Nation/Acadeshia

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Acadeshia, | >ʌkʌdɛʃɪʌ< |, formally Community of Acadeshia, is a sovereign nation, located on the Prince Edward Islands. The name Acadeshia is derived from the word Academia, a general term for the whole of higher education and academic research. It shares sea borders with South Africa to the north west.

History

Acadeshia was founded on April 9 AD 2015. Soon after, on April 10 AD 2015, the House of Commons elected Unue Masuo as the Royal Sovereign of the country.

Geography and geology

The island group is about 955km south-east of Port Elizabeth in mainland South Africa. Marion Island, the larger of the two, is 25.03km long and 16.65km wide with an area of 290km² and a coastline of some 72km, most of which is high cliffs. The highest point on Marion Island is Mascarin Peak (formerly State President Swart Peak), reaching 1242m above sea level. Boot Rock is about 150m off the northern coast.

Prince Edward Island is much smaller—only about 45km², 10.23km long and 6.57km wide—and lies some 12km to the north-east of Marion Island. At the van Zinderen Bakker[1] Peak north-west of the center, it reaches a height of 672m.[2] There are a few offshore rocks along the northern coast, like Ship Rock 100m, north of northernmost point and Ross Rocks 500m, from the shore).

Both islands are of volcanic origin. Marion Island is one of the peaks of a large underwater shield volcano that rises some 5000m from the sea floor to the top of Mascarin Peak. The volcano is active, with eruptions having occurred between 1980 and 2004.

Government Structure

The Acadeshian Constitution defines its government as an "Elected Constitutional Authoritative Monarchy". It elects a monarch to office in the event of the death or resignation of the previous monarch or when a motion of no confidence is passed by atleast 200 of the 401 seats in the House of Commons.
