Unified Sera, officially known as the The United States of Sera (Syra'yte doh Pro'ven Uso) is a federal constitutional monarchy located on the Adula continent in the Coalition of Crown Albatross. It shares land borders with Peoratia and Buckingla, and it also shares maritime borders with Austrolis and Timeria along the southwestern arm of the Albarine Sea and the Sea of Austrolis. Geographically, Unified Sera has a sizeable coastline in the Sea of Austrolis with several beaches, dockyards, and shipping ports that extend Seran commerce into the greater world.
The capital of Kito’Bahari (‘’the Ocean’s Jewel’’) is located in the Seran state of Kado near the northwestern portion of the country. The capital is home to the Palace of Kings; the official residence and seat of power of the monarch which lies within the ancient homeland of the Koga tribespeople. The other branches of government are split between the ancestral homelands of the other tribes with the legislative branch located in the Latinius home of Aeminium, the judicial in the Mbaku homeland of Anansi, and the executive in the Sakhile’s origin Shaka. The separation of the 4 parts of Sera’s government was an integral part to Sera’s founding. The Quadrumvirate desired a unified country where they would all be equals and therefore placed each branch of government in the four tribes that made up what would become Sera.
The majority of Unified Sera’s GDP comes from the manufacturing, arms manufacturing, agriculture, and technology industries.

Pre-Discovery (10,000 B.C.E.-1700 A.D.)
Human development and migration
Early civilizations
The area that would become Sera was originally settled by migrant peoples sailing from parts of ancient Timeria to the continent of Adula. These peoples would eventually settle the inlands, highlands, valleys, and coastline and establish their own cultures and tribes. Chief among these tribes were the prevailing ideation of the ancestors that came before and a deep-seated desire to expand. The tribes that would arise are the Latinius, Koga, Mbaku, and Sakhile.
The Koga people took up residence in the north-western portion of the continent. The Koga, a deeply religious tribe with strong family units, revered the god Tiyamike and the sky. This is due to their close connection with agriculture and farming, which allowed the Koga to settle the land they lived upon and build.

United States of Sera Army
The United States of Sera Army, also called the Unified Sera Army, US Army, and Seran Army is a branch of the Seran military beneath the High Command of the Armed Forces and Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee. The US Army is headed by the Chief of the Army, a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the highest ranking army officer. The US Army was officially established on June 7th, 1736 by the Quadrumvirate in the present day capital of Kito'Bahari in response to growing external threats to the Union of Seran Tribes. Before the establishment of a national army, each state in the Seran Union provided their own troops and commanders for national defense. These commanders were prone to disagreements with each other, while soldiers from different tribes would routinely fight amongst themselves due to cultural differences. The Quadrumvirate sought to nullify the worst offenders by removing them from their position and sending them to prison to avoid possible coups against the Quadrumvirate. Soon thereafter, new commanders were appointed from within the tribes to take their place with a particular focus on unification and standardization over individualization and cultural differences.
Originally, the US Army handled both peacekeeping tasks domestically within the first tribal states while also juggling the demands of protecting the borders around the fledgling country from the neighboring violent tribes of ancient Adula. The Quadrumvirate, fearing nepotism, instituted a system amongst Sera's warriors that rewarded soldiers with prestige, wealth, and position for accomplishing certain tasks. These tasks included bringing the heads of enemy war-leaders, scalps, securing weaponry, repelling attacks, and spear-heading successful raids against enemy territories. Due to the ferocity at which Seran warriors pursued enemy heads and scalps, a reputation began to grow amongst their neighbors surrounding Seran brutality in war.
This reputation continued to grow as the Union of Sera entered into a war with the neighboring Nafuni Ze'teca Tribe known as the Seran-Ze'teca Extermination War. The conflict broke out when the Nafuni Ze'teca tribe crossed the Adula Mountains and entered into the Mbaku controlled tribe-lands. The Ze'teca immediately began to pillage and destroy any villages they came across and murdered any Seran inhabitants they captured. The newly formed national army was dispatched to combat the Ze'tecas. The Seran Army clashed several times over the next four years with the Ze'tecas; each time the officers in charge of the Seran soldiers ordered that no mercy be shown. Eventually, this harsh treatment of the Ze'teca would lead to the near total annihilation of the Nafuni Ze'teca nation as the Seran Army chased them across the mountains into their homeland. Although victorious, the Quadrumvirate quickly did away with the practice of rewarding soldiers for heads and scalps, partially due to the shame of nearly committing genocide.
