'''Gallicelèstia''', officially the '''Technocratic Republic of Gallicelèstia''' (Gallian: Repubblica Gallicelèstiana Tecnocratica), is a country located in Northern Eacas, situated between the Arelian Sea and the Gulf of Celèstia. It consists of a wide isthmus and two major islands. It is delimited by the Lecardian Mountains in the north. Gallicelèstia is a biodiversity hotspot with unique biomes, plant, and animal life. | |||
With a population of approximately 769 million (2224), Gallicelèstia is the most populous nation in Eacas and the third-most populous country on Astrius. Gallicelèstia's capital and largest city is Nuovo Faro with an approximate population of 45.2 million (2224). 37.15% of the Gallicelèstian population are White Gallicelèstians (Tenebrisian Gallicelèstians). Of the remaining population, 36.93% are Colored Gallicelèstians (multiracial Gallicelèstians), 21.11% are Black Gallicelèstian, and 4.81% are Nazderan Gallicelèstians. The Gallicelèstian society is diverse and multiethnic. | |||
Akin to other Eacan nations, Gallicelèstia's history has been shaped by instability and the vestiges of colonialism. The emergence of the Gallicelèstian Unity Party post-independence from Gallia in 1959 was precipitated by the institutionalization of racial segregation in 1946. Discriminatory laws and practices persisted for decades, causing a prolonged struggle for racial equality and social justice initiated by the Gallicelèstian Liberty Congress and other anti-Separazza activists within and outside Gallicelèstia's borders. | |||
In the mid-1980s, the repeal of segregationist laws, regulations, and policy began. With the signing of the constitution of the Gallicelèstian Presidential Republic, the formerly disenfranchised Black Gallicelèstians were granted voting rights in 1992. The anti-Separazza movement has been central to Gallicelèstia's history, reflecting the broader struggle for political representation and empowerment in the post-colonial world. After 1992, all ethnic and linguistic groups held political representation in a liberal presidential republic. | |||
Historians argue that the Gallicelèstian Presidential Republic was an anomaly in Eacas for its relative progressivism. The First Republic expended significant efforts to reconcile the multiethnic society post-Separazza and address the widespread socioeconomic inequality. | |||
A terrorist attack perpetrated by fascist elements jolted the nation in 2002. This precipitated the Savior Act, enabling law enforcement authorities and intelligence agencies to expand and enhance their surveillance capabilities. This started the “Gallicelèstian War on Terrorism”. | |||
In 2026, a whistleblower exposed that electoral fraud permitted right-wing nationalist Valentina Altadonna's to become the president of Gallicelèstia; she was elected in 2024. This revelation sparked the Gallicelèstian Spring, a period of heightened social tensions and intranational conflict, which ultimately ended when the military assumed power until new elections were held in 2027, observed and monitored by independent international parties. | |||
The environmental policies of the national governments were insufficient, resulting in the first climate-induced migration crisis by 2030. Famines and droughts in Eacas caused an estimated minimum of ten million people to seek asylum in Gallicelèstia between 2030 and 2035. The influx of refugees with diverse ethnic backgrounds, many of whom had been embroiled in conflicts, engendered social unrest. The refugee crisis and related issues led to President Kagiso Mlinga's electoral victory in 2035. In an effort to secure the Gallicelèstian borders and counter illegal immigration, the Mlinga administration erected barricades that have since been significantly enhanced. | |||
In 2039, the legal framework, ''Protection of the Economy and the People Act'', was passed, impeding illegal immigration and shifting toward a protectionist economic doctrine. It is noteworthy that due to the lack of international legal recognition of climate refugees, they were regarded as illegal immigrants. | |||
Several million refugees attempted to migrate to Gallicelèstia during the second climate migration crisis, which started in 2041. However, more than 90% of the refugees were denied entry into the country as they either lacked documentation or a recognized refugee status. It has been estimated that at least 500,000 people died while attempting to cross the Gallicelèstian border illegally. | |||
Despite the efforts of right-wing governments to curb the influx of refugees, the social tensions continued to escalate and reached levels unprecedented since 1991 by 2051. As a result, Gallicelèstia held a successful referendum in 2054 and established the world's first AI government in 2055. | |||
Seeking to mitigate social unrest, the government governed by artificial intelligence, colloquially known as the Second Regime, implemented measures disproportionately affecting individuals not of colonial descent. These measures included restrictions on reproductive rights, forced displacement, and capital punishment for those opposing the government. The enforced sterilization and termination of pregnancies among individuals of non-colonial ancestry significantly impacted the demographic composition of Gallicelèstia. | |||
The year 2085 marked the conclusion of a five-year-long Civil War, resulting in the overthrow of the Second Regime with assistance from Edrethia and other nations. | |||
The constitution of the Second Republic of Gallicelèstia was officially adopted and enforced in 2085. The Second Republic operated as a bicameral parliamentary democracy. In 2086, the Reparations Bill was enacted to redress the damages inflicted upon the nation, particularly those affecting individuals of non-colonial descent, during the Second Regime. | |||
In 2089, the nation committed to achieving "Zero Carbon Emissions" within 20 years. The preceding years, marked by conflicts over territory, resources, and the escalating climate crisis had generated new refugee crises during the rule of the Second Regime. However, only a limited number of individuals had attempted to seek refuge in Gallicelèstia during that period. Subsequently, starting from 2092, several million people sought to cross the Gallicelèstian border, to escape ecological collapse, conflict, and persecution. During the decade, the Second Republic saw the resurgence of nationalist rhetoric movements, which has been partially attributed to the Second Republic’s insufficient protection of its borders. The Gallicelèstian Civil War had resulted in the partial destruction of the border walls. | |||
In 2103, a collaborative initiative by centrist and leftist political entities materialized in the form of the Technocratic Referendum, securing a decisive majority of 63.5% in favor. This plebiscite laid the groundwork for the institutionalization of expert rule within Gallicelèstia. Since then, the Technocratic Council has been entrusted with the governance of the nation. Council members undergo a meticulous and intricate testing process, wherein they must exhibit diverse skills and expertise. | |||
The Technocratic Council holds the responsibility of electing the formal head of government, referred to as the Chairperson, customarily the person who has received the highest testing score. Currently, Chairwoman Lucilla Santoro occupies the position of the head of government. | |||
In a distinct electoral procedure, the populace of Gallicelèstia participates in the selection of the head of state, referred to as the Senator. The Senator's role is primarily symbolic, unless exigent circumstances necessitate the endowment of substantial powers. At present, Senator Altros Spirantus fulfills the role of the head of state. | |||
Gallicelèstia is a highly developed country, ranking 8th in the Human Development Index. It commands the third-largest nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP) globally and excels in key indicators such as life expectancy, quality of life, healthcare, and education. The nation's prominence extends beyond its domestic achievements, as it assumes a significant role in shaping regional and global dynamics across economic, military, cultural, and diplomatic spheres. | |||
Gallicelèstia, recognized as a great power, plays a pivotal role in both regional and global affairs. Its influence is underscored by active participation as a leading member of the United Nations of Astrius, a forum that amplifies its diplomatic engagement and contributes to the formulation of international policies. Moreover, Gallicelèstia's distinguished status as a scientific superpower is evidenced by its enduring contributions to various fields, further solidifying its position as a global hub for science and technology. The nation's historical trajectory reinforces its reputation as a pioneering force in the scientific realm. Gallicelèstia's enduring influence and substantial contributions have rendered it a cornerstone in the global landscape of scientific and technological advancements. | |||
