History

The Country that came to be known as Smithanian has had a long and fuedal history, each Republic formerly being a Duchy in the Old Kingdom. Steve Smith was a revolutionary in the Rebel Faction Group and eventually became leader when his home Duchy got independence after hos old freind Emperor Alexander I funneled funds from The Empire of Camozayo to the Smithanian Rebels to eliminate the rival kingdom. After Smithania's establishment, Steve Smith became interm President, which evenutally lead him to establish the first Democracy the region had seen.

However, after an attack by the Nationstate Krupponia, Smithania became an Armed Republic having its priority become defence, the concept of Democracy was lost as defence became very important. Soon after withdrawing frim Alpha Centuari, Smithania became a Federation, establishing the Republics you see today. Smithania kept slipping closer and closer to Socialism as Chairman Smith observed the suffering of the lower class, forcing his to disband The Federation of Smithania and establish today's People's Federation of Smithania

After becoming a USSR state, Smithania and a few other nations developed Smithanianism into today's concept, and after the USSR was engulfed in undesired Communism, Smithania withdrew to its own region where it sits today. Smithania continues to hold a postion in strong economics and civil rights, while caring for the nation's less fortunate.

Culture

The nation and all its Republics always seemed to have a knack for socialism, since each duchy's citizens began seeing their families and neighbours as more important than money. Most citizens seem to have a desire to own pocessions more than money, therefore it was no surprise that there was minimal protest when the credit system was established.

Religion is generally kept inside Church, Synagouge, Temple or Mosque walls, all religions have been taught to respect each other and to keep their teachings out of the goverment.

Society

Because of the nation's advancement in education and social justice, the nation has hardly any crime. The nation doesen't have many restrictions on social interraction as most citizens are responsible enough to watch violent movies or play violent video games without thinking its real.

Music is uncensored, Smithanians know that cursing and swearing, when used out of context is not a big deal, and the message delivered by music is to be determained by its listeners not its opponets.

Relgion is obligated by law to keep itself concealed from other people unless asked to be accessed, the internet has a broad base of information on each religion. Parents cannot force a child to accept any relgion by law.

Politics

The People's Federation of Smithania is a founding member of the now defunct Smithanian Pact.

The People's Federation of Smithania is the founder of the now defunct Smithanian Union and its government.
