The Minston Republics, commonly known as Minston, and sometimes the Republics, are a sovereign nation located on the continent of Minstos. It is surrounded to the east by the Ithis Ocean and to the west by the Anoic Ocean. 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.

Tri-Kingdom Era

The merge of the Tri-Kingdom into the Minston Kingdom in 500 was the birth of the UnTerra Order, a national movement. The era of small kingdoms was coming to an end and being replaced by a continent of large republics and empires, and was causing stability among the powers.

Minstonia Era

After forming from Minston, the Varian Empire, and Obornia in the 900s, Minstonia became one of the major powers of the world. With cast colonies and large amounts of land in northern Minstos. The 10th century was the beginning of the expansion panic as people realize they needed to grab any land they could and gain in strength before the rivals. In 967AD, the Illiate Republics were worried by the newly formed Pauria to the north, which was returning to a militaristic state, and requested that Minstonia absorb them. Minstonia agreed, so long as they help the Vichsti Republic invade Torrovn and their holy city.

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 Norvein

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.

Continental Wars

The Continental War era began at the start of the Minston-Torrovn War where the last secondary powers were absorbed. This began a period that lasted between the 10th and 15th centuries in which the remaining great powers and their client states fought over control over the continent.

Industrialization

Civil War

In 1548, two rebel groups representing Vichsti and Warjan gained control of south and eastern Minstos and seceded from the Minston Republics forming two nations. The Republics 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 each Republic would have representation and more autonomy.

Grand War

Further information: Grand War

Post-War

After the Grand War, industry was thriving in Minston, but the road infrastructure was still poor. Prime Senator Coppenbauld introduced the 'Interway and General Infrastructure Act of 1630' in February, and although criticisms arouse of the practicability of the Interway, the Theatre passed it in April. Construction of the new roads, rail lines, air docks, and the Interway created thousands of jobs for the Minston people. The Interway was a large road that would follow the path of the Continental Web without stopping through towns and cities, allowing for long distance travel to become much faster.

Family Structure

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.
