'''The Federation of the Southern Coast of Lapérouse''', officially T'''he''' '''Crowned Socialist Federation of the Southern Coast of Lapérouse''', (more commonly referred to as '''The Federation''') is a sea bordering country in Far Western [[Yasteria]]. The Federation borders [[Helslandr]], [[Nakosa]] and [[Vistaraland]]. Geographically, the country is diverse with a large mountain range in the Northern-East and plains across the Southern-West, along the coast of Guilder. The climate was primarily oceanic, with semi-arid weather around the lake Serein in the north-east. The Federation has a large young growing population over forty-five million and is settled primarily around the large urban centers across the country. The national capital and principal financial center of the Federation is [[République C.D]] and its most populous city is Batkong.
The country is primarily made up of several twelve major ethnic groups and thirty-four minor ethnic groups. Originally was made up of only four, during the time of the [[Queendom of Lapérouse]] however after the Socialists victory in the civil and unification war. The Federation established several mass immigration programs, starting in the 1930s which greatly changed the demographics of the country, including species, ethnic group, religion and so forth. Becoming extremely multicultural in its nature, often referred by sociologists as a salad bowl. With the only clear plurality being the population being made up of Kemonomimi. Despite the multicultural background of the country, Frakanic remains as the dominant language of the country.
The Federation established itself as a large socialist power, the second largest socialist economy behind [[East Cerdani]] in the world and a regional power within [[Yasteria]].
The Federation of the Southern Coast of Lapérouse is a constitutional monarchy with monarcho-socialist elements. It is a representative democracy with three separate branches of government. It has a tricameral national legislature composed of the ‘Chamber of Regional People' the upper house, ‘Chamber of Direct Voices’ the lower house and the ‘Chamber of the Ethnicities’ as the middle house. Majority of policy issues are decentralized, with largely different laws by jurisdiction. The Federation ranks highly in various international measures of quality of life, sapient rights, income equality, innovation and education. It has a low level of perceived corruption. It has a single payer and centralized healthcare system. As a salad bowl or melting pot of cultures, ethnicities and species, the Federation has been shaped by both its immigrant population and its plethora of native cultures.
The Federation is a founding member of the [[Red Crown Economic Union]], founding member of the [[International Federation of Sapient Aid Organizations]], co-leader of the [[Norgsveltian Crown Realm]], driving force of [[Together Lapérouse!]] and center for several financial institutions for the socialist and developing world. Headquarters for the [[International Socialist Endowment Fund]], [[International Industrial and Agricultural Action Fund]], and several other related organizations.
The Federation has the tenth highest military budgets in the world and a large military force outright.

''Main Articles: [[Education in the Federation]] and [[Higher Education in the Federation]]''
Since 1920, compulsory education in the Federation comprises primary and junior secondary school. Later in 1958, university and trade schools were added to the compulsory education as part of education reform.
University level are broken up into three levels, Regional Level, Federal Level and Peerage Level. Entrance exams are only required for Federal Level and Peerage Level, as Regional Level is required by law to accept all applications regardless of testing score or grades. The entrance exams are given by the Federal Education Exam and Certification Board, testing is a week long process with each day of the week covering a one subject per day. As part of university degree and the trade school certification process, work experience is required as a result the university and trade schools partner with state companies, Rochefort companies, cooperatives and with university employment itself. Regional Level universities often rely on employing students into its university to cut down on costs, although other employment is available. While unpaid internships are illegal within the Federation, majority of the non-taxed paycheck from the employment goes to the university to pay for their education.
Education within the universally controlled by the Federal government including testing, courses and funding. In junior secondary school, is when petite-nations are allowed to include their own courses into education. Which the subject of much controversy within the Federation, with majority of the petite-nations requesting to reform for the education to be more inclusive for the nations that make up the Federation. Attempts have been made to create sunday schools and afterschool programs which faced mixed results. Sunday schools have been strictly regulated, only allowing educating in religious matters and banning teaching in more educational matters such as history, math or so forth. Afterschool programs have been able to push forward with much regulation and only allows the teaching of the petite-nation cultural customs but not matters that is covered by the federal schooling program.

== Government and Politics ==
''Main article: [[Politics of the Federation]], [[Federal Government of Lapérouse]], and [[Elections in Lapérouse]]''
The Federation is a [[Monarcho-Socialism|Monarcho-Socialist]], multi-ethnic federation, with the ceremonial monarch as the head. The Prime Minister is the head of government, and defacto head of state while the ceremonial head of state is the monarch of the [[Norgsveltian Crown Realm|Crown Realm]]. Côtois constitution requires that there be a Vice-Directing Chair from the [[Côtois Combined Armed Forces]] which would assume the powers of the Federal Prime Minister incases where the FPM is unable to fulfill her duties but only incases of war or emergencies. The Federal Prime Minister, can at will create, remove and appoint new ministries or ministers.
There are three legislative houses within the parliament, making it a rare tricameral system. Post-2024 reforms, the three chambers are as followers Chambre Populaire Régionale (''[[Codexian]]: Chamber of Regional People''), Chambre des Voix Directes (''[[Codexian]]: Chamber of Direct Voices''), and the Chambre des Ethnies (''[[Codexian]]: Chamber of the Ethnicities''). In addition to the legislative houses, there are smaller petite legislative houses for niche but considered to be important issues. Chambres de Noblesse (''[[Codexian]]: Chamber of Nobility'') and Section Religieuse (''[[Codexian]]: Religious Section''). Nobles have been completely disempowered, and as outline in the constitution nobility exists to only service cultural, religious needs of the people. Nobles had their wealth and estates seized after the [[Unification War]], but petite nobility are assigned to 'historical districts' while Jarlnjas are assigned a 'historical estate' which Jarlnjas are required to host events for the petite-nations of the Federation and the Federal government. Examples of these events being on Petite Prime Ministers inaugurations.
The government has a typical tripartite branches of government with a strict checks and balances system as outline by the constitution of the Federation as well the [[Monarcho-Socialism|Monarcho-Socialist]] doctrine. The Federation, post-2024 reforms is comprised of 16 states called Petite-Nations and a single city state of [[Caenfjord]]. Policy issues that are not seen in the preview of the Federal constitution, are seen as Petite-Nations affairs and as a result can have wide jurisdictions in law.
The Federal Prime Minister has ultimate authority, able to form committees made up from members of the parliament to write laws that can write, strike down, suspend or change federal laws. The FPM has the right, to arrest and imprison any person deemed to be a threat to the country, crimes against socialism or sapientkind without trial for any length of time as outline in the constitution after 1936 crisis. This is often referred as the [[Red Sickle Notice]], and in practice was only ever truly used by FPM [[Léonce Fontaine]] to a wide affect. With most FPMs historically rarely ever issuing Red Sickle Notices out, and only for extreme cases that could be politically as well diplomatic be worth the risk of issuing out orders. In the same case for use of committees to enforce political changes, as it is seen in Côtoise culture as a tool only to be used in extreme cases or gridlock, other was using such committees is viewed as being weak and being a failure as a leader. In Côtois political tradition, the Federal Prime Minister position is a life-long position though there is no law or part of the constitution that states as such.
Until very recently in 2024, Federation had a dominant political system by the [[Royal Workers' Party]]. The Royal Workers' Party in itself was made up by series of internal factions deliberately created and organized as according to Monarcho-Socialist doctrine of incubation theory. In 2024, the party was 'hatched' or in other words dissolved by the Party's internal congress and pushed by[[Jeanne Pierre]]. The new multi-party system is made-up of ten parties, with originates from the Royal Workers' Party's factions and the Queendom Restoration Party's factions. All of which being economically left, most often [[Rochefortism|Rochefortist]] in nature. Which Monarcho-Socialists point towards, as evidence of the success of incubation theory.
Voting is compulsory for all government elections, including smaller subjects such as mayor elections and city councilors. Voting requirements starts at 16 for Kemonomimi, 25 for elves and 18 for other species within the Federation. Voting in union elections, while not mandatory is heavily suggested by the government. Minor elections (such as Petite-Nation elections) are automatically a holiday, and tend to be held on Fridays. Federal elections are holidays as well but last for three days and held on the 9th of September every five years.

''Main articles: [[Law Enforcement in the Federation]]''
Côtois law is based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleonic_Code Sauvageonic Code], but has massively changed since the [[Unification Wars]] and now include 90 codes within its structure. Federal courts can impact petite-national level courts in their rules but not visa versa, as lesser courts do not bind to other higher level court systems. Doctrinal works and academic jurists, the latter often being done within the legal subcommittee of the parliament has strong influence in law creation and in law cases. Judges and judicial officials, have to go through a background check, entry exams and then be selected from a pool by the legal subcommittee of the parliament. The legal system is based on the Federal Constitution, created in 1920 and is the fundamental law of the country. All other forms of legislation and court decisions must conform to its rules. It mostly recently been amended in 2024, for a total of 190 amendments. Petite-Nations have their own constitutions save [[Caenfjord]], which has a charter which all must not contradict the Federal Constitution.
The Federation has four levels of policing, and as required by the constitution is required to maintain a apolitical as a institution. Legally, all forms of law enforcement are a unified in a single organization, but with wide differences in scope between the different branches. To become a federal level law police officer, one has to attend a police academy for six months with a additional requirement of month long training for a petite-nation they are assign too. For lower level, petite-national level law enforcement it is three months and for the lowest level of law enforcement the requirement can differ but usually requires two weeks of training for emergency services. The highest level of law enforcement are specialists agencies, which require a bachelors' degree to join.
Prison system within the Federation, for non-violent offenses take a progressive approach with a focus on education, rehabilitation and community building. The Federation as outline in the construction is required to have specialized prisons and services for its [[Akuanism|Akuan]] population, due to the intense social connections Akuan cultures have. Majority prisons in the federation are Renovillages (''[[Codexian]]: renew villages''), which are isolated villages far away from urban centers where prisoners are for the most part self-governing. While there are guards and staff at the prison, prisoners have a elections for a council, can choose to further education or renew certifications and establish their own laws as long it does not contradict or violent prison's policies or legal laws of the Federation. Prisoners can self-impose punishments on other prisoners if they violate the prisoners' made laws. The prisons themselves, required prisoners to be isolated from the world, as in not-allowed to communicate with family or friends outside of the prison and are required to attend prisoner meetings.
The legal system in the Federation has been criticized internationally, partly out of harshness towards organized criminals and having no formal structure of prison sentencing. When individuals are found guilty and face prison time. As majority cases where prison time is faced, individuals are required to stay in prison until they can prove to a panel of rehabilitation experts that they have reformed. Resulting in prisoners for low-level offenses, on a per capita bases and with all factors includes serve sentences longer than other nations of it size.
== Military ==
''Main Article:'' [[Côtois Combined Armed Forces]]
(editiors note; this section is going to be rewritten to be better fit wikipedia style format. This was basically just a rapid fire way out of explaining how the Feds operate military meme in a quick and short fashion)
The head of the '''[[Côtois Combined Armed Forces]]''' is the [[Federal Prime Minister]], and acts as the directing chair of the '''Combined Armed Forces Council'''. As the directing chair, the FPM assigns the Minister of Defense and the chairs of branches. The (C.C.A.F.) represents the six branches of the Federation military, Armée de terre du Côtois (Côtois Army), Marine du Côtois (Côtois Navy), Aérospatiale et espace du Côtois (Côtois Aerospace and Space), Force d'autodéfense du Côtois (Côtois Self Defense Force), Garde côtière du Côtois (Côtois Coastal Guard), and Guerre non orthodoxe en Côtois (Côtois Unorthodox Warfare). The later branch, Côtois Unorthodox Warfare being subject to numerous conspiracies' theories, as officially the branch focus on biological, chemical, psychological and cyberwar warfare. However conspiracy theorists put forth that the branch actually produces biological and chemical weaponry that specifically target different species rather than defense against such weaponry though the Federation has denied such claims despite the limited evidence to the contrary. The Federation maintains one of the largest budgets and military personnel in the world. The intense collaboration with [[Norgsveltian Crown Realm]] and [[Norgsveldet]] in particular, the military-industrial complex and R&D is one of the most famous in the world. As in across the Crown Realm the shared integration of industrial-technological strength, results in if nation lacks ability to produce military product or military-close product than other nation can easily make up the different and the tight-knit bordering-shared markets allowing ease of access. Research and Development angle wise the [[Special Relationship (Norgsveldet-Federation)|Special Relationship]], resulted in Norgsveltian technological advancements be capitalized in industry by Côtois industrial might, then adapted towards [[Norgsveltian Crown Realm]] and later [[Red Crown Economic Union]] militaries. The ability to have not just a stream of high-end quality military equipment being made, but sold throughout the [[Union of Commonwealth Alliances]], [[Red Crown Economic Union]] and [[Norgsveltian Crown Realm]] results in plethora of experience being adapted for military technology, equipment lines and production slow downs. When it comes to buying military equipment, [[Norgsveldet]] and Federation are so entwine that in most cases, that nations buying army equipment such as firearms or tanks buy from [[Norgsveldet]] are actually buying from the Federation (or vise versa) but through Norgsveltian middlemen and a example of [[Special Relationship (Norgsveldet-Federation)#Norvegiançaise|Norvegiançaise]]. The stream of combat reports, shared advancements in technology being adapted to military use and other such aspects, results in a edge to Côtois-Norgsveltian Military-Industrial Complex.
The Côtois government maintains Université des Nations (University of Nations), which to simply studies various nations cultural, language, economic, politics and historical aspects of nations. The University studies various nations for economic, influential (such as soft power) and militarily reasons. Being a key part of Côtois doctrines, as the university acts as a guiding hand on how officers should act and treat natives of countries they're operating in, important/key figures in nations, diplomats protocols with given nations and so forth. While the Côtois Intelligence Agency still plays a role in information gathering, the university acts as a tool for the military to discover potential problems from cultural clashes, issues with occupations and so forth. Resulting in Côtois forces being one of the best, if not the best force to use for peacekeeping operations. As Côtois forces have the least amount of reported offenses in the world during peace-keeping operations ran by the Federation, as the officer core of the Federation is aware of cultural boundaries and issues thus ability to enforce it within the lower ranks to avoid friction. The university provides pamphlets with short phrases and important cultural aspects to beware of for NCOs and lower ranked soldiers while it provides courses for officers before a given operation called 'Cours de formation rapide' (Rapid Fire Course) for a brief overview culture and history. Additionally, the university helps the military designate specific targets that hold cultural or morale importance, such as religious sites, important historical buildings and so forth for invasions, occupations or peacekeeping operations. All of which part of the Côtois strategies of 'advantage stacking' and [[O.I.I.I.A.]] operations.
The Federation not only maintains military bases across the Urth, but has training grounds alongside them alongside of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wargaming war games] with a plethora of nations. The heavy use of cross-training and war games not only keeps the readiness of the C.C.A.F, but makes it adaptable and aware of short comings. As the Federation abilities to adapt, regardless of the circumstance of the conflict has proved to be one of the most powerful aspects of the C.C.A.F. Rather than planning for every situation, the Federation doctrine is being able to adapt and change while still maintaining a coordinated organized force with its officers having considerable amounts of flexibility in their orders. The government of the Federation holds various operations or tests with various hypothetical situations to test itself in various ways outside of the military aspects such as economic or political. Examples being [[TONOP 173]], Natural Disaster Days and so forth, as the Côtois government semi-regularly wants to test itself incase of disasters, economic dangers and diplomatic fallouts. As such, the Côtois maintains plans for dealing with economic turmoil, diplomatic fallout and political unrest. Which of course is part of Côtois strategy of 'advantage stacking' and preparedness for situations but not strictly following structured plans, feeds into Côtois military strength.
The network of bases, alliances such as the [[Norgsveltian Crown Realm]], [[Federation of Bana|Republic of Bana]] and [[Red Crown Economic Union]] being a critical part of Côtois doctrine. Despite the common belief, Côtois rarely engage in armed conflicts alone often in cases they leverage their network of alliances with nations, paramilitary groups, political pressure organizations and so forth to support them in their endeavors. Even if the Côtois government enters alone militarily wise, the Côtois government is able to gather a maelstrom of support internationally and in several cases nationally within the hostile nation itself. Example being in the [[Ymirland Civil War]], where [[Norgsveldet]] was heavily supporting the Côtois government economically and in [[South Hills]] homegrown groups in Concord protested against the government in it's involvement in the war. Incases where other nations join the Côtois forces in conflicts in war or peacekeeping operations, thanks to the level of integration the Federation holds with their partners, disruption, misunderstandings and friction is kept minimum resulting in effective collaboration efforts during such operations.
Officially, the Federation doesn't maintain any connection to paramilitary groups across the world. As both [[Monarcho-Socialism]] ideology and in [[Côtois Culture]] itself has a strict view on the art of soldiering and warfare. Viewing paramilitaries, mercenaries and armed organizations that violate universally agreed on sapient rights as immoral. In particular when it comes to mercenaries, the Federation more than just agrees on the [Urth Geneva Conventions here] that mercenaries are illegal combatants but more than that, views mercenaries are a social ill on society and foot soldiers of capitalism. As war in [[Côtois Culture]] and [[Monarcho-Socialism]] view, should be done for moral and just reasons, and the soldier profession is treated with high honors not to be sullied by inferior reasoning such as money but only by righteous reasons. When it comes to paramilitary forces, while officially the Côtois government doesn't maintain relations or connections with such forces. The Côtois government maintains connections with 'Armed Liberation Movements' and related groups, offering support to them. The Côtois connection to such groups is practically being virtually global, however rather than being a dogmatic in its support of armed liberation movements. The Côtois leverages more in diplomatic sense for cease-fires and negations. Besides the diplomatic aspects these paramilitary groups are often in use during operations and conflicts conducted by Côtois government, using them as supplement force, scouting or other so force. In some cases, even using the armed liberation movements as a de-facto governing force in occupied areas though with limitations and oversight by the Côtois government.
== Economy [Pri-Rework/do] ==
''Main Articles: [[Economy of the Federation of the Southern Coast of Lapérouse]]''
=== Overview ===
Federation of the Southern Coast of Lapérouse has a developed, medium-income mixed economy, characterised wealth equality and government involvement, economic diversity, a skilled and education labour force and high innovation. It is currently the [[List of countries by GDP (nominal)|18th largest economy in nominal GDP]]; largest member in the [[Red Crown Economic Union]] in population and economy; Founder and key member of [[Together Lapérouse!]]; and it is the second largest economy in the socialist world. Having the [[Rochefort Street Stock Exchange]], a major business district for the greater socialist world providing essential banking services, investments and other financial services for the socialist and developing world. Despite having various history of being pariah-state until 1937 and facing numerous sanctions throughout the history of the country due it the country's unique form of foreign policy. The country resilient economy is due for a variety of factors such as the [[Special Relationship (Norgsveldet-Federation)|Special Relationship]], plentiful resources and manufactory capitibility. Having a history of self-reliance dating back to the pariah-state status in the 1920s to 1937, that continues be a important factor in Federation economy policy.
Federation's economy is diversified; industrial sector represent a third of the workforce and GDP, while services and government services (such as healthcare or education) represents a third. Federation is one of the largest manufacturing countries in the world; however the Federation's agricultural sector has been long neglected by the socialist government, due to the government policies on focusing on mineral wealth and industrialization. One of the core parts of the [[Mending the Land]] and other ten year plans, is integration of natural resources, city centers and industrial centers. Making the Federation into one of the most integrated countries in the world, with a intensive railway and transport network. Workers and labour in the Federation being high in terms of productivity.
Poverty and unemployment is officially non-existent by the Federal government, though [[Norgsveldet|Norgsveltian]] economists and institutions have criticized the Federation's statistics primary citing the administrative regions not being included into the statistics. The Federation has a robust and extensive welfare state; Compulsory education which includes both university and trade school programs; and most controversially for [[Norgsveldet|Norgsveltian]] economists job guarantees. The Federation runs a state own company, 'Service National d'Emplois' (Staynish: National Employment Service), which is the lynch pen in the Federation combating unemployment. The SNE automatically enrolls recently fired, graduates from trade schools and universities or individuals who quit from their previous job. SNE aims to provide alternative employment for workers and assists in finding new employment with the various firms or government agencies. SNE provides work for seasonal work such as farming or fishing, street sweeping and other minor professions.
Poverty in the Federation has been declared illegal since the founding of the Federation, though my foreign economists hold same criticism as before with the administrative regions. Poverty is combated within the Federation through the welfare network, state ran public housing programs, resettlement/moving opportunities to move around in the country, and the SNE agency.
