Republic of Asianland

**Asianland** (Japanese: アジアンランド, *Ajianrando,* Tagalog: Asianland) officially the **Republic of Asianland** (Japanese: アジアンランド共和国, *Ajianrando kyōwakoku,* Tagalog: Republika ng Asianland) is an intergalactic democratic unitary republic ruled from Manila on Earth. Its influence extends well outside of the Milky Way Galaxy; bordering countless other nations and possessing a cumulative surface area of over 607.21 million km2. Its largest city is Weeaboo City, while its capital is Manila. Some other major cities include Diamond City, Tokyo, New Delhi, Singapore, New Port Arthur, Sydney, Beijing, Jakarta, Redrock, Mobenix, Adrientia, Ardenne City, Joenelia, Cremona, Nokito City, Fort Sakai, Nyannyan City, Mount Fubuki, Hikari, and Danholm.

Asianland contains numerous highly populated cities, with the Greater Weeaboo City Area being the most populous in the Local Group with a population of 83.2 million. Its expansive geography and history has resulted in Asianland containing areas of the greatest and least population density in the Local Group. It is the most populous nation in the Local Group, being home to over ~101.03 billion people in all of its territories. It is a highly developed nation; but owing to its size, the nation's more rural areas are not as urbanized as the dense population centers seen in the cities.

The nation was practically conceived by warfare; its history bloody and long. In 2016, the Great Gmod War led to global nuclear annihilation as the United States, Russia, China, France, the United Kingdom and their respective allies engaged in the largest war since World War 2. NATO, who had been crippled slightly less during the first nuclear exchange began deploying troops across Europe and Asia in an attempt to end the war. In a desperate last attempt to repel the NATO invasion, China and Russia launched their second nuclear exchange, with which NATO forces responded in kind. The resulting geopolitical landscape was desolate and barren. Radiation, disease and famine killed hundreds of millions as governments fell apart due to war or internal pressure resulting from a lack of resources. Asia in particular had been hit especially hard; its high population density and urbanization resulted in the most fatalities out of anywhere in the world, prompting mass suffering and adversity. Japan and the Philippines, who are no strangers to warfare or hardship struggled to survive as their legitimate governments collapsed. Both countries were ruled by struggling leaders, and insurrection was common.

By 2037, the situation had improved little as more continued to suffer and die. On August 3, 2037, an army of 100,000 formed from the remnants of the PLA pushed in from northern Luzon in a bid to access the country's fresh underground cave water. Then incumbent President Rodrigo Sanchez I, nicknamed "Chairman Meow", personally led several infantry divisions into battle against the enemy, earning a stunning, unanticipated victory which shocked the entire world. An opportunist and now a revered figure, Chairman Meow seized more power and planned to re-strengthen Asia by exploiting Pan-Asianism across the region; which had long festered in light of the extreme circumstances many were subjected to. Nationalistic fervour grew as Chairman Meow initiated years of reform and expanse. American soldiers attempting to invade Japan in 2038 led to Filipino intervention; Chairman Meow gambling to increase nationalist sentiment. This event forged a strong alliance between Japan and the Philippines. From this grew a loose collection of nations headed by Rodrigo Sanchez, which would later become Asianland as he marched around Asia claiming territory and forged powerful alliances through deft diplomatic work. After years of tactical, strategical, political, and economic success, an effective cult of personality grew around the legend of Rodrigo Sanchez. On April 27, 2043, the Constitution of the Republic of Asianland and the Declarasian were signed by the Philippines, Japan, China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Singapore, Laos, Thailand, and Malaysia and a united Korea, dissolving their own governments and officially founding the Republic of Asianland, designating Manila its capital and Rodrigo Sanchez its first president. Many later signatories came in the years to come.

To date, Asianland has achieved a commanding grasp of international politics; maintaining a very powerful military, cementing itself as the largest economy in the Local Group, a dominating cultural output which encompasses media and cuisine from the Mediterranean to Eastern Asia, and has made impressive leaps in the fields of science and law. Despite this, Asianland suffers from frequent insurgency and a lack of development especially in more recently conquered areas, stemming from nationalist separatism and the dislike of a powerful central government. Wealth inequality is significant on Earth between those living in Eastern Asianland and those in the West, especially due to terrorism and insurrection.

The nation is highly militaristic and is known to respond to acts of perceived provocation violently.
