The Federal Republic of Montesardo-East Adanzi (Spanish: República Federal de Montesardo-Adanzi del Este, Italian: Repubblica Federale di Montesardo-Adanzi Est ) is a federal parliamentary democracy, located on the continent of Foronna in Borealia, that is comprised of nine Federal Provinces and one Federal District. The capital is New Puledra City and its largest city is Trotskivna, located in the province of Cazana. Montesardo-East Adanzi dedicates itself to mining, oil extraction and high-tech industries, alongside aerospace manufacturing. Its economy is of significant importance in the Borealias, being the largest producer of high-tech products.

Etymology

The name comes from the union of the remnants of the old territories of Montesardo and Adanzi. Montesardo and East Adanzi united after The War of Union ended officially in 1894 with West Adanzi forming part of Fillicia, but combat ceased in 1893 with the occupation of New Puledra City. It is attributed due to the unification of the Montesardi nation from the conflicting city states into a centralised republic. The name is attributed to originate from Italian and Fillician vocabulary.

History

City States Era

While the fall of the brought chaos to Borealia, the surrounding areas near the Montesardi Plains and the Adanzian Mountain range were prosperous, with many merchants and traders eventually fortifying and settling small villages. Of these, nine city states were formed: the Trotsbelden-Skirvpont, Catiyer, Nevarroa, Iandero, Silfat, Auroviel, Jansylvane, Tlajomanco and Cenideros. The nine city states constantly bickered with each other, with only two reaching some sort of recognition, being the Trotsbelden-Skivpont Republic and the Auroviel Principality.

The states were heavily influenced by republican traditions, with only three of them adopting a type of monarchy or principality system. Trotsbelden-Skirvpont was a Maritime republic that held vast amounts of wealth. The liberty found in the state was regarded as one of the most free during the 14th century, with bright minds and disciplined inventors spreading knowledge abroad. Thanks to this, the city states were regarded to have a vast number of scholars and knowledge in the fields of the arcane and of the region.

Unification Era

The Violet Revolution

The Capitalist Era

While some might claim that the rule was harsh, none can deny the economic and social progress achieved during this period. Armand started the nationalization and modernization of the copper mines and had various oil refineries constructed to stimulate and move the nation's oil industry.

The Federal Mining Corporation and the Corporación Montesardi de Petroleo (Known as PEMEA) still stand as the result. The Federalismo Tower in New Puledra City was constructed under his mandate which was the headquarters of these state owned corporations. With this, Armand initiated reforms to the country’s educational system as well as the welfare system. Quality of life had drastically increased, and there was significant progress in the national economy with the new Mixed Market plan the country had instituted.

Critiques of the era stated that Armand was appeasing to the socialists with the creation of a welfare state, yet regardless of these accusations, the Socialist Coup d'Etat was sufficient proof to demonstrate otherwise. While the years were regarded as the Montesardi Golden Age, they sparked an internal conflict that ensured that the era was at its end.

Socialist Era

Around 1973, some socialist policies began starting an up stir within the population. What first started with protests, afterwards turned into a coup d'etat that knocked down the prior government and sent the old government officials into exile. The socialists managed to take control of the government and installed some politicians to control the nation.

New Duntrot Plan and the Modernization Act

It was evident to the public that following the socialist path was not the best idea, but some were still slightly reluctant to embrace new ideologies. It wasn't until 2010 when Alexandrite Lavalier Stratzhoof and Silver Breeze initiated negotiations with New Duntrot. The New Duntrot Plan was created to modernize the national economy and to ensure competition with other nations that formed part of the pact.

This plan, however was met with strong resistance from the opposing Socialist Party that claimed that only some adjustments needed to be made to the national economy. Even though much resistance was met, Alexandrite and Silver Breeze pushed the plan through Parliament just barely exceeding 59% votes in favor. The country is still undergoing renovations to its economic structure.

Government & Politics

Parliamentary Palace in New Puledra City

Montesardo-East Adanzi is a federal bilateral parliamentary democracy with the prime minister exercising the role of head of state and head of government. Unlike other democratic systems, the cabinet has been replaced with an advisory that preforms the same functions. The current Montesardi government follows the Federal Constitution of 1896 as the basis of laws and political structure. Due to various governmental changes, the constitution has been modified to fit the modern ideals of the nation. Some notable changes are primarily removing the national religion, changing the official national name and major modifications to the citizenship article.

The executive power is exercised by the Prime Minister and the Federal Advisory who make up the government, while the legislative power is headed by a bilateral parliament, the Federal Parliament of Montesardo-East Adanzi divided into the Federal Council and the House of Commons. The judiciary does not rely on the other powers and is completely independent, currently the Grand Central Court ensures that the constitution is respected with the legislation and other federal laws, while the Republican Court deals with administrative cases and other types of appeals.

Universal suffrage is granted for all sexes and species since 1896, and every Montesardi citizen who has achieved parental emancipation has a right to vote. Currently, the Montesardi parliament consists of 340 members who are elected every two or four years in 50 electoral districts on federal elections periods. While political parties used to receive public funding, the Federal Council repealed such legislation in 2010 with the New Duntrot Act.

The political spectrum of the nation is rather diverse in the sense, with right wing parties like the NCP, left wing like the SNM and the ecologists like the EP. Recently, independents have been allowed to run for office, gaining minor seats within the parliament. While the NCP and the SNM continue to hold majority, the EP has grown in power significantly, alongside a political alliance with the NCP forming the Coalition for Progress.

Federal Montesardi Advisory

The Federal Advisory is the administrative body of the executive branch, counting with sixteen ministers in charge of specific ministries. The ministers are all appointed by the prime minister and can be standard members of various political parties, should the prime minister find it appropriate.

The constitution allows the appointment of a Senior Advisor on Policy, who is also the Minister of Treasury, also appointed by the prime minister to assist in day to day affairs with the parliament and the Federal Advisory.

Administrative Divisions

Montesardo-East Adanzi consists of nine provinces, and one federal district, New Puledra. Each province follows Federal Law and is allowed to enact its own laws should they not interfere with Federal Law. Each province is administrated by a Governor who is appointed by the Federal Council. In the past, each province had their own constitution, but this was outlawed in 1973 by the Federal Council to ensure political stability. Now, provinces are only allowed to enact their own laws, making sure that they do not conflict with Federal Law or the Federal Constitution.

Nevarro is the only province that continues to have a constitution, primarily due to traditions of the area. The province is governed by the Fillician-Venedecian Council that continues to enact laws in the province, regardless if they violate Federal Law. The province of Nevarro has to abide with the Federal Constitution, however.

Geography

File:Aurovielmount.png
Cilland Mountain Range in Auroviel

Montesardo-East Adanzi mostly consists of three types of areas, being the plains of Montesardo, the mountainous region of East Adanzi and the coastal regions of Nevarro and Cordilleras del Principe. The diversity ensures that the nation has a rather diverse and abstract agriculture, also with largely diverse temperature spans. According to statistical data from the INAGE, Nevarro is the warmest province of all the nation, due to its coastal proximity and low sea level. The nation has a mix of Tropical, Dry, Temperate, and Polar (Alpine tundra) climates, varying province by province and by elevation.

The climatic diversity of the nation has made it even more of a challenge in attempts to regulate the national weather. The lack of sufficient pegasi and the naturally unstable climatic situation only further eradicates the problem, but after some years, most of the population has grown accustomed to the radical changes in weather and high speed winds.

In terms of size and GDP from other nations, Montesardo-East Adanzi has the largest, wealthiest economy in Borealia, much of the nation's foreign policy concentrated on global trade. While considered an extremely large and powerful economy, the Montesardi economy faces heavy competition from other nations in Borealia, primarily the Lubyak, Amalfi and Lykosia.

The Central Bank of Montesardo-East Adanzi prints and issues the nation's currency to avoid corruption and inflation under the Bank Structural Act of 2005. Even with these measures in place, the nation has had to employ new methods of avoiding counterfeiting and has recently allowed the Bank of the Montesardi Commerce (BCMA) to assist in the anti-counterfeiting measures.

With the nationalisation of the nation's natural resources, a considerable fraction of the Montesardi GDP is reliant on the output and income of the state owned corporations. Primarily, the nation dedicates itself to the exportation of oil and copper products, which have formed part of the economy since achieving independence. The New Duntrot Plan has allowed foreign corporations to place factories in the free economic zones that where designated in 2010. Recently, the manufacturing and the heavy industry sectors have increased significantly in size, but environmental regulations have made the increase rather small.

Culture

Traditional Montesardi culture originated largely from Azantium culture, with some minor inclusions of Fillician culture. As Armoniary is deeply embedded into the Montesardi cultural heritage, the society bases itself off of the Commandments of Harmony, various structures built in honour of each individual virtue. Exogenous cultural attributes have been incorporated into Montesardi Culture.

The numerous wars and civil conflicts that occurred at the end of the 19th and first decades of the 20th century marked an age of new ideas, noticeably in the fields of literacy and philosophy. A large-scale secularisation was embedded into the culture of many institutions, noticeably universities. The so-called Villanova Movement brought large figure-heads into the cultural aspect.

Literature

Montesardi literature first began with heavy Fillician influences, almost completely adopting the Fillician language as a whole. Decades later, the Neo-Azantine revival influenced deeply Montesardi literature, with Montesardi literature transitioning from Fillician to the archaic Azantine. Some of the frist Montesardi writers were deeply inspired by the works of Sazrcotres di Azaciux, but most works from the revival era were either destroyed in wars or lost due during the years.

Modern era literature found its course after the end of the Violet Revolution, noted poet and author, Quoted Prose Yandarios, and many other Montesardi authors began what would be regarded as the golden era of Montesardi literature. The social situation at the time influenced deeply worded and dramatic works of literature, others dystopian genres, much like the human author Felipe Dorton. The late ages of the Modern Era and censorship by the Fillyponté regime eventually encouraged that the authors flee to many nations, like Fillicia and Lykosia, amongst other countries in Borealia.

Visual Arts

Montesardi artistic expression evolved primarily from post-revolutionary elements and the Capitalist Era's heavily influenced the movement. By the mid 1950s, human artists Lucrezio Monticelli and Alana Bertribi; alongside pony artist, Perriwinkle D'Claro helped assist and expand Montesardi painting and architecture into the Northern Borealia. Periwinkle held a much more significant role in the expansion, as her artworks are displayed in the National Palace of Fine Arts in Trotskivna.

Montesardi architecture is heavily inspired of Neo-Classical and Gothic elements. Both are mixed, forming the so called "Montesardi Style", even though the term is ever changing.
