The Federal Monarchy of Hugoland: A Proud Nation
</div>

The Federal Monarchy of Hugoland, in english, is the great powerhouse of the European Nordic nations. Hugoland is different from other Nordic nations, as the Hugolandians speak English and Latin, due to the influence of merchants from Azores Islands, the largest Hugolandian trade partner since the XI century.

Hugoland is a Federation of 10 States, lead by the Officium Chancellari (Chancellery Office), which has been controlled by the Hugolandian National Union with a large majority in the Senatus (Senate). Although the Federation is, in theory, a Monarchy, the Regina has no power.


The capital city of the Federation is Sophiapolis. This city, home to 20 million people, is also home for the Chancellari Palatium (Chancellery Palace)and the Regia (Royal Palace).


Economically the country is lead by free trade policies. The contry is open to foreign investment, specially in the areas of tourism. The Federal State has a social network side by side with private pension systems, which are quite popular in Hugoland. The Chancellari tries to keep low taxes policies, while the main industries of the country are the Automobile Manufacturing, Weapons Production and Leisure time services (Tourism, Discotheques, etc.).

Administrative order

Federal Capital

<div" class="plainlinksneverexpand">story.dallas.ap.jpg
Sophiapolis, the snow-covered Metropolis
</div>

As said above, the Federal Capital is Sophiapolis, host city of all the executive, legislative and judisdiction bodies.

Sophiapolis is also the State Capital of the Sophiapolis State.


States

State (Capital) Baccalaureu (Lago da Beata), Boscoburgo (Boscoburgo), Centru (Centru), Cognoscere (Cognoscerepolis), Domingos Sávio (Porto Sávio), Navigiu (Docas Secas), Nive (Nivepolis), Pixeburgo (Pixeburgo), Saphira (Shohre), Sophiapolis (Sophiapolis).

The States are governed by state governments, which are not elected, but appointed by the Hugolandian Federal Cancellarius, which means the Federation is nothing more than theory, since every important decision is decided in Sophiapolis, as the states do not have local parliaments.

International Affilitation

Alliance of Monarchist European States, European Union, Kalmar Union, Kalmar's United Defence Initiative, Red Cross, Stuttgart Treaty.

Frustrate their knavish tricks,

On thee our hopes we fix,

Population

Overview

The population of the Federal Monarchy of Hugoland is 431 million and growing fast. The Hugolandian population is nordic, with many Azorean traces, due to the contact with Azorean merchants, who had an huge influence in ancient Hugoland, and due to todays Azorean influence.

The Hugolandian population ethnicity can be divided in: Original Hugolandians (64%), Azorean Hugolandians (31%), 5% Other Hugolandians.

Language

The official languages in Hugoland are English and Latin. English is the dominant language, while Latin is used mainly on politics and law. English was adopted in 1330 to replace Hugolandian, the original Nordic language, as English was better to establish trade. In 1330 Hugoland was fully dependent of trade and of the sea, and all it's cities were located in the coast.

Latin was brought by the Azorians, who sucessfully established business in the city of Tructa (Sophiapolis nowadays). After a growing influence, specially in the coastline area, Latin was declared an offical language in 1625.

There are also non-official langages spoken in Hugoland. The most important is the Azorean, frequently used by the large Azorean community and very common in the Boscoburgo State. There are other less spoken languages like Arnen and other nordic languages.

Foreign Communities

The first Foreign Community in Hugoland was made of merchants from Azores Islands that settled in the coastal cities, specially Sophiapolis and Pixeburgo in the 14th century. But has the years passed, this Community was fully integrated and, thus, disappeared.

In 1991 a new horde of Azorean immigrants arrived. Thousands of supporters of HM Augustus Bonifacius (deposed as Azorean President in 1991) and Bonifacius himself came to Hugoland under the protection of the Hugolandian Government. This Azorean elite settled in Boscoburgo, which recently had an huge development.

Hugoland has also some tiny foreign communities, mainly from other Nordic nations.
