Usonia Liberty Republic

The **Usonia Liberty Republic**, or just **Usonia** for short, is a nation that is comprised of people from the United States of America, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, and the Caribbean nations. It is one of twelve members of the Juda Federation and is home to the Cyburuns, a cybernetic race of the moon, Elegara, that orbits the gas giant, Juda Primaris. Much of the nation maybe a mix of different nations from the Americans, but it is largely based on the United States.

## History

After the "Great Exodus", many flotillas set forth into the new possibly habitable planet in the Alpha Centauri System. However, a massive wormhole appeared en route and had every fleet and ship absorbed into its gravitational pull. This also includes, *The Soaring Eagle*, of the Polo Fleet. After being flung out of wherever they ended-up, everyone on the ships wake-up and find themselves in a beautiful but dangerous galaxy. Unfortunately, they were slowly starting to mutate with many dying because of it. But the first to die from the change was the admiral of the flotilla, leaving the Polo Flotilla leaderless. That is until Coronato La Fazia, captain of *The Traveling Venetian*, called an emergency meeting with the other captains.

Captain La Fazia suggests that they use the experimental augmentation in order to survive in the new galaxy while the probes survey the moons orbiting a gas giant in the habitable zone. All agreed to it, including Captain Johnathan Goldsmith of *The Soaring Eagle*. Captain Goldsmith ordered everyone to accept the cybernetic augmentations in order to survive in the Poseidon Galaxy. Yet some have suffered some mutations that they had to adjust a few of the complications. So the people now have skin colorations that make them appear bone white to dark blue, pending on their ethnical origins, while also having bony ridges on their temples, elongated ears and blue within blue eyes. Thanks to the cybernetics, they prevented any further mutations as they replaced some of the organs with artificial ones, some of the nervous system being replaced with fiber optics, parts of the brain replaced with cybernetics and have some nanomachines that were smuggled on the ship to help with blood flow. This resulted in the people having some parts of their skin give off a blue biolumenescent veins. This resulted in the Cyburuns. A cybernetic and mutated race of people that rely more on their cybernetics as their civilization advances.

Once the probes have finished and found suitable landing sites, the ships part ways and landed on whatever moon and continent. *The Soaring Eagle* landed on the continent, Usonia, on the moon, Elegara. A cold, sub-temperate mountainous world with long snowy winters and short summers. Despite the cold, the people endured as they create a nation with liberal freedoms, equal rights for everyone, and keep the policies of the Great American Federation along with the dreams alive. They spread their nation throughout the continent over the years as they upheld many cultural traditions from the United States, Brazil, Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean nations. In their eyes, they created a peaceful paradise of freedom, democracy, liberty and justice for all. That is until they come across a problem.

On 120 AL, the Usonia Liberty Republic came across the Soviet Republic on the other side of Elegara. A nation that is largely communist and wants to eliminate all forms of capitalism, privatization and corporations. The two nations try to get along but enter into a cold war with both sides ready to launch their weapons of mass destruction when one tries to invade another. This was known as, the Elegara Cold War. Tensions were high with both sides attempting to outwit another.

But on 200 AL, those tensions drop when the Juda Federation was established. Because of that, the Elegara Cold War ended with both sides working together alongside the other nations of the federation. Despite they are working together now, they still don't like each other.

## Culture

Much of the Usonia Liberty Republic's culture is based on many cultures from the Americans. Many include Brazil, Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean and the United States but mostly the United States. As such, they enjoy much of their liberties and freedoms as much of the constitution is based on the United States constitution and bill of rights. Just like the United States, it is a melting pot of many different cultures and blend of different heritages that come together in joyous harmony. The people of Usonia take pride in their mixed culture and liberties.

Much of the architecture and aesthetics are completely mixed of any and all from the many countries as mentioned above. Both east and western influences.

In this republic, prejudice is outlawed. Any sort of racism, discrimination and/or inequality is seen as an offense. Anyone who does it will be sent to a correctional facility. Any repeat offenses will be given the death sentence.

## Economy

The economy of this nation has many focuses in many different fields. Ranging from scientific development, entertainment, industry, agriculture, space exploration, mining and many more with stock markets continue to rise as the nation progresses outwards to space. Many corporations and privatize businesses have many influences in Usonia, but they all stay out of government affairs to avoid the military industrial complexes and to avoid any sort of scandals in those affairs.

## Politics

Politics in the Usonia Liberty Republic is divided among four parties. The first is the Libertarian Party, which focuses on the reduction of the influence corporations and prevent any sort of plutocratic groups from gaining any influence or power in the government, support the common people, support social justice, supporting social liberalism, a mixed economy, and the welfare state. The second is the Federalist Party, which focuses on centralization, federalism, modernization and protectionism in which they also protect the interests of corporations of the nation. The third party is the Republican Party, which focuses on the nationalization of Usonia, economic liberalism, fiscal conservatism, and social conservatism, strong civil liberties, drug liberalization, open immigration, non-interventionism and neutrality in diplomatic relations, free trade and free movement to all foreign countries. The final party is the Democratic Party, which focuses on the welfare of the citizens, protecting the environment, support for organized labor, expansion of social programs, affordable college tuition, universal health care, equal opportunity, and consumer protection.

The symbol of the Libertarian Party is an eagle with the color red. The Federalist Party's symbol is a black and white umbrella. The Republican Party has a blue star while the Democratic Party is a green oak leaf.

## Geography

The Usonia Liberty Republic is located on one half of Elegara, a cascadian moon of Juda Primaris. The continent, Usonia, is plentiful in natural resources ranging from minerals to plants to metal. To the most northern parts, much of the land is frozen with blue ice buried beneath the snow. The equator is a very suitable spot for tourism and vacation during the harsh winters. Summers are short which everyone enjoys and never take them for granted.
