'''The Union of Northern Ophionese States''' more commonly known as '''Akina''' is a {{wp|Eurasianism|Eurasianist}} federation of states to the east of [[Ophioneus]]. With a population greater then 200 million it is one of the most populated states in Sunalaya, as well one of the largest by land area. Akina however remains merely a regional power and not a great power due to a weak economy hampered by rampant corruption. Akina is infamous for being one of the most militarized states in Sunalaya, with a corrupt government notable for human rights abuses. Akina is seen as a pariah state, with an isolationist authoritarian government, and it's overambitious aggressive geopolitics.

Akina was founded in the 1920s with the closing of the Jasonian Civil War. Reactionary military officers banded together in [[Sorovsk]] creating the Union of Northern Ophionese State via the Treaty of Sorovosk. A distinct relative of the former Tsar was installed as Tsar, and a semi-representive government was formed as per the demands of their sponsors in Ventismar. Military generals were allocated provinces within the former Iason Empire, forming so called "Cliques". The Union soon broke apart as  the big tent "White" movement had numerous disagreements over policy, entering into a so called "[[Warring Cliques Period (Akina)|Warlord Era]]" where generals had separate warring states, under an informal unity from the Church and Tsar.

[[File:KashiwaSummerPalace.jpeg|thumb|The Kashiwa Summer Palace]]
Akina is a federation of semi autonomous states, who "see each other as sovereign equals". The political system according to the  [[Articles of Akianc Reunification]] is so called "[http://greater-europe.org/archives/2622 Masterocracy]" where each state is held by a ''master'', representative of their local culture and conditions. They mutually agree to an All-Union Government to safeguard the interests of the whole and defend the country. The responsibilities of the All-Union Government should in theory be limited to issues of defense, intrastate commerce, national infrastructure, and safeguarding of national interests. This All-Union government is controlled by a [[National Duma]] which represents the whole country.
Akianac states have developed unique models of governance; the cities of Akina ruled by joint stock govcorps, Turkic states led by populist Turanist military leaders, Slavic states controlled either by local assemblies, or the church. Akina is commonly seen as a patchwork united by a strong military apparatus in Kashiwa, as well as a united national elite centered around the military industrial complex. The National Duma also acts as an important forum for cooperation between the states.
The sovereign of Akina is the Tsar, who is seen as the protector and unifying force of the nation as well as giving the state legitimacy from God. He however possess limited actual power and acts more as a figurehead of the nation. Most national power in Akina is vested in the [[Central Cabinet (Akina)]], who control the Central Bank, power of the purse, the military apparatus, hold stake in many so called municipal govcorps, and can assume dictatorial powers in the event of a state of emergency. The Central Cabinet has 5 members; the most powerful of which is the [[Grand Marshall of Akina]]. The Central Cabinet is commonly seen as the nucleus of the executive along possessing control over the armed forces, and some powers nominally allocated for the legislature, such as drafting the national budget. While the Constitution in theory gives it lower status than the Duma in practice it is the most powerful organ of the state.
The countries ruling political organizations are united around the [[National Self Defense Front (Akina)|National Self Defense Front]] an association of "nationalistic organization united to protect the union from foreign forces". The Front controls much of the economy, owns most of the media, and allows in some respects to allow Akina to be seen as a one party state. The Front is quite different from other one party states in the sense that it is a decentral forum for discussion among elites not an official organization with any legal backing.
====Duma====
The Akianac Duma is the unicameral legislative assembly of the country, with 1/2 of the seats picked by the states, 1/4 directly elected, and 1/4 selected by special interests. It is equal in status to the Tsar officially and is one of the nation's only institutions of representative democracy. The Duma appoints the members of the [[Central Cabinet (Akina)]] every 5 years, along with a seperate [[Standing Duma]] that meets with more regularity. The Duma is seen as the supreme organ of the nation, deciding on national policy, economic plans, state projects, and new laws. It also confirms the National Budget after being written by the [[Central Cabinet (Akina)|Central Cabinet]].
While the National Duma meets every 6 months; having over 1000 members, the Standing Duma with 150 members meets weekly; discussing the nation's pressing issues. Parties are not allowed within the legislature itself however 'blocs' exist denoting the different issues of the states. Some simply see it as a rubber stamp assembly, however other scholars note "there is very real differences, just the rules and methods of lawfare than what is commonly seen in Ventismar".  Regardless it stands as some of the most unique legislatures in Sunalaya.
====Judiciary====
Akina has a complex court system based on civil law, although court cases can provide 'non binding guidance'. States are free to have their own courts and legal system as long as they don't "heavily contradict accepted federal practice", allowing some states to utilize such law as Shar'ia. Most states however have little religious influence in their legal system, with a mostly secular criminal code.
The federal government maintains it's own system of courts for the purposes of anti-corruption and putting into force federal laws. At the lowest level exists the summary courts, then the district courts, and finally the High Courts. Family affairs and other civil matters are managed by local state courts with different policies. Akina is infamous for a shoddy legal system when you go past the cities of the east,  with rampant judicial corruption and show trials.
Akina has a separate system of corporate courts which are known for their rampant corruption, allocating favors towards various businesses. It has been one of the primary things reducing ease of doing business in the country after reforms reduced much of the red tape for permits and such. Akina's legal system has been the subject of much controversy with many looking to reform the system.

===Foreign Policy===
Akina is one of the most powerful countries in Ophion. It is a member of the [[Donghai Axis]], USA, ACIS, etc. Akianc foreign policy is based on the concept of multipolarity, and civilizational independence. Akina rejects the unipolar VU based international order, and instead seeks a new order of separate yet equal civilizational poles which preserve their national culture. As such Akina opposes so called "neocolonialism", preferring a new relationship of solidarity and equality with the global south. The Union opposes the modern nation state as is, noting how it destroys local culture with Ventismarian globalism. Instead Akina prefers the creation of large poles, which would unite numerous patches.
Despite lofty goals and ideals Akina's diplomatic efforts are much more pragmatic in nature. As such Akina is often known to be neutral in global conficts. Akina hosts a record number of embassies within Sunalaya, and is often seen as a mediator in the world. Akina often acts as a peacekeeper in Central Ophion and in between other ACIS powers. However Akina does hace several disputes including various border disputes with Yanabad, and conflicing Arctic claims with [[Rhodevus]]. Akina was also rivals with the USJR however the country has adopted a more conciliatory tone with Ophioneus, hoping for reunification. Akina is noted for it's hardline anti-communist stance, supporting all interventions against communism and the overthrow of communist governments.

The Union of Northern Ophionese States more commonly known as Akina is a Eurasianist federation of states to the east of Ophioneus. With a population greater then 200 million it is one of the most populated states in Sunalaya, as well one of the largest by land area. Akina however remains merely a regional power and not a great power due to a weak economy hampered by rampant corruption. Akina is infamous for being one of the most militarized states in Sunalaya, with a corrupt government notable for human rights abuses. Akina is seen as a pariah state, with an isolationist authoritarian government, and it's overambitious aggressive geopolitics.

Akina was founded in the 1920s with the closing of the Jasonian Civil War. Reactionary military officers banded together in Sorovsk creating the Union of Northern Ophionese State via the Treaty of Sorovosk. A distinct relative of the former Tsar was installed as Tsar, and a semi-representive government was formed as per the demands of their sponsors in Ventismar. Military generals were allocated provinces within the former Iason Empire, forming so called "Cliques". The Union soon broke apart as the big tent "White" movement had numerous disagreements over policy, entering into a so called "Warlord Era" where generals had separate warring states, under an informal unity from the Church and Tsar.

This period was marred with significant social turmoil as various generals fought each other for power. By the mid 1930s a certain degree of stability had been achieved with the consolidation of the States, albeit constant skirmishes on the frontier. The Union would see unification again with a USO invasion, allowing the State of Akina to raise an united Union army to successfully fend away the Reds along with Western support. Akina after the invasion did not disband the federation but began the process of Akinac Unification, using diplomacy, coercion, and political meddling to achieve the Unification of the Union. The Union underwent a population and economic boom with the Unification, with the centre implementing economic plans that vastly modernized the country.

With the collapse of the USO in the 70s Akina worked to unify many entities that fell under Red control. Similar tactics were used to that of the original unification, and by the 90s all the areas east of the !Urals were under Akinac rule. Akinac technocrats launched shock therapy programs in the Red areas, seeing most of the economic assets sold to the wealthier regions or a new military dominated oligarchy. Without the threat of USO intervention, Akina moved it's prospects south hoping to secure the frontier with Yanabad.
