Fresian Confederacy The Fresian Confederacy is located in Eastern Olivacia, Anteria and shares a border with Zurmava, Frisia-Hollandia, Sakura-tochi. The national capital city of the Fresian Confederacy is Seafort, with the royal capital city being in Kenakû where the Royal family has been residing since 1812. Other metropolitan areas in the Fresian Confederacy include but are not limited to; Immisteed, Tropskiven, Havlân, and Eilaven.

The Fresian Confederacy is a formidable power on the east side of Olivacia with both a strong military and many trade networks internationally. After the Red Revolt, the private sector had experienced slow growth in the economy as lighter restrictions were passed for businesses and international trade. The Fresian Confederacy is one of the biggest providers of commodity goods and natural resources. The Wall Street Republic has made moderate contributions to science and technology, with major prioritization of creating trading networks to set the Fresian Confederacy as one of the leading trading partners in the world. Fresian Confederacy's Human Development Index is considered very high with an average life expectancy of 80 years old.

Etymology

Internationally, the Fresian Confederacy’s citizens are known as Fresians, the reasoning behind the FC’s name when the name Fresia started to appear in the 1810s as anti-monarchy revolutionaries looked for a name to separate them from the Muorre Strjitte Ryk. Ultimately combining Free and Frisia and coming up with Fresia. When the revolutionaries won the The Revolution of 1812, they all came together as a Confederation and declared themselves the Fresian Confederacy.

History

Prehistory

The first signs of humans related to the Wall Street Republic can be traced back to 600 BC when Frisians and Germanics moved into the eastern part of Oliviacia and started to form a mixed cultural sphere. This cultural sphere was acknowledged and known by settlers as Eastfryslân. Not much is written down about these early years, but what is known is that they settled into small communities around 500-400 BC and grew gradually into provinces around 150 BC-50 AD.

Muorre Strjitte Age

In 1250 AD, the princes and lords of Eastfryslân gather in a chamber to discuss an alliance between the realm. Alexander Hearsen has gathered all the lords of the land to try to convince them to become one big kingdom. This struck many lords’ interest and many came personally while others sent their princes to the meeting, the alliance proposed a military pact to those who joined as well as a trade union for its merchant members. Most of the realm signed in and formed the Muorre Strjitte Alliânsje.

This alliance did indeed become something bigger like Alexander had promised, as the alliance pushed further eastward towards Eastlikmar. They opened many ports, notable ones being Tropskiven and Havlân. In 1500 AD all the lords and nobles collectively came together and unanimously voted to become a true empire, instead of an alliance. They renamed themselves the Muorre Strjitte Ryk with Lady Fenja Hearsen as the royal figurehead of the empire. This kingdom flourished in trade and expansion on both land and sea.

Gewoan Maitiid Age

In 1812, revolutionaries known as the Free Frisian Army overthrew the monarchy. The FFA renamed the country as Fresia and was split into 2 parties, Democratic and Republican. 78 years later, they would form into the Confederation of Fresia, having more smaller parties under the two powerhouses in Fresian politics which is becoming bigger and bigger as the nation was modernizing and forming a more unified culture as a whole.

1870 marked the start of the Gilded Period, where unprecedented economic prosperity and corruption grew until 1920. During this time period, corporations and trust companies rose to power both economically and politically, as major republicans and other major politicians were bribed by big companies to allow them to control the market without legal repercussions. This went on unnoticed by the general public until a news magazine came out of a news outlet called the Seafort News which set off a chain reaction that lead to the creation of the Miller Act named after Henry Miller who was the main composer of the new Anti-Trust Bill which set minimal prices for products and fees, opened the Ministry of Domestic Defence and gave more power to the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Domestic Affairs to investigate and hold a Corrupgeprof for any official assisting a monopoly or is holding personal benefits over country.

1930 marked a recession when the Seafort Stock Exchange Market lost 10% in during February and then another 30% during March. Though only a few dozen stockbroker lost money, those stockbroker were mostly big business owners and when they lost money, they cut worker wages and relieved workers. This caused a panic in the general public in consumerism and soon the economy was rolling into a recession. Before the recession became a depression, the government stepped in and passed bills that aided in helping the middle class from going into poverty while also aiding big businesses by opening up government contracts at set prices so that businesses don’t compete against each other and snowball the economy out of control.

Throughout Fresia’s existence there have been socialist, never had been really popular until the first industrial blume in 1780. During 1930, a Socialist revolution known as the Red Revolt broke out due to worker abuse, layoffs and cut wages. This revolt lasted for a couple years before it was shattered by the Fresian government. All this violence and terror all accumulated to the Red Scare, which allowed the government to suppress most right wing parties and activities with little public opposition until the 2000s because the general public was now afraid of the right wing extremist and socialists due to the amount of bloodshed that had happened during the Red Revolt.

Geography

Politics

The Fresian Confederacy is a Constitutional Monarchy where the monarch has been reduced to a figure head or until 1990, held provincial power like a mayor but still is able to act like a monarch. Elected PM George Clinton is the current leader of the Fresian Confederacy with Chief of Staff Nate Webley.

The Fresian Confederacy follows a democratic voting system called Trigstinepas which requires any law or legislation to be pass through the House of Representatives, Hall of Governors, and the Chamber of Ministers in that order and pass with 51% of the members having voted for it.

The Fresian Confederacy’s legislative body is a Tricameral Parliamentary system which consists of the House of Representatives that has 251 seats and is elected by popular vote using a single transferable vote system every 4 years. The Hall of Governors which consists of all the mayors and governors that is recognized by the Fresian Confederacy and is elected through popular vote using a single transferable vote system every 2 years. The Chamber of Ministers which consists of all the ministers of different departments of state and also includes the royal family and Chief of Staff. The office of Prime Minister holds executive power over the whole country and it’s politics, and is elected through elections by popular vote using a Two-Round vote system where the top two candidates of the first election get to move on to the second election while everyone else is eliminated from the election. There is also a system called Corrupgeprof that can remove anyone from office if the one in question is found guilty of any corruption or treason charges.

There are many political factions in the Fresian Confederacy, but the major political powerhouses are the Fresian Democratic Party and the Republican Conservatives Party ever since 1812. Though these powerhouses are big on their own, coalitions and back door deals have been happening ever since the 1900s, some of the parties recognized by Fresians are:
