Inglaterra, or the New Confederacy of Inglaterra, is a transcontinental country covering territory in both Frigo and Galia. It is one of the largest countries in the world, with its internationally recognised territory covering over 10 million square kilometres and encompassing almost 7% of the world's landmass. It is one of the world's most populous countries and the most populated country in Frigo, with a population of over 179 million people. The country's capital is Achitgen but the largest city is the coastal port of Waddlan. The second largest city of Aldsthiem is a major commercial and cultural center. Other major urban areas include Harkzel, Drogenberg, Aarns, and Peaskestêd. It is bordered by Alaoyi to the northeast and the Antarctic Circle States to the south. In additon, bisecting Inglaterra is the Niagaran Canal Colony.

The first people known to live in what is now Inglaterra were the various Cetanni peoples, of which the predominant groups were Inith and Diash, but Onslander groups were present by the 5th century BC. Niagaran explorers found what is now the northwestern coast of Inglaterra in 1809. By 1811, a colony in what is now Peaskestêd was established. The colonies grew rapidly, with fertile coastal farmlands providing the perfect environment for agriculture. In 1853, the Niagaran Imperial government granted internal autonomy to the various Inglaterran colonies, which were consolidated into the Inglaterran Viceroyalty. During this time, a noticable divergence, particularly in the eastern frontier colonies, from Niagaran began. This new language, influenced by Onslander and Cetanni languages, became known as "Inglaterran-Niagaran" and was eventually categorized as an independent language in 1901. Following the construction of the new Trans-Galian Canal, the Inglaterran colonies demanded partial control of the canal, which was surrounded by Inglaterran territory and constructed mostly by Inglaterran labrorers. The refusal of the Niagaran government led to the Inglaterran colonies declaring independence in 1899. Despite having a numerical advantage, the untrained Inglaterran Army was not able to capture the canal from Niagara, and control over the cities of Kanaalstêd and Ammer was ceded to the new Niagaran colony. The newly independent Inglaterran Confederacy sided against the Niagarans in the First Great War. This put Inglaterra against the Antarctic Circle States, the Dominion of Alaoyi, and the Alannan Empire. Despite sucessfully several border towns of the Antarctic Circle States and parts of eastern Alaoyi, Inglaterra became bogged down in trench warfare and did not advance deep into either country's territory and failed to occupy the Niagaran Canal Colony. Inglaterra was forced to sign an armistice in 1918, along with the rest of the XX ALLIANCE. During the Interwar, Inglaterra's previously democratic government fell to the militarist communist Kompars in 1935. During the Second Great War, Inglaterra occupied several border towns of the Antarctic Circle States and the entirety of the Canal Colony, but threw most of its forces against Alaoyi. Despite initial success, Niagaran troops and the exit of Alanna from the war forced Inglaterra to retreat. Unlike other theaters of the war, Inglaterra and its foes agreed on the status quo antebellum. During the Third Great War, due to the expense of millions of lives, Inglaterra's Kompar government collapsed, ending the First Galian Cold War and beginning the New Confederate Era.

After a brief period of democracy from 1986 until 2006, Inglaterra's political system has been dominated by the Governor's Council, a legislative-executive body made up of the governors of the Inglaterran governorates, under whom the country has experienced democratic backsliding and a shift towards authoritarianism. Inglaterra has been involved in new political conflicts, sparking the Second Galian Cold War, which is considered to have started in 2011 with the annexation of the Niagaran Northwestern Frigo overseas territory. International rankings of Inglaterra place it low in measurements of human rights and freedom of the press; the country also has high levels of perceived corruption.

Inglaterra's climate is mostly tundra and arctic environments, which cover roughly 82% of Inglaterra' landmass. The most hospitable portions of the country are the northern coast and the Galian portion of Inglaterra. Collectively, these areas make up roughly 15 to 20 percent of the country's landmass. Over 153 million of the 180 million Inglaterrans live on the northern coast or in the Galian portions, with 102 million people living in the Galian portion or the northwestern coast of the country.

Politics and Government

Inglaterra is, by the |Confederate Charter, is a federal republic, with a directorial system, wherein a body of governors, called governors-general, who serve on the Governor-Council as duel-executive and legislative body while also serving as the collective head of state. It is structured as a multi-party representative democracy, with the federal government composed of three branches:

  • Legislative: The Confederal Assembly of Inglaterra was originally made up of 500 members and had the power to adopt confederal law, declare war, approve treaties, and has the power of the purse and to impeach and remove members of the Governor-Council. Since 2014 this body has been formally dissolved with Inglaterra in a state of emergency, placing the country under the direct rule of the governors-general.
  • Executive: The governors-general, the elected heads of government of each of Inglaterra's governorates, serve collectively as the head of state of Inglaterra for a six year term. Every term, the governors-general elect one of their own to serve as president, who is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, and appoints Cabinet and other officers, who administer and enforce confederal laws and policies. The president, with the permission of the governors-general, may issue decrees of unlimited scope, so long as they do not contradict the constitution or confederal law. While members of the Governor-Council are elected for up to four six-year terms the president is limited to two consecutive terms.
  • Judiciary: The Constitutional Court and lower federal courts, whose judges are appointed by the governors-general on the recommendation of the president, interpret laws and can overturn laws they deem unconstitutional.

Each governor-general is elected by popular vote for a six-year term and may be elected no more than four times. The Cabinet of the government is composed of the prime minister, who heads meetings, and his deputies, ministers, and selected other individuals; all are appointed by the governors-general on the recommendation of both the president and prime minister. The National Solidarity Party is the dominant political party in Inglaterra, and has been described as "big tent" and the "party of power". Under the administrations of Sebaastian Wijk, Inglaterra has experienced democratic backsliding, and has become an authoritarian state under a dictatorship, with Wijk's policies being referred to as Wijkism.

Confederate Governorates

The Inglaterran state is further divided into twenty seven "governorates". Each governorate features a government holding authority over a defined geographic territory, with a legislature that is, in theory, democratically elected. The governor is the highest executive position of the local government in a governorate, and is elected by the people. Governorates are divided into districts, cities of high importance (district-equivalent independent cities), and autonomous regions, which are legally confederal subjects equal to an oblast but are administratively subservient to one.

Foreign Relations

Inglaterra has one of the largest diplomatic networks in the world. It is an early, although not founding, member of the Global Assembly, and has historically played an active role in peacekeeping missions and encouraging democratic governance. It has historically been a great power, although it lost that status after the Third Great War.

In the 21st century Inglaterra has pursued an aggressive foreign policy aimed at securing regional dominance and international influence, as well as increasing domestic support for the government. This culminated in the annexation of the Sekken Islands in 2011. Inglaterra has also sought to increase its influence in the other parts of the world such as Abos, most significantly through military intervention in the Leon Sucession War. Cyberwarfare and airspace violations, along with electoral interference, have been used to increase perceptions of Inglaterran power. Inglaterra's relations with the traditionally democratic states of the Furbish Islands or Alaoyi have collapsed in wake of the Sekken Islands Annexation and Inglaterra' repeated claims on the Antarctic Circle States. Relations between Inglaterra and Alanna have significantly strengthened bilaterally and economically; due to shared political interests and opposition to Alaoyi.

Human Rights and Corruption

Human rights in Inglaterra have been increasingly criticised by leading democracy and human rights groups. Multiple international organizations have called Inglaterra not democratic and allows few political rights and civil liberties to its citizens. Elections, while held regularly, are considered to be neither free nor fair. In particular, the extralegal method in which the Inglaterran parliament was dissolved in considered to have been an obvious sign of the country's growing antidemocratic governance. Despite having multiple political parties represented in the political system, the National Solidarity Party's dominance combined with the lack of true opposition has made the other parties effectively nonexistent.

Inglaterra's autocratic political system has been variously described as a kleptocracy, an oligarchy, and a plutocracy. It routinely ranks low in government transparency and corrupton, which has a long history in Inglaterra, which is seen as a significant problem. It impacts various sectors, including the economy, business, public administration, law enforcement, healthcare, education, and the military.
