The Confederacy of Montichellia, commonly referred to as Montichellia, is a loose confederation of seven states which prize above all liberty, and the devolution of power from governments down to the local family level. The agrarian styled society makes up for is weak industry through its civil liberties and the happy, simplistic lives up the Montichellian citizens. The national government, embodied in the Montichellian Congress, is a powerless body that is more symbolic than an effective government body. The seven state governments hold most power over the Montichellians and the national government. Due to the devolution of power, the States themselves are tasked with maintaining the general welfare, military forces, taxes, state/local legislation, etc.
Government
The Montichellian government is a Jeffersonian Republic, which characterizes the ideas of Thomas Jefferson's ideology, which consists of a deregulated Republic, with near all power delegated to the individual states. The federal government of Montichellia consists of a single branch, the Montichellian Congress. The Montichellian Congress is a bicameral legislature, consisting of a House of Delegates and a Senate.
The Montichellian House of Delegates is the lower house of the legistlature and the number of delegates is selected based upon the population of each state and act as a direct representative of the people form each state to the national government.
The Montichellian Senate is comprised of two senators from each of the seven states, which totals to fourteen senators. The senators act as representatives of their respective states to the national government.
The Montichellian Confederacy is made of up seven different States, which include The State of Mason, The State of Harper, The State of Hundley, The State of Boutetourt, The State of Meadows, The State of Cottonwood, and The State of Ashtree.
The Montichellian Federal government is near powerless compared to the states. The Montichellian Accord, the founding document of the nation, permits the Federal government to conduct foreign diplomacy, announce a state of war, settle disputes between states, and to enforce the Accord's Articles.
The Federal Government operates out of the District of Mason, named after the first Honorary President, and the author of the Montichellian Accord, Henry Mason, and is directly ruled by the Montichellian Congress rather than one of the seven states.
Factions, or Parties, exist within Montichellia, with two broad, overreaching factions. The Masonism Party, which is a conservative party focused on protecting the right of the states and the people in order to prevent a strong, totalitarian federal government. The second party is the Unionist Party, which seeks to empower the federal government over the states to create a more united nation under the Montichellian Congress.
Culture
Generally, Montichellian culture is on the more conservative side. A staple in Montoichellian folklore is the concept of the "Yeoman Farmer", a cultural identidy which is praised throughout the agrarian society, which is a class of landowning farmers. This identidy can trace its origins to the founder, Henry Mason, who despite being an upperclass, large landowning politician, vocalized and materialized his support and belif in the 'common man', which in Montichellia are the Yeoman farmers who built the nation. Montichellian Culture is rather undiversified due to the rigid, conservative ways of most of the country. Traditional Montichellian values are centered around the family, which reflects the devloutionized country as a whole, but the cultures of each state are distinct and vary due to their enviorment and local governments.
Economy
Reflective of the culture and society, the Montichellian economy is based around free-market agriculture. Ranging from subsistant farming to plantation farming, most employed and self-employed citizens work in direct or supporting agricultural jobs. Due to a low tax rate, as a result of the small government; therefore small expense, and the natural beauty of Montichellia, tourism has been a prominent industry withing the country, especially amongst the wealthy as a "tax haven." As a result of most land in Montichellia being cultivated farming land, the industrial base of the country are centralized in urban centers, which has left little space for extensive industry, leading to the large need of imported manufactured goods. Poverty in Montichellia is left unaddressed by the federal governments and state governments often neglect programs to combat poverty due to the political backlash of expanding government. A result fo this has been large income inequality amongs the plantation owners and the family farmers.
Religion
Religion in Montichellia, 2020
There is no official religion in Montichellia and the freedom of worship is a right within the nation. Despite this, religion, particularly sects of Christianity such as Mormonism, followed by Protestantism have become prominant and have acted as bases for societal and cultural structures.
