'''[[Faethalria]]'''
Faethalria was formerly a part of the [[Matriarchy of Ethalria]] and prior to that a part of the [[Grand Matriarchy of Ethalria]]. During that time, it was involved in the [[Great War]] and [[Auroran Imperial War]]. Faethalria was founded on November 2017 when it gained independence from the [[Matriarchy of Ethalria]]. When the Southern Auroran Front and Nationalist Front deposed the government of president Karl Strasser in 2019. Faethalria led an invasion of [[Kostoria-Obertonia]] which it eventually annexed.
Faethalria's political system stakes place as a unitary constitutional semi-presidential democratic republic with Jane Augusta as the inaugural and incumbent President. Following the [[Auroran-Cerenerian War]], reforms aimed at creating a non-sexist, non-racist, peaceful and democratic nation have been pursued. Following the [[Auroran Reunification Summit]] and ascension to the Treaty of [[Aura]], it is a founding member of the [[United Nations of the Auroran Continent]] and [[Ethaln League]]. Its military, the Faethalrian Defence Force, is one of the largest in the UNAC and ranks moderately among the [[list of countries by military expenditure]] and [[list of countries by number of military personnel]].
Faethalria's economy operates as a predominantly free-market economy with limited state regulation, social welfare and state-led entrepreneurship. The official legal tender is a the [[Kirib]], shared with the other nearly 20 members of the [[Auroran Central Bank]]. With a GDP of over 1.2 trillion KRB, it is a major power in the [[Economy of the UNAC]]. It benefits from a diverse labour force and abundant natural resources but struggles to compete with other UNAC member states on innovation. Its major trading partners include other UNAC member states, [[Peregrinia]], [[Free Pax States]], [[Packilvania]] and [[Kuthernburg]]. Its economy is especially strong in the export of machinery, automobiles and foodstuffs.

===
On 22 October, 2017, Bursil Alliance Forces had entered the territory of the [[Matriarchy of Ethalria]]. The government of Matriarch [[Amalda Harimann]] retreated to the Ribenstadt Emergency Underground, a bunker from which what remained of the Ethalrian government attempted to coordinate a response to the invasion and seemingly impending collapse of their state.<ref>November 27, 2017. The Last Matriarch. Post #1 by [[User:Dylan]]. https://forum.theeastpacific.com/the-last-matriarch-t3569.html#p189781</ref> Harimann is alleged to have gone insane as she faced the prospect of defeat while the rest of her government attempted to continue resisting the invasion. She authorised the launched of the Big Duster, a massive nuclear-armed ballistic missile, however due to the loss of the Kelpade Outpost, her government argued that it would be impossible to execute that request. Moments after, she was informed that Nimvja Outpost was lost. By that point Morstaybishlian soldiers had penetrated the Emergency Underground and were fighting room to room with the remaining Ethalrian forces. Amalda Harimann fled the country to an undisclosed location, presumed to be in Gondwana.<ref>January 18, 2018. The Last Matriarch.

On January 3, 2019, the Voice of Faethalria reported that a terrorist attack occurred in Rivendale, the capital city of Faethalria which led to the deaths of 33 people and the hospitalisation of 50 more.<ref name=":0">2019.

=== Independence ===
On 24 October, 2017, forces of the Bursil Alliance marched on the then capital of the [[Ethalria (Matriarchy)|Matriarchy of Ethalria]]. Then head of state of that nation, Matriarch Amalda Harimann fled the country. the remaining officials surrendered.<ref name=":2">March 18, 2019. Ethalria Will Never Rise Again. Post #9 by [[User:Dylan]]. https://forum.theeastpacific.com/ethalria-will-never-rise-again-t15938.html#p209528</ref> The Bursil Alliance partitioned Ethalria into four new nation states: [[Vothetria]], [[Kothalria]], [[Thalria]] and [[Faethalria]].<ref name=":2" /> All these nations including Faethalria were given laws and a constitution that strongly resembled the political system of [[Great Morstaybishlia]].<ref name=":2" /> These four new nations were forced to pay reparations. The were condemned by the international community. Their armed forces were placed under the supervision of the Bursil Alliance, whose forces maintained an ongoing presence in their borders.<ref name=":2" /> On one hand there were people in the country who were deeply repentant and reflective of the role their former nation had played in the war. On the other hand there were people who felt like they were being conquered and the new governments that ruled them were puppet states of Great Morstaybishlia, extensions of its empire. Although these new governments banned fascist parties, nationalist and socialist parties were able to form, many of which retained the ultranationalistic, racist, populist, authoritarian, nativist ideologies of the former Matriarchy.<ref name=":2" />
Due to the harsh reparations, economic isolation and damage to infrastructure and public institutions precipitated by the [[Auroran-Cerenerian War]], Faethalria and the other Ethaln states faced socio-economic issues like high rates of unemployment, poverty and shortages of food and medicine.<ref name=":2" /> Increasingly, the public grew resentful of the nouveau-riche that had arisen in part due to Bursil Alliance patronage.

On March 4, 2019, President Karl Strasser of [[Kostoria-Obertonia]] and his cabinet held a meeting with President Jane Augusta and her government via a teleconference. In this meeting, they shared intelligence on the Southern Auroran Front and set the high-level strategy for dealing with them which would entail a Faethalrian military incursion into the north of Kostoria-Obertonia under UNAC oversight. Furthermore, it was revealed that the SAF was working to embed itself in and fundamentally alter the democratic political system of Kostoria-Obertonia through co-opting the Kostoria-Obertonia Nationalist Party.<ref>March 4, 2019.

In a plot to overthrow Gertrude Amaliadotter and restore an ethnonationalist government in [[Thalria]], [[Lenski Sarinn]] supplied Vandel with Ethalrian-made weapons hoping to both paint Amaliadotter as a traitor to the UNAC alliance as well as provide Alexander Vandel with a reasonable chance of victory.<ref>July 20, 2019.

Confronted with the trauma of the defeat of the Auroran-
The primary political agenda is led by the Democratic Movement, a broad front composed of parties that subscribe to a center to left political agenda focusing on demilitarization, environmentalism, cosmopolitanism and egalitarianism. The small National Coalition represents a more Conservative approach but ventures far from the radical fundamentalist jingoistic ideas that pervaded Ethalria in its final hours. Despite concerted efforts at reeducation and reform, a small minority of totalitarian sympathisers, ethnic-purist and expansionists under the Unification Alliance remain in obscure political circuits and attract limited intrigue.
=== Government ===
The political system of Faethalria takes place in the framework of a unitary constitutional semi-presidential multi-party democratic republic. The Constitution of Faethalria, as the highest law in the land, provides for a three-branch government with checks and balances as well as the fundamental rights of citizens and organization and structure of state institutions. Passed in January 2018 via a referendum and drafted jointly by representatives of the newly established Faethalrian state and the Bursil Alliance (which won the [[Auroran-
At the apex of the political system is the President (currently [[List of Ethalrian Monarchs|Jane Augusta]] since 2017) who is elected by the public every 3 years to a maximum of two terms. As the head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces, she is bequeathed with the powers to veto laws (subject to an override of the Parliament), to appoint the Prime Minister (with the consent of the Parliament) as well as the Ministers who form the Cabinet (with the recommendation of the Prime Minister). Furthermore, she represents the country abroad and directs its geopolitical strategy. The day to day running of the state lies with the Cabinet and the Prime Minister. As the highest deliberative and decision-making body in the executive branch, the Cabinet administers and proposes most legislation while individual ministers control executive government departments and advise the Cabinet on policies specific to their portfolio.
Line 98 ⟶ 110:
The FDF has a total manpower of 150,000 active professional volunteers and 75,000 reservists. Faethalria does not practice conscription. Due in part to stigma surrounding the military due to the expansionist policies of the Matriarchy of Ethalria, most of the military consists of veterans (many of whom were granted amnesty by the Bursil Alliance) and it has struggled to attract the youth or ethnic minorities. As part of affirmative action policies, the FDF has set a target on the minimum amount of males and ethnic minorities. Furthermore, Faethalria allows transgender, non-binary and homo- and bisexual individuals to serve openly without fear of reprisals with training programs and protections in place to prevent discrimination and abuse. Despite these reforms, the FDF remains dominated by Ethalrian women. While it benefits from the experience brought by veterans, it has faced controversy for its highly aggressive and hyperfeministic environment that new recruits have often described as "toxic" and "out of touch with modern political realities". There are about 1 million people coming of military age every year and about 20 million available to serve.
The FDF has an annual expenditure of 1% of GDP which is approximately 5% of the annual government budget. The country's primary foreign suppliers of military equipment include [[Great Morstaybishlia]], [[Axdel]] and [[Tuvaltastan]]. Although Faethalria successfully contested [[the Oan Isles]] ban on the sale of military hardware to Ethaln states, arms sales have not resumed. Key corporate suppliers include [[Ferrus Industries]], [[Trech]], Armstech Inc, and National Sentinel Arms. Faethalria inherited the arms manufacturing industry of Ethalria which includes artillery, infantry, and reconnaissance technology. Furthermore, it inherited the military equipment of Ethalria. Due to a deliberate cap on the military budget and reliance on Great Morstaybishlia for protection, military procurement and research and development has stalled. Nonetheless, it remains a competent military as was proven in the highly controversial invasion and subsequent annexation of Kostoria-Obertonia in the [[2019
===Administrative divisions===
[[File:Provinces of Faethalria.png|right|350x350px]]The highest level administrative division of Faethalria is the province, known in Ethalrian as the ''land''. Each province is administered by a Premier elected by the people every 3 years and a Provincial Executive Council which they appoint. The Provincial Legislative Assembly known as the ''Landtag'' in Ethalria passes laws within the scope of duties allocated to it by the Parliament.

=== Ethnic groups ===
99% of the population consists of [[Bipedaliforma]]. By [[species]], the country consists of the following: hominines (84%), elvines (14%) and others (2%). Hominine ethnic groups as a proportion of the total population are as follows: [[Ethalns|Ethalrian]] (44%), [[Kostoria-Obertonia|Kostorian]] (14%), [[Kostoria-Obertonia|Obertonian]] (9%), [[Altfers]] (6%) [[Marish people|Marish]] (4%), [[Staynes|Staynish]] (3%), [[
=== Language ===
The official language is the [[Ethalrian language]] but [[Staynish]] has special status as a recognised national language. Although government business is conducted in [[Ethalrian language|Ethalrian]], international commerce and science are conducted largely in Staynish. Ethalrian is compulsory for all non-minority and foreign children to learn. Staynish is the second-language of choice for non-minority and foreign children. [[Wikipedia:Crimean Gothic|Alferic]] and [[Wikipedia:Armenian language|Marish]] languages are taught as compulsory first languages in minority dominated communities with Ethalrian being the second language of choice. First language speakers are divided largely along ethnic lines as follows: 81% Ethalrian, 6% Altferish, 4%, Marish, 3% Staynish, 2% [[Wikipedia:Bretton language|

=== Society and family ===
Faethalria, as a part of Ethalria, has historically been a [[w:Matriarchy|female dominated society]]. Due to the end of the [[Auroran-
Nevertheless, feminocentric social structures continue to exist. For insfance, when men and women get married, men adopt their wives last names. Women dominate high level corporate and political leadership positions. A disproportionately higher number of women complete higher education and in turn get better paying jobs. Men are 4 times more likely to be stay-at-home parents. Furthermore, in a survey conducted in 2021 by the Redrugus University comprising a sample of 10,000 sampled households, men take on over 4 hours more domestic duties per day than their female spouse. Furthermore, of the 180 domestic violence cases reported in 2021, 177 of them were of female-on-male domestic abuse.
