Onhsanenea, officially the Republican Sultanate of Onhsanenea, is a country in northern Galia. It is bordered to the west by the Great Galian Sea and to the south and east by Dilania and Yawatha. The country's climate varies but is primarily hot, with regional differences being driven by moisture. In general, the north is subtropical and wet while further south is more desertous and dry. Despite its large size, the vast majority of the country is harsh deset, with over 42.1 million people living in the northern tropical regions and around the Kanoronheeyo River. The capital and largest city is the northeastern city of Wahhata. Other major cities include Ohskenonhwe, Tewakaronten, Skaronwat, Kaniatarowi, and Wakotaki.

Just under 85% are Eastern Galians, primarily belonging to the Onhsanenean ethnic group, although about 18% of the population is Yawathan or Dilanian. Other than these groups, Onhsanenea is highly diverse. Large populations descended from Gagian, Marchann, and Angelean traders are present in parts of the country, including a large population of indigenous Angeleans that immigrated throughout the 19th century and are related to, but not a part of, Eastern Galian groups. In recent years, immigration from Alanna has led to a small but vibrant minority centered around the western coast of the country. The country is also diverse linguistically. While most of the country speaks Onhsanenean, minority languages centered in urban enclaves or isolated regions also exist. Two of these languages, Yawathan and Dilanian are given regional status in the Articles of Independence, the country's founding documents. In addition, Classical Arabic is given unique status in the country as the de jure administrative language. Many formal events and documents open in Classical Arabic, though it is rarely used outside of ceremonial or stylistic purposes.

The area in what is now Onhsanenea fell under control of various monarchies throughout the early 1st millenium. At some point around 812 AD, Islamic traders successfully converted a local king, whose birth name is unknown, who became Sultan Al-Onh I. While at one point relatively middle-sized in terms of power, Al-Onh's sultante prospered and spanned much of modern Onhsanenea, and ensured a strong Islamic presence would remain in the country, even while Dilanian and Yawathan kingdoms would forcibly integrate the sultante after its collapse in 1099, which fell under complete control of Dilani-Yawatha in the mid 1700s. Onhsanenea would be granted independence in 1920 as a part of the Boston Peace Conference. Onhsanenea would be reestablished as an independent sultanate, with Onh Al-Khanenharon I, whose lineage descends from the legendary Al-Onh I, being made its first sultan. This independence would last until Onhsanenea was partitioned by Yawatha and Dilania. This occupation would last until the closing days of the Third Great War, where Onhsanenea would be reestablished by the Coalition forces. Since then, high economic growth and infrastructure projects have fueled Onhsanenea's rise to become one of the wealthiest countries in the region.

Onhsanenea is generally considered a regional power and a minor global power. It is economically powerful, with one of the highest GDP per capita in the region and the third highest median income in the region. It is considered a high income economy and a developed country, with a democratic government. While Islam, specifically the Onhsanenean branch, is the offical faith, governance is almost entirely secular and freedom of religion is upheld. Onhsanenea ranks highly in press freedom, democracy, and transparency. The sultan, currently Tekanawí:te Al-Khanenharon II, lacks formal power and is generally considered a figurehead. Most of the country's 53.1 million people live in the northern subtropical zones, with less than 10.9 million living in the rest of the country. Onhsanenea is a member of the Galian Entente, Global Community, and Galian Economic Conference.

Politics

Main Article: Politics of Onhsanenea

Government

Main Article: Government of Onhsanenea
According to the Articles of Independence, which were adopted on 1 January, 1984, Onhsanenea is a federal constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of government, wherein the Sultan of Onhsanenea is the head of state and the wazir is the head of government. Power is separated among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government, as defined by the Articles, which serves as the supreme legal document and was written after the end of the Third Great War.

Sultan Tekanawí:te Al-Khanenharon II has served as Sultan since 1984. His grandfather, Tekanawí:te Muhammed IV was the last sultan of an independent Onhsanenea before being deposed and exiled to The Furbish Islands in 1945.

While the sultan, currently Tekanawí:te Al-Khanenharon II, officially retains power, the duties of the sultan have become strictly representative and ceremonial through a combination of constitutional limitations and practice. Some of these powers, such as the ability to formally appoint or dismiss a wazir and other ministers in the executive, are limited by requirements of parliamentary approval, or while the monarch formally appoints legislators to the Royal Council, the sultan is required to appoint those who win election. Additionally, the sultan is the commander-in-chief of the Onhsanenean Armed Forces, and serves as the chief diplomatic official abroad and as a symbol of unity. Al-Khanenharon II of Clan Tekanawí:te was crowned sultan in 1984, the first sultan since 1945. His daughter, Inaya is the legal and rightful heir to the trone and the sultante, as Onhsanenea has had absolute primogeniture since 1984.

In practice, the wazir exercises executive powers. Constitutionally, legislative power is vested into the Royal Council, the supreme legislative authority and a unicameral body. Onhsanenea is fundamentally structured as a representative democracy. The Royal Council can pass a law by simple majority of the 596 councilors, who are elected on the basis of single member first past the post geographically based districts.

The Royal Council ratifies national treaties developed by the executive branch. It can impeach members of the government if their acts are declared unconstitutional. If an indicted suspect is impeached, the Council has the power to remove the person from office. The position of wazir, Onhsanenea's head of government, is allocated to the councilor who can obtain the confidence of a majority in the Council, usually the current leader of the largest political party. Due to Onhsanenea's voting system, the system is dominated primarily by the Federalist Party, the primary right wing party, and the Labor Party, the primary left wing party. Together, over 90% of seats fall to these two parties. The remaining 10% are held by niche issue or regional parties.

The Royal Council Chambers in Wahhata is the meeting place of the Royal Council.

The wazir nominates the cabinet, traditionally drawn from members of the same political party or coalition, making up the government. The wazir organizes the executive government and exercises its power. Onhsanenea has a state religion, the Onhsanenean branch of Islam, which has been granted more internal autonomy in day-to-day affairs, but which still has a constitutional status. During the First Sultanate, over half of the cabinet members had to be Muslims. This rule was removed during the 1984 reestablishment of an independent Onhsanenea. The issue of separation of church and state in Onhsanenea has been increasingly controversial, with many sides expressing a will to change this state of affairs to reflect an increasingly diverse population. Notably, some members of the Labor Party have expressed an interest in disestablishment, though the party line still supports the state religion. Regardless, freedom of religion is maintained, with religious minorities being allowed to practice their religion freely from government persecution.

Political Parties

Main Article: Political Parties of Onhsanenea
Since the 1992 elections, the two main political parties in Onhsanenea are the Federalist Party and Labor Party. While both parties have their origins in earlier political movements, the modern incarnations arose in the 1990s. After the Third Great War, the United Front for Onhsanenea, the resistance group to Dilanian and Yawathan occupation, assumed leadership of Onhsanenea as the sole national party in a national unity coalition. While other parties were legal, and did win elections at times, the national leadership came from the United Front and the party's messaging and fundraising completely outstripped any other party, taking over 75% of the vote in national elections. This united coalition would be dissolved before the 1992 elections amid infighting.

The modern day Federalist Party was founded in 1991 and is the continuation of the Monarchists that existed before the Second Great War. Today, the party is a broadly center-right and conservative party, focusing on decentralized government, lower taxes, and social conservatism. The Labor Party was founded in 1992 and is the first party to win an election in post-2GW Onhsanenea, winning the 1992 elections. It is the spiritual successor to the Social Worker's Party from pre-2GW Onhsanenea, and tends to favor more an internationalist foreign policy, interventionist economics, and social services.

In addition to the two main parties, smaller parties like the Yawathan National Party pick up seats in parts of the country, but overall they are not relevant to building governments in most elections.

Foreign Relations

Main Article: Foreign Missions of Onhsanenea Onhsanenea is a member of the Global Community, having joined the organization on the same day of its independence. It is also a member of the Galian Entente and the Galian Economic Conference.

Territories

Main Article: Onhsanenean Territories
Onhsanenea is a federation composed of 14 teeohteeahkwak (singular: tyohteeahkeh), or roughly translated to as "territories". These territories are often group into three main regions: Northern Onhsanenea, the Gahnawake River Region, and Southern Onhsanenea. Territories have responsibility for social programs such as healthcare, education, and welfare, as well as administration of justice (but not criminal law). Using its spending powers, the federal government can initiate national policies in territorial areas such as health and child care; the territories can opt out of these cost-share programs but rarely do so in practice. Equalization payments are made by the federal government to ensure reasonably uniform standards of services and taxation are kept between the richer and poorer territories.

All territorial governments function broadly similar to the national government. Voters elect a legislature which then elects the local governor, who must retain the confidence of the territorial legislature. Four territories (Karonhianó:ron, Rontsitsiá:kon, Tewahatá:kon, and Tsitsiotsí:io) all have local royal families restored in 1984 by popular referendum. The other seven territories have a commissioner appointed by the federal government. These local royalty and commissioners function as the heads of state of the various territories. All territories are essentially two party systems, though not always a system consisting of the two national parties.

The 14 territories are;

Military

Main Article: Onhsanenean Armed Forces Unresolved tensions with Dilania and former Yawathan states have led to considerable military spending, about ₦32.46 billion (₭29.85 billion), or 1.5% of GDP. This reflects an increase over 1.1% in 2014. While systems for conscription exist, they are currently inactive. Openly lesbian, gay, or bisexual soldiers have been allowed to serve since 2021 and women have been able to serve in noncombat roles since 2019. The Armed Forces total roughly 340,000 active duty personnel and 38,000 reserves. The monarch is the traditional commander-in-chief, but practical command lies with the wazir.

The Onhsanenean Armed Forces consists of three branches;

  • The Royal Army has about 200,000 soldiers and is the largest single branch of the military.
  • The Royal Navy has about 80,000 sailors.
  • The Royal Air Force is the smallest branch with 60,000 airmen.

As a member of the Galian Entente, Onhsanenea participates in training exercises and deployments under the banner of the alliance. It has been involved in conflicts in Gryva and former Yawatha in addition to deploying troops to Alaoyi and Akenye as a part of allied deterrence operations. Its primarily foreign suppliers are Greater Niagara and The Furbish Islands, though joint projects with Los Angeles and Akenye have produced products such as the Galian Universal Landcruiser and M23 Jerroland Rifle.

Law

Main articles: Law Enforcement in Onhsanenea and Onhsanenean Judicial System

Onhsanenea uses a civil law system where laws are created and amended in the Roya Council and the system regulated through a series of domestic courts. These courts include the Supreme Court, which consists of 20 permanent judges and a Chief Justice, appellate courts, and local municipal courts. The judiciary is independent of the executive and legislative branches. While the wazir nominates judges to the position for office, the monarch provides the candidates from a list given to the monarch by the Supreme Court and lower court justices. Once the wazir has chosen a candidate, the Royal Council must approve the candidate before they take office. If a nomination fails at any point, the process restarts. Lower courts are nominated by the same process, though the wazir can pick any canddate he so chooses.

The Courts' formal mission is to regulate the Onhsanenean judicial system, interpret the Articles, and implement the legislation adopted by the Royal Council. In its judicial reviews, it monitors the legislative and executive branches to ensure that they comply with provisions of enacted legislation.

Officers of the Royal Police Service's Emergency Response Unit. Policing in Onhsanenean is commonly done on the municipal level, though specialist units commonly come from territorial and central government police forces.

The law is enforced in Onhsanenea by the Royal Police Service. It is a unified national police service made up of fourteen territorial departments and seven specialist agencies, such as the Financial Investigation Agency; the Royal Criminal Investigation Service; or the Emergency Response Unit, each headed by a deputy director. The Police Service is headed by the National Police Directorate, which reports to the Underwazirate of Justice. The Directorate consists of 21 deputy directors, for each territorial department and specialist agency, with one director. The current Director of the Royal Police Service is Cera:tor:an Ranhek:atki.

Onhsanenea abolished the death penalty for regular criminal acts in 2002 but it remains legal for high treason in war and war-crimes. Onhsanenean prisons tend to be less strict for nonviolent offender, with an emphasis on rehabilitation. At 29.1%, Onhsanenea's re-conviction rate is fairly average for other developed countries. Several international organizations have given Onhsanenea high marks in press freedom and access to government and judicial proceedings. In general, the legal and institutional framework in the country is characterised by a high degree of transparency, accountability and integrity, and the perception and the occurrence of corruption are very low.
