=History= | |||
==Pre-Colonization== | |||
The region that constitutes present-day New Wolvers has a rich and complex history dating back to the 1st century AD. Initially, it was settled by tribes associated with the now-extinct [[Thilicina tribe]] of the [[Killingfer Island Native|Killingferi natives]]. However, these early settlements were eventually abandoned for reasons that remain unknown, possibly due to a variant of malaria prevalent in the area. | |||
Over the course of approximately 500 years, various tribes made attempts to establish settlements in the region. The Killingferi native islanders, in particular, resettled the area around 200 AD but eventually abandoned the mainland once again. Apart from the Killingferi natives, there were reports of other tribes inhabiting the mainland according to accounts from the Killingferi. Unfortunately, no evidence of these tribes has been found, leaving behind a lingering mystery that persists to this day. | |||
The history of New Wolvers is marked by successive waves of settlement and abandonment, with different tribes and peoples making their mark on the land. The exact reasons for the repeated abandonment of settlements and the disappearance of certain tribes remain elusive, adding to the intrigue and fascination surrounding the region's past. | |||
Though the specific details may be shrouded in uncertainty, the historical legacy of these early settlements and the mysterious tribes that once inhabited the land continue to captivate researchers and fuel ongoing investigations into the enigmatic history of New Wolvers. | |||
==Discovery and Settlement== | |||
The discovery of the land that would later be known as [[Champion Bay]] took place around 1535 when Venetian explorers reported sightings of a patch of land characterized by green pastures and a lack of settlements, except for a few abandoned houses. Initial explorations were deemed futile due to the absence of inhabitants. However, journals described the land and the bay's waters as "ideal for seeking shelter during heavy storms." | |||
In 1548, following an unsuccessful campaign to expand its territory in mainland Europe, [[Karel VI the Landlocked]], the king of the [[Kingdom of Vlkania]], dispatched explorers [[Artur Barta]] and [[Colombo De Felici]] to the described bay. Their mission was to establish a new overseas territory for the kingdom, as treaties with the surrounding [[Holy Roman Empire]] prevented expansion within Europe without consequences. | |||
In 1549, with the passing of Karel the Landlocked and the ascension of [[Charles VII of Gothemburg]] to power, the two explorers set sail from the leased territory of [[Rab]] with a fleet of five ships. The vessels carried a diverse group of British, Scottish, Bohemian, and Italian explorers and shipworkers, all seeking to settle in the newly discovered land of Champion Bay. | |||
Arriving 67 days later, docking the five ships proved to be a formidable challenge. A thunderstorm, triggered by a hurricane, threatened the explorers on their way to the bay. Despite the ordeal, they managed to successfully dock, although one of the five ships suffered severe damage and was left to decay on Champion Beach. | |||
Upon their arrival, the two explorers established [[Thirteen Colonies of Nova Vlkania|thirteen different camps]] to accommodate the unfortunate individuals from the Veneta ship and others who wished to reside in the newly discovered land. This marked the beginning of colonization in the abandoned territory. | |||
Three years into the colonization efforts, with the recognition of the Thirteen Colonies as Nova Vlkania's overseas territories, King Charles VII made a proclamation. He declared that only one of the two explorers, who were previously co-governors, could assume leadership of the newly formed overseas territory. The king cited financial constraints as the reason behind the decision, as he could not sustain two governors for a minimum of ten years. | |||
This pivotal event shaped the early history of the Champion Bay region and laid the foundation for the establishment of Nova Vlkania's presence in the overseas territory. The trials and triumphs faced by the explorers and colonizers would continue to shape the destiny of this newfound land in the years to come. | |||
==Civil War and Exile of De Felici== | |||
Colombo De Felici and Artur Barta, upon their return to the oversea territory, found themselves engaged in a physical altercation as they vied for control of the colony. This altercation would ultimately escalate into a full-fledged [[Disorders of Nova Vlkania (1552)|civil war]] between the supporters of Artur Barta and those of Colombo De Felici. After six days of intense conflict, Artur Barta emerged victorious, securing his position as the governor of the oversea territory. | |||
Following the conclusion of the civil war, Colombo De Felici faced exile at the hands of Artur Barta. He was accused of mutiny and treason, with evidence presented in the form of a journal documenting De Felici's plans to establish an independent kingdom. Consequently, De Felici was banished from the territory. | |||
In the aftermath of his exile, a significant portion of the population that had supported Colombo De Felici's bid for governance chose to follow him. They ventured far northeast, eventually establishing a new settlement known as the [[Independent kingdom of Iugone]] in the vicinity of [[Mount Celauria]]. Over the course of three years, they further settled in the [[Leonardian plains]], ultimately founding the settlement of San Leonardo, also referred to as [[Porta Leonardina]]. | |||
==Aftermath and expansion== | |||
After the conclusion of the civil war and the successful appointment of Artur Barta as the governor of the oversea territory, he set out to further explore the vast and uncharted lands. With the support of the people in the thirteen colonies, Barta organized an expedition group comprised of skilled explorers. This group ventured into unexplored territories, uncovering new areas ripe for settlement and development. These expeditions played a crucial role in expanding the reach of the State of New Wolvers. | |||
Similar to the American settlers, the exploration troops consisted of individuals sponsored by various companies. These sponsors recognized the potential for growth and economic opportunities in the untapped regions of the territory. Their support allowed for the establishment of new settlements and the gradual expansion of the State of New Wolvers. | |||
As time went on, a diverse range of ethnic groups arrived in the oversea territory of Nova Vlkania. They brought with them their unique cultures, traditions, and skills. The economy of the region began to thrive, with a focus on agricultural practices and the export of cloth. The fertile lands of the territory proved ideal for cultivating crops and raising livestock. | |||
Additionally, hunting and cattle breeding became integral components of the economy, providing sustenance and resources for the growing population. The abundance of wildlife in the region offered opportunities for hunting, while cattle breeding ensured a steady supply of food. These economic activities contributed to the overall prosperity and self-sufficiency of the State of New Wolvers. | |||
The arrival of different ethnic groups, coupled with the diverse economic pursuits, created a vibrant and dynamic society within the territory. The fusion of cultures and the development of key industries laid the foundation for the future growth and prosperity of the State of New Wolvers. | |||
=Fall of the Kingdom of Vlkania and Independence= | |||
In 1649, a growing discontent among the inhabitants of Nova Vlkania was fueled by a series of unfavorable political decisions made by the mainland kingdom. The imposition of taxes on Neovlkanian pelts and fur, coupled with burdensome taxes on house ownership, left the people feeling oppressed. To make matters worse, their pleas for assistance during a famine went unanswered. These grievances ignited an anti-mainland sentiment that continued to gain momentum, attracting even the support of relatives of the ruling king, [[Jakub I of Vlkania]]. The people demanded greater representation within the kingdom or the freedom to establish their own independent country. | |||
As the movement gained traction, it grew in strength and fervor with each passing month. Finally, on January 6th, 1651, news broke that the Kingdom of Vlkania had ceased to exist and had been incorporated into the Holy Roman Empire. This development further fueled the aspirations of the Nova Vlkanian people to chart their own course. | |||
Following the political shift, [[James of Camponia]] emerged as the king of the newly renamed territory, New Wolvers. The name change was inspired by the results of the latest census, which revealed a majority of British descent among the inhabitants. With the ascension of King James, a new era began for the people of New Wolvers, marked by their newfound autonomy and determination to shape their own destiny. | |||
However, the reign of King James was short-lived, as he passed away just three months later. His daughter, [[Veronika of Camponia]], along with her husband [[Jan Blaha of Nova Ferenc]], assumed the throne. | |||
Together, they took on the responsibility of leading New Wolvers and guiding it through the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead. The transition of power brought a sense of continuity and stability to the young nation, ensuring a smooth succession and the continuation of its quest for independence and self-determination. | |||
==Dissolution of the Kingdom and Establishment of the Republic of New Wolvers== | |||
The kingdom rose of importance because of their copper and gold exports, and some new forms of industry forming in the country rising as well. | |||
However, with the ever-growing richness of the nobility of New Wolvers, and the growth of disparity among the classes, the Neo Wolverian average society felt that having one ruler commanding everything in the kingdom was a danger to the peace and stability of the kingdom, and this feeling was amplified when in 1738 [[Colin I the Madman]] rose to power as a king following the death of his father, [[Marek IV the Divided]]. | |||
The middle-class of New Wolvers would initially ask for the king to estabilish a constitutional monarchy, encountering hostility in the nobility initially, but with the nobility supporting the middle-class into turning the absolute kingdom into a constitutional monarchy. Encountering hostility with the king, however, the middle-class and the nobility overthrew Colin I the Madman, and a [[Provisional Republic of New Wolvers|provisional republic]] commandeered by Captain [[Falco Carson]] was established, with the promise of establishing a constitution within three months since the creation of the provisional republic. | |||
On date February 4th, 1742, the first constitution of the '''Republic of New Wolvers''' was written, and [[Luca Salimbeni]] was elected as the president of the newly created republic. | |||
==Annexation of New Veronika and formation of the Federation of New Wolvers-Nova Veronika== | |||
The Federation of New Wolvers-Nova Veronika emerged thirty years after the establishment of the Republic of New Wolvers. This momentous event marked a significant territorial expansion and political transformation in the region, catalyzed by the request of the Territories of Nova Veronika to be annexed to the Republic. | |||
=== Background === | |||
The Territories of Nova Veronika had a unique historical context, stemming from the aftermath of the civil war of 1552 that led to its separation from the Kingdom of New Wolvers. The second-generation Neovlkanians residing in Nova Veronika expressed their desire to rejoin the Republic under certain conditions. | |||
Their proposal aimed to establish Nova Veronika as an autonomous state within the Republic of New Wolvers, thereby granting the Republic greater access to the sea and an expanded territory for settlement, including new farmlands and hunting grounds for the growing werewolf population that had made the territory their home. | |||
=== The Nova Veronikagrad Agreements === | |||
On May 5th, 1772, the pivotal Nova Veronikagrad agreements were reached, leading to the dissolution of the Republic of New Wolvers and the birth of the Federation of New Wolvers-Nova Veronika. | |||
The proposal of a federation between the two republics was harbored by the president of the Republic of New Veronika [[Pavel Kafka]], after various meetings with the President of the Republic of New Wolvers [[Smith Coulson]]. | |||
This new federation marked a remarkable fusion of two distinct regions under a unified governance structure. The Territories of Nova Veronika officially became an integral part of the Republic, retaining their unique identity as an autonomous state within the larger federation. | |||
As a symbolic gesture of unity, Smith Coulson was appointed as the inaugural president of the Federation. His leadership symbolized continuity and served as a bridge between the two regions that had come together to form the federation. | |||
=== Tragedy Strikes: The Hurricane of Berta === | |||
Merely a month after the formation of the Federation, a devastating hurricane struck the region, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The original capital city, [[Camponia]], bore the brunt of the calamity, resulting in a tragic loss of 741 lives. Among the victims was the wife of President Coulson, [[Maria Berta]], whose untimely demise deeply affected the administration and the government. | |||
In the aftermath of the catastrophe, the decision was made to relocate the capital to the city of [[Berta (Territory)|Juvens]]. To honor the memory of President Coulson's beloved wife, the city of Juvens was renamed Berta, forever etching her name in remembrance of the tragic loss. | |||
=== Rebuilding and Renewed Resolve === | |||
The hurricane of Berta dealt a severe blow to the fledgling Federation, yet it also demonstrated the resilience and unity of its people. Despite the devastating impact, the Federation remained steadfast in its commitment to rebuild and emerge stronger than ever. | |||
Under the leadership of President Coulson, the Federation embarked on a comprehensive reconstruction effort to restore the affected areas and provide support to the victims and their families. The tragedy served as a catalyst for renewed determination and solidarity among the people of the Federation, further strengthening the bonds between the once-separate territories. | |||
==The Heavy Famine of 1790 and the Italic Republic of Iugone== | |||
The year 1790 brought forth a devastating famine that swept across the Federation of New Wolvers-Nova Veronika and its neighboring countries, leaving destruction and suffering in its wake. The catastrophe was triggered by a combination of a severe drought and the widespread death of cattle and fauna, severely impacting agricultural productivity and the availability of food and water. | |||
Despite the dire circumstances, the Federation demonstrated remarkable resilience and determination. Implementing stringent rationing measures, the Federation managed to weather the crisis, conserving essential resources until the arrival of winter. With the return of water availability, agriculture and cattle breeding were able to recover, heralding a glimmer of hope for the beleaguered nation. | |||
However, while the Federation stood strong in the face of adversity, the neighbouring [[Italic Republic of Iugone]] found itself on the brink of socio-economic collapse. Ravaged by forest fires in the Celaurian Mountains, the republic suffered the destruction of its meticulously cultivated harvest over the past decade and significant losses of timber, the main export of the republic. | |||
The president of the Italic Republic, [[Mariangelo Carlo De Felici]], a direct descendant of Colombo De Felici, the historical figure instrumental in the republic's foundation, found himself facing an overwhelming crisis. Desperate for assistance and humanitarian aid, President De Felici reached out to neighboring countries for support, with the plea for survival echoing across the region. | |||
In a heartwarming display of unity and compassion, the Federation of New Wolvers-Nova Veronika responded to the call for help, extending a helping hand to its struggling neighbor. Providing crucial supplies of food, water, and essential raw materials, the Federation's generosity breathed new life into the Italic Republic, offering hope and sustenance during these dire times. | |||
Touched by the profound gesture of solidarity, the people of the Italic Republic found renewed admiration for the neighbouring Federation. In the spirit of cooperation and a growing sentiment of unity, they implored President De Felici to hold a referendum on whether the Italic Republic should join the Federation of New Wolvers-Nova Veronika as an official state. The Italic Republic's population expressed their dissatisfaction with their own administration's handling of the crisis and their desire for a brighter future within the Federation. | |||
Answering the call of the people, President De Felici agreed to hold the momentous referendum, setting the date on August 8th, 1791. When the day arrived, an overwhelming 69.21% of the population voted in favor of becoming part of New Wolvers, thereby initiating the formal procedure to integrate the Italic Republic into the Federation. | |||
Two years later, on August 8th, 1793, the Italic Republic of Iugone officially became an integral part of the Federation of New Wolvers-Nova Veronika. The momentous occasion heralded a new chapter in the nation's history, with the Federation undergoing a significant name change to reflect its expanded boundaries and unified identity as the Federal Republic of New Wolvers. | |||
==The 19th century== | |||
The start of the year 1800 was intense, with new technologies being invented and the economic of the Federal Republic booming, New Wolvers became a major country in the world order, and a pinnacle example of pacifism. | |||
In 1814 the [[Pyre State (New Wolvers)|Great Duchy of Pyre]] was facing a social dilemma and closely facing a civil war to choose as the new Dute, as [[Duke Carlos XXI de Fuego]] died without generating heirs to succeed him due to a sudden heart attack. | |||
The Prime Minister of the country, [[Marcos Vidal-Alvarez]], proposed to the Fuegan parliament to join the Federal Republic of New Wolvers as the third way, as a civil war would mean a national disaster for everyone. | |||
After a vote of 42 yes, 20 no and 3 abstained, the Prime Minister sent a request to the federation, and waited an answer. | |||
President [[Alessia Vitali]] of the Federal Republic of New Wolvers willingly accepted the Duchy as part of New Wolvers, and in 1816 the Duchy ceased to exist to become the '''Duchy-State of Pyre'''. | |||
With the joining of the Duchy-State of Pyre, the Conservative Party of New Wolvers felt that accepting new members would hinder the equilibrium of the nation, and [[Sir Giovanni de Maghi]], the leader of the Conservative Party, was strongly against the Duchy of Pyre to be part of New Wolvers, and resigned from the position of leader after the entry of Pyre as a state, leaving a political vacuum in the process. | |||
In 1863 the [[Floods of Porta Leonardina]] and the late answer of the Federal Republic due to the would ailment an anti-neowolverian sentiment by the people of Mount Celauria, with the [[Disorders of 1868]] culminating in a riot supported by the governor of Yugo State [[Vittorino Valentini]] in order to become independent again. | |||
Such disorders however ceased when the Federal government gave huge tax breaks and help to the state, along with formal apologies of the president [[Jules Leclerc]] about the late answer by the Federal Government. | |||
==The 20th Century and the World Wars== | |||
At the start of the 20th century, in 1902, the [[Hale's Autonomous Republic|Colony of Killingfer]], a territory of the British Empire, requested to join the Federal Republic as a state in order to prevent losses from an upcoming war the British Empire was ready to fight. | |||
Talks between the British Empire and the Federal Republic started in May 8th, 1900, and concluded with the [[Aternian Accord]] in the [[Co-Principate of Aterno]], where the Federal Republic would pay the British Empire a sum of money equivalent to the land of the Killingfer island. | |||
In 1902, the newly-born '''Republic of Killinger''' became first a protectorate of the Neo Wolverian federation, then a fully-fledged autonomous republic. New Wolvers then became the '''Federal Republic States of New Wolvers''' upon the entrance of the Killingfer Autonomous Republic in the Neo Wolverian legislature. | |||
When the first World War started, New Wolvers automatically declared itself a neutral country, claiming that the matters of the old continent had nothing to do with the Federal Republic States. The [[Yugonese Representation Party]] however pressured for New Wolvers to join the British alliance, meeting total failure to do so when the "War Act" was rejected by the [[Clara De Belli|President]] and the majority of the senate. | |||
This rejection would only fuel the anti-neo wolverian ideology in the state of Yugo, to the point where in 1921 the YGP, along with the [[Partito Fascista Iugonese]] would win the majority of the state's seat, and plot to institute an empire instead of a Federal Republic. | |||
In 1928, the [[Scare of Fuego]] would happen, and the coup by the YGP and the PFI would fail greatly, with the leader of the PFI, [[Dario Artiglieri]], being killed by a discharged firegun. The scare would then be the reason of the dissolution of the Yugonese Representation Party and the Yugonese Fascist Party, and a ban on fascist ideology was taken in place. | |||
The period between 1928-1940 would be crucial for New Wolvers, as the entire world was on the brink of another war, and any wrong political choice would mean that New Wolvers would be involved in a conflict. | |||
Upon the death of [[Sir Barnabas Hale]] in 1935, the Autonomous Republic of Killingfer changed its name to the Autonomous Republic of Hale, in honor of Sir Barnabas Hale himself, being the first to request the british empire to let go and start the Aternian Accord. | |||
===The Red Summer of 1940=== | |||
{{Main|Neo Wolverian Red Summer}} | |||
On June 1st, 1940, in a year where the Second World War was going on, the [[Neo Wolverian Communist Party]] organized a violent coup, executing the president in charge [[Marek Blaha]] under accusations of "dissatisfaction and inability by the Neo Wolverian government to free the workers and seize the means of production". | |||
The Neo Wolverian Communist Party would take charge of the parliament and place [[Berta Capital City]] in lockdown. The leader of the NWCP, [[Igor Vinky]], would become the President of the self-proclaimed [[Soviet Federal Republic States of New Wolvers]]. | |||
The SFRSNW would however last for three months, after the [[Siege of Berta Capital City]] would occur by the hands of the [[Federal Carbineer Trooper|Carbineers of Internal Protection]] in order to reinstate the legitimate government of New Wolvers, with then-vice president [[Johann "Kai" Lombardi|Kai Lombo]] becoming president of the Federal Republic States. | |||
==The 1950s and Present Day== | |||
The period between 1943 and 1955 is known as the "Newcoming" by many Neo Wolverians due to the influx of refugees from various war-torn countries, like the German population who inhabited Konigsberg, or Hungarian refugees who escaped the communist regime, Czechs and Slovaks escaping both the Nazi and the Communist regimes and various deserters from various armies. Some Neo Wolverian however decided to settle in the much richer Principality of Aterno as they were desperate to find a job, bringing with them the Neo Wolverian Culture | |||
Between the years 1958-1981, the Federal Republic States invested in technology and infrastructures a lot, to the point where it risked going bankrupt in 1960. | |||
Around 1964, major manufacturing companies, software house, and computer manufacturers established in the territory, aided by the funds of the Federal Republic States. | |||
Such companies allowed economic growth and a growth of living age exponentially, the various species inhabiting the territory to enjoy benefits previously not available. | |||
In 1979, a big bauxite field was discovered in the northeastern part of the state of New Veronika, thus the nation started to export bauxite, useful for aluminum manufacturing. | |||
One special company, the Omnes Robotics, became essential in the Neo Wolverian society, as its software were the most advanced in the world to the point wherein 1987 the first AI citizen, [[Paul Jacobson Omnes]], gained sentience, thus paving the way to AI citizenship in 1991 after a three-year-long test took place to confirm the sentience. | |||
In 2010, the nation reached prosperity and the economy became the largest in the continent, and an influx of people from other countries in both the European Union and the Universal Pact opened another, the ongoing era called "The Ultimate Era", as the nation was going to expect more economic growth and political stability. | |||
Around Christmas 2019, the Federal republic States, along with the entire world, was contacted on behalf of a Galactic Police Force to host various refugees from various planets of the Milky Way, thus starting another period for the entire world. Various, previously unseen species of creatures are now seen roaming the Federal Republic States, even though around 700 individuals from the various planets became citizens. | |||
=Geography= | |||
The Federal Republic States of New Wolvers shares borders with [[Daunlaund]], sharing borders with the provinces of Daunlaund, Ferus, Derose and Esztluew by North, with Erskiellander by northeast, with the [[Aterno]] by east (surrounding the exclave region of [[Veronikagrad (region)|Veronikagrad]] of the state of New Veronika) and by the [[Hale Sea]] by the west. | |||
Being a mixture of hills, mountains, and plains, the nation has a diverse climate that can be equiparated to the Mediterranean climate of Italy and the climate of Middle Europe, with hot summers and cold winters. | |||
During winter however, it is not uncommon to find blizzards in the northern part of the nation, including the isle of Killingfer. | |||
The highest point of the Federal Republic States is 2366 metres, which is the height of the peak of Mount Celauria, in the region of Celauria, Yugo State. | |||
The state of Pyre is considered the most mountainous state, with very few plains and relying mostly on tourism. In the State of Pyre it is found the Fuegan river, which delivers water to the nearest Lake of Fuego, in the Co-Principate of Aterno. | |||
The lowest point however is reached by the Tundry Atoll, an oversea territory used for underwater and academical studies. The oversea territories, found in the very south of the Utopian continents, is not inhabited for most of the year, with the only visitors being tourists and scientists. | |||
The nation also offers coasts where both inhabitants and tourists go visit during vacations, as well as beaches of various types in the south of the country, with the Champion Call region being the most frequented beach in New Wolvers. | |||
=Demographics= | |||
==Population== | |||
The 87% of the population of New Wolvers does consider themselves a native Neo Wolverian, with the rest 23% being a mix of other countries, most of which are Italy, Czechia, Prussia, Great Britain, Hungary, Daunland, and Aterno. | |||
Around a 1% claim to be a native of the Island of Killingfer, despite recent studies came to conclusion that the last natives of the Island of Killingfer died in 1901, effectively making the natives of the island extinct. | |||
While the statistics declare that around 20 percent of the people living in the territory are werewolves, it is not a governmental requirement to declare one's race or if they have shapeshifting abilities to the authorities. | |||
==Language== | |||
The languages used in the Federal Republic States of New Wolvers are mainly English, Czech, Italian, and Spanish. | |||
Other minority languages reported are German, Hungarian, Slovakian, Sammarinese Italian, Chinese, Aternian, and Japanese. | |||
The State of New Wolvers, despite using English as a standard language since 1710, still maintains Czech influences and ways of speaking, as well as the bordering communities, do speak a mixture of English and Czech called '''Farkasian''' | |||
==Species== | |||
The Federal Republic States of New Wolvers is composed of various species from all over the universe. | |||
Here listed is information about the most prominent types of citizens by scientific nomenclature. | |||
Note that those are the given censorial majority of the inhabiting population of the nation, and might not include every species. | |||
===Homo Sapiens sapiens=== | |||
Humans are the "majority" of the population that composes the nation of New Wolvers. They are part of the subtribe Hominina. They are characterized by erect posture and bipedal locomotion; high manual dexterity and heavy tool use compared to other animals; open-ended and complex language use compared to other animal communications; and a general trend toward larger, more complex brains and societies. | |||
===Canis Lupus hominosapiens=== | |||
The '''werewolves''', also known as '''lycanthropes''' or '''Garou''', are an evolution of the Canis Lupus subspecies. | |||
Being what the majority of the scientist think to be the missing link between humans and canines, those people are portrayed a lot in lots of different cultures as beasts who want to kill humanity, even if reality is extremely different and in some cultures, they are portrayed as good people. | |||
Being an inspiration for the popular tabletop Roleplay Game Werewolf: The Apocalypse by World of Darkness, the werewolves are known to shapeshift at their own will between their various forms and their innate strength, considered three times more than a normal human. Unlike what folklore and popular indicate, werewolves are immune to silver, and instead, revere it as the "Moon Metal" and the "Sacred Blood of Gaia", which under the shared culture of the Werewolf Nations, is considered the goddess of the werewolves. | |||
Werewolves in the Neo Wolverian society are usually seen as a strong species, usually being employed for heavy duty jobs or high risk jobs, even though is not unusual at all to see werewolves being employed as doctors, teachers, scientists, caretakers and so on. | |||
While not strictly necessary, werewolves are usually considered to be part of either a clan or one of the thirteen Werewolf Nations, with each nation having their own language, cultures, customs and duties. | |||
Every night of a full moon, or during emergencies, the Gaian Council is established in order to solve any issue, dispute, update or anything that any Werewolf Nation might endure. | |||
Unlike humans, werewolves do live slightly longer, with documents stating that the oldest werewolf that has ever lived in the nation died at age 322. | |||
===Homo Sapiens chiropteris=== | |||
Being what the common citizen call '''Vampires''' or '''Chiros''', those people are also inhabitants of New Wolvers, rumored to be originary of Transylvanian colonizers. | |||
Usually, the vampires do not feed exclusively on blood and do not melt (or sparkle) when exposed during the day, even though they are definitely weaker under the sunlight or under exposure of heavier lights. | |||
What distinguishes a human or a werewolf from a vampire is that vampires are usually paler than the average person and sport big teeth while grinning, along with having limited strength, surpassing that of a human but to be weaker than a werewolf. | |||
Along with these characteristics, vampires are known to be the longest living species of all time, being however decimated by viruses and coronaviruses that do hit bats and bat-adjacent creatures at around age 130. | |||
Being more active during the night, vampires are usually seen, along with werewolves, being in pair and congregating in darker places, as well as in nightclubs, discos, graveyards and so on, usually being nicknamed the "Graveyarders" for their paler skins and their prominence in working during the night. | |||
Usually, Vampire citizens do get employed as night-shift employers such as security guards or hospital clerks. | |||
===Machina Robotis omnes=== | |||
Despite the name suggests they are a species, the OmniRobots by Omnes Robotics™, those people, simply known as robots by the common people, are AIs that have developed a conscience and acquired rights since the early 80s, with the first OmniRobot 3500 robot being recognized as the first AI citizen in the whole Utopian continent under the name Paul Omnes. They are commonly spotted being clerks, police officers, firefighters, or heavy-duty workers alongside werewolves, being safe for them to mine, and cut trees without getting intoxicated or damaged. For the Machina Robotis omnes, their body is just a shell, as their AI stored inside their hard drive. | |||
AI citizens are known to have a territory of their own in New Wolvers State, Hacker City, which has been deemed to be the hotspot for the majority of AI-based citizens. | |||
===Other species=== | |||
Other than these cataloged species, other species include Ailuranthropes (Felis Acinonyx hominins), and other various therianthropes. | |||
It is noted that to become a citizen of New Wolvers, it is not needed to be humanoid-looking, but sentience is enough. | |||
=Government= | |||
The form of government of a Semi-Presidential government, in which a president exists alongside a prime minister and a cabinet, with the latter being responsible for the legislature of a state which, in turn, the president can approve or deny a law. If a law has been denied by the president, the law has to be redone, and when presented, the president has to sign the law. | |||
On top of that, the president has the power to suggest a law or a policy if a majority is met, which allows the president to create a law that will be examined by the constitutional court shall it be deemed undemocratic. | |||
The President gets elected every 7 years, where new Presidential Elections will be held after the ending of the term, which can be extended three times consecutively. | |||
Despite the name of the chambers suggesting is a monarchy, the names were kept for the sakes of historical reminiscences. | |||
The various branches of the government, the executive, the press, and the judiciary, are all appointed by the nation's cabinet after the elections of the various parties, with the president having to confirm or deny any appointing. | |||
==Constituent States and Werewolf Nations== | |||
Every state of New Wolvers is governed by a '''Subpresident''', which is elected every three years in democratic elections. Every state has its own government and its autonomy, but not to a degree to enact laws that do interfere in economics ongoing or on budget expenses about healthcare. | |||
The '''Autonomous Republic of Hale''', however, is governed by a [[Governorate]], which is elected every four years and consists in three Governors, overseen by the [[Supreme Governor]] and the President of the Federal Republic States, and has a higher degree of autonomy regarding enactments of laws and customs, but not to the point to block access to other Neo Wolverian Citizens, except for valid reasons. | |||
The '''Werewolf Nations''' instead, while being recognized as nations and assigned territories, are most representative of the werewolf population inhabiting the Federal Republic States, and while having degrees of autonomy to the point that they can set up their own internal currency and their postal service, they are still recognized as part of one or multiple states, as both the state and the Werewolf Nation can co-exist. There is no requirement to be a citizen of a Werewolf Nation, as it is not mandatory to be a werewolf to be part of the nation. Moreover, towns, cities, and rural villages have the option to be part or opt out of a Werewolf Nation by popular referenda. | |||
The leaders of the Werewolf Nations are, usually, chosen democratically, even though there have been cases where democracy would not work out. Nonetheless, every day of a full moon, the representatives of the Werewolf Nations must be present at the [[Gaian Council]] to discuss any issue between the territories, territory exchange, enactment of new laws other political squabbles. However, a Gaian Council can be summoned in extreme emergencies when the full moon is not up, provided the matter of urgency is greater to invoke a Gaian Council. | |||
Unlike the States and the Autonomous Republic, the Werewolf Nations each do have a different type of government and election, some of them holding a kingdom-like way of succession, while others do rely on democratic votes casted by the citizens. | |||
==Foreign Relations and Military== | |||
The nation pursues a doctrine of neutrality in terms of conflict, claiming the country was founded on the basis of pacific convivence and freedom. | |||
Despite that, the nation has its own [[Armed Forces of the Federal Republic States of New Wolvers|army]], which acts as a peacekeeping force for the nation, abiding into roles of border protection, territorial safety, rescue mission, international peacekeeping, humanitarian crisis solving and so on. | |||
Known as the "Liberty Wolves" after freeing Berta Capital City from the insurgent communists during the Red Summer of 1940. | |||
Each regiment is differently armed based on the role they cover and the regiment they are in, with weaponry that ranges from small guns to bigger guns to experimental weaponry and portable chainguns. | |||
Each regiment also has a different training method, each with an assigned Drill Sergeant, and each being trained with a different approach based on the role they keep. For example, the 76th Yugean Protection Regiment would not be able to defeat the 32nd "Robotic Boogaloo" Defensive-Offensive Regiment as they are trained and equipped differently, with the former covering representation and overall defensive role in the nation and the latter being an experimental and a last resort regiment composed of very strong-willed people and creatures from other regiments. | |||
Is important to note that while every regiment has their own Drill Instructor, every recruit goes to general training by an UnderDrill Instructor, and are all assigned in a special regiment that is not used during combat. | |||
=Economy= | |||
New Wolvers operates under a system of free-market capitalism. | |||
The private sector is estimated to constitute around 86% of the economy, with federal, regional, and local government accounting 14%. Unemployment is 8%, but it does not inflict upon the quality of life as the constitution grants any help for a dignified life to any citizen. | |||
New Wolvers is a big exporter of bauxite, computer parts, experimental equipment, alcoholic drinks, software and consumable goods. The EURONAT, formerly known as the European Union, and the Universal Pact are the two major trading partners of the country, having treaties and membership to both. | |||
Information Technology is the largest sector of the country, along with mining, manufacturing, livestock, and gambling. Agriculture and automotive are other important drivers of the Neo Wolverian economy, despite not being a nation famous for its car brands. | |||
=Culture= | |||
Being a former European colony, and having an open borders policy, New Wolvers is considered a western country, which derived from European cultural costumes and uses. | |||
In the nation, there are Czech, Italian and British minorities alongside Latino minorities. New Wolvers is considered a melting pot nation where several cultures join into one, creating an identity of its own akin to a European Union. | |||
Various language differences with the main European ones are evident, with each of the languages spoken in the nation having influences from the other languages. It is not uncommon to see these languages mixed in a creole-like language. | |||
Neo Wolverian people have been described as inventive, intelligent, competitive, and hardworking. This has resulted in great economic productivity as well as an enhancement of everyday life, granting to the nation a decent government. It also makes a great spot for economical migration, as the nation is in both the Schengen treaty and the Universal Pact Freedom of Movement Treaty. The Neo Wolverian society also cares a lot about personal freedom and gender equality. | |||
==Literature== | |||
The average Neo Wolverian has a fondness for culture, and loves reading. Around 98.9% of the population is able to read. | |||
As the country is quadrilingual officially, various European authors influenced the Neo Wolverian literature, with influence mostly around british and Italian literature, even though Czech and Spanish literature was not ignored. | |||
A notable author is [[Lorenzo Speciali di Milanova]] (1910-1996), author of [[The Chastity of the Dog]], an autobiography that tells in multiple point of views the average life of the 20th Century and how the Neo Wolverian Government always sought a mixture between involvement worldwide and neutrality, and how such decisions do affect the average citizen. | |||
Other notable authors are [[Sheldon Maxson]], slam poet author of [[If I had The Chance and Cookbook for a Perfect Life]]. Influenced by the american poetry slam of 1984, Sheldon Maxon started his career by writing about the undergroudn life of New Wolvers and the poor class of the nation, of how despite the country apparent perfect look, New Wolvers is not any better than any other country on Earth, but that overall, life can be hard in any moment. | |||
==Food== | |||
Neo Wolverian food is usually derived from various culture, ranging from spanish to italian to japanese and other cultures. | |||
Being also a vast country with various cultures, it is impossible to list what the national food, rather it changes from state to state, with mixture between these states. | |||
The national dish of the country has been rumored to be the "Founders' Pizza", an slab made of pure meat, tomato sauce, cheese, topped with ground venison meat. Despite the name, it was originally created in 1966 by [[Ulfrico De Agostini]] in a challenge for his restaurant, and was seen ordered by various werewolf leaders and VIP. | |||
==Sport== | |||
The national sports of New Wolvers are [[football]], [[soccer]], [[athletics]], and various others, with a specific mention in [[motorsports]] | |||
While football, soccer, and common athletic sports are popular in New Wolvers, motorsports take a place in the heart of many Neo Wolverians, with a lot of important motorsport athletes being born in New Wolvers. | |||
Motorsports in general were seen as popular in the Neo Wolverian Society starting with the Montecarlo Rally from its early concept, entertaining the masses of various towns and cities and starting a car culture. | |||
=Infrastructure= | |||
==Transportation== | |||
Personal transportations are being dominated by cars, motorcycles, and bicycles, which operate a system of 832,381 kilometers of road. | |||
Road maintenance is provided by the RoadCo Assistance group, a government subsized company which occupies of building and maintaining the road network of the nation. | |||
Despite cars being the standard personal transportation, public transportations are highly used in metropolitan areas and granted by companies such as [[New Wolvers Transport Authority|newwosttra]] in New Wolvers and in the Autonomous Republic of Hale, [[Società Autotrasporti Yugone|SAY]] in Yugo State, [[CO.CA. ltd]] in Pyre State and [[VPS transports]] in New Veronika for bus and tram transportations. | |||
Trains are operated under TNWTrains, while the civilian airline is granted by AirWolvers, the former being government-owned, the latter being privately owned. | |||
Major and International airports, however, are under government control, which does give lottos to various other companies that can run it under rules given by the government itself. | |||
Santa Maya International Airport in Yugo State and Roy Lichtenstein International Airport in New Wolvers State are the busiest airports in the nation, and the John Tennyson III International Airport in Wenceslav being the newest airport opened in the country. | |||
Ship Transports are managed by private companies such as SARK Transports Co and HoloLift, which have a contract with the government on the import/export of goods and people. | |||
==Energy== | |||
Being New Wolvers a society that relies heavily on technology, and having AI citizens, New Wolvers uses since the late 50s efficient nuclear plants, which day by day since the 60s are being updated and enhanced to the point where nuclear wastes are not much of a problem, as the nuclear wastes get reused for the energy itself via refinement of the wastes. | |||
75% of electricity comes from Nuclear Fusion Power Plants, while the rest is divided by solar panels, wind urbines, and a few natural gas power plants. Only the 1% of power plants is the average petrol-fueled power plant, and are usually employed as emergency backup by the Government. | |||
==Healthcare== | |||
By the constitution, the healthcare provided by New Wolvers is free, and no profits are allowed for healthcare. | |||
The Neo Wolverian hospitals are one of the most efficient hospitals in the Utopian continent, as the University Hospitals are known to use experimental safe drugs to various patients, and | |||
The Neo Wolverian Healthcare system is provided to Neo Wolverian citizens, UP citizens, EURONAT citizens, and allied nations' citizens through the Federal Healthcare System on a state basis. | |||
Surgeries and hospitalization provided by public hospitals or by conventioned private ones are completely free of charge for everyone, regardless of their income. | |||
For planned surgeries however waiting times can be up to many days, especially in the big cities, but with guarantees of health and temporary benefits, people are not bothered by the waiting. | |||

The Federal Republic States of New Wolvers, also known as New Wolvers, is a sovereign state, co-founder of the Universal Pact until 2021, founder of the Theriolycanthropic Union, and former member of the Strategic and Economic Treaty Alliance in North Utopia. The nation is divided in four states, one Autonomous Republic, and one Capital District. It is known to be the first country in the North Utopian continent to grant AI citizenship to a robot in 1991, along with granting equal rights to all its citizens.
The nation is known to have community of werewolves in rural sides of the nation, even if is not too uncommon to see urban werewolves - werewolves who live in the city side of the country and are organized in packs or gangs.
Those werewolves may happen to be part of various Werewolf Nations which, legally, are mere representatives of the various tribes and packs of werewolves, but all of them are distinct in language, dialect, beliefs, and even currencies.
Nonetheless, those Nations are recognized only inside the Federal Republic States, and do serve only for statistic and representative purposes in the long scheme of events.
Etymology
The name New Wolvers comes from the original name of the colony, Nova Vlkania, name given by the settlers of the Twelve Settlements to the newly discovered territory that, nowadays comprises the state of New Wolvers and the state of New Veronika.
The standard way to call a citizen of New Wolvers is Neo Wolverian, even though other denonyms as Farkasian, Neovlkanian and Wolveri are perfectly acceptable, albeit rare.
The current name, the "Federal Republic States of New Wolvers", was adopted following the annexation of the Killingfer island archipelago to the nation.
History
Pre-Colonization
The region that constitutes present-day New Wolvers has a rich and complex history dating back to the 1st century AD. Initially, it was settled by tribes associated with the now-extinct Thilicina tribe of the Killingferi natives. However, these early settlements were eventually abandoned for reasons that remain unknown, possibly due to a variant of malaria prevalent in the area.
Over the course of approximately 500 years, various tribes made attempts to establish settlements in the region. The Killingferi native islanders, in particular, resettled the area around 200 AD but eventually abandoned the mainland once again. Apart from the Killingferi natives, there were reports of other tribes inhabiting the mainland according to accounts from the Killingferi. Unfortunately, no evidence of these tribes has been found, leaving behind a lingering mystery that persists to this day.
The history of New Wolvers is marked by successive waves of settlement and abandonment, with different tribes and peoples making their mark on the land. The exact reasons for the repeated abandonment of settlements and the disappearance of certain tribes remain elusive, adding to the intrigue and fascination surrounding the region's past.
Though the specific details may be shrouded in uncertainty, the historical legacy of these early settlements and the mysterious tribes that once inhabited the land continue to captivate researchers and fuel ongoing investigations into the enigmatic history of New Wolvers.
Discovery and Settlement
The discovery of the land that would later be known as Champion Bay took place around 1535 when Venetian explorers reported sightings of a patch of land characterized by green pastures and a lack of settlements, except for a few abandoned houses. Initial explorations were deemed futile due to the absence of inhabitants. However, journals described the land and the bay's waters as "ideal for seeking shelter during heavy storms."
In 1548, following an unsuccessful campaign to expand its territory in mainland Europe, Karel VI the Landlocked, the king of the Kingdom of Vlkania, dispatched explorers Artur Barta and Colombo De Felici to the described bay. Their mission was to establish a new overseas territory for the kingdom, as treaties with the surrounding Holy Roman Empire prevented expansion within Europe without consequences.
In 1549, with the passing of Karel the Landlocked and the ascension of Charles VII of Gothemburg to power, the two explorers set sail from the leased territory of Rab with a fleet of five ships. The vessels carried a diverse group of British, Scottish, Bohemian, and Italian explorers and shipworkers, all seeking to settle in the newly discovered land of Champion Bay.
Arriving 67 days later, docking the five ships proved to be a formidable challenge. A thunderstorm, triggered by a hurricane, threatened the explorers on their way to the bay. Despite the ordeal, they managed to successfully dock, although one of the five ships suffered severe damage and was left to decay on Champion Beach.
Upon their arrival, the two explorers established thirteen different camps to accommodate the unfortunate individuals from the Veneta ship and others who wished to reside in the newly discovered land. This marked the beginning of colonization in the abandoned territory.
Three years into the colonization efforts, with the recognition of the Thirteen Colonies as Nova Vlkania's overseas territories, King Charles VII made a proclamation. He declared that only one of the two explorers, who were previously co-governors, could assume leadership of the newly formed overseas territory. The king cited financial constraints as the reason behind the decision, as he could not sustain two governors for a minimum of ten years.
This pivotal event shaped the early history of the Champion Bay region and laid the foundation for the establishment of Nova Vlkania's presence in the overseas territory. The trials and triumphs faced by the explorers and colonizers would continue to shape the destiny of this newfound land in the years to come.
Civil War and Exile of De Felici
Colombo De Felici and Artur Barta, upon their return to the oversea territory, found themselves engaged in a physical altercation as they vied for control of the colony. This altercation would ultimately escalate into a full-fledged civil war between the supporters of Artur Barta and those of Colombo De Felici. After six days of intense conflict, Artur Barta emerged victorious, securing his position as the governor of the oversea territory.
Following the conclusion of the civil war, Colombo De Felici faced exile at the hands of Artur Barta. He was accused of mutiny and treason, with evidence presented in the form of a journal documenting De Felici's plans to establish an independent kingdom. Consequently, De Felici was banished from the territory.
In the aftermath of his exile, a significant portion of the population that had supported Colombo De Felici's bid for governance chose to follow him. They ventured far northeast, eventually establishing a new settlement known as the Independent kingdom of Iugone in the vicinity of Mount Celauria. Over the course of three years, they further settled in the Leonardian plains, ultimately founding the settlement of San Leonardo, also referred to as Porta Leonardina.
Aftermath and expansion
After the conclusion of the civil war and the successful appointment of Artur Barta as the governor of the oversea territory, he set out to further explore the vast and uncharted lands. With the support of the people in the thirteen colonies, Barta organized an expedition group comprised of skilled explorers. This group ventured into unexplored territories, uncovering new areas ripe for settlement and development. These expeditions played a crucial role in expanding the reach of the State of New Wolvers.
Similar to the American settlers, the exploration troops consisted of individuals sponsored by various companies. These sponsors recognized the potential for growth and economic opportunities in the untapped regions of the territory. Their support allowed for the establishment of new settlements and the gradual expansion of the State of New Wolvers.
As time went on, a diverse range of ethnic groups arrived in the oversea territory of Nova Vlkania. They brought with them their unique cultures, traditions, and skills. The economy of the region began to thrive, with a focus on agricultural practices and the export of cloth. The fertile lands of the territory proved ideal for cultivating crops and raising livestock.
Additionally, hunting and cattle breeding became integral components of the economy, providing sustenance and resources for the growing population. The abundance of wildlife in the region offered opportunities for hunting, while cattle breeding ensured a steady supply of food. These economic activities contributed to the overall prosperity and self-sufficiency of the State of New Wolvers.
The arrival of different ethnic groups, coupled with the diverse economic pursuits, created a vibrant and dynamic society within the territory. The fusion of cultures and the development of key industries laid the foundation for the future growth and prosperity of the State of New Wolvers.
Fall of the Kingdom of Vlkania and Independence
In 1649, a growing discontent among the inhabitants of Nova Vlkania was fueled by a series of unfavorable political decisions made by the mainland kingdom. The imposition of taxes on Neovlkanian pelts and fur, coupled with burdensome taxes on house ownership, left the people feeling oppressed. To make matters worse, their pleas for assistance during a famine went unanswered. These grievances ignited an anti-mainland sentiment that continued to gain momentum, attracting even the support of relatives of the ruling king, Jakub I of Vlkania. The people demanded greater representation within the kingdom or the freedom to establish their own independent country.
As the movement gained traction, it grew in strength and fervor with each passing month. Finally, on January 6th, 1651, news broke that the Kingdom of Vlkania had ceased to exist and had been incorporated into the Holy Roman Empire. This development further fueled the aspirations of the Nova Vlkanian people to chart their own course.
Following the political shift, James of Camponia emerged as the king of the newly renamed territory, New Wolvers. The name change was inspired by the results of the latest census, which revealed a majority of British descent among the inhabitants. With the ascension of King James, a new era began for the people of New Wolvers, marked by their newfound autonomy and determination to shape their own destiny.
However, the reign of King James was short-lived, as he passed away just three months later. His daughter, Veronika of Camponia, along with her husband Jan Blaha of Nova Ferenc, assumed the throne. Together, they took on the responsibility of leading New Wolvers and guiding it through the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead. The transition of power brought a sense of continuity and stability to the young nation, ensuring a smooth succession and the continuation of its quest for independence and self-determination.
Dissolution of the Kingdom and Establishment of the Republic of New Wolvers
The kingdom rose of importance because of their copper and gold exports, and some new forms of industry forming in the country rising as well.
However, with the ever-growing richness of the nobility of New Wolvers, and the growth of disparity among the classes, the Neo Wolverian average society felt that having one ruler commanding everything in the kingdom was a danger to the peace and stability of the kingdom, and this feeling was amplified when in 1738 Colin I the Madman rose to power as a king following the death of his father, Marek IV the Divided.
The middle-class of New Wolvers would initially ask for the king to estabilish a constitutional monarchy, encountering hostility in the nobility initially, but with the nobility supporting the middle-class into turning the absolute kingdom into a constitutional monarchy. Encountering hostility with the king, however, the middle-class and the nobility overthrew Colin I the Madman, and a provisional republic commandeered by Captain Falco Carson was established, with the promise of establishing a constitution within three months since the creation of the provisional republic.
On date February 4th, 1742, the first constitution of the Republic of New Wolvers was written, and Luca Salimbeni was elected as the president of the newly created republic.
Annexation of New Veronika and formation of the Federation of New Wolvers-Nova Veronika
The Federation of New Wolvers-Nova Veronika emerged thirty years after the establishment of the Republic of New Wolvers. This momentous event marked a significant territorial expansion and political transformation in the region, catalyzed by the request of the Territories of Nova Veronika to be annexed to the Republic.
Background
The Territories of Nova Veronika had a unique historical context, stemming from the aftermath of the civil war of 1552 that led to its separation from the Kingdom of New Wolvers. The second-generation Neovlkanians residing in Nova Veronika expressed their desire to rejoin the Republic under certain conditions. Their proposal aimed to establish Nova Veronika as an autonomous state within the Republic of New Wolvers, thereby granting the Republic greater access to the sea and an expanded territory for settlement, including new farmlands and hunting grounds for the growing werewolf population that had made the territory their home.
The Nova Veronikagrad Agreements
On May 5th, 1772, the pivotal Nova Veronikagrad agreements were reached, leading to the dissolution of the Republic of New Wolvers and the birth of the Federation of New Wolvers-Nova Veronika. The proposal of a federation between the two republics was harbored by the president of the Republic of New Veronika Pavel Kafka, after various meetings with the President of the Republic of New Wolvers Smith Coulson. This new federation marked a remarkable fusion of two distinct regions under a unified governance structure. The Territories of Nova Veronika officially became an integral part of the Republic, retaining their unique identity as an autonomous state within the larger federation.
As a symbolic gesture of unity, Smith Coulson was appointed as the inaugural president of the Federation. His leadership symbolized continuity and served as a bridge between the two regions that had come together to form the federation.
Tragedy Strikes: The Hurricane of Berta
Merely a month after the formation of the Federation, a devastating hurricane struck the region, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The original capital city, Camponia, bore the brunt of the calamity, resulting in a tragic loss of 741 lives. Among the victims was the wife of President Coulson, Maria Berta, whose untimely demise deeply affected the administration and the government.
In the aftermath of the catastrophe, the decision was made to relocate the capital to the city of Juvens. To honor the memory of President Coulson's beloved wife, the city of Juvens was renamed Berta, forever etching her name in remembrance of the tragic loss.
Rebuilding and Renewed Resolve
The hurricane of Berta dealt a severe blow to the fledgling Federation, yet it also demonstrated the resilience and unity of its people. Despite the devastating impact, the Federation remained steadfast in its commitment to rebuild and emerge stronger than ever.
Under the leadership of President Coulson, the Federation embarked on a comprehensive reconstruction effort to restore the affected areas and provide support to the victims and their families. The tragedy served as a catalyst for renewed determination and solidarity among the people of the Federation, further strengthening the bonds between the once-separate territories.
The Heavy Famine of 1790 and the Italic Republic of Iugone
The year 1790 brought forth a devastating famine that swept across the Federation of New Wolvers-Nova Veronika and its neighboring countries, leaving destruction and suffering in its wake. The catastrophe was triggered by a combination of a severe drought and the widespread death of cattle and fauna, severely impacting agricultural productivity and the availability of food and water.
Despite the dire circumstances, the Federation demonstrated remarkable resilience and determination. Implementing stringent rationing measures, the Federation managed to weather the crisis, conserving essential resources until the arrival of winter. With the return of water availability, agriculture and cattle breeding were able to recover, heralding a glimmer of hope for the beleaguered nation.
However, while the Federation stood strong in the face of adversity, the neighbouring Italic Republic of Iugone found itself on the brink of socio-economic collapse. Ravaged by forest fires in the Celaurian Mountains, the republic suffered the destruction of its meticulously cultivated harvest over the past decade and significant losses of timber, the main export of the republic.
The president of the Italic Republic, Mariangelo Carlo De Felici, a direct descendant of Colombo De Felici, the historical figure instrumental in the republic's foundation, found himself facing an overwhelming crisis. Desperate for assistance and humanitarian aid, President De Felici reached out to neighboring countries for support, with the plea for survival echoing across the region.
In a heartwarming display of unity and compassion, the Federation of New Wolvers-Nova Veronika responded to the call for help, extending a helping hand to its struggling neighbor. Providing crucial supplies of food, water, and essential raw materials, the Federation's generosity breathed new life into the Italic Republic, offering hope and sustenance during these dire times.
Touched by the profound gesture of solidarity, the people of the Italic Republic found renewed admiration for the neighbouring Federation. In the spirit of cooperation and a growing sentiment of unity, they implored President De Felici to hold a referendum on whether the Italic Republic should join the Federation of New Wolvers-Nova Veronika as an official state. The Italic Republic's population expressed their dissatisfaction with their own administration's handling of the crisis and their desire for a brighter future within the Federation.
Answering the call of the people, President De Felici agreed to hold the momentous referendum, setting the date on August 8th, 1791. When the day arrived, an overwhelming 69.21% of the population voted in favor of becoming part of New Wolvers, thereby initiating the formal procedure to integrate the Italic Republic into the Federation.
Two years later, on August 8th, 1793, the Italic Republic of Iugone officially became an integral part of the Federation of New Wolvers-Nova Veronika. The momentous occasion heralded a new chapter in the nation's history, with the Federation undergoing a significant name change to reflect its expanded boundaries and unified identity as the Federal Republic of New Wolvers.
The 19th century
The start of the year 1800 was intense, with new technologies being invented and the economic of the Federal Republic booming, New Wolvers became a major country in the world order, and a pinnacle example of pacifism.
In 1814 the Great Duchy of Pyre was facing a social dilemma and closely facing a civil war to choose as the new Dute, as Duke Carlos XXI de Fuego died without generating heirs to succeed him due to a sudden heart attack.
The Prime Minister of the country, Marcos Vidal-Alvarez, proposed to the Fuegan parliament to join the Federal Republic of New Wolvers as the third way, as a civil war would mean a national disaster for everyone.
After a vote of 42 yes, 20 no and 3 abstained, the Prime Minister sent a request to the federation, and waited an answer.
President Alessia Vitali of the Federal Republic of New Wolvers willingly accepted the Duchy as part of New Wolvers, and in 1816 the Duchy ceased to exist to become the Duchy-State of Pyre.
With the joining of the Duchy-State of Pyre, the Conservative Party of New Wolvers felt that accepting new members would hinder the equilibrium of the nation, and Sir Giovanni de Maghi, the leader of the Conservative Party, was strongly against the Duchy of Pyre to be part of New Wolvers, and resigned from the position of leader after the entry of Pyre as a state, leaving a political vacuum in the process.
In 1863 the Floods of Porta Leonardina and the late answer of the Federal Republic due to the would ailment an anti-neowolverian sentiment by the people of Mount Celauria, with the Disorders of 1868 culminating in a riot supported by the governor of Yugo State Vittorino Valentini in order to become independent again.
Such disorders however ceased when the Federal government gave huge tax breaks and help to the state, along with formal apologies of the president Jules Leclerc about the late answer by the Federal Government.
The 20th Century and the World Wars
At the start of the 20th century, in 1902, the Colony of Killingfer, a territory of the British Empire, requested to join the Federal Republic as a state in order to prevent losses from an upcoming war the British Empire was ready to fight.
Talks between the British Empire and the Federal Republic started in May 8th, 1900, and concluded with the Aternian Accord in the Co-Principate of Aterno, where the Federal Republic would pay the British Empire a sum of money equivalent to the land of the Killingfer island.
In 1902, the newly-born Republic of Killinger became first a protectorate of the Neo Wolverian federation, then a fully-fledged autonomous republic. New Wolvers then became the Federal Republic States of New Wolvers upon the entrance of the Killingfer Autonomous Republic in the Neo Wolverian legislature.
When the first World War started, New Wolvers automatically declared itself a neutral country, claiming that the matters of the old continent had nothing to do with the Federal Republic States. The Yugonese Representation Party however pressured for New Wolvers to join the British alliance, meeting total failure to do so when the "War Act" was rejected by the President and the majority of the senate.
This rejection would only fuel the anti-neo wolverian ideology in the state of Yugo, to the point where in 1921 the YGP, along with the Partito Fascista Iugonese would win the majority of the state's seat, and plot to institute an empire instead of a Federal Republic.
In 1928, the Scare of Fuego would happen, and the coup by the YGP and the PFI would fail greatly, with the leader of the PFI, Dario Artiglieri, being killed by a discharged firegun. The scare would then be the reason of the dissolution of the Yugonese Representation Party and the Yugonese Fascist Party, and a ban on fascist ideology was taken in place.
The period between 1928-1940 would be crucial for New Wolvers, as the entire world was on the brink of another war, and any wrong political choice would mean that New Wolvers would be involved in a conflict.
Upon the death of Sir Barnabas Hale in 1935, the Autonomous Republic of Killingfer changed its name to the Autonomous Republic of Hale, in honor of Sir Barnabas Hale himself, being the first to request the british empire to let go and start the Aternian Accord.
The Red Summer of 1940
On June 1st, 1940, in a year where the Second World War was going on, the Neo Wolverian Communist Party organized a violent coup, executing the president in charge Marek Blaha under accusations of "dissatisfaction and inability by the Neo Wolverian government to free the workers and seize the means of production". The Neo Wolverian Communist Party would take charge of the parliament and place Berta Capital City in lockdown. The leader of the NWCP, Igor Vinky, would become the President of the self-proclaimed Soviet Federal Republic States of New Wolvers. The SFRSNW would however last for three months, after the Siege of Berta Capital City would occur by the hands of the Carbineers of Internal Protection in order to reinstate the legitimate government of New Wolvers, with then-vice president Kai Lombo becoming president of the Federal Republic States.
The 1950s and Present Day
The period between 1943 and 1955 is known as the "Newcoming" by many Neo Wolverians due to the influx of refugees from various war-torn countries, like the German population who inhabited Konigsberg, or Hungarian refugees who escaped the communist regime, Czechs and Slovaks escaping both the Nazi and the Communist regimes and various deserters from various armies. Some Neo Wolverian however decided to settle in the much richer Principality of Aterno as they were desperate to find a job, bringing with them the Neo Wolverian Culture
Between the years 1958-1981, the Federal Republic States invested in technology and infrastructures a lot, to the point where it risked going bankrupt in 1960.
Around 1964, major manufacturing companies, software house, and computer manufacturers established in the territory, aided by the funds of the Federal Republic States.
Such companies allowed economic growth and a growth of living age exponentially, the various species inhabiting the territory to enjoy benefits previously not available.
In 1979, a big bauxite field was discovered in the northeastern part of the state of New Veronika, thus the nation started to export bauxite, useful for aluminum manufacturing.
One special company, the Omnes Robotics, became essential in the Neo Wolverian society, as its software were the most advanced in the world to the point wherein 1987 the first AI citizen, Paul Jacobson Omnes, gained sentience, thus paving the way to AI citizenship in 1991 after a three-year-long test took place to confirm the sentience.
In 2010, the nation reached prosperity and the economy became the largest in the continent, and an influx of people from other countries in both the European Union and the Universal Pact opened another, the ongoing era called "The Ultimate Era", as the nation was going to expect more economic growth and political stability.
Around Christmas 2019, the Federal republic States, along with the entire world, was contacted on behalf of a Galactic Police Force to host various refugees from various planets of the Milky Way, thus starting another period for the entire world. Various, previously unseen species of creatures are now seen roaming the Federal Republic States, even though around 700 individuals from the various planets became citizens.
Geography
The Federal Republic States of New Wolvers shares borders with Daunlaund, sharing borders with the provinces of Daunlaund, Ferus, Derose and Esztluew by North, with Erskiellander by northeast, with the Aterno by east (surrounding the exclave region of Veronikagrad of the state of New Veronika) and by the Hale Sea by the west.
Being a mixture of hills, mountains, and plains, the nation has a diverse climate that can be equiparated to the Mediterranean climate of Italy and the climate of Middle Europe, with hot summers and cold winters. During winter however, it is not uncommon to find blizzards in the northern part of the nation, including the isle of Killingfer. The highest point of the Federal Republic States is 2366 metres, which is the height of the peak of Mount Celauria, in the region of Celauria, Yugo State. The state of Pyre is considered the most mountainous state, with very few plains and relying mostly on tourism. In the State of Pyre it is found the Fuegan river, which delivers water to the nearest Lake of Fuego, in the Co-Principate of Aterno.
The lowest point however is reached by the Tundry Atoll, an oversea territory used for underwater and academical studies. The oversea territories, found in the very south of the Utopian continents, is not inhabited for most of the year, with the only visitors being tourists and scientists.
The nation also offers coasts where both inhabitants and tourists go visit during vacations, as well as beaches of various types in the south of the country, with the Champion Call region being the most frequented beach in New Wolvers.
Demographics
Population
The 87% of the population of New Wolvers does consider themselves a native Neo Wolverian, with the rest 23% being a mix of other countries, most of which are Italy, Czechia, Prussia, Great Britain, Hungary, Daunland, and Aterno. Around a 1% claim to be a native of the Island of Killingfer, despite recent studies came to conclusion that the last natives of the Island of Killingfer died in 1901, effectively making the natives of the island extinct. While the statistics declare that around 20 percent of the people living in the territory are werewolves, it is not a governmental requirement to declare one's race or if they have shapeshifting abilities to the authorities.
Language
The languages used in the Federal Republic States of New Wolvers are mainly English, Czech, Italian, and Spanish.
Other minority languages reported are German, Hungarian, Slovakian, Sammarinese Italian, Chinese, Aternian, and Japanese.
The State of New Wolvers, despite using English as a standard language since 1710, still maintains Czech influences and ways of speaking, as well as the bordering communities, do speak a mixture of English and Czech called Farkasian
Species
The Federal Republic States of New Wolvers is composed of various species from all over the universe.
Here listed is information about the most prominent types of citizens by scientific nomenclature.
Note that those are the given censorial majority of the inhabiting population of the nation, and might not include every species.
Homo Sapiens sapiens
Humans are the "majority" of the population that composes the nation of New Wolvers. They are part of the subtribe Hominina. They are characterized by erect posture and bipedal locomotion; high manual dexterity and heavy tool use compared to other animals; open-ended and complex language use compared to other animal communications; and a general trend toward larger, more complex brains and societies.
Canis Lupus hominosapiens
The werewolves, also known as lycanthropes or Garou, are an evolution of the Canis Lupus subspecies. Being what the majority of the scientist think to be the missing link between humans and canines, those people are portrayed a lot in lots of different cultures as beasts who want to kill humanity, even if reality is extremely different and in some cultures, they are portrayed as good people. Being an inspiration for the popular tabletop Roleplay Game Werewolf: The Apocalypse by World of Darkness, the werewolves are known to shapeshift at their own will between their various forms and their innate strength, considered three times more than a normal human. Unlike what folklore and popular indicate, werewolves are immune to silver, and instead, revere it as the "Moon Metal" and the "Sacred Blood of Gaia", which under the shared culture of the Werewolf Nations, is considered the goddess of the werewolves. Werewolves in the Neo Wolverian society are usually seen as a strong species, usually being employed for heavy duty jobs or high risk jobs, even though is not unusual at all to see werewolves being employed as doctors, teachers, scientists, caretakers and so on. While not strictly necessary, werewolves are usually considered to be part of either a clan or one of the thirteen Werewolf Nations, with each nation having their own language, cultures, customs and duties. Every night of a full moon, or during emergencies, the Gaian Council is established in order to solve any issue, dispute, update or anything that any Werewolf Nation might endure. Unlike humans, werewolves do live slightly longer, with documents stating that the oldest werewolf that has ever lived in the nation died at age 322.
Homo Sapiens chiropteris
Being what the common citizen call Vampires or Chiros, those people are also inhabitants of New Wolvers, rumored to be originary of Transylvanian colonizers.
Usually, the vampires do not feed exclusively on blood and do not melt (or sparkle) when exposed during the day, even though they are definitely weaker under the sunlight or under exposure of heavier lights. What distinguishes a human or a werewolf from a vampire is that vampires are usually paler than the average person and sport big teeth while grinning, along with having limited strength, surpassing that of a human but to be weaker than a werewolf. Along with these characteristics, vampires are known to be the longest living species of all time, being however decimated by viruses and coronaviruses that do hit bats and bat-adjacent creatures at around age 130. Being more active during the night, vampires are usually seen, along with werewolves, being in pair and congregating in darker places, as well as in nightclubs, discos, graveyards and so on, usually being nicknamed the "Graveyarders" for their paler skins and their prominence in working during the night. Usually, Vampire citizens do get employed as night-shift employers such as security guards or hospital clerks.
Machina Robotis omnes
Despite the name suggests they are a species, the OmniRobots by Omnes Robotics™, those people, simply known as robots by the common people, are AIs that have developed a conscience and acquired rights since the early 80s, with the first OmniRobot 3500 robot being recognized as the first AI citizen in the whole Utopian continent under the name Paul Omnes. They are commonly spotted being clerks, police officers, firefighters, or heavy-duty workers alongside werewolves, being safe for them to mine, and cut trees without getting intoxicated or damaged. For the Machina Robotis omnes, their body is just a shell, as their AI stored inside their hard drive. AI citizens are known to have a territory of their own in New Wolvers State, Hacker City, which has been deemed to be the hotspot for the majority of AI-based citizens.
Other species
Other than these cataloged species, other species include Ailuranthropes (Felis Acinonyx hominins), and other various therianthropes. It is noted that to become a citizen of New Wolvers, it is not needed to be humanoid-looking, but sentience is enough.
Government
The form of government of a Semi-Presidential government, in which a president exists alongside a prime minister and a cabinet, with the latter being responsible for the legislature of a state which, in turn, the president can approve or deny a law. If a law has been denied by the president, the law has to be redone, and when presented, the president has to sign the law.
On top of that, the president has the power to suggest a law or a policy if a majority is met, which allows the president to create a law that will be examined by the constitutional court shall it be deemed undemocratic.
The President gets elected every 7 years, where new Presidential Elections will be held after the ending of the term, which can be extended three times consecutively.
Despite the name of the chambers suggesting is a monarchy, the names were kept for the sakes of historical reminiscences.
The various branches of the government, the executive, the press, and the judiciary, are all appointed by the nation's cabinet after the elections of the various parties, with the president having to confirm or deny any appointing.
Constituent States and Werewolf Nations
Every state of New Wolvers is governed by a Subpresident, which is elected every three years in democratic elections. Every state has its own government and its autonomy, but not to a degree to enact laws that do interfere in economics ongoing or on budget expenses about healthcare.
The Autonomous Republic of Hale, however, is governed by a Governorate, which is elected every four years and consists in three Governors, overseen by the Supreme Governor and the President of the Federal Republic States, and has a higher degree of autonomy regarding enactments of laws and customs, but not to the point to block access to other Neo Wolverian Citizens, except for valid reasons.
The Werewolf Nations instead, while being recognized as nations and assigned territories, are most representative of the werewolf population inhabiting the Federal Republic States, and while having degrees of autonomy to the point that they can set up their own internal currency and their postal service, they are still recognized as part of one or multiple states, as both the state and the Werewolf Nation can co-exist. There is no requirement to be a citizen of a Werewolf Nation, as it is not mandatory to be a werewolf to be part of the nation. Moreover, towns, cities, and rural villages have the option to be part or opt out of a Werewolf Nation by popular referenda.
The leaders of the Werewolf Nations are, usually, chosen democratically, even though there have been cases where democracy would not work out. Nonetheless, every day of a full moon, the representatives of the Werewolf Nations must be present at the Gaian Council to discuss any issue between the territories, territory exchange, enactment of new laws other political squabbles. However, a Gaian Council can be summoned in extreme emergencies when the full moon is not up, provided the matter of urgency is greater to invoke a Gaian Council.
Unlike the States and the Autonomous Republic, the Werewolf Nations each do have a different type of government and election, some of them holding a kingdom-like way of succession, while others do rely on democratic votes casted by the citizens.
Foreign Relations and Military
The nation pursues a doctrine of neutrality in terms of conflict, claiming the country was founded on the basis of pacific convivence and freedom.
Despite that, the nation has its own army, which acts as a peacekeeping force for the nation, abiding into roles of border protection, territorial safety, rescue mission, international peacekeeping, humanitarian crisis solving and so on.
Known as the "Liberty Wolves" after freeing Berta Capital City from the insurgent communists during the Red Summer of 1940.
Each regiment is differently armed based on the role they cover and the regiment they are in, with weaponry that ranges from small guns to bigger guns to experimental weaponry and portable chainguns.
Each regiment also has a different training method, each with an assigned Drill Sergeant, and each being trained with a different approach based on the role they keep. For example, the 76th Yugean Protection Regiment would not be able to defeat the 32nd "Robotic Boogaloo" Defensive-Offensive Regiment as they are trained and equipped differently, with the former covering representation and overall defensive role in the nation and the latter being an experimental and a last resort regiment composed of very strong-willed people and creatures from other regiments.
Is important to note that while every regiment has their own Drill Instructor, every recruit goes to general training by an UnderDrill Instructor, and are all assigned in a special regiment that is not used during combat.
Economy
New Wolvers operates under a system of free-market capitalism.
The private sector is estimated to constitute around 86% of the economy, with federal, regional, and local government accounting 14%. Unemployment is 8%, but it does not inflict upon the quality of life as the constitution grants any help for a dignified life to any citizen.
New Wolvers is a big exporter of bauxite, computer parts, experimental equipment, alcoholic drinks, software and consumable goods. The EURONAT, formerly known as the European Union, and the Universal Pact are the two major trading partners of the country, having treaties and membership to both.
Information Technology is the largest sector of the country, along with mining, manufacturing, livestock, and gambling. Agriculture and automotive are other important drivers of the Neo Wolverian economy, despite not being a nation famous for its car brands.

In the nation, there are Czech, Italian and British minorities alongside Latino minorities. New Wolvers is considered a melting pot nation where several cultures join into one, creating an identity of its own akin to a European Union.
Various language differences with the main European ones are evident, with each of the languages spoken in the nation having influences from the other languages. It is not uncommon to see these languages mixed in a creole-like language.
Neo Wolverian people have been described as inventive, intelligent, competitive, and hardworking. This has resulted in great economic productivity as well as an enhancement of everyday life, granting to the nation a decent government. It also makes a great spot for economical migration, as the nation is in both the Schengen treaty and the Universal Pact Freedom of Movement Treaty. The Neo Wolverian society also cares a lot about personal freedom and gender equality.
Literature
The average Neo Wolverian has a fondness for culture, and loves reading. Around 98.9% of the population is able to read. As the country is quadrilingual officially, various European authors influenced the Neo Wolverian literature, with influence mostly around british and Italian literature, even though Czech and Spanish literature was not ignored. A notable author is Lorenzo Speciali di Milanova (1910-1996), author of The Chastity of the Dog, an autobiography that tells in multiple point of views the average life of the 20th Century and how the Neo Wolverian Government always sought a mixture between involvement worldwide and neutrality, and how such decisions do affect the average citizen.
Other notable authors are Sheldon Maxson, slam poet author of If I had The Chance and Cookbook for a Perfect Life. Influenced by the american poetry slam of 1984, Sheldon Maxon started his career by writing about the undergroudn life of New Wolvers and the poor class of the nation, of how despite the country apparent perfect look, New Wolvers is not any better than any other country on Earth, but that overall, life can be hard in any moment.
Food
Neo Wolverian food is usually derived from various culture, ranging from spanish to italian to japanese and other cultures.
Being also a vast country with various cultures, it is impossible to list what the national food, rather it changes from state to state, with mixture between these states.
The national dish of the country has been rumored to be the "Founders' Pizza", an slab made of pure meat, tomato sauce, cheese, topped with ground venison meat. Despite the name, it was originally created in 1966 by Ulfrico De Agostini in a challenge for his restaurant, and was seen ordered by various werewolf leaders and VIP.
Sport
The national sports of New Wolvers are football, soccer, athletics, and various others, with a specific mention in motorsports
While football, soccer, and common athletic sports are popular in New Wolvers, motorsports take a place in the heart of many Neo Wolverians, with a lot of important motorsport athletes being born in New Wolvers. Motorsports in general were seen as popular in the Neo Wolverian Society starting with the Montecarlo Rally from its early concept, entertaining the masses of various towns and cities and starting a car culture.

Despite cars being the standard personal transportation, public transportations are highly used in metropolitan areas and granted by companies such as newwosttra in New Wolvers and in the Autonomous Republic of Hale, SAY in Yugo State, CO.CA. ltd in Pyre State and VPS transports in New Veronika for bus and tram transportations.
Trains are operated under TNWTrains, while the civilian airline is granted by AirWolvers, the former being government-owned, the latter being privately owned.
Major and International airports, however, are under government control, which does give lottos to various other companies that can run it under rules given by the government itself.
Santa Maya International Airport in Yugo State and Roy Lichtenstein International Airport in New Wolvers State are the busiest airports in the nation, and the John Tennyson III International Airport in Wenceslav being the newest airport opened in the country.
Ship Transports are managed by private companies such as SARK Transports Co and HoloLift, which have a contract with the government on the import/export of goods and people.
Energy
Being New Wolvers a society that relies heavily on technology, and having AI citizens, New Wolvers uses since the late 50s efficient nuclear plants, which day by day since the 60s are being updated and enhanced to the point where nuclear wastes are not much of a problem, as the nuclear wastes get reused for the energy itself via refinement of the wastes.
75% of electricity comes from Nuclear Fusion Power Plants, while the rest is divided by solar panels, wind urbines, and a few natural gas power plants. Only the 1% of power plants is the average petrol-fueled power plant, and are usually employed as emergency backup by the Government.
Healthcare
By the constitution, the healthcare provided by New Wolvers is free, and no profits are allowed for healthcare.
The Neo Wolverian hospitals are one of the most efficient hospitals in the Utopian continent, as the University Hospitals are known to use experimental safe drugs to various patients, and The Neo Wolverian Healthcare system is provided to Neo Wolverian citizens, UP citizens, EURONAT citizens, and allied nations' citizens through the Federal Healthcare System on a state basis.
Surgeries and hospitalization provided by public hospitals or by conventioned private ones are completely free of charge for everyone, regardless of their income. For planned surgeries however waiting times can be up to many days, especially in the big cities, but with guarantees of health and temporary benefits, people are not bothered by the waiting.
