Southern Coast, officially the Crowned Socialist Federation of the Southern Coast, is a sea bordering country in the Far Western Yasteria. The Federation is bordered by Helslandr, Nakosa, Statisland, Letollia and Vistaraland. The geography is dominated by the mountain range in the north and flat plains coastal regions to the south, with a large lake in the western region of the country. The climate is primary oceanic with semi-arid around the great lake. Southern Coast has a population of over 45 million.

The population is majority young and growing, primary around the new urban centers that sprawl across the republics. Primary principal language is Frakanic, with minor exceptions of Normand Republic being Norgsveltian and Iresea Republic. It's noted that Vaaran is growing increasing usage in many of the republics due to the increasing amount of refugees from Nystatiszna that has arrived. The region is home to eight ethnicities many of them with grieves with the other. The Federation itself is made up of eight republics that have a wide variety of autonomy. The Norgsvelten monarchy serves as the ceremonial head of state of the federation with much the day-to-day responsibilities being given to The People's Federal Royal Parliament which as the main legislature of the government. The Prime Minister acts as the de-facto head of the Federation but not the head of the Democratic Socialist Party. The recent election of Jeanne Pierre an outspoken anti-Vistaraland and zero tolerance for non-federal approved militias has caused much controversy with her critics stating she's acting overly war hawkish.

The government created a judicial system was completely separate from the party and the other branches of government. That could handle and descale ethic tenseness between the republics.

The Federation had a handful scandals in the past however the Socialists still hold massive majority in the parliament. Socialists party uses a mixture of pan-nationalism, love of the monarchy and the history of quality of stewardship. Able to keep the economy growing and stable while keeping a solid popular rule despite the restrictions on freedom of speech and protests. The secret police is able to crack down nationalists groups/militia while allowing the tamer national political groups are allowed to be in parliament.

History

The region is home to several different ethnic groups, species and language groups. They occasionally bonded together and united to fight off invaders. However as soon as the threat passes, they return to consistent warfare. This was the state of affairs for hundreds of years until the Alvan Empire invaded.

In the 1100's the Alvan Empire successfully conquered the region and established semi-autonomy tributaries. This was concerned to be a more peaceful time in the region. Each petty duke slowly makes ties with each other. Waiting for the perfect chance to slaughter their masters. In 1254 when the Alvan Empire collapsed on its own weight. The petty dukes took their chance and put all the elves in the region to the sword.

In the 1600s the region was colonized by Norgsveldet, taking advantage of the chaos. A clan of vikings carved out a kingdom, in the current republic of Normand. They pushed the native orc population to the brink of extinction through wars and colonization efforts. To hold the other duchies under their rule, the colonial administrators were able to play the ethnic group against each other allowing Norgsveldet to act as judge and enforcer between the groups. Eventually got rid of the duchies and the aristocratic that was fighting back their efforts to exploit the rich resources of the land. Instead they formed each of the republics by building them around the leading ethnic group in the area. They also ensured noble and wealthy families wouldn't ever be able to reach the powers they once had. Effective kneecapping any chance at coordinated revolutions.

In 1898 the republics gained their independence and the ethic tensions that have been building up erupted. Violence swept across the republics as state backed and non-state backed militias clashed, committing acts of genocide. Nearly all state institutes collapsed, plague and famine struck the region. The situation rapidly became more and more desperate as time went on. The only non-ethnic, non-religious and non-species based group in the former republics was the democratic Monarchist Socialists. They desired to create a Socialist Federation and unite the republics under the banner of socialism and crown. They focus on pushing equality, social justice and pointed towards the stability of having monarchy as a unifying force. However by the time of the great war, they only controlled a small sector of land (that's currently known as the Republique C.D. in current times) and an airfield. The Socialist Federation dream was finally achieved when Norgsveldet backed the Socialists with air power, military equipment, food and medical supplies. Food and medicine being the most important as only the socialists could provide it at large scale for the general population. Building much public support from the acts of charity as well ending the famines and plagues in the regions they held. After the socialist victory, a Norgsvelden royal figure championed the Federation and took care of each republic's major social issues personally. Holding court and settling ethnic disputes that was ongoing for hundreds of years. Forever keeping the view of the monarchy in a positive memory.

The socialist Federation maintains a democratic parliament government framework. With a heavily centralized-Worker planning economy however still keeps a Monarchy as a figurehead of the government.

After the great war in 1920, a rebuilding took place. With assistance from their once colonial overlords, socialist party enacted several sweeping policies that guaranteed basic requirements for modern civilized life. The "Bill of Workers’ Rights" provided quality housing, food, healthcare, education, jobs and equality for all. More recently in 2016 internet access was added to the bill of social rights. If the bill is violated in some way such as housing quality isn’t up to the government regulations then an individual could sue the government for the failure.

Military

The Federal Military of the Southern Coast (FMSC) and the Socialist Self-Defense Forces (SSDF) represent the combined military branches and paramilitary under control of the Federation of the Southern Coast. The military forces are firmly under the Ministry of Federal Defense & National Militia and the Prime Minister directly. The Federal military acts as the official military for the Federation and SSDF is made up of the national guard from each of the nations under the Federation. Being only funded by the regional governments instead of being under the Federal budget. While the national militia is technically separate from the federal military it is de facto under the federal control, as a result of seniority of experienced officers and reliance on the federal military to provide logistical support. The FMSC primary command structure is composed of several branches under one Central Military Council. The five major services branches: Federal Ground Force (FGF), Federal Navy (FN), Federal Air & Aerospace Force (FAAF), Cyber Defense (FCD) and Federal Orbit Force (FOF) A majority of military units are deployed along the northern border with Helslandr due to the civil war and along the southern border with Vistaraland. With the rest of the federal army station at various coastline defenses all along the coast of the country. The federal military budget is one of the largest in the world, after the established multiple naval basing treaties with various socialists and social democratic governments around the world. Additionally the Federation made massive increases to its navy, seeking to create a submarine fleet and closely working with several underwater engineering firms with the interest in developing its own submarine types. The Federation coastline defenses along the Guilder Strait are dotted with a plethora of anti-ship and anti-air missiles.

During the Redress Election in 2020, when the military budget was brought up Jeanne Pierre was the one of three individuals running the platform of increasing it in order to combat and the only candidate to bring up massively increasing the Federation’s navy. Previously the Federation stance on navy was to primarily provide logistics support and a couple submarine squads to defend the coast. Currently navy capacity is planned to be overhauled to be able to project Federation submarine fleets to all over the globe with the goal of striking wherever Vistaraland has ships or land on. When Jeanne Pierre became PM she removed the previous heads of the navy with admirals of considerably lesser experience and age. Citing needing a newer generation of ideas to correct the generation of the old mistakes. This resulted in renewed debate in naval doctrine and strategy within the Federation. The new bases spring up all around Urth increasing the navy capacity far outside it’s own direct waters.

The Redress Election also brought along a shift in overall military policy to being more proactive on the world stage, providing more assistance to socialist governments around the world and seeking to be more proactive on the peninsula defense against Pax.

The Federation provides military equipment, advisors and funding to socialist nations as part of Pierre’s campaign of international comradeship.

Federal Ground Force

The Federal Ground Force or (FGF) is responsible for all land forces in the Federation. The FGF has been a pioneer of introducing information tech and computer-assisted weaponry to the military at great expense. The latest operation doctrine of the FGF highlights the importance of info-tech, electronic and information warfare.

Amphibious Assault Force

Heavy amphibious invasion force, operating exclusively in the Guilder Strait area. Using both air and navy assets on top of a large fleet of amphibious assault craft

Federal Navy

[Being worked on, right now the running doctrine is the navy is massively increasing in size, naval doctrine is changing and wanting to increase the use of submarines]

Marine Service

The Marine Service branch services under the navy, made up of more light and more specialized forces. Which services on naval ships and acts as the primary military force outside of the Federation's borders.

Economy

The economy is largely manufactural based, with the automotive industry being one of the largest on Urth. It's a mix-market economy uses both a planning and have nationalized several industry but still having free market for luxury and select items.
