Since the constitutional reform in 2046, Ascion has maintained a strong policy of armed neutrality; it has not fought an international war and its army is mostly tasked for defense in multiple regions. Nevertheless, it pursues an active foreign policy and is frequently involved in peace-building processes around the world.

The eight regions and the District of Maui occupy a combined area of 110,835,599 square miles (287,062,884 km2). Of this area, 12,285,844 square miles (31,820,191 km2) is the total land area, of which comprised 11.8% of the Commonwealth's whole territory, while the remaining 90% is the total water area. Measured by only land area, the Commonwealth [[File:Pacific_Ring_of_Fire.svg|thumb|right|upright|300px|Much of Ascion's territory is above the {{wp|Ring of Fire}} with the exception of Australia]]is second in size behind Amenria, however, the Commonwealth is the world's largest nation by total area (land and water), with Amenria and Africa not too far behind. The ranking varies depending on how two territories disputed by Amenria and Africa is counted, and how the total size of the Commonwealth is measured.
Extending across the north, south, west and east on the eastern part of the globe, Ascion encompasses a great diversity of landscapes and climates on a limited area of 110,835,599 square miles (287,062,884 km2). The population is about 680 million, resulting in an average population density of around 163 people per square kilometre (378/sq mi). The island chain part of the country in the south is far more sparsely populated than the northern part of the country. In the largest region of Oceania, lying entirely in the continent of Australia and its surrounding islands, population density falls to 27 /km2 (70 /sq mi).


Ascion is the largest country in the world; it is a transcontinental and transoceanic country spanning much of the Pacific Ocean, and territories spanning from the two Americas, Oceania, and Asia. American Ascion is roughly 10,318,306 km2, which is around 4% of the total landmass of America, making Ascion the third largest country in the Americas; Oceanic Ascion is roughly at the same size of the pacific ocean itself, making Ascion ranked first in coastline size, as well as the largest country in the world.

Ascion (/ɑːsɪɒn/), officially the Asia Pacific Union, commonly known as The Union is a country primarily located in the Pacific Ocean, consisting of 7 regions, spanning from the continent of Asia, Oceania, Zealandia to the Ammericas. At 287 million square kilometre (110 million square kilometers), it is the world's second- or third largest country by total area. With a population of almost 1.12 trillion people, it is the second most populous country in the world. The national capital is Gerha, and the most populous city is Los Angeles.

The Union emerged from the established Pacific states of Amenria. Disputes over the sociopolitical matters with Amenria led to the 2043 Metahuman War which resulted in Ascion declaring independence in June 17, 2043. Being one of the foremost racially and ethnically assorted countries within the world, Ascion is frequently called a melting pot of societies and ethnicities. Its populace has been significantly formed by centuries of migration and unification, which would later led to a constitution reform in 2046, only three years after its independence to give further autonomies to the regions by transforming the country into a confederation-type close to that of the ancient country of Switzerland. The reform made the Union as the most decentralized country in the world, compared to the neighbouring states of Amenria and Arab League. Since the constitutional reform in 2046, Ascion has maintained a strong policy of armed neutrality; it has not fought an international war and its army is mostly tasked for defense in multiple regions. Nevertheless, it pursues an active foreign policy and is frequently involved in peace-building processes around the world.

A highly developed country, the Commonwealth accounts for approximately a quarter of global gross domestic product (GDP) and is the world's largest economy by nominal GDP. By value, the Commonwealth is the world's largest importer and the second-largest exporter of goods. It is a high-income social market economy that places emphasis on automobile and technology manufacturing, with a burgeoning service sector and mining industry. The Union also holds the highest Human Development Index rating in the world, and performs favourably in a number of national performance listings including health, education, quality of life, economic freedom and the protection of human rights and liberties.

Etymology

Ascion is derived from the name "Asia Pacific Union", an EU-like concept previously proposed by Kars Belzagar/Primus in 2040. The name itself represents the vast ocean it lies on, and the extremely diverse culture among its regions. The word "Union" was originally used to describe a collection of regions—e.g., "the Union is." It was later became popular after 2046, and is now interchangeably used with the word "Ascion". A citizen of the Union is an "Ascionese". "Unionist" and "Ascionese" refer to the country adjectivally ("Ascionese value", "Unionist forces"). In English, the word "Ascionese" rarely refers to topics or subjects not directly connected with the Union.

History

Geography

Extending across the north, south, west and east on the eastern part of the globe, Ascion encompasses a great diversity of landscapes and climates on a limited area of 110,835,599 square miles (287,062,884 km2). The population is about 680 million, resulting in an average population density of around 163 people per square kilometre (378/sq mi). The island chain part of the country in the south is far more sparsely populated than the northern part of the country. In the largest region of Oceania, lying entirely in the continent of Australia and its surrounding islands, population density falls to 27 /km2 (70 /sq mi).

Ascion lies between latitudes 68° W and 117° E, and longitudes 71° N and 54° S, making it the largest country in the world,; a transcontinental and transoceanic country spanning much of the Pacific Ocean, and territories spanning from the two Americas, Oceania, and Asia. American Ascion is roughly 10,318,306 km2, which is around 4% of the total landmass of America, making Ascion the third largest country in the Americas; Oceanic Ascion is roughly at the same size of the pacific ocean itself, making Ascion ranked first in coastline size, as well as the largest country in the world. It is larger, by size, than any continents except Eurasia.

The Commonwealth has been susceptible to earthquakes long before independence, as most of its territories lie above the Ring of Fire, a horseshoe-shaped belt about 40,000 km (25,000 mi) long and up to about 500 km (310 mi) wide around much of the rim of the Pacific Ocean where many volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur. Earthquakes happen very often, mainly in the Inner Region, the Outer Region, and the state of Alaska in the Western Reaches.

Climate

Snow in Kamchatka Peninsula, Inner Region, Ascion

The enormous size of Ascion and the close proximity of many areas from the sea result in the dominance of the oceanic climate, which is prevalent in all parts of the country except for the tundra and the extreme southwest. Most of the territories located in the Northern hemisphere have either humid oceanic climate or subarctic climate, with

The dry and hot Atacama Desert, Southern Region, Ascion

extremely severe winters in the northern areas of Inner Region (Chukotka and Magadan) and the Western Reaches (Alaska and Yukon) where the lowest temperature can reach −63.0 °C (−81.4 °F), and more moderate winters elsewhere. Both the strip of land along the shore of the Arctic Ocean and the small Ascionese Arctic islands also have the same climate.

The Southern territories, most notably Oceania, possess either tropical rainforest climate, or oceanic climate. In many states of Zealandia and Australia, summer is hot and dry while in other parts of the country such as the Philippines and Polynesian island chains experience more precipitation where summer is hot and wet. The South American part of the territory however, possess either tropical rainforest climate, or desert climate. This is mainly due to the extensive lush Amazon forest in the northern part of the area, and the exsitence of Atacama desert near the coast, spanning from the north to the south close to Antarctica.
