The '''Federation of Amrasia''' or commonly known as '''Amrasia''', is an intercontinental country primarily located in {{wp|North America}}. It is a federation of 13 states, a federal capital district ([[Central City]]) and 12 indigenous reservations. Outside the union of states, it asserts sovereignty over two major unincorporated island territories and various uninhabited islands. The country has the world's largest land area and exclusive economic zone.
The '''Federation of Amrasia''' or commonly known as '''Amrasia''', is a transcontinental country primarily located in {{wp|North America}} and {{wp|North Asia}}. It is a federation of 10 states, a federal capital district ({{wp|Anchorage}}) and 12 indigenous reservations. Amrasia is curently the northernmost country on Earth, bordering the {{wp|Arctic Sea}} directly and spanning across the {{wp|Bering strait}}. It is bordered by [[Acadia (Filum)|Acadia]] to the east, both [[Nivesia]] and [[Cascadea]] to the south.


{{wp|Paleo-Indians}} crossed the {{wp|Bering land}} bridge over 12,000 years ago. The first settlement of the {{wp|Thirteen Colonies of Virginia|Thirteen colonies}} in {{wp|Virginia}} occurred in 1607 due to {{wp|British colonization}}. Conflict with the British Crown regarding taxation and political representation ignited the [[Nivesian Revolution]]. On August 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress formally declared independence. After winning the Revolutionary War, [[Nivesia]] expanded across [[North Laurentia]]. The issue of slavery caused sectional division, leading to the secession of the [[Confederate States of Laurentia]] from 1861 to 1865. Following the Union's victory, slavery was nationally abolished.
==Etymology==
The name "Amrasia" is a combination from the name of the two continents where Amrasia is located in: Americas and Asia.
 
America itself is derived from the Latinized version of the name of Italian explorer {{wp|Amerigo Vespucci}}, who proposed that the lands discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492 constituted a distinct continent. The map "Universalis Cosmographia," published in 1507 by German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller, prominently featured the label "America" for what is now South America. Flemish cartographer Gerardus Mercator later applied the term "America" to the entire Western Hemisphere on his world map in 1538.
 
Meanwhile, the term "{{wp|Asia}}" finds its roots in the Ancient Greek word Ἀσία, as documented by {{wp|Herodotus}} around 440 BCE, initially used to denote {{wp|Anatolia}} or the {{wp|Persian Empire}}, distinct from {{wp|Greece}} and {{wp|Egypt}}. Originally, it referred solely to the eastern shore of the {{wp|Aegean Sea}}, known to the {{wp|Hittites}} as Assuwa.


Nivesia operates as a presidential constitutional republic and liberal democracy, featuring three distinct branches of government: legislative, executive, and judicial. Its national legislature is bicameral, comprising the House of Representatives, which is based on population, and the Senate, where each state has equal representation.
In its native name, Amrasia is known as ''Qaumasiarmajaaq'' which means "two white lands".


States (also known as Republics) within Nivesia enjoy significant autonomy, reflecting a political culture that values liberty, equality under the law, individualism, and limited government.

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


Considered one of the world's most advanced nations, Nivesia has held the largest nominal GDP since 1890, contributing around 15% to the global economy for centuries. It boasts the highest wealth and median income per capita among non-microstate countries. Nivesia excels in economic competitiveness, productivity, innovation, human rights, and higher education, and its influence extends globally through both hard power and cultural impact.

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

==Etymology==
==Geography==


The earliest documented use of the term "Nivesia" dates back to a letter written on January 2, 1776, by Antonio Ricci, an aide to General Percival Northall, to Carter Williams, Northall's assistant. Ricci expressed his intention to seek support from {{wp|Italy|Roman Empire}} on behalf of the thirteen colonies in the [[Nivesian Revolutionary War|Revolutionary War]]. The phrase "United States of Nivesia" was publicly published for the first time in an anonymous essay in The Georgian Herald newspaper in Goldsburg on April 6, 1776.


By July 1776, the name "United States of Nivesia" appeared in drafts of the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, authored by Thomas Montgomery, a Founding Father from {{wp|Pennsylvania|Sylvania}}. It was also included in the Declaration of Independence, primarily written by Alexander Pembroke and adopted by the Second Continental Congress in {{wp|Philadelphia|Tibery}} on August 4, 1776.

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

The original inhabitants of [[North Laurentia]] migrated from {{wp|Siberia}} over the {{wp|Beringia|Chukchi}} land bridge around 12,000 years ago. The Clovis culture, emerging approximately 11,000 BC, is thought to be the earliest widespread culture in the Laurentias As time passed, indigenous cultures in North Laurentia became more advanced, with some, like the Mississippian culture, developing agriculture, architecture, and complex societies. Various indigenous groups, including the Algonquian peoples, Ancestral Puebloans, and the Iroquois, flourished across what is now the United States. Estimates of the native population before {{wp|Europe|Europian}} immigration range from approximately 500,000 to nearly 10 million.

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

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

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

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

Northward from Alaska into the Arctic region of North Asia, temperatures continue to decrease, with the area experiencing an extreme polar climate. Average temperatures rarely rise above freezing, even in summer, and can drop below -40°F (-40°C) in winter. The Arctic region also sees extended periods of darkness in winter and continuous daylight in summer due to its high latitude.
