## Lore

### Medieval Blueland

During this era, the area of modern day Blueland was divided among tribes, and later seperate Bluelandic kingdoms. The Kingdom of Vortesia was created in 933 by the Vortesian chief Mashan. They were created during a period of constant war between neighboring tribes. The country remained this way until 1001, where Mashan's son, Sayel, was declared king. Sayel, a firm believer in peace, tried to make sure that the warring tribes would settle peacefully. During his reign, she convinced the 3 other neighboring tribes to join the kingdom.

After her death in 1003, his son ascended to the throne as Sayel II. He was a great ruler, and his influence expanded throughout the 11th century. The kingdom reached its peak during his reign, and its size rapidly expanded throughout it. The economy was booming, and the country was prosperous.

In 1097, the kingdom fell into a conflict with the neighboring Tochenians. After the defeat of the Tochenians, the leaders of the Tochenian forces were imprisoned for life, and the kingdom fell into a state of unrest. The two nations were able to make peace in 1099, and the peace lasted for 36 years.

The war began again in 1133, and the kingdom was attacked. The Vortesian forces were able to repel the attack, and in 1135 the Tochenians were forced to retreat. Eventually in 1142, the two sides agreed to a treaty that formally ended the war between them, and established a border between Vortesia and the new Kingdom of Tochenio.

During the reign of Ayanguta II in 1352, Vortesia established relations with the nearby Leedonian Empire. A trade treaty was signed that formally established trade with the Leedonian Empire. Relations with Leedonia continued to strengthen during her reign.

### Early modern era

During the beginning of the modern era, Vortesia was suffering from corruption, nepotism, and authoritarian rule under King Ngomune. This eventually resulted in calls for democratization. Ultimately, Korunde Makan Abeşba of the Vortesian House of Abeşba decided to declare himself king. Following a year-long civil war which ended on June 16th 1428, King Ngomune was forced to abdicate. The new king, Korunde I of the House of Abeşba, agreed to give up much of his power, creating a new democratic kingdom and the Vortesian Parliament. The members of the parliament wanted to create a more democratic kingdom that was stable. The goal was to make sure that the government did not become corrupt and flawed like it once was. The new constitutional monarchy, led by Prime Minister Mongumo Açanoma, started by creating a new constitution, a new bicameral legislature, and a stronger military. The new government was supported by the people, and the people began to rally behind them.

The new government was able to create a stable and stable economy, and it began to prosper. Vortesia was one of the first nations in the world to have a democratic form of government, with a parliament and judiciary system. Following this, other Bluelandic kingdoms began to follow suit in democratizing. In 1433, Vortesia began to trade with the neighboring kingdom of Elisia. Trade was able to continue to flourish, and relations with Elisia continued to grow. In 1439, Vortesia signed a treaty with the neighboring kingdom of Simbia, which created a trade agreement between the two nations.

In 1443, the kingdom of Uparo was invaded by the Bilurian Empire, who wished to expand their empire into Blueland. The Bilurian Empire had a long history of expansion, and had built up a strong military. The Bilurian Empire had also hired mercenaries to help them invade. Uparo was able to repel the attack, but the Bilurian Empire was able to make a treaty with the neighboring kingdom of Elisia in 1444. The treaty was the first step in the Bilurian Empire's plan to conquer the entire Gyrothalassan continent. The Bilurian Empire's plan was to eventually expand into Blueland, and to eventually conquer Elisia. Seeing this, Yukana and Omarali declared war on both sides. The war dragged on for a few years, and the two sides fought multiple battles.

In 1550, the Bilurian Empire sent an army into Uparo a second time. They quickly took over the capital, and a war began between the Bluelandic coalition (comprising of Uparo, Yukana, and Omarali) and both Biluria and Elisia. Blueland was eventually able to defeat the Bilurian Empire, but it was a bloody war. In 1556, Omarali signed a treaty with the neighboring kingdom of Elisia, which ended the war on that front. The continent was again at peace.

Vortesia continued to prosper, and it became a major power in the continent. Vortesia was able to expand their influence to the east, and began friendly relations with the new Tochenian Republic.

In the year 1690, Elisia declared war on Biluria, hoping to retake lost territory. In hopes to increase influence, Omarali joined as an ally of Elisia. The countries were able to push Biluria out of the region, and both Omarali and Elisia became allies.

The war still continued for many years. During this time, Vortesia and Uparo were able to expand its influence to the west, and it became an ally of the nation of Leedonia. Vortesia also later declared war against Biluria. With the combined powers, Biluria was completely pushed out of the continent, with the three powers reigning victorious. As an act of goodwill, Leedonia ceeded Javada to Vortesia, which Vortesian and Paro troops were occupying following the war. Vortesia then allowed Uparo to annex the territory instead. As a result, relations between Vortesia and Uparo began to strengthen.

Around 1694, Tochenio conquered Analoa, incorporating it into the republic. They also managed to take over islands in modern day Suertola.

### Modern era and War of Unification

During the middle of the 18th century, the kingdoms began to grow in power, and the economy was strong. Eventually in 1768, the Bluelandic kingdoms began to industrialize. This was a slow process, and it took many years. In Vortesia, the kingdom was able to take advantage of the Industrial Revolution, and it became one of the most powerful nations on the continent. It was able to become a regional power, and it was able to make a lot of economic gains. The government also invested in education, and the population began to grow rapidly.

Under the new House of Konotaba, Vortesia's economy began to boom, and it was able to grow its military. Vortesia was able to build up a strong military, and enforced its dominance over the continent. It was able to increase the size of its navy, and eventually it was able to become one of the leading nations in the world. Many of the major cities began to rapidly urbanize as well.

By the 1880s, Vortesia had one of the largest militaries in the continent, followed by Omarali. During this time, movements to unify the continent were strong. Vortesia began its expansion southward in 1881, when it merged with Yukana. Meanwhile, Omarali began to expand north when it conquered the smaller Ota Kingdom, in 1884. It also pushed eastward to take over a small region of Bodeka, however they eventually reached a stalemate and later signed a peace treaty. The smaller kingdom of Obrassa united with Tochenio in 1885. Uparo also tried to invade Vortesia in late 1885, but was later pushed back and eventually conquered by Vortesia in early 1886. At this point, there were only three states left in the continent: Vortesia, Omarali, and Tochenio. In 1887 Tochenio united with Vortesia in an effort to help reunify the continent under Vortesia. On February 25th 1888, the Kingdom of Blueland was proclaimed in Cushkalla, with the Vortesian King Ashanga becoming King of Blueland. In 1889, Blueland began its push southward into Omarali. Omarali managed to hold out for several months before slowly being pushed back south. By late 1890, the Bluelandic forces pushed their way south, putting the Omarali capital of Goshonya under siege. Omarali forces finally surrendered on April 7th, 1891, with the Kingdom of Blueland taking over the remainder of the kingdom. By mid-1891, the Bluelandic continent was united under the Vortesian crown.

### Civil war

At the turn of the 20th century, the government in Cushkalla began to centralize its control over the nation to create a unified kingdom. They promoted a standardized Bluelandic language, based on Vortesian, which was taught in schools. They also attempted to cultivate a Bluelandic national identity. However, the many peoples of Blueland saw this as a way to remove their culture. They felt that the new kingdom they became part of was just a greater Vortesian empire, and they were being subjugated by the Vortesians in the north. A Marali army general by the name of General Yozofo Yusyõ sent a message to the government, advocating for a federalized government. If his demands were rejected, he would declare war against the north. Unsurprisingly, his demands were ignored, and so began the Bluelandic Civil War in 1903.

Federalist troops began marching north, and engaged with centralist troops at the Battle of Vadakadoji. This battle ended in a federalist victory, which continued north. By late 1903, the federalists have already captured all of Omarali, and some of Ota and southern Uparo, also crossing into southeast Javada. The country was practically split in half between the northern Centralists and the southern Federalists.

The standstill lasted for a month, with minimal gains between both sides. However, in March 1904, Centralist forces began a campaign to retake Uparo through the sparsely defended Javada. The offensive began on March 5th, 1904, pushing deep into Javada, eventually taking its main city of Mundalily in the span of two weeks. The plan was to sneak behind the mountains and take the Federalists by surprise. On March 21st, the second phase began. Centralists pushed through the mountains and took some of the Federalist forces by surprise. However, the Federalists then began a counteroffensive in Yukana, hoping to cut off the Federalists and sever their supply lines. As the Centralists pushed forward, the Federalists pushed back further. The Yukana counteroffensive eventually proved successful, cutting off the troops in Javada, and soon forcing them to flee the region.

Meanwhile, the Centralist movement up north was becoming unpopular, Protests had already sprung up in Cushkalla. As the Centralist government began to continue its campaign, the citizens began to support the faction less and less. Centralist soldiers eventually began to defect to the Federalist side, further shrinking the Centralists and their influence.

Seeing this, the Federalists began to make another push up north in February of 1905, eventually taking the whole of Yukana. Eventually, they made their way to Cushkalla, besieging the city for about a week. Knowing that the Centralists stood no chance of fighting further, Yusyõ sent more of his troops to besiege Cushkalla. Eventually the Centralists surrendered.

An agreement was made between the two factions on May 17th, 1905. The agreement gave autonomy to each former state in the region, effectively transforming the country into a federation. The king was allowed to keep his role as head of state, and the parliament kept the power to make country-wide laws, however the regions now had the ability to make their own laws, speak their own languages, and keep their own cultures. Yozofo Yusyõ was also instated as Prime Minister.

### Dictatorship and War of Alliances

While the initial post-war years saw a degree of stability, Blueland remained a nation comprised of numerous related but culturally distinct ethnic groups. This diversity continued to create tensions within the government, particularly in the parliamentary system that was established. The various factions and parties represented in the parliament often struggled to find common ground, leading to political gridlock and instability. By the 1910s, the new decentralized government was beginning to fall apart. Blueland's parliament was increasingly characterized by infighting and political factionalization, with little progress being made on important issues. The failure to form a stable government exacerbated the situation, as the constant reshuffling of administrations made it difficult to address the nation's pressing problems. Amid this tumultuous political landscape, King Ajabi II grew increasingly concerned about the future of the monarchy. He saw the threat of its dissolution looming on the horizon if the political unrest continued unchecked. In a desperate bid to maintain his throne, the king turned to Hadin Zunijan, a charismatic and far-right monarchist leader, who had been gaining popularity among conservative factions within the parliament.

King Ajabi II recognized the need for a decisive leader who could bridge the divides and prevent the monarchy's downfall. He saw potential in Zunijan's ability to rally support for the monarchy among various factions. In a bold move, he appointed Zunijan to the position of Minister of Interior, giving him considerable authority within the government. This appointment came about as a result of a compromise between King Ajabi II and various parliamentary factions. The monarch, aware of the growing support for Zunijan and the threat posed by other radical factions, saw him as a means to maintain some control over the government while placating the conservative elements of the population.

As Minister of Interior, Zunijan quickly proved himself to be a skilled strategist and a shrewd political operator. He worked tirelessly to build alliances with key figures in parliament, both through persuasion and coercion. His uncompromising stance on Bluelandic nationalism and the centralization of power under the monarchy attracted a growing following, and he formed a political party known as the "Unity Alliance."

In the subsequent parliamentary elections of 1915, Zunijan's Unity Alliance gained a significant number of seats. Although they did not secure an outright majority, they held enough sway to become a crucial part of any coalition government. The political landscape had shifted dramatically, and Zunijan was in a prime position to negotiate for the role of prime minister. Initially, King Ajabi II hesitated to grant the position to Zunijan, given his radical views and far-right nationalist agenda. However, the growing unrest and instability within the nation left the king with few alternatives. He recognized that Zunijan's influence was growing and feared the collapse of the monarchy if he continued to resist. He reluctantly appointed Zunijan as prime minister that year, who later titled himself as *Ejar*, Vortesian for chieftain.

Zunijan, now wielding considerable power within the government, began implementing policies that favored his far-right nationalist agenda. He championed the interests of the dominant ethnic group while suppressing the aspirations of minority communities. This created further divisions in Blueland, with tensions escalating between different ethnic groups, specifically in the Omarali region. The situation took a darker turn when an assassination attempt by Marali nationalists targeted Omarali parliament speaker Lilini Shuzlimize. This incident, which took place in a region with a history of ethnic tensions, triggered violent clashes and unrest. Zunijan, citing the need to restore order, was forced to declare martial law over the country in 1916 and deploy military forces to quell the violence. This period of martial law, though, would allow Zunijan to seize absolute power. He took total control of government, the military, and became a strongman.

He had a goal to expand Bluelandic influence and create an empire, which he started by proclaiming the Bluelandic Empire in 1916. This period saw the expansion of Blueland across the world, seizing the Kirkland Islands and Suertola after fighting Biluria. The period was also marked by political repression, widespread human rights abuses, and a growing cult of personality centered around Zunijan himself. His regime promoted Bluelandic nationalism and unity, helping to promote traditional Bluelandic values and traditions in the midst of encroaching Western influence.

During the 1930s, many nations around the world began to fall to dictatorships, Englancia, under King Lucio V, fell under the rule of the far-right Egidio Ansaldi. Naroslavia fell to Taras Kozlov and Biluria had their monarchy overthrown and replaced with the nationalist military strongman Mauricio Alfonso. Despite being under a far-right military dictatorship, Blueland did not ally with the new nations, instead choosing to ally with Leedonia and their neighbor Cortana. In 1943, all of these nations declared war on Leedonia and its neighboring countries. This occurred from a desire between the countries to expand their influence and unite their people. The countries convinced their people that Leedonia was an evil empire that mistreated the Englancian and Naroslav peoples living there, and that the people of Leedonia needed to be punished, and formed a triple alliance against Leedonia. Geministan later joined the Triple Alliance in order to gain Leedonian territory and to prevent Leedonia from expanding west. Seeing this, Blueland joined the United Front with their allies Leedonia, Cortana, and Elisia. Together, they fought the Triple Alliance. The Bluelandic military performed very well, fighting and occupying territories in the far west as they fought against Geministan.

However, during this era, government spending went towards the war, halting industrial development. This resulted in the economy remaining stagnant, and the nation's unemployment rate increased. In 1951, the Triple Alliance was defeated, and a peace treaty was signed between them and the victorious powers. Blueland seized the port of Hazelport near Yellow, took Dimontistan as a protectorate, as well as some more islands in the west and near Englancia.

### Republic, Bodekan war, and economic boom

Following the end of the War of Alliances, a wave of protests and demonstrations led to the downfall of Zunijan's regime in 1953. The monarchy, which had been a mere puppet under his rule, was abolished, and the Kingdom of Blueland officially became a republic after a referendum held that year, where over 85 percent of the Bluelandic population voted in favor of becoming a republic. The country became the Bluelandic Union on March 30th, led by newly elected president Kongama Batamunye. The government of Blueland began to make changes in order to improve the economy. The nation was able to create jobs, and it was able to improve the working conditions. Taxes were introduced to recover the economy, which were very effective. However, the new taxes decreased the money made from key industries. Among one was the automobile industry, which was yet to recover since the war. In response, the government was able to change the laws to create more incentive for the automobile industry, and was also able to invest in highway infrastructure. This resulted in urban sprawl in major cities such as Lawashiba. During this time, the capital Cushkalla was merged with neighboring Lawashiba, with Lawashiba becoming the new capital of the country.

Previously in 1949, the Kingdom of Bodeka was overthrown in a socialist revolution, led by Amil Lihuto, who established a totalitarian socialist dictatorship. In 1963, they began an invasion of Blueland, with support from the now-communist Geministani Federation. Bodeka wished to unite the Bodekan lands in Blueland. The Bodekans proved efficient, pushing the Bluelanders back to the Omarali state border. Shortly after, BLU amphibious troops began making landings near Aqixów, retaking the city within hours. In addition, the BLUAF proved itself effective, attacking strategic targets in Bodeka, providing air support to BLU army troops, and repelling Bodekan air raids at home. The combined BLU forces pushed the Bodekans back to their capital, Oyáxğu. Seeing this, thousands of Geministani troops were deployed to counter this. They pushed the BLU forces back to the savanna. Eventually, an armistice was signed in 1971, and a demilitarized zone was made along the armistice line. The countries would technically still be at war until a formal treaty was signed in 1992.

However, during the 1970s, traffic between major cities on highways remained low due to high prices of automobiles. Many people still wished to travel to other cities, but most didn't have cars. Furthermore, air transportation was still very expensive, and most citizens couldn't afford to take a flight. The most popular option was to take a bus, but they were usually said to be very crowded and uncomfortable.

To solve these problems, the government was able to invest in mass transportation. They were able to build up a large metro system in Lawashiba, starting in the year 1975, which was a massive success. Furthermore, in 1979, the Bluelandic Passenger Rail Corporation, which did business as UnionRail, was founded. The trains were able to provide affordable transportation throughout major cities and the country, and proved to be a major success.

During the 1980's, the nation experienced a rapid economic boom, primarily due to the modernization of its manufacturing industry, its mass exporting of goods to other nations, and its growing service industry. Furthermore, the nation was able to attract a lot of investment, which made its infrastructure stronger. It was able to become one of the leading economies in the world, as companies such as Nexus and Azure began to create products like automobiles, aircraft, and electronics among others. This period was a time of prosperity for the Bluelandic people. With the booming economy, the year 1981 also saw the new planned capital city of Ebina built in the center of the country in an effort to make the capital more geographically centralized and ethnically neutral, as well as to expand the Bluelandic economy towards the inner part of the country. The Bluelandic government officially moved to Ebina in 1985.

The economy eventually began to slow down in the 2000's, yet still remained strong. The quality of life in the country was still very high, jobs were still plentiful, and the infrastructure was still strong. The government was able to invest in education, and it was able to improve it. They were also able to invest in a number of social programs to help the poor and needy.

### The new millennium

In 2009, UnionRail began to modernize its train fleet to meet the standards of the 21st century. The EMUs running on UnionRail lines were refurbished by making modified seat layouts for more comfortable rides, and the fleet was painted in a modern color scheme. This is because of the fact that the old trains were considered outdated, and there was a lack of interest in them. Furthermore, the government was able to invest in new high-speed rail lines that would run to major cities in the country. This was an attempt to attract tourists to the country and to improve the economy.

In 2012, the nation was the victim of a terrorist attack. This was an attack launched by the terrorist organization named MACELO, who attacked both the Noviaka State Capitol building and the World Union headquarters in downtown Lawashiba by detonating a bomb in the capitol and crashing a passenger aircraft into the WU building, resulting in the deaths of thousands. This was one of the largest terrorist attacks in the history of the country. In response Blueland, along with Cortana, Leedonia, and Geministan, launched a war in Mexicalpa, where the headquarters of MACELO were located. This resulted in a major defeat for MACELO, and they were forced to flee the country.

### Contemporary era

In 2021, tensions rose in Omarali, as the new governor, Yozofo Zõnyari of the Nationalist Unity Party, began implementing unpopular laws and legislation that the Marali people saw as a threat to their cultural identity. Forces of the left-wing Marali nationalist group Mokoma led by Akano Roshili promptly took over the Marali capital, Goshonya, sparking the Omarali War, a brief conflict which lasted two months. The rebels were eventually forced to surrender, and the region went under martial law.

On January 1st, 2023, civil unrest began in Sudako on Chester Island due to their citizens getting no representation in the Bluelandic Congress. This eventually led to the territory's governor, Karole Yongabe, getting shot and ending up in critical condition later that night. He was later sent to the Lawashiba Medical Center for treatment. As a result of this, the BLU Valletta Islands went under the direct rule of the federal government, and martial law was declared over the islands.

On March 10, 2023, president Yuwaku Kalil, serving as president since 2013, resigned from his post, citing health reasons. His successor was Vice-President Danyel Seşketu, who will be officially sworn in on March 10th, 2023, and will serve until the end of the term following a new president's inauguration on August 4, 2024.

## Actual history

Sometime in late 2018, PaintedBlue and a group of his friends began to wander what is now known as Lawashiba. They built houses and did other stuff. A small minecart station was built for what is now the LTA Blue Line, making the first form of public transport in the realm. PaintedBlue then established a country which was most likely the Vortex Republic. Then in 2019, the country was renamed into the Blueland Republic. Some time in late 2019, before they made their own account, a player named GPS J4325 made the first road in Westlake. The nation expanded in all sorts of ways until the nation was renamed to Blueland. The country was based on the United States of America until the rule on basing countries off of real-life regions was lifted.

On June 10th 2021, the country gained its short-form name of Blueland.

On January 5th, 2022, the capital was officially moved to Ebina.

On August 17th, 2022, northern Elisia was transferred to Blueland after an agreement between PaintedBlue and fork\_07 regarding the transfer of territory. The territory was divided up into two parts, with the west being annexed into Blueland as West Bodeka, while the east became a state known as Bodeka.

## Geography

The Bluelandic Union occupies a total of ### square semicubes, making it the ##th largest country behind INSERT COUNTRIES HERE. It's contiguous borders comprise a total of ### square semicubes, with the island state of Analoa being ### square semicubes large. The country is mostly located in Gyrothalassa, however the Mutolaraki Canal in the northeast defines the border of the Gyrothalassan continent. By all technicality, Blueland is a transcontinental country.

In the north, the Noviaka Plain stretches far and wide across the state of Vortesia with forests sprawling as well. Sparse mountain ranges form the country's northern border with Cortana, as well as some borders with Leedonia. More forests form the border with Simbia. The Great Tochenio Desert is located in the north, which is among one of the counties major deserts. The end of the Noviaka Plain divides the country between its north and central regions.

In central Blueland, forests and taigas stretch far and wide across the country. Several mountain ranges make the central region very rugged, with large valleys and basins creating perfect places for civilization. The country's largest mountain, Mount Lucia, is located in this region. The eastern coast of the region is dotted with bays and peninsulas. In the west, the region of Javada has a diverse selection of biomes, with the Camino Desert covering the lower portion of the state, with various forests and mountains covering it's north.

In the south, Lake Omarali separates the central region from the country's southern regions. Named after the lake, the state of Omarali covers the south. The region is split by the Koyasine Mountains, which run from southern Yukana to central coastal Omarali. Covered with forest and sparse plains, the region also contains the Angel Mesa, the only mesa in the entire country which is located at the country's southernmost tip.

West Bodeka has

On the island of Analoa, taiga and mountains cover the large island, with small plains dotting the island as well.

### Climate

Due to its location on the equator, Blueland is almost entirely tropical. Its northern regions, as well as Analoa, have a tropical rainforest climate (Köppen: *Af*) due to their location on the equator. These regions usually experience high mean annual temperatures, small temperature ranges, and large amounts of precipitation. The average temperatures for these regions range from 22.1 to 23.9 °C (71.78 to 75.02 °F,) and precipitation usually averages around 2,000 mm (76 in) annually. They have two seasons—a wet season and a dry season, with the wet season being from April to September and the dry season being from October to March.

The country's central and southern regions have varied climates. The majority of the region has a tropical monsoon climate (Köppen: *Am*) with hot and wet summers and warm and dry winters. The average high temperatures for these regions range from 25.0 to 26.8 °C (77.0 to 80.24 °F,) and low temperatures range from 15.2 to 24.9 °C (59.36 to 76.82°F). Precipitation usually averages around 1,500 mm (59.40 in) annually, occurring mainly during the summer months. There are two main seasons—a hot and wet season from May to November and a warm and dry season from December to April.

In southern Javada, as well as in eastern West Bodeka, there is a tropical savanna climate (Köppen: *Aw*.) The average high temperature usually is around 28.7 °C (84 °F,) and low temperatures usually are around 22.2 °C (72 °F.) Precipitation usually averages around 1,300 mm (50.8 in) annually, occurring mostly during the summer months. Similar to neighboring regions, they have a two-season wet and dry climate. The period from December through April is normally sunny and quite dry, with only 25 percent of the annual rainfall occurring. May through November is normally the wet season. During the wet season some rain falls on most days, often as brief, but heavy tropical downpours, followed by intense sun.

## Government and politics

The Bluelandic Union is a federal republic consisting of 7 states, 2 territories, and a capital district. Citizens are subject to three levels of government, federal, state, and local. The government employs a separation of powers which divides the government into three branches:

* Legislative: The bicameral Congress, made up of the Senate and the House of Representatives, makes federal law, declares war, approves treaties, allocates state funds, and has the power of impeachment.
* Executive: The president is the commander-in-chief of the military, can veto bills prior to passage, and can appoint members of the Cabinet.
* Judicial: The Supreme Court, whose judges are appointed by elections, interpret laws and overturn decisions that are found unconstitutional.

The executive branch is led by a president, elected every four years with a term limit of two terms. Elections begin at the beginning of May, and inauguration on August 4. The president is elected through a popular instant runoff vote, where voters directly elect the president through ranked-choice voting. The current president of Blueland is President Danyel Seşketu of the Social Democratic Party, who replaced long-serving president Yuwaku Kalil when he resigned from office.

The House of Representatives has ### members, representing a constituency for two year terms. Constituencies are decided through population. The capital district and each territory have one member of congress. They cannot vote.

The senate has 21 members, where each state has three members. Territories and the capital district do not have senators. The president serves a four-year term with no term limit. The president is elected through an semidirect system where each constituency (consisting of ### people each) yields one electoral vote, and the candidate with the most electoral votes by the end of the electoral period wins. Only the residents of a constituency may vote for that constituency. The Supreme Court is led by a chief justice, who is appointed through a vote by the court. The court consists of nine justices who are appointed for a lifetime by the president.

Officially, Blueland operates under a multi-party system. The three main parties consist of the progressive Social Democratic party, the conservative United Democratic Party, and the left leaning Justice Party. Many other political parties also operate throughout the country.

### Administrative divisions

Blueland is subdivided into 11 contiguous territories, and 2 external territories, The contiguous territories consist of 8 states (*araşan*), 2 autonomous territories (*geşolawajor selneja*), and 1 capital district (*kolumi ayaban*). The external territories are dependencies administered as part of the Bluelandic Union, but are given more autonomy and usually are not represented in Congress.
