'''Ascion''' (/ɑːsɪɒn/), officially the '''Ascion Commonwealth''' (Ascionese : ''Persemakmuran Ascion'') commonly known as '''The Commonwealth''' is a country primarily located in the {{wp|Pacific Ocean}}, consisting of 6 regions, a federal district, two major self-governing territories, and various possessions. 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.
'''Ascion''' (/ɑːsɪɒn/), officially the '''Asia Pacific Union''', commonly known as '''The Union''' is a country primarily located in the {{wp|Pacific Ocean}} of Realm 63, spanning from the continent of Asia, Oceania, Zealandia to the Americas. At 287 million square kilometers (110 million square miles), it is the world's second, or third largest country by total area. With a population of almost 688 million people, it is the second most populous country in the world. The national capital is Honolulu, and the most populous city is Los Angeles.


The Commonwealth emerged from the established Pacific states of Amenria. Disputes over the sociopolitical matters with Amenria led to the [[2043 Metahuman War]] which led to Ascion declaring independence in June 17, 2043. The second constitution was accepted in 2045, which, at the same time also gave The Commonwealth more power to vigorously expand its territories to other parts of the globe, gradually acquiring new territories and admitting new states.
Since the constitutional reform in 2045, Ascion has become a federal republic with vast autonomy given to most of its territories, and is (arguably) the only republican state existing on Earth. Being a transcontinental, and transocean country, Ascion is a melting pot for various ethnicities such as {{wp|Austronesians}}, {{wp|Altaic language|Altais}}, {{wp|Indo-Europeans}}, {{wp|Mestizo}} and {{wp|Amerindians}}. The Union is also the only country with second-highest concentration of [[Awakened]] humans (approximately 1~1.5% of the population) despite being non-theocratic.


The Commonwealth is a federal semi-presidential republic and a representative democracy with three separate branches of government, this includes a bicameral legislature. The Commonwealth positions high in universal ranks of economic freedom, quality of life, and quality of higher education. In spite of significant wage and riches abberations compared to other nations, Ascion ceaselessly ranked high in measures of socioeconomic performance. It is additionally one of the foremost racially and ethnically assorted countries within the world, frequently called a melting pot of societies and ethnicities. Its populace has been significantly formed by centuries of migration and unification.
A highly developed country, the Union accounts for approximately a quarter of global gross domestic product (GDP) and is the world's largest economy by nominal GDP. By value, the Union is the world's largest exporter of goods. It is a {{wp|high-income economy|high-income}} {{wp|social market economy}} that places emphasis on {{wp|automobile manufacturing|automobile}} and {{wp|technology manufacturing}}, with a burgeoning {{wp|service sector}} and {{wp|mining|mining industry}}. Arguably, the Union also holds the highest rank for {{wp|Human Development Index|Human Development Index rating}} in the world, and performs favourably in a number of national performance listings including {{wp|health}}, {{wp|education}} and {{wp|quality of life}}.

Making up more than a third of global military spending, it is the one of the top military power in the world and is a leading political, cultural, and scientific force internationally.
==Etymology==
Ascion was derived from the name "Asia Pacific Union", a similar concept to the {{wp|European Union}} proposed by [[Mugen|Yūko Aoyama]] in 2040. The name itself represents the vast ocean it lies on, and the extremely diverse culture among its regions. The short form "Asia Pacific" is also standard.


==Etymology==
The phrase "Union" in English was originally plural in usage. It described a collection of states—e.g., "the Unions are. " The singular form became popular after the reform and is now standard usage in Ascion. A citizen of the Union is an "Ascionese". "Union", "Ascionese" refer to the country adjectivally ("Ascionese values", "Union forces").
Ascion is derived from the name "Asia Pacific Union", the EU-like concept previously proposed by Song Hyun-Woo in 2037, under the influence of PAA (Pan-Asian Alliance). Although being a transocean and transcontinental nation, the name remained the same, to preserve the knowledge of the "core-continent" or the location where most of the original states is located. The word "Commonwealth" was originally used to describe a collection of states—e.g., "the Commonwealth is." It was later became popular after 2046, and is now interchangeably used with the word "Ascion". A citizen of the Commonwealth is an "Ascionese". "Commonwealth" and "Ascionese" refer to the country adjectivally ("Ascionese value", "Commonwealth forces"). In English, the word "Ascionese" rarely refers to topics or subjects not directly connected with the Commonwealth.


==History==
==History==
===Lemurian Era===
The pacific ocean of what is now part of Ascion's territory, was the site of the lost continent "Lemuria". The continent was heavily contested by many kingdoms ruled {{wp|Jinn|Jinns}}, each competing over for resources. The unending war resulted in the destruction of the continent, rendering it inhabitable. {{wp|God in Islam|God}} would later sunk the continent deep into earth's crust, and transformed the {{wp|Jinn|Jinns}} into a supernatural being of energy that cannot be touched, felt, or heard unless through a medium or accumulate a massive energy enough to merely appear.


==Geography==
===Antiquity===
The six 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 is second in size behind Amenria. The Commonwealth is the world's nation by total area (land and water), with Amenria and Africa 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.
====Mass Migration====
Around 3000 BC, the ancestors of {{wp|Austronesian people}} in Ascion made their migration to the south in waves. The invention of ocean-going sailing technology made the migration possible, as a mean to resolve population growth. The first settlers landed in the archipelago of the {{wp|Philippines}}, intermingling with the earlier Australo-Melanesian population who had inhabited the islands since about 23,000 years earlier. Over the next thousand years, Austronesian peoples migrated southeast to the rest of the Philippines, and into the islands {{wp|Borneo}}, and {{wp|Indonesia}}. Centuries later, they also reached Remote Oceania, and subsequently, reached the Polynesian islands of Samoa and Tonga by around 900 to 800 BCE. They also reached the Cook Islands, Tahiti, and the Marquesas by 700 CE; Hawaiʻi by 900 CE; Rapa Nui by 1000 CE; and New Zealand by 1200 CE. They'd later form small kingdoms and oceanic kingdoms, which Ascion traced it roots from. There is also an evidence that Austronesians may have reached South America from Polynesia where they traded with {{wp|Amerindians}}.


The Commonwealth was originally consisted of six regions; the Core Region (formerly Hawaii), the Inner Region (formerly Japan and Taiwan), Middle Region (formerly Philippines and its surrounding islands), Outer Region (formerly Oceania and Zealandia), Northern Reaches (formerly far east Russia and Alaska), and the Western Reaches (formerly the western states of North and South America). Two more regions, Southern Reaches (formerly parts of the Amenrian State of South Asia) and Gondwana Reaches (southern Atlantic ocean) were added from the recent expansions.
While the {{wp|Austronesian people}} migrated to the pacific, many of the {{wp|Altaic people}} made expansion eastward to {{wp|North Asia}} and {{wp|East Asia}}. Some of them stayed and grew into {{wp|Japanese people}} and {{wp|Korean people}}, while some migrated further to America across Beringia, a land bridge that connected Siberia to present-day Alaska during the Last Glacial Period, and then spread southward throughout the Americas over subsequent generations. Altaic people who migrated to the Americas would later become the ancestor of {{wp|Amerindians}}.


===Core Region===
===Feudal Era===
The Core Region ranked as the busiest region in the whole territory of Commonwealth. This region is where the capital, Gerha is located, and was previously the Hawaiian state of Amenria. The Core Region houses the government buildings such as the parliament, the federal departments, the supreme court, as well as the Citadel, the official residence and office for the Commonwealth Chairman. The Core Region is also where the Temple of Feorh which serves as the communication bureau for interplanetary, intergalactic and multiversal matters.
During the feudal era, most of Ascion's territory was under control of feudal kingdoms and empires. Few of the most notable empire during this period was the {{wp|Empire of Japan}}, which ruled over the Japanese archipelago, the {{wp|Qing dynasty|Chinese Empire}} that extended its territory to Formosa, and the ancient {{wp|Inca empire}} that ruled over the western part of South America.

==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).


Just like its name, the Core Region is the centre most region in the Commonwealth, and borders the other 6 Commonwealth regions by water. It is the only Commonwealth region that is not geographically located in any continent, the only region completely surrounded by water and that is entirely an archipelago, and the only region in which coffee is commercially cultivable.
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.  


In addition to the eight main islands, the region has many smaller islands and islets. Kaʻula is a small island near Niʻihau. The Northwest Islands is a group of nine small, older islands to the northwest of Kauaʻi that extend from Nihoa to Kure Atoll; these are remnants of once much larger volcanic mountains. Across the archipelago are around 130 small rocks and islets, such as Molokini, which are either volcanic, marine sedimentary or erosional in origin.
The Commonwealth has been susceptible to earthquakes long before independence, as most of its territories lie above the {{wp|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.


The tallest mountain in the region, Mauna Kea, is well above 13,796 ft (4,205 m) above mean sea level; it is taller than Mount Everest if measured from the base of the mountain, which lies on the floor of the Pacific Ocean and rises about 33,500 feet (10,200 m).
===Climate===

[[File:ISS-38_Kliuchevskoi_Volcano_on_Kamchatka.jpg|thumb|left|upright|200px|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 [[File:Paisajes_cerca_de_Calama,_Chile,_2016-02-01,_DD_84.JPG|thumb|upright|300px|The dry and hot Atacama Desert, Chile, Ascion]]extremely severe winters in the northern areas of the State of Vladivostok and Alaska, 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 volcanic islands, however, has long been abandoned and is used only for the Commonwealth's scientific research base. Despite having a volcanic island near the capital, most of the capital's area are relatively safe with protective, invisible barriers working 24/7 preventing any tsunami, volcanic ashes, and even lava from reaching the populated areas albeit still susceptible to earthquakes.The Core Region's climate is typical for the tropics, although temperatures and humidity tend to be less extreme because of near-constant trade winds from the east. Summer highs usually reach around 88 °F (31 °C) during the day, with the temperature reaching a low of 75 °F (24 °C) at night. Winter day temperatures are usually around 83 °F (28 °C); at low elevation they seldom dip below 65 °F (18 °C) at night. Snow, not usually associated with the tropics, falls at 13,800 feet (4,200 m) on Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa in some winter months.
The Southern territories, most notably Oceania, possess either tropical rainforest climate, or oceanic climate. In many states of New Zealand 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 existence of Atacama desert near the coast, spanning from the north to the south close to Antarctica.


===Inner Region===
It is by far the second busiest state in the Commonwealth. This region acts as the cultural, social and economic capital of the Commonwealth. Most of the Commonwealth's private corporations are headquartered in this region. About 73% of the region is mountainous, with a mountain range running through each of the main islands. The highest mountain is Mount Fuji, with an elevation of 3,776 m (12,388 ft). The Inner Region's forest cover rate is 68.55% since the mountains are heavily forested.


Since there is little level ground, many hills and mountainsides at lower elevations around towns and cities are often cultivated. As this region is situated in a volcanic zone along the Pacific deeps, frequent low-intensity earth tremors and occasional volcanic activity are felt throughout the islands. Destructive earthquakes occur several times a century. Hot springs are numerous and have been exploited as an economic capital by the leisure industry.
==Politics==
====Government====
According to the Constitution of Ascion, the country is an asymmetric federation and semi-presidential republic, wherein the president is the head of state, and the prime minister is the head of government. The Union is fundamentally structured as a multi-party representative democracy, with the federal government composed of three branches:


The region's archipelago is relatively far away from the Asian continent. Taiwan is closest to the eastern part of of the Amenria with a distance of 190 km (111 mi). The most northern part of the region, Hokkaido island is bordering the Northern Reaches. Most of the population lives on the Pacific coast side of Japanese archipelago and Taiwan. The west coast facing the East Sea is less densely populated.
*Legislative: The bicameral Federal Supreme Congress, made up of the 450-member Representatives and the 170-member Senators, adopts federal law, declares war, approves treaties, has the power of the purse and the power of impeachment of the president.
*Executive: The president is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, can veto legislative bills before they become law, and appoints the Government of Ascion (Cabinet) and other officers, who administer and enforce federal laws and policies.
*Judiciary: The Constitutional Court, Supreme Court and lower federal courts, whose judges are appointed by the Federation Council on the recommendation of the president, interpret laws and can overturn laws they deem unconstitutional.
The president is elected by popular vote for a six-year term (eligible for a second term, but not for a third consecutive term). Ministries of the government are composed of the premier and his deputies, ministers, and selected other individuals; all are appointed by the president on the recommendation of the prime minister (whereas the appointment of the latter requires the consent of the Congress).


Most of the region's climate belong to the temperate zone with humid subtropical climate (Köppen climate classification Cfa) characterized by four distinct seasons. However, its climate varies from cool humid continental climate (Köppen climate classification Dfb) in the north such as northern Hokkaido, to warm tropical rainforest climate (Köppen climate classification Af) in the southernmost part of Taiwan island.
===Administrative divisions===
According to the constitution, the Union is comprised of 28 federal subjects. In 2046, when the new constitution was adopted, there were 38 federal subjects listed, but some were later merged. These objects have equal representation—two delegates each—in the Senate. The federal subjects have equal representation—two delegates each—in the Senate, the upper house of the Federal Supreme Congress. They do, however, differ in the degree of autonomy they enjoy.
*States
The most common type of federal subject with a governor and locally elected legislature. Commonly named after their administrative centres. Ascion has 13 states.
*Republics
Each is nominally autonomous; home to a specific ethnic minority, and has its own constitution, language, and legislature, but is represented by the federal government in international affairs. Currently there are 3 republics.
*Federal Cities
Major cities that function as separate regions (Honolulu, Canberra, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Lima).
*Territories
Each territories feature a state government holding authority over a defined geographic territory, with a state legislature, the Legislative Assembly, that is democratically elected.  Currently there are 3 territories.
*Autonomous Region
The only autonomous region is the {{wp|Jewish Autonomous Oblast|Jewish Autonomous Region}}.


===Middle Region===
==Economy==
Known for its tropical climate and a large archipelago, the middle region serves as another tourist destination for Ascion. Its 7000 islands full of sandy beaches are said to be rivaling the prestige of core region's beaches. It is also known for its huge population, apparently the largest among all other regions in Ascion and is the only region with the largest population of Christians.
The economy of the Asia Pacific Union is a mixed free-market economy which is composed of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and domestic and foreign private businesses. The private sector is estimated to constitute 86.4% of the economy by 2049. While its economy has reached a postindustrial level of development, the Union remains an industrial power.  


===Outer Region===
===Agriculture & Fishing===
Known as the home for exotic animals and a vast landscape of deserts, lakes, and grasslands. It is by far the largest land-territory of Ascion, with the entire continent of Australasia and Zealandia takes up to 70% of the land. The continent of Australia, is home to iron ore, diamond and uranium mining sites. Its capital, Sydney, serves as a hub for Ascionese mining corporations. The continent of Zealandia, however, is known for its lush forest and grasslands, and is home to Ascion's ecological research base.
Ascion is one of the world's largest producer and consumer of agricultural products – and some 30~40% of the entire population is working in the farming industry. Virtually all arable land is used for food crops. Ascion is the world's largest producer of fish and wheat, and is among the principal sources of rice, corn (maize), tobacco, soybeans, potatoes and other staple foods. Major non-food crops furnish Ascion with a small proportion of its foreign trade revenue. Yields are high because of intensive cultivation, for example, Ascion's cropland area is only 55% of the Amenria total, but still produces a large amount, as a result of the current breakthrough in farming technology such as vertical farming, hydroponics, and terraforming deserts into farmlands.


===Northern Reaches===
Since 2045, Ascion has been the world largest exporter of fish and fish products. In 2047, exports, including aquatic plants, were valued at UNW 7.7 billion, with African Union and the Europe as its main consumer. In 2047, the Ascionese fishing industry harvested 3,190,946 tonnes of fish from wild fisheries and another 114,752 tonnes from aquaculture, making Ascion the leading producer of fish.  
The most northern state of Ascion. It has the least population among any other Ascionese regions, as it has a relatively cold climate, with an eternal ice cap takes up to 30% of the northern area. It is known for its ski resort, and is home to werewolves, and noble vampires. The northern reaches provides a suitable place for Ascionese weapon research, as there were various weapon-testing and weapon development base scattered across the white, snowy area of this region.


===Western Reaches===
===Energy===
The most eastern state of Ascion states (but the most western of the world). The northern area of this region is home to the Silicon Valley, a world-known area that serves as global center for tech companies. The northern area is also home to the world's largest casino. The southern area, however, is known for its farming facilities, particularly because of its vast grasslands and forests.
[[File:South_America_Windfarm.jpeg|thumb|right|upright|300px|Cabo de Hornos windfarm in Chile]]Before 2045, Ascion's energy production has grown dramatically, as has the proportion allocated to domestic consumption. Currently, some 50 percent of all power is generated from wind and solar power, with about 30 percent at nuclear energy installations; around 15 percent from geothermal installations and the remaining percentage from coal and oil. In addition, each geographical regions are often abundant of most energy sectors, making each States self-sufficient in generating energy. For example, the State of [[San Andreas]] alone has both on-shore and off-shore wind farm, a solar farm, fusion reactors, as well as geothermal stations, enough to supply the republic and sometimes experience a over-supplied in which the surplus are transferred into other neighbouring states.[[File:2020-05-20,_Sentinel-2A_L1C,_True_color_(1).jpg|thumb|left|upright|200px|Darwin Solar Farm in Simpson Desert, Australia]]Currently, the largest wind farm is the off-shore windfarm of Cabo de Hornos, located about 15km from the tip of the South American continent, generating almost 20 TW (Terawatt) electricity. While Darwin Solar Farm, located in the north-central part of [[Australia]] is currently the largest solar-power installation, generating almost 5000 MW, currently supplying the whole area of Oceania and Zealandia via a 4,500km high-voltage direct current (HVDC) network.  


===Gondwana Reaches===
===Mining===
The new state of Ascion, located in the southern part of Atlantic ocean (near the Antarctic), comprised of small islets and rocky islands. There's not much of information about this new area, but the government claims to use this area as underwater housing facilities for oceanborn species.
Mining contributes about 5.6% of Ascion's Gross Domestic Product. This is up from only 2.6% in 2044. In contrast, mineral exports contribute around 35% of Ascion's exports. Ascion is the world's largest exporter of coal (35% of international trade), iron ore, lead, diamonds, rutile, zinc and zirconium, gold and uranium, and second largest of aluminium. A number of large state-owned and private enterprises conducts their mining operation mostly in Australia and Alaska.  


===Southern Reaches===
==Science & Technology==
Originally the territory of A m e n r i a, the Commonwealth managed to capture small islands and islets through recent expansions.
Ascion has made significant investments in scientific research and is quickly catching up with the Amenria in R&D spending, thanks to its massive population of awakeneds. Science and technology are seen as vital for achieving Ascion's economic and political goals, and are held as a source of national pride to a degree sometimes described as "techno-nationalism".


==Government & Politics==
Ascion is developing its education system with an emphasis on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Ascionese technology companies such as [[Antares]] and [[Halcyon]] have become world leaders in telecommunications and personal computing, and Ascionese supercomputers are consistently ranked among the world's most powerful. Most of these companies are remnants of the {{wp|American}} and {{wp|Japanese}} multinational conglomerates. Ascion has been the world's largest market for industrial robots and androids since 2045 and will account for 45% of newly installed robots and household androids.
The Commonwealth is a federal semi-presidential republic. It is governed by the Commonwealth Chairman (commonly called as Supreme Chairman) and the Commonwealth Premier. The Commonwealth Chairman shares power with the Commonwealth Premier. The division of responsibilities between the premier and the chairman is not explicitly stated in the constitution, but has evolved as a political convention based on the constitutional principle that the premier is appointed (with the subsequent approval of a parliament majority) and dismissed by the chairman. The chairman exercises de facto control over all fields of policy via the premier. It is up to the chairman to decide how much "autonomy" is left to "their" premier to act on their own. All responsibilities not granted to the national government are reserved to the provinces. A percentage of revenues from each provinces are allocated to the Commonwealth's central budget.


The Commonwealth Chairman can decide to dissolve the Commonwealth Congress and call for new legislative elections. This is meant as a way to resolve stalemates where the Assembly cannot decide on a clear political direction. This possibility is seldom exercised. Both the Commonwealth Chairman and the Commonwealth Premier has seven-years of serving term. Both the Commonwealth Chairman and the Commonwealth Premier has seven years serving term and only renewable once, totaling the maximum of serving term into 14 (fourteen) years.
==Demographics==
Ascion has a population of 658 million in the 2047 census, however this number is expected to have exceeded 660 million in 2048. It is the second most populous country on the planet. This population is primarily dominated by Austronesians (Polynesians, Melanesians, Micronesians and Malayo-Polynesians) who make up around 36% of the population, with the next largest demographic being the Altais (East Asians and Northern Asians) at around 32%, with the remaining are Indo-Europeans (Anglo-Americans, Hispanics, Eastern Slavs), and Amerindians.


The legislative, namely Commonwealth Congress, is a place where representatives from different regions and the Chief of State assemble and discuss the national constitution and international politic matters. The representatives are elected or appointed, and their serving term is limited into four-year term, and renewable only once.
Ascion has a fairly high birth rate, with 12.8 people born per 1000 women, higher than the average seen in the planet, but this is beginning to decrease as technology progresses within the country and more families choose to not have children. Life expectancy in Ascion is 94.6 years for men and 99.1 years for women, which has risen in recent years due to a major breakthrough in technological advancement. Ascion encourages immigration, especially from states formally within its borders, and the government has launched many programs to assist immigrations in settling down in Ascion.
The Commonwealth Congress can overthrow the executive government (that is, the Premier and other ministers) by a motion of no confidence. Though, this is seldom exercised, and purely rhetorical; party discipline ensures that, throughout a parliamentary term, the government is never overthrown by the Congress.


Although, the Commonwealth is a federacy where each provinces have authorities to make their own law, it is limited by the national constitution to some part, and must be based on the national constitution with a minimum of 50%.
==Trivia==
* Ascion is also known as the alternative universe version of [[Orientia]], due to their similarity, with the only difference being all of its citizens are gender-swapped. For example, Yūko Aoyama is the cis female version of [[Mugen|Yūji Aoyama]].


The judicial made up of Supreme Court, the Religious Court and some lower federal courts. It has the power to hold judicial review.

Ascion (/ɑːsɪɒn/), officially the Asia Pacific Union, commonly known as The Union is a country primarily located in the Pacific Ocean of Realm 63, spanning from the continent of Asia, Oceania, Zealandia to the Americas. At 287 million square kilometers (110 million square miles), it is the world's second, or third largest country by total area. With a population of almost 688 million people, it is the second most populous country in the world. The national capital is Honolulu, and the most populous city is Los Angeles.

Since the constitutional reform in 2045, Ascion has become a federal republic with vast autonomy given to most of its territories, and is (arguably) the only republican state existing on Earth. Being a transcontinental, and transocean country, Ascion is a melting pot for various ethnicities such as Austronesians, Altais, Indo-Europeans, Mestizo and Amerindians. The Union is also the only country with second-highest concentration of Awakened humans (approximately 1~1.5% of the population) despite being non-theocratic.

A highly developed country, the Union accounts for approximately a quarter of global gross domestic product (GDP) and is the world's largest economy by nominal GDP. By value, the Union is the world's 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. Arguably, the Union also holds the highest rank for Human Development Index rating in the world, and performs favourably in a number of national performance listings including health, education and quality of life.

Etymology

Ascion was derived from the name "Asia Pacific Union", a similar concept to the European Union proposed by Yūko Aoyama in 2040. The name itself represents the vast ocean it lies on, and the extremely diverse culture among its regions. The short form "Asia Pacific" is also standard.

The phrase "Union" in English was originally plural in usage. It described a collection of states—e.g., "the Unions are. " The singular form became popular after the reform and is now standard usage in Ascion. A citizen of the Union is an "Ascionese". "Union", "Ascionese" refer to the country adjectivally ("Ascionese values", "Union forces").

History

Lemurian Era

The pacific ocean of what is now part of Ascion's territory, was the site of the lost continent "Lemuria". The continent was heavily contested by many kingdoms ruled Jinns, each competing over for resources. The unending war resulted in the destruction of the continent, rendering it inhabitable. God would later sunk the continent deep into earth's crust, and transformed the Jinns into a supernatural being of energy that cannot be touched, felt, or heard unless through a medium or accumulate a massive energy enough to merely appear.

Antiquity

Mass Migration

Around 3000 BC, the ancestors of Austronesian people in Ascion made their migration to the south in waves. The invention of ocean-going sailing technology made the migration possible, as a mean to resolve population growth. The first settlers landed in the archipelago of the Philippines, intermingling with the earlier Australo-Melanesian population who had inhabited the islands since about 23,000 years earlier. Over the next thousand years, Austronesian peoples migrated southeast to the rest of the Philippines, and into the islands Borneo, and Indonesia. Centuries later, they also reached Remote Oceania, and subsequently, reached the Polynesian islands of Samoa and Tonga by around 900 to 800 BCE. They also reached the Cook Islands, Tahiti, and the Marquesas by 700 CE; Hawaiʻi by 900 CE; Rapa Nui by 1000 CE; and New Zealand by 1200 CE. They'd later form small kingdoms and oceanic kingdoms, which Ascion traced it roots from. There is also an evidence that Austronesians may have reached South America from Polynesia where they traded with Amerindians.

While the Austronesian people migrated to the pacific, many of the Altaic people made expansion eastward to North Asia and East Asia. Some of them stayed and grew into Japanese people and Korean people, while some migrated further to America across Beringia, a land bridge that connected Siberia to present-day Alaska during the Last Glacial Period, and then spread southward throughout the Americas over subsequent generations. Altaic people who migrated to the Americas would later become the ancestor of Amerindians.

Feudal Era

During the feudal era, most of Ascion's territory was under control of feudal kingdoms and empires. Few of the most notable empire during this period was the Empire of Japan, which ruled over the Japanese archipelago, the Chinese Empire that extended its territory to Formosa, and the ancient Inca empire that ruled over the western part of South America.

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

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, Chile, Ascion

extremely severe winters in the northern areas of the State of Vladivostok and Alaska, 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 New Zealand 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 existence of Atacama desert near the coast, spanning from the north to the south close to Antarctica.


Politics

Government

According to the Constitution of Ascion, the country is an asymmetric federation and semi-presidential republic, wherein the president is the head of state, and the prime minister is the head of government. The Union is fundamentally structured as a multi-party representative democracy, with the federal government composed of three branches:

  • Legislative: The bicameral Federal Supreme Congress, made up of the 450-member Representatives and the 170-member Senators, adopts federal law, declares war, approves treaties, has the power of the purse and the power of impeachment of the president.
  • Executive: The president is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, can veto legislative bills before they become law, and appoints the Government of Ascion (Cabinet) and other officers, who administer and enforce federal laws and policies.
  • Judiciary: The Constitutional Court, Supreme Court and lower federal courts, whose judges are appointed by the Federation Council on the recommendation of the president, interpret laws and can overturn laws they deem unconstitutional.

The president is elected by popular vote for a six-year term (eligible for a second term, but not for a third consecutive term). Ministries of the government are composed of the premier and his deputies, ministers, and selected other individuals; all are appointed by the president on the recommendation of the prime minister (whereas the appointment of the latter requires the consent of the Congress).

Administrative divisions

According to the constitution, the Union is comprised of 28 federal subjects. In 2046, when the new constitution was adopted, there were 38 federal subjects listed, but some were later merged. These objects have equal representation—two delegates each—in the Senate. The federal subjects have equal representation—two delegates each—in the Senate, the upper house of the Federal Supreme Congress. They do, however, differ in the degree of autonomy they enjoy.

  • States

The most common type of federal subject with a governor and locally elected legislature. Commonly named after their administrative centres. Ascion has 13 states.

  • Republics

Each is nominally autonomous; home to a specific ethnic minority, and has its own constitution, language, and legislature, but is represented by the federal government in international affairs. Currently there are 3 republics.

  • Federal Cities

Major cities that function as separate regions (Honolulu, Canberra, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Lima).

  • Territories

Each territories feature a state government holding authority over a defined geographic territory, with a state legislature, the Legislative Assembly, that is democratically elected. Currently there are 3 territories.

  • Autonomous Region

The only autonomous region is the Jewish Autonomous Region.

Economy

The economy of the Asia Pacific Union is a mixed free-market economy which is composed of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and domestic and foreign private businesses. The private sector is estimated to constitute 86.4% of the economy by 2049. While its economy has reached a postindustrial level of development, the Union remains an industrial power.

Agriculture & Fishing

Ascion is one of the world's largest producer and consumer of agricultural products – and some 30~40% of the entire population is working in the farming industry. Virtually all arable land is used for food crops. Ascion is the world's largest producer of fish and wheat, and is among the principal sources of rice, corn (maize), tobacco, soybeans, potatoes and other staple foods. Major non-food crops furnish Ascion with a small proportion of its foreign trade revenue. Yields are high because of intensive cultivation, for example, Ascion's cropland area is only 55% of the Amenria total, but still produces a large amount, as a result of the current breakthrough in farming technology such as vertical farming, hydroponics, and terraforming deserts into farmlands.

Since 2045, Ascion has been the world largest exporter of fish and fish products. In 2047, exports, including aquatic plants, were valued at UNW 7.7 billion, with African Union and the Europe as its main consumer. In 2047, the Ascionese fishing industry harvested 3,190,946 tonnes of fish from wild fisheries and another 114,752 tonnes from aquaculture, making Ascion the leading producer of fish.

Energy

Before 2045, Ascion's energy production has grown dramatically, as has the proportion allocated to domestic consumption. Currently, some 50 percent of all power is generated from wind and solar power, with about 30 percent at nuclear energy installations; around 15 percent from geothermal installations and the remaining percentage from coal and oil. In addition, each geographical regions are often abundant of most energy sectors, making each States self-sufficient in generating energy. For example, the State of San Andreas alone has both on-shore and off-shore wind farm, a solar farm, fusion reactors, as well as geothermal stations, enough to supply the republic and sometimes experience a over-supplied in which the surplus are transferred into other neighbouring states.

Darwin Solar Farm in Simpson Desert, Australia

Currently, the largest wind farm is the off-shore windfarm of Cabo de Hornos, located about 15km from the tip of the South American continent, generating almost 20 TW (Terawatt) electricity. While Darwin Solar Farm, located in the north-central part of Australia is currently the largest solar-power installation, generating almost 5000 MW, currently supplying the whole area of Oceania and Zealandia via a 4,500km high-voltage direct current (HVDC) network.

Mining

Mining contributes about 5.6% of Ascion's Gross Domestic Product. This is up from only 2.6% in 2044. In contrast, mineral exports contribute around 35% of Ascion's exports. Ascion is the world's largest exporter of coal (35% of international trade), iron ore, lead, diamonds, rutile, zinc and zirconium, gold and uranium, and second largest of aluminium. A number of large state-owned and private enterprises conducts their mining operation mostly in Australia and Alaska.

Science & Technology

Ascion has made significant investments in scientific research and is quickly catching up with the Amenria in R&D spending, thanks to its massive population of awakeneds. Science and technology are seen as vital for achieving Ascion's economic and political goals, and are held as a source of national pride to a degree sometimes described as "techno-nationalism".

Ascion is developing its education system with an emphasis on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Ascionese technology companies such as Antares and Halcyon have become world leaders in telecommunications and personal computing, and Ascionese supercomputers are consistently ranked among the world's most powerful. Most of these companies are remnants of the American and Japanese multinational conglomerates. Ascion has been the world's largest market for industrial robots and androids since 2045 and will account for 45% of newly installed robots and household androids.

Demographics

Ascion has a population of 658 million in the 2047 census, however this number is expected to have exceeded 660 million in 2048. It is the second most populous country on the planet. This population is primarily dominated by Austronesians (Polynesians, Melanesians, Micronesians and Malayo-Polynesians) who make up around 36% of the population, with the next largest demographic being the Altais (East Asians and Northern Asians) at around 32%, with the remaining are Indo-Europeans (Anglo-Americans, Hispanics, Eastern Slavs), and Amerindians.

Ascion has a fairly high birth rate, with 12.8 people born per 1000 women, higher than the average seen in the planet, but this is beginning to decrease as technology progresses within the country and more families choose to not have children. Life expectancy in Ascion is 94.6 years for men and 99.1 years for women, which has risen in recent years due to a major breakthrough in technological advancement. Ascion encourages immigration, especially from states formally within its borders, and the government has launched many programs to assist immigrations in settling down in Ascion.

Trivia

  • Ascion is also known as the alternative universe version of Orientia, due to their similarity, with the only difference being all of its citizens are gender-swapped. For example, Yūko Aoyama is the cis female version of Yūji Aoyama.
