Constitutional Republic of Libertas

A Liberal Republic in North Columbus

"Publis"

The **Constitutional Republic of Libertas**, or just simply **Libertas**, was once a micronation that is now an official nation on the planet Usonia. It borders the NCR Exiles.

## History

Libertas was originally a micronation that was located on the west coast of the United States of America with a population of 5. Now it has become a full nation with only two provinces that are called, "districts". When the second phase of the apocalypse came, the members that make up Libertas were kicked out and joined many fellow exiles that made their way towards Usonia with various other beings, including fan-made works and characters. As such, the five members asked many of their fellow exiles into joining to ensure safety in numbers and to rebuild the republic back up on this new world. Many agreed but others left because of the fear of being invaded by NCR Exiles. Or worse, one of the other two northern nations.

While Libertas was being constructed on the new world, two delegates of two separate unions asked if the nation would like to join either the Independence League or the United Confederacy of Exiles. The delegate of the I-League will grant Libertas protection and complete neutrality with the delegate of the UCE will grant not only protection but able to govern itself. Some of the citizens deliberate on where to take a stance with these two growing unions. Some want to join the I-League because they want complete neutrality yet some want to side with the UCE because of what they have. That was until President Publis came up for another option for the citizens to vote on, a third option. The option was to be a neutral factor between the two unions and accept neutrality, protection, and able to govern itself. The third option won the votes in a landslide.

As of now, the Constitutional Republic of Libertas is a neutral nation that wants to follow the model Switzerland has; being neutral.

## Government

Libertas is a constitutional representative republic that is also an interim government being led by a interim prime minister. It is a very liberal nation that is very accepting of the LGBTQ+ communities and legalize such marriages. Libertas wants to maintain a policy of absolute neutrality, modeling itself after Switzerland, in order to avoid conflict with other unions.

## Culture & Society

Libertas is a very liberal government with Jade City's majority population made up by members of the LGBTQ+ community. As a liberal nation, it has no state religion with freedom of religion. Although, the most prominent religion is currently Judaism with heavy atheist and pagan populations.

The flag of Libertas is a blue canton on a yellow field with the blue stripes running across. It currently has no set width/height ratio. There is no symbolism, with the intention being that all citizens can find their own for it and identify with it in some way.

## Economy

The economy is very diverse with a wide variety of opportunities. There are factories that make electronics, textiles, masonry, weapons, consumer goods, and various means of transportation such as trains and automobiles. And since it is a coastal nation, it has a great fishing industry with a large degree of shellfish, cephalopods and, of course, fish. They are also have a major industry in power production such as solar, wind, and even a few hydroelectric dams.

But the biggest form of industry is agriculture. There are plenty of orchards, grain farms, vegetable farms and lots of other types of farms with plenty of livestock.

## Military

The military of Libertas is more for self-defense that follows both models of Japan and Switzerland. There isn't exactly much in the military with only a handful of ships that protect the nation.
