The '''Federation of Amrasia''' or commonly known as '''Amrasia''', is an intercontinental country primarily located in {{wp|North America}}. It is a federation of 20 states, a federal capital district ([[Central City]]) and 12 indigenous reservations. Outside the union of states, it asserts sovereignty over two major unincorporated island territories and various uninhabited islands. The country has the world's largest land area and exclusive economic zone. Amrasia is bordered by [[Cascadea]] and [[Aztlan]] to the west and south, and [[Acadia]] to the east. Amrasia is the only country bordering the [[Drakonite Territory]], other than [[Russian Kingdom|Russia]].
The '''Federation of Amrasia''' or commonly known as '''Amrasia''', is a transcontinental country primarily located in {{wp|North America}} and {{wp|North Asia}}. It is a federation of 10 states, a federal capital district ({{wp|Anchorage}}) and 12 indigenous reservations. Amrasia is curently the northernmost country on Earth, bordering the {{wp|Arctic Sea}} directly and spanning across the {{wp|Bering strait}}. It is bordered by [[Acadia (Filum)|Acadia]] to the east, both [[Nivesia]] and [[Cascadea]] to the south.
 
The land of what today is Amrasia had a rich history that dates back to over 1,000 years ago. {{wp|Paleo-Indians}} migrated from the Bering sea and established multiple civilizations throughout the North American territory, which, centuries later, would face colonization by the {{wp|British}}, {{wp|Spanish}} and {{wp|French}} immigrants. The North American land faced sequence of conflicts and wars that led to the independence in 1774 as the {{wp|United States}} of America, and  which lasted until the [[Grand Singularity]] in 2038.
 
The [[Grand Singularity]] that engulfed the entire globe and brought massive changes to Earth's geography, also affected countries and societies, which resulted in some countries break up, shrink, or expand their territories. Amrasia is the direct result of the event, where the {{w[|United States}} broke up due to [[Drakonites|Drakon]] invasions resulting in devastation, and political unrests that followed after the invasion ended. Distrust in the federal government led to the establishment of new states, with Amrasia being one of them, initiated by [[

Meanwhile, the term "{{wp|Asia}}" finds its roots in the Ancient Greek word Ἀσία, as documented by {{wp|Herodotus}} around 440 BCE, initially used to denote {{wp|Anatolia}} or the {{wp|Persian Empire}}, distinct from {{wp|Greece}} and {{wp|Egypt}}. Originally, it referred solely to the eastern shore of the {{wp|Aegean Sea}}, known to the {{wp|Hittites}} as Assuwa.

In its native name, Amrasia is known as ''Qaumasiarmajaaq'' which means "two white lands".

The earliest inhabitants of North America migrated from Siberia through the {{wp|Bering land bridge}} over 14,000 years ago, establishing settlements like {{wp|Old Crow Flats}} and {{wp|Bluefish Caves}} in Canada. These {{wp|Paleo-Indian}} cultures, such as the {{wp|Clovis culture}} in the southern regions, developed agriculture, settlements, and societal structures. Indigenous societies like the {{wp|Algonquian peoples}}, {{wp|Ancestral Puebloans}}, and the {{wp|Iroquois}} formed diverse communities, with estimates of their pre-European population ranging from 200,000 to two million individuals.

European colonization had a significant impact on the Indigenous population, resulting in a decline of forty to eighty percent due to factors like disease, resource conflicts, and displacement. Despite initially peaceful interactions, relations evolved as European powers expanded their territories. Indigenous peoples, including {{wp|First Nations}} and {{wp|Métis}}, played crucial roles in early European settlements, notably during the {{wp|North American fur trade}}, but faced dispossession of their lands through treaties and forced assimilation.
===Grand Divide===
{{main|Grand Divide}}
[[File:Grand_Divide_Incident.jpeg|thumb|right|210px|Sky Wall in Virginia with corpses of Kallath members on the bridge, shortly after Metal Knights' attack in May 2043]]
The Grand Divide was a global event occured in 2038, resulted in drastic geographical, political and societal change as well as the emergence of [[Metal Knights]] and [[Inhumans]] (such as [[Dreads]] and [[Dopers]]). The event was initially trigered by the bombing of {{wp|Antarctica}} by a mysterious group named [[Kallath]] who released the ancient Drakonian artifact, the [[Pillars of Hell]]. The artifact was located beneath the ice sheets of Antarctica, and it was activated by Kallath members to open the gate to their planet. The pillars are capable of creating a wormhole between multiple points, but due to the pillars already tampered by {{wp|Knights of the Round Table}}, it created enormous walls instead.


From the late 18th century, European Canadians implemented assimilation policies, including state-funded {{wp|boarding schools}} and {{wp|healthcare segregation}}. Similar trajectories unfolded in what would become the United States, leading to conflicts, displacement, and land loss for Indigenous populations. However, recent decades have seen reconciliation efforts gain momentum, exemplified by the establishment of the {{wp|Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada}} in 2008. This initiative aims to address past injustices, settle grievances, and tackle systemic issues like the plight of missing and murdered Indigenous women, signaling a commitment to acknowledging and rectifying historical injustices.
===Establishment===
 
===European Colonization===
[[File:Nouvelle-France_map-en.svg|thumb|left|210px|Map of territorial claims in North America by 1750. Possessions of British America (pink), New France (blue), and New Spain (orange)]]
European exploration of North America began with Norse explorer {{wp|Leif Erikson}}'s documented exploration of the east coast of Canada around 1000 AD, where a short-lived Norse encampment was established at {{wp|L'Anse aux Meadows}}. However, further European exploration didn't occur until 1497, when {{wp|John Cabot}} claimed Canada's Atlantic coast for England. French explorer {{wp|Jacques Cartier}} explored the {{wp|Gulf of Saint Lawrence}} in 1534 and established {{wp|New France}}. Throughout the early 16th century, European mariners, influenced by {{wp|Basque}} and {{wp|Portuguese}} navigational techniques, established seasonal whaling and fishing outposts along the Atlantic coast.
 
In 1583, {{wp|Sir Humphrey Gilbert}} founded {{wp|St. John's, Newfoundland}} as the first English seasonal camp in North America. French explorer {{wp|Samuel de Champlain}} established permanent settlements at {{wp|Port Royal, Nova Scotia|Port Royal}} in 1605 and {{wp|Quebec City}} in 1608. This period also saw the emergence of European settlements in the {{wp|Thirteen Colonies}}, beginning with the {{wp|Virginia Colony}} in 1607 and the {{wp|Plymouth Colony}} in 1620.
 
As European settlers expanded into North America, they encountered conflicts with Native Americans, engaged in trade, and established policies aimed at assimilating Native Americans into European lifestyles. The colonies' distance from Europe fostered the development of self-governance, while religious movements like the {{wp|First Great Awakening}} promoted religious liberty. Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, colonial North America saw a series of wars and treaties, ultimately leading to British dominance over much of the continent after the {{wp|Seven Years' War}} in 1763.
 
===American Revolution and British North America===
[[File:Declaration_of_Independence_(1819),_by_John_Trumbull.jpg|thumb|right|210px|A portrait by John Trumbull depicting the Committee of Five presenting the draft of the Declaration to the Continental Congress on June 28, 1776]]
After the {{wp|French and Indian War}}, {{wp|Britain}} tightened its grip on colonial affairs, sparking resistance. Grievances included the denial of colonial rights, prompting the {{wp|First Continental Congress}}' colonial boycott in 1774. The ensuing {{wp|Battles of Lexington and Concord}} in 1775 ignited the {{wp|American Revolutionary War}}. The {{wp|Second Continental Congress}} appointed {{wp|George Washington}} commander-in-chief and drafted the {{wp|Declaration of Independence}} in 1776, embodying values of liberty and sovereignty inspired by ancient and Enlightenment ideals.
 
The {{wp|Royal Proclamation of 1763}} established rights for {{wp|First Nations}} and expanded {{wp|Quebec}}'s territory through the {{wp|Quebec Act}} of 1774, preserving French language and law. However, these measures failed to pacify tensions and fueled anti-British sentiment, contributing to the outbreak of the American Revolution. The war concluded with the 1783 {{wp|Treaty of Paris}}, recognizing the independence of the {{wp|United States}} and triggering a significant out-migration of {{wp|Loyalists}} to Canada, altering demographics significantly.
 
The {{wp|Constitutional Act of 1791}} divided Canada into French-speaking Lower Canada (later Quebec) and English-speaking Upper Canada (later Ontario), setting the stage for political reforms. The {{wp|War of 1812}} saw the Canadas as the main battleground, ending in 1815 with no boundary changes. Immigration surged, shaped by treaties like the {{wp|Oregon Treaty}} in 1846. Meanwhile, the mid-19th century marked territorial expansion, immigration waves, and border negotiations, shaping North America's geopolitical landscape.


===Expansions===

[[File:Laura_Secord_warns_Fitzgibbons,_1813.jpg|thumb|right|210px|Laura Secord warning British commander James FitzGibbon of an impending American attack]]
In the late 18th century, American settlers embraced westward expansion, driven by {{wp|manifest destiny}}. The 1803 {{wp|Louisiana Purchase}} doubled the {{wp|United States}}' territory, while tensions with Britain erupted into the {{wp|War of 1812}}, ending in a stalemate. Spain ceded Florida in 1819, and the {{wp|Missouri Compromise}} of 1820 attempted to address slavery disputes. The federal government's policies of Indian removal or assimilation culminated in the tragic {{wp|Trail of Tears}}. Annexations followed, including the {{wp|Republic of Texas}} in 1845 and the {{wp|Mexican Cession}} after the {{wp|Mexican–American War}} in 1848. The {{wp|California Gold Rush}} of 1848–1849 triggered a migration surge to the Pacific coast, accompanied by conflicts with Native populations.


The {{wp|British North America Act, 1867}} established Canadian Confederation, with initial provinces including Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. Further expansions led to the creation of the {{wp|Northwest Territories}}, {{wp|Manitoba}}, and the inclusion of British Columbia and Prince Edward Island. The late 19th century saw the {{wp|Klondike Gold Rush}} and the creation of the {{wp|Yukon Territory}}. Canada sponsored the construction of railways, regulated settlement through the {{wp|Dominion Lands Act}}, and asserted authority through the {{wp|North-West Mounted Police}}. However, this period also witnessed the displacement of Indigenous peoples and the imposition of the {{wp|Indian Act}}.


===Civil War and Aftermath===
===Climate===
[[File:US_map_1864_Civil_War_divisions.svg|thumb|right|210px|Division during the American Civil War: Union states (blue), Confederate states (red)]]
During the colonial era, slavery persisted in the American colonies, although its moral legitimacy began to be seriously questioned during the {{wp|American Revolution}}. Northern states enacted abolition laws, while the institution of slavery gained momentum in the South, particularly with inventions like the {{wp|cotton gin}}, which increased its profitability for Southern elites. This sectional divide over slavery ultimately erupted into the {{wp|American Civil War}} (1861–1865). Eleven slave states seceded to form the {{wp|Confederate States of America}}, leading to armed conflict after the bombardment of {{wp|Fort Sumter}} in April 1861. The Union's victory, marked by events like the {{wp|Emancipation Proclamation}} and crucial battles such as {{wp|Siege of Vicksburg|Vicksburg}} and {{wp|Battle of Gettysburg|Gettysburg}}, ultimately led to the surrender of the Confederacy in 1865, ushering in the {{wp|Reconstruction era}}.


Following the Civil War, a period of unprecedented immigration occurred from 1865 to 1917, with millions arriving in the United States, primarily from Europe. This influx reshaped the demographic landscape, particularly in urban centers like {{wp|New York City}}, where large Jewish, Irish, Italian, and Central European communities formed. Concurrently, African Americans participated in the {{wp|Great Migration}}, relocating from the rural South to urban areas in the North. The {{wp|Compromise of 1877}} effectively ended Reconstruction, allowing white supremacists to assert control over Southern politics. This period, known as the {{wp|nadir of American race relations}}, witnessed heightened racism and the proliferation of discriminatory laws, upheld by Supreme Court decisions like {{wp|Plessy v. Ferguson}}. Meanwhile, technological advancements and the exploitation of immigrant labor fueled rapid economic growth, positioning the United States as an industrial powerhouse. However, this era also saw rising economic inequality, social unrest, and the emergence of labor unions as advocates for reform, ultimately setting the stage for the {{wp|Progressive Era}}.
[[File:Iditarod_National_Historic_Trail_between_Kaltag_and_Unalakleet.jpg|thumb|left|Subarctic region in Unalakleet, Alaska]]
Climate in Alaska and its surroundings are significantly colder and more variable. The Laurentian Prairies experience a continental climate, characterized by hot summers and cold winters. Average summer temperatures range from 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C), while winter temperatures can drop below freezing, averaging between 5°F and 20°F (-15°C to -6°C). Moving northwest into Alaska, temperatures become even colder, with much of the state experiencing a subarctic or polar climate. Average temperatures in winter can plummet to below -20°F (-29°C) in interior regions, while coastal areas remain milder due to maritime influences.


===Pre-Singularity Era===
Northward from Alaska into the Arctic region of {{wp|North Asia}}, temperatures continue to decrease, with the area experiencing an extreme polar climate. Average temperatures rarely rise above freezing, even in summer, and can drop below -40°F (-40°C) in winter. The Arctic region also sees extended periods of darkness in winter and continuous daylight in summer due to its high latitude. These harsh conditions make the area one of the coldest inhabited regions on Earth, with limited human habitation and sparse vegetation.
[[File:TrinityDetonation1945GIF.gif|left|thumb|200px|The Trinity nuclear test in 1945, part of the Manhattan Project and the first detonation of a nuclear weapon]]
Pro-American elements in {{wp|Hawaii}} orchestrated the monarchy's overthrow, leading to the islands' annexation in 1898. Territories like {{wp|Puerto Rico}}, {{wp|Guam}}, and the {{wp|Philippines}} were acquired after the {{wp|Spanish–American War}}, while {{wp|American Samoa}} was obtained in 1900. The {{wp|U.S. Virgin Islands}} were purchased from {{wp|Denmark}} in 1917. The United States played a significant role in {{wp|World War I}}, aiding the Allies. Domestically, it granted nationwide {{wp|women's suffrage}} in 1920 and enacted transformative {{wp|New Deal}} policies to counter the impacts of the {{wp|Wall Street Crash of 1929}}.
[[File:Canadian_Charter_of_Rights_and_Freedoms_(English).jpg|thumb|right|210px|A copy of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms]]
During {{wp|World War II}}, the U.S. shifted from neutrality to active participation, developing and deploying the first {{wp|nuclear weapons}}. Post-war, it emerged as a global superpower, shaping the Cold War era alongside the {{wp|Soviet Union}}. Domestically, economic growth, urbanization, and social changes occurred, with advances in technology like {{wp|radio}} and {{wp|television}}. The 1990s saw economic expansion and technological advancements but also challenges like the {{wp|September 11 attacks}} and the {{wp|Great Recession}}.


Meanwhile, {{wp|Canada}} transitioned to an independent country in 1982, with a distinct identity marked by bilingualism and multiculturalism. It faced challenges like the Quebec sovereignty movement and crises such as the {{wp|Air India Flight 182 bombing}}. Canada engaged in international conflicts and confronted its colonial past, including the discovery of Indigenous residential school gravesites, prompting efforts toward reconciliation and addressing historical injustices.

===Grand Singularity===
{{main|Grand Singularity}}
The Grand Singularity was a global event occured between 2038-2043, resulted in drastic geographical, political and societal change as well as the emergence of [[Metal Knights]] and [[Inhumans]]. The event was triggered by a sudden, large-scale bombing of {{wp|Antarctica}} by a mysterious group named [[Mahapakh]], later revealed to be the intelligence wing of Drakonite forces, who intended to use an ancient interdimensinoal gate located beneath the ice sheet to invade Earth. The attack caused tsunami across the globe, followed by Drakonite ships coming through the dimensional gate, which then ravaged population centers.


North America was not an exception. In fact, it was the first target of Drakonite attacks. The government of both Canada and United States issued a national emergency and military draft to its citizens. The resistance lasted for almost three years before a joint operation between {{wp|NATO}} and the {{wp|United Nations}} launched [[Operation Gaia]] to push back the Drakonites to their original dimension. The operation included the first-ever deployment of [[Prototype Alpha]], a top-secret {{wp|United Nations}} project that would be the [[Metal Knights]] in the future.
Conservation efforts are currently being conducted in {{wp|Alaska}}, the scope of conservation broadens to encompass vast wilderness areas and iconic wildlife species. Across the prairies, extensive grasslands provide habitat for diverse flora and fauna, including bison, pronghorn antelope, and the endangered {{wp|whooping crane}}. Conservation efforts here are focused on safeguarding these unique habitats, restoring degraded landscapes, and mitigating threats such as habitat fragmentation and climate change. In Alaska, conservation priorities center on safeguarding critical habitat areas, managing human-wildlife interactions, and addressing the impacts of industrial activities and climate change on the region's diverse ecosystems.


Almost ten Medal Knights, along with both the remaining armed forces members from the United States, Canda, {{wp|Mexico}} and {{wp|Brazil}} were tasked to enact the operation in {{wp|The Americas}}. The operation successfully liberated most of the Americas into the Arctic.

The Federation of Amrasia or commonly known as Amrasia, is a transcontinental country primarily located in North America and North Asia. It is a federation of 10 states, a federal capital district (Anchorage) and 12 indigenous reservations. Amrasia is curently the northernmost country on Earth, bordering the Arctic Sea directly and spanning across the Bering strait. It is bordered by Acadia to the east, both Nivesia and Cascadea to the south.

Etymology

The name "Amrasia" is a combination from the name of the two continents where Amrasia is located in: Americas and Asia.

America itself is derived from the Latinized version of the name of Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci, who proposed that the lands discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492 constituted a distinct continent. The map "Universalis Cosmographia," published in 1507 by German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller, prominently featured the label "America" for what is now South America. Flemish cartographer Gerardus Mercator later applied the term "America" to the entire Western Hemisphere on his world map in 1538.

Meanwhile, the term "Asia" finds its roots in the Ancient Greek word Ἀσία, as documented by Herodotus around 440 BCE, initially used to denote Anatolia or the Persian Empire, distinct from Greece and Egypt. Originally, it referred solely to the eastern shore of the Aegean Sea, known to the Hittites as Assuwa.

In its native name, Amrasia is known as Qaumasiarmajaaq which means "two white lands".

History

Indigenous peoples

The earliest inhabitants of North America migrated from Siberia through the Bering land bridge over 14,000 years ago, establishing settlements like Old Crow Flats and Bluefish Caves in Canada. These Paleo-Indian cultures, such as the Clovis culture in the southern regions, developed agriculture, settlements, and societal structures. Indigenous societies like the Algonquian peoples, Ancestral Puebloans, and the Iroquois formed diverse communities, with estimates of their pre-European population ranging from 200,000 to two million individuals.

Grand Divide

The Grand Divide was a global event occured in 2038, resulted in drastic geographical, political and societal change as well as the emergence of Metal Knights and Inhumans (such as Dreads and Dopers). The event was initially trigered by the bombing of Antarctica by a mysterious group named Kallath who released the ancient Drakonian artifact, the Pillars of Hell. The artifact was located beneath the ice sheets of Antarctica, and it was activated by Kallath members to open the gate to their planet. The pillars are capable of creating a wormhole between multiple points, but due to the pillars already tampered by Knights of the Round Table, it created enormous walls instead.

Climate

Subarctic region in Unalakleet, Alaska

Climate in Alaska and its surroundings are significantly colder and more variable. The Laurentian Prairies experience a continental climate, characterized by hot summers and cold winters. Average summer temperatures range from 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C), while winter temperatures can drop below freezing, averaging between 5°F and 20°F (-15°C to -6°C). Moving northwest into Alaska, temperatures become even colder, with much of the state experiencing a subarctic or polar climate. Average temperatures in winter can plummet to below -20°F (-29°C) in interior regions, while coastal areas remain milder due to maritime influences.

Northward from Alaska into the Arctic region of North Asia, temperatures continue to decrease, with the area experiencing an extreme polar climate. Average temperatures rarely rise above freezing, even in summer, and can drop below -40°F (-40°C) in winter. The Arctic region also sees extended periods of darkness in winter and continuous daylight in summer due to its high latitude. These harsh conditions make the area one of the coldest inhabited regions on Earth, with limited human habitation and sparse vegetation.

Biodiversity and Conservation

Conservation efforts are currently being conducted in Alaska, the scope of conservation broadens to encompass vast wilderness areas and iconic wildlife species. Across the prairies, extensive grasslands provide habitat for diverse flora and fauna, including bison, pronghorn antelope, and the endangered whooping crane. Conservation efforts here are focused on safeguarding these unique habitats, restoring degraded landscapes, and mitigating threats such as habitat fragmentation and climate change. In Alaska, conservation priorities center on safeguarding critical habitat areas, managing human-wildlife interactions, and addressing the impacts of industrial activities and climate change on the region's diverse ecosystems.
