'''Osea''' , officially the Osean Federation, is a massive Strangereal country and international superpower located on the Osean continent. Osea encompasses a majority of the continent's western landmass and shares land borders with Belka, Ustio, and Sapin to the east and Perbla to the south. Its capital, Oured, is located on the tip of Osea's southeastern peninsula near Oured Bay.


Osea is a highly developed country that possesses a large population, an extensive infrastructure, a thriving capitalist economy, and a well-outfitted military force, the Osean Defense Forces. Osea is also considered one of the world's foremost leaders in aeronautics and space-exploration development. The country's achievements include the construction of the Strategic Orbital Linear Gun, the Arkbird (a joint program with Yuktobania), and the International Space Elevator.
Osea is the largest city in Timeria. Located in the Ishaana region along the Jade Strait. Osea is also the oldest city in Timeria being founded in 770. Osea is culturally, financially, and politically significant within Timeria and the greater Albarine Region. Osea is home to one of the world largest harbors and is connected internationally through Jade International Airport.  
 
Osea is home to many corporate headquarters and an hour flight from Mai, Timeria’s financial capital.  


By virtue of its world power, Osea held expansionist ideologies and annexed new territories throughout the 20th century. The country's aggressive nature directly resulted in major conflicts such as the Osean War, the Belkan War, and the Usean coup d'état. A rivalry also existed between Osea and Yuktobania, which led to the Cold War in the 1980s and 1990s.
==History==
Osea was founded by the clans of the Merian Union of Southern Tiemria. It was used as a middle ground for clans to meet on neutral ground as fighting between clans was prohibited by the Union. Osea's location along the Jade Strait has made it a vital center for trade and cultural exchange. The city-state has fostered strong economic ties with neighboring regions and countries, facilitating the exchange of goods, ideas, and artistic influences. Osea's merchants and traders have been renowned for their entrepreneurial spirit, driving the city-state's prosperity and establishing it as a regional economic powerhouse.


In the 21st century, especially following the election of President Vincent Harling, Osea's expansionism was curtailed and the country diminished its military power to follow a more peaceful foreign policy. Despite the Circum-Pacific War against Yuktobania, which was orchestrated by Belkan extremists as revenge for the Belkan War, this policy of peace continued into the 2010s. However, due to previous tensions and miscommunication regarding the development of the International Space Elevator, the Kingdom of Erusea declared war on Osea in 2019, leading to the Lighthouse War.
Over the following centuries, Osea experienced rapid expansion and growth as immigrants from various parts of the world arrived seeking new opportunities. The city became a melting pot of cultures, with people from different backgrounds contributing to its diverse and cosmopolitan atmosphere. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, Osea underwent significant industrialization and modernization. The rise of manufacturing, shipping, and trade industries transformed the city into a bustling economic center. The Port of Osea became a crucial gateway for Timerian exports and imports, solidifying the city's position as a vital trading hub. In the mid-20th century, Osea experienced a cultural renaissance, marked by a flourishing arts scene and the emergence of influential artists, musicians, and writers. The city's creative culture thrived, giving birth to renowned art movements, music genres, and literary works that continue to shape Timerian culture to this day.


==History==
==Geography==
===Osean War===
==Demographics==
Osea began to expand its territory by the 1900s. In 1905, this expansionism caused the outbreak of the Osean War with Belka. Over the next five years, Belka became the first country to use aircraft for warfare and create an air force; Osea followed suit by forming the Osean Air Defense Force. In 1910, Osea's eastern territories were invaded by Belka, which was seeking more land for its growing empire. After five years of brutal warfare, Osea defeated the invaders and forced them back to the Great Lakes. The two sides signed the Treaty of Oured which gave back all land Belka had taken during the war, including the Great Lakes. Osea's prestige as a world power grew after this, and how Osea was the greatest military power in the world.
==Districts==


===Cold War (1980s–1995)===
Osea is divided into twelve distinct districts, each with its own unique atmosphere and purpose. These districts contribute to the city's vibrant and diverse culture:
In the 1940s, Belka became more and more expansionist. To appease Belka, the Osean Federation allowed Belka to purchase the coveted Great Lakes region. This kept the Belkan aggression away from Osea for the next 50 years. During that time, Osea becomes one of only two superpowers on the planet. A sort of "Cold War" had developed between Osean and the second superpower, known as The Union of Yuktobanian Republics of Yuktobania. Despite a rival arms race with their neighbor across the sea, due to a sudden development in each nation's Self-Defense Initiative (SDI), both sides would agree to settle the conflict peacefully in the early 1990’s with the Belkan War, though their superpower titles were far from relinquished. During this arms race Osea was developing the Arkbird superweapon as a deterrent.


A democratic federation, Osea maintained an excellent relationship with its patriotic populace. Its enormous land area, rich in natural resources and mineral reserves, is split up into more than 30 separate provinces, though some of that land was released when Belka laid claim to the Great Lakes region of Osea in 1987, which in turn would spark a chain reaction to the events encompassing the Belkan War nearly in 1995. The Osean Federation is fairly self-sustaining, allowing a prospering capitalist economy and an extremely large middle-class.
Downtown - Known as the city's business district, Downtown Osea is characterized by towering skyscrapers, corporate headquarters, and bustling commercial activity. It serves as the financial hub of the city, attracting local and international businesses.


Osea’s military superpower is extraordinary, and remains one of the nations most intriguing features. The country operates a diverse multitude of land, air, and naval units, and also exports a great amount of its domestically produced military hardware to other nations. The "Re-armament Declaration of 1990" came into effect and reformed the entire Osean Military. Which made this military and even more effective force than it was before. Osea maintained the largest all-volunteer military in the western hemisphere, rivaled only by Yuktobania in the east; which had announced it's newest creation known as the YNS Scinfaxi class submarine aircraft carrier in 1992; a product of Yuktobania's SDI.
Selaris Avenue - This vibrant district is renowned for its entertainment offerings. It features a myriad of theaters, concert halls, clubs, and venues where artists from various disciplines showcase their talents. Selaris Avenue is a hub of artistic expression and a favorite destination for locals and tourists seeking cultural experiences.


Osea maintained alliances throughout the entire continent, which included Sapin, Ustio, Recta, and Gebet. However, the country that Osea maintained the most troubled ties with was the Belkan Federation. Belka was most interested in corporate trading with Osea. Despite being technologically advanced, Belka would often inquire with Osea on the availability of natural resources to feed its growing economy. Osea, looking to recess Belka’s pestering, handed over a small section of land to Belka with claims that it was rich in the natural resources Belka desired. This was however, only partially true. After Belka paid a significantly large sum for the disputed area, they were severely disappointed. The land had few useful raw materials, which in turn angered the Belkan Government. Silently brooding over the loss of funds to the purchase of what was effectively worthless land, Belka’s relationship with the Osean Federation began to deteriorate.
Tianshen Park - Situated near the city center, Tianshen Park is another prominent entertainment district in Osea. It offers a diverse range of recreational activities, including amusement parks, sports facilities, and cultural events. The park is a favorite gathering place for families, friends, and visitors seeking outdoor enjoyment.


===The Belkan War - (1980-1995)===
Zenil Point - Osea's largest district, Zenil Point, is dedicated to ecological preservation and sustainable practices. It features vast green spaces, nature reserves, and initiatives aimed at protecting the environment. Zenil Point provides a tranquil escape from the city's hustle and bustle, allowing residents and visitors to reconnect with nature.
The Federal Law Review sparked a massive conflict over the political situation with Belka and Osea. Belka would not forget Osea’s fleecing of the nation during their rapid government change. Following a largely ignored massive military build-up, Belka attacked Osea’s eastern borders in a lightning strike, or blitzkrieg.


Woodcrest - As the largest residential district in Osea, Woodcrest is home to a significant portion of the city's population. It offers a mix of housing options, ranging from cozy suburban homes to luxurious apartment complexes. Woodcrest is known for its leafy neighborhoods, community parks, and a strong sense of community.


In turn, the Osean Federation was a major military player versus the Belkan Federation during the war in 1995. Belka invaded its northeastern theaters via blitzkrieg on March 25th, enraging the enormous superpower nation and pushing it into defensive military action. Fighting back with ferocity and near ruthlessness, the Osean military subsided the Belkan advance within less than a month, stalemating the threat forces at Area B7R. Unfortunately the same could not be said for the Federation’s allies, who were rapidly overrun and had to rely on hired mercenaries to supplement their dwindling military forces. Whereas the world’s western superpower, Yuktobania, offered mostly logistics, some deployment troops, as well as command & control equipment to the war effort, the Osean Federation was able commit large amounts of manpower and essential combat equipment to the front lines, greatly assisting the smaller nations of Ustio and Sapin currently standing off with the invading forces.
The remaining seven districts, including Harmony Heights, Lakeview, Crescent Gardens, Evergreen Terrace, Sapphire Bay, Amber Hills, and Skyline Ridge, are primarily residential areas that contribute to the city's diverse and vibrant neighborhoods.


==Economy==
Osea boasts a dynamic and diverse economy that drives both local and national growth. While international trade plays a significant role, the city has also established itself as a major player in the entertainment industry, contributing to its economic vibrancy and cultural significance.


The Belkan decision to invade the great superpower of the Osean Federation is seen as an extremely bold move. Despite advancements in combat technology and superb military training, Belka’s military capability in comparison to the Osean Federation is extremely limited, despite official reports. With Belka possessing far smaller numbers and still using near-antiquated military equipment, the Osean Federation military, consisting of advanced air, land, and sea forces, statistically would have the ability to roll over the Belkan forces in a short period of time. However, lapses in military equipment such as the Osean ADEZ coastal laser air defense system, would catch the superpower off guard for the Belkan advance's advantage.
===International Trade and Port of Osea===
Osea's economy is deeply intertwined with international trade, thanks to its strategic location along the Jade Strait. The city is home to the renowned Port of Osea, which serves as a vital gateway for Timerian exports and imports. Approximately 25% of Timerian trade travels through the port, making it a crucial hub for commerce and establishing Osea as a pivotal maritime trading center.


===Era of Peace (1996-2019)===
The Port of Osea handles a diverse range of goods, including manufactured products, agricultural commodities, and raw materials. Its modern infrastructure, state-of-the-art facilities, and efficient logistics operations ensure the smooth movement of goods, attracting domestic and international businesses to engage in trade activities.
In 1996, Osea signed a bilateral agreement with Yuktobania that officially ended the Cold War. The treaty signing compelled the survivors of the OADF's Wizard Squadron to plot the Osean president's assassination, but they were either killed or arrested by Osean Special Ops.
On April 20, 1996, the Federation of Central Usea announced the existence of the Ulysses 1994XF04 which was to strike the Usean continent (and, later discovered, the Anean continent). Refugees began immigrating out of Usea; Osea's capital, Oured, accepted the largest number of refugees compared to other cities. Osea expressed desire to assist Usea in building Stonehenge but could not due to post-Belkan War reconstruction. The next year, a group of southern Usean countries decided to join the Osean Federation. Despite backlash from their neighbors, Osea extended an offer of military allegiance known as the Spring Sea Treaty. On May 30, 1997, the day the treaty was to be signed, an extremist terrorist organization took control of the entire continent, resulting in the Usean coup d'état.


===Entertainment Industry===
Osea's significance in the entertainment industry cannot be understated. The city has emerged as a thriving hub for artists, filmmakers, musicians, and performers, contributing to the creative pulse of Timeria. With a vibrant arts scene and a wide range of entertainment options, Osea has garnered a reputation as a cultural hotspot and a center for creative expression.


The most significant contribution of the Osean military to the war effort was embodied in Offensive Campaign No.4101, enacted on April 24th, 1995. The operation’s primary objective was to secure and occupy the Futuro Canal, at the time fully under the control of South Belka. With the completion and deployment of the first combat capable CVN-30 Hubert-Class Aircraft Carrier, the Kestrel, the Osean Navy, with support from Osean Air Force and Allied mercenary fighters, began their own blitz on Belka with the ultimate objective of taking and holding South Belka. This campaign consisted of three simultaneous attacks on the canal, catching the Belkans totally off guard and allowing the rapid advance against the enemy.
====Film and Television====
Osea has a strong presence in the film and television industry, with a host of renowned studios and production companies calling the city home. Synamatic Studios, one of the largest film studios in Timeria, is headquartered in Osea. The city's favorable filming locations, skilled production crews, and supportive infrastructure have attracted domestic and international filmmakers to shoot their projects in Osea.


With the liberation of the Ustio capital city, Directus, Osea played a major hand in the fall of Strategic Airspace B7R. Despite the Osean Air Force remaining on the defensive until the arrival of the 66th Ustio Tactical Fighter Squadron, the majority of the fighter aircraft taking part in the battle were deployed from the Osean Air Defense Force and Navy. Within hours after the arrival of critical reinforcements, the Allied Forces succeeded in securing B7R, resulting in another massive offensive against the Belkan Federation.
====Music and Performing Arts====
Osea's music scene is a melting pot of diverse genres and talented artists. The city has nurtured numerous Timerian musicians who have achieved national and international acclaim. Osea's concert halls, music venues, and performance spaces regularly host live music events, showcasing both established and emerging talent. Nestled in the vibrant Selaris Avenue district, SoulSound Club is a popular destination for live music enthusiasts. This intimate venue offers an eclectic mix of genres, including jazz, blues, soul, and indie music. The cozy atmosphere and talented local acts make it a favorite spot among music lovers. Located in the scenic Zenil Point district, the open-air Stardust Amphitheater offers a unique setting for outdoor performances. Surrounded by lush greenery and overlooking the sparkling waters of the Jade Strait, this enchanting venue hosts concerts, ballet performances, and theatrical events, providing an unforgettable experience under the starry skies.


Belka’s loss of B7R was seeming as a heavy blow; Belkan cities began demilitarizing and surrendering to the Allied Forces, and the Allied Nations and Belkan officials began discussing the openings of peace talks. But as a final act of defiance toward the Allied Nations, Belkan fighter bombers released seven tactical nuclear warheads on the border between North and South Belka on June 6th, 1995. This scared and scarred both sides into submission, but only for a split-moment. Osea continued an advance while Belka pondered seriously over the opening of the peace dialogue. The talks were finally ratified and commenced late in 1995.
====Theater and Performing Arts====
Osea is renowned for its vibrant theater scene, with a plethora of theaters and performance venues staging a wide variety of productions. From classic plays to experimental performances, the city offers a rich tapestry of theatrical experiences. The Osea Theater Festival, held annually, attracts theater enthusiasts from across the country and beyond.


Osea proposed many one-sided amendments that Belka unfortunately had no choice but to accept. This included a massive reduction in military power, the immediate withdrawal of all Belkan forces from foreign nations, and the annexation of South Belka to Osean control, which was proven to be the greatest loss Belka has ever sustained. With this annexation also resulted in the loss of Belka’s foremost advanced weapons research and manufacturing corporation, Grunder Industries, and the South Belka Munitions Plant, which supplied 40% of the Belkan military with its essential combat equipment.
====Job Opportunities and Economic Growth====
Osea's prominence in the entertainment industry creates a wealth of job opportunities and stimulates economic growth. The presence of studios, production companies, and associated businesses not only provides direct employment to artists and performers but also generates a significant number of jobs in supporting industries.


These talks resulted in the officially released conclusion of the Belkan War. However, Belka was not through yet; however, in this new crisis, it wasn't about a nation's interests, but anit-national ones. A coup d’etat by senior officers of the Belkan military would extend the conflict for several more months of alleged void. “A World With No Boundaries”, an organization designed to topple the geopolitical status of the world and plunging it into a dystopian state called 'Zero', went on to combat the Allied Nations, however by this time, much of the combat missions were handed over to Ustio mercenary forces, which would discover that the Coup included forces from many nations, including Osea.
The entertainment sector in Osea supports various occupations, including actors, directors, producers, screenwriters, technicians, musicians, dancers, and many more. Additionally, the industry's ripple effect extends to areas such as hospitality, tourism, catering, event management, and marketing, further enhancing the city's economic landscape.


===Creation of the Arkbird===
Osea's robust entertainment industry attracts a steady stream of visitors, both domestic and international, who contribute to the local economy through tourism-related activities. The city's reputation as a cultural and entertainment destination ensures a constant flow of visitors, benefiting hotels, restaurants, retail establishments, and other service-oriented businesses.
Following the Ulysses Impact Event in July 1999, the remaining meteors stuck in Earth's atmosphere became a threat to satellites along with the potential that they could strike outside of Usea and Anea. Osea decided, with Yuktobania's assistance, to create the Arkbird out of the "maneuverable orbiting spacecraft" concept from the Strategic Defense Initiative in the 1980s. The Arkbird was outfitted with a laser on top to destroy Ulysses fragments, which could not physically attack anything below the spacecraft. By 2008, the Arkbird had already vaporized over 80% of the remaining Ulysses fragments. In cooperation with other countries, Osea and Yuktobania also proposed an International Space Station.


===International affairs===
In summary, Osea's economy is fueled not only by its strategic position in international trade but also by its thriving entertainment industry.

In 2004, Vincent Harling was elected as the 48th President of the Osean Federation. Throughout his first term, Harling's peace policies strengthened Osea's ties to Yuktobania and led to the creation of Basset Space Center. In 2008, Harling was reelected to a second term. That year, Osea hosted the G7 Summit aboard the Arkbird. Osea personally invited the provisional government of Erusea to help promote peace on the Usean continent. The meeting saw a historic push to ratify several anti-proliferation treaties, including a Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty and a Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. The move was seen as a further strengthening of bonds between Osea and Yuktobania, as well as the nations of the world.

==Government==
On May 15, 2019, the Kingdom of Erusea declared war on the Osean Federation, using drones to attack multiple ports across the Osean mainland and sinking numerous Osean aircraft carriers. Shortly afterward, Erusea also took control of the International Space Elevator and both Arsenal Birds. In retaliation, the aircraft carrier Kestrel II launched a failed assault on Farbanti, during which, Osean aircraft caused civilian casualties, resulting in international distaste towards Osea. Erusea soon after gained control over the majority of the Usean continent. Attempting to counterattack, Osea launched a failed two-front offensive involving a second Farbanti assault and Operation Dual Wielder.


With their strategies proving fruitless, Osea opted to rescue its former president, Vincent Harling, who was touring the space elevator when it was captured. During the rescue operation, Mother Goose One was shot down by an aircraft identifying as Osean. Afterward, the IUN court-martialled Trigger for allegedly killing Harling and sentenced him to serve in the penal unit Spare Squadron. Over the next few months, Spare participated in many near-suicide missions, crippling Erusean bases, drone fuel supplies, and communications facilities. Following their successes, Spare was recognized as a legitimate Osean Air Defense Force squadron.
