The Minston Republics, commonly known as Minston are a sovereign nation located on the continent of Minstos. The 83 contiguous provinces take the entire continent of Minstos under 12 republics. Another 6 contiguous provinces are in northern Norvien under the Kalrado Republic. The Alkyon Republic is an archipelago in the western Ithis Ocean and a small province on the coast of eastern Arthane, surrounded by Aryiss.

Unification

Annexation of the Illiat Republics

The 11th century was a time for global economic expansion with Minstonia beginning to take the top position in world affairs. With Pauria in the north beginning to return to a militaristic state, the Illiat Republics realized that they would try to retrieve the provinces that the Illiat had added to the Republics centuries before.

In 1003ad, the Illiat Republics appealed to Minstonia requesting protection from the Paurians by annexing them. Minstonia agreed only on the condition that the majority of the Illiat forces would help the Vichsti invade Torrovn so Minstonia could indirectly become involved in the conflict without declaring war.

The North-Minston War of Torrovian Eradication ended in 1014 with Torrovn being split between Illiat and Vichsti. The next two years consisted of Minstonia and Illiat working on an integration agreement which concluded successfully. By 1016ad, Minstonia was now four times the size it was only 200 years prior.

Problems in Norvien

In a hope to gain more land for themselves, Terruban and the colonists in Minstonian colonies who wanted to be independent fought against Minstonia to grab more land for themselves.

Civil War

In 1548, two rebel groups representing Vichsti and Warjan gained control of south and eastern Minstos and seceded from the Minston Federation forming two nations. The Federation did not recognize this independence and went in to defeat the rebel uprising. The rebel support grew with rebels rising in Pauria, leading to an all out assault by the rebel factions on the central government in Doveres. The surrender of the Minston government led to the signing of a treaty stating that the countries would rejoin Minston, but would be divided into administrative districts known as Republics, each with representation and more autonomy.

Government and politics

The government is composed of three divisions:

• The Crown: Holds the most power. Has final say over other divisions.
• The Council: A council of thirteen representitives, each representing a province.
• The Theatre: A large group of people representing provinces. The amount of representatives are based on population.

Parties and Elections

Federal Party- focuses on controlling the population. Has bits of a monarchy and fascism.

Republican Party- trying to move the Federation to be more a Republic. Wants a more democratic system.

Socialist Party- for the people, focusing on social issues and rights. Extremists involved in social terrorism.

The three political parties have been fighting for control of the government since the late AD1300s. Before then, Minston was still ruled completely by a monarchy. A new government was established in 1367, still having the crown hold most of the power, but adding two “democratic” systems below it. The systems had a large amount of control in the government, but can be overruled by the king/queen. Throughout the years, legislation was passed limiting the monarch power.
