borders between the two continents. The country's climate is diverse, ranging from temperate climate in Eastern Europe, to Tundra in Northern Europe and Humid sub-tropical in Western Asia. Also, extreme Tundra in Svartalheim as well as Mediterranean climate in Westcoastistan and Constantinople.

## Politics

*Main article: Politics of the Myjohanian Union*
*See also: Political parties in the Myjohanian Union*
The Myjohanian Union is a confederal Marxist-Myohanist socialist republic with a highly devolved central authority. Its constitution declares that the country is a confederal socialist republic, with two systems within the same state. The are large differences between the governments of the Johanian Autonomous Republic and the Myohanian Autonomous Republic, where the former operates on principles such as libertarian socialism and workers' councils, and the latter adhering the Marxism-Myohanism and its doctrines of the People's Dictator. This means that Myohani (The title of Myohani) is the autocratic leader of Myohania.

### Leader

*See also: Marxism-Myohanism*
The official leader of the Myjohanian Union is the Myohani, who is the ethno-religious and ideological leader of the state and traditionally the Myohanian people. However, following internal reformations within the Marxist-Myohanist Party, the current leader and chief of the federal government is vested into the Secretary General of the Marxist-Myohanist Party. This position is as of July 2021 held by Gallus Chickenman III.

Traditionally, the process of selecting a leader in Marxism-Myohanism is quite complicated as various traditions and rituals dictate who should be the next Myohani. The People's Dictator must relinquish their previous identity and take on the role as Myohani. In the Myjohanian Union, the person holding the position of Secretary General is the country's *de facto* leader, informally known as the supreme leader. Whilst the Presidential position is the *de jure* highest ranked. The current Myohani itself is not a political office or position, but it is rather recognized they are to hold both the position of President, Chairman of the Marxist-Myohanist Party, and according to some the Secretary General position too. The presence of the Myohanist traditions in the country has previously lead some to describe the government as being under a Myohanist elective theocracy.

### Democracy

*See also: Elections in Johania and Myohania*
The executive branch of the federal government of the Greater Union is ruled by the ruling party's Secretary General, and it has been described as a one-party, or dominant-party state. However, the federal government itself hold limited power over internal affairs. Elections are held for the executive branch of the federal government, however, they have been described as sham elections by independent observers as the voters can only vote for members of the Marxist-Myohanist Party. The legislative branch of the government, the Myjohanian Central Council's representatives are elected via universal suffrage in the two autonomous republics. Currently, all representatives from Myohania are members of the M-M Party, whilst Johania's representatives are from various political ideologies and parties. Thus, the Myjohanian Federal Government's legislature is democratically elected, whilst the executive branch is not.

Direct democracy, along with representative democracy is practiced in the Johanian Autonomous Republic in accordance with its libertarian socialist principles; allowing dissenting ideologies to also participate such as the *laissez faire* capitalist Right-Libertarians in Westcoastistan, and the neoconservative Taipei National Democrats and the neoliberal Juliengrad Party. Representatives in the Johanian People's Parliament elect representatives for the federal Myjohanian Central Council, where members vote on federal laws. Half of the Myjohanian Central Council's mandates are from Myohania, and the other half from Johania. Where currently all Myohanian representatives being members of the Marxist-Myohanist party.

Renowned historian and political researcher Gnome Chomske has described the Myjohanian Union as being an "odd mixture of democracy and authoritarianism". Chomske has claimed that the government of the Union should be described as merely socialist, though with "democracy and authoritarianism coexisting within the same entity".

## Government

### Myjohanian Central Council

Legislative power over the federal government is vested in the unicameral Myjohanian Central Council with 170 members. General elections are held every two years, on the second Sunday of May. Legislation may be initiated by the Government or by members of the Central Council. Members are elected on the basis of proportional representation to a two-year term. The internal workings of the Myjohanian Central Council are, in addition to the Instrument of Government, regulated by the Greater Union Act. The fundamental laws can be altered by the Central Council alone; only an absolute majority with two separate votes, separated by a general election in between, is required.

## Economics

Myjohania has a highly mixed economy. The economic systems of the autonomous republics differ significantly. In Myohania, a mixed economy is enacted as state-owned enterprises co-exist with private ones. Free trade and limited economic restrictions exists in the country's *Special Economic Zones*, including the Free City of Odessa, and the Maltese Falcon. Johania, on the other hand, has a market socialist economy, where private enterprises are rare as the economy is dominated by worker-cooperative companies. Though Johania often trades and has close economic ties to the rest of the Greater Union as well as to Ninjago, Nigeru, Lizard Kingdom, and Norrland.

The Myjohanian Union has enormous natural resources, particularly coal and natural diamonds. It has the world's third largest economy by nominal GDP and the second-largest by PPP. In 2022, the service sector contributed to 20% of the total GDP, the industrial sector 62%, and the large agricultural sector roughly 18%. Myjohania has a low unemployment rate of 4.3%.

### Currency

The People's Dollar is the official currency of the Myjohanian Union, and unofficially used in the partially recognised state of the People's Republic of Hellas and the two unrecognised republics of Svartalheim and the VaushAgoist Autonomous Municipalities. The People's Dollar is subdivided into 100 cents. As of April 2022, the People's Dollar is the second most traded currency in the world, and a free-floating currency.

During its inception, the Myjohanian Union's official currency was a crypto-currency introduced by Myohani, a staunch supporter of the technology and its usage. Myohani believed that the crypto-currency would revolutionize global trade and liberate the proletariat economically, as well as maximize profits in his Marijuana company. He laid out his beliefs in the 36th volume of the Myohani commentaries, where he envisioned a world free of centralized banks and stock and currency manipulation, which would in turn allow local Soviets or communities to self-manage their own economy without outside interference. Following Gallus' promotion to Secretary General, debates surrounding the instability and carbon emissions of crypto-currencies began in the Myjohanian Central Council. In January 2022, following an approved motion by the council, Gallus changed the country's currency to the traditional People's Dollar and banned crypto-currency throughout the Greater Union.
