The '''Imperial States of Free Pax States''' is a hereditary, absolute, federal monarchy comprising of eight states, four special administrative regions, a territory and a district. The nation is situated in Southeast Yasteria, just south of Packilvania, and just north of Justelvard. The nation shares a land boarder with Packilvania and Justelvard though the Free Pax States is largely comprised of an archipelago. The nation has a mostly tropical climate with the exception of the Kaoghoni Desert in its northwest. The Imperial States has a diverse population of approximately 209 million.
 
 
The Imperial States traces its origins from the Alliance of Southeast Yasterean Kingdoms which was a military pact formed in 1897 by the kingdoms of Kaoghon, Lazlowia, Astlyon, Masako, Peregrinia and Tilden after the formation of Morstopackia. These Southeast Yasterean nations sought to promote culture, to avoid conflict, promote trade, and to provide a united front given the rising influence of Morstopackia to their north and south.
The'''Free Pax States''', officially known as the '''Imperial StatesAlliance of Free Pax States''' ('''FPS'''), is a hereditary,country absolute,in Southeast Yasteria and Cereneria. Free Pax States is a federal monarchy comprising of eightfive states, fourthree special administrative regions, a territory, and acontrols districtthe contested [[Tarseen]] territory. The nation is situated in Southeast Yasteria, just south of Packilvania, andnorth justof north[[Jusdelva]] and west of Justelvard[[Wealden]] in Cereneria. The nation shares a land boarder with Packilvania and JustelvardJusdelva though the Free Pax States is largely comprised of an archipelago. The nation has a mostly tropical climate with the exception of the KaoghoniPontuarya Desert in itsthe northwest and Kaoghoni Desert in the southwest.

==Etymology==
Free Pax States is the Staynishization of Ynseyes Px’il’vn’ia Kiramise that was a battle cry used by Kilumi speaking Provinces of southeastern Packilvania during the communist revolution.
 
==History==
It is believed that several migrations of Elf, Human and Nekomimi happened over the last 50,000 years that shaped the unique cohabitation and cultural similarities of different species in present-day Free Pax States. Based on archeological records the last human migration was 20,000 years ago and the elf migration was 10,000 years ago and that it divided the Emjayan humans into the Kaoghon, Tilden, and Caven-Wakovea ethnic groups. Until the Kilumi Enlightenment of 6,000 years ago the elf and human populations still wrote in Emjayan.
 
==Geography and environment==
[[File:Mount_Mahameru.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Mount Mahameru, a volcano in Arctoris.|link=Special:FilePath/Mount_Mahameru.jpg]]
The Imperial AllianceStates comprises an archipelago and continental peninsula located between the [[wikipedia:equator|equator]] and the [[Tropic of Karkata]], and between longitudes 80E and 120E. It is just West of [[Oceanus Spoilaverunt]], just Southeast of [[Codex Pontus]], and just Northeast of the [[Imperial Sea]]. The largest islands are Beren, and Tilden[placeholder]. The Imperial AllianceStates shares land borders with AstlyonPackilvania to the north and PackilvaniaGreat Morstaybishlia to the south, and shares maritime borders with Astlyon[collecting and Peregriniadata]. The population is mostly divided between Sumera and Beren[placeholder].
 
At 1,684,000[?] square kilometers (650,196 [?]square miles), the Free Pax States is amongst the the [[List_of_sovereign_states_in_the_East_Pacific#countries_and_dependencies_by_area|largest nations by land area]]. Its average population density is 87.2[?] people per square kilometer (228.3[?] per sq mi). Population density varies significantly, however, with most of the population living along the coasts. At 4,884 metres (16,024 ft), Mount Java in Beren[placeholder] is FPS' highest peak, and Lake Sumatra[placeholder] in Arctoris its largest lake with an area of 1,145 square kilometers (442 sq mi). The country's largest rivers are in [placeholder], and include Kalimantan and Borneo[placeholder]; such rivers are communication and transport links between the island's river settlements.

FPS' location along several [[wikipedia:plate_tectonics|tectonic]] [[wikipedia:fault_(geology)|faults]] make it the site of numerous [[wikipedia:volcano|volcanoes]], frequent [[wikipedia:earthquake|earthquakes]], and frequent [[wikipedia:tsunami|tsunamis]]. The Imperial Alliance has at least 150 active volcanoes including Mount Timor and Mount Sulawesi, both famous for their devastating eruptions in the 19th century. The eruption of the Jengov [[wikipedia:supervolcano|supervolcano]], approximately 70,000 years ago, was one of the largest eruptions ever, and a global catastrophe. A strong commitment to [[wikipedia:earthquake_engineering|earthquake engineering]], tsunami monitoring, volcano monitoring, and emergency response has allowed the Free Pax States to significantly reduce the deaths resulting from local tectonic activity. Nonetheless, seismic activity commonly results in deadly natural disasters in FPS including the 2004 tsunami that killed an estimated 15,893 in ColumbiaLazako. However, volcanic ash is a major contributor to the high agricultural fertility that has historically sustained the Rekomi agricultural industry.
 
[[wikipedia:tropical_rainforest|Tropical rainforests]] dominate the Imperial AllianceStates, covering approximately 6878% of the nation. Most forested areas very sparsely populated by humans, but host a wide variety of plant and animal species. These rainforests suffered substantial harm in the 15th through 18th centuries, but the early rise of [[wikipedia:environmentalism|environmentalism]] in FPS led to strict protection laws being enacted in the 19th century. Rainforests have made a comeback in recent years as a result with the level of forestation rising from just 5363% at its trough to 6878% today.
 
===Climate===
Line 98 ⟶ 101:
FPS' size, tropical climate, and archipelagic geography support the one of the world's highest level of [[wikipedia:biodiversity|biodiversity]]. Its flora and fauna is a mixture of Yasterian and oceanic species. Many islands were once linked to the Yasterian mainland, and have a wealth of Yasterian fauna. Large species such as the [[wikipedia:sumatran_tiger|tiger]], [[wikipedia:rhinoceros|rhinoceros]], [[wikipedia:orangutan|orangutan]], [[wikipedia:asian_elephant|elephant]], and [[wikipedia:leopard|leopard]], are making a comeback after years of population loss. Forests cover approximately 68% of the country. In Beren, these are predominantly of Yasterian species. Tilden and many of the smaller islands – having been long separated from the continental landmasses—have developed their own unique flora and fauna.
 
The Imperial AllianceStates is unique in its total number of endemic species with 36% of its 1,531 species of bird and 39% of its 515 species of mammal being endemic. FPS' coastlines are surrounded by tropical seas that contribute to the country's high level of biodiversity. The Free Pax States has a range of sea and coastal [[wikipedia:ecosystem|ecosystems]], including [[wikipedia:beach|beaches]], [[wikipedia:sand_dune|sand dunes]], [[wikipedia:estuary|estuaries]], [[wikipedia:mangroves|mangroves]], [[wikipedia:coral_reefs|coral reefs]], [[wikipedia:sea_grass|sea grass]] beds, [[wikipedia:mudflat|coastal mudflats]], tidal flats, algal beds, and small island ecosystems. FPS has amongst the world's greatest diversity of [[wikipedia:coral_reef_firsh|coral reef fish]] with more than 1,650 species in the Eastern FPS alone.

The federalImperial Department of Health operates the national healthcare system, providing [[wikipedia:publicly_funded_health_care|publicly funded healthcare]] to all persons mostly for free at the point of use. The national healthcare system is decentralized with states, territories, and localities operating most medical facilities, though the federal government itself operates some specialized facilities like the National Center for Infectious Diseases. The vast majority of medical facilities are operated by a government, a government corporation, or a non-profit company, but there are some for-profit hospitals that operate independently from the national health system. Drug manufacturers are for-profit entities. The government spends approximately $4500 per person on healthcare, approximately sixty percent of which is paid for by the federalimperial government with the other 40% paid for by the states.
 
The Rekomi healthcare system is widely recognized as amongst the best in the world. The Imperial AllianceStates has a life expectancy of 81110 years at birth, up from 75.298 years in 1990. Increasing rates of obesity in FPS pose a major challenge to the public health community. Approximately 21% of the adult population is obese and an additional 30% is overweight; the obesity rate, amongst the highest in the world, has more than doubled in the last quarter-century. Obesity-related [[wikipedia:diabetes_mellitus_type 2|type 2 diabetes]] is considered epidemic by health care professionals. The infant mortality rate of 4.5 per thousand places makes FPS amongst those nations with the lowest mortality rate.
 
In 2010, [[wikipedia:coronary_artery_disease|coronary artery disease]], [[wikipedia:lunge_Cancer|lung cancer]], [[wikipedia:stroke|stroke]], [[wikipedia:chronic_obstructive_pulmonary_disease|chronic obstructive pulmonary disease]]s, and traffic accidents caused the most years of life lost in FPS. Lower back pain, [[wikipedia:major_depressive_disorder|depression]], [[wikipedia:musculosketal_disorder|musculoskeletal disorders]], neck pain, and [[wikipedia:anxiety|anxiety]] caused the most years lost to disability. The most deleterious [[wikipedia|risk_factor|risk factors]] were poor diet, tobacco smoking, obesity, [[wikipedia:hypertension|high blood pressure]], [[wikipedia:hyperglycemia|high blood sugar]], physical inactivity, and alcohol use. [[wikipedia:alzheimer's_disease|Alzheimer's disease]], drug abuse, kidney disease and cancer, and falls caused the most additional years of life lost over their age-adjusted 1990 per-capita rates.

The federalImperial Department of Education operates the national education system, providing free [[wikipedia:preschool|preschool]], [[wikipedia:primary_education|primary education]], and [[wikipedia:secondary_education|secondary education]] through a network of schools operated by states, territories, and localities. Children aged roughly 3-5 through 17-19 can attend school for free, though children are only required to attend school from roughly age 5-6 through roughly age 15-16. [[wikipedia:state_school|Public school]] students attend regular classes from age 4-5 through age 15-16, then can choose amongst several options: continuing general classes in preparation for [[wikipedia:higher_education|higher education]], attending [[wikipedia:vocational_education|vocational]] courses, or leaving school altogether. [[wikipedia:school_voucher|Vouchers]] are most of the approximately 8% of children that attend [[wikipedia:parochial_school|parochial]] or [[wikipedia:nonsectarian|nonsectarian]] [[wikipedia:private_school|private schools]], and a [[wikipedia:tax_refund|tax refund]] is provided for the approximately 1% of children that are homeschooled. The government overall spends approximately $10,500 per student, though the states provide about 60% of this amount with the federal government providing the other 40%.
 
The Imperial AllianceStates has many competitive [[wikipedia:private_university|private]] and [[wikipedia:public_university|public]] institutions of higher education. A number of top Urth universities are located in the Imperial Alliance including a campus of the revered [[Shiro Academy]]. There are also local [[wikipedia:community_college|community colleges]] with generally more open admission policies, shorter academic programs, and lower tuition. [[wikipedia:vocational_school|Vocational schools]] are also common. State and local governments fund public institutions, most community college, and some vocational schools with only limited support from the federal government. Tuition at universities is often expensive, though the federal government and state governments operate grant and loan programs to assist students. Students are also able to secure student loans from private creditors.
 
The Free Pax education system is widely internationally acclaimed, and has produced a highly educated populace. Approximately 93% of Free Pax have graduated secondary school, approximately 56.2% attended some college, 29.6% earned a bachelor's degree, and 9.8% earned a graduate degree. [[wikipedia:literacy|Literacy]] is effectively universal.
Line 153 ⟶ 156:
Four states possess a structure similar to the federal government, while [[Tilden]] and the five territories have a [[wikipedia:unicameralism|unicameral legislature]]. A governor is the chief executive of each state and territory. Some cabinet members in some states and territories are elected, and some judges in some states and territories are elected. Most local governments also possess a structure similar to the federal government, though some local governments use a hybrid executive/legislative branch. Some local governments alternatively have an executive appointed by the legislature.
 
===Political divisions - WIP===
The Imperial Alliance is a federal republic of 5 states, a federal district, and five federal territories. The states and territories are the principal administrative districts of the country, and are subdivided into counties and municipalities. These administrative divisions operate autonomously, but are subject to federal law. The sole exception is Kuter Kebir, which is entirely [[wikipedia:self-governance|self-governed]]. The federal district is the capital of the Imperial Alliance. All citizens aged 18+ are eligible to participate in the presidential election, which is decided by the total national popular vote. The states, federal district, and federal territories are represented in the Representative Assembly, but only the states are represented in the Alliance Council.
 
The five states of the Imperial Alliance are Each state has its own constitution, and is largely autonomous with regards to its internal organization. The federal district is [[Liberty City]]. The federal government has granted Arctoris City self-rule, and the city government exercises substantial autonomy from the federal government. The federal territories are mostly far-flung islands, but also include Kuter Kebir, the enclave established in 2006. Each territory has its own constitution, and operates similar to a state. Kuter Kebir is the exception to the rule as it operates almost entirely independent of the federal government.
