| − | '''The Republic of Megatridimensional Order''' (also known as '''The Order''') is a Republic consisting of eighteen states located on the continent of [[East Asper]], east of the [[United States of Quentin]] and north of the [[Comdantri Nortellus]]. The Republic is notable for its belief that true balance can only be attained with three parts, as opposed to the vast majority of [[Venturia]], who believe balance can be attained with two parts. It is also known for its fierce expansionist tendencies, unpredictable shifts on the individual freedom of its citizens, and uneven treatment of the tribes and countries it conquers or annexes. However, since the early 1980s when the Rationalist party took control of the nation, the Order has dealt much more evenly with those inside and outside of its borders. | + | }}The '''Azurian Isles''', also sometimes known as '''Azuria''', is a technocratic island nation located in the southwest portion of the [[Lankanata Ocean]].

In 1100 the isles were officially joined together in union under the [[Charter of Azuria]]. The country borders no other nation directly, however is located closest to the [[Comdantri Nortellus]] and [[Megatridimensional Order]], which are to the north. The Azurian Isles has a population of 11.3 million, making it the second-least populated country in the [[Venturian Union]]. Its isolationism stems from its physical distance from any mainland, however also the Isles' devotion to technology and values of distrust towards outsiders. |

| + | === Hurricane, Charter, and Governance === |
| − |
| |
| − | In 1788 citizens of [[Telembria]] revolted against the strict two-party power structure of Telembrian politics. As a condition of peace, Telembria offered the revolutionaries a ten year expatriation plan and land in what was known as the [[Telembrian Wildlands]] "and beyond" in exchange for an end to the revolution. Over 152,000 citizens accepted the offer and the Order was officially founded on January 1, 1799. The governmental structure was put in place by leaders of the revolution, and the first government officials were voted into office on October 31, 1799.
| |
| | | | |
| − | The first Megatridimensional Order city of [[Novum]] was founded on a tract of wetlands unfit for cultivation and later named the [[Crudumpascor Swamps]]. With the Telembrians to the north, [[Satan's Spire]] and the [[Trine River]] impeding exploration to the south, it was widely believed that the new citizens of the Order would revert to Telembrian rule within a decade or less. However, in 1802, [[The South Gate]] was discovered by the [[Foldsquire-Mix Expedition]] allowing the Republic to grow into the tropical and fertile region south of [[Satan's Spire]] the [[Trine River]].
| + | === Middle Period === |
| | | | |
| − | ===Expansion=== | + | === Renaissance Period === |
| | | | |
| − | Finding itself unrestricted, The Order rapidly expanded to further south. In 1835, Order settlers unknowingly extended past the borders of the [[Terronian Nation]]. However, once realized, The Republic government backed their own settlers, demanding the Terronians give up the land at fair value. The Terronians refused, and the ensuing war with the Order completely destroyed the Terronians. The genocide was internationally condemned, the first blot on the young nation's international relations. The Order moved further south in 1852, during the [[Caustium Wars]] with the [[Viscuito]]. By the end of the wars, the Order had expanded to nearly triple its previous size.
| + | === Foreign Involvement and Industrialization === |
| | | | |
| − | The rapid expansion of the Order stoked the fears of the international community, and alleged war atrocities committed by the Order cast a shadow on the reputation of the nation. As a result of [[The DuBuis Peace Conference]] in 1885, the Order came to be known as a "[[heartless warmongering soul-sucking machine]]," a title the nation embraced.
| + | === Contemporary Period === |
| | | | |
| − | In 1886, The Order expanded further during the [[Expansion Wars]], a sustained series of small battles over the course of three years.
| + | ==Government and Politics== |
| | | | |
| − | This expansion did not go over well with other countries, including [[The Protectorates of Allia]] and [[The United States of Quentin]]. They formed [[The Anti-Expansionist Alliance]], while the Order tried to defend what they saw as their right to gain territory and expand their culture to other lands. They formed the [[Righteousness Pact]] with a few other countries, including [[Bymaria]] and [[Mayberry Logan]]. In 1900, the tension finally exploded, as Bymaria, an RP nation, declared war on [[Carkhia]], a nation that was a part of the AEA. Countries from both sides declared war on each other, and [[The Great Venturian War]] had begun.
| + | The government of the Azurian Isles is based around the [[Charter of Azuria]] ratified by the six tribes and isles in 1100, however also incorporates laws and acts from the [[Tribal Agreement of 912]], the [[2005 Global Amendments]], and basic legislative acts throughout history. The Charter of Azuria establishes first that the government of the Isles should be based upon technology and the wisdom of leaders, and that while the democratic will of the people is important in eliminating corruption, the expertise of leaders should be the first priority. The first specifics established by this document include the [[National Kyoku]], the main national legislative body, and the [[Azurian Chief Executor|Chief Executor]]. The Kyoku makes all main laws for the nation, and consists of 50 individuals elected by the people. The candidates for these offices, however, are chosen based upon results from a number of tests concerning many subjects such as science, economics, governance, and technology. These candidates are then ranked based on these tests, and only the top two for each position are allowed to run. Tests are determined by the nation's [[National University of the Azurian Isles|National University]] each election period. The [[Leader of the Kyoku]] is the elected legislator who has the highest score on all the major electoral tests. Additionally, the Kyoku can declare war, raise money and taxes, command the military, (though this task is usually delegated to the Chief Executor) and act as the supreme court of the nation. |
| | | | |
| − | Fighting was fierce, and both sides had battles that seemed to give them the advantage, but after 12 years, it was clear the Order and the RP had won, being both more experienced in war and more prepared for it. Peace was made in 1912 with the [[Treaty of Fatama]], and the MTO was granted expansion rights to the west and the AEA was disbanded.
| + | The Chief Executor is also elected in this way, however there is only one Chief Executor. The Chief Executor leads the [[Azurian Hoikoana Board]], made up of five other [[Executors of the Azurian Isles|executors]], plus the Chief Executor for a total of six. This board implements the laws passed by the Kyoku, and all executors on it are elected based upon their expertise, especially in specific areas of governance. In the case of a tie on how to proceed in terms of executing laws and making executive policy, the Chief Executor decides what actions should be taken. |
| | | | |
| − | After the war, the Order expanded to the west, however in 1915, as industrialization took a hold on the country, the Order focused more on development in places already owned, and soon the nation became a world financial powerhouse, as well as an industrial one.
| + | Though the individual isles of the Azurian Isles are called sovereign isles and tribes, they have little autonomy. The one main right the isles have is the right to verify their allegiance to the union every 75 years, meaning that they may secede after any 75 year period if they do not like the direction of the Azurian national government or its policies. Additionally, the individual isles may convene sovereign assemblies to raise taxes or make decisions on smaller issues such as community trash collection and recreational areas. Overall though, the national government handles most issues in the nation, including education, recreation, war, politics, the environment, labor laws, commerce, social services and laws, etc. |
| | | | |
| − | In the early 1920's, the former enemies of the Order in the Great Venturian War had recovered from the war, and now looked to halt the Order from any further expansion, and some nations had the goal of usurping the Order from its spot as a world powerhouse. A new alliance formed to challenge the RP, called [[The Southern Coastal Alliance]]. Tensions started to rise when countries like Allia and the USQ placed numerous amounts of soldiers on the border, and the Order reciprocated, as well as increasing military production. Added to this tension was the fact that around this time a new kind of weapon, an atomic bomb, was being developed in countries such as the Order, USQ, and Allia. The event that really pushed the situation over the top was when a border confrontation between Allians and the Order Guard escalated, and resulted in the death of 8 people. In 1925, the SOCA declared war on the RP, starting [[The Greater Venturian War]].

| − | In the beginning it seemed that the Order had a huge advantage, winning multiple battles and pushing back the enemy. However, in 1926, the USQ entered the war on the side of the SOCA, and momentum turned against the Order. After fierce fighting for 6 years, in 1931 the Order finished work on an atomic bomb, and decided to drop it on [[Docneighland]]. Hundreds of thousands of people were killed, and although the SOCA was shocked, the beginning of the end had come for the Order. After the incident, countries previously allied with the Order declared war on them, and soon almost all of the Republic was in SOCA hands. So, in 1935 the [[Treaty of Fort McCarthy]] ended the war, with the Order gaining land, but being banned from expansion for 5 years, and having tariffs placed against them.

| − | | |
| − | In 1940, after the 5 year expansion restriction had ended, the Order began [[The Southern March of the Republic]]. In four short years, the Order displaced or assimilated thirteen small to medium tribes living in what is now the state of [[Mordant]]. In 1944, the Megatrine government halted expansion, leaving the [[Comdantri Nortellus]] civilization to their south, but only after eliminating the last of any goodwill the nation enjoyed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | As a result of the end of the March, internal tension grew between three factions: those advocating further expansion, those demanding an end to expansion, and those wishing to continue to expand but without human rights violations.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In 1944, the nation erupted into The [[Megatridimensional Civil War]] between the [[Ascendancy]], [[Rationalists]] and the [[Universal Rights Defense Front]] (URDF). The Ascendancy gained control over the government and abruptly closed borders during the [[1966 Foreign Purge]]. The nation expelled all foreigners and essentially cut itself off from contact with the rest of Venturia. The Rationalists ultimately won the war, the URDF metamorphosed from militant outlaws into a major political party, and the Ascendancy was scattered.

| − | Megatrine remained dark until it re-opened its borders for the [[Megatridimensional Economic Summit of 1983]]. In an effort to reintegrate itself into Venturia, the Republic offered nations a free-trade agreement and [[Digital Megaprocesser Microchip Technology]] (DMMT), a highly advanced computer processing chip. Six nations attended, and two, [[Comdantri Nortellus]] and [[The United States of Quentin]] signed the free trade agreement. Shortly after the guests arrived, fourteen people were killed and seven others injured in the [[Frostoria Massacre]], conducted by remnants of the Ascendancy. [[GTNEC of the USQ]] [[Steve Boissont]] was among the wounded. The Summit paused but resumed two days later. Only the [[Comdantri Nortellus]] delegation left after the shooting, though they did return days later to sign the agreement.

| |
| − | [[File:Megatri Government Structure.png|thumb|left|350px|The Megatridimensional Order Government Structure]] | |
| − | The Megatridimensional Order Government structure is a republic structure with legislative, judicial and executive functions meant to strike balance and encourage dealmaking. Proponents contend that the government operates as designed, citing the law making/amending processes and the ability to overcome any single body should that body "deviate from the will of the people." Critics maintain that the Prime Minister, by virtue of control of the Ministry of Psychology and Order Guards, is overly powerful, while other critics claim the Presidium, with control of the Military, has the advantage.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Prime Minister===
| |
| − | The [[Prime Minister]] (or '''PM''') of the Republic of Megatridimensional Order serves at the top of the Megatridimensional Order government. The PM has the responsibility to approve or veto any legislation, and is in charge of conducting all foreign relations. He may sign treaties and declare war, though he must negotiate with the Presidium, which oversees the Megatridimensional Order military, on how the treaty or war is to be conducted. | |
| − | | |
| − | The PM also has sole control over the Ministry of Psychology and subsequently, control of the Order Guard. The PM is voted into office on a simple majority of Megatridimensional citizens.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Prime Minister was elected every three years from 1800 to 1845, and every 5 years beginning in 1845. There are no term limits on Prime Ministers, however, aside from Octavius Silvercrone (1980-2000), no Prime Minister has ever served more than three terms non-consecutively or more than two consecutive terms.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Ministry of Psychology===
| |
| − | The Ministry of Psychology is an unelected body of 30 members appointed every six years by the Prime Minister for the purpose of educating the public regarding national law and for the purpose of enforcing those laws. The enforcement of laws is carried out by the [[Order Guard]], the national police force.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Ministry of Governance===
| |
| − | The Ministry of Governance (or MGov) is a three person body responsible for championing the addition of new laws. It serves as the Senate advocate for more laws; they lobby the Presidium and the Prime Minister to approve of bills written in the Senate. The three members of the MGov are Senators voted into office by the Senate once every three years.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Ministry of Equity===
| |
| − | The Ministry of Equity (or MEq) is a three person body responsible for championing amendments to existing laws. It serves as the citizen advocate for changing existing laws, and to keep the number of laws from rising or falling; they lobby the Presidium and the Prime Minister to approve of proposed amendments to the law written in either the Senate or the Assembly. The three members of the MEq are voted into office on a simple majority of Megatridimensional citizens once every three years. Members of the MEq cannot have held a legislative position prior to their election, but may have held office in the Presidium.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Ministry of Autonomy===
| |
| − | The Ministry of Autonomy (or MAut) is a three person body responsible for championing the repeal and removal of existing laws. It serves as the Assembly advocate for less laws; they lobby the Presidium and the Prime Minister to approve or repeal proposals written in the Assembly. The three members of the MAut are Assembly legislators voted into office by the Assembly once every three years.

| |
| − | The Presidium is a three person body responsible for ensuring that new laws, amendments and repeals are 1) from the proper ministry, 2) if approved, will not conflict with any existing law and 3) the title of any new law or amendment is not ambiguous. The Presidium also ratifies a legislative override of a PM veto, by certifying that the reason for PM veto has been adequately addressed. The three members of the Presidium are voted into office on a simple majority of Megatridimensional citizens once every three years. Members of the Presidium cannot have held a legislative position prior to their election, but may have held office in the MEq.

The Azurian Isles, also sometimes known as Azuria, is a technocratic island nation located in the southwest portion of the Lankanata Ocean. One of the most isolated countries in the world, the Azurian Isles was first founded in 912, with the six tribes of the islands joining together in a defense and commerce pact. In 1100 the isles were officially joined together in union under the Charter of Azuria. The country borders no other nation directly, however is located closest to the Comdantri Nortellus and Megatridimensional Order, which are to the north. The Azurian Isles has a population of 11.3 million, making it the second-least populated country in the Venturian Union. Its isolationism stems from its physical distance from any mainland, however also the Isles' devotion to technology and values of distrust towards outsiders.

The government of the Azurian Isles is based around the Charter of Azuria ratified by the six tribes and isles in 1100, however also incorporates laws and acts from the Tribal Agreement of 912, the 2005 Global Amendments, and basic legislative acts throughout history. The Charter of Azuria establishes first that the government of the Isles should be based upon technology and the wisdom of leaders, and that while the democratic will of the people is important in eliminating corruption, the expertise of leaders should be the first priority. The first specifics established by this document include the National Kyoku, the main national legislative body, and the Chief Executor.

In the case of a tie on how to proceed in terms of executing laws and making executive policy, the Chief Executor decides what actions should be taken.
Though the individual isles of the Azurian Isles are called sovereign isles and tribes, they have little autonomy. The one main right the isles have is the right to verify their allegiance to the union every 75 years, meaning that they may secede after any 75 year period if they do not like the direction of the Azurian national government or its policies. Additionally, the individual isles may convene sovereign assemblies to raise taxes or make decisions on smaller issues such as community trash collection and recreational areas. Overall though, the national government handles most issues in the nation, including education, recreation, war, politics, the environment, labor laws, commerce, social services and laws, etc.
