Summary



The Armed Forces of the Provincial Union, also called the United Provincial Armed Forces, are the military forces of the Provincial Union and consists of three primary branches; the Army, Navy, and Air Force, with the Navy and Air Force holding the most active duty currently, it serves as the world's largest military force and debated as the strongest. The Armed Forces hold three major leadership roles, those being the Commander-in-Chiefs who are in complete control over their specific branch. The President of the Union also acts as a major Executive in the Armed Forces, the President also coordinates interdepartmental relations and communications between the branches and occasionally the National Government. The King holds the authority as the Supreme Commander-in-Chief over the Armed Forces and is has unlimited control over the armed forces, however this can be overruled by the High Council whenever necessary or excessive. These branches also form the United Provincial Uniformed Services along with the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps and N.O.A.A.C. Commissioned Officer Corps. Officially as of 1973, the Provincial Union holds the most powerful armed forces in the world after surpassing the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. A major attribute to this is the Omega Project. The Omega Project, although already well known, is a very secretive project involving all of the nation's nuclear weapons, the disclosed information on this project is as follows: "The Omega Project can and will decimate the world through nuclear fire when the world has fallen under a total catastrophe, including; natural destruction, extra terrestrial invasion, international thermonuclear warfare, and likewise." - Omega Project Lead.

The Armed Forces fall under coordination with the National Departments of Defense and Offence who oversee the activities and operations. In accordance with number of personnel, the United Provincial Armed Forces holds the largest military world wide, however, the count of active personnel is much less than that number while the reserve stands at the largest with over 13 million reserve service personnel. The United Provincial Armed Forces also holds a major list of laws regarding actions which are tolerated and actions that are condemned, making it one of the strictest military forces in the world. The Provincial Union also prides itself with having one of the most disciplined armed forces in the world holding it with high structural standards in comparison to other nations. The United Provincial Army may have more personnel than the other forces combined but it also has the least active duty of any other branch. The Navy holds the second most total and second most active duty. The Air Force holds the most active duty of both the other branches and also is the most prepared as they have all locations ready for immediate launch and attack should an incursion occur.

Reservists are typically members who came in and completed basic military training and military specialty schools and are only required to complete further training once a month. Despite having a low requirement for contact hours, the Reserve Component can be called to action if needed and will act as active duty doing all of the duties and responsibilities of active duty.

Army:
Historically the army has served little to no use to the United Provincial Armed Forces when serving on the defensive side, primarily because after the 1500s the Provincial Union fully migrated to sea and stayed on island separated from the rest of the world and avoided any more altercations with other nations who may serve as a threat. The historically pugnacious attribute of the United Provincial Army has also served greatly against them as they have been known for picking fights with countries who have done absolutely nothing to prompt war, however the Army felt belligerent enough to start a war. Often times in the wars started by the United Provincial Army the victor came quick and easy, that being the United Provincial Army as the massive threat would intimidate many armies into collapse long before war had even begun. The structure of the United Provincial Army comes to easy understanding with its name, the Army is structured by conjoining the forces of all the armies of each province into one national army which serves as the force to protect the country on the ground, or to invade another. Since the Army has been formed for antiquity there is no legitimate founding date to be recorded.

Navy:
The United Provincial Navy was formed formally about a millennium ago when the threat came from the seas that the Europeans and Asians had posed a threat to the sanctity and isolation of the nation. The forming of the Navy was the most important act of the United Provincial Armed Forces ever, up until the establishment of the Air Force. When formed, the navy had a one sole purpose, to protect the shores and beaches from those who wish to plunder and siege, the Provincial Union had always had problems with trespassers and uninvited guests but when the Mongolians cornered the Union with the Abbasid Caliphate the threat of annihilation on land was imminent and the Navy was formed in order to flee to the Capital in the middle of the Pacific Ocean where they would command until present day. The Navy now serves an important role in guarding the coasts and protecting trade routes and other forms of maritime traffic. Some major fleets in the United Provincial Navy are located in the Indian Ocean where they protect cargo vessels and similar from pirates who wish to sabotage or hijack the ships.

Air Force:
The United Provincial Air Force was founded in 1942 through an act to amend the structure of the armed forces when it was recognized that the Air Corps was just a coalition of pilots flying planes and shooting machine guns from the back. Following the establishment of the Air Force the government eventually established priority on the Air Force as most threats were in the air. The United Provincial Air Force held the invaluable duty of protecting the skies during the Great Patriotic War, also known as World War 2, and when the Provincial Union joined the Great Patriotic War, there was a major necessity to fight in the air as German and Japanese planes threatened the nation from both fronts. The Air Force often had pilots in the air around cities all night long landing only to refuel and take off again to ensure that the most essential locations were not attacked. After the Great Patriotic War, the Provincial Union had made leaps and bounds to learn the use of nuclear weapons, the United Provincial Air Force had often requested the information from either the U.S.S.R. or the U.S. however neither would voluntarily give information until the Provincial Union threatened the United States with full forfeiture of the Treaty at which point the United States published details for a small nuclear weapon called the Fat Man. The Air Force has made many pushes in the field of Nuclear Technology in the air, as they have also created hundreds of variations to transport missiles and even have many powerful variations of Nuclear Weapons at disposal. The United Provincial Air Force now serves the most crucial role of defending the air space from unwanted guests or hijacked aircraft, the Air Force was responsible for maintaining a tame airspace following September 11th, 2001 when the United States was struck by 4 hijacked aircraft prompting the air force to make major changes to secure the airspace from a similar threat.

Alliance



The United States of America
The United States of America and the Provincial Union have been allies since the establishment of the United States in 1776 when the Provincial Union had supported the United States in opposition to Great Britain due to the prior statements of the Provincial Union to 'Empires Comprised of Satellite States they Cannot or Will Not Maintain' following this statement Great Britain made no change even after the Provincial Union had stated, "The Colonies of North America are growing weary of your control from across an ocean, they want independence and if you don't show them what's better, they'll choose independence". Following the separation of the United States from Great Britain, the Provincial Union did support their Revolution, however did not assist in the American-British Reclamation War, or the War of 1812, where the Provincial Union only supported the United States through Naval Blockades of British Navy enroute to the United States. The Provincial Union has also been known to protect the United States through diplomacy where whenever any nation would threaten or condemn the United States, the Provincial Union would immediately retaliate through the defense of the United States politically whether it be through the retaliatiatory threats or actions, generally the Provincial Union was successful at diffusing international conflicts between the United States and other world powers, achieving international acclaim.

The Provincial Union has not disclosed Prov. Un. military facilities in the US

The Russian Federation
The Russian People have generally supported the Provincial Union through all, even during the Cold War with the United States and Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the Provincial Union was, again and not surprisingly, the only nation in the world supported in full by both sides of the War. In present day, the Provincial Union still prizes itself on being great allies to the Russian Federation as the Provincial Union has been very supportive of Russia even when the United States is in total opposition. The Provincial Union has stated that the United States of America and the Russian Federation need to become better allies as the world depends on their friendship to keep the peace and if they are not at peace, then what will motivate others to do so. The Russian Federation and the Provincial Union have walked 'hand-in-hand' through many major obstacles between the United States and Russia as the Provincial Union wishes to assist both in overcoming their differences to create a peace for all nations together more-so than already present.

On 27 November, 2022, the Russian Air Force expressed concern regarding the placement of Russian military aircraft outside of Russian national territory and stated intent to recall the aircraft by 2023. This has prompted the United Provincial Air Force to deploy FH-14s to the Arzni Air Base in Armenia.

In 2023, following a rebellion of the Mercenary Group Wagner, the Russian Government called the Provincial Union to assist in fighting the rebellion. The initial response from the Provincial Union was affirmative in support of Russia, however CiCA Freeman fought the movement of Army forces to Russia. The actions of CiCA Freeman to keep Army forces out of Russia resulted in the Air Force being the only force to be sent to Russia, causing conflict between CiCA Freeman and CiCAF Nicholas. By 14 July, the United Provincial Army confirmed that forces will be deployed to Chkalovsky Air Base following a request from the King with concurrence from CiCA Freeman.

Chkalovsky Air Base
Established 2023. The United Provincial Armed Forces are actively being moved to the Chkalovsky Air Base.

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
The United Kingdom, since the beginning of relations with the Provincial Union, has always strived to be good allies with the Provincial Union as they believed "there is much to learn from each other" a quote the Provincial Union has agreed on, however, not acted on completely yet, as the Provincial Union still only gives technology used by it in the late 1990s to the international economy.

No operational military facilities are currently based in the UK

Republic of France
The French prize themselves on being the homeland of Her Majesty, the Queen, as she was born in North Eastern Paris and later arrived in the National Capital of the Provincial Union and happened upon the King accidentally. This has greatly improved relations with France as they have also sought to base actions around that of the Provincial Union as they have stated "If they are so peaceful, then why don't we all try to be the same?" resulting in major claims of the international community that the Provincial Union has been engaged in many wars throughout the past, although, the Provincial Union retaliated, most were resolved through diplomacy within months to years, causing very little actual bloodshed. The Provincial Union has also commended the French on their history and even defended them through major attacks, such as the Paris Attacks of 2015, where the Provincial Union launched a small nuclear strike on a major terror cell in the Middle East.

Aéroport du Havre-Octeville
Established 1944. Airport in Normandy, in Northern France. Used to be a civilian operated airport with the United Provincial Air Force attached, however in 2020 all civilian operations were terminated due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Established 1990. Naval Facility in Southern France, primarily operated by the French Navy however shares operations with the United Provincial Navy. Ceased operations with the UPN in 2020 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, however resumed in 2023.

Republic of Armenia
The Provincial Union began supporting Armenia in 2010 following an interview between the King and members of the Armenian government.

In November 2022, the United Provincial Air Force deployed a squadron of FH-14s to the the Arzni Air Base following a statement by the Russian Air Force stating their intent to recall Russian aircraft leased to other nations.

Arzni Air Base
Established 2010. Arzni Air Base is the primary military facility in Armenia and West Asia.

Republic of Italy
The Provincial Union has always supported the Roman Empire and later what became Italy, relations with Italy had greatly increased when it was unified and had immediately supported the Provincial Union in every way. Relations have also increased recently for unknown reasons, however the Provincial Union seemed increasingly protective of the nation within recent years.

Joint Base Delano
Established 2016. Named for Secretary of the Sovereign State, Rita Delano and is the primary military facility in Italy. Based near Naples and locally referred to as Aeroporto Militare di Caserta - Grazzanise.

United Mexican States
In light of a war that was caused over consistent negative relations between the governments, the Mexican States have been under the protection of the Provincial Union since the late 1800s when the Mexican-Pacifican War concluded. It was later noted in history that the war was initiated due to a senator losing his lunch to a rude Mexican official who showed no remorse following. The Mexican and Pacifican sovereigns were on very good terms with each other, and later in 1920, a Mexican-Pacifican noble arranged his daughter in marriage to the, at the time, eldest prince, however the prince died of complications and a new heir was named. This incident did not damage relations with Mexico, although still a talking point on diplomacy 100 years later.

Base Militar de Guadalupe Victoria
Established 1947. Named after the first President of Mexico who originally negotiated terms with the Provincial Union for peace and cooperation in North America.

Base Aérea de Emilio Carranza
Established 1988. Named after Emilio Carranza who was a Mexican aviator and considered a national hero in Mexico.

State of Japan
The Japanese have always been positive and supportive of the Provincial Union with exception of World War 2 when they attacked the Provincial Union in panic and desire for quick and easy land apprehension, which resulted in catastrophic failure for the Japanese as now having to fight three fronts. Throughout history, the Provincial Union has always supported the Japanese consistently helping and defending them from those who wished harm unto them.

Tokushima Awa-odori Airport (徳島阿波おどり空港)
Established 1951. The primary military facility in Japan operated by the United Provincial Armed Forces, based in Tokushima, Japan. Shared with the Japanese Self Defence Force and civilian operations.

Yao Airport (八尾空港)
Established 1949. Based in Osaka, Japan, serves as one of the major United Provincial Armed Forces bases in Asia. Operates primarily to deploy forces forward to other locations in Asia. Was jointly operated with the JSDF and civilians, however ceased joint operations in 2020 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Federal Republic of Germany
Germany has been generally protected by the Provincial Union since its establishment as the Provincial Union initially idolised its perfect economic establishment and later recovery from both World Wars. However, recently for unknown reasons, Germany has begun condemning and insulting the Provincial Union, although a poll in Germany suggested that over 60% of citizens living in the nation supported an alliance with the Provincial Union, it seemed that the government of Germany was opposed to the idea.

Chiemsee
Established in 2022. A small island in southern Bavaria, sometimes authorised for usage by Peacekeepers in Europe by the German Government. Publicly accessible for civilians outside of Peacekeeper functions.

Constitutional Monarchy of Canada
Canada has never been much of a major world player in terms of militarily with the exception of use as a British Military Landmark, such as in the American-British Reclamation War, or more colloquially known as the War of 1812, when the Canadian Regiment of the British Army was used to burn down the Executive Mansion of the United States, a prideful moment that the Canadians still prize themselves for to this day.

No operational military facilities are currently based in Canada

Commonwealth of Australia
Australians have always supported the Provincial Union in their efforts as being the closest neighbours to the Provincial Union, they also acted as a Diplomatic Base of Operations for the United Kingdom since they were considerably closer to the main parts of the Provincial Union and could act with diplomacy much better. The current President, Alice Crawford is of Australian descent which also boosts relations with the nation as they view that very 'flattering' to them.

No operational military facilities are currently based in Australia

Democratic People's Republic of Korea
DPR Korea, or more colloquially known as North Korea, is greatly supportive of the Provincial Union as it has stated they envy the neutrality and equality after the Provincial Union stated should either side start a war, both will be punished. Although the United States is in great opposition to this alliance, the Provincial Union has informed the United States that it believes that anyone and everyone deserves a chance at their governing, and if they fail, let their people fail them.

No operational military facilities are currently based in DPR Korea

Republic of Korea
One of the few nations who oppose the actions and ways of the Provincial Union, this was originally prompted by the Provincial Union stating that DPR Korea should be allowed to maintain its military and government, enraging the Republic of Korea as they wished a united Korea, however DPR Korea responded very positively to this statement along with China who both commended the Provincial Union. Since 2018 it has been reported that South Korea has begun 'warming' to the Provincial Union, forming a closer friendship than ever before.

No operational military facilities are currently based in the Republic of Korea

Military Preparedness



Standing Military
To this date the Provincial Union not only has the largest largest standing army, navy, and air force in the world, but is also the most prepared as rated by the United Nations. The Provincial Union has been discovered by the United Nations in 2013 to have an armed forces ten times the size of the United States Armed Forces, and to have a firepower several times stronger than that of the United States, Russia, and China. This massive readiness has resulted in 2016 for the United Nations to classify the overwhelming firepower of the Provincial Union to be stronger and more capable of defending itself from even a total invasion of every militarily armed nation in the world. This readiness is also attributed to the amount of satellite powers the Provincial Union uses resulting in a widespread and even distribution of its military. The Provincial Union has been called a war machine 'that requires no fuel' by the United Nations Security Council.

Alliances
A major factor to the fear of the United Provincial Armed Forces is that it also holds the most allies of any world power. Until World War 2, the Provincial Union held allies throughout the world and even through World War 2 and the Cold War, many nations were willing to defend through all. Japan, China, British Canada, the United States, the Soviet Union, Great Britain, France, Italy, and even Nazi Germany, were among those who stated that should the Provincial Union ever be struck, they would defend it, regardless the enemy. This alliance has grown since the dreadful days of World War 2, as now a majority of the world has stated itself willing to defend the Provincial Union, although it is possible that they only agree due to the status of the Provincial Union in military might. The reason for this massive military alliance is also attributed to the fact that since the beginning of its international relations it has always been generous and helpful to every other nation it has spoken with. The Provincial Union has also gained international acclaim through the achievement of peaceful relations with DPR Korea.

Although a lesser power in World War 2, the Provincial Union was still greatly intimidating to those who threatened it. Many did not know its size nor firepower, resulting in fearfully exaggerated projections displaying it as being stronger than the Soviet Union and United States combined even though it was no where near the might of the United States.

Strategic Locations and Control Points


The Americas
Panama Canal
Due to the structure of the Provincial Union, the Panama Canal is situated in a critical location for trade and other maritime movement. Currently, the Panama Canal is owned by Panama with oversight by the United States. The Provincial Union also provides security and oversight for the Canal due to its importance to the Nation and allies. This route is considered the most critical route to the Provincial Union and the National Government has stated that there are measures in place if access to the Canal is restricted or revoked, all measures involve forceful retaking of the Canal due to a lack of suitable alternatives.

The Panama Canal is open to all maritime movement situated in, from, or to the Provincial Union. The National Government concurs with this policy.

The Panama Canal is considered Allied and Controlled due to its shared control by one stable and neutral cooperative state (Panama) and one stable and allied state (United States).

Bering Strait
The Bering Strait is considered critical for access to Arctic Provinces due to the lack of suitable alternative routes. Currently, the Bering Strait is controlled by the United States and Russia, however no conflict over the Strait has occurred and both sides have supported maritime activity from the Provincial Union.

The Bering Strait is open to all maritime movement situated in, from, or to the Provincial Union.

The Bering Strait is considered Allied and Controlled due to its shared control by two nations allied to the Provincial Union (Russia and the United States).

Europe
Strait of Gibraltar
The Strait of Gibraltar is a critical strait for any maritime movement involving Mediterranean States. The Provincial Union relies heavily on trade and commerce through France and Italy and due to the position of United Provincial Armed Forces installations, it has become increasingly critical that the Strait be safe and controlled. Currently, the Strait of Gibraltar is controlled by Spain and Morocco with some oversight by the United Kingdom through a small base on the Gibraltar Peninsula. The Provincial Union also provides oversight and security for the Strait through use of the United Provincial Navy. Intelligence agencies do report that there is potential instability in Morocco, however this is not considered a threat at this time.

The Strait of Gibraltar is open to all maritime movement situated in, from, or to the Provincial Union.

The Strait of Gibraltar is considered Allied and Controlled due to its shared control by several stable cooperative states. (Spain, Morocco, and the United Kingdom)

Bay of Biscay
The Bay of Biscay is considered a key location for maritime activities involving France, a critical ally of the Provincial Union. There is not much commercial maritime activity through the Bay involving the Provincial Union. Currently, the Bay of Biscay is controlled jointly by two NATO members; France and Spain. The Bay is often used for Naval training or military movements involving France, Spain, or European NATO forces.

The Bay of Biscay is open to all maritime movement situated in, from, or to the Provincial Union.

The Bay of Biscay is considered Allied and Controlled due to its shared control by two nations allied to the Provincial Union (France and Spain).

English Channel
The English Channel is considered critical due to its location being a shortened route of access for states in Northern Europe. There is heavy maritime movement through the Channel and the Provincial Union often conducts military drills with UK, French, or other NATO forces in the area. Currently, the English Channel is controlled by the United Kingdom and France with assistance from other NATO members and the United States.

The English Channel is open to all maritime movement situated in, from, or to the Provincial Union.

The English Channel is considered Allied and Controlled due to its shared control by two nations allied to the Provincial Union (France and the United Kingdom)

North Sea
The North Sea is considered critical due to its location being essential for trade with Scandinavian and Baltic countries. Following the deterioration of relations with Turkey and the disallowance of the Provincial Union to utilise the Bosporus Strait to access the Black Sea, the Provincial Union has used the North Sea to trade and conduct various maritime movements to/from Russia. However, since the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian War, the Provincial Union has shifted commercial maritime movement to the Russian East, namely Vladivostok. Currently, the North Sea is controlled by multiple nations and the Provincial Union does have enough naval presence in the region to consider it controlled.

The North Sea is open to all maritime movement situated in, from, or to the Provincial Union.

The North Sea is considered Allied and Controlled due to its shared control by several nations allied to the Provincial Union (The United Kingdom, Netherlands, Norway, Germany, and Denmark).

Danish Straits and the Baltic Sea
The Danish Straits and Baltic Sea are considered critical due to their allowance for trade with Scandinavian and Baltic states. Historically, the Provincial Union has used the Straits and Sea to access Russia after the deterioration of relations with Turkey, however this has ceased due to the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War and maritime movements involving Russia have been shifted to the Russian East, namely Vladivostok. Currently, the Danish Straits are controlled by Denmark while the Baltic Sea is controlled by Denmark, Germany, Poland, Sweden, Russia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Finland.

The Danish Straits and Baltic Sea are open to all maritime movement situated in, from, or to the Provincial Union.

The Danish Straits and the Baltic Sea are considered Allied and Uncontrolled due to their shared control by several nations neutral, cooperative, or allied to the Provincial Union and the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War.

Asia

East China Sea
Historically, the East China Sea has proven itself in a critical location due to commercial movement to/from Shanghai, Qingdao, Tianjin, Seoul, and Pyongyang. Recently, the importance of the East China Sea has declined due to the Provincial Union shifting economic focus elsewhere and away from Mainland China and its neighbours. Currently, the East China Sea is primarily controlled by the Chinese Mainland Government, with some challenges from Japan, the Republic of Korea, Taiwan, and the Provincial Union. The United States also conducts military activities in the region. The National Government of the Provincial Union has recommended that commercial activity avoid utilising the region due to the ongoing maritime conflict with Mainland China.

Maritime movement through the East China Sea is dangerous and safety/security is not guaranteed.

The East China Sea is considered Uncertain and Uncontrolled due to the ongoing maritime conflict between Mainland China and the Provincial Union.

South China Sea
The South China Sea is considered critical due to its position being an ideal route for maritime movement between the Pacific and Indian Oceans. However, due to the recent maritime transgressions and trespasses by the Chinese Mainland Government, the Provincial Union has begun moving commercial movement elsewhere, namely through the Torres Strait and Timor Sea over 2,000 km south. The Sea remains the primary route for maritime movements involving Indochinese nations and Indonesia, however commercial movement is accompanied by a Naval Security Force to ensure the safety of the vessels. The United Provincial Navy has discussed moving Naval forces into the region to assist allied coalition partners. Currently, the South China Sea is not under any specific control, however the Chinese Mainland Government is growing in its authority over the region.

Maritime movement through the South China Sea is dangerous and safety/security is not guaranteed.

The South China Sea is considered Contested and Uncontrolled due to the ongoing maritime conflict between Mainland China and nations situated near or within the South China Sea where the Provincial Union has also been involved militarily.

Taiwan Strait
The Taiwan Strait is considered a key location for the protection of an allied nation and coalition partner; Taiwan. The Provincial Union does not have any commercial or civilian maritime assets utilising the Strait, however the United Provincial Navy utilises the Strait to support the defence of the island nation of Taiwan. Currently, the Taiwan Strait is contested between Taiwan and Mainland China, however the Provincial Union has supported Taiwan in its control over the Strait due to the importance of Taiwan to the global trade market and economy as well as its positioning in opposition to Mainland China. Taiwan is considered a key military asset to the Provincial Union and an essential trading and economic partner.

Maritime movement through the Taiwan Strait is dangerous and safety/security is not guaranteed.

The Taiwan Strait is considered Contested and Uncontrolled due to the ongoing maritime conflict between Mainland China and Taiwan where the Provincial Union has also been involved militarily.

Sea of Japan
The Sea of Japan is considered critical due to its use in commerce traveling between the Provincial Union and allied nations such as Russia, Japan, the Republic Korea, and DPR Korea. The Provincial Union has focused trade with Russia through the eastern city of Vladivostok since the February 2022 due to the War in Ukraine, Vladivostok is situated on the Sea of Japan. Currently, the Sea of Japan is controlled by Russia, Japan, DPR Korea, and the Republic of Korea with oversight and military assistance from the United States and Provincial Union. Since the deterioration of relations with Mainland China, the Provincial Union has focused East Asian trade through the Sea of Japan rather than the China Seas.

The Sea of Japan is open to all maritime movement situated in, from, or to the Provincial Union.

The Sea of Japan is considered Allied and Uncontrolled due to its contested control between the DPR Korea, Republic of Korea, and Japan, however all of these nations are cooperative with the Provincial Union.

Middle East

Suez Canal
The Suez Canal is situated in a critical location for international trade or maritime movement involving Asia or the Indian Oceanic Provinces and the rest of the world. Currently, the Suez Canal is owned by Egypt with very little foreign assistance or oversight, however the Sinai Peninsula has been a subject of conflict in the past during an Egyptian war with Israel. The outbreak of a war involving Egypt and the Sinai Peninsula could be catastrophic to maritime movement through the Canal.

The Suez Canal is open to all maritime movement situated in, from, or to the Provincial Union, however does prioritise trade and commercial movement over military and government. The National Government concurs with this policy.

The Suez Canal is considered Allied and Controlled due to its sole control by a stable and neutral cooperative state (Egypt).

Bosporus Strait
The Bosporus Strait is considered unnecessary for the Provincial Union. All maritime movement through the Strait was terminated upon the deterioration of relations between the Provincial Union and Turkey following the escalation of extremism and authoritarianism by the Turkish Government. The Provincial Union has utilised the Strait historically for trade with Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, and Georgia. The Provincial Union still conducts commercial maritime activities with Russia by using alternate routes such as the Baltic Sea before the Russo-Ukrainian War and the Sea of Japan after the outbreak of the War. Currently, the Bosporus Strait is controlled solely by the Republic of Turkey with little control from any other nation, including the United States. The Turkish Government has not blocked any maritime movement involving the Provincial Union, the cessation was at the discretion of the National Government of the Provincial Union.

The Bosporus Strait is closed to all maritime movement situated in, from, or to the Provincial Union.

The South China Sea is considered Restricted and Controlled due to the lack of cooperation between the governments of the Provincial Union and the Republic of Turkey.

Oceania

Java Sea
The Java Sea is situated in a critical location for interoceanic maritime movement due to its positioning between the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The Provincial Union frequently uses the region for commercial and military maritime movements between the Pacific and Indian Oceans or the West Pacific and South Atlantic Oceans. Additionally, the region is considered an alternate for maritime movement to the Atlantic from the Pacific without utilising the Panama Canal. Currently, the Java Sea is controlled solely by the Republic of Indonesia and has a heavy presence from the United Provincial Navy.

The Java Sea is open to all maritime movement situated in, from, or to the Provincial Union.

The Java Sea is considered Allied and Controlled due to its sole control by an allied nation (Indonesia) with heavy influence from the Provincial Union.

Torres Strait
The Torres Strait is located in a critical position for maritime movements between the South Pacific and South/East Indian Oceans. The Provincial Union frequently utilises the region for movement between the South Pacific and East Indian Oceans. Currently, the Torres Strait is controlled by Papua New Guinea and Australia with a heavy presence from the United Provincial Navy.

The Torres Strait is open to all maritime movement situated in, from, or to the Provincial Union.

The Torres Strait is considered Allied and Controlled due to its shared control by two allied states (Papua New Guinea and Australia).

Africa

Bab al-Mandab Strait
The Bab al-Mandab Strait is situated south of the Suez Canal and is considered a critical due to its location and ability to control traffic through the Suez Canal. Currently, the Bab al-Mandab Strait is controlled by Eritrea, Yemen, and Djibouti, however the presence of US and NATO forces have provided some security for allied maritime activity through the Strait. However, there is increasing Chinese presence in the region leading to power struggles over the region between Chinese and NATO forces. Despite the conflict over Chinese and NATO power, both sides have provided security and assistance to maritime movement situated in, from, or to the Provincial Union and the Chinese Mainland Government has expressed its intent to protect assets of the Provincial Union utilising the Strait.

The Bab al-Mandab Strait is open to all maritime movement situated in, from, or to the Provincial Union.

The Bab al-Mandab Strait is considered Uncertain and Uncontrolled due to its shared control by Eritrea, Yemen, and Djibouti and joint presence of US, NATO, and Chinese forces.

Mozambique Channel
The Mozambique Channel is in a location which makes is advantageous for maritime movement that would benefit from utilising the Channel to achieve a shorter travel distance. Additionally, maritime movement which requires travelling around South Africa utilises this route and has the potential to benefit from the shortened distance. Currently, the Mozambique Channel is controlled by Mozambique and Madagascar, however there is a heavy United Provincial Navy presence due to threats of piracy north of the Channel.

The Mozambique Channel is considered Allied and Controlled due to its shared control by two cooperative states (Madagascar and Mozambique)

Military Engagement History



World War 2
United States Incursion
In late 1941, the United States was attacked by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor, all nearby U.P. military bases were put on alert and all anti-air were on, however no attack occurred against the Provincial Union and the bases were taken off alert, this marked the first time the Provincial Union had even the slightest threat of war since the 19th Century. In 1939 the Provincial Union was ranked 9th in the world for most powerful being outranked by the, U.S.S.R., Nat. Soc. Germany, United Kingdom, Japan, Italy, France, United States, and China. By 1942, the Provincial Union reached 5th and by 1944, 3rd only being outranked by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, National Socialist Germany, and the United States of America. Following World War 2, however, the Provincial Union bypassed the National Socialist Germany and in 1969 the Provincial Union ranked first due to the Centurial War.
Japanese attack on American Pearl Harbor
The attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese caught both nations off guard, and on the morning of the attack, liaison personnel from the United Provincial Navy received warnings from nearby bases who had caught sight of the Japanese aircraft. The Provincial Union immediately notified liaison forces in Pearl Harbor, however due to it being a Sunday, most personnel were at the chapel on base and unable to forward information. The few individuals who were available to notify immediately began moving to the Naval Command Center in Pearl Harbor to notify the CINCPAC, however due to the churchgoing inconvenience, most vehicles were unavailable for dispatch and many individuals had to run, some even going so far as riding in civilian vehicles. By 7:43, Flight Lieutenant George Hansen reached the Command Center of Pearl Harbor, however, despite barking at entry officials that he was indeed an officer and his attire being that of a civilian, the personnel did not admit him until multiple naval enlisted arrived in uniform shouting, and later quoted as saying, "They're coming" which was immediately followed by the sounds of explosions in the distance, those explosions being those of bombs from Japanese bombers. Following the attack, the Provincial Union sent a major medical battalion and a major mechanical battalion to assist. Later in December, the Provincial Union dispatched a major naval fleet manned by Admiral James Hann. After the attack, the liaison station was destroyed by the bombs dropped by the Japanese, the flag flying was discovered on December 8 in the harbour discovered by American search and rescue, it was nearly shredded but was later gifted to the United States at Pearl Harbor. The attack was later denounced by Japan as an act of aggression only against the United States and no aggression implied against the Provincial Union.
Attack at Harring Atoll
An archipelago 117 nautical miles from mainland Japan called Howling Atoll was the initial blow and chain to bring the Provincial Union into war with the Axis Powers. On 11 April, 1944, the Japanese, issuing a "Declaration of Aggression" two days prior, although 'lost in the paper work', launched an unexpected attack at Harring Atoll, however the atoll was not a major naval location due to all major military centres being in the eastern Pacific. For this reason, the area was completely unguarded from attack with exception of several minor facilities within a few hundred miles of the Japanese mainland. Due to its proximity, the atoll was completely unaware of the incoming Japanese attack. During the attack, several dozen battleships were destroyed and many more aircraft. The primary carrier at the time, UPS Kowley and its fleet, was at the, previously attacked, Pearl Harbor for a liaison mission with the United States Navy. During the attack a major defensive carrier, UPS Narwal was destroyed during a training mission 7 miles away from the island, rescue efforts could not arrive in time to rescue everyone from the vessel. After the attack of the Harring Atoll, the surrounding military bases were placed on alert and the Japanese forces were cut off by the United Provincial Air Force 37 miles away from the Japanese mainland after leaving from a Soviet liaison base, contrary to status between the United States and the Soviet Union, the Provincial Union was able to use the Soviet bases. The interception was successful in disabling 23 of the 48 aircraft involved, this act began the Provincial Union's joining of World War 2.
Normandy Beach Landing
The Allied Powers orchestrated the Normandy Beach Landing on 6 June, 1944, the date was supported by the Provincial Union in a belief that should it end the world or the Allied Powers it should be on the sixth day of the sixth month, however the Provincial Union supported it to be on the sixth year of the war, however could not spare the wait. The Provincial Union did not hold a very major role in the Invasion of Normandy Beach and later other Allied Powers claimed the Provincial Union to be a very unnecessary player in the 'wargames' as they preferred fighting on the Pacific front. This day also marked the first and only time in history that the Provincial Union fought alongside Europeans as allies, and marked the fourth recorded time in history that the Provincial Union fought alongside another nation in war.
Pacific Ocean Front
The Provincial Union holds a vast majority of its fleet in the Pacific Ocean, the neglect of the Atlantic Ocean resulted in the Atlantic Independence War as they believed the Pacific to be the more important ocean. The Provincial Union in 1944 had the largest navy in the world however not the best equipped. The Provincial Union also had aircraft capable of "superior maneuvering" which was witnessed majorly disorienting the Japanese Navy and Air Force. The United States dealt with most of the Pacific Front as they took most major islands, however the Provincial Union, along with the Soviet Union, not only distracted and 'teased' the Japanese but also eventually invaded the Japanese mainland from the south and east, on 4 July, 1945 the Provincial Union liberated taken islands. In 30 July, 1945, after being warned by the United States of a major threat incoming to south Japan, the Provincial Union withdrew from mainland Japan and on 6 August, 1945 a large ordinance detonation was reported in Hiroshima and another in Nagasaki three days later.

Frontal View of the King Jackson Military Centre

Historically the army has served little to no use to the United Provincial Armed Forces when serving on the defensive side, primarily because after the 1500s the Provincial Union fully migrated to sea and stayed on island separated from the rest of the world and avoided any more altercations with other nations who may serve as a threat. The historically pugnacious attribute of the United Provincial Army has also served greatly against them as they have been known for picking fights with countries who have done absolutely nothing to prompt war, however the Army felt belligerent enough to start a war. Often times in the wars started by the United Provincial Army the victor came quick and easy, that being the United Provincial Army as the massive threat would intimidate many armies into collapse long before war had even begun. The structure of the United Provincial Army comes to easy understanding with its name, the Army is structured by conjoining the forces of all the armies of each province into one national army which serves as the force to protect the country on the ground, or to invade another. Since the Army has been formed for antiquity there is no legitimate founding date to be recorded.

Russian-Ukrainian War
The Provincial Union refused to send any form of assistance to either side of the Russian-Ukrainian War. In 2023, Queen Grace and CiC Freeman proposed sending excess materiel to Ukraine to assist in the defence, however the proposal never gained traction before the Provincial Union was called to arms by the Russian Federation against the armed rebellion led by the Wagner Group.

Wagner Rebellion in Russia
On 25 June 2023, the Provincial Union was called to arms by the Russian Federation under what is considered a valid clause in the Russo-Pacifican Defence Treaty stating that either Nation will come to the defence of the other in any case of armed rebellion or civil war. The Provincial Union is expected to accept the call and deploy a small armed force to Moscow to assist in the defence.

In the later hours of 25 June, multiple bases in Europe and Arzni Air Base in Armenia were activated likely with the expectation that they will be deploying personnel forward to Russia. Within an hour of the announcement that UPA personnel were being sent to Moscow, the Russian Government and Wagner Group were able to negotiate a halt in the advancement of the Wagner personnel.

The United Provincial Armed Forces are reportedly expected to deploy to Chkalovsky Air Base near Moscow.

The conflict was almost the first direct involvement of the Provincial Union in a European conflict since World War 2.

Frontal View of the King Jackson Military Centre

The United Provincial Navy was formed formally about a millennium ago when the threat came from the seas that the Europeans and Asians had posed a threat to the sanctity and isolation of the nation. The forming of the Navy was the most important act of the United Provincial Armed Forces ever, up until the establishment of the Air Force. When formed, the navy had a one sole purpose, to protect the shores and beaches from those who wish to plunder and siege, the Provincial Union had always had problems with trespassers and uninvited guests but when the Mongolians cornered the Union with the Abbasid Caliphate the threat of annihilation on land was imminent and the Navy was formed in order to flee to the Capital in the middle of the Pacific Ocean where they would command until present day. The Navy now serves an important role in guarding the coasts and protecting trade routes and other forms of maritime traffic. Some major fleets in the United Provincial Navy are located in the Indian Ocean where they protect cargo vessels and similar from pirates who wish to sabotage or hijack the ships.

20th Century
The United Provincial Navy has had an extensive usage during the 20th Century primarily in terms of the Great Patriotic War, also known as World War 2 where it held as the primary defence against the ruthless Japanese Imperial Navy.

A very notable use of the Navy was its use in deceiving the Japanese Navy following the attack on Harring Atoll when Imperial ships were closing in on the Capital Province, the far outnumbered UPN had orchestrated a fleet design to deceive the Japanese into believe the fleet to be much larger than it really was.

2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War
The UPN was not heavily involved in the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War, however when Turkey and Israel were showing signs of intervention the United Provincial Navy deployed two large fleets to the East Mediterranean Sea. The fleets were stationed near Turkey and Israel in case either decided to declare war on Armenian and in turn, the Provincial Union.

Hong Kong
Unofficially called Operation Tiananmen, this operation involved the surrounding of Hong Kong with naval vessels to exercise authority and control. Additionally, it served as a "just in case" protocol for if the Chinese Mainland Government began committing heinous acts against its citizens in Hong Kong.

Taiwan Strait
Operation Great Wall is the ongoing operation against the People's Republic of China and its hostilities against the Republic of China (Taiwan).

2023 Spy Balloon Incidents
This unnamed operation was conducted to counter the Chinese Mainland Government's use of balloons to spy on the Provincial Union and allies.

2023 Titan Submersible Incident
On the 18 June 2023, the an Oceangate submersible called Titan disappeared amidst the wreckage of the Titanic without any trace or ability to contact. Originally, the Canadian and US Governments refused assistance from the Provincial Union, despite the Provincial Union not requiring consent to assist, the United Provincial Navy dispatched a small UPN S&R Flotilla to the site but did not interfere with ongoing operations due to the refusal of the Canadian and US Navies.

On 22 July 2023, an undisclosed US Coast Guard officer reportedly informally asked UPN Admiral Frank Menetti if the flotilla would be able to assist in the search for the missing submersible. The UPN sent multiple deep-sea submersibles to the site and searched the area heavily. Several hours later, one of the submersibles detected an "out of place debris field" near the bow of the Titanic and confirmed it was a strange "dome-like object". The debris was verified by the US and Canadian Navies as belonging to the Titan sub, control of the area was handed over to the Canadian Navy and the United Provincial Navy returned to base.

The US Government was "outraged" by the intervention, the Canadian Government publicly expressed gratitude for the assistance.

Shipbuilding Industry
The Provincial Union currently has the largest shipbuilding industry in the world, with nearly every province having a very capable shipyard and some having more than one.

Expansion
Between 2010 and 2020, the United Provincial Navy only signed 37 ships into service while in the year of 2021 alone, the National Government contracted out the construction of 39 new ships, most of them being light destroyers.

On the 7th of July, 2021, the United Provincial Navy contracted out the construction of three carriers to; the Harring Atoll Shipyard, Yonoda Provincial Shipbuilding, and Poqu Provincial Shipbuilding.

Carriers
Overview

Super Battleship
Overview
The Super Battleships of the Provincial Union are considered unchallenged by any nation to this day. The ability of the Super Battleships to wrest control of the region of water they pass through is heavily recognised internationally, and their presence is often considered a major strategic 'change of tides' as even a single Super Battleship can change the entire outcome of a naval battle.

Design
The design of the Super Battleship is entirely what makes it near invincible in deep seas; from its near impenetrable armour designs and 'excessive' weapons systems, ranging from surface, subsurface, and aerial strike abilities. The Super Battleship is capable of easily taking on targets from several different battle mediums and can easily distract entire fleets of adversaries while allied forces strategically disable critical enemy strike points. This combined with the powerful nature of the 'stationary weapons systems', weapons which are set in place and do not rotate or pivot on any axis due to the overwhelming size of their mechanisms leading to extremely powerful weapons capable of penetrating even the thickest armour, has made the Super Battleship overly capable of taking on several vessels at once and winning.

Dedication
The Super Battleship is generally dedicated to a current or recently passed member of the Royal Family due to the overwhelming strength of the vessel being so respectable that naming committees have determined it deserves the highest honourable naming.

Frontal View of the King Jackson Military Centre

The United Provincial Air Force was founded in 1942 through an act to amend the structure of the armed forces when it was recognized that the Air Corps was just a coalition of pilots flying planes and shooting machine guns from the back. Following the establishment of the Air Force the government eventually established priority on the Air Force as most threats were in the air. The United Provincial Air Force held the invaluable duty of protecting the skies during the Great Patriotic War, also known as World War 2, and when the Provincial Union joined the Great Patriotic War, there was a major necessity to fight in the air as German and Japanese planes threatened the nation from both fronts. The Air Force often had pilots in the air around cities all night long landing only to refuel and take off again to ensure that the most essential locations were not attacked. After the Great Patriotic War, the Provincial Union had made leaps and bounds to learn the use of nuclear weapons, the United Provincial Air Force had often requested the information from either the U.S.S.R. or the U.S. however neither would voluntarily give information until the Provincial Union threatened the United States with full forfeiture of the Treaty at which point the United States published details for a small nuclear weapon called the Fat Man. The Air Force has made many pushes in the field of Nuclear Technology in the air, as they have also created hundreds of variations to transport missiles and even have many powerful variations of Nuclear Weapons at disposal. The United Provincial Air Force now serves the most crucial role of defending the air space from unwanted guests or hijacked aircraft, the Air Force was responsible for maintaining a tame airspace following September 11th, 2001 when the United States was struck by 4 hijacked aircraft prompting the air force to make major changes to secure the airspace from a similar threat.

Mission



The Mission Statement of the United Provincial Air Force is as follows:
"Our Air Force will defend our nation and our planet from all threats, we will secure Air, Space, and Cyberspace through the use of our Nation's Air Force"

History



Origin
In 1931 the Army Air Corps was established and was later moved to being a part of the Navy in 1934. Throughout the period following the official formation of the Air Corps; the Air Corps was mostly comprised of civilians flying personal aircraft and shooting from the sides of the aircraft using personal weapons. Until 1939 the Air Corps was considerably useless and was used as a primary means of transportation for military and government personnel. The Air Corps was also seen as one of the less important branches of the United Provincial Armed Forces as it received the most funding for such little usage. In 1941 the Air Corps was discovered to be much more valuable than just transportation and intimidation and was established as the United Provincial Air Force with its primary objective being to defend the National Airspace and to intimidate enemies from incursion. The Air Force later developed through the years following World War 2 into the primary overseers and users of the National Nuclear Program, later integrated into the Navy as the International Nuclear Deterrence Force. In the late 1950s the Air Force, in light of its massive budget and little usage, began being used for technological purposes and in 1963 was the parent department to the United Provincial Space Program. In 1972 the Air Force's budget was shifted from scientific focus to military focus and began developing aircraft and weaponry for use in any potential wars. In 1994 the United Provincial Air Force Department of Cyberspace Warfare, was established in order to protect the nation from attacks through technology.

20th Century
The United Provincial Air Force was established in the mid 20th Century on the rims of World War 2 and was utilised throughout the century to develop and protect the nation further. In 1987 the United Provincial Air Force was awarded the title of Most Advanced National Force striking fear in the hearts of many potential foes. Through the late 1900s the United Provincial Air Force saw major advancements to its arsenal and field of battle. The Air Force migrated from aircraft pilots armed with weapons to fight on the ground, to a force capable of decimating an entire nation the size of the continental United States without the threat of a single casualty. Major advancements also include the Air Force using nuclear weapons to deter other nations from attack. The Provincial Union utilises the United Provincial Air Force for many reasons including Air Defense. The National Aerospace Defense Command is comprised of several regional centres, a map is displayed below. Orange indicates uncovered. The United Provincial Air Force remains the most powerful Air Force in the world trumping the United States Air Force three times over.

Democratic-Republican War
The Air Force served no major use in the Democratic-Republican War as it was a considerably local and domestic war involving armed citizens and using major weapons through the Air Force would harm innocent civilians.

World War 2
Through World War 2 the Provincial Union yielded the seventh largest Air Force, however the display of the Air Force was focused near Japan and the Soviet Union to deter both nations from engaging in combat with the Provincial Union. In 1943 a United Provincial Air Field was struck by American bombers misplaced while targeting the Japanese, this incident resulted in a large scale scatter of Air Force aircraft near the United States controlled Midway Islands, the massive amount of aircraft was stated by the United States as being the "primary deterring factor" on hardly even remotely possible war with the Provincial Union. In 1944 when the Japanese struck the Provincial Union the Air Force immediately retaliated in full force against the Japanese mainland resulting in major damages and mass casualties. The Provincial Union utilised the Air Force to strike fear not only in the eyes of the enemy but also in the eyes of the allies fighting by its side. As the United States progressed in the Pacific front, the Provincial Union always covered with heavy masses of aircraft, along with the Soviets who were also 'escorted' by United Provincial Air Force aircraft. These actions were intended to intimidate the United States and Soviet Union from potential attacks on the Provincial Union in the future. During the War in Europe, the Provincial Union avoided usage of the Air Force, although by the time of entry into the war the Provincial Union was second in the world for Air Force. In 1946 the Provincial Union held the title of largest Air Force in the world.

Pano-Pacifican War
Throughout the Pano-Pacifican hostilities the United Provincial Air Force did little to deter the Panomian Nation from threatening the provinces near it, later following the assassination of Her Majesty, Queen, Mary Magenes in 1997, the United Provincial Air Force launched the largest nuclear strike to date using 10 massive nuclear warheads to completely destroy the island in which Panomia was based, the craters later turned the island into a large atoll in the Indian Ocean.

Atlantic Independence War
The Air Force was responsible for major strikes on Atlantic Production Centres during the Independence War, this was primarily done to show the Atlantic Oceanic States to be incapable of self-sustainability following independence. Well known strikes involved 'fire bombs' on major farming centres and some chemical weapon sites. The destruction of said chemical weapon sites resulted in the United Nations withdrawing any and all support yielded to the Atlantic Oceanic States in light of the potential terror that may arise as an outcome of its independence.

21st Century
During the 21st Century, the Provincial Union encountered wars never seen before, however due to its peaceful nature throughout history, was more than capable of evading most major threats from terrorism until 5 July, 2000 when a large observation monument was struck by an aircraft, due to the proximity of the aircraft to the United States City of New York, the Provincial Union immediately warned the United States of a possible imminent threat of attack to the east coast of the United States, the United States ignored the Provincial Union. Days following the attack the airspace was restricted nationally and closed in many areas. The airspace reopened with two days due to the highly inconvenient proximity to a major economic hub of the United States and World Market, New York City. On September 11, 2001, known colloquially as 9/11, the reaction of the United Provincial Air Force was to direct all international flights north, resulting in all air traffic to travel above the 47 parallel and below the 42 parallel. Immediately after hearing of the strike, the airspace nationally was shut down. The Air Force held a prime objective of eliminating threats and safely defending the nation from terrorism. The airspace reopened on 14 September, 2001 in some areas, primarily to fit intercontinental flights, and on 27 October, 2001, the Provincial Union officially opened all 'public access routes' to air travel, it wasn't until 2004 that most restrictions were released. The Capital and other major cities and population centres remain with heavily restricted airspace. The Capital remains the most restricted and fortified airspace in the world, holding the title since 2006.

War on Terror
The United Provincial Air Force has been utilised heavily during the Provincial Union's involvement in the International War on Terror, primarily to strike enemy targets without the threat of immediate retaliation. Through the Nation's involvement in the War on Terror, the Air Force saw frequent use on minor population centres which were deemed to have high densities of terrorists or rebels. Towards the end of the Provincial Union's involvement in the War on Terror it was declared that the Provincial Union supported sovereigns in charge of their nations resulting in the United States recoiling with claims against the Provincial Union and claims of corruption within the National Government, in 2015 following the DBJ Terror Attack, the United States made an advance to insult the Provincial Union for withdrawing from the War on Terror, prompting the Provincial Union to threaten the United States, since the threat was issued, no further comment has been made by any nation regarding the Provincial Union's involvement in the War on Terror.

Aircraft



FV-03 Helion


Overview
Designed by an South Pacifican company; Hammer-in-Vector Industries, the Helion is the premier aircraft in the UPAF's arsenal. The FV-03 is easily the most capable fighter that the world has seen

Notable Features
The FV-03 has multiple features that are considered unique and extremely advantageous, despite the immense secrecy surrounding the aircraft.

Rotating Horizontal/Vertical Stabilisers
The entirety of both vertical stabilisers on the FV-03 Helion rotate rather than the traditional rudder motion on other aircraft. To add additional manoeuvrability, the edges of the vertical stabilisers do connect into rudders which turn in addition to the vertical stabilisers. The horizontal stabilisers follow the same design and movement, including the additionally manoeuvrable edges to add to the aircraft's normal manoeuvrability.

Thrust Vectoring
Both engines of the FV-03 Helion are capable of moving left/right and up/down, doing so adds even more manoeuvrability to the aircraft.

G-limited stick
The FV-03 Helion is capable of pushing over 20+ Gs due to the aerodynamic nature of the aircraft, despite the lethal limit being about half that. Due to this design, the stick (used by the pilot in the handling of the aircraft), has a physical limit implemented with the purpose of physically limiting the pilot's ability to manipulate it at high speeds. The limiter increases/decreases with the speed of the aircraft. This limiter has protected pilots from "reflex movements" that would have led to them being extremely hurt by the rapid movement of the aircraft. This function can be disabled by pulling on a pulling-device opposite the pilot on the stick.

Weapons Bay
The FV-03 Helion features an interior weapons bay where it stores armaments. The exact number of weapons that can be held by the aircraft is classified.

The Provincial Union Department of the Sovereign State (DoS) is the governing department over all national and international relations. The Head of State is the King, secondary being the Queen and tertiary is the President. Most matters of diplomacy are handled by the President, Vice President, and the Secretary of the Sovereign State. The Head of Government is the King, however the President holds more political influence than the King as they are elected and not born into office.

Mission



The mission statement of the Department of the Sovereign State is as follows:

"Representing the diverse but united interests of the Provincial Union and her People."

History



Origin
The DoS was established in order to organise the national government and subsidiary governments into one department.

Sovereignty Park



Individual Flag Origins
Each flag is acquired through the request of the Department of the Sovereign State to the Nation of Origin, the Nation of Origin will then send their National Flag to their Pacifican Embassy which will forward the flag to the Provincial Union for display in the Park.

Flags Displayed
The following nations have flags in the Sovereignty Park: Every ally of the Provincial Union, the following are in the interior circle: the United States of America, Russian Federation, State of Japan, Republic of France, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Republic of Italy, Republic of Armenia, Commonwealth of Australia, and United Mexican States. The flag of the United States is centred in the rear of the order, the National Flag is placed in the centre.

Changes
The United States was added first alongside the Union Flag in 1889 and the square was named the Plaza of Friendship and still retains the name, however the official square is named Sovereignty Park. The British flag was added in 1901 when Great Britain vowed a defensive pact with the Provincial Union. The United Mexican States was added in 1931 as an apology for a prior war with Mexico. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was added in 1931 for being a major superpower, it was removed in 1991. National Socialist Germany was added in 1938 for being a major superpower and ally, it was later removed in 1943. The People's Republic of China was added in 1982 in order to promote relations with communism. In 1991 the flag of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was removed and replaced in 1993 with the flag of the Russian Federation. The United Kingdom flag was added in 2002, prior the flag on the wall was that of Great Britain. The Republic of Armenia was added due to Middle Eastern relations in 2008. The Republic of France was added in 2011 following the coronation of the Queen. The Republic of Italy was added in 2014 due to Italian friendship increasing in potency. The Commonwealth of Australia was added in 2017 due to the nationality of the President of the Union increasing relations with Australia. The flag of the People's Republic of China was replaced with the State of Japan in 2020 due to the actions of China against the Provincial Union during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Governing



Citizens
The National Government and the National Department of the Sovereign State is extremely overwhelmed on the citizen level, the State Department often utilises personnel on the local levels in order to promote the use of localised resources.

Municipalities
The Department of the Sovereign State uses subordinate agencies to communicate with local governments, this is used to prevent the aspect of having either an overly powerful national government or having an overwhelmed State Department dealing with billions of individuals.

Counties
The Department of the Sovereign State rarely intervenes with county level agencies. The DoS generally deals with major agencies and involvements.

Provinces
The DoS is unable to speak directly to the provinces due to the regional level governments who often overshadow the National Government, due to this, the National Government speaks directly to the regional governments and afterwards they will forward the info to the provincial governments.

Regions
The DoS speaks directly to the regional governments the most, the National Government uses the regional governments to communicate and utilise the provincial governments and below. The Department of the Sovereign State communicates with the regional governments more than any other part of the government in the nation.

National
The Department of the Sovereign State advocates with the National Government frequently and is the senior representative department of the Provincial Union and the National Government, for this reason, the Provincial Union is considered heavily influenced by the DoS

National Politics



Emigration
The Department of the Sovereign State has often been considered extremely strict in emigration. Old laws have been known to block out individuals departing the nation, with the exception of the tourism industry.

Internal Relations
The National Government lacks major relations with the Provinces and especially with the citizens primarily because the government tries to keep out of the business of the citizens and majorly avoids intervening with the daily lives of its subordinates.

Tourism
Tourism is the most heavily enforced branch of the Department of the Sovereign State, the nation prides itself on its tourism industry. The DoS also keeps a very close eye on the tourists who are in the nation with major SEAS posts in major tourism hotspots including but not limited to; Rives de Luxe, Los Dominigues, and Reyon, these are also major locations due to the adjacency to the North American continent, which has major attributes of being immigration heavy.

Disaster Relief
The most common form of national interference is disaster relief to the provinces, this being due to the amount of caring the National Government has towards the citizens and their homes. This has earned major commendation by the international community, however the apathy of the Provincial Union towards other nations has resulted in some criticism as well.

International Politics



International Relations
The relationship the Provincial Union has with other nations is a delicate one and in that, it is very imperative that the Department of the Sovereign State maintains relations between the nation and the rest of the international community.

Immigration
The Provincial Union is very strict on regards to the immigration policy and holds great pride in the knowledge that the people of the Provincial Union are safe from outside threats.

Refugees
The refugee policy relies on an old code known as "Zero In, Zero Out" which was established by President Freeman in 2007. Due to policy, the Provincial Union allows no individuals to enter the Provincial Union on refugee status, regardless of Disaster Relief.

Tourism
Tourists leaving the Provincial Union have a lot of forms to fill out, through these forms, it assures that two things happen, first the international community cannot accuse the Provincial Union of negligence and secondly, the Provincial Union and the DIS at any point in time can trace down illegal tourists from the Provincial Union. Historically, and unpopularly, the Provincial Union has protected those who are incarcerated in foreign nations, many times this being due to 'absurd' laws, as stated by a large group of tourists from the Provincial Union.

Disaster Relief
The Provincial Union in a 2015 study by the United Nations General Assembly had shown that the Provincial Union is rated as the least spending first world nation on Disaster Relief and International Relief. The Provincial Union has since changed this protocol as President Crawford has made a firm statement that she believes International Assistance can help increase the amount of allies available to 'our call'.

"The Department of Health will always protect and service the citizens of the Provincial Union no matter what the scenario"

History



Origin
The DoH was established in joint with the DoJ to replace the Ministry of Safety in 1692.

Health Coverage



Citizens
The Department of Health and Human Services covers the nation as a whole and does not influence individual civilians alone. The National Department of Health and Human Services uses its authority in a hierarchical state, provincial governments pulls authority from regional governments and from the National Government.

Municipalities
Municipal governments run health services independently and operate using standards and regulations from the National Government and the National Department of Health and Human Services.

Counties
Counties are unaffected by the National Government, except for National Laws and Regulations. Provincial governments regulate the county health services.

Provinces
The Department of Health and Human Services is one of the few departments in the National Government which regularly influences and moderates provincial governments directly.

Regions
The National Department of Health and Human Services is often overlooked by the National Government due to its lack of influenced civilians.

National
The Department of Health and Human Services affects the entire nation by directing National health programs and moderates all human services, while being a National Government department, the Department of Health and Human Services generally influences lower level governments rather than National focus.

Legislative Branch



How it is all put together

Positions in National Legislation

Total of 158 Provinces

Parliamentary Seats
500 Chairs
200 Judicial Chairs
200 Civilian Representatives
100 Executive Chairs
Parliament is National Level legislation working for the well-being of the Nation

Parliamentary seats are nominated through the King and confirmed by the Supreme Court.
The most common method:
Parliamentary seats can also be nominated by an incumbent for their own successor, as long as the King and the Supreme Court do not oppose, if either do then the authority falls back on the King.



Congressional Seats
Congressional Chambers are local level working for the good of the Provinces.

House of Representatives
3,500 Representatives

Senate

Seats
320 Senators

2 Representatives from each Province, 2 from the Capital in the Pacific, 2 from the Largest City in the Atlantic

Both Senate and the House of Representatives are considered Provincial level officials

Positions in the National Judiciary Chamber

Parliament falls under the National Level

The National Legislative Assembly is an Assembly comprised of all members of Congress and Parliament and is where they propose new ideas for legislation, a Bill does not need to go through here to be passed into Law.


For most Bills to pass they require a majority, the following shows what the minimum majority numbers are for each chamber;
Provincial: 80
House: 1,751
Senate: 161
Parliament: 251
High Council: 5

Any tie will be decided by the Senior Member of each respective Chamber;
Provincial: Vice President of the Provincial Union
House: Chairman of the House
Senate: President of the Senate
Parliament: Chairman of Parliament

Doctrines require a two-thirds majority to pass as they are Constitutional changes while the High Council must unanimously agree.

The following are the minimum numbers to achieve a two-thirds vote in Congress and Parliament;
Provincial: 105
House: 2,334
Senate: 214
Parliament: 334
High Council: Unanimous

Additionally, voters may choose to vote Present or be Absent to the vote altogether, in both cases the majority shall be adjusted to fit the new number of voters.

A prominent example of this happening is with the High Council Restructure Doctrine which is the first bill in years to have House members refusing to vote on it and choosing instead to be counted as Present

Most laws require only a majority to pass, however major bills such as ‘rights changes’ or diplomatic changes, e.g. Declarations of War or Treaties, require over 2/3 from all chambers to pass. All Doctrines require 2/3 majority.

If a vote fails, it can be proposed again during the next Congressional Session; the next year. Additional votes will be stacked on the dispatch as the newest on top of the older votes.

Frontal View of the Supreme Court in the Capital Province
The Seven Candles can be seen above the pillars, they are
meant to represent the Seven Virtues and Justices
(c. 2017)

The Supreme Court of the Provincial Union is the Supreme Judicial Authority and Court over the Provincial Union.

Mission



The mission statement of the Supreme Court is as follows:

"We will always stand for Justice and Truth, and we will guide our colleagues to do the same"

History



Origin
The Supreme Court was established during the reform of the National Government in admiration to the style of the United States Government which had formed a Supreme Court in a similar way.

Building
The building was built with the style of ancient Roman and Hellenic Architecture in mind. The inside of the building is expansive with the main room in the centre and the Justices' Chamber behind it. The Justices' Chamber can be shaped from the outside due to the roof being elevated, the main room can be shaped from the Rotunda seen in the middle of the building.

There are Seven Lanterns in the front of the building above the pillars/windows which are meant to represent the Seven Virtues, from left to right: Humilitas (Humility), Industria (Diligence), Patientia (Patience), Caritas (Charity), Temperantia (Temperance), Castitas (Chastity), and Humanitas (Kindness). Each Lantern has the virtue inscribed in Latin in the left half of the circle and in Hebrew in the right half.

Constitutional Rulings



People of the Provincial Union vs. the Provincial Union
Perhaps the most well known and historic ruling in the recent history of the Supreme Court of the Provincial Union following the passage of the Official Firearm Discontinuation Act in 1966. The Official Firearm Discontinuation Act was passed in an attempt to end the constant violence nationwide during the Democratic-Republican War, however the attempt was not successful as when law-abiding citizens turned in their weapons to their provinces they were left unarmed against criminal threats and crime quickly rose.

This ruling came in 1972 after 6 years of no success in preventing violent crimes, a large amount of petitions and court cases throughout the country resulted in the mass of them being sent to the Supreme Court for ruling. On the 18th day of August, 1972; the following was issued: "On this 18th day of August in the Year of Our Lord, 1972, we, the Supreme Court of the Provincial Union have determined that the Article of Legislation known as the Official Firearm Discontinuation Act is Unconstitutional and shall not be enforced". In a stunning 7-2 decision, the Supreme Court of the Provincial Union determined the Legislation to ban firearms nationwide to be Unconstitutional.

National Congress vs. The King
One of the most well known cases in the history of the Supreme Court is the 5-4 ruling in favour of the King's Order to Ban Political Parties in 1971.

People vs. Region of Fidalise
In 1989 the Region of Fidalise refused to release dozens of prisoners held from several provinces despite being pressured by the National Government to do so. After the regional supreme court refused to hear the case it was taken to the Supreme Court of the Provincial Union where after days of debate the Supreme Court determined the following: "Individuals being held for trivial violations of the law that are not otherwise illegal in their home provinces shall be returned to their home provinces". This 5-4 ruling was one of the leading causes of Fidalise Secession in the Atlantic War for Independence.

Human Rights Rulings



People of Zutulamba vs. Region of Jutanga
In 1899 when the Region of Jutanga was assimilated from the British Empire there was much conflict as to the ownership of slaves and free labour. The Supreme Court of the Provincial Union quickly became involved as the Slaves in the region were being persecuted for their participation in the case. The Region would often 'import', generally through forceful means, e.g. kidnapping, slaves to the Region. The slavery was considered indiscriminate as it was varying races and the slaveholders were also of varying races. The Supreme Court in a unanimous vote of 7-0 determined that these actions were completely illegal and Unconstitutional.

Michael McKinley vs. Province of Pauda
In 1920 during the time of major Irish Independence movements in the United Kingdom, a large amount of Irish immigrants were moving to the Provincial Union and mostly to the Province of Pauda. One Irishman was in the Pauda province and was experiencing great harassment by locals and citizens who refused to recognise Irish in the Province. He was often blocked from opening businesses and real estate opportunities because he was not yet a citizen. He pushed the local Courts who all refused to hear the case and the Regional Supreme Court refused to recognise him as he was not yet a citizen. The Supreme Court of the Provincial Union accepted to hear the case and determined in a 4-3 ruling that "permanent residents are to be allowed similar, but not the same, basic rights as a Citizen of the Provincial Union".



Addendum
There are 8 Under-Justices, officially known as "Associate Justices" and 1 Chief Justice. One law regarding Justices is that none can hold any political office prior to achieving the position of Justice. A major difference from the Provincial Union and other systems is that the Chief Justice is the member with the highest tenure and not a chosen successor. Table is sorted by tenure, Chief Justice always has the longest, unless a Constitutional Bypass occurs. The Smaller text under the Chief Justice's Assumed Chair date is the date of ascension to Chief Justice.

Inside of a Passport of the Provincial Union



Cover of the Passport of the Provincial Union

The State Entry Administration, also known as the State Entry and Admissions Services, coining the abbreviation SEAS [/sēs/], organises and patrols the nation's immigration and likewise.

Mission



The mission statement of the State Entry Administration is as follows:

"The State Entry and Admissions Services, or 'SEAS', is dedicated to moderating and patrolling the flow of immigrants into our esteemed nation and barring those who may hurt our country"

History



Origin
SEAS was originally established to counter the sudden influx of Great War immigrants which generally resulted in more hostile political attacks against legal nationals trying to prevent the collapse of the Provincial Union.

Operations



Pacific Oceanic Territory
The Pacific Ocean has always been the most secluded territory in the Provincial Union with an almost zero immigration rate, breaking the zero rate for multiple years throughout the history

Atlantic Oceanic Territory
The Atlantic Ocean has been known to be extremely open to immigrants, however has not had the necessity to do so as most immigrants were from the European Continent. Since the early 21st Century however, there has been a massive decrease in immigrants to the Atlantic Oceanic States following mass betrayal by the Atlantic Oceanic Militia which was almost completely composed of immigrants.

Indian Oceanic Territory
The Indian Oceanic Territory has strongly accepted immigrants especially from the Middle East in specific areas. These areas where the immigrants go are often more secluded and blocked off from the remaining portion of the country.

Organisation



Immigration Laws
Since the late 20th Century immigration laws have begun being shadowed by the National Law, prior to that, the immigration laws were primarily managed by Regional Law and Provincial Law which was strict in various areas and lenient in others. This led to major immigration segregation, and major lacking of militias in areas where immigration is prominent. Since the law was corrected, the immigration policy has been uniform, and has actually been much more strict and very little immigration has been allowed.

Tourism
SEAS holds a very important and valuable role in the tourism industry, without tourism the nation's economy would be split by a major fraction of itself.

Refugees
The National Law regarding refugee immigration is set to a policy put in place in 2007 by President and now Commander in Chief Robert Freeman, called the "Zero in, Zero out" Policy. This policy originally implied that no immigration nor emigration will be allowed in the Provincial Union, however in 2012, then President Joseph Neideringhart repealed the policy with exceptions, one of those being refugees, meaning no refugee is to be accepted in the Provincial Union.

Current Border Restrictions



Personal Travel
Currently, all immigration and emigration is open under the following conditions:

Required documents
Passport from an eligible state.

Process
Upon submission of the primary application, the applicant will be required to quarantine for at least 2 weeks while tests are conducted to determine if the member has any prohibited diseases.

Currently any and all contagious illnesses will disqualify members from entry.

Internal provinces will not be accepting foreign visitation at this time.

Vaccinations of Citizens
Citizens planning to travel abroad are not required to be vaccinated prior to travel, however anyone trying to enter the borders who tests positive for the virus shall not be allowed to enter, regardless of quarantine status and must reapply after at least 45 days.

Tourism
As of 5 November, 2022, the National Government has authorised Nationals of the Provincial Union to travel to other nations for the purpose of tourism. SEAS has produced a limited list of nations authorised for tourism and temporary travel.

Commercial and Industrial
Currently all shipping in and out of the Provincial Union is restricted per regulations instituted by the Departmental Ministry of Commerce.

All shipping will be scanned and checked for pathogens and other possible dangers. The COVID-19 Pandemic will change the border process indefinitely.

United Disaster Relief (UDR) is a subsidiary agency of the Department of Health which focuses around relieving national and international disasters and incidents.

Mission



The mission statement of United Disaster Relief is as follows:

"United Disaster Relief works always to diminish poverty and damages that may have been caused by natural disasters or otherwise."

History



Origin
The DoH was established in joint with the DoJ to replace the Ministry of Safety in 1692. United Disaster Relief was established as part of the Department of Health in 1943 to assist suffering nations damaged badly during the Great Patriotic War, aka WW2.

Domestic Relief



Municipalities
The United Disaster Relief provides support whenever a major catastrophe occurs in the Provincial Union, however, local disaster reliefs are generally the ones to react on a local level

Counties
As applies to municipalities, the United Disaster Relief generally handles major catastrophes that affect large masses of people, generally something which can be handled on a county scale is considered small enough to be reviewed and dismissed by the United Disaster Relief.

Provinces
Provinces receive the most assistance from the United Disaster Relief as whenever something so major affects the entirety of the Province, it is immediately taken into the hands of the regional disaster relief and generally followed by seizure of custody by the United Disaster Relief.

Regions
Any time a Region is completely affected by a catastrophe or event, the United Disaster Relief immediately gets involved as it is on a large enough scale which may yield major numbers of casualties and damage to the National Government and its structure.

National
The United Disaster Relief handles any and all catastrophes which may affect the entirety of the Nation as a whole and sometimes can see contributions from localised centres to assist in recovery following a major national disaster. The most recent national disaster was the Dave Barrett Jones Building Collapse, following a terrorist bombing of the building at the Security Centre on the 3rd Floor.

The United Provincial Army Peacekeeping Corps (U.P.A.P.C.) also known as the Peacekeepers, are a well known international peacekeeping group utilised by the Provincial Union to enforce peace through diminishing poverty and policing actions.

Their most recent operation is currently to assist in India to maintain peace and diminish poverty. Their primary objective is to bring food and health to areas they are assigned.

Mission



The Mission of the United Provincial Peacekeeping Corps is to calm the world and do it one step at a time, according to their motto.

History



Origin
The Peacekeepers were initially established in order to maintain peace and order in areas of dense military presence, whether Provincial, National, or foreign. The Peacekeepers later became known widely for their non-violent methods of policing.

Operations



Middle East
The Provincial Union only holds Peacekeepers in India and Jordan, Jordan is used as a forward operating base to Israel for protection from Hamas and is primarily utilised by the Army and Air Force, but does have many Peacekeeping Forces stationed. Peacekeepers in India are very prominent as they are one of the most abundant foreign military force in the area their primary objective being to diminish poverty and persecutions.

India

Jordan
Peacekeepers are currently in Jordan in an effort to maintain the peace in neighbouring nations, the Provincial Union has often tried to stay out of the Middle East, however recent activities have proven to increase tensions.

Europe
Peacekeeping Forces have been stationed in European Nations such as France, Italy, Germany, United Kingdom, and Spain, these reasons were originally to support to governmental regime in charge, however, due to hostilities by the governments themselves, Peacekeepers have been withdrawn from all but France and Italy and serve the primary objective of protecting innocent civilians from terrorism or major felonious threats. Their presence is believed to have indirectly averted immigrant threats and others who wish to hurt the nation. Many believe this true as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has avoided confrontations with the Provincial Union, and many other extremist groups from several continents have displayed fear in the face of the Provincial Union.

Russia
Peacekeepers were proposed to be sent to Ukraine, however due to complications with the relationship of the Provincial Union and Russia, it was decided to remain completely neutral in the conflict.

On 25 June 2023, the Russian Government called the Provincial Union to assist in the defence of Moscow from an armed rebellion led by the Wagner Group. The Provincial Union responded with an option to deploy peacekeepers to the region, however the leadership of the Peacekeepers has apparently refused the option due to the high risk posed against anyone deployed to the region.

Oceania
Peacekeeping Forces have never been stationed in the Oceania Continent, however plenty reservists reside in the adjacent provinces.

North Africa
Peacekeepers in North Africa have avoided combat and influence completely due to the constant threat of extremist attacks, while Peacekeepers were, in fact, once in Libya, Egypt, and Sudan, they have not been stationed in those areas since 2011.

Sub-Saharan Africa
Throughout South Africa Peacekeepers have been stationed in many places, often to bring a presence of hope and encouragement, and always have brought food and water to people in need. The Peacekeepers in South Africa have defined what it means to be a Peacekeeper.
South Africa
Peacekeepers are now moving into South Africa, the Provincial Union has not been to South Africa since the mid to late 20th century. Recently due to white land eviction, Peacekeepers have moved into South Africa

North Asia
Peacekeepers have been reported throughout north China and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea primarily to help thaw hostilities between the United Nations and Socialist States. Peacekeepers, if any, are likely in a very small amount in Korea DPR and possibly to deter the United States further from instigating a war due to the threat of killing non-violent allied troops.

South Asia
To this day, the Peacekeepers are more prominent in India. Peacekeeping Forces were moved to India to accomplish two primary objectives, the first being to diminish poverty, and the second to prevent religious persecution of Indian Muslims, this action has greatly affected relations with Islam groups throughout the world and many Muslim Countries, including Iran, Iraq, and Syria.

India
The Provincial Union has been in India since 2016 and is currently working to maintain peace. The other objective of the Provincial Union is to prevent poverty in India and also to prevent persecution of minorities in India.

Hong Kong
Peacekeepers have been approved to move into Hong Kong to prevent human rights violations, however have not yet been deployed to the region due to the stop movement orders in place for the Armed Forces.

Pacific Oceanic Territory
The Peacekeepers have never been deployed to serve in the Pacific Ocean since establishment.

Atlantic Oceanic Territory
The Peacekeepers have only served in the Atlantic Ocean for a few years following both Atlantic Wars for Independence.

Indian Oceanic Territory
Peacekeepers have served in the Indian Ocean on multiple occasions in order to support soldiers and allies in combat in the Middle East.

Organisation



Uniforms
The Peacekeepers are widely known worldwide for their heavily notable White Peacekeeper Combat Attire (W.P.C.A.) which features a completely white combat armour and fatigues. This was established in 2004 as an effort to make the Peacekeepers more distinct from infantry, this change, referenced by foreign nations, was immediately associated with prevention of impurities and 'dirt' which prompted in 2009 for the King to make the very distinct statement; "It is the purpose of these white uniforms to show us who has shed blood and deserve prosecution for murder, they are peacekeepers, not soldiers" resulting in heavy commendation by the international community. They have also earned the nickname of the White Peacekeepers. The uniform also originated from the old Army Winter ACUs.

Combat
The Peacekeepers, since 2007, have not seen any major combat in the world, this also was attributed to to 2004 uniform change which promoted non-violent and non-lethal tactics over ones resulting in more blood and violence.

Frontal View of the King Jackson Military Centre

Historically the army has served little to no use to the United Provincial Armed Forces when serving on the defensive side, primarily because after the 1500s the Provincial Union fully migrated to sea and stayed on island separated from the rest of the world and avoided any more altercations with other nations who may serve as a threat. The historically pugnacious attribute of the United Provincial Army has also served greatly against them as they have been known for picking fights with countries who have done absolutely nothing to prompt war, however the Army felt belligerent enough to start a war. Often times in the wars started by the United Provincial Army the victor came quick and easy, that being the United Provincial Army as the massive threat would intimidate many armies into collapse long before war had even begun. The structure of the United Provincial Army comes to easy understanding with its name, the Army is structured by conjoining the forces of all the armies of each province into one national army which serves as the force to protect the country on the ground, or to invade another. Since the Army has been formed for antiquity there is no legitimate founding date to be recorded.

Libya
Personnel under the Army Special Operations Command had been stationed in the country of Jordan for nearly 20 years prior to the conflict, however were never called upon by US or NATO forces until 12 September 2012.

On the night of 11 September 2012, a Libyan group called Ansar al-Sharia attacked two US compounds in Benghazi. US forces successfully repelled the enemy forces until the morning hours of 12 September 2012. At some time around 01:30, the United Provincial Army in Jordan received an urgent "call to arms" from "a classified American compound in Libya" as the report stated. By 02:00, the message was verified by the Armed Forces as likely being from a US Embassy in Benghazi, the 45th ASO Battalion in Sevra immediately authorised the forward deployment of 2 special units. An ITF and CSRU arrived in Benghazi by 05:45 and coordinated with Libyan Forces to be transported to the besieged compound. However, some difficulty did arise initially as US forces did not often pay in full for usage of Libyan Forces and transportation, this problem was quickly resolved by translators brought along to coordinate with locals who guaranteed payment, along with the reputation of the Provincial Union. Libyan Forces then transported ITF and CSRU personnel to the US Consulate that was originally attacked, however upon arrival were told by locals that the Consulate had already been abandoned by US forces and the remaining forces were under siege only 2 kilometres away. The ITF forces then began pushing towards the CIA Compound as CSRU cleared the Consulate compound area, however never completed the mission as locals in the area consistently interfered and attempted to deter CSRU personnel due to the nature of the area being under hostile control.

By 06:15, the ITF arrived at the CIA Compound amid silence and no gunfire. However, the silence was eventually broken by Libyan Forces who attempted to communicate with US Forces which led to confusion to the nature of the force, US Forces raised weapons at the ITF and local force due to the lack of understanding. "Shouting matches" quickly ensued as US Forces attempted to get the Libyan Forces to speak clear English, while the Libyan Forces were attempting to speak Arabic to the translators with the ITF, it was then escalated as the ITF began attempting to silence the Libyan Forces in English and Arabic leading to the US Forces hearing a combination of mixed, but evidently aggressive, Arabic shouting and constant yelling of "Shut up" directed at the Libyan Forces. US and Libyan Forces reportedly misunderstood the English yelling as coming from within the compound. The altercation ended with US Forces shouting "Do you speak English?" and the ITF responding with "Yes! Yes! We speak English! Don't Shoot!" which was audible over the shouting of both sides.

Upon confirmation of the allegiance of the ITF and Libyan Forces, US Forces met the ITF on the ground and further confusion arose to the national origin of the ITF as accents varied among the Force. The ITF then secured the compound and told US Forces to prepare for extraction as they waited for CSRU to arrive. Upon arrival of CSRU around 06:45, the remaining US Forces were extracted and taken to the Benghazi Airport. While CSRU were with US personnel in the Benghazi Airport, the ITF cleared the compound successfully of any remaining sensitive material or remaining personnel and by 08:00, departed the compound and returned to the airport. Personnel were flown out on the aircraft they flew in on and by 11:00, all UPA personnel had returned to Jordan unharmed.

Only minor fighting occurred and resulted in no harm to ITF or CSRU personnel. Additionally, involvement of the United Provincial Armed Forces is considered a safeguarded secret and only known to the Nation, great efforts were made to keep the knowledge out of the United States, Libya, and any nation which may use it to justify a strike against the Provincial Union or its assets.

Attack on the Dave Barrett Jones Building and Subsequent Collapse
On 19 December 2014, a man walked into the Dave Barrett Jones (DBJ) Building in the Capital Downtown and exited after about 10 minutes, however he had left behind a large bag. Within the large bag was an improvised explosive device which the man had likely intended for the lobby so as to cause the most damage to the building, however when security personnel noticed the unaccompanied bag they had it moved to the Security Centre on the 3rd Floor of the building. At some point after being moved to the Security Centre, the device detonated and killed at least 200 people, the building was then evacuated successfully. However by 5:00, the foundations of the building had begun to fail, as they were originally constructed in 1938, and the building collapsed, killing nearly 200 more people. Fortunately, no one was authorised reentry into the building therefore it was mostly empty with the exception of emergency services and people on the streets. In total 424 people were killed in the attack.

Immediately following the attack, the United Provincial Army was notified and mobilised to the attack site. First to respond was the SRU who immediately pushed to the building and began clearing the entire area of civilians and casualties. For the next several days, the SRU would conduct a non-stop mission in and out of the DBJ resulting in many of the servicemembers being overwhelmingly fatigued by the conclusion of the rescue. By 23 December, the building was completely cleared and the SRU had returned to base, the United Provincial Army had paid for volunteers and participating servicemembers to be transported a hotel of their choosing, if they were unconscious then the location would be decided by peers in good standing with the individual, alternatively they would be transported home.

When the DBJ collapsed on 25 December 2014, the SRU was recalled to the scene to attempt to recover more people, however due to the nature of how much work was done only days prior and injuries sustained during the rescue efforts, most were unable to perform fully and the entirety of the United Provincial Army based in the Capital Joint Base was recalled to assist in the rescue efforts. The National Government referred to the response as a "crucial and defining moment in the history of cooperative and joint operations in the United Provincial Army" due to the nature of so many provinces throughout the Nation sending their armies to assist.

Successful rescues after the initial attack were 1,143, successful rescues from the collapse were 118.

The attack resulted in the Provincial Union intervening in the Syrian Civil War due to the attack being committed by a member of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War
On 27 September 2020, Azerbaijan began occupying parts of Nagorno-Karabakh, an independent region of ethnic Armenians between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Armenia had not called the Provincial Union to arms, therefore the conflict was endured solely by Armenia until 7 October when a missile strike launched by Azerbaijan struck the Arzni Joint Base in Yerevan, killing 4 servicemembers; PFC. Daniel Frisch, Cpl. Kenneth Lowe, PFC. Jacob Madison, and PFC. Samantha Greene. The strike resulted in Congress declaring War on Azerbaijan on 8 October 2020, however difficulties arose due to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic and resulted in a limited deployability and limited scale of attacks.

Throughout the conflict, the ITF was also responsible for rescuing, or securing routes to rescue, civilians in the region. This mission would traditionally be handled by a CSRU, however no new forces could be flown in during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Initially, only the Scouts and Rangers were deployed to the warring region in order to collect intelligence and conduct guerilla warfare. The mission was initially successful as it caused major disorganisation within the Azeri Forces, however the mission was terminated early due to limited resources and ammunition.

The UPAF ARU was the only involved unit that was not on the ground. Arzni AB does not have any reconnaissance aircraft and therefore relied on the 42nd AFSO Squadron from the Sevra Provincial Airbase. The ARU successfully collected aerial intelligence throughout the conflict and relayed critical information to forces on the ground.

The UPAF CCU was responsible for the targeting of the temporary military locations established by the Azeri Forces in and around Nagorno-Karabakh, however the mission was terminated as resources diminished.

The only forces still active by the end of the War were the ITF and ARU as they did not rely heavily on local resources. The conflict has resulted in a change of policy which now states that War has priority over all other Orders, including Orders to secure the Nation as the Border Closure Ordinance was.

2023 Titan Submersible Incident
On 18 June 2023, a submersible belonging to the Oceangate corporation was lost with 5 passengers onboard, initially only US and Canadian naval forces went to the site despite the Provincial Union offering assistance, the offer was refused by the United States. Permission was not required to intervene, however out of respect to the wishes of the involved countries, the United Provincial Navy decided to remain uninvolved. The United Provincial Navy dispatched a Search and Rescue force along with a small flotilla to the location in case the US or Canada required assistance. However on 22 June, an undisclosed US Coast Guard officer asked UPN Admiral Frank Menetti for assistance, the Search and Rescue units were immediately deployed. Within hours of being deployed, a deep sea rescue submersible operated by the 61st UPMC Battalion S&R discovered signs of wreckage and reported it to the nearby US and Canadian forces.

Upon confirmation of the nature of the discovered debris, the flotilla returned to the Poqu Provincial Joint Base.

placeholder

The United Marshal Service, also known as the Union Marshal Service or just the Marshals, is a National Law Enforcement Agency which focuses on conducting policing actions on the National level where the DIS cannot, it often works aside the DIS to investigate terrorism and similar.

Mission



The mission statement of the National Marshal Service is as follows:

"We will protect this nation, but most importantly we will protect the people from those who wish to hurt or manipulate them"

History



Origin
The Marshal Service was established to oversee National events and law enforcement violations. It was also established to protect National Government Officials prior to the Royal Protection Agency and the Presidential Protection Services, they still protect National Government Officials who have no specific protection service.

Operational Districts



Pacific Oceanic Territory

Atlantic Oceanic Territory

Indian Oceanic Territory
The Marshals have seen the most action within the boundaries of the Indian Ocean, primarily with the threat of pirates off the African continent threatening nationals or internationals on board vessels in which they have attempted to hijack. Another major operation is the high presence of human trafficking and illegal pornography distribution throughout the Indian Ocean.

Operations



Drug Trafficking
The most recognisable mission of the Marshals is to end Drug Trafficking in the Provincial Union. The Marshals work heavily with SEAS and the United Provincial Navy to protect the people from illegal items being trafficked to, from, or through the Nation.

Since the COVID-19 Pandemic, most operations of the Marshals regarding Drug Trafficking have been domestic as international travel was nearly impossible.

Human Trafficking
The mission to end Human Trafficking plays a major role in the Union Marshal Service. The Marshals actively hunt human trafficking locations and shut them down and bring manipulators and abusers to justice.

Human Trafficking is the most common cause for National-level law enforcement intervening in local activities as local authorities are not trusted with ending the issue due to possible corruption or insufficient resources.

Underage Human Trafficking

Illegal Immigration

Illicit Internet Activities

Fortunately, no one was authorised reentry into the building therefore it was mostly empty with the exception of emergency services and people on the streets. In total 424 people were killed in the attack.

The United Marshal Service at the Capital was immediately notified and launched an investigation the same day. By January, they had identified the suspect however could not track him as it appeared that he had fled the province and had traveled without being identified, however he had never departed the Capital. The manhunt lasted until April when it was discovered that he was still in the Capital and Marshals began a door-to-door effort to find him, he was discovered in Valkyrie Bay living under the name "Ian Jakal".

Piracy

The International Research Coalition of Medicine / Coalition Internationale de Recherche en Médecine is a non-UN group dedicated to assisting nations worldwide who are experiencing a pandemic or epidemic of any type.

Mission



The mission statement of the IRCoM is as follows:

"An organisation dedicated to the unbiased support of needing and plagued nations for the good of humanity"

History



Origin
IRCoM was created because the Provincial Union noted the bias of the World Health Organisation as affecting countries in need due to their political agenda labelling them as being unnecessary. The WHO had been taking bribery as a form of payment for assistance in other nations, and in some it would target only certain ethnic peoples. The IRCoM aims to eliminate that bias by assisting all people in need, aside from those already being assisted by the World Health Organisation or other capable organisation.

COVID-19



Bases of Operations
As of Mid-April, 2020, the primary Base of Operations for the IRCoM is in Los Dominigues, an Independent City of the Provincial Union. Other nations are using city buildings and hospitals as a temporary outpost.

Programs
The IRCoM presently hosts the world's second largest Pandemic Relief effort, only behind the W.H.O. which works within all U.N. member states. The Pandemic Relief Corps of the IRCoM is presently working heavily to assist people around the world affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Relief efforts are being saved for nations 'overlooked' by the W.H.O., and currently India, Russia, and many Eastern European/Indochinese nations are being supported by the IRCoM Pandemic Relief Corps.

Progress
The IRCoM has made significant progress to help millions around the world, including working together with the Peacekeepers in India.

Treatments
IRCoM has approved of three highly successful treatments for the COVID-19 which have been shown to mitigate even the most extreme of symptoms, however no official vaccine has been found and since COVID-19 is a viral disease it cannot be cured once infected.

Vaccinations
IRCoM has not approved any official vaccination yet, and presently the IRCoM is pending vaccination trials. The primary candidate for the IRCoM endorsed vaccine is currently being manufactured and tested by the Regium Academia Medical Institute and RedMed Corporation in the Provincial Union. It has also been approved for testing in the Russian Federation, the Republic of Italy, and as of 3 January, 2021; the French Republic.

In early March of 2021; the RedMed Corporation Vaccine was reported to have failed longevity tests where it showed that 4 months after taking the vaccine it would no longer be effective.

The IRCoM has announced on 12 April, 2021 that it has begun trials on a vaccine created by an undisclosed health organisation in the South Pacific, the vaccine presented is currently 98% effective with minimal side effects on humans.

On 18 April, 2021; the IRCoM has announced that the Vaccine in trials was created by GentraTech, a large scale pharmaceutical company in the South Pacific which specialises in vaccines and general drug treatments for viral diseases.

As of 26 April, 2021; the Vaccine by GentraTech has been confirmed to be mostly asymptomatic causing only 'flulike symptoms' within the first weeks of vaccination, the vaccine currently only protects against the most known strain.

Outside vaccines are not presently being considered due to the wide distrust within the Provincial Union regarding protein displacement/replacement serums caused by the "2008 Protein Manipulation Incident"

On the 29th of June, 2021, the IRCoM approved the vaccine by GentraTech to be utilised and handed over to member states.

On the 5th of July, 2021, several IRCoM officials who were quarantined following voluntary direct exposure, remained healthy despite having no means of protection against the virus.

On the 9th of July, 2021, several members volunteered to be vaccinated and exposed directly to a room filled with contaminated air.

On the 14th of July, 2021, Brazil became the first member state to approve local usage of the GentraTech vaccine.

On the 20th of July, 2021, Armenia, Russia, and Iran approved local usage of the GentraTech vaccine.

On the 21st of July, 2021, South Sudan and South Africa approved local usage of the GentraTech vaccine.

On the 26th of July, 2021, the Philippines approved local usage of the GentraTech vaccine

On the 28th of July, 2021, Japan approved local usage of the GentraTech vaccine, however still advised against it for Olympic Athletes.

On the 29th of July, 2021, it was determined that the GentraTech vaccine retains over 80% effectiveness against the newest variants of COVID-19, including the Delta variant.

On the 30th of July, 2021, the members that volunteered for exposure on the 9th remain unafflicted by COVID-19 and all tests have shown negative.

As of the 4th of August, 2021, post-mortem studies of vaccinated individuals who died from non-medical circumstances (e.g. car accidents, acts of God) have shown no signs of vaccine related ailments or other medical complications.

On the 7th of August, 2021, the National Government of the has expressed its intent to approve the GentraTech vaccine for use in the Provincial Union by the end of the year.

On the 9th of August, 2021, the European Union approved local usage of the GentraTech vaccine.

On the 11th of August, 2021, the United States has approved local usage of the GentraTech vaccine.

On the 18th of August, 2021, Australia has approved local usage of the GentraTech vaccine.

On the 29th of August, 2021, several African nations have approved the usage of the GentraTech vaccine.

On the 4th of September, 2021, exports of the GentraTech vaccine from Provincial Union territory was approved.

On the 20th of September, 2021, the first people in the Provincial Union to be vaccinated are workers for the IRCoM.

As of the 27th of September, 2021, over ten million doses of the GentraTech vaccine have been issued and/or utilised.

As of 27 October, 2022, the National Government announced that at least 37% of the adult population of the Provincial Union has been vaccinated.

On 27 February, 2023, the National Government stated that less than 20% of National Government employees (United Provincial Armed Forces included) are vaccinated for COVID-19.

Aid



Locations
Primary set up locations are listed below, the IRCoM is currently working to set up medical campuses for further assistance worldwide.

People
The IRCoM has assisted millions worldwide, including those who are not infected with COVID-19.

Relief Efforts



COVID-19
The IRCoM was founded due to the lack of effort by the WHO during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020.

Members



Overall
Membership in IRCoM is expected to fluctuate as the need for an international health organisation fluctuates, these changes are expected and will not affect the IRCoM negatively, nations are free to join/contribute and leave as they please with no major formal documentation through legislation needed, founding members are asked to remain with the coalition, however.

Grand Palace



Origin and Overview

Architecture
The current design of the Grand Palace was made with a great amount of western influence. The building was designed by Sir Julius Johansson, the son of two Swedish immigrants to the Provincial Union.

The Grand Palace is notably smaller than most government buildings around the world, due to its placement on unstable and soft ground, being only three stories tall. The Grand Palace was built using mostly sandstone collected from the rest of the Capital Island with few resources being imported from outside countries.

Central Rotunda

East Wing

West Wing

Grand Palace Residence



Origin and Overview
The Main Building of the Grand Palace served as the primary residence for the Royal Family until 1987 when King Jackson proposed the conversion of the Main Building into a landmark and the construction of a Residence Building.

The Residence is replica of the main building but with notable differences such as the lack of a rotunda.

The Residence is off limits to civilians without proper cause.

King Alexander

King Alexander (born 6 July 1990) is a Pacifican Royal who currently reigns as the King of the Provincial Union. Being the youngest male child of King Jackson and Queen Magenes, then- Prince Alexander was considered the Heir Presumptive when he was born and when King Jackson stepped down in his favour in 2000 since Prince Alexander was the youngest male, although not the youngest child, of the King and Queen he was coronated as the King of the Provincial Union on 12 November 2000.

King Alexander was born on 6 July 1990 in the Capital City, the method of his conception and birth are currently under question as no official statement has ever been made, and likely never will be, regarding how biological complexities between the King and Queen were able to allow the birth of a child at their age. King Alexander is considered the most powerful man in the world having been so since his coronation in 2000.

Queen Grace

Charlotte Grâce-des-Madeleine Niveaux (born 22 July 1991) is a French Royal who currently reigns as the Queen of the Provincial Union since 25 December 2010, which she attained through Marriage to the King.

Niveaux was born on 22 July 1991 in Paris, the Capital of the French Republic. She was born to a life of relative ease and in a middle class family. Niveaux was born to a rather large family, she is very close to many of her relatives, and they are very proud of her for her ascension to Royalty. Niveaux hasn't had the easiest time as a member of the Royal Family as she was not raised to be a powerful figure, she was raised as a middle child and so did not always receive the most attention in her family. Niveaux is, disputedly, ranked as the World's Second Most Powerful person, second to the King, and the World's Most Powerful Woman, although these titles are challenged on occasion by President Crawford.

Princess Emily

Emily Caroline Abigail (born 4 January 2011) is a French-Pacifican Royal who is currently the oldest Princess of the Provincial Union since 4 January 2011, when she was born to King Alexander and Queen Grace.

General Information



King Alexander (born 6 July, 1990) is a Pacifican Royal who currently reigns as the King of the Provincial Union. Being the youngest male child of King Jackson and Queen Mary, then-Prince Alexander was considered the Heir Presumptive when he was born and when King Jackson stepped down in his favour in 2000 since Prince Alexander was the youngest male, although not the youngest child, of the King and Queen he was coronated as the King of the Provincial Union on 12 November, 2000.

King Alexander was born on 6 July, 1990 in the Capital City, the method of his conception and birth are currently under question as no official statement has ever been made, and likely never will be, regarding how biological complexities between the King and Queen were able to allow the birth of a child at their age. King Alexander is considered the most powerful man in the world having been so since his coronation in 2000.

Early Life



King Alexander was born on 6 July, 1990 in the Royal Hospital of the Grand Palace. King Alexander was born to the King and Queen as their second youngest, he became the heir apparent as he was the youngest male of the Royal Family. King Alexander is of primarily Pacifican ancestry with German-Anglican from his maternal side. He has stated that growing up he held the Duke of Oceania as a close 'younger brother' and valued him as such for making his childhood somewhat more like a childhood. King Alexander has stated that he is a non-denominational Christian, and is "very strong" in his faith.

Education
King Alexander was educated at a local boarding school in the Capital which was only referred to as the Capital Military Academy.

Personal Life



The King has had a very expansive personal life, outlined in self-given hardships to toughen up, King Alexander has worked himself to be a very influential, personable, and relatable person, he currently holds an extremely high approval rating due to his kindness to people. King Alexander has had many personal relationships throughout his years as Royalty, although the Royal Protection Agency has been attributed to be limiting his acquaintances to be people of high stature, power, and authority. King Alexander has many friends of power throughout the world, he is well known to many world leaders and is more well known to leaders of close alliances, his friendships with Donald Trump, Emmanuel Macron, and Boris Johnson are notorious as he had managed to connect the three into a personal alliance. King Alexander also has a very close connection to the Armenian and Italian governments, although he never spoke as to why, he has stated he believes the Armenian government to be stuck in a very difficult spot with no clear escape in sight. His relationship with Armenia has caused great confusion with Turkey as they had believe the Provincial Union to be distant allies until that point, he stated that he felt they were on a neutral, cooperative, agreement.

Another firm example of King Alexander's personability with foreign leaders is his friendship with the Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and Russian leaders, all of whom he has managed to coerce to cooperate. His constant work between the Western and Eastern 'worlds' has led much of the world to greatly appreciate his actions, he has often worked between them to try and keep peace even threatening violence on several occasions should 'either' nation defy his request of peace. This effort of 'interventionism' has caused some to dislike his policies, however he quickly regained the people's trust by immediately reversing his interventionist policies and reverting to isolationism as was prefered by the people. King Alexander once stated that one of his favourite movie quotes, in relation to politics, was one from the movie V for Vendetta, a very unconventional one for a government official, where the quote stated 'the government should fear the people' and the 'people should not fear the government', some officials opposed his statement regarding that, the officials were removed by him in executive moves which earned him much public respect.

King Alexander has been very fond of meeting people in person as he has stated he has a hard time communicating with people on the phone and online, he believes it to be more difficult as he cannot see how a person 'truly' reacts. King Alexander travels often within his 'sphere of influence' and prefers to visit nations which are English, or similar, speaking and often visits very close allies. King Alexander has never been known to visit nations unfriendly to the Provincial Union, and rarely even visits allies who may be in war or conflict. King Alexander is also known as the youngest King in the history of the Provincial Union, at time of coronation. King Alexander commissioned as a lieutenant on 6 July 2008, he served for two years until 31 December, 2010, when he married Grace Niveaux.

King of the Provincial Union


Domestic Policy

Economic Policy
King Alexander has been very fervid regarding his economic beliefs in Capitalism while avoiding Communism and Socialism at all costs, he has stated that while 'not totally against it' he does not believe the world is fit for even the idea of such a free labour ideology.

Education and health
King Alexander has prized education as the foremost need in terms of government expenditure and care, he has stated that he believes that schools can never have enough funding and when a school begins to lose funding it begins charging students which leads to selective learning as those who cannot afford education will simply not have it and the poor will remain poor and uneducated as the rich further increase their wealth.

King Alexander's opinion on health services has been extremely consistent in that since his younger years he has always believed that health needs to be prioritised in order to maintain the tranquility of common society, and the downfall of the health industry, and independent health services, results in the downfall of society. He has made it very evident that he believes healthcare should remain privatised as it is in most provinces, he has also stated he believes their can be some exceptions to that rule in certain unfortunate areas.

Social services
King Alexander has stated he believes social services essential, that if the people want to be healthy and safe they should be cared for by an unbiased service, he has stated that privatisation of social services could lead to catastrophe as people may receive biased services, and that he does not want someone to have 'the premium ambulance option'.

Environmental policies
King Alexander has openly stated he believes the term 'Global Warming' to be a 'hoax' as he knows and fully understands that the world often goes through cycles of warming and cooling. He has stated that he believes now to not be out of the cycle, but perfectly timed within it.

Energy policies
King Alexander has pushed for green energy and has stated that he does not desire to be faced with the threat of a smog covered atmosphere for the future. He has also stated that he believes green energy to be unlimited and 'nearly' neverending.

King Alexander advocated for the implementation of nuclear energy programs throughout the country when a nationwide push for nuclear energy occurred in 2021-2023 by President Crawford.

Immigration
King Alexander has swayed his opinions on immigration often throughout his time as King, he once stated that he believed immigration should be banned outright and that repopulation should be the duty of the people of the Provincial Union. He has recently stated however that he believes immigration should have a set limit and should only be available to people of high esteem and ability.

In 2022 after reopening the country, King Alexander stated that he wanted people to be able to see the outside world and he felt that the world deserved to see the Nation and how well it survived. However, he did say that he felt the country was at its "ideal composition" and did not need immigration to continue, therefore immigration to the Provincial Union remains closed.

Term Limits
On 11 August 2023, King Alexander announced that he would begin enforcing term and age limits for National-level non-term-limited continuously-elected offices in order to promote youth engagement in politics. King Alexander had met a group of congressmembers earlier that week where the average age of the group was 62, it is rumoured that this was likely the reason or the "final straw" for him.

Foreign Policy

War on Terror
When the Attack on the World Trade Center occurred in New York City, King Alexander was only 11 years old and was thus unable to make proper decisions in regards to the tragedy. Throughout his reign, the War on Terror has been a heavy and repeated issue with terrorism affecting Citizens of the Provincial Union throughout the world.

When the Dave Barrett Jones Building was attacked in December 2014, King Alexander addressed the tragedy by saying it was "expected" that a terrorist organisation would choose to attack the Provincial Union, the largest Christian country, on Christmas due to its sanctity in the Christian religion.

Following the November Paris Attacks, the King authorised the deployment of the United Provincial Armed Forces to the Middle East to fight the growing threat. However, when he learned the Queen had ordered a nuclear strike in Syria against ISIL, he quickly attempted to stop the strike, he was unable to do so. He has since defended the Queen from repercussions as a result of the incident and has stated that any further attacks against the Provincial Union or Christianity may see further use of nuclear weapons. No terror attack has since occurred against the Provincial Union or any major Christian sites. When Notre-Dame de Paris had a major fire in 2019, King Alexander quickly stated it could be an "act of terror against Christianity", an Islamic State representative publicly denied any responsibility.

Middle Eastern Conflicts
The United Provincial Armed Forces have been deployed to the Middle East only four times during King Alexander's reign, each time for less than a year. In October 2001 to support the US Invasion of Afghanistan, withdrawn in February 2002. In March 2003 to support the US Invasion of Iraq, withdrawn in May 2003. In January 2015 to support the Syrian Government in eliminating ISIL presence, withdrawn in June 2015. In December 2015 in order to assist Syria in eliminating ISIL presence, withdrawn in April 2016 following a nuclear strike ordered by the Queen.

In 2018, King Alexander promised he would never put Pacifican troops in the Middle East again and that any attack against the Provincial Union will result in immediate nuclear retaliation, the United Nations condemned this comment.

In October 2023, Israel was invaded by Palestinian forces resulting, King Alexander responded to this by saying he sympathised with the innocent civilians being terrorised by war. He also called on the National Government to remain neutral in the conflict. His position is considered to be likely affected by the history of Israel towards the Royal Family and him specifically, with Mossad having been caught attempting to spy on the Royal Family on multiple occasions.

Surveillance
King Alexander has moved to prevent bills and legislation that promote surveillance from passing and becoming effective as he believes 'every citizen has a right to privacy'.

United Nations
King Alexander has made it very clear that he does not fully support the United Nations' interventionism ways, but he believes the organisation necessary for international cooperation, he retracted that statement in 2018 after being attacked and insulted by multiple nations within the UN calling him 'illegitimate', his retaliation was to threaten war on the United Nations in its entirety, a difficult thing to accomplish.

France
King Alexander, prior to 2010, had stated he was not "fond" of the French or the French Government, however had "quite a deal of admiration" for the French people and French history. When he married Grace Niveaux in 2010, he quickly changed his position on France and stated he was a fan of the French people and history. He has criticised the French Government occasionally, however not to the degree in which he had criticised it prior to his marriage to Queen Grace.

United States
King Alexander is especially fond of the United States where he has made many efforts to promote diplomacy and cooperation between the two, he has made it very clear that his intentions are to 'keep the United States as close as possible'. In 2023, King Alexander's relationship with the United States soured greatly when former US President Donald Trump was indicted for allegedly paying "hush-money" to former pornographic film star Stormy Daniels. King Alexander stated that while he believed the indictment was justified, he felt that the obvious favouritism and bias shown by the US government to pursue charges against certain politicians while refusing to pursue charges against others, specifically the case involving Hunter Biden, US President Biden's son.

On 31 March, 2023, King Alexander stated that he would be personally pursuing charges against every US Politician "deserving" of judicial punishment.

Russia
King Alexander has been quoted as saying that an Alliance with Russia is 'more than necessary'. He has pushed heavily for closer relations with Russia and has met with several Russian delegates. He is personally responsible for the latest change to the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Valkyrie Bay, he has added delegates from Russia and has worked heavily with the Ambassador.

When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, King Alexander immediately declared his apathy towards the conflict. He has been quoted as saying "Wars happen, let it happen". In 2023, he has since taken a more anti-war stance as he has advocated for the "quick and decisive end" to the conflict, it is uncertain whether he was advocating for Russian or Ukrainian victory. Political theorists have stated that King Alexander's anti-war sentiment has "conveniently coincided" with the Queen's increase in pro-Ukrainian statements.

When the Wagner Group announced an armed rebellion in Russia and the Russian Government subsequently called the Provincial Union to arms, King Alexander had stated "we cannot take sides in the War, but we must honour the Treaty my father signed". He later publicly expressed his intent to respect the full conditions of the Treaty, however he would not put the Nation against Ukraine.

Armenia
King Alexander spoke against the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War and pushed for the Provincial Union to become involved, despite the recommendations of his advisors. King Alexander attempted to send support to Armenia however, due to the Ordinance banning International Travel, he was unable to do so and did not have enough support to override it.

On 29 September 2023, King Alexander expressed his concern for the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh, stating that it is a "clear evidence of a planned genocide". He also stated that "any attack against the people of Nagorno-Karabakh is an attack against us", adding that a genocide will result in a total and equivalent response.

China
Until 2020 King Alexander has worked heavily to bring a closer relationship with China and even fought the removal of China from the Diplomatic Council, however he has since voted in favour of all motions condemning Chinese aggression.

Recovery Projects
King Alexander had partnered with his cousin, the Duke of Oceania, to promote a project in India to protect 'Ethnic and Religious Minorities from Persecution', an action which gathered much support internationally and caused India to vow support to the Provincial Union.

COVID-19 Pandemic
King Alexander expressed apathy towards the COVID-19 pandemic, however emphasized the "sheer luck" of the Provincial Union regarding closing the borders quickly and decisively prior to any COVID-19 cases reaching the Provincial Union.

In 2022, King Alexander published an Executive Ordinance for International Travel reopening the country internationally and officially ending the isolation that the Provincial Union had self-imposed throughout the duration of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Cultural and political image

Image
King Alexander's youth has gathered much publicity and fame, however it also gathers some infamy as many find him young and under-experienced, a character trait which he has denied on many occasions.

Foreign perceptions
King Alexander is very welcome by most foreign nations, he is supported by the people of every European nation, although the German government is not very fond of him, and he is welcome in almost every country on Earth.

Public Appearances
King Alexander often appears publicly, although usually only to announce something, this is due to him being protected from most 'risks' as the Royal Protection Agency is very thorough and protective since the death of Queen Mary in 1997.

General Information



Charlotte Grâce-des-Madeleine Niveaux (22 July, 1991) is a French-Pacifican Royal who currently reigns as the Queen of the Provincial Union of the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans since 25 December, 2010 when she married the King. Prior to ascension, Niveaux stated she wishes her regnal name to be her second given name, Grâce (anglicised to Grace) as she had been referred to by that name when she originally visited the Provincial Union.

Niveaux was born on 22 July, 1991 in the City of Paris of the French Republic. She was born to a life of relative ease and in a middle class family. Niveaux was born to a rather large family, she is very close to many of her relatives, and they are very proud of her for her ascension to Royalty. Niveaux hasn't had the easiest time as a member of the Royal Family as she was not raised to be a powerful figure, she was raised as a middle child and so did not always receive the most attention in her family. Niveaux is, disputedly, ranked as the World's Second Most Powerful person, second to the King, and the World's Most Powerful Woman, although these titles are challenged on occasion by President Crawford.

Early Life



Charlotte Grâce-des-Madeleine Niveaux was born on 22 July, 1991 in a Private Hospital in Paris, near Versailles, in the French Republic. She was born to Gérard and Charlotte Niveaux, who are both Roman Catholic, while not "heavily practicing", she has stated that they instilled the values of Catholicism in her when she was young. She lived in France until she met the King in June of 2010 when she was visiting her cousin who was an Art student attending the Capital University at the time.

Education
Niveaux was educated at schools in Paris and she is currently enrolled in a specific collegiate classes program at the Capital University, the program has not yet been disclosed.

Personal Life



Niveaux, prior to being Queen, lived throughout her childhood as the daughter of a middle-class French family and lived with her parents until she was 18 when she had left her home to visit the Capital and consequently married the King, between the time she first met the King and her official change of residence, she was living in a Royal Suite in Jubilee Inn in Jubilee Square paid for by the National Government. Immediately following marriage to the King and her coronation in December of 2010, Queen Grace had 2 twins with the King in January of 2011 at the age of 19, the youngest of any 'modern' Queen. This was greatly criticised by the public as word soon got out that the timing was too soon between each other and it was discovered that Queen Grace had been pregnant with the King's child before they had married, this was the greatest controversy to the Royal Family at the time and since.

Her time as Queen has been greatly commended by the King as he states often that he is greatly content of his choice. She is one of the youngest Queens, at time of coronation, in the nation's history. For the first few years following her coronation she only played a role as a 'family-oriented' Queen as she would rarely make political comments or statements and when she did they were often aimed at improving families and their stability. Now Queen Grace has become more politically influential as she often makes statements regarding the safety and security of the nation, although she had become silent once more after having another child with the King in May of 2018. Since then she has again focused on her 'motherhood' and remains out of politics once again. Being such a quickly-ascending individual from France, Queen Grace has become an idol for ladies of France to chase dreams consciously and subconsciously. Her hometown celebrates her ascension to Royalty very often and she also visits her hometown frequently, usually to see family and friends as she did live their up until her visit to the Capital when she met the King.

Queen of the Provincial Union



Domestic Stances

Economic Policy
Queen Grace is undoubtedly European on her stances in economy as she has many policies which, although she claims are 'not in anyway in any support' of socialism, social-leaning. One such opinion was her support for business subsidies from the government for 'successful' enterprises, the bill was met with heavy opposition in Congress. Queen Grace has made many actions to promote public support funds on behalf of the government as well, a move which has caused heavy controversy. Every time that she has made an action which becomes later unpopular she has stated; "I only try to help in the only way I know may work, I am sorry if I am mistaken", and she generally removes support within days of announcing it, likely due to the King's advice.

Education and health
Queen Grace has sought to ensure governmental subsidies to all education and health societies, a costly move which she believes can be controlled in a more inexpensive manner, the King has stated on her behalf that actions to 'unify', something she had not called for but likely supported, and 'subsidize', slightly off from her suggestions, the Education and Health systems are being considered but are extremely unlikely. He later confirmed she had withdrawn from these opinions.

She now calls for increased education spending and further privatising the healthcare system and prioritising pharmaceutical economics, the King has sponsored this decision with her.

Social services
Queen Grace was the first to call for elimination of National-level welfare programs, she had first announced this idea in 2013, and it was effectively approved in 2016, she later stated she noticed that many recipients of welfare assistance were not in dire need of it and the National Government shouldn't be involved in such 'lowly' matters, she later corrected herself in saying she meant low-level, personal matters.

Environmental policies
Queen Grace has stated that the environment is the most valuable thing for us to cherish and preserve now while we still have it, she has stated that she believes Provinces and Regions should invest in protecting the environment rather than leaving the matter to the National Government.

Energy policies
Queen Grace has stated she believes herself to be undereducated on energy-related matters, stating she has 'no clue' what the concern would be. The King has stated however; "She knows more regarding the subject than I do, she just has stances that are considered very controversial, smart, but controversial".

Immigration
Queen Grace has had many changes in her stances on immigration, initially in 2011 she stated that she believes immigration to be a key element in the 'growth and prosperity of society', translated, however in 2014 she stated 'after seeing the disarray of Europe and Sweden' that she believes immigration needs to be selective in order to keep the ideal workers in place and bad people out of the country. Later in November of 2015 regarding immigration following Paris and the DBJ she had changed her opinion and the King announced on her behalf that she stated that "terrible people live in terrible places and if we let those terrible people in our homes, they will make our lives terrible", she later continued that remark in 2016 saying she believed the 'terrible places' needed to be 'purged of their atrocities' -Public Statement through Grand Palace, she proceeded to endorse a bill in Congress, which has been attempted thrice since 2016, in 2016, 2017, and 2018 and is being considered again in 2020, which would outright ban immigration.

Surveillance
Perhaps the most support she has gained for any of her stances is her surveillance opinion, she believes surveillance to be unnecessary unless protecting against an 'imminent' threat.

Foreign Stances

United Nations
Queen Grace has very optimistic views of the United Nations as she has stated that she believes that Provincial Union and the United Nations should get along because not getting along 'won't do anybody any good'. She has been a strong supporter for the Provincial Union to cooperate with the United Nations but she also opposes the idea of rejoining it stating; 'we are our own United Nations, we don't need to be in another'.

Europe
In her early years of royalty European powers were in strong support of her and her stances, however in later years as her positions shift to be more Pacifican, this has changed and as of August of 2019, the only European countries which still support her are; France, Britain, and Italy.

France
Queen Grace was born in France and considers herself pureblooded French, she has spoken highly of France, its history, and its people. She has occasionally criticised the Government of France due to many of its policies being harmful to the French people or history. She has often spoken against France's history of allowing refugees into the country openly, stating it is "destroying [her] beautiful culture and history". In the early 2010s, Queen Grace was considered very close to France and often would propose policies for the Provincial Union that France had already adopted. In 2016, she ordered a nuclear strike against a city in Syria in response to the November 2015 Paris Bombings, France strongly opposed the strike due to it being "additional violence". The United Nations Security Council had attempted to condemn her for the strike, however this was vetoed by France as they stated "you cannot punish someone for loving their country".

In the early 2020s, her relationship with France has slowly deteriorated as the French Government imposes policies harming French Citizens while benefiting refugees and migrants. Queen Grace condemned the "New France" after visiting her home neighbourhood and seeing that it had become surrounded by slums.

United Kingdom
Queen Grace has shown to be very close to the British Royal Family after she met them in 2011 and immediately made friendships with Queen Elizabeth II and Duchess Catherine. Queen Grace also reportedly grieved heavily after hearing of the death of Queen Elizabeth II as she was "closer to her than any other foreign Royal".

Russia
Queen Grace has supported positive relations with the Russian Federation, however has reportedly never "had direct communications with any member of the Russian government". The Russian government has spoken very highly of her. When a UNSC Condemnation was proposed against all members of the Royal Family by Germany, the condemnation specific to her was vetoed by the United States, Russia, France, and China. Russia was not expected to veto the proposal.

When Russia entered Crimea in 2013, Queen Grace was the only member of the National Government to speak out against it thus leading her to receive praise internationally. Queen Grace remained silent on the 2022 Russian Invasion of Ukraine until late-April 2023 when she backed orders by CiC Freeman to supply outdated surplus materiel to Ukraine. The move was unexpected and considered a political shock to many as she, along with the King, had expressed apathy towards the conflict. On 25 May 2023, Queen Grace visited Kiev suddenly and subtly for a secret meeting with the Ukrainian Government and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, she stayed in the city for only two hours before returning to the Provincial Union. The visit was immediately criticised by many in the National Government and is believed to pose a threat to the relationship of the Provincial Union with Russia. The Russian Government, however did confirm it respected a request from the Provincial Union to cease attacks on the city of Kiev for the time period that she was there. The King was aware and had assisted in arranging the meeting, however refused to attend the meeting and attempted to prevent her from going. News of her visit spread worldwide after a picture of her posing in front of a Ukrainian building surfaced. International media has praised her actions and called her brave, however some domestic news agencies have called her "suicidal".

Queen Grace is considered the loudest, most prominent/powerful voice in opposition to the war and in support of Ukraine, replacing CiC Robert Freeman.

On 25 June 2023, the Wagner Group declared an armed rebellion against the Russian Government, leading to Russia calling the Provincial Union to arms. Queen Grace was reportedly devastated by the revelation and fought to refuse the Call-to-Arms as she did not desire for Pacifican forces to be put up in arms against Ukrainian forces. However, the King had clarified to her that Provincial Union Forces would not leave Russia, and would certainly not fight against Ukraine. Her reaction led to United Provincial Armed Forces informing personnel that they are forbidden from firing upon Ukrainian forces when stationed in Russia to fight against the Wagner Group.

In January 2024, due to a personal incident between Prince Alexander and his Ukrainian then-fiancée, Prince Alexander decreed that no entity within Provincial Union can intervene in the Russo-Ukrainian War. Queen Grace reportedly disagreed with the decision, however yielded as Prince Alexander was "overly emotional".

Caucasus
When the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War started, Queen Grace pushed for the United Provincial Armed Forces to begin total retaliatory efforts against Azerbaijan. She also reportedly pressured the High Council to override the Ordinance Banning International Travel and to put more troops and equipment into Armenia for defence, she continued pushing for this even after being told it was a risk to the Provincial Union to do so.

On 29 September 2023, Queen Grace advocated for the Provincial Union to occupy Nagorno-Karabakh in order to protect it from Azerbaijan due to recent actions by the Azeri Government against Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh. She personally authored orders to be published which would move forces into Nagorno-Karabakh to protect Armenians, however the King convinced her not to publish the order as it would have effectively declared war on Azerbaijan. She made a public statement that the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh was horrible and she would pray for the victims.

Middle East Wars
Queen Grace is 'single-handedly' responsible for the most casualties by the Provincial Union in the Middle East as she ordered a nuclear strike on a 'Syrian Rebel City' which resulted in 30,630 wounded and 3,860 dead in early April 2016, this was considered an extremely 'careless' act by the United Nations, however the decision to condemn her was vetoed by France and the United States. Congress also attempted to condemn her for 'abuse of Royal authority' which was vetoed by the High Council after King Alexander, Pres. Neideringhart, and CiC Robert Freeman refused to approve it.

Queen Grace has been considered the Royal who is most likely to be sympathetic towards Israel, however she has often been very reserved on the topic, likely due to her being surrounded by contradicting opinions. In October 2023, Israel was invaded by Palestinian forces and Queen Grace only made a small statement that she was "praying for peace".

Cultural and political image

Image
Queen Grace is viewed very positively by the male population due to her youth and attraction, many young males support her and her stances. Publicly she typically appears in either formal or flashy attire, during State Visits she typically wears colourful outfits with a 'unique' hat. She has been criticised for wearing attire that is considered too formal for the circumstances, such as an incident in 2023 when she went on a STEM Programme wearing a white dress similar to that of a wedding dress despite her expecting to participate in unclean/messy activities.

Foreign perceptions
She is currently the second most internationally popular Royal, second only to the Duke of Oceania who once when being considered for UNSC condemnation had it vetoed by all Five vetoing powers. Due to her neutrality on international affairs, she has been mostly overlooked but still appreciated by foreign governments. After supporting Ukraine so heavily, many foreign governments have come out in heavy support of Queen Grace following much hostility from domestic news agencies.

Public Appearances
Queen Grace spends as much time in public as she is capable of and occasionally appears publicly 'too often' according to the Royal Protection Agency. During her pregnancies, she appears rarely except for certain celebrations such as her birthday ceremony in 2021. In 2022, Queen Grace attended the Funeral of Queen Elizabeth II who was a close friend of hers, this was her first foreign visit since the COVID-19 Pandemic. Her first post-pandemic official diplomatic visit to a foreign country was in May 2023 when she visited Kiev, the capital city of Ukraine to meet the Ukrainian Government, the visit was criticised and commended as she is one of very few to visit Ukraine during the Russo-Ukrainian War.

General Information



Alexander (born 6 July 1999) is a Pacifican Royal who has reigned as a Prince of the Provincial Union since 2009. Alexander is heir apparent to the title Duke of Oceania, he will attain the title once he is married in accordance with the Declaration of Human Rights and Principles. However, the King has stated he will proclaim Alexander as the Duke of Oceania by 6 July 2025 if he does not marry before 2025. Additionally, he is the Regent-heir to the King meaning if the King were to experience an untimely death before his youngest son is sixteen then Prince Alexander would take the Throne until the former-King's youngest son reaches age. According to the National Government, Alexander has technically reigned as the titular Duke of Oceania since 2017 when he reached adulthood since the title was not yet held already.

Prince Alexander was born on 6 July 1999 in a National Hospital in the Capital. He is the grandson of the late King Jackson, being the son of a now-deceased son of King Jackson.

Early Life



Prince Alexander was born on 6 July 1999 in a National Hospital in the Capital Province, official records are unsure of where specifically. He's travelled frequently to the Provincial Union and within the United States. In 2006, before his titles were proclaimed, Alexander was met by a politician whose children went to his same school. The politician requested that a background check be performed on Alexander's family due to suspicions and how he told all of his classmates that he was Royalty, after the local police, United Marshal Service, and Domestic Intelligence Service were all unable to successfully check his background, it was determined that his family's information was redacted by the Royal Protection Agency and the King was consulted. The King confirmed that Alexander was the grandson of the late King Jackson and therefore connected to the Royal Family. Historians say that if the current King had not been born then Prince Alexander would have been King.

Officially, he lived in the Capital Province until 2009 when his titles were proclaimed by the King, at which point he was relocated to the United States intermittently to serve as an official Executive Diplomat to the United States.

Education
Prince Alexander was educated through public and private schools throughout the United States.

Personal Life



Prince Alexander was born in the Capital Province to the brother and sister-in-law of the King and was considered the closest male member of the Royal Family to the King. He was raised in the Provincial Union Capital until 2009 when he relocated to the United States. The Royal Protection Agency has confirmed that Prince Alexander has struggled in various aspects of his personal life, especially in matters of social interactions.

In 2023, rumours that Prince Alexander was engaged had emerged, however the National Government has refused to confirm nor deny.

Advocacy

Negotiations
Prince Alexander remains the single point of communication between the Provincial Union and the United States, and in 2021 has had 'a very demanding year already' having dealt with the negotiations with the United States for the signing of the Treaty of Eternal Tranquility.

Diplomatic Interactions

United States of America
The primary residence of Prince Alexander has been determined as being within the United States, living within the shared rights as defined by a series of agreements between the Provincial Union and the United States based on the Treaty of Eternal Tranquility. Currently, Prince Alexander serves as the primary Executive Diplomat to the United States on behalf of the Provincial Union and works as 'the direct voice and hands of the King'.

On 1 March, 2023, Prince Alexander was recalled to the Provincial Union by the King due to heightening world tension. On 31 March, 2023, the US Embassy in the Provincial Union issued a formal Request for Departure for Prince Alexander, this came hours after the King stated he would pursue judicial charges against "deserving" US politicians. It is reported that he has left the United States and currently lives in Europe.

Republic of Armenia
Prince Alexander took a particular interest in the Republic of Armenia and in 2010 proposed they be added to the Treaty of Eternal Tranquility and has been the cause of the alliance between the Provincial Union and the Republic of Armenia since.

During the Nagorno-Karabakh War in 2020, Prince Alexander called on the National Government to "take action". He was given oversight by the King to supervise the Provincial Union's involvement in the conflict, many strategists and high ranking military leadership attribute the initial successes to him. However, as supplies dwindled and could not be restocked due to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic, the forces were forced to take a defensive stance. Prince Alexander did convince the King that in the case of an invasion of the primary territory of Armenia, the Ordinance Banning International Travel would be rescinded immediately.

Republic of Italy
Prince Alexander was very involved in the building of relations with the Republic of Italy, it has not yet been determined why he has such an interest in the Republic of Italy, however he still supports the Italian Government and has continued a close relationship with the country.

Russian Federation
Prince Alexander has voiced support for Russia in various topics and has voiced his admiration towards Russian culture. He has frequently cited the Russian people as being "some of the smartest people regarding communism because they've experienced it and threw it away". He has voiced opposition to the war in Ukraine however has not voiced an official opinion as he has opposed the democratic systems in both Russia and Ukraine for being "overwhelmingly corrupt".

When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2020, Prince Alexander criticised the invasion as being an unnecessary conflict. He has continued to criticise the conflict throughout the war, however as the war progressed, he became increasingly in favour of "peace by any means" and has said he believes Ukraine surrendering may be the only route to peace.

State of Japan
Prince Alexander has held strong opinions in favour of Japan and has apparently always admired the Japanese culture. In 2022, he represented the Provincial Union at the funeral for former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe.

Despite the revelation in 2023 that some coalition governments distrust Prince Alexander due to his "softness" towards the People's Republic of China, Japan has voiced continued support and admiration for him and his attempts to make and keep peace in the region.

Republic of India
Prince Alexander personally established the Peacekeeper presence in the Republic of India with the reasoning; "Muslims and impoverished people in the Republic of India are considerably persecuted by people in their surroundings with children even being used as tools to gain sympathy and money from the Indian Government" he added that he 'abhorred' the conditions of many parts of India and sought to help India 'as best he can'.

The Republic of India stated in 2023, following the revelation that some coalition governments distrust Prince Alexander due to his "softness" towards Mainland China, that they respect him for his "actions towards helping the Indian people".

The Middle East
Due to his actions in India, Muslim countries and organisations greatly support him and go so far as to condemn personal insults or threats against him, with controversial organisations even supporting him. He has travelled to several countries in the Middle East, including Qatar, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates where he spent several months due to being unable to return during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

In 2019, Prince Alexander flew to the United Arab Emirates to negotiate a peace with Iran after relations deteriorated quickly. He remained there until mid-2020 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

In October 2023, when Israel was invaded by Palestinian forces, he advocated for peace in the region. However, he did not voice support for either side as it is believed his views are conflicted on the matter. He has historically supported a Christian Occupation of Jerusalem so it is likely he does not support either side.

Additionally in October 2023, Prince Alexander attempted to send Peacekeepers to Dubai and the UAE in order to enforce equal and fair treatment of immigrant workers, however the Government of the UAE refused the Peacekeepers.

People's Republic of China
Prince Alexander has been a strong advocate towards the continued positive diplomacy with China and has pushed the National Government to renegotiate terms with the Chinese Mainland Government to keep a 'friendly' relationship with the country.

In 2023, it was revealed by a statement from the National Government that some governments in the coalition against Mainland China have distrust towards Prince Alexander due to his history of "softness" and kindness towards the Chinese Mainland Government. The People's Republic of China responded stating they "still respect and trust" him.

Federal Republic of Germany
Until 2022, Germany was indifferent towards Prince Alexander while he viewed the country and culture with much respect. He was often shunned or otherwise disrespected by the German Government despite his consistent attempts to be friendly towards the country. In 2019, he visited western Germany and the German government refused to accommodate him despite a great deal of support for him coming from the German people. In 2022, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz took office and immediately began to repair relations between the Provincial Union and Germany even going as far as inviting Prince Alexander to revisit the country with 'more appropriate' accommodations, Prince Alexander did not publicly reply to the request.

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Until 2018, the United Kingdom was considerably hostile towards Prince Alexander, however the government's stance apparently changed in 2018 when it was discovered that he held great admiration for British history and culture and greatly complimented the achievements of the former British Empire. In 2022, Prince Alexander was the first foreign representative to visit the United Kingdom following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, having arrived only hours after her death. He also represented the Provincial Union along with Queen Grace at the funeral for Queen Elizabeth II.

Prince Alexander was not invited to the 2023 Coronation of King Charles III, however no one in the National Government was invited.

Cultural and political image

Image
Prince Alexander is not known for his public appearances as he is currently abroad in the United States for diplomatic purposes, he travels frequently between nations and has made great diplomatic actions on behalf of the Provincial Union to several countries. Prince Alexander has been referred to as being very confident and intelligent by many that have worked with him.

Foreign perceptions
Currently, Prince Alexander is considered the most internationally accepted member of the Royal Family. The most notable example of this was a United Nation Security Council condemnation of the Royal Family in 2012 where each member was condemned individually, as proposed by Germany, although no member was condemned due to each being vetoed, Prince Alexander's condemnation was vetoed by all five Permanent Members, one of the few unanimous decisions by the UN Security Council's Permanent Members.

Public Appearances
Prince Alexander has only appeared publicly during major public events, he has attended the funerals of Queen Elizabeth II and Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe.

General Information



Alice Newman Crawford (née Hutchinson; born 25 August 1977) is an Australian-Pacifican politician who currently serves as the 214th President of the Union since 17 February 2017. She was also the 266th Vice President of the Union from 22 January to 17 February 2017.

Crawford was born on 25 August 1977 in Hampton City, Fargaust. She graduated from Regium Academia with a Magister Artium de Civilis Scientias in 2008, she worked for local Senatorial Chairs and for the Governor until 2006 when she was elected for a Parliamentary Office in the Capital where she resumed studies as a Political Adjutant until 2008 when she was then elected to be a Parliamentary Sub-Chairperson and later forfeited the office in order to achieve tenure as an Economic Policy Committee Chair until she again forfeited the Position in order to attain a position in the Civil Services Committee. On 22 November 2016, she was elected for Vice Presidency, however, the Vote was faulted and in 2018 on 4 January, the population voted in favour of keeping Crawford as President. It was never clear as to why Resnik chose her to be his Vice President, however intensive research by the National Government and the Presidential Protection Service proved that she was not connected to the Armed Forces nor the D.I.S. in any way threatening to the Nation.

In 2015 while the Security Act was being proposed in the Civil Services Committee, Crawford was a major advocate and fought strongly in favour of passing the Bill because she believed it was a 'strictly abundant necessity' and would hold individual meetings with fellow chairpersons to inform them on the importance and viability of the Bill proposed. Crawford also strongly advocated against the Public Surveillance Act in silence as she would negotiate with Politicians in order to prevent the passage of the Bill. While in Parliament Crawford also pushed advocated against sectioning off more funding to the Educational Department Nationally and she also made the statement that it is extremely unnecessary for the Nation to be paying for individual education. Crawford also strongly advocated her position against Public Disarming as she believes it a necessity to National Defense. During the proposal phase of the Act to Abolish Welfare, it was noted that Crawford voted in favour of the Act however never publicised her opinion but rather stated she wished not to explain her reasoning.

Early Life



Alice Newman Hutchinson was born on 25 August 1977 at United Regional Hospital in Hampton City, the capital city of the Fargaust Province. She was the second of three children of Robert and Sydney Hutchinson. She was raised in the outer suburbs of Hampton City and was educated in the public schools of North Hampton. Crawford is of Australian ancestry and has some distant Dutch ancestry. Growing up, Crawford had experienced many cyclones which she claims attributed heavily to her fear of hurricanes and cyclones. While schooling, Crawford had apparently struggled early in school to keep up as she would spend more time interacting with teachers and staff rather than study or work, she later stated that she "felt safer around adults", a statement which brought a lot of responses on regards to the safety status of her schooling. She claimed to have been introverted and unable to cooperate with fellow students due to their apparent overwhelming success over hers. In 1990, Crawford had been on a field trip to the Capital for a major school project when she apparently lost her way and was immediately helped by dozens of strangers who guided her to the airport and some even offering to buy a flight should she miss hers, she found her guides speaking to Airport Security looking for her, she later stated that this was "the moment I realised there is more good in the hearts of the people over evil" a statement which echoed on her behalf throughout the South Pacific.

Although not a legal citizen of the Indian Oceanic Provinces due to her residence being in the Pacific, Crawford was heavily involved in the politics of the Indian Ocean rather than National or South Pacifican politics. She had also made many visits to the Indian Oceanic Capital through her adulthood. Crawford lived in close proximity to Australia and visited the Nation frequently to the point that airport officials had recognised her. Crawford finished her basic schooling and later applied to the Regium Academia where she obtained a Magister Artium in 2008.

Education
Crawford attended public schools in North Hampton where she spent the entirety of her education until she moved to the Regium Academia Local Residential Township for Mastery of the Arts of Political Sciences. Crawford was recommended to the Regium Academia by one of her former College Instructors, she was accepted and immediately relocated to the Campus Housing for the remainder of her schooling. Crawford was also involved in a Political Liaison Program for the Regium Academia from 2006 until 2008 when she graduated with a Magister Artium de Civilis Scientias.

Personal Life



While in classes, Hutchinson met John Crawford and soon after the two engaged in courtship for several months and married only a year later. Later in life Ms. Crawford continued her educational path in the area of Politics and stated she had envisioned being elected for a major political title such as Speaker of the House or Chairwoman of Parliament, but she never aspired to be President of the Provincial Union. Hutchinson married John Crawford in 1999 and had their first child, Eric, in 2003, a year later, forcing her to settle down on politics and education, however she could never focus her energy on the maintenance of the child. Crawford was heavily involved in politics through her adulthood, even going so far as to change her major in college from general engineering to Political Sciences, she later received a Magister Artium for this field. Crawford had frequently visited the Indian Oceanic Capital throughout her adulthood until 2006 when she successfully achieved a Chair in Parliament. Due to her continuation in school, Crawford was entered into the Political Liaison Program for Regium Academia, she completed this and received a Magister Artium in 2008.

Political Career



Crawford met many difficult times in her attempts to join the political career path. Beginning her path working at the Regional Governor's Office in Fargaust she later ran for a Senatorial Seat in 2005, however she lost the vote at 12% and later ran for Parliament in 2006 and following the death of a prior chair. Crawford was later nominated and approved to be one of eight Parliamentary Sub-Chairpersons in 2009 and left the office 4 years later in 2013. Crawford joined the Economic Policy Committee in 2013 and left to attain a chair position in the Civil Services Committee and was later nominated to be the Presiding Officer, however became Vice President before attainment.

Crawford holds the third shortest tenure in history as Vice President after Roren Vastikul and Beatrice Jester both of whom were assassinated soon after attaining office. Crawford has the shortest Vice Presidency which later migrated to Presidency. As Vice President, Crawford had made many statements against what Resnik had envisioned. Crawford was originally not intended to be Vice President, however after many nominations by co-chairs, she was selected by the Presidential Candidate.

Presidency


Domestic Policy

Economic Policy
Crawford's stance on economy has often been to leave it as a free market program and has taken many actions to provide for more income and less expenditure to the National Government. Along with her boosts to the income of the National Government, the national economy has remained steady at a very high rating and many impoverished or poor provinces have also been taken out of suffering due to her program Savings for the Suffering

Education and health
In the past, Crawford has strongly advocated against national funding towards educational systems, however, recently has called for prioritisation of the educational system in order to promote stronger learning skills in the Union. Crawford's stance on health programs have never been stated, however she has often voted in favour for budget boosts to the health system and has made efforts to promote local health programs.

Social services
In late 2017, Crawford revoked all national funding to welfare programs and made the statement, Provinces should cover for the costs of their people. Later in 2017, Crawford also reestablished national funding to some welfare programs in an effort to compensate for National Government Officials or Armed Forces personnel.

In 2023, Crawford began the process of blocking regions and provinces from providing assistance to single mothers that had children outside of wedlock, more specifically women who had cheated on their spouse and conceived of a child. Crawford has also introduced more severe penalties to be imposed on women who act unfaithful and have a child with someone other than their spouse, with notable exceptions applying to "Consenting Open Relationships".

Military and Defense
Crawford has stated the Department of Defense and Offence to be essentials for the continuation of the Provincial Union, she has also stated that unfortunately in today's society, it is near impossible to survive without a military or some form of a standing army.

In 2022, Crawford advocated to introduce legislation to require the Armed Forces be stood down for at least double the time that they are mobilised, Congress refused to consider the motion.

Environmental policies
Crawford has begun a program in July of 2017 called the Remove and Renew program, the main efforts of the program are to remove any and all negative environmental threats and restore them with more environmentally friendly equivalents. The Remove and Renew program has also made many leaps and bounds throughout the nation to remove trash problems, including the efforts to shrink the Garbage Isle which has actually loss a large and undisclosed mass in the last year.

During Crawford's tenure, the percentage of Natural Reserves in the Provincial Union has increased by 300%, however she has also revoked the Reserve privilege in various places. Most notably was her attempt to rescind the privilege afforded to the Los Dominigues Natural Reserve in 2019, however she met severe backlash when the COVID-19 Pandemic began and there were concerns of the virus "coming over the wall".

Energy policies
Crawford has always been for the establishment of green energy facilities and has also made efforts to remove all negatively influencing power facilities. Through her Remove and Renew program, Crawford has made many leaps and bounds to prevent major polluters, she has pushed for increased establishment of nuclear, solar, and wind facilities, however she has stated herself as neutral towards the King's preference of geothermal which she states is not enough energy for a massive populous.

In 2021, Crawford introduced legislation to subsidise the creation of nuclear facilities in all major provinces. She has also supported efforts to provide energy solutions to smaller or less capable provinces.

Immigration
Crawford is a very strong advocate of isolationism and has many times closed borders and advocated against immigration and foreign influences. Crawford shares a major opinion with the King and her forebears on immigration, that being to keep boarders limited or closed. Under the Crawford Administration there have been major changes to the immigration system including the establishment of major border walls and checkpoints. She has also created 23,000 jobs on behalf of the Border Patrol services.

In 2022, Crawford opposed the King's decision to reopen the country's borders. However following the King's explanation, she stated that she agreed with his views on the matter and supports the decision.

Nuclear Weapons
Crawford, at the United Nations, stated that nuclear weapons are certainly non-essential for maintaining peace. However, she has also stated that if a nation desires nuclear weapons, then it is their right to hold whatever form of weaponry they desire. Despite this statement, in 2022 she stated "some countries aren't meant to have [nuclear weapons]" following a statement of Russia regarding nuclear policy in the Russian Invasion of Ukraine.

Foreign Policy

War on Terror
Crawford has often made the comment that she is fully against terrorism, once naming Muslim Radicals specifically and received much international response to that statement, however no prolonged repercussions.

Surveillance
President Crawford has stated on many occasions that she is in full support of the National Government's Right to Survey, however, she has stated that so long as the government does not intervene or release information she will remain in favour of the national right.

United States
President Crawford has stated she doesn't see the United States as a proper ally as they do not assist nor support the Provincial Union, and she also believes that the United States and Russia need to work together however fails miserably in the world stage. In late 2022, Crawford condemned the actions of the United States Government as "persecution" against political opponents, citing that "attempting to jail former presidents sets a terrible precedent as we would know" likely referring to the large amounts of incarcerated Presidents of the Provincial Union throughout the 19th and 20th Centuries due to the Democratic-Republican War.

On 31 March, 2023, Crawford condemned the indictment of former US President Donald Trump, stating "it is a great hypocrisy that while one President is arrested, another walks free and rules his country despite he and his son having committed much graver injustices". Crawford also made statements against former US Presidents Barack Obama and George Bush, and against former US Senator Hillary Clinton for their alleged participation in various "criminal activities" and "atrocities".

Russia
Crawford has stated she wishes to be closer allies to the Russian Federation, she has made it clear that Russia has essentials within it that the Provincial Union needs to have access to in order to further either nations' success.

In 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine, Crawford immediately condemned the "savage attack", stating it was an illegal way to settle international disagreement. She has threatened sending peacekeepers to Ukraine to protect the region from conflict, however withdrew the request following evidence revealing of Ukrainian forces committing violations of the International Laws of War. She continued to advocate support for Ukraine despite her government's generalised apathy towards the conflict. In April 2023, President Crawford advocated for "leftover materiel" to be sent to Ukraine in support of the defence of the nation, CiC Freeman drafted orders to be published, the orders are expected to be passed due to the support of the Queen in addition to Crawford and Freeman.

On 25 June 2023, upon learning the Provincial Union had been called to arms by the Russian Federation due to the armed rebellion of the Wagner Group, Crawford expressed desire to refuse the call, however realised that she would have to agree in order to preserve the honour of the Provincial Union.

China
When China was discovered to have been trying to plant COVID-19 into the Provincial Union, President Crawford reluctantly announced her 'feelings of betrayal' towards the Chinese Government. In January of 2021 President Crawford stated that she believes that China is a growing threat against the Provincial Union.

In 2022, President Crawford stated that she supported protesters in China who were protesting lockdown restrictions, and she proceeded to strongly criticise the Chinese Mainland Government after such protests had suddenly "settled down". Crawford has stated that she is frequently appalled by the actions of the Chinese Mainland Government in its "constant and frequent violations of human rights".

Caucasus
President Crawford has vowed support to Armenia and when the Nagorno-Karabakh War in 2020 started, she quickly condemned it and called for "full-scale retaliation". Crawford attempted to withdraw the Ordinance that banned international travel due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, however her advisors and the High Council were against the move. She was reportedly "very upset" at the outcome of the War.

In 2023, Crawford condemned the actions of Azerbaijan in Nagorno-Karabakh, calling it a "preparation for genocide". On 27 September, Crawford threatened that any 'genocide' against Armenia or its people will result in the Provincial Union responding with a "total Scorched Earth response", also claiming "there will be nothing left".

Middle East
President Crawford has stated that she believes the Provincial Union should have no presence in the Middle East due to its distance and danger, she has also stated that she wishes the Provincial Union to be able to abstain from all political affairs.

In October 2023, Israel was invaded by Palestinian forces and Crawford stated during a press conference that "both sides will fight to the death, which unfortunately means the only way a permanent peace can be achieved in the region is through the total destruction of one side or the other". She also responded to a question regarding the involvement of the Provincial Union which she stated was "very unlikely". She also addressed concerns that Israel or Palestine might use nuclear weapons to which she stated if a side had and was willing to use nuclear weapons, they would have by now.

United Nations
President Crawford has stated that while she encourages promoting World Peace, it will not be possible if everyone chooses to take up arms to slaughter those who oppose it. A confusing statement that has made grounds for a lot of mockery from the international community.

Refugees
President Crawford has shown some disapproval towards allowing refugees into the nation as she believes it to be equivalent of "inviting plagued livestock to your barn" and has so far strongly advocated the discontinuation of refugee programs.

Cultural and political image

Age
Crawford's age has been the subject of a lot of controversy after it was revealed that top search results including her name were much different from that of her predecessor as her's contained many more inappropriate or explicit searches.

Image
President Crawford holds major favour among provinces in the Lower Pacific and Indian Oceans, her heritage rooting in Australia strongly attributes to this favour. Due to her Australian ancestry, advocacy with south-west Pacific and Indian Oceans. Due to her light Australian accent, citizens in largely foreign areas report it more difficult to understand her than normal.

Foreign perceptions
Also attributing to her Australian heritage, relations with Australia, and various other Oceania nations, have boosted largely. The United Kingdom and various Asian nations have also viewed her heritage as a major advantage. Many nations in the United Nations also favour that Crawford is not gender discriminated although the King has insisted no discrimination has ever existed.

Public Appearances
Crawford has only appeared at National Events such as the celebration of the Royal Birthdays and the Annual Royal Ball and has also appeared to speak with foreign world leaders or representatives. Every year on 22 January since 2018, Crawford has addressed the nation in her 'State of the Union' Address.

Recognition
Upon becoming President, Crawford was named the Most Powerful Woman and Second Most Powerful Person by Forbes only surpassed by the King. She was also nominated the Nobel Peace Prize for efforts in assisting the Korean Peninsula in achieving peace.


Addendum

Until High School, M.A. Crawford was reported by teachers as being “lazy”, “slacking”, “shy”, and “behind”, however, in High School her teachers reported her performance to be outstanding. Throughout Schooling Crawford had always achieved high scoring on Standardized Exams, resulting in confusion amongst teachers and getting classed up to Class 2 in Junior High School.
Crawford claimed that she rushed marriage with her husband because she was so shy that she worried that she would not be able to find another man in time. Although she is very shy, she is reported to have outstanding public speaking skills and socialization with foreign world leaders, she has been quoted saying “It’s kind of easier to socialize with people when you have more nukes than them” a similar statement to that of the King, “You will find it much easier to socialize with people you can control because you know if you mess up, they’ll be too afraid to say anything”

M.A. Crawford is of Australian decent as her maternal grandparents had moved to a Province called Fargaust before her mother was born, and her father was born in Australia but moved to Fargaust when he was 3. Farguast is her home in the South-West Pacific, she was born in a town called Hampton and practically lived there all her life, she lived in the dormitories at the Regium Academia de Magister Artium and moved back to Hampton City. Later she moved to the Capital for Parliament.

Alice Crawford has raised $120M for Charities worldwide, including $68M to the Environmental Protection Organization and Poverty Reduction Centers worldwide. The rest varied from health organizations to hospitals. Alice Crawford, while in the Economic Policy Committee, also managed to convince fellow chairmen and women to delegate more funding to the Disaster repair of the Dave Barett Jones building, immediately prior to election to the Civil Services Committee.

Crawford was also a very notable member of the “Save our Troops, Pull out of the Middle East” campaign and was also very supportive of Former President Joseph Neideringhart’s action to abolish and restructure welfare, which she has successfully conducted.

As President, M.A. Crawford has stated that the King is serving as the best mentor she’s ever had along with Former President Neideringhart and her best friend as being the Queen.

It was reported that M.A. Crawford pleaded to the King to allow her to stay in office of President and repair the damages caused by her short termed predecessor and received great support from Former President Joseph Neideringhart.

“As President, Mrs. Crawford has made leaps and bounds against what her running mate had originally intended when he wanted the presidency and has greatly defied the prejudice and expectations of the people in the recent actions she’s made for the nation. In my time of being King, I have generally seen Presidents comply with what they are expected and often times that makes them overly-predictable. President Crawford has made many leaps and bounds to classify herself as an exemplary President who deserves all the commendation she can receive, I have personally commended her on her actions and will continue to observe the wisdom that has come with her Master of the Arts.”
-King’s Note

Also the first President to be under 6ft in height in almost five decades

He left the Armed Forces around the age of 45, he did not leave immediately for politics and actually began working in administrative services outside the military. However after the 2003 Purge of the Atlantic Loyalists in Parliament he saw an opportunity to apply for Parliament and to his surprise he was accepted.

Political Career



Rudolph has had a very simple political career mostly outlined by his service in Parliament, however he has made several attempts to run for President of the Provincial Union. He has not succeeded in running for President, however in 2020 President Crawford offered an opportunity for Mr. Rudolph to run as her running mate as Vice President Watson did not intend on remaining as Vice President. Originally President Crawford intended to offer to run with Rudolph as the primary but understood that it would split the vote and they would likely not win and it was considered very unconventional for the sitting President to switch to Vice President and running mate for another politician to run as President.

Vice Presidency



Domestic Policy

Immigration
Throughout his career, Vice President Rudolph has voted on many sides of the matter of immigration including in support and against, when asked his opinion he has always responded with; "I don't care for politicising immigration, if people were more reliable then this issue would not be an issue", journalists and fellow politicians are unsure of his intent with the word people and in general with the statement.

Foreign perceptions
Vice President Rudolph's moderate left-leaning views have contributed to him being considered the 'closest' of National Government officials to Europe, however in recent years as European and American politics veer far left he has found himself further alienated from them.

NPNM Interview
(c. 2021)

General Information



Thomas Edison Lutz (born January 14, 1972) is a Slavic-Pacifican politician who currently serves as the 1st Minister Chief of the United Provinces of the Pacific since January 22, 2016. He also served as the 281st and final Minister Chief of the Provincial Union from 2016 until the office's dissolution in 2021.

Lutz was born on January 14, 1972 in Marcoville, Madrick. He graduated from Regium Academia in 1999 with a Magister Artium de Civilis Scientias. When at a young age, Lutz joined the United Provincial Air Force. While enlisted in the Air Force, Lutz was also enrolled into multiple academies and earned degrees up to the point of the Regium Academia, while he claimed his aspirations were to be in a more major military title, he was satisfied with his current position. Throughout his tenure in Parliament, Lutz has voted correctly on 98% of proposals, the highest percentage of any member of Parliament since 1948 when Chairman Lance Vicilin held 98.2% of proposals correct.

Lutz was named after the famous American Inventor, Thomas Edison. Lutz reported his childhood to be a rough one as he grew up in a large home.

Early Life



Thomas Edison Lutz was born on January 14, 1972 at Mercy Catholic Hospital in Marcoville, a small town in the Madrick Province. Lutz was born to Robert and Jane Lutz as their first child and later had three siblings. He was raised for the majority of his childhood in an apartment in Marcoville until his family moved to a large house in the Province of Baroatoa. Lutz is of primarily Slavic ancestry with some Caucasian roots from his maternal side. Lutz described his life in his family as being difficult as the oldest as he was "often overlooked" by his parents.

Education
Lutz attended local schools however finished collegiate education in Regium Academia.

Personal Life



While attending a local High School, Lutz met Michelle Ristoch, a fellow student two years younger, who he later married when she was 15 years of age and he was 17, however no provincial law at the time restricted underaged marriage.

Political Career



Lutz began his political career in 2001 when he ran for a Parliamentary Chair position which was opened following the retirement of the former member. Lutz proceeded to dictate the Parliament with his voice and contributed the greatest amount of influence when Parliament was passing or turning down a bill. Lutz had decided to run for office while a reservist in the Armed Forces. In 2014, Lutz was nominated for the position of Deputy Chairman of the Parliament for being so heavily voiced and holding one of the longest chair residencies in the Parliament. While serving as the Deputy Chairman of the Parliament, Lutz made many great strides to get heavily advocated bills through the Parliament. Through his tenure as Deputy Chairman, Lutz often would hold private sessions with members of Parliament, resulting in great political retaliation at the claim that he was threatening them, in order to sway members in favour of whatever bill was at vote. In 2015, Lutz ran for the position of Minister Chief in order to promote communication between the Parliament and Congress.

Minister Chief


Domestic Policy

Economic Policy
Lutz has stated himself in strong support for isolating the National Economy from the international market as he believes that it can cause a recession to occur should other nations fall first. Lutz has been quoted as saying "Becoming involved in the international market is like attaching a tether to a leaning building, if it falls, you go with it" expressing his strong disapproval of connections to the international economy.

Education and health
Lutz has stated that he is in strong support for the educational system because his family values education greatly and he struggled with education when he was younger but the National Government was more than capable of helping and it did. Lutz has stated that the since no one is completely the same in health, then individual provinces should uniquify their health services to adapt to the local populace.

Social services
Lutz has stated on more than one occasion that by removing Social Services there can be an expected increase in deathcare demand because more people will no longer be able to afford basic necessities and healthcare.

Environmental policies
Lutz has stated that the Earth is "our home" and should "come first in all things that are natural, unnatural, or likewise" confirming his advocacy for protecting the environment. He has also advocated for boosts in the Environmental Protection Organisation's budget.

Energy policies
Lutz has stated that he believes the Energy Crisis "hoopla" as completely "bogus" and "fake" also coining it the term "fake news" in light of Donald Trump's use of the word.

Immigration
Lutz holds a strong belief that the walls and gates should be closed and stay closed for foreigners that are not in any way connected to the Provincial Union through heritage.

Foreign Policy

War on Terror
Lutz has stated that the War on Terror is "completely unnecessary" and a "War of Black Gold" resulting in widespread use of the term and causing much hatred and despisal towards the ongoing wars in the Middle East.

Surveillance
Lutz has stated that in order to prevent terrorism and criminal abundance, surveillance is a must and is necessary to maintain any form of utopia.

United States of America
Lutz has stated he has an admiration for American politics, however feels they could be improved. He has specifically targeted the functionality of US elections and the "abnormal way they neglect the voter", citing the US electoral college design and its lack of alignment with popular votes.

In 2023, Lutz has attacked the many of the US Government's policies in the way of handling former US President Donald Trump, stating that "President Trump is being unjustly dragged through the mud, this is a private affair so why publicise every development made on his case".

Russian Federation
Lutz has stated that he greatly respects Russia due to his roots and family history, he has not said much in the way of its political system but has often complimented the Russian people. In 2022, Lutz criticised the Russian invasion of Ukraine and petitioned for peace. This view seemingly changed in 2023 as Lutz has called on Ukraine to surrender "in order to avoid further bloodshed".

On 25 June 2023, the Wagner Group declared an armed rebellion against the Russian Government which in turn called the Provincial Union to arms. Lutz offered his services as a mediator for the two sides to settle their differences and come to an agreement to avoid bloodshed.

Europe
Lutz has stated that he is "not a fan" of the functionality and design of European politics and policies. He has not gone into much detail, however in 2022 he strongly criticised Germany for its reliance on fossil fuels and natural gas as opposed to nuclear energy as they had formerly relied on until recently.

Cultural and political image

Image
Lutz shares many views on controversial topics with the public resulting in widespread support especially by Eastern European nations for his Slavic and Caucasian heritage. Many people don't trust him due to his old association with the DIS on matters of Conspiracy in the Best Interest of the National Government.

Foreign perceptions
Eastern Europe greatly favours Lutz as they view his heritage as a form of support for Eastern Politics and believe it to increase relations with Slavic and Caucasian nations.

Public Appearances
Lutz holds frequent meetings and interviews with press as he believes "Communication with the Public should be number one in a Government's Priorities". He also appears in many public statements and speeches.

General Information



Victor Vance Larsen (born January 16, 1965) is a Danish-Atlantic politician who currently serves as the 1st First Minister of the Atlantic Oceanic States since August 5th, 2017. He was also the 3rd and final Provisional Governor of the Atlantic from 2014 until 2017.

Larsen was born on January 16, 1965 in the Atlantic Capital City, Atlantic Capital Province. He graduated from James Carney A.O.S. Military Academia in 1994 with a Philosophical Doctorate in Political and Military Sciences. During his education he was also serving in the Atlantic Regional Militia as a First Lieutenant. Larsen has served in the Pano-Pacifican War and also served during both Atlantic Wars for Independence. During both Atlantic Wars for Independence, Larsen was reportedly not engaged in combat as he refused to fight Pacifican Soldiers. Larsen grew a care for Pacifican Soldiers after he was saved by one while fighting Panomian forces. Larsen was the oldest of three children to Mark and Marilyn Larsen and was also the most tame and well behaved. While his siblings were in boarding schools, Larsen remained with his parents and went to a local military school in the Capital of the Atlantic where he was educated the entirety of his early life.

After marriage, Larsen lived in a small town, his wife's hometown, called Aeriot where he lived with his wife and, at the time, single child. After returning he then moved back to the Atlantic Capital and resumed his military career until 2008 when he was elected for a Parliamentary Chair in the Atlantic General Legislature. Through his time in Parliament, Larsen had experienced many bills and proposals that he stated were "nothing less than horrendous". Following his entry into his political career, Larsen had focused much of his time and effort into reforming the healthcare system after his mother was diagnosed with Colon Cancer in 2016.

Early Life



Victor Vance Larsen was born on January 16, 1965 at Yuri General Hospital in Atlantic City, the capital city of the Atlantic. Larsen was born to Mark and Marilyn Larsen and is the oldest child to the pair. Larsen is of Danish and Norwegian ancestry with some Dutch and German. Larsen's family was often corrupt as his younger siblings would often get into fights so far as to claw at each other until Larsen's parents sent the two to boarding schools in the South Atlantic, leaving Larsen alone to his parents. Soon after graduating High School Larsen chose to enlist in the Armed Forces, even against his parents' will, following in his father's career of logistics and leadership. Larsen then utilised the armed forces to pay for his schooling further.

Education
Larsen was educated throughout his childhood in various integrated military schools, he was the only child to not be sent to a boarding school as he was also the best behaved child of his parents. Following general education, Larsen enlisted in the armed forces and used his income to pay for further schooling from 1985 until 1994. In this time he had met his wife and had his daughter Katie.

Personal Life



In 1989, Larsen met Helen Bond while at a Commissioned Officer Training Corps, in 1991 prior to being split to separate locations, the two married and in 1993 were reunited while in Germany on military leave. A month later Bond was discharged due to pregnancy and moved to her hometown, Aeriot in the East Atlantic. Larsen returned to Aeriot later that year and the two had their first child, Katie. Two years later their second child was born, Joe. In 1995, the two moved to the Atlantic Capital City, however Larsen was summoned by the Atlantic Regional Militia to fight against the Provincial Union, to which he completely repulsed and rejected as he stated he would not fight his "Brothers and Sisters in Arms" and returned to the Capital on a defense mission however he, in turn, was demoted to the rank of lieutenant. In 1997, while touring Barcelona, Spain, Larsen's sister was struck in a drunk-driving collision involving one of his brother's childhood friends, while returning she passed in the hospital on May 9th, at the age of 26. Larsen then severed all ties with his brother and only spoke through his mother and father.

In 2003, following the Atlantic War for Independence, Larsen's father was put in a coma after having an aneurysm, he died later that year on October 23rd. Larsen had taken extended leave from the armed forces in order to mourn for his father, however he was then summoned in order to fight for the second Atlantic War for Independence, which he again, declined and was assigned to the Capital for a background leadership role. In 2008, Larsen had decided to withdraw from the armed forces on regards that he feared that the Atlantic would revolt again and he wished to improve relations between the Provincial Union and Atlantic Oceanic States.

Political Career



In 2008, Larsen ran for an Atlantic General Parliamentary Chair after the chair holder had passed recently, a year after he was assigned as the Chairman of the Economic Committee of the Atlantic Oceanic States. He had run many programs and efforts as the Chairman to increase and benefit the Atlantic including programs to remove limits set in place by the previous administrations. He later resigned and remained a chair for two years before running for National Parliament which he had succeeded and served from 2012 until 2014. While in the National Parliament, Larsen had made many efforts to push motions that would help to limit the power of the government, however he was often out-voiced by higher officials.

In 2013, Larsen was nominated, by previous colleagues in the Regional Parliament, to be the Provisional Governor of the Atlantic Oceanic States, he was victorious in his efforts and succeeded to attain office, he held the shortest tenure over the previous two Governors with only three years, six months, and sixteen days. Larsen was also very controversial in his statements and opinions as he had stated he was against abortion, same-sex marriage, and marijuana which attributed to society's attempt to overthrow him and his administration in late 2016. Larsen had also stated that he intended for the Atlantic Oceanic States to remain a section of the Provincial Union and would no longer secede, although many people strongly opposed this opinion, his government was in full support of his opinions however the people had later in 2016 attempted to overthrow him, however never were successful in removing him from office.

First Minister


Domestic Policy

Economic Policy
Larsen has been quoted as stating himself for a completely free market system as he has no intentions for the government to intervene on anything that occurs in the daily lives of citizens as he believes that in order to keep the market successful one must leave it to the people to determine whether or not it succeeds and how successful it may be at that.

Education and health
In education, Larsen is a strong supporter for governmental funding to public and private schools as he had attended private military schools himself and believed it necessary for the government to assist in their success. Larsen believes in a strong governmental enforcement over healthcare as he believes it necessary for the government to assist and pay for a majority of the bills that are distributed to people on behalf of hospitals. He has stated that the price of a hospital bill is "outrageous and unbearable" and has put his full support in boosted government funding of the healthcare and welfare systems. Larsen has also focused much of his healthcare prioritisation towards his Cancer research in honour of his mother.

Social services
Larsen is in full support of establishing welfare and disability funds for national or former national representatives and veterans who may need it, he had stated that the removal and nullification of welfare programs by President Neideringhart was "financially crippling" and was in full support for the reinstatement of welfare programs.

Environmental policies
Larsen has stated himself as "living by" the belief that we must repay our environment for its hospitality and not harm it. Larsen has requested increased funds to the Departments of Agriculture and the Interior along with the Environmental Protection Organisation.

Energy policies
Larsen is fully against the belief that in order to recover from a possible 'energy crisis' there needs to be more power facilities installed. Larsen has stated that the installation of any new and unnecessary power facilities would be detrimental to the environment and could possibly cripple the economy from overproduction and over-hiring.

Immigration
Larsen did not officially announce his stance on immigration until 2024, although many of his actions throughout his tenure were against policies promoting immigration.

In 2024, Larsen revealed he had been secretly promoting policies against immigration throughout his tenure. Although, most news agencies had already determined it was likely Larsen pushing the "shadow policies".

2020 Election
Larsen won the 2020 Atlantic FM race with 58% of the vote. He had many opponents, none of whom reached more than 10% of the vote.

Expansion of the Oceanic Leaders' Powers
Larsen was a major promoter of expanding the powers of the Oceanic Leaders to cover National-level politics. He advocated for increased say from the Oceanic Leaders in the High Council, however did not push for the addition of Oceanic Leaders to the High Council even when legislation was pending to do so.

Foreign Policy

War on Terror
Being a former member of the armed forces, Larsen has stated himself as against peace offerings to terror-cells and was quoted as saying "send another one" following the nuclear strike by the Provincial Union on ISIL in 2015 following the November Paris Attacks.

Surveillance
Larsen has often advocated the belief that if the people are apathetic towards the government, then the government will act the same. He has motioned himself as being in full support of governmental surveillance however will not ever support private imaging by corporations as he believes they are not fully as trustworthy as the government.

United States of America
Larsen has stated his admiration for the United States to be "profound" and has also attempted to implement more American policies in the Atlantic and Nationally, however many of his constituents have opposed these measures and he has often rescinded them. Larsen's relationship with the United States has soured since he first took office as the United States has reportedly "acted cold" in all manners of meetings and interactions since 2021.

In 2023, Larsen condemned the indictment of former US President Donald Trump, stating that it is a "gross hypocrisy" and "neglectful to the criminals in power". Hours after his statement, Larsen banned the travel of American politicians to and from the Atlantic Oceanic States, stating that the policy will remain in place until the end of his tenure or until Hunter Biden, the son of US President Joe Biden, is arrested for his alleged dealings with Ukraine and under foreign powers.

Russian Federation
In 2022, Larsen condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine, however has also called for Ukraine to surrender in the later months of the war. In 2023, Larsen was asked as to why he supports Russia in the ongoing Russian Invasion of Ukraine, he answered by stating that "Russia is too valuable an ally to take sides against".

On 25 June 2023, when the Wagner Group declared an armed rebellion against the Russian Government which in turned called the Provincial Union to arms, Larsen offered to assist in mediating a peace between the Wagner Group and the Russian Government.

Armenia
Larsen condemned the 2020 War over Karabakh and advocated for the total support of Armenia during the conflict. Larsen attended the funerals of the UPAF Servicemembers that were killed and spoke against the "unwarranted act of aggression".

Cultural and political image

Image
Being a native of the Atlantic, Larsen has earned much approval from the government of the Atlantic, however in recent years has been seen with a bad public image as people are not in full support of his beliefs. However his comedy while in office has earned him a lot of favour from the people.

Foreign perceptions
Foreign national leaders have insulted and advocated against Larsen for his opinions however he has retaliated with "You do you, and I do I, stay out of what I believe in and I'll stay out of what you do" leading many world leaders to push for reconsideration of his role, however the National Government has stated against reconsideration for the reason "He represents the beliefs of the Atlantic, don't like him, then you are protesting their beliefs and their freedom of speech."

Public Appearances
Larsen has made few public appearances as First Minister however has stated he intends to be the Nations foremost diplomat when necessary. Larsen has been effective as a diplomat as his fluency in German has benefited relations with Germany.

Recognition
Larsen was awarded the Regiis Pacem Numisma (Royal Peace Award) in 2015 for maintaining tranquility between the AOS and Provincial Union.


Addendum

In 1973, when relocating schools, his teachers had all claimed they wished to not see him go as he would keep his classmates in check.

In 1976, when considered relocation to avoid a military-based school system, Dr. Larsen requested not only to stay, but to board at a local barracks in order to “truly taken on military life” although his boarding request was denied, he was able to stay.

When Graduating Junior High, he was asked why he was only an Air Man First Class, at which point he said, “I know the reasons I need to fix, and I will, but for now I am all that I have to blame”

He is acknowledged as being the final influencing factor in the decision that brought an end to staff interference at his High School. He later enrolled in a Prep. Academy, and when asked why he was not Valedictorian, he stated, “I wanted to make the others a bit more… comfortable.”

Following his completion of school, Victor Larsen enlisted in the Atlantic Militia, a decision he later claims he regret. “I never regret anything more than that, supporting the war effort was like telling one of my siblings I’ll help them kill my father, we bit the hand that fed us, and I am glad we learned a lesson.” The claim was made before the A.O.S. ceded back into the Provincial Union.

He did continue enlistment until 2008 when he retired and ran for the Atlantic Parliament, he unfortunately witnessed its destruction in 2010, however he remained provisionally in its Regional Parliament.

Dr. Larsen has raised nearly $12M for charities and hospitals alike. He has a contract with the, former, Atlantic Government, stating that should war break out with another country, he will enlist.

Victor Larsen has made the frequent statement of his position on Abortion, Same-Sex Marriage, and Marijuana, all of which he has been quoted as stating he is against.
While in Parliament until 2014, he had his career focus on the seat of Chairman of the National Armed Services Board, that board was unfortunately cleared out months following his withdrawal from Parliament.

After serving as Provisional Governor, Larsen was removed from office as he was overthrown by the very people that put him there, he apologized for anything he did, the crowd responded that he hated his country and despises their Independence. Although he was never really removed from office legally, he was not paid or awarded the title from late 2016 until his inauguration in August of 2017 as First Minister.

In 2017, Victor Larsen was chosen by the A.O.S. Provisional Government to be the First Minister, he stated he was surprised as he was in fact planning to take on a more independent role as a “professor or something”.

“I commend the actions of Dr. Larsen, he acts primarily with the intent of securing his Oceanic Government and the people under his governance. I consider this of the utmost admirability and I believe his continued service to the Provincial Union is greatly anticipated with much hope and sincerity. His passion does not lie in his wallet or in his ears, he pulls his actions and beliefs from his morals and from what he believes the most available to the people of the Atlantic and of the Provincial Union. He has served his nation with dedicated strength pushing until he falls weak having used all his capability. He is devout to our Creator and to his people, he believes solely in the progress that can be achieved by unified hard working peoples and he continues his efforts to proceed with this”.
-King’s Note

“My time working with Dr. Larsen proves everyday that he is dedicated to his work and extremely loyal to the nation and the people. I withhold no doubt in my heart or mind that he will continue doing only what is best for the whole of the country. He has seen and predicted what is necessary to push for progress in this nation and he has acted with the right level of humanity that is completely necessary for a work environment and profession such as his. The capability of a leader to act with a level of seriousness, professionalism, and even integrating humour to the equation makes him an invaluable asset to the people and the nation, I look forward to our continued work together”.

Inaugural Speech

General Information



Safiya Lubab Kouri Nazari (born June 18, 1971) is an Indian-Pacifican politician who currently serves as the 1st Principal-in-Chief of the Indian Oceanic Provinces since January 22, 2018. She has also been named the Greatest Politician of Our Time by NPNM and nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize three times, the third being considered in 2023.

Nazari was born on June 18, 1971 in Potthar, Igbus Isle. She graduated from Uniservice College in the South Pacific Ocean in 1995 with a Masters in Military Sciences.

Nazari was a major women's rights activist in the Indian Oceanic Provinces.

Early Life



Safiya Lubab Kouri was born on June 18, 1971 at Mahatma Gandhi Dedicatory Clinic in Potthar, a township in the Igbus Isle Province. She was born to Ebrahim and Khalisah Kouri and was the only child to the pair. Nazari was late to start schooling due to local instability which was postponing most students' education in the area. Nazari encountered segregation by school authorities due to the local culture requiring males and females to be separate, this led to her activism for women's rights in the Indian Ocean. Since the age of 13, Nazari had been speaking at public events in her home town to counter the inequality among men and women. Nazari was also one of the leading factors to end the local laws prohibiting women from advancing past age 17 in the public education system. However in 1989, Nazari was challenged by many former members of the local Traditional Party, which had been forcefully disbanded by National Legislation years prior. Members of the party had barricaded Nazari in her home and in 1991, assaulted her mother while she returned from a festival celebrating peace, Nazari was quoted as saying "that was the coincidence that pushed too far", she immediately pleaded to the Provincial and Regional Governments to no avail until she filed to the National Government in the claim that the individuals were formed as a political party. In 1992 her request was acknowledged and National Government Legislative Inspectors investigated the local laws and groups and charged the members of the party with illegal congregation and conspiracy by National Law. Nazari received critical retaliation by locals claiming she had went 'too far' in her schooling she was no longer able to continue schooling and in 1997 withdrew from schooling in the South Pacific to help her family who were threatened by the locals.

Education
Nazari attended local schools however finished collegiate education in Uniservice College in the South Pacific Ocean.

Personal Life



While tending with parents to her home garden, Sulaiman Nazari was introduced to her in 1987. The two married in October of 1991 in order to fit a 'colour scheme' and abide by the Regional Laws against underaged marriage. The pair married primarily as a tactic by Kouri and Nazari's parents to help her fight the local law as she would not be heard had she remained independent as a woman. Nazari, in 1998 stated that the legal system in the North-West Indian Oceanic Provinces was "sexist and extremely frightening" as shown by the shocking ratio of incarcerated women to men(13:1) a majority of which were for violated respect laws towards men. Nazari stated she was "envious" of the rest of the nation in its equality between genders and races, so much so that she had attempted to relocate to the capital, however was denied departure at her local airport due to being "unaccompanied" by a male. Nazari stated she believed it to be a sign she needed to stay and help repair at home. In 2000 following the Spire Terrorist Attack on July 5, Nazari had been visiting the IOP capital and was later stranded for days until an Ocean Liner was able to take her to her Province where she was threatened at the entry port, thankfully another passenger, from a province near Australia, onboard the ship prior to its departure had helped her through the protest, she stated that she "had never realised the power of a white man" as most individuals had immediately moved away as the passenger approached.

Nazari had always traveled with a Regional Government Official or 'white' businessman in order to assist her voice being heard. In 2005, this strategy was noted by National Government Officials who investigated the province for Civil Rights violations, a National Law that Nazari claimed she had "forgotten exists", following the investigation it was found that her manipulation of fear through white individuals was not illegal, however the provincial segregation of women was. In 2007 the provincial law had changed to protect all individuals from segregation in her area, including women.

Political Career



In 2008 and 2010 Nazari ran for Parliament in the Indian Ocean, however was unsuccessful until 2012 when she had caught National attention and was commended by then President, Robert Freeman, who stated in a public dinner that she had "made waves that echoed across the country" and he stated in 2018 that she was the reason he paid more attention to provinces and regions. She continued advocating for equal rights to all citizens in the Indian Ocean which caught attention from citizens in the East Indian Ocean as well. In 2014, Nazari was nominated by a Parliamentary Chair from the East Indian Ocean for Parliamentary Adjutant, the third highest rank in the IOP Parliament, and the votes in Parliament shockingly showed overwhelming support from the East Indian Ocean and unfortunate opposition from the West Indian Ocean. From 2014 until becoming Principal-in-Chief in 2018, Nazari had strongly advocated for civil rights in the West Indian Ocean, and in 2017 she was nominated to run for Principal-in-Chief, however following a long period of indecisiveness from the Indian Oceanic Parliament, the National Government forced a decision and named her the Principal-in-Chief due to her position as adjutant having been the most similar to what the office required.

Principal-in-Chief


Domestic Policy

Economic Policy
Nazari has pushed for independent economic practices among provinces, advocating that provinces should make an effort to be independent of regional, oceanic, and National governments. She has also implemented policies which have resulted in Regions and higher-level governments to tax poorer provinces less. Additionally, Nazari has integrated the Resource fields in many provinces to benefit the economy of the entire Ocean, she has also implemented policies to "give back wealth" to poorer provinces under the conditions that the money be used strictly for the betterment of the people and not for any change of the government.

She has been described as a "Modern Socialist" due to her policies taking wealth from areas of overabundance and giving it to the poor. This has led to her being criticised by many throughout the Country, however even anti-Socialist hardliners in the National Government have supported her with Robert Freeman having said "if it works for her, then let it work".

Campaign and Lobbying Cap Act
In 2019, Nazari implemented a Campaign and Lobbying Cap on politicians in the Indian Oceanic Provinces, effectively limiting how much money could be earned by political officials. When asked where the money would go, she responded "give it back to the people". This action nearly resulted in her being removed from office, however many provinces benefited and many Indian Oceanic Members of Parliament feared removing her from office due to the high risk of public backlash.

In 2023, she doubled down in her efforts and banned campaigning and lobbying from provinces determined to be impoverished according to the National Departmental Ministry of the Treasury. However, she implemented a system where the Indian Oceanic Treasury would determine if and how much a campaign can be subsidised.

Education and health
Upon her inauguration, Nazari promised to increase the effectiveness of education in the northern and rural areas of the Indian Oceanic Provinces. She has also stated that she is in full support of boosting the Healthcare system. She has successfully pushed for the increase of funding covering education and healthcare, however many of her proposals have been blocked by the Indian Oceanic Parliament even if there are only slight changes to the status quo.

In 2022, Nazari subsidised schools and hospitals throughout the Indian Ocean and implemented a Minimum Acceptable Level for both Health and Education, requiring that all schools meet a certain curriculum level and all hospitals meet a certain health and safety requirement.

Law Enforcement
Upon taking office, Nazari implemented multiple Oceanic law enforcement agencies into a category she called the Aadesh, which is Hindi for "Order". She has placed the agencies throughout the Indian Oceanic Provinces dedicated to certain types of criminal activities. The agencies are often referred to as the modern Gestapo by her opponents due to their quick, harsh, and decisive movements against criminal activities, and some operating under a doctrine of "Shoot first, ask questions later" per her request.

In 2023, NPNM reported that since the implementation of the Aadesh, crime rates in the Indian Oceanic Provinces were only 38% of what they were when Nazari took office.

In mid-July 2022, Nazari deployed Aadesh agents to stores and malls with greater than ₳10,000 worth of total merchandise value in order to apprehend robbers, thieves, and shoplifters. Later that year, she gave the order to "shoot first, ask questions later" for anyone caught committing armed robbery, and loosened restrictions on agents regarding use-of-force towards shoplifters.

Indian Oceanic Prison Crisis
In 2021, the prison systems throughout the Indian Oceanic Provinces were overloaded by inmates brought in by the Aadesh agencies, Nazari implemented a "split" system towards inmates in order to make vacancies. Nazari pardoned all minor crimes, especially victimless crimes in what was called the "Great Second Chance". However, she also ordered that the death penalty be applied to anyone incarcerated due to rape or murder. She received severe backlash, however still pursued the effort and as of 2023, no Indian Oceanic prison retains an inmate guilty of rape or murder. Additionally, cases of rape or murder throughout the Indian Oceanic Provinces have declined by almost 90%.

Fire and Rescue
In 2020, Nazari mandated provinces in the Indian Ocean to have at least one form of unbiased public fire and rescue service. Prior to this, most provinces in the Indian Ocean utilised entirely privatised fire and rescue services which would show preference towards specific areas and customers.

Two months later, she amended the Order to require Oceanic subsidisation for the fire and rescue services.

Environmental policies
Nazari has stated that she believes the environment and ecosystem should show first and foremost in everything.

In 2020, Nazari implemented an Executive Order that for every tree uprooted or destroyed, it must be replaced by two sapling trees.

Energy policies
Nazari has made a very specific stance in support of hydroelectric power generation, she has not voiced support for other forms of energy production.

In 2021, she supported President Crawford's push for nuclear implementation throughout the Provincial Union, however she stated she would require National Oversight towards the operations of the Nuclear facilities due to the low literacy rates in much of the Ocean.

Immigration
Nazari has before praised the National Government for its closure of the borders in order to protect the 'sanctity' of the Nation. However, in 2020 when the borders were closed due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, she opposed the move strongly as it nearly crippled the export-focused economy of the Indian Oceanic Provinces.

Retirement
On 31 May 2023, following a prolonged period of political inactivity, the Indian Oceanic Government stated Nazari was expected to retire by the end of the year. It is believed the rumour originated from the Indian Oceanic Parliament where many members consistently opposed her since her inauguration due to their preference of a male leader and opposition towards many of her policies. President Crawford stated she has been supporting Nazari to stay in office despite the growing opposition from the Indian Oceanic Government pushing to replace her, Crawford has referred to Nazari as "likely the only woman who will ever hold the office [of Principal-in-Chief]". Crawford's efforts have caused her a great deal of unpopularity throughout the Indian Ocean as people oppose her "liberal" efforts to keep Nazari.

The Indian Oceanic Parliament preemptively identified Martin Saori, her Vice Principal-in-Chief, to succeed her on the same day that the Parliament announced her retirement. On 8 June, after reportedly having a discussion with Nazari, Saori refused the appointment and decided to "stand with Ms. Nazari". The Indian Oceanic Parliament has persisted that the rumours were "at one point true", Saori apologised for 'assuming' that what he was told was the truth.

On 8 June 2023, Nazari rejected the idea that she is retiring and stated that it was an effort to force her out of office.

On 12 August 2023, Nazari met with Crawford to discuss growing fears of a rebellion from within the Indian Oceanic Parliament, the King was reportedly informed of the details regarding the meeting.

Foreign Policy

War on Terror
Nazari has voiced that terrorism is a "menace on the world", however has avoided referring to some Middle Eastern groups as Islamic Extremists and consciously omits the word Islamic or any words hinting at relation to the Middle East or Islam.

Surveillance
Nazari has commended the National Government on its 'creative use' of cameras to insure the best median between natural privacy rights and national surveillance rights.

Russia
Nazari has stated she does not care for conflicts of any type and has advocated for peace in the region.

Armenia
Nazari attended the funerals of the Servicemembers that were killed by a rocket attack from Azerbaijan in 2020 and condemned Azerbaijan's attack on Armenia.

Cultural and political image

Religion
Nazari is the most prominent member of government to not be Christian as she is a follower of Hinduism due to her ethnic background and having lived in a majority Hindu environment. She has not stated the strength of her beliefs.

Image
Nazari has made herself in an image of a traditional Hindu woman in accordance with her ethnic and religious background. Nazari is vastly unpopular in the Indian Oceanic Provinces among politicians and wealthy individuals due to her liberal attitude and actions towards the Ocean. Middle and lower class citizens and residents support her immensely due to her actions causing great improvement to the lives of middle and lower class citizens and residents.

Nazari is considered extremely controversial in the Indian Oceanic Provinces as she was not desired to be selected for office, however her actions have resulted in mixed emotions from citizens and residents throughout the Ocean. President Crawford has advocated that voting rights be corrected in the Ocean so Nazari may be reelected rather than rely on the opinions of the Oceanic Parliament. Nazari has attempted to change the voting rights, however has been blocked by the Oceanic Parliament every time.

Foreign perceptions
Nazari is often praised by foreign governments and organisations due to her actions and efforts in humanitarianism and with improving the Indian Oceanic Provinces. Some foreign governments have criticised her as having been placed in power only to support diversity. Nazari is often considered one of the most liberal members of the National Government, however she also holds extremely conservative personal and family values.

Public Appearances
In accordance with the laws of the Indian Oceanic Provinces, Nazari sits in during every session of the Indian Oceanic Parliament and is additionally required to state her opinions during the sessions. She has also appeared to represent the Provincial Union at the United Nations General Assembly, the United Nations had pressured the Provincial Union to be more accepting and diverse in its leadership and it is believed that she was used as the "token".

Recognition
Nazari was awarded the IOP-Political News and Media title as Person of the Year of 2017. She was also awarded the Golden Cross by the Indian Oceanic Government in 2018. Since she took office, she has received multiple humanitarian awards domestically and internationally. In 2023, NPNM named her the Greatest Politician of Our Time due to the massive improvements throughout the Indian Oceanic Provinces on account of her actions.


Addendum

“I've had the pleasure of working with Principal Nazari since 2018 and I have never seen someone so committed to improving an impossible image. Despite the unjust bias against her within her own region, she has worked with extreme and profound effort to change the hearts and minds of those around her who oppose her only because she is a woman. It is because of her actions that I have utmost respect for her, every day she fights a battlefield to gain support and every battle she fights beginning at the foot of the hill. With just as much effort as she puts into her work and into improving how her opposition perceives her, the opposition fights nearly as hard to keep her down and ruin her image. I am extremely honoured to have the opportunity to work with someone so tough and brave to be able to outlast each one of her opponents and critics, I will support her every step of the way for as long as she has her Ocean's provinces and the Nation's best interests in mind”.
-King’s Note

“I consider the work of Principal Nazari to be incredible in every way and that her approval should not be an immediate opinion basis for initial impressions. Her character and work have been exemplary in every way that can be expected of someone who has major opposition in her Parliament just for not being of the majority traits. Her continued attempts at protecting and securing the Indian Oceanic Provinces have been met with great support from the National Government but little to no support from her Oceanic Authority Legislature, lack of support from her Parliament has been considered a 'crippling back-blow' and is effective in only one thing, preventing anything from getting done. Her actions have spoken loudly of her character and her character has proven to be of remarkable quality. I consider Principal Nazari's tenure to be one of unity and quality. I look forward to continued work with Principal Nazari, assuming her Parliament is capable of putting aside their opposition to her and assist her in every way they can”.

General Information



Robert Johnson Freeman (born 27 October, 1952) is a Pacifican politician who served as the 212th President of the Union from the 22nd of January, 2001 until the 22nd of January, 2009. He now serves as the Commander-in-Chief of Ground Forces since the 18th of October, 2009. Freeman is also ranked by NPNM as the Best President of Modern Times.

Early Life



Robert Johnson Freeman was born on October 27, 1952 at an unknown Hospital in Madrick City, the Capital City of the Madrick Province. The Hospital that President Freeman was born at was apparently destroyed soon after he was born. Freeman has stated his childhood was very lacking as he did not enjoy the modern entertainment of electronics or likewise.

Education
Freeman attended public schools in Madrick City until High School when he was enrolled in a College Preparatory Academy, he finished his education at the Madrick Provincial University. Freeman was very successful in the school and was well known among military liaisons to his schools as he had high hopes of entering the Armed Forces after finishing his education.

Personal Life



Freeman was the son of Howard and Elisa Freeman, he was their eldest of three and since was placed in charge of his siblings through his childhood. Freeman stayed with his parents throughout his life until finishing college which he immediately joined the local Armed Forces. Freeman had not been enlisted for a full year before being relocated to an Atlantic base to provide support in the Democratic-Republican War, also known as the Centurial War. He stated that his experience in the war is the cause for his protective views of the Nation. Freeman met his future wife, Maria Tillsdale while he was stationed in the Atlantic Rebellion Province of Ceantene. Tillsdale received much opposition from her family for engaging in courtship with a man from the Pacific, following the end of the Democratic-Republican War, the two wed in the Madrick Province in 1974, Tillsdale's family did not attend.

Political Career



Robert Freeman was a member of the Armed Services until immediately prior to his attainment of the Office of President of the Provincial Union, he had served no prior public office and thus caused controversy.

Presidency



Freeman was named NPNM's Best President of Modern Times, the title effective as far back as 1945 where he is surpassed by Elizabeth Maxson who served during the Second World War.

Domestic Policy

Economic Policy
Freeman, as President, successfully returned vast wealth to the Provincial Union, primarily through aggressive trade deals.

Education and health
Freeman's policy on education still ripples today as he greatly manipulated the expenditure of the Nation to no longer favour the Armed Forces but rather to promote education and healthcare, he supported a free system of education and welfare for people in need.

Social services
Freeman sent strong support to social services, he believed strongly in expanding social services to provide for the poor and needy, Freeman also encouraged the increase of expenditure of the Nation towards social services to support the people.

Military and Defense
Freeman stated that he believed in keeping warfare away from the homeland as he had no intentions of allowing his people to be harmed in warfare. When the Atlantic Oceanic States declared independence for a second time in 2002, Freeman immediately crushed the rebellion without utilising Pacifican troops, however he stated; "Progressing a war on our own soil against our own people is the most disgraceful action I have taken in my entire life and will forever taint my posterity, I can be no more apologetic for the deaths I have inadvertently caused through attempting to maintain peace, I wish I were more careful", he also issued the following statement to the Atlantic Oceanic States; "I apologise for any transgressions we may have made against you, and I sincerely apologise for any I have made against you, we can work together to satisfy your needs and bring this Union closer to being United as it should be", the Provisional Governor of the Atlantic later stated that it was no personal cause against President Freeman to which Freeman responded; "while good news to me, we should not focus on quelling with each other, this is our Nation, one of four Oceans; Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic". Freeman also dispatched Naval forces to the Atlantic to protect the Atlantic Oceanic States from external invasion, many of the ships that he dispatched were sunk and many sailors captured, he only apologised to the sailors for not distancing them further from the war.

Environmental policies
Freeman believed the Biblical phrase by God that humanity had dominion over the Earth, he strongly believed that as it is the ability of the owners of a house to utilise it, they also retain the duties of maintaining said house, due to this he made major advancements in protecting the environment including an unthought of tactic of utilising the Navy to clean the seas, although unwanted by Naval personnel, his actions were very successful in cleaning the seas and encouraging people to reduce pollution and litter. He was greatly successful in reducing the amount of rubbish in the seas while not endangering civilians with chemicals of any kind or any other devices.

Energy policies
Freeman stated that as he was uneducated in terms of energy and similar that he would never be able to make an educated statement regarding it.

Immigration
Freeman stated that refugees were not welcome, however that qualified people were very welcome to enter the nation freely and he would encourage them to do so.

Nuclear Weapons
Freeman stated that he had no intention of ever placing his hands a nuclear key, however would do so if it meant protecting the Nation and its people.

Taxation
Freeman successfully resulted in major cuts to taxation, he compensated these cuts by increasing the payout of major trade deals, resulting in a major boost to the economy and a massive boost to his approval rating.

Public Reviews
A common occurrence was to see President Freeman sitting in National Square at a table with advisors sitting on either side of him and of course security behind and all around, this was usually done in a small bullet-proof room with a simple white table inside where people would come in and could speak directly to him, no President has ever had such one-on-one interaction with the people as he did. Press were not allowed in the room unless invited by the individual(s) who were meeting the President. Freeman also allowed many people to read the bills that he was about to sign, some people took photos, others smelled the ink. Many people came to see the President, and often times the wait would be tremendous in order to meet him, however most people did not regret it.

Second Atlantic Independence War

Foreign Policy

War on Terror
President Freeman was known for his reservence on using the Army and Navy to handle the War on Terror, he often utilised the Air Force to eliminate the threat abroad. Within the Nation, however, Freeman would not spare the Armed Forces from involvement as he would frequently dispatch them to the terror locations. His actions suffered Constitutional Reviews a vast multitude of times.

Surveillance
Freeman was a strong advocate against surveillance as he was quoted saying; "I don't want to know what you're doing, I don't want my people watching you choke your chicken, and I don't want you feeling uncomfortable knowing that they are". He had successfully vetoed a vast majority of surveillance acts which came through him for approval.

Middle East
President Freeman was well-known for not threatening without execution, a prime example being the wars in the Middle East where he would not risk the lives of the United Provincial Armed Forces, however would openly use the Air Force to destroy locations which were not even confirmed terrorist sites, another action of his which caused great controversy.

United Nations
As President, Freeman had the harshest relationship with the United Nations and let no opportunity pass to insult the United Nations, he was quoted saying; "The United Nations is a failed attempt at an authoritarian World Government to tell us when to wake up, eat, drink, [EXPLETIVE], and [EXPLETIVE] and I find it deceitful that they would find the courage to gather supporters within our nation to try and overthrow our government, if they do so much as advertise in this nation again, I will have our troops march straight through that building". One of his many quotes included his claims of "what is world peace without freedom?", a comment which garnered far more controversy than could ever have been anticipated. Since 2003 however, the United Nations distanced themselves from Freeman's affairs.

Trade
Freeman had an extremely nationalist view on trade, he had claimed that he stated; "If nations aren't willing to contribute a little extra for our cause, then why should we help theirs", a comment which caused plenty of controversy in foreign aid. Freeman had also successfully nullify trade agreements with 117 nations and revised them to a more suitable desire for the Nation, the only nation to challenge him; Russia, had immediately regretted it when embargoed the entirety of their Pacific Ports, he and President Vladimir Putin of Russia negotiated a deal called PROTA, the Pacifican-Russian Organisational Trade Agreement. Freeman was also successful in orchestrating a successful trade deal with the United States and Canada called the NAPTA, the North Atlantic and Pacific Trade Agreement, Mexico was set on a separate trade agreement. Freeman was extremely generous towards Mexico stating; "Their time for payment will not come during my term", a very vague comment which caused Mexico to ask many questions and resulted in Mexico's temporary termination of the Pacifican-Mexican Trade Agreement, PMTA. Freeman reinstated the agreement in late 2007. The largest of Freeman's trade deals was his with Europe, Freeman had discontinued trade through the English Channel and reduced trade through Gibraltar in order to pull trade authority from Great Britain, it was unknown what his despisal was of Great Britain but he had no intentions of supporting any trade with them, he had later introduced the Mediterranean-European Trade Agreement, which utilised the Mediterranean for trade, however focused trade authority through Spain by using ground caravans to pass Gibraltar.

Commander-in-Chief


Domestic Policy

Military and Defense
As CiC, Freeman has emphasized the protection of the borders of the Provincial Union through any means.

Nuclear Weapons
As the Army Commander-in-Chief, Freeman has no access to nuclear weapons and hence stated he has no further opinions regarding them as a Commander-in-Chief.

Foreign Policy

War on Terror
Freeman has stated the War on Terror a mistake to have been involved in and has stated he wishes for the Provincial Union to emphasize protecting and perfecting the Nation first.

United States of America

Russia and Ukraine
Freeman, in 2014, stated that he believes that Russia is the shell of the Soviet Union pretending to be a normal democracy, but that he believes it to still be a dictatorship, over time other world leaders and politicians have agreed and praised his statement's accuracy.

In 2022, Freeman stated that he still believes Russia to be a dictatorship posing as a democracy "as [he's] said before", and condemned the Russian Invasion of Ukraine as being senseless violence. Freeman also advocated for the support of Ukraine and pushed for the National Government to approve the deployment of Peacekeepers, he stood down after receiving what he said was "valid justification". Freeman later clarified the justification to be that the borders were still closed at the time and to deploy troops would be an unnecessary risk to the health and wellbeing of Pacificans.

Freeman is often noted as an outlier for his consistency in his position regarding Russia and Ukraine as he has stated even in the later months of the war that he believes Ukraine should continue fighting for its freedom, despite having referred to Zelenskyy as a despot in 2020 due to his attempts to silence political opposition in Ukraine. In 2023, Zelenskyy invited Freeman to have a meeting with him at "a location of his choosing", Freeman stated that he was interested but was not currently seeking political meetings.

On 27 March, 2023, Freeman concurred to drafted orders allowing surplus outdated equipment to be given to Ukraine, however the orders were unable to pass the Senate Armed Forces committee due to a debate about whether to request Ukraine pays for the equipment or to give it as charity. The drafted orders were scrapped on 31 March due to the inability of the Armed Forces committee to come to a final draft to officially distribute. In April 2023, he drafted the same orders to again propose for the transfer of surplus outdated equipment to Ukraine, however this time with support from the Queen, guaranteeing the order's legitimacy and success.

On 25 June 2023, the Provincial Union was called to arms by the Russian Federation after the Wagner Group declared armed rebellion against the Russian Government. Robert Freeman stated he was dismayed upon learning that the Provincial Union and, in turn, his subordinate Service, the Army, would be fighting for Russia in the midst of the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian War. He issued an apology to Ukraine for his "future actions", likely anticipating intervention in the Russian-Ukrainian War following the Call-to-Arms. Freeman fought heavily against putting the United Provincial Army in Russia, resulting in conflict between him and CiCAF George Nicholas who has historically been the dominant voice among the Commander-in-Chiefs due to his seniority in tenure. After the conflict, Freeman stated he regretted "fighting Nick" as CiC Nicholas is reportedly becoming increasingly lethargic. NPNM theorists have stated that if CiC Nicholas retires this year, it will be almost entirely due to this incident. Freeman has reportedly apologised to Nicholas and King Alexander over the incident.

Europe
Freeman has often called Europe ungrateful due to the lack of response when the United States or Provincial Union offers support.

Middle East
As Commander-in-Chief, Freeman has stated he wishes no further involvement in the Middle East with the Army and other Ground Forces.

Alliances
Freeman has stated that he believes alliances to be weighed against the Provincial Union.

Cultural and political image

Aggression
Freeman is well known for his aggressiveness in diplomacy, he had never taken any lopsided treaty or agreement, he had also successfully 'scared' the United Nations, NATO, and the European Union into agreeing with his requests. He was also well known for mobilising the Armed Forces to 'convince' foreign authorities to agree with him.

Image
According to NPNM; Freeman walks with intimidation, he automatically inspires fear into those that he challenges as part of his natural demeanor, he was known before attaining Presidency as being the 'biggest man in the room', Freeman was a very unsettling candidate for President, however, attained Presidency by visiting every Province in the Indian Ocean and several small ones throughout the Pacific, both of his election years saw the largest voter turnout from the Indian Ocean, after negotiating several major trade agreements he dispatched major subsidies and profits to the Indian Oceanic Provinces as a 'thank you' for their vote, this action caused major uproar as it was believed he was bribing the Ocean, however in the following three years that belief dissipated as he gathered more trade income for the rest of the Nation and returned thousands of jobs back to the Provincial Union, he stated during his seventh year in office that he was just "bribing everyone to vote for my third term", a major comedic comment which resulted a massive boost of support for him. Freeman is called the Best President of Modern Times surpassing Yadier Fowler on the index by 3 points out of 100 on NPNM's Best Presidents Roster. During his second term, Freeman was much more relaxed in his actions, his actions towards the people throughout his Presidency was always 'warm hearted' as he would be seen frequently touring the Capital and other Provinces, he was always seen smiling and encouraging people to greet him. He was a major supporter of diversity within the Nation as he was quoted saying "I love our people, I couldn't care less about others, but I love our people, they're just the greatest in the world, ever", his pro-Union comments gained him much support within the Nation, he has the highest rating of any modern President on the We Love Our President Index where he scores 478 out of 500, only being surpassed by Elizabeth Maxson, the President of the Union during World War 2.

Foreign perceptions
Foreign nations view Freeman with great hostility due to his aggression towards them and his nationalist views, his interest only being in the Provincial Union has caused many foreign nations to believe he is endangering them by lacking involvement in diplomacy.

Public Appearances
Freeman was well known for his Public Reviews which he conducted in National Square where he'd review and sign upcoming legislation as to not hide anything from the public. A recent appearance made by Freeman occurred in early February of 2021 when he jumped in front of the King's motorcade to get his attention after being repeatedly 'ghosted' and ignored by the King and the High Council in regards to his demands that the Provincial Union allow the Termination of the Treaty of Eternal Tranquility. It is unknown what he discussed with the King after being taken into the primary vehicle with him. The scene is considered the Most Powerful Image of the Decade due to the symbolism of a Commander-in-Chief, one of the highest offices in the Provincial Union, jumping in front of the King's motorcade just to get his attention like a common citizen.

Legacy
In 2018, Freeman stated that if he were President, the United Nations would be a 'crater' in New York and the Middle East 'more of a wasteland than it already is', hinting that he would devastate both for their transgressions against the Provincial Union, he has stated that he wishes to be involved in diplomacy once again, the United Nations has stated that they will further 'punish' the Provincial Union to which he responded; "Just make me President again, I'll teach them how to [EXPLETIVE] off", the United Nations uncannily responded stating "Please do not further your hostility with us, we only want to make peace", a massive change in attitude for the United Nations, which has since been displayed.

Speaking publicly in the Capital


Addendum

“A true hero and saviour of our esteemed and great Nation, Commander Freeman has made it clear that his goal is only the advancement of the Provincial Union and nothing else, no matter how selfless the deed, he has acted in ways which are beyond sacrifice, he has never put this Nation into unnecessary danger and has visited every battlefield and every warzone, he truly only sees the this Nation, he views the Provincial Union as his body, and his Temple, if the Nation is hurt, he is hurt, he never used the words me, myself, nor I unless put into a situation which forced his hand, he has shown great gratitude in everyone that has helped him, I have never seen someone so hurt by harmful deeds of Governors and Government Leaders, he truly feels a failure by his subordinates is a failure by him, he has shown me time and time again that he is willing to die for this country, unfortunately too literally, and he will not stop protecting it until his last breath, he cares greatly for the Nation and has a special soft spot for it, he shields it from the arrows and hostility of the outside world and to this day will stand for it, anyone who insults this country is insulting him, he is a true patriot and is the epitome of the word, he deserves much more than he has received and he deserves more than I could ever give, he has saved millions and will not be forgotten by the Provincial Union for his deeds.”

Notable Awards
Star of Liberty
Official Memorandum for the Awarding of the Star of Liberty to Major David William Horton,
Heard in Parliament, 17 January, 2002

"

On the Eleventh of September, Two-thousand and One, Major David William Horton was serving his normal duties in the United Nations Headquarters Building in New York City. His day started as a normal Tuesday; he came in at 08:00 and worked for around forty five minutes when he states that he heard a loud crash outside, Horton investigated the crash and saw a large plume of smoke in the New York skyline. It was at this point that he saw a second aircraft fly by him and heard a second crash, he then decided that it was within his duty to investigate the crash and rescue any possible survivors. Upon arriving to the towers, Major Horton began assisting American first responders to recover civilians from the rubble and debris of the building and plane on the ground before he decided to go into the building to assist inside.

As debris and wreckage continued to decimate the area around Major Horton, he continued returning inside and carrying individuals to safety until he was barred from reentry into the building by New York Police on the ground.

His torn and burned uniform stands as a symbol to the imperviousness of the Pacifican Spirit and the Spirit of Major David William Horton.

To address the Rescue of Life or Values: Major David William Horton has been recognised, and confirmed, by American First Responders as singlehandedly rescuing or assisting several dozen civilians of the World Trade Center buildings to escape to safety.

To address the Threat to his own Life or Safety: Major David William Horton narrowly evaded death when American First Responders refused to allow him to return into the building only minutes before it collapsed.

To address Service Above and Beyond the Call of Duty: The duty to secure the Life and Liberty of citizens of the Provincial Union does not extend to foreign nationals, therefore the rescue of American Citizens is not within the Call of Duty. In addition, Major Horton was not trained in combat rescue and is not expected to conduct such actions as recovery in the midst of such chaos which resulted in the deaths of nearly three thousand unarmed and innocent civilians. Additionally, Major Horton charged into ground zero with no form of protection to himself aside from his Class B uniform which is designed for an office environment, therefore he was completely exposed to the dangers and threats of area that he was entering and leaving.

To address the Intent of Heroism: Major David William Horton entered the World Trade Center several times without knowing what dangers were ahead of him, he did not know if he was going to leave the building each time that he went in to rescue survivors.

To address the Correct Identification: Major David William Horton was able to be selected from groups of his fellow servicemembers by American First Responders and at least 27 survivors of the event.

The United Provincial Air Force believes Major David William Horton has exemplified what it means to serve in the United Provincial Armed Forces and stands as the epitome of deserving this Nation's highest award.

It is along with the nomination for his reception of the Star of Liberty, our Nation's highest honour, that we requested, and had approved, the pardon of Major Horton abandoning his post within the United Nations Headquarters and disobedience to the orders directed for him to stay indoors. The pardon has been approved and recognised by the United Provincial Air Force and his Military Command Chain.

Signed,
James Atkins
Commander-in-Chief of the
United Provincial Aerial Forces of the
Provincial Union

and

Sponsored,
Colonel Edward Maneli
Commander, UPAF
Prov. Un. Liaison Office
United Nations Building
New York City, NY, USA

"

The nomination was approved by Parliament narrowly with a 252 vote majority, he then received the Star of Liberty from the King of the Provincial Union.

about becoming Chairman

General Information



Toshiharu Shirakawa (白河 利治, Shirakawa Toshiharu born 8 June, 1984) is a Japanese-Pacifican politician who currently serves as the 483rd Chairman of Parliament on 22 January, 2023.

Shirakawa was born on 8 June, 1984 in Ichimara, Yonoda Province. He graduated from the Academy of Yonoda Province (与野田国学院; pronounced Atae Noda Kokugakuin) with a Doctorate in Social Sciences in 2007. He married Yume Matsuoka while still in collegiate level studying. While in university, Shirakawa met and was employed by Member of Parliament Andrea Davis, when Davis retired, she nominated Shirakawa due to his education and values. Shirakawa was sworn in on 22 January, 2008 and was elected to be Chairman of Parliament after long deliberation in late 2022 following the retirement of William Kane.

Shirakawa is the youngest Executive Member of Government, being only 38 at the time of his inauguration, only one year younger than President Crawford at her inauguration. Some have criticised this as "setting a dangerous precedent for our government to inevitably be run by children", many officials, including the King, have criticised this statement.

Early Life



Toshiharu Shirakawa was born on 8 June, 1984 at St. Mary's Christian Hospital in Ichimara, Yonoda, in the West Pacific. He was born to Atsuhiko and Yoshimi Shirakawa, he is of Japanese ancestry and is the first of three children to the couple. He has stated that his family was not originally religious, however after 'miraculous happenings', they began shifting towards Christianity. Shirakawa was educated at a local school in Yonoda and has had a "difficult and divisive" experience in school, referring to the mandated teachings of the province compared to the region.

Education
Shirakawa was educated at Satoki Motsuzuki General School in the Yonoda Province, a massive school covering all grades and curriculum. He has stated that his school was often 'at odds' with the region due to the preferred curriculum of the region being focused on western history while the province prioritised Japanese and Pacifican history. This occurred in much of the West Pacific until the National Government granted near-complete educational autonomy to provinces in 1989 with the Free Education Doctrine.

Personal Life



In 2004, Shirakawa married Yume Matsuoka whom he met in college. The two had their first child, a son, about a year later in 2005 and a second son in 2007. Shirakawa has stated that he and his wife set aside their family for his political career and did not have another child after 2007. Shirakawa has frequently stated that he believes in the Christian value that the body is a temple and reportedly exercises frequently.

Political Career



Shirakawa was selected for Parliament after his predecessor retired and nominated him for "excellency in all fields of politics and society". In Parliament, Shirakawa has prioritised education above all else while also supporting provincial freedoms and autonomy. He has sponsored and written various policies meant to promote the autonomy of the provinces while also recommending legislation to bypass regions entirely. Shirakawa has also sponsored legislation that would promote native cultures in education and government policies.

Shirakawa has stated that he is strongly opposed to communist, totalistic, and socialist economies as he believes them to be "doomed to fail" and has emphasised that governments will 'always be consumed by greed'.

On 14 October, 2022, Shirakawa was nominated for Chairman of Parliament, he refused twice until 21 October when he stated "if it is what you want I will not fight you". He garnered the most votes of any non-consenting nominee since 1944 when Elizabeth Maxson nominated George Wilkinson. On 27 October, Shirakawa again emphasised his desire for another member to be nominated. When he was confirmed on 12 November, Shirakawa immediately offered the Deputy Chairman position to Phillip Morrissette, his runner-up. Morrissette accepted and was confirmed the same day.

Parliamentary Chairman


Confirmation Crisis
On 9 August, Kane announced his retirement by January 2023, his justification was that "it was just time for me to go". He has stated that he will not seek employment after retiring. His retirement has generated a great amount of controversy in the Parliamentary Chamber as both sides of the political spectrum nominate members which the other side refuses to accept. The left-leaning chamber proposed a member considered moderate left while the right-leaning members of the chamber proposed a 'solid-conservative'.

The last vote on 12 November reflected the Judicial, Legislative, and Executive components of the Chamber having a respective favour of; 101, 106, and 57 members in support of Toshiharu Shirakawa, a conservative in favour of social and market conservative policies. While the remaining members support Phillip Morrissette, a moderate but left-leaning member. The decision has become difficult as traditionally left-leaning Japanese members of Parliament favour Shirakawa due to his heritage. The count at the original roll call was; 98, 102, and 56 members in support of Toshiharu Shirakawa on 22 October, 2022 and the second was 99, 100, 54 on 2 November, 2022 following a speech from Mr. Kane in support of Morrissette. A third vote occurred on 8 November, 2022 with results being 99, 101, and 55 members supporting Shirakawa.

On 2 November, Kane voiced his support for Morrissette following an 'in-depth dialogue about the betterment of our society'.

The debate had set Parliament on course for its first crisis since 2003, however crisis was averted when the chambers came to agreement on 12 November for Toshiharu Shirakawa.

Domestic Policy

Economic Policy
Shirakawa has supported the dissolution of National Government support programs and has advocated for the National Government to "take less" from regions and provinces. He has also strongly advocated against policies that are considered even mildly socialist.

Education and health
Shirakawa has pushed strongly for regions and provinces to improve education systems and has advocated for a National standard in education that would require schools to meet a criteria in their curriculum. Shirakawa has pushed for de-nationalising healthcare programs and leaving them to the responsibility of regions, provinces, and preferably private owners.

Social services
Shirakawa has stated he believes the National Government should be completely uninvolved in social services and that governments should only support social services such as police, and fire where they require unbiased response.

Environmental policies
Shirakawa has advocated for there to be a policy where when any organisation destroys an amount of forest, an equivalent amount or more must be replanted. He has also voiced concerns for rising tides and sea levels due to the nature of the vast majority of the Nation being islands.

Energy policies
Shirakawa voiced support for a bill that would subsidise nuclear facilities throughout the Nation and that would support the establishment of methods to share electricity between regions and provinces.

Immigration
Shirakawa has praised the King's decision to allow Japanese to visit Japan for Former Japanese PM Shinzō Abe, however has stated that current immigration policies (No In, No Out) are sufficient as they are.

Foreign Policy

United States
Shirakawa has noted a 'distrust' towards the United States, stating that the country is waiting to betray the Provincial Union and its allies at an opportune moment. He has stated that he does not believe the United States would assist the coalition against Mainland China if a war occurred.

Japan
Being of Japanese ancestry, Shirakawa has voiced his support for Japan and pro-Japan policies including policies that would bring the people of the Provincial Union and Japan closer. When offered to make audience with the Emperor of Japan, he refused and stated his humility would not allow him to be in the Imperial Presence. He wrote a letter, reportedly with many compliments, to the Imperial Palace of Japan to be read by someone on behalf of the Emperor as he felt his words were not sufficient to be read by the Emperor.

He has acted similarly in the presence of the King who he initially refused to meet, again out of humility, however upon learning it was required by law in order to be appointed Chairman of Parliament he agreed but followed Royal Audience Procedure very strictly.

Russia
Shirakawa has stated that Russia has been a valuable ally to the Provincial Union and is necessary to remain an ally as the United States has been "hostile" towards the Provincial Union recently.

China
Shirakawa has stated that the Mainland Chinese Government "needs a revolution".

War on Terror
Shirakawa has voiced his support for the Provincial Union to remain uninvolved in the ongoing War on Terror, stating "they have not invaded us so why would we invade them".

Surveillance
Shirakawa has stated that surveillance protects the citizens and the government.

Cultural and political image

Image
Shirakawa is very popular among Japanese Pacificans due to his heritage, he often speaks in Japanese at major events and has normal discussions with Japanese Members of Parliament.

Foreign perceptions
Being Japanese, Shirakawa is respected by the Japanese people and government, he often humbles himself due to his beliefs that he is not sufficient for the position which leads other nations to praise him for his humility.

Public Appearances
Shirakawa has appeared in public frequently, however never on official terms and usually under humble circumstances which make him difficult to differentiate from an average citizen.

(c. 2021)

General Information



Adam Bernard Garceau (born 17 January 1977) is a French-Pacifican politician who currently serves as the 84th President of the Senate since 22 January 2024.

Garceau was born on 17 January 1977 in the Christendom Province. He graduated from Christendom Provincial University in 2001 with a Masters Degree in Political Science.

Early Life



Adam Bernard Garceau was born on 17 January 1977 at Herbert Johnson Hospital in Princeton, in the Northeast Pacific. He was born to Karl and Linda Wyrick. Wyrick is of Dutch and Pacifican ancestry. He was the middle child of three to the pair, and was also the most "forgotten" due to his siblings both being born a year before and a year after his. In 1974 Wyrick enrolled in a local elementary school and was one of the 'most successful' students in his grade each year. He continued that status through intermediate, junior high, and high schooling. When applying for collegiate schooling, Wyrick was denied to his application to the National College, something he said "shattered" his hopes and dreams. Wyrick throughout his life was well known to locals as he would often spend little time in his home and rather travel through the suburban area of the city in which he lived. Many local vendors and store owners would recognise him and often offer free foods which he stated 'tempted' him to return time and time again. Wyrick remained in the same city throughout his life and still does hold residence in the same city. Wyrick's family often moved to nearby larger houses. Wyrick also stated that he truly recognised the meaning of time after watching all of his friends grow older as he did. Throughout his early life, Wyrick made himself known primarily to adults and rarely would interact with peers his age, something his teachers frequently commented about on regards to his sociability.

Wyrick also witnessed the vendors, and adult friends he made while growing up, grow older and retire or pass on, something he claimed revealed him to the tragedy that is time. Wyrick began collegiate schooling in 1986 after he was denied to the National College which he had strived to attain entry to, although entry is exclusive to only 40 students per year. While in college, he was also working for a Law Firm in his area, where he found his wife, Fiona Maxson, who was an intern at the time, and the two married in 1991.

Education
Wyrick was considered an excellent and sometimes 'perfect' student during his schooling, even doing so well that he achieved the title of Valedictorian in high school and later in college. Wyrick had strived to be accepted into the National College so he could attain a Degree of Expertise in Law, however, he was denied on the last day of acceptance by the College. He had stated he wished to be an Expert at Law, so he could be a Nationally Ranked Attorney, one of the Nation's highest honours.

Personal Life



In 1991, Wyrick married Fiona Maxson, who he'd met while working at a local law office, she is a great-niece of the former sister-Presidents Elizabeth Maxson and Lillian Beaufort (née Maxson). He reportedly met Lillian Beaufort multiple times between 1990 and 1995. He and his wife had their son in 1992, and their two daughters in the two years following. Wyrick had decided to attempt for the National College once more in 1999, however was denied once again, and much quicker than the first time he applied, although he was the Salutatorian for his class. For that reason, in 2002, Wyrick left his job at the Harrington's Law Firm and ran for a seat as a local Senatorial Chair. After his failed attempts for the National College, Wyrick had become very well known throughout his province due to there not being anyone from Cebrine since 1957 to have even been considered for the National College, a title which has now been surpassed thrice, with one citizen accepted.

Political Career



In 2002, Wyrick ran for an office as a Senatorial Representative for his province. Wyrick had been very successful immediately without a need to run again. Wyrick was widely known throughout the Province due to his status of 'having been considered' for the National College, a title still very prestigious.

Speaking to the Government of Armenia
(c. 2022)



Announcing National support for Armenia
(c. 2022)



Announcing the soon reopening of the country
(c. 2021)

General Information



Rita Kecci Delano (born 12 December 1976) is an Italian-Pacifican politician who currently serves as the 28th Secretary of the Sovereign State since 22 January 2014.

Delano was born on 12 December 1976 in Krenzville, Moscradi. She graduated from Marcus Howsitz University in the North Atlantic Ocean in 1995 with a Masters in Political Sciences.

Early Life



Rita Kecci Delano was born on 12 December 1976 at Springfield Medical Centre in Krenzville, a city in the Moscradi Province. She was born to Marco and Ronni Delano, she was the oldest of three children to the pair. Delano, through schooling, was reportedly 'too patriotic' as her teachers claimed, this attributed to her later feel of superiority of citizens of the Provincial Union. Although she lived in the Moscradi Province, a province in the Atlantic near Europe, she was still extremely proud of the Provincial Union and when the Atlantic Oceanic States began expressing contempt towards the National Government, she was a strong advocate in her school, with teachers, to keep the Provincial Union together because "if we separate, nothing will stop the bloodthirsty from invading us" a hint she was making that Europe and America would invade and sever the Atlantic Oceanic States. The Moscradi Province was always a heavily patriotic province and had never wished to separate from the Provincial Union, so her advocating was made much easier. When the Atlantic Oceanic Government declared to secede from the Provincial Union, the Moscradi Province attempting to stay, however was too close to Europe to be protected and the Council was overwhelmed and forced into the Atlantic Oceanic States and a draft was immediately instituted. Delano had managed to avoid the draft through visits to the Capital of the Provincial Union to renew a technical citizenship with the Provincial Union, this action angered many Regional Officials in the Atlantic Oceanic States, however no action could be made as the Moscradi Province would protect her through law enforcement.

Education
Delano attended local schools however finished collegiate education in Marcus Howsitz University in the North Atlantic Ocean. Delano achieved a masters degree in Political Sciences and prior to that, through her primary education she achieved major accreditation and also achieved commendation from the National Academic Honours Association.

Personal Life



Throughout her childhood, Delano has known her husband since both of their youth and through elementary school. The two married late in their collegiate career and prior to the marriage, Delano had made the decision she'd keep her name in order to promote relationships with relatives and others in Europe. Due to this, her children also share hers and Karnacht's names. Delano had strongly advocated against the Atlantic Independence Movements through her adulthood and even would speak at the Atlantic Oceanic Capital, where she gained National acclaim and recognition. In 2003, Delano was nominated for a Peaceful Pacificans Award to which she was postponed until 2008 when she was awarded it following her assignment as a State Ambassador to Italy. Although Delano was born and raised in a province near Europe and Africa, she supported the belief that the Provincial Union was superior in every way to the rest of the world, she later stated that her early ideals of 'perfection' were Italian and United Provincial, but later expanded that belief. In 2004 Delano applied for a position in the National Department of the Sovereign State where she was accepted as a Diplomat to Italy and in 2006 was nominated and elected for a position as a State Ambassador to the Republic of Italy.

Delano had gained a lot of attention from her peers and others due to her strong beliefs about the Provincial Union. Peers reportedly often criticised her for constantly referring to the Americas, Africa, and South Asia as lesser to the Provincial Union. Delano also was widely acknowledged by peers due to her consistent statement that the Provincial Union should have closed immigration and no one, not even tourists, should be allowed through the borders. In 2014 when National Political News and Media did a report on the immigration problem in Sweden and Europe, Delano, who was Secretary of the Sovereign State at the time, was one of the top advocators against open immigration policies and stated she believed the immigration system to be like dye in water and used the analogy: "if you let on drop of dye into a glass of water, it taints the entire glass", a comment of hers which gained criticism by the International Community.

Political Career



Immediately after graduation from her university, she immediately applied for multiple positions in the Department of the Sovereign State, she attained a major diplomatic office near the Mediterranean Sea. She originally worked as a major advocate for Far-Western Europe. She later worked to develop relations between the Provincial Union and Mediterranean nations, however she struggled with communicating to the North African Nations. Italy had strongly supported her ways as she would often speak in their favour and even called Italy the "superior nation" of Europe, a claim which was strongly retaliated by the United Kingdom and Germany. Upon her visits to Italy, Delano was often welcomed with open arms and celebrations for her arrival as she had made many large advancements for diplomacy and relationship improvements with Italy, something often overlooked by her insults to other nations and cultures.

Delano was a well-known diplomat in Italy and later when she became a State Ambassador to Italy, she was immediately embraced by the Italian Government and offered residence within the nation's capital, Rome, to which she accepted. Through her tenure in Italy, she was visited frequently by gift-bearers who wished to award her for her service to Italy, however many visitors from foreign nations would come to criticise her or leave mud at her door step to inconvenience her, that was until the Italian Government declared it illegal to deface her residence, although it was already so. Upon her departure from Italy, Delano was celebrated by the Italian Government and was gifted many wreaths and baskets. Prior to her departure in 2014, Delano was awarded the Italian Award for Civil Valor, an award stated to be "unconventional" for her deeds, but the most fitting for her kindness.

Secretary of State


Domestic Policy

Economic Policy
Throughout her tenure as Secretary of the Sovereign State, Delano has frequently denied speaking of Treasury affairs because she believes herself to be 'undereducated' on the subject.

Education and health

Social services
Delano has stated that she values the volunteers working for the Emergency Services to be heroes and the complete reason for the peace and tranquility at home.

Environmental policies
Delano has made many statements in support of the EPO in which she has stated it as a necessity to maintain our economic and environmental perfection.

Energy policies
Delano has stated that no energy crisis exists and that the Provincial Union has been brought down due to immigration and foreign influence.

Delano holds a very stern and independent stance on immigration as she has stated that Europe has been decimated by immigration from Northern Africa and the Middle East. She has made the statement on multiple occasions that immigrants from nations of the former Ottoman Empire should be denied while other nations should be given admission.

Foreign Policy

North America
Delano has been notably compliant and supportive on relations with the nations of North America, she has greatly improved relations with the United States, and has promoted relations with the United Mexican States and Canada.

South America
Throughout South America, Delano is not greatly supported, however her cooperation with foreign policies of Brazil and Argentina has led to her forging particular alliances with those nations politically.

Caribbean
Delano has only referred to the Caribbean as a 'hotspot for vacationers and tourism' and seems to greatly support its potential for great usage, however doesn't see it fit for invitation to the Provincial Union.

Europe
European nations, with the exceptions of France and Italy, often view her in contempt due to her anti-immigration policies, and lash out insults at her policies regarding refugees, Delano has returned criticism by stating that Europe is so [Muslim] riddled that "it is a wonder that it hasn't exploded all at once yet", an extremely hostile remark that was met with great opposition from the European nations. Italy and France both support her as a position in political office, however France has stated that her position may not 'suit' her.

North Europe
Northern European nations greatly oppose the position of Delano and often call her racist, to which she responded; "I love all people of all races, I oppose when people of another culture invade cultures and try to forcefully morph or persecute the originals", Sweden responded stating that she was implying Middle-Easterners, to which she stated that she never 'named names'.

Caucasus
In the Caucasus Delano has received great praise from Armenia for her policies opposing Turkey and Azerbaijan, the latter nations have criticised her for her comments on their nations and their people. In 2020, Delano was the first to call for an ultimatum against Azerbaijani aggression, she was quickly met with international criticism.

In 2022, Delano spoke at a press conference stating that war with Azerbaijan is "considered certain and inevitable" following recent attacks in the region. Delano has stated that she voiced to the High Council for the immediate involvement of the Provincial Union in the reigniting Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict. The King was the only one to respond publicly in support of her suggestion. Delano has added that the borders will be "totally opened" when war comes to "accommodate" the Armed Forces. Delano was the first non-Royal National Government official to leave the country on a diplomatic mission. She flew to Armenia on 31 October, 2022 in order to advocate support for Armenia and to coordinate terms of defence with the Armenian government.

On 1 October 2023, Delano swore "vengeance for the people of Nagorno-Karabakh". She also requested that the Embassy officials from Azerbaijan be expelled from the Provincial Union, saying "they're not welcome here". Delano also accused Azerbaijan of preparing to genocide Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh, comparing the recent forced-disarming of Armenians in Azerbaijan as "clear as day proof of malicious intent". She also stated that any genocide will be met with "retaliatory genocide", multiple countries have condemned this statement.

East Asia
Delano has received great praise from Asian nations as she has once been caught saying that "Asians are naturally smart and hard working people", something that many European nations said was racist, to which she replied; "You dismissed me as a racist so now everything I say is racist", a comment inciting backlash from Europe, but great compliments from Asian nations who sometimes refer to her as the Lady of a Steel Will.

Southeast Asia
Southeastern Asia has no real opinion on Delano as she has made many compliments to China and Indochina which has caused many to praise her in return.

Middle East
Delano has stated that the Middle East is a "lost cause" and has no concern for healing it, with the exception of India where she believes 'potential still thrives'.

Africa
African nations often criticise Delano for her policies of 'abandonment' for Muslim and Saharan nations and her focus to Sub-Saharan nations.

Sub-Saharan Africa
Delano is greatly received in Sub-Saharan Africa due to her comments, which are deemed racist in Europe, regarding the cultures of nations needing to be 'appreciated' and not attacked.

Oceania
The nations of Oceania have often criticised Delano for her decisions and policies regarding foreign nations, except for the Philippines where she has once vowed support to protect them from any enemy.

War on Terror
Delano has stated she is in full support for denying refuge and admission from the nations who are formerly of the Ottoman Empire, she has stated in 2015 that the "Muslim race is fully to blame for these attacks" resulting in major uproar from the Islamic community, and resulting in major response from the international community.

Surveillance
Delano has stated that in order to notice potential threats, surveillance must be used in order to determine who is a threat. She has also stated that Provincial Union thrives on the basis of having an extensive surveillance network handled by caring professionals.

Cultural and political image

Image
Delano has gained a lot of negative attention from her motion against Islam resulting in major response from the international community, namely those of Arabic and Ottoman descent. Delano has also gained attention from many foreign representatives with accusations that foreign representatives from the Provincial Union are generally selected for their attractiveness, this being due to her opinions on other religions, and this accusation has been disproven many times.

Foreign perceptions
While Delano has some hostility from the Muslim community, she is also Italian and a very devout Roman Catholic prompting the Catholic community to protect and support her through her statements and decisions.

Public Appearances
Delano has been making a lot of public appearances since her appointment in 2014 giving a lot of people much access to her opinions and statements.

General Information



Paul Michael Williams (born March 7, 1963) is a European-Pacifican politician who currently serves as the 58th Secretary-General of the Armed Forces since January 22nd, 2016. The position of Secretary-General is considered the second highest civilian rank of the United Provincial Armed Forces, being just below the President and the Commander-in-Chiefs.

Williams was born on March 7, 1963 in Ferryville, Christ Town Province. He graduated from the Christ Town Provincial University in 1986 with a Master's Degree in Political Sciences. Williams immediately began a career in politics by working for his local Foreign Affairs office.

Early Life



Paul Michael Williams was born on March 7, 1963 at Castel Private Hospital in Ferryville, Christ Town Province, in the North Atlantic. Williams was born to Frank and Charlotte Williams. Williams is of Euro-Pacifican ancestry.

Education
Williams was raised in his province in the same neighbourhood and rarely moved even within the same neighbourhood or province. Williams was educated at a close-to-home university in his home province.

Personal Life



Following college, Williams immediately commissioned in the United Provincial Army, he achieved the rank of Colonel before separating. Williams separated in order to accomplish a lifelong dream of pursuing international politics and making peace around the globe.

Political Career



Following his retirement from service to the United Provincial Army, Williams decided to dedicate his life as a diplomat for the Provincial Union Department of the Sovereign State

Secretary-General of the United Provincial Armed Forces



Domestic Policy

Economic Policy
Williams's economic policy is very vague as he often changes it depending on who he is speaking to, and often times with reporters he will say that since he has "little influence" on the economic policies of the National Government, he doesn't much care about the economic policies in place.

Education and health
Williams has stated that he generally does not concern himself with affairs outside of his realm of expertise, which is diplomacy with the intention of seeking peace.

Social services
Williams has not given his stance on social services, and has avoided the topic swiftly.

Environmental policies
Williams has stated that he has a fervid belief that the environment should be protected by the people that rely on it, and has stated that had he been a department chair he would've preferred one of environmental concerns.

Energy policies
Williams has said that he believes energy and environment should go hand-in-hand and should work together to accomplish a common goal of prosperity.

Immigration
Williams has been known to negotiate for other nations to take refugees rather than sending them to the Provincial Union, he has accomplished many tasks under this category.

Foreign Policy

War on Terror
Williams has had much difficulty in settling down the War on Terror and has found it exceedingly difficult to find peace in the Middle East.

Europe
Williams is often welcomed in many areas including France where he is praised for his peacekeeping actions. However in Germany he has been criticised for trying to falsely promise peace, something he has defended himself on, the United Kingdom also criticised him for his involvement in affairs of nations he 'shouldn't help', CiC Robert Freeman swiftly threatened both Germany and the United Kingdom to 'keep threats to themselves' or face retaliation from the 'peaceful' Armed Forces.

Armenia
Williams is admired by the Armenian government for his actions to keep peace in the Caucasus region, delegates have been reported as marking on their schedule many months in advance to clear several days prior to meeting him in case an error happens.

United States
Williams is greatly welcomed in the United States where he has met federal officials on many occasions.

Russia
Russia accepts Williams as being a very generous and caring gentleman and has stated they appreciate his actions. Upon the creation of the Arzni Joint Base in Armenia, Williams negotiated the leasing of six Su-34 aircraft, five MiG-29 aircraft, and four Su-35 aircraft.

In November 2022, Williams negotiated a contract with the Russian Federation to lease the construction of Su-57 aircraft in the Provincial Union for the Arzni Joint Base in Armenia. The agreement states that the aircraft will be produced in the Provincial Union and transferred for usage to the Arzni Joint Base and upon termination of United Provincial Air Force presence in Armenia, they shall be transferred to the Russian Air Force. The agreement has generated severe hostility from NATO states who oppose the agreement for supporting the Russian Armed Forces.

Italy
Williams negotiated the terms for the Delano Joint Base in Grazzanise and negotiated the leasing of twenty Eurofighter Typhoons for the base.

Japan
Williams is often seen getting along very well with Japanese delegates and leadership, he has stated that Japan frequently offers him visitation and hospitality at any time he desires.

Koreas
Both Koreas welcome Williams with elation and invite him frequently to visit their nations, sometimes even to get the 'upper hand' on the other.

Iran
Williams states he is very hopeful for the future relationship of the Provincial Union and the Islamic Republic of Iran.

India
India often has celebrations for Williams's arrivals and invites him frequently to visit their nation as he has often helped cause reparations.

Syrian Civil War
Williams was a major factor in keeping the Provincial Union out of the war in Syria while also informing parties that the Provincial Union was 'joining the war', a lie that may have saved millions of lives.

Turkey
Turkish delegation often welcomes Williams and he has stated that they fear the Provincial Union 'in a way that a nation never should', he believes that the Provincial Union should make reparations with Turkey and Azerbaijan.

Cultural and political image

Image
Williams is a very 'jolly' and kind person, he is often welcomed in many places for his generosity and genuine care for the work that he does. He has also stated that he is very 'incapable' of defending against hostile people as he was not raised in hostility, this has resulted in him being protected by many high ranking officials within the National Government, and even overseas.

Foreign perceptions
Williams is welcomed by many nations as his intentions are to ask "what can we do to make peace?", a question that rarely pops up by the 'stronger side'.

Public Appearances
Williams does not often make public visits as he does not 'appreciate the attention', and when he does he receives frequent praise and compliments.

Understanding Legislation



How it is all put together

Positions in National Legislation

Total of 158 Provinces

Parliamentary Seats
500 Chairs
200 Judicial Chairs
200 Civilian Representatives
100 Executive Chairs
Parliament is National Level legislation working for the well-being of the Nation

Parliamentary seats are nominated through the King and confirmed by the Supreme Court.
The most common method:
Parliamentary seats can also be nominated by an incumbent for their own successor, as long as the King and the Supreme Court do not oppose, if either do then the authority falls back on the King.



Congressional Seats
Congressional Chambers are local level working for the good of the Provinces.

House of Representatives
3,500 Representatives

Senate

Seats
320 Senators

2 Representatives from each Province, 2 from the Capital in the Pacific, 2 from the Largest City in the Atlantic

Both Senate and the House of Representatives are considered Provincial level officials

Positions in the National Judiciary Chamber

Parliament falls under the National Level

The National Legislative Assembly is an Assembly comprised of all members of Congress and Parliament and is where they propose new ideas for legislation, a Bill does not need to go through here to be passed into Law.


For most Bills to pass they require a majority, the following shows what the minimum majority numbers are for each chamber;
Provincial: 80
House: 1,751
Senate: 161
Parliament: 251
High Council: 5

Any tie will be decided by the Senior Member of each respective Chamber;
Provincial: Vice President of the Provincial Union
House: Chairman of the House
Senate: President of the Senate
Parliament: Chairman of Parliament

Doctrines require a two-thirds majority to pass as they are Constitutional changes while the High Council must unanimously agree.

The following are the minimum numbers to achieve a two-thirds vote in Congress and Parliament;
Provincial: 105
House: 2,334
Senate: 214
Parliament: 334
High Council: Unanimous

Additionally, voters may choose to vote Present or be Absent to the vote altogether, in both cases the majority shall be adjusted to fit the new number of voters.

A prominent example of this happening is with the High Council Restructure Doctrine which is the first bill in years to have House members refusing to vote on it and choosing instead to be counted as Present

Most laws require only a majority to pass, however major bills such as ‘rights changes’ or diplomatic changes, e.g. Declarations of War or Treaties, require over 2/3 from all chambers to pass. All Doctrines require 2/3 majority.

If a vote fails, it can be proposed again during the next Congressional Session; the next year. Additional votes will be stacked on the dispatch as the newest on top of the older votes.

Theft
Servicemembers shall not steal.

Theft from the Service
The theft of any property belonging to the service is strictly forbidden and the offending servicemember will be tried appropriately with consideration of the value of items stolen. The offending servicemember may be expected to reimburse the service for damages. The offending servicemember may also be tried with Espionage if the items stolen had the potential to be used against the Nation in any way.

Theft of Personal Property
Stealing of any person's property is strictly forbidden and the offending servicemember will be tried appropriately with consideration of the value of items stolen. The offending servicemember may be expected to reimburse the individual for damages.

Rape
Rape is strictly forbidden within the United Provincial Armed Forces, any servicemember found guilty of rape will face extreme punishment. If a servicemember is accused of rape, they are to be immediately placed under arrest and held in a military police holding facility until the investigation concludes, this period can exceed 120 days if necessary for the investigation, but shall not exceed 365 days without approval from a Military Judge.

Human Trafficking


Espionage and Desertion

Justification and Important Information
In order to protect the Nation and its People, there are guidelines in place to protect information from being shared or leaked.

*Espionage is always declared Treason and offenders, if found guilty, will always be sentenced to death unless they utilise a whistleblower defence.

Espionage
The intentional release of classified/sensitive information so that adversaries may utilise it in efforts against the Provincial Union or its People. The highest level of infraction that can be committed in the service.

Accidental Spillage
If a servicemember is authorised to handle classified/sensitive information and fails to handle such information appropriately, resulting in the information being reveal to adversaries.

A Military Court of Law will determine if the Spillage was intentional or accidental, if accidental then the servicemember will not be tried for Treason.

Desertion
Desertion is classified as unauthorised abandonment of one's post. Desertion may result in additionally charges, including a possible charge for Espionage or Treason depending on what information the offender had access to.

Away Without Leave
Failure to Return
If an individual is authorised to be out of the local area for any circumstance, such as authorised Leave, and fails to return within the allotted timeframe. Administrative Punishment will be imposed. Non-Judicial Punishment can be imposed for repeat offenders, Judicial Punishment cannot be opposed for Failure to Return alone.

Unauthorised Departure
If a servicemember is beyond the authorised travel area for their unit during their off-time without approval from their Chain of Command. Administrative Punishment will be imposed at a minimum. In order to be authorised for Judicial Punishment, the charge would need to be escalated to Desertion, escalation requires application by the offender's unit commander and approval from a Military Judge.

Not to be confused with Desertion

Whistleblowing
Every Installation shall have a designated Whistleblower office which shall provide confidential assistance to servicemembers who may take interest in whistleblowing due to a religious or ethical dilemma. Whistleblower offices shall have authority, under Congress and Parliament, to halt the operations of a unit in order to identify and/or correct concerns of a servicemember. If the Whistleblower office determines that a servicemember's concerns are unfounded then the servicemember shall be advised on the available options and the associated consequences.

Servicemembers cannot be punished for seeking assistance from a Whistleblower office. Whistleblower offices must provide legal support for a servicemember if they decide to whistleblow anyway due to concerns not being corrected, if the office provides insufficient defence then the servicemember may opt for an alternative office to represent them. Refusing to utilise a Whistleblower office will result in the member declining the option to a whistleblower defence and shall result in the offending member being charged with espionage and Treason. Utilisation of a whistleblower defence is the only option to avoid Capital Punishment for espionage.


Penal Code


The following are the processes for the United Provincial Armed Forces to discipline servicemembers in violation of the CoLC.

Also known as the Code of Legal Discipline (CoLD) by some.


Administrative Punishment

Punishments imposed by the servicemember's direct leadership. Failure to comply or improve following Administrative Punishments may lead to escalation to Non-Judicial Punishments.

Official Letter of Discipline
A formal statement of wrongdoing as committed by a servicemember. Submitted by the supervisor of the servicemember.

Informal Counseling
Positive Counseling
An informal statement of praise and appraisal for actions committed by a servicemember, anyone that outranks the servicemember is authorised to submit a Record of Appraisal. Can be escalated to higher awards/decorations.

Negative Counseling
An informal statement of wrongdoing as committed by a servicemember, a supervising member submits a Record of Counseling to note that the offending servicemember has been counseled for the violation. First level of punishment for low level violations of CoLC. Cannot be escalated or used as justification for further punishment alone.


Non-Judicial Punishment

Punishments imposed by the servicemember's commander or legal equivalent. Failure to comply or improve following Non-Judicial Punishments may lead to escalation to a Judicial Punishment.

Financial Obligations
Deduction of Pay
The Service may reduce the pay of the servicemember if it is being used to compensate for damages or financial impact caused by the servicemember.

Servicemembers may opt to pay the entire amount in a single payment rather than have pay deducted.

Fines
Fines may be imposed on any servicemember that commits a minor infraction against the CoLC or Laws of the Locality.

Fines greater than half a servicemember's monthly pay shall be paid through a Deduction of Pay.


Judicial Punishment

Final method of discipline, imposed by a Military Court of Law with direct consent and concurrence with a servicemember's commander or legal equivalent. Failure to comply or improve following Judicial Punishment shall lead to escalation in punishment.

Charges are submitted under the authority of the Attorney General of the Armed Forces or the specific Service of the offender.

Discharge
There are multiple ways that a discharge may be characterised.

Discharged with High Honour
Extremely unlikely in cases of Judicial Discharge. Discharge with High Honour is for personnel who are discharged due to being unable to continue service because of a condition caused in service to the Nation. Also referred to as an Honourable Discharge with Distinction colloquially.

An example case in which a servicemember was Discharged with High Honour through Judicial Discharge was when Flight Sergeant Matthew Haden attempted to continue service despite being in an aircraft accident (on-duty) which rendered him near-completely immobile. Despite his best efforts to recover, F/Sgt Haden was unable to adapt to his new condition and was forcibly discharged by the Service as he was unable to perform his normal duties. He was Discharged with High Honour and awarded the Air Force Service Medal.

Honourable Discharge
Uncommon in cases of Judicial Discharge. Honourable Discharge applies to a member who has served faithfully and honourably to the Nation and deserves appropriate recognition for doing so.

A servicemember may receive this if discharged with no disciplinary history and the unit commander deems it appropriate.

General Discharge
Common in cases with no prior disciplinary history. General Discharge applies to a member who has served in the United Provincial Armed Forces with at least some degree of faith and honour.

Dishonourable Discharge
Common in cases of frequent legal infractions or with felony cases. Dishonourable Discharge applies to a member who has acted in such a way that the United Provincial Armed Forces is ashamed of their service.

Imprisonment
Servicemembers facing possible Imprisonment shall be tried within 90 days of indictment.

A servicemember found guilty will be immediately discharged dishonourably and will serve a defined sentence as determined by a Military Court of Law.

Corporal Punishment
Not in use. Still legally authorised, requires extreme disobedience where correction is expected to require a form of physical punishment.

Servicemembers under Corporal Punishment are expected to return to duty and perform.

Banishment
Reserved for Treason or Desertion. Requires trial by a National Court with concurrence from the servicemember's command.

Servicemembers facing Banishment shall not be delayed a trial for more than 90 days. They will be discharged the day following the trial if a guilty verdict is reached. Following discharge, the former member will be transported to the embassy or territory of a willing country and released into the custody of the aforesaid country.

Capital Punishment
Reserved for Treason, Rape, or Murder. Requires trial by a National Court with concurrence from the servicemember's originating locality judicial system. If the originating locality refuses to concur, then the service member will be returned to the locality to face punishment there. If the locality refuses to punish the servicemember then the servicemember shall be banished or restricted to the locality, this will be determined at the discretion of the National Departmental Ministry of Justice.

Servicemembers facing Capital Punishment shall be discharged immediately and sentenced to no more than 6 months imprisonment. Following no more than 6 months, the servicemember shall face Capital Punishment as enshrined by law.

Undisclosed Punishment
Reserved for cases of extreme felonious activities, such as rape of a minor combined with murder. Servicemember is tried privately and is immediately transported for an undisclosed punishment. The United Provincial Armed Forces authorises experimentation for servicemembers facing undisclosed punishment.

Undisclosed Punishment may only be imposed if significant evidence beyond any possible doubt is presented prior to the trial securing the servicemember is entirely at fault. Cases where a servicemember presents possible mental illness cannot utilise Undisclosed Punishment unless already beyond the extreme.


Pre-Punishment

Investigation
Servicemembers are protected from self-incrimination in accordance with the Declaration of Human Rights and Principles, however must surrender any and all property for investigation when requested by proper authority.

Detention
Servicemembers may be detained for up to 30 days if suspected of committing a felony or other similar serious crime.

Arrest
Servicemembers may only be arrested if an arrest warrant is provided by a Military Judge.

Temporary Confinement
Servicemembers may not be confined for an excess of 120 days without trial.


Rights in Legal Proceedings

Right to Counsel
Servicemembers have the right to an attorney to provide counsel. If the servicemember cannot afford an attorney, one shall be provided for them.

Servicemembers have the right to consult the Soldier/Sailor/Airman Defence Counsel or Judge Advocate General official regarding legal proceedings. Servicemembers can consult these services at any time for any reason concerning Military or Civilian Law.

Right Against Self Incrimination
Servicemembers cannot be forced, through threat of harm, further legal action, or similar threats, to admit guilt.

Right to Informed Search and Seizure
If involuntary search and seizure is to occur, the servicemember is to be informed with the hour that it is to occur. The servicemember may be detained to prevent attempts to conceal or destroy evidence.

Right to a Trial by a Jury of Peers
Servicemembers have the right to a trial with a jury of peers. Peers being defined as fellow servicemembers in similar career fields, but not directly involved or associated with the defending servicemembers.

THE PROVINCIAL UNION OF THE PACIFIC AND ATLANTIC OCEANS
The Department of the Sovereign State
Joint with the Department of Defence
Joint with the Department of Offence
Treaty Establishing Security in East Asia and the Western Pacific

Treaty of East Asian Security
Signed in the Capital of the Provincial Union, 15 July 2023

[PREAMBLE]
In response to the recent actions of the Mainland Chinese Government, the Provincial Union has sought to protect states in Asia from the growing threat posed by the Mainland Chinese Government.

[DECLARATION]
The Provincial Union has sought to achieve peace in Asia through separate, individual agreements with nations neighbouring Mainland China, and while this effort has been so-far successful, the Provincial Union seeks to formally unite the nations involved in the agreements into a coalition of force and defence against the growing threat posed by the People's Republic of China. Therefore, the signatories of this Treaty will officially be inducted into a Coalition of Force and Defence against the People's Republic of China.

The National Government of the Provincial Union understands the dangers of identifying a specific nation when establishing treaties for defence, however the National Government also feels it is necessary that the threat which serves as justification be outright stated in the founding document for the Coalition being established.

The focus of this Treaty and Coalition will be on protecting neighbours of the People's Republic of China, therefore any attack that occurs against member states by any nation that isn't involved with the People's Republic of China will not warrant the direct involvement of every signatory.

[COLLECTIVE DEFENCE]
When an attack occurs against any signatory of this Treaty, it becomes the duty of every signatory to assist in the defence of the attacked nation. In any case of war against any signatory of this Treaty by the People's Republic of China or any nation acting in favour of the People's Republic of China, every signatory nation shall declare a State of War against the attacking nation and in defence of the attacked signatory.

Actions taken in hostility against any signatory shall be treated as hostile actions against every signatory, therefore every signatory has the authority to respond appropriately to the aforesaid hostile actions.

[CONCLUSIVE STATEMENT]
The purpose of this Treaty is to discourage acts of hostility against signatories and to promote peace in Asia and the Pacific.

[RATIFICATION]
LET IT BE MADE THAT A COALITION OF FORCE AND DEFENCE IS ESTABLISHED IN PURSUIT OF PEACE AND TRANQUILITY IN ASIA AND THE PACIFIC

PEACE TREATY IN EFFECT

THE PROVINCIAL UNION OF THE PACIFIC, ATLANTIC, AND INDIAN OCEANS
Reserve Ministry of War
Joint with the Department of the Sovereign State
Joint with the Department of Defense
Declaration that a State of War is Present between the Provincial Union and the Republic of Azerbaijan

Declaration of a State of War Against the Republic of Azerbaijan
Passed by Congress 7 Oct, 2020 and by Parliament 8 Oct, 2020

[Article I]
In fullest respect to international legislation and its work to bring a ceasefire, no such peace can be accomplished within reasonable time that can be effective in ending this conflict permanently. The original termination of this conflict following the original War over the region has proven itself unsuccessful, being mostly the fault of the United Nations for refusing the acknowledgement of the region of being rightfully Armenian through Conquest of War.

[Article II]
We hold ourselves to have the most noble Casus Belli with the justification that it is in direct defense of Armenian held territory after the reigniting of this conflict by the Azerbaijan Government. Throughout history, the annexation of territory through conflict has been considered acceptable, however only when directly beneficial to the leading powers of the world has it been enforced. The Provincial Union has guaranteed the territorial integrity of the Republic of Armenia and has created many beneficial terms with the region. An attack on Armenia is an attack on the alliance it has with the Provincial Union.

[Article III]
Following the passage of this Declaration of War, the National Government will immediately begin the process to determine a Minister of War and establish in full the Ministry of War. The duties and responsibilities will resume as War Ministers have always held and the Ministry of War will resume its full jurisdiction over warfare involvement of the Provincial Union, just as it has through all history.

[Article IV]
This Declaration of War is to be enforced fully by the National Government of the Provincial Union and respected accordingly by neutral, allied, and hostile states.

Clause A
All matters henceforth will be handled by appropriate sections of the National Government, including the now Active Ministry of War.

Clause B
May it be understood that the Provincial Union only acts in response to the violation of the Ultimatum by the Azerbaijani government through continued aggression and complete disregard to requests of neutral states for peace.

Clause C
All respect is to be made to the Peace Treaty that has been signed by the Armenian and Azerbaijan Governments, no further hostilities will be made.
Added 10 November, 2020

Clause D
Effective from the signing of the Treaty, the Peacekeeping Corps, of the United Provincial Armed Forces, shall have full presence in the area of Nagorno-Karabakh and nearby areas to ensure the safety and security of the region.
Added 10 November, 2020

Clause E
Peacekeepers in the region shall enforce that no international law be broken and no act of aggression be made, no Crimes Against Humanity will be tolerated.
Added 10 November, 2020

May God Save Us All

[PREAMBLE]
The Provincial Union has acted unrighteously and has now decided to accept its people's humble terms of peace. War will be avoided at all costs as has always been.

[DECLARATION]
On the day of signature of this Proclamation, peace no longer yields itself inevitable, but actual.

Of recent history the Provincial Union has been acting in a manner which creates risk for itself and its people, for this reason the Provincial Union has hereby determined that it shall remain uninvolved in all conflicts internationally unless they otherwise affect the Provincial Union or its predetermined allies.

This Treaty only acts as one to cease hostilities with nations of the Middle East until provoked.

The Provincial Union also asks that the Islamic Republic of Iran reenter an alliance for continuing peace in the Middle East.

[CONCLUSIVE STATEMENT]
The Provincial Union hereby accepts all peace in the Middle East permanently, and will not reenter any course of war.

[RATIFICATION]

Foreign Affairs Office


International Commendations and Condemnation Committee
Enacted 1 January 2018 at 00:00

Condemnation of the United Nations for Violating the Rights of Sovereign States
Condemnation for Violation of Rights of Nations

[Article I]
For the consistent disobedience of requests made by the Provincial Union to respect the individuality of member states to the United Nations along with the gross disrespect to the greatest allies to the Provincial Union, the United States of America, on the basis of the race and gender of the President. With the notice of condemnation affecting the United Nations as a whole rather than all states individually, some nations do require individual reprimands for actions to enforce the United Nations' corruption. Along with these violations of national rights, the violations of various of other national and individual citizen rights. For the Violations of these Rights there can be expected a large and substantial impact on the international community, also recognizing that there is no limit to the punishment to which will be acted by the Provincial Union. In continuation, the Provincial Union will take any and all necessary actions to enforce the Treaty of Eternal Tranquility held by the United States and Provincial Union. Through the recognition of this policy, it shall be understood also that the United Nations holds no influence on the Provincial Union and holds no authority over military might and action. Continuing that the United States is also in Support of the Provincial Union along with the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China. The most recent violation conducted by the United Nations is the action to blatantly go against the President of the United States by disrespecting the Independent Republic of Israel through the misstatement against the Capital.
[Article II]
The Violation named as the primary factor for the proposal of this bill is the actions by the United Nations to go against the United States and President Trump of the United States due to international opinion being against American Favor. A second violation cited by the Department of State of the Provincial Union is the actions by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland along with the Federal Republic of Germany to insult and condemn the President of the United States for making statements which were in no way against any Nation. Regardless of the impact of these statements, the United Nations still continued to condemn the United States for actions and opinions which did not negatively influence any member nation of the United Nations, nor did it affect any independent territory. A very recent insult conducted by another member state was the German insult to the United States by making the statement that it no longer recognizes it as a superpower, however when the United States makes a statement that it recognizes the Israeli capital to be Jerusalem the nation retaliates in full verbal force.
[Article III]
For violations of the following rights, the later punishments can be expected. The United Nations has on multiple occasions violated the rights of member states to conduct themselves freely including their freedom to opinions and expressions, by condemning the United States for an opinion which did not instigate any warfare nor hostilities. The United Nations has also violated the rights of nations to freely govern, as the United Nations has threatened the Democratic People's Republic of Korea for testing and famine on its people, while pugnacious nuclear testing can be seen as a reason to penalize, the second reasoning of famine is an incorrect reasoning. The Democratic People's Republic of Korea does not have the economic capabilities to maintain its national health and security, however it is also advised against using the totality of governmental income on military advancements, the nation is an independent state and reserves the right to be treated as such. The Provincial Union will also be seeing the United Nations as a war effort focused on boosting the Military Industrial Complex as it has become apparent it is the primary motive of the United Nations.
[Article IV]
The following penal actions can be expected on the United Nations for violations of the rights of nations and the aforesaid infringements. The United Nations can expect permanent withdrawal of the Provincial Union from the United Nations and will not return unless major revisions and corrections are made to it. The United Nations will also be seen as no longer allied forces but rather neutral or hostile, depending on the circumstance. The United Nations will also be open to facing further reprimands depending on later actions. For the enforcement of the aforesaid punishments, the Provincial Union will ally with the United States and other nations who stand with the nation.

This Document hereby extends the rights listed to The Alliance of Elites
Proposed by the Provincial Union on 19 July, 1776 and passed by The United States Continental Government on 23 July, 1776
Most recent affirmation of this document was set on the date of 6 July, 2021

[Article I]
Both governments of The United States of America and Provincial Union are herein authorized to be under permanent alliance, or for the length of this document's standing, of shared military force and political power. Through the enactment of this treaty, the Provincial Union and the United States of America will also be unable to file declarations of war to either nation nor any nation later defined as a major ally without proper withdrawal, dissolution, or amendment of this document. This treaty does not define military limits to any nation involved with it, and will not force maximums nor minimums without proper approval of either side. In cases of war between allies of either sovereign state, both nations will be forced to armistice to avoid war between signatories. War is defined as the hostile military movements between nations as approved by the proper legislation or executive class. Through this treaty, combat will also be intolerable between the United States of America and the Provincial Union, violation will prompt full forfeiture of this treaty and repercussive actions by enforcing nations and organisations, for failure to enforce, the Provincial Union or United States of America will hold determination for due punishment in response to the violation.

[Article II]
By enforcing this document both governments understand and affirm their alliance to be strictly non-hostile unless against a perpetrating nation who wishes to damage or otherwise destroy either nation's government. Either nation also affirms their protective custody over either nation and their obligation to defend the reverse nation when approved by governmental authority. Enforcement of this document will be retained by the United States of America and the Provincial Union and any later mentioned parties will be approved for enforcement authority when necessary, however will not be considered primary enforcers, nor will be obligated for national interactions or altercations. Major national combat incidents will be prompted by the reverse nation with full assistance when necessary and compliant with later verses of this treaty, the failure to protect and defend either nation will be met in consequence. For decisions on alliance between nations, either nation will be obligated to join in alliance with the other. For cases of total war between neighbouring nations, the United States of America and the Provincial Union will be obligated to work for tranquility between either hostile force, and if either is in aggression to the primary nations involved in this treaty, peace efforts are to be enforced by the reverse nation or other signatories.

[Article III]
Upon invasion of one nation the other shall thus bring involved its own armed forces to assist the allied forces against the invader or perpetrating nation. Protection of either nation will be obligated in full force by either nation regardless of the circumstances involved of either. In cases of total war involved between a signatory or primary and another independent state,
the signatory will be defended and protect by enforces of this treaty and will be required security and border enhancement by the closest neighbouring signatory. Primary national defences will always take priority of the defences of the other nation regardless of the imminent destruction threat that may be present. Self-Defence of the participating nation will be the priority for the nation and will not be violated or forced otherwise by this treaty

[Article IV]
This alliance is strictly between the nations of the United States of America and the Provincial Union unless accepted through Clause B. Later involved nations of this treaty will not be enforced in full by priority members, the United States of America and the Provincial Union, who hold all primary acceptance authority along with total governance and likewise authority. Violations of any section of this treaty will be handled by all members involved and co-signatories wishing to make stake. The two primary nations involved will not be later obligated to defense of signatories if either chooses not to, this will be for the reason, not of greed, but rather to defend the home and prevent war.

[Article V]
Unless joined together by conflict on an allied side, nations shall not be supported by this document. In all cases concerning war, the Provincial Union and the United States of America will be the primary advocates of combat involvement through this treaty, either side not wishing to be involved in lower conflict may choose to withdraw from involvement at any time prior. Any time in which the primary are involved in subsidiary combat and wish to withdraw, they may do so. Declination will also be allowed for cases in which the primary do not wish to sacrifice for subsidiaries.

[Article VI]
No foreign nation has the right to attempt to destroy this document or the nations upholding it. In formation, this document will only be disposable by the two nations involved, no later signatories will be authorised to privately, nor through vote, amend this treaty in any way, especially if such way is in violation or contradiction with former articles and regulations. The United States of America and the Provincial Union will be the only two nations authorised to amend this document and hold full authority over it. Subsidiaries in desire of amendation may request upon the aforesaid primaries for approval. This approval may be confirmed or denied through mutual agreement of both primary nations, neither nation has full authority over the other as both are fully equal.

[Article VII]
Any attempts by the allied nations to remove this document will be met with consequences unless approved by all nations involved. Signatories, while not obligated to enforce this treaty and requests of it, unless stated otherwise, will not have authority to dissipate this document of record without approval of either primary nation involved. Signatories may also, consensually, enforce this treaty when under threat of international, forced, removal. In cases of war between signatories, the primary nations will remove both involved parties and any additions to said parties, and disallow re-signing until later approval of both primaries.

[Article VIII]
Both national governments of the United States of America and The Provincial Union are authorized to enforce this document through any means necessary and will do so until the termination of this treaty. Third party organisations and likewise will be allowed to enforce this treaty if desired.

[Article IX]
Citizens of the Provincial Union and the United States of America shall retain a privilege to travel between both Nations at free will.

[Article X]
A reaffirmation of the Treaty will be required whenever a new President is elected in the United States or there is a new King of the Provincial Union.

National Ensign Amendment Doctrine

Doctrine Amending the National Colors and How they are Presented
Passed in Congress 03/04/17 and Parliament 03/04/17

[Article I]
It is effective immediately that all National Ensigns are to be updated to fit the call at which this Doctrine is to amend them to represent the New National Colors. It will not become immediate the incrimination of persons' Usage of the Incorrect Colors. Government Facilities will have to April 2nd, to Amend the Colors flying over local Territory otherwise face consequences for disrespect to the National Ensign. Failure to amend personal flying of colors over local Property will constitute misuse or mishandling of the National Colors which will authorize the seizure of said Incorrect Colors. The New Flag will be respected and maintained to the same respected conditions required by its Predecessor, unless otherwise noted in this Doctrine.
[Article II]
Affirming the reasoning behind the adjustment of the National Colors to be understood as a misuse of Language on the Colors as they have been previously amended from: Provincialem Unionem, Gens et Liberos to the Current National Standard: The United Provinces of Pacific, adopted from the National Terminology for the United States of America. However the usage of the Nation's Callsign was amended to reflect a more accurate description of the Union of Provinces. The Change was created to abolish confusion among citizens of the traits which differentiate that of the Provincial Union to that of the United States.
[Article III]
The Change proposed to be made to the National Colors is for it to fit the Standard as requested by General Phillipp Fruehauf of the United Provincial Army, and endorsed by Secretary Bill Tonolus of the Department of Defense. The Proposal will be for the National Ensign to lose all locations on it which represent lettering including that which represents the National Callsign Emeritus, as it is no longer in Official Use.
[Article IV]
It is the duty of all Provincial Legislatures to enforce this law as seen fit, the National Legislature will enforce this Law only over the subordinates to National Legislation.

Clause A
The Previous National Colors will be acknowledged fully as being true and fit for the stage of National Honors.

Passed by Congress 23 June, 2021 and Parliament 24 June, 2021

[Article I]
Due to the overcomplications of international law and the recent difficulty in negotiating terms of return for citizens of the Provincial Union, the National Government is herein to make statement that no citizens of the Provincial Union are to be taken from home or state based on the needs or wants of an international or otherwise foreign entity unless through the proper negotiation with the National Government. Anyone protected by this document will have a temporary impunity to any and all laws broken by the individual in any foreign country until authorities in the Provincial Union can negotiate terms with the Nation of Offence.

[Article II]
From the passage of this Act, there will no longer be extradition of citizens of the Provincial Union to foreign nations unless through the proper efforts of the Nation of Offence and the Provincial Union. Furthermore, individuals, even those having committed the most heinous of transgressions, cannot be extradited for offences committed over ten years prior to the date of their detention. If the offence is considered to have punishment necessary, then the Provincial Union will organise immediate prosecution for the offender, the individual will receive all rights of a normal individual accused in the Provincial Union.

[Article III]
The Provincial Union, and any respective province involved, will treat any offender of said international crime as having committed an equivalent crime of their home area.

[Article IV]
Individuals who are detained in a foreign environment must be returned to the Provincial Union as soon as the offence has been reported.

This Article makes no action to reaffirm, amend, nor establish any reformation to the Regional Level of Taxation.
[Article V]
This Article makes no action to reaffirm, amend, nor establish any reformation to the National Level of Taxation.

Thanks for clicking me! What comes next is going to upset someone, that is an unfortunate certainty, please do not take offence to what is written below as it is meant to be as neutral to the subject as possible

Editor's note: This is an expanded/revised form of the original Ordinance from 2016, the reason the original has not been edited is to maintain the integrity of its pre-pandemic consistency as it was not a form of political protest then and is not a form of political protest now. It was written following a volunteer event with a community that helps autistic and special needs individuals, and much of what the community provided in terms of proof appeared legitimate.
Vaccines are greatly beneficial, however the mandatory nature of any medicine/operation/procedure can be detrimental to patients with anomalous health characteristics or who cannot handle forced medical procedures mentally.
Thank you.

[Article VI]
It is the duty and obligation for all National, regional, and provinces governments to enforce this law using all means necessary and available to them.

[Article I]
Effective immediately, the distribution and utilisation of the online social media application described will be disallowed in all provinces of the Provincial Union.

[Article II]
The application proposed to be banned from public and private usage is TikTok as owned by ByteDance, a Chinese company who has been proven as utilising the app for immoral purposes.

[Article III]
The National Government's justification for this ban is stated as being to minimise the privacy violations by the parent company and country of the application. Secondarily, the utilisation of the app to target youth for dangerous, illicit, and sometimes sexual or vulgar purposes is considerably disallowed already by the National Government and many Provincial governments.

[Article IV]
With due respect to the legislature of the provinces which have already banned the usage of the application and those which have not, this law supersedes all relevant laws which came before it and conflict with it.

[Article V]
It is the duty and obligation for all National, regional, and provinces governments to enforce this law using all means necessary and available to them.

Clause A
Punishments for violations of this law will be considered on a per-province basis with each province entrusted with whatever punishment is seen necessary, no matter how minimal.

Clause B
Punishments shall not be unconstitutional nor shall they be inhumane, the National Government will have final determination to what is deemed cruel, unusual, or extreme for circumstance.

Clause C
Noting a similar ban or major restriction on this application already being in place for 113 of the 158 provinces of the Provincial Union, specific exceptions may be appealed to the National Government with evidence of no foul play being in place for the area of concern.

Repeal Resolution of Defensive Terms over North and South America

Resolution to Repeal Defensive Terms of the Provincial Union over North and South America
Passed by Congress 6 April, 2021 and Parliament 8 April, 2021

[Article I]
Upon passage of this resolution; the commitment of the Provincial Union to protect all states of North and South America shall be herein terminated and no further obligation will be held. The Provincial Union will no longer be obligated to protect American states from invasion or similar military efforts by foreign powers, nor as defined in the original doctrine; European and other Colonising Empires. If under any circumstance that an American Nation is invaded by a foreign power, whether it be from the same continent or from another and the Nation requires assistance; the Provincial Union no longer will support the Nation outside of normal diplomatic tendencies unaffected by the original legislation to Protect American Nations.

[Article II]
The reason for the proposal of this resolution has come as the United States has further alienated itself from the Provincial Union. The secondary cause of this resolution is the realisation that in the modern world, North and South America are no longer at such an overwhelming threat by foreign powers outside of their own continent and hemisphere, therefore the Provincial Union should not hold itself liable to defend states under its unnecessary protection.

[Article III]
Nations considered historical or current defensive allies of the Provincial Union shall remain under the protection of the Provincial Union unless defined below with specific terms. Nations that do not have a treaty separate to the original document of legislation to Protect American Nations will have the Defensive Alliance terminated immediately upon the passage of this Resolution. Caribbean Nations and Island Nations technically covered by the document will remain under the Protection of the Provincial Union as cited by the Guarantee over Island Nations within the Realm.

[Article IV]
This Resolution requires no enforcement as it is an instance of repealing another piece of Legislation.

Clause A
The following Nations will have Defensive Alliances terminated immediately: Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, and Venezuela.

National Law on the Internet Bill of Rights

National Bill of Rights for the Internet and all Online Resources
Passed by Congress 17 June, 2020 and Parliament 18 June, 2020

[Article I]
The Rights of the People of the Provincial Union are reserved in online life and activities as it is in the physical world. Every action made by an individual online is considered protected by these rights, international dealings must adhere to these laws, regulations, and must respect the rights listed here. We, the National Government of the Provincial Union believe it necessary to enforce the rights in every available domain possible. It is becoming increasingly dangerous in the online world for individuals who utilise it solely for their income and occupation. Privacy restrictions online have been missed as many people have seen an increase in fraudulent activity online. The rights listed henceforth are to be respected by corporations dealing with the citizens of the Provincial Union, this will be enforced by all legal means and abilities.

[Article II]
The purpose of this Document is to secure the rights of the people of the Provincial Union, online, as their rights have been trespassed until now. In recent Congressional hearings it was noted that companies and their representatives took no mind to the privacy of citizens of the Provincial Union, one company, that shall not be named, went so far as to sell private information to companies not legally acknowledged yet by their own government. This activity has cost the information of millions around the world and within the borders of the Provincial Union. The objective of this Document is to prevent these actions from being made.

[Article III]
Usage or sale of corporate or local information to a foreign based company to subsidised company in an attempt to prevent adherence to these laws shall be seen as evading National Law and treated as such. Unauthorised and outgoing traffic containing the confidential or otherwise private information of citizens of the Provincial Union is restricted by this document to protect their financial and personal rights.

[Article IV]
Failure to adhere to the rights and laws listed in this document shall be considered felonious by the agency and treated as intent to abridge the rights of the Citizens of the Provincial Union, proper punishment will be filed.

[Article V]
We do so believe that the rights of the person, as are the rights of the people, extend past the fingertips of an individual and into their online life and into online society, laws and rights shall pertain not only to the individual, but to society and the people as a whole.

[Article VI]
The rights of the People of the Provincial Union shall be maintained and enforced even when travelling abroad to nations not in direct association with the Provincial Union, proper enforcement of this right will be made upon violation.

[Article VII]
Due to the vastness of online society, enforcement will not be entirely possible for authorities of the Provincial Union, and so it is authorised for the people of the Provincial Union and the individual citizen that if a company requires the violation of these rights that they be immediately reported or the point of contact terminated.

[Article VIII]
Let each clause stand as an amendment or adjustment to the incorrections or corrections of this Act. The Right of Congress to alter or change these rights as is seen necessary for continued public benefit is reserved.

[Article IX]
It is the duty of all branches of government to respect and enforce this act by all means legal and capable.

Clause A
The outgoing transfer of Private or Personally Identifiable Information pertaining to an individual subject to laws and rights of the Provincial Union and citizens, must be notified to the individual, and must have their approval with fully informed consent. This right shall not be infringed upon by any international agency or corporation or person.

Clause B
This clause ensures the right of the Individual to know what exactly their personal information and any other submitted information is being used for.

Clause C
It is the duty of any and all company or corporation owned and operated online societies to be protected and secured to the best of their ability to prevent any personal information databases to be protected from the breach or compromise that can be done by online predators.

Statements and Addresses



Published by the Reserve Ministry of War

This document is being published due to the many complaints of the public to the failure of full involvement in the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict.

When the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict began, the Provincial Union was put in a very difficult position as the borders of the Nation were closed and all armed forces were on a stop-movement order internationally. Due to the complications of transporting personnel and equipment, the Provincial Union was unable to fully reinforce its ally; Armenia. The base began with enough personnel and equipment to solo-defend against a full invasion from a large military force, estimations targeted the Turkish Armed Forces. However the amount of equipment and personnel available was limited to only be able to defend against an invasion of a Turkish-sized force for only 4 weeks, until the National Government could mobilise personnel and equipment to reinforce and allies could be called. However due to the current COVID-19 pandemic there were severe difficulties in reinforcing the allied facilities and the Armenian refusal of Russian assistance further caused issues in defending the territory.

Furthermore, the United Provincial Armed Forces were given the orders to keep personnel inside of armoured vehicles and aircraft to minimise losses. Due to the lack of confrontation by allied forces, the number of personnel from the United Provincial Armed Forces lost in the conflict kept to only 4 following the initial attack. Within days of the initial involvement of the Provincial Union all enemy forces were forced out of the Nagorno-Karabakh region and forces began pushing into Azeri territory. Orders were approved to keep allied forces in the Nagorno-Karabakh region to enforce sovereignty of the local government.

As munitions were being used quickly and Azeri forces gaining personnel and equipment from other nations; Israel and Turkey, allied forces were no longer able to maintain a distant front and had to retreat back into allied bases. The amount of equipment available to personnel at this point in time was scarce and only 5% of the original amount. No information about how the stock has changed can be published at this time. The Provincial Union began petitioning the Government of the Russian Federation to loan materiel for the conflict which would be returned with interest by the Provincial Union after the end of the conflict and likely after the resolution of the pandemic. Before this could be done, however, the involved nations signed a treaty to end the conflict as a loss for Armenia.

The Provincial Union refused to Sue for Peace and stated it would continue fighting until after the pandemic even if it would require destroying the region. Russia, France, Turkey, and the United States emphasised that the Provincial Union should not waste efforts to continue the War and the Provincial Union accepted White Peace terms.

If this conflict had occurred at any other point in time, the resolution would have been quick and decisive, however planning by the enemy led to the conditions at hand.

This war was classified as defensive and the Provincial Union will reflect this in any international courts.

"We would like to reinforce the notion that if we went to War with a major nation that we would be fully involved, the threat of War with China earlier this year had the National Government preparing to open the borders to storm the coasts of the Chinese Mainland and reinforce allies in Japan and India despite the ongoing pandemic" - Lieutenant General Marcus Hadfield, Reserve Ministry of War

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing!

The Newborn King has come and He comes with Rightful Reign of His Kingdom and all of Mankind. Blessings wished to all of the people of the Provincial Union as we enter this joyous day to celebrate the Birth of Our King and Christ; Jesus of Nazareth, so many years ago. He came to this Earth with intent to express to us His forgiveness of our sins and we hold grateful for it every day of the year, but today is the most joyous as we celebrate His first arrival to our Earth.

Our Father above sent down His only begotten Son to us this day to remind us of His love and affection for us. This sacrifice shall not be forgotten in this Nation for it was this sacrifice which propelled the future of this Country to advance greatly into what it is today, a Nation based on the love and faith of God; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. It is this belief that has led us to many victories for the Lord has protected us and I believe He will continue to do so.

Christmas is not the only time to celebrate the Arrival of Christ to our Earth and most certainly not the only time to Love our God as our Heavenly Father above. This year has stood tough and many have doubts and their faith falters as they fall into increasingly difficult times. We are praying greatly for those who have been impacted by the ongoing pandemic beyond our borders and we hope that in due time it dissipates and all people can be well once more. This Christmas we celebrate the oncoming of many new opportunities to advance and move forward as a society under God. I believe with our faith we too can assist our neighbours to recover sooner from this international ailment.

Despite a rather negative year, let us remember again to celebrate this time of year as being a time of recognition for the Birth and Nativity of Jesus of Nazareth, Our Christ and Messiah. And let this celebration bring joy to the lives of our people and those across the world enduring hardships in this unfortunate pandemic.

May we Pray United for a quick and expedient resolution.

THE PROVINCIAL UNION OF THE PACIFIC, ATLANTIC, AND INDIAN OCEANS
The Department of the Treasury
Joint with the Department of the Interior
Interpersonal Sales Tax Act

Act Abolishing the Application of Taxation to Interpersonal Exchanges
Proposed by Congress 31 August, 2022 and Parliament 1 September, 2022

[Article I]
Upon passage of this document, all taxation issued on transactions between two private entities, with no requirement for shipping or delivery utilising a public service, shall be invalid.

[Article II]
The primary focus of this law is to protect the individual from unnecessary taxation with no benefit to the public or person. If a sale or transaction between two individuals requires no publicly funded resources, there is no purpose to a tax being applied. In-person exchanges of goods and/or services will be completely exempt from taxation assuming the exchange is legal and did not utilise public funding to accomplish.

[Article III]
Purchases occurring online will remain taxable due to the nature of travel required and the requirement of shipping resources to the Province or independent location. Any purchases requiring the use of a publicly funded entity will be taxable due to the use of taxed resources. A seller or buyer who utilises publicly funded means of transportation or delivery in order to circumvent taxation will not be exempt, and reimbursement through a form of taxation shall occur to the government of which the resource utilisation originates.

[Article IV]
Interprovincial, interregional, and international tariffs are not affected by this legislation.

[Article V]
It is the duty and obligation for all National, regional, and provinces governments to enforce this law using all means necessary and available to them.

Petitions



PETITION TO THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT REGARDING THE SUZERAINTY OF HONG KONG
17 November, 2020

[Proposal]
The requested effects of this petition are that the National Government pressure the Chinese Mainland Government to restore either full independent sovereignty of Hong Kong or hand over the island province to the Provincial Union preferably without conflict.

If the area is to be turned over to the Provincial Union then it shall be recognised as an equal province to the rest of the Nation with the same securities as other provinces.

If the first option of acquisition by the Provincial Union is considered unacceptable by the Chinese Mainland Government then the option of restoration of the full rights and privileges originally guaranteed to the area of Hong Kong shall be reinsured and enforced by the Provincial Union. Alternatively the area can be handed over to the former sovereign empire of the United Kingdom, or to the United States, or if all other options are not available; it can be granted independence as an independent state with the same rights and privileges of a regular Nation with the guarantee of sovereignty and independence by the Provincial Union.

[Enforcement]
If the Chinese Mainland Government refuses to comply with the request then the request shall be enforced as a demand and the Provincial Union will begin efforts to take the region by force. The National Government can choose to amend this section as seen appropriate.

[Justification]
The recent transgressions of the Chinese Mainland Government against the Provincial Union and the Region of Hong Kong are considered unjustifiable and terrible and corrections must be made to these actions.

[Signed with Majority]
This petition is currently holding majority in 79 Provinces and seeks to gain 0 more when it reaches the Legislation of their Province. The week numbers represent each week on Wednesday.
*These numbers are expected to change as the Provinces vote.

Official National Announcement

Past Reasons
In the past for this Nation there has been much bloodshed just trying to get out of the beginning of the century and even more just trying to pass through the millennium.
The Provincial Union is not to be considered a hostile or war country but within that it must be understood that the Nation and its people are not afraid to exercise its strength in order to secure domestic peace.
Terrorism
Terrorism as it is defined is the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.

Any use of terrorism in the nation of the Provincial Union is not tolerated at any standards and if it occurs within the nations borders it will be treated as extreme domestic violence and the perpetrators will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Domestic and Foreign Terrorism to the Provincial Union are two completely different things and as domestic terrorism will be treated to extreme measures, foreign terrorism, unless requested by the nation's government and approved by legislature, will be ignored and, likewise, tolerated.
Protests
The freedom of protest and public expression for beliefs is accepted under the doctrines passed of course the Nation will still block protests form occurring in certain areas especially in areas like, but not limited to: National Square; the Grand Palace; Government buildings; or any other places listed as forbidden by law.

"Rest in Peace and Carry On"
