| − | '''Fortuna''' (ˈfôrCHunə), also known as the ''' | + | '''Fortuna''' (ˈfôrCHunə), also known as the '''United Three States of Fortuna''', is a unitary totalitarian dictatorship island nation. The nation is located in the [[Spes Region]] off the East coast of Pax-Draconia, South of Isklevyu, and North of the Free Pacific States. The nation consists of the Fortunan Archipelago and the Medium Islands, covering an area of 269,229 km2 (103,950 sq mi). The three largest islands (Emili, Toscani, and Ancona) consist of much of Fortuna's land area. The climate of Fortuna is predominantly temperate with high environmental protection. Compared to many nations on Urth, the population of Fortuna is quite moderate with a population of 23,908,781 with its largest city, Imperial Fortunan City, holding up to 6.8 million persons. Due to Fortuna's small size, overcrowding is slowly becoming a problem for the small nation. |

The newly united islands became known as the Empire of Fortuna which brought a golden age through trade and conquest of surrounding islands. In 1824 the nation became divided in war known as the Division War. This division split the nation brought of three new nations known as Emili, Toscani, and Ancona which brought a period of isolation that lasted between the 1800s to the early 1900s. In the early 1970s, the wanting of unification was high, leading to riots and rebellions taking place over the three nations. In 1996, the nation of Emili fell under control of the Emili Unitary Party with the election of Tristan Lytle as prime minister. This soon led to the annexation of Ancona in 1998 and Toscani in 1999 by Emili. On March 11, 1999, the islands were fully united under one government. Soon after Tristan Lytle declared himself as absolute ruler of the nation. This led to another conflict between those allied with Lytle, known as the United People of Fortuna, and those against, known as the Free Republic of Fortuna. In 2002, the final soldiers of the FRF were pushed out of the island chain and the newly made government declared the United Three States of Fortuna. In 2012, the Fortunan government allowed for the opening of ports and airports to the international population. Then in 2016, Fortuna successfully annexed the Medium Islands, growing Fortuna's border and strengthening their grip on the Pacific coast of Yasteria. |

The nation holds a large, yet quite outdated, military force, taking up 10% of the nation's GDP, used for self-defense and law enforcing. Due to the recent removal of isolation, the nation's economy has slowly been on the rise giving Fortuna a GDP of $304.127 billion. The economy has recently been driven by the exportation of agricultural, fishing, and technology products. |

This also led to the name of the island chain itself; the Fortunan Archipelago. In 2002, Tristan Lytle declared the former three island nations as states of Fortuna, becoming known as the Three States. This then led to the current name that was given to the nation of Fortuna. |

| + | On February 26, 1958, the islands of Emili and Ancona declared a joint effort to support the rebel forces within Toscani against the Caliphate-leaning government and the elimination of Pax sympathizers within their own borders. However, the Toscani regime made their first move by invading the coast of Emili and overrunning Emili troops with ease. By May 6, Toscani forces were successful in taking control of the Emili capital of Destino. Although still unknown to this day, it is presumed that the regime was receiving support from the Pax Caliphate. | ||

This gives him and the party full control of the government, military, and economy of Fortuna. It is also requires for absolute obedience of all Fortunan citizens to Lytle. Through propaganda, manipulation, fear, and brainwashing, a majority of the population of Fortuna are willing to follow Lytle, creating a personality cult based around him and many see him as a god figure. Between 2002 and 2012 the full country was closed from the outside, preventing the free movement in and out of Fortuna. There are also high restrictions found in Fortuna including on freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and also low civil rights and political freedom. |

The Head is the current ruler of Fortuna and is mostly known as High Commander. The Head has absolute power until their death and is replaced by the person of their choice. No one is able to question him and is not forbidden from anything. With his power he is allowed to veto any legislation or bills brought up by the House only allowing anything that he agrees with. The Head also has full control of the military and is able to give his own commands without question. The Head can also choose who would be their second command, known as Commander. If the Head either resigns or dies, the Commander then takes their place. The Commander is also allowed to hold a seat in the Elite Chamber if the Head allows. The current Head, High Commander Tristan Lytle, has held this position ever since the unification of Fortuna till present day. The current Commander is Ferdinand Romano. | The Head is the current ruler of Fortuna and is mostly known as High Commander.

| − | The House is the legislative branch of Fortuna. Within the House there are two different groups; the Elite Chamber and the Common Chamber. The Common Chamber consists of 48 seats, 16 representatives for each state. Each state party also has three leaders who are chosen from the representatives by each party. Every representative is chosen during the nomination period where the citizens of each state nominate up to 24 possible candidates. From these nominees the leaders of the state party choose the 16 they want as their representative. Each representative in the Common each serve a term of 6 years until the next election, representatives can also serve up to three terms. If a representative either resigns, gets removed by the Head, or dies during their term, they would then be replaced by someone chosen by the leaders of that state party. In the Elite Chamber there are 9 seats and consists of only those chosen by the Head. Elites are able to serve until their death, their resignation, or removal by the Head. Each Elite member is a head of a specific department, each department focusing on a specific area. Laws usually start out in the Common Chamber. If there is a majority vote of 3/4th then the bill is passed to the Law Chamber to be approved. Once approved it moves on to the Elite Chamber. If there is a majority vote of 2/3rd then the bill is made into law. However the bill may be vetoed by the Head and must return to the Elite Chamber to be revised or removed. | + | The House is the legislative branch of Fortuna which is run by only one party; the Unitary Nationalist Party.

The Judicial branch is the third branch in the government and helps interpret the law and the Fortunate Constitution and is run by the Law Chamber. The Law Chamber consists of 9 seats and are chosen by the Elite Chamber and the Head. This causes for the Judicial branch to have much corruption on the inside. It is seen by many as a puppet to allow the Elite Chamber to achieve their own goals since the Judicial Branch has no power over what the Elite Chamber of the Head says. They are allowed to approve of bills that was passed by the Common Chamber. If these bills are approved by the Law Chamber then its passed to the Elite Chamber to be finally passed into law. | The Judicial branch is the third branch in the government and helps interpret the law and the Fortunate Constitution and is run by the Law Chamber.

===Foreign Policy=== | ===Foreign Policy=== | ||
| + | Historically Fortuna has always held a isolated and neutral stance concerning foreign affairs. However, since the reopening of borders in 2012, Fortuna has recently taken a larger interest in foreign policies. This includes diplomatic relations and exchange of embassies and ambassadors with multiple nations across Urth. Fortuna holds close relations with the [[Veridian Union]] and [[Baykalia]], which includes agreements ranging from trade to military agreements. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Concerning Fortuna's neighbors, relations are either tense or non-existent. This is due to both cultural, government, and religious differences. For example relations between Fortuna and the Free Pacific States only consist of national recognition, however due to government differences Fortuna is not very fond of their southern neighbor. The same can also be said for the Pax-Caliphate to the east and Eridani Theta to the north. Following the death of Eridani Theta's former leader though, relations between the two island nations have softened. | ||

Military service has always been compulsory for all citizens above the age of 17. Men are required to serve at least 36 months in any branch and women are required to serve at least 30 months in any branch with a few exceptions. As of 2015, the Fortunan military consisted of 1,000,000 personnel on active duty, with 250,000 serving more than 36 months, and with around 6,000,000 personnel in reserve as anyone fit to fight can be drafted in if in time of crisis. Fortunan military spending takes up 10% of the national GDP, making it the main focus of the government. Even with high spending, the Fortunan military is considered outdated compared to the rest of Urth. |
==Geography== | ==Geography== | ||
| − | Fortuna is an archipelago consisting of sixteen islands off the Pacific Coast of East [[Yasteria]].The islands are found closely together forming a circular-like pattern and are located around 27°N and 113° E, just above the Tropic of Karakta. The circular archipelago can be found East of Pax-Draconia, Northeast of Codex Pontus and the Free Pacific States, South of Isklevyu, and Southwest of Eridani Theta. The country is mainly made up of the islands of Emili, Toscani, and Ancona. Including the few islands found in between them and the Medium Islands, they make up what is known as the Fortunan Archipelago. | + | Fortuna is an archipelago consisting of sixteen islands off the Pacific Coast of East [[Yasteria]].The islands are found closely together forming a circular-like pattern and are located around 27°N and 113° E, just above the Tropic of Karakta.

| − | The land area of Fortuna is | + | The land area of Fortuna is 269,229 km2 (103,950 sq mi), making it one of the smaller nations found on Urth. A large percentage of Fortuna are covered in forests and mountains, making much of the land area unsuitable for agricultural, industrial, or residential use. This causes much of the population of Fortuna to locate themselves along the coast, leading to high population densities of 212/km2 (5,144.5/sq mi), making it one of the most dense nations on Urth. |
Due to its location, Fortuna consists of volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. The way the islands are formed helps create a barrier against tsunamis for those on the inside of the circle. This is one of the reasons why much of the population are found in the inner circle of the archipelago. Earthquakes are still a problem, ranging from small quakes up to 9.0-magnitude earthquakes, an example includes the 1923 earthquake killing nearly 100,000 people. Fortuna also consists of three active volcanoes, two of which are located on the island of Toscani. There has been steps taken to monitor earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis to help reduce chances of death, but this doesn't prevent Fortuna from having one of the highest natural disasters. | Due to its location, Fortuna consists of volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis.

The population has been a slow ascent until the early 1900s when immigration rose quickly due to the islands declaring the removal of isolation. The immigration slowly declined a near halt in the late 1970s due to conflict that took place between the 1970s to the 2000s. Birthrate has also been slow with a fertility rate of 1.12 children per woman in 2000. That number has risen to a fertility rate of 1.4 in 2015 and expected to rise to 1.8 in 2020. | The population has been a slow ascent until the early 1900s when immigration rose quickly due to the islands declaring the removal of isolation.

Many of them were immigrants from northern [[Yasteria]] who arrived to the islands in the 1600s. |
