Republic of Amazon

"Life of Forest"

## History

The Amazon came to be after the crash of GeoFacts, S3. Some of the founding-members of the Republic of Amazon had long been planning this nation, prior to the server's demise, as a plan to escape a possible riot against them in their former homeland.

After receiving the sad news, they had decided to not give up on their dream, and thus, the nation of Amazon came into existence.

### Founding

The nation did not came into existence on its own, as many founding members had came together to create this beloved Republic they proudly call their homeland. Its initial founder, KDK10, had came up with the revolutionary escape plan with his compatriot MarshyPlaysGames, in order to seek refuge in case his former homeland would create a presumed riot. All the other members at the time agreed with his ideas, and starting planning, until they eventually came up with what is widely considered as the Modern Amazon.

### Flag

"Life of Forest" is the official flag of the Republic of Amazon. It consists of four main colors: red, green, yellow and orange. Each of the colors represents a component of the people's attributes and/or characteristics of the terrain that they live on.

According to the nation, the colors represent the following:

1. Red - Blood of the people, strength.
2. Green - Nature, fraternity, harmony.
3. Yellow - Progress, faith, the Sun.
4. Orange - Sunset, unity.

### Culture

The culture of the Republic of Amazon flourishes with greatness. It has aspects from the Dutch, the English, the French, the Amazonian River and Basin, the Peruvian and the Bolivian cultures. The Republic of Amazon has a lot identities, but mostly it's South American and European. As the capital district has French Guiana, the Republic of Amazon is considered semi-European (and probably a helping hand in the entrance to the Hanseatic League.) The nation has accepted and will continue to accept any religion as the Government is following the path of secularism.

## Politics

Politics within the Amazon are not very diverse, as the nation's people prefer to stick together and cooperate in order to make a nation that's good and peaceful for all citizens, including themselves. Thus, the Amazon's political scene is not very tense and is often classified as chill.

Although, that being said, they are firm believers in Democracy. They elect a President each 1,5 month(s), with the winner having to only get a simple majority.

Other important roles, following the Presidents comes the Chancellor, which is a person elected, around the same time as the President, to assure that the President does not make rash decisions and/or does not commit any mistakes throughout the time of his term.

Following the President and Chancellor, certain Ministries are assigned by the President. These Ministries will then form a main Government, which makes decisions for the nation, and not only that, but also for foreign interactions, such as friendships and/or enemies.

### Claims

The Republic of Amazon's claims span across the Amazon River, and Basin. The area highlighted in red in the image attached is the Amazon's current claims. (Note: this may change at any point, due to overpopulation, or decisions within the nation.)

## Foreign Affairs

The Republic of Amazon is quite a friendly nation, not having any enemies. They are quite intent on having better relations with nations all throughout the globe. That being said, they do know a lot of people, not only from their continent.

### Allies

The Amazon has tons of good relations with many other nations. That being said, they are not short of allies. Notable allies would include the likes of: The Central European State and The United States of America.

### Hanseatic League

The Amazon is also known for being the first Non-European state to join the prestigious Hanseatic League. They have attempted many times, but have, in the end, accomplished their dream of being let in within the Hanseatic League.

Thus, they are, to a member state to member state level, technically allies with all of the other nations found within the Hanseatic League. And so far, most member states have shown acceptance to the Amazon, and voting in favor of them. The other's who voted against, are still firm allies with the Amazon, and do not have issues with them.
