The Union is most recognisable perhaps for their more socially-liberal policies of which the population enjoys heavily. Some of these include the complete absense of Drug-Laws, the Legalization of Prostitution, the Legalization of Gambling, and the socially relaxed laws regarding Public Nudity. Although some acts are not encouraged, and although the government does not endorse the use of these relaxed laws nessasarily, the people have been given right to them. In the meantime, the eductaion system has been designed carefully to cater for a mix of [[Wikipedia:Social_engineering_%28political_science%29|social engineering]], and actual information.

The <b>Unione of Capitalizt States of Austar Union</b>, also referred to in short form as the Unione, Unione of Capitalizt States, the Union, or even Austar Union, is a country mostly located on a continent which resembles very closely, [[Wikipedia:Europe|Europe]], except for its external territories of D'na Apollo on [[The_Planet_Mercury|Mercury]], and Austarian Mars on [[The Planet Mars]]. It encompasses states which geographically emulate the states of [[Wikipedia:Germany|Germany]], [[Wikipedia:Austria|Austria]], [[Wikipedia:Poland|Poland]], and the [[Wikipedia:Czech_Republic|Czech Republic]], and is also geographically 'close' to [[Knootoss]]. The Austar Union is a [[Wikipedia:Corporate_Police_State|Corporate Police State]], with its capital in Anatoba City. It consists of four states, and two external territories also known as 'Unione Administrative Regions'.

Culture wise, the nation is a multicultural society, with Humans maintaining a dominance amongst society's rank, but still maintaining a peaceful inclusion of many non-humans. Economically, [[Indigo Blue]] is the supporter of such concepts as the [[Wikipedia:Free_Market|Free Market]] and thus has adopted a policy of great [[Wikipedia:Economic_liberalism|Economic Liberalism]]. He also has a heavy belief in the power of the [[Wikipedia:Corporation|Corporation]], and its role in [[Wikipedia:Economics|Economics]]. Nationally, the [[Austar Union]] is a strong market leader in the globe, and has emerged stronger than those such as the political and economical giants of [[Menelmacar]], and [[Knootoss]]. Generally speaking, the nation considers itself to be a part of the [[Western world]]

Having been formed initially as a [[democracy]] and then forming into what it is today through a series of [[Wikipedia:Coup|coups]], citizens of the Austar Union live mostly in a security-conscious environment, with [[Wikipedia:Defense_%28military%29|Defense]] and [[Wikipedia:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_and_order_%28politics%29|Law & Order]] being the government's two main priorities. Commerce follows closely in third place, which represents the government's encouragement of [[Wikipedia:Capitalism|free enterprise]]. Austarians by nature are very entrepreneurial. As a result, its citizens enjoy a robust and powerful economy.

Consisting of the Earth Territories of Germany, Austria, Poland, and the Czech Republic, the Austar Union does not by all means represent these nations. But rather over perhaps millions of years, an exact duplicate of these lands were formed on which the Austarians had settled. Largely decentralized over the nation, the population as a result is spread accross the nation in a fairly even manner. Because the number of Austarian citizens recorded is so high however, the best definition for the Austar Union and its cities, would be a single [[Wikipedia:Agglomeration|Agglomeration]], with its base being centralized within [[Anatoba City]]. Urban spawl has been limited in the very south in the meantime, where the nation is guarded by a small mountain range. To the north, west, and east, it has been known to be lowlands, and has been known to be prone to flooding - the proper reason why the government has invested heavily in shore protection over the past hundred years.

The nation is rich in natural resource, which includes several minor mines in the south, but also including large iron deposits in the west, and access to large oil reserves in the far south-east. There are also notably several large drilling facilities in the [[Wikipedia:North_Sea|North Sea]], and the [[Wikipedia:Baltic_Sea|Baltic Sea]] also.
+

Unfortunately, due to the result of such a high-density situation among a large urban sprawl, much of the land has been rendered useless in the means of farming crops - a reason why much of the nation actually imports its food requirements from regional partners.

To put it simply, the Unione of Capitalizt States of Austar Union can be likened to an [[Wikipedia:Enlightened_absolutism|enlightened dictatorship]]. All government offices branch off from that of the [[Wikipedia:Secretary_General|Secretary-General]], and his Ministers behave more like Advisors with a slight degree of [[Wikipedia:Autonomy|autonomy]]. The seat of government within the Austar Union is located at the National Statehouse, Anatoba City.

The Austar Union has a temperate marine climate with cool summers and mild winters. The weather has a tendency to be rainy, humid and cloudy. In one month of the year, it has been called [[Summer's June]] because it is well known that the area warms up particularly in that month. In that month, Austarians have been known to adopt the beach as much of their national culture.

The [[Wikipedia:Secretary_General|Secretary-General]] and his most senior staff are officially protected by the Austarian Secret Service.

=== Environmental Issues ===
+
=== External Territories ===
  
−
There are only a few environmental issues which are reasonably threatening at the moment. To the east in particular, the country suffers from large amounts of air pollusion, from the large industrial network which powers much of the nation's economy. Wind tends to blow some amounts of Acid Rain to the south from there, and local fisheries are dwindelling in both the North and Baltic Seas. Water Pollution is somewhat of a problem in these areas, only again from the industrial sector to the east.
+
The Unione of Capitalizt States is made up of four states, and currently two external territories. The head of each state is appropriately named '[[Wikipedia:Governor|Governor]]', whilst the head of each territory is titled '[[Wikipedia:Administrator_of_the_Government|Administrator]]'. The following is a list of external territories owned by the Austar Union, along with their relevant Administrator. Each of the Austar Union's territories are officially known as a Unione Administrative Region, or U.A.R. for short.
  
−
== Culture ==
+
Each Governor or Administrator is directly answerable to the Secretary-General himself, but otherwise enjoys some [[Wikipedia:Autonomy|autonomy]] in making some of the more non-vital domestic decisions, like his Ministers.
−
=== Race and Ethnicity ===
+
−
Based on a solid foundation of the Human race, much of the populous comes from a European background. Having pulled a large amount of immigrants within the nation's early history, although most of the Human populous comes from an [[Wikipedia:Anglo|Anglo]] heritage, there have been a variety of strong influences from the Italian, German, and Spanish sects. In the meantime, the nation now is home to over three thousand different cultures and races, including a smaller minority of [[Non-Human]] types. From elven to dwarf, and then furthermore into the human foundation, the Austar Union is home to almost four billion individuals. From a basic perspective, the Austar Union might be considered to be within the [[Wikipedia:Anglosphere|Anglosphere]] group of nations, and is most comparable to this somewhat exclusive group.

Using history as an example only, the [[Austar Union]] is more famous for their great economists and soldiers than anything. Traditionally fierce capitalists, much of the modern classic traditionals have actually been based on the Union's foundation, which dates back to the days of swordsmen and cavalry on horses. During these days, it has been well known for the Union to be in an almost consistant state of warfare, whereby between games of crocket it was not abnormal to have a duel between two warring factions. Usually however, with consideration of the people's capitalistic nature, it would be the settlement of a feud between two powerful families, over the contents of an estate which may have existed. From this time, many traditional extras have been added to the Union, including many which Austarians are even aware of. Some of these include the following.
+
  
−
 
+
* Austarian Mars - Harek Trujillio
−
 
+
−
* Assistants are always seated to the right of their 'masters', because it was considered that a man's sword would be free to withdraw without fear of accident.
+
−
 
+
−
* Traditional dress uniforms have a sword included, alongside its usual 'over-decoration'.
+
−
 
+
−
* Older Contracts have included the text in them, ''[[By the Rule of Musket]]'' - although much of this was phased out over time.
+
−
 
+
−
* A sign of a diplomatic partnership is traditionally in the form of a pure silver blade, with '[[Austar Union]]' encrypted on one side, and the other nation's name encrypted on the other. Representing that both were aligned by the blade, the handle usually contains some form of message regarding their partnership.
+
−
 
+
−
 
+

+
−
Since these times, several influencial families have evolved into modern-day politics, including those in control of the [[Von Hanskoff]] estate. The development and eternal feuding of some individuals have led to the rise of several infamous [[Wikipedia:Secret_Society|secret societies]], including the much shrouded existance of the [[Black Webbed]]. This organisation's existance is still debated today, and many conspiracy theories have arised regarding its existance and social influence abroad, perhaps outside of the Union's own borders.
+
−
 
+
−
In the meantime, as time and history passed, and as influences from the market agendas of those such as [[Knootoss]], Austarians are now typically known only for their economic value. Some are respected as valuable members of society, whether they be in the form of an artist, lawyer, doctor and whatnot, however social value is traditionally now, considered the same as influence and monetary value. Within the Union, it is understood by the actual greats of society that power and influence does equal monetary worth, leading to a rise of belief that corruption may be rampant within the Union. Now primarily an economic state, the [[Austar Union]] is one of the leading regarding an individual's personal wealth.

=== Religion ===
+
−
Within the early years of the Union, [[Wikipedia:Christianity|Christianity]] had been made the nation's official religion, with having some 98% of the population declaring themselves '[[Wikipedia:Born_again|Born Again]]'. Many of the Christian sects which existed inside the borders of the [[Austar Union]], had declared themselves to be [[Wikipedia:Pentecostalism|Pentecostal]]. This religion played a major role in shaping the society of the days, however much of it has given rise to a large growth of [[Wikipedia:Secularism|secularism]]. There are some still very visible remains of the previous influence of religion however, especially in the thinking-ways of most Austarians. Each (whilst declaring themselves to be athiest), tend to hold a similar view to the traditional social values which are debated even today.

== History ==
+
−
Unfortunately, historians are still researching the early portions of the Austar Union - since there had believed to be a great burning of books several hundred years ago. Much of the history remains at speculation, however this section will be updated as more of the remaining books are recovered.

+
−
== Political System ==
+
−
=== General Structure ===
+
−
Adopted by the [[Blue Administration]], the Political System of the [[Austar Union]] is relatively simple. There is no written [[Wikipedia:Constitution|constitution]] within the Union, ever since the documentation from the [[wikipedia:Democratic|democratic]] system has been undebatably thrown out. However, by choice of rule, [[Indigo Blue]] is a [[Wikipedia:benevolent dictator|benevolent dictator]], focusing his attention toward areas such as Commerce, Education, and Defense more than anything else. He is a strong believer in the privatization of national industries, and is a strong believer in the [[Wikipedia:laissez-faire|laissez-faire]] system of economics. So far, this internal policy has proven successful to the nation's economy. To some, [[Indigo Blue]] might be considered a strange hybrid between [[Wikipedia:libertarian|libertarian]] and [[Wikipedia:dictator|dictator]]. In the meantime, to look after each general department, the administration employees [[Wikipedia:Director|Directors]], rather than Ministers. They are directly answerable to [[Indigo Blue|Indigo]], but are free to develop their portfolios almost [[Wikipedia:Autocratic|autocratically]].

−

=== Media ===

−
Probably different to most systems of [[wikipedia:Dictatorship|Dictatorship]], [[Indigo Blue]] has a strong belief in the [[Wikipedia:Freedom of the Press|Freedom of the Press]]. However, if one is clever enough, he will trace that the source of most Press companies actually come from the state-sponsered [[Austarian Broadcasting Corporation]], or [[ABC]] for short. One doesnt need half a brain to realise that much of the news sources within the [[Austar Union]] are biased toward the leader, and to his actions thereafter.

The Unione of Capitalizt States of Austar Union, also referred to in short form as the Unione, Unione of Capitalizt States, the Union, or even Austar Union, is a country mostly located on a continent which resembles very closely, Europe, except for its external territories of D'na Apollo on Mercury, and Austarian Mars on The Planet Mars. It encompasses states which geographically emulate the states of Germany, Austria, Poland, and the Czech Republic, and is also geographically 'close' to Knootoss. The Austar Union is a Corporate Police State, with its capital in Anatoba City. It consists of four states, and two external territories also known as 'Unione Administrative Regions'.

Having been formed initially as a democracy and then forming into what it is today through a series of coups, citizens of the Austar Union live mostly in a security-conscious environment, with Defense and Law & Order being the government's two main priorities. Commerce follows closely in third place, which represents the government's encouragement of free enterprise. Austarians by nature are very entrepreneurial. As a result, its citizens enjoy a robust and powerful economy.


Government

To put it simply, the Unione of Capitalizt States of Austar Union can be likened to an enlightened dictatorship. All government offices branch off from that of the Secretary-General, and his Ministers behave more like Advisors with a slight degree of autonomy. The seat of government within the Austar Union is located at the National Statehouse, Anatoba City.

Office of the Secretary-General

Generally, the Secretary-General will not concern himself with minor issues of the state, rather saving his time for more pressing matters such as working closely with the Department of Foriegn Affairs and Trade, and the Department of Justice which includes aspects from the Unione's court system to its Federal Police.

He is also involved with such affairs pertaining to Defense and the Economy, and is in close liazon with the various Administrators who manage the Austar Union's external territories. Also as the nation's head, the Secretary-General is also the Commander-in-Chief to the Austarian Defense Force, which includes (but is not exclusive to) the Austarian Navy, Army, Aerospace Force, Austarian Special Forces, and Austarian Coast Guard respectively.

The Secretary-General and his most senior staff are officially protected by the Austarian Secret Service.

External Territories

The Unione of Capitalizt States is made up of four states, and currently two external territories. The head of each state is appropriately named 'Governor', whilst the head of each territory is titled 'Administrator'. The following is a list of external territories owned by the Austar Union, along with their relevant Administrator. Each of the Austar Union's territories are officially known as a Unione Administrative Region, or U.A.R. for short.

Each Governor or Administrator is directly answerable to the Secretary-General himself, but otherwise enjoys some autonomy in making some of the more non-vital domestic decisions, like his Ministers.
