Umetuč
The United Republics of North Umetuč ([u.ˈmɛ.tʼut͡ʃ] in Tokagebač) is a federal autoritarian parliamentary republic on the northern edges of the South Sea, in the continent of Syrovoho in Sonhel. It takes its name from the island of Umetuč, of which it occupies the northern part. The current territories occupied by the United Republics of North Umetuč were firstly settled in the 10th century by the nomadic tribes who will later adopt the names of Tokagebac, Cruiniiral, Valtarans and Albionians. Umetuč shares the island with the Kingdom of Nova Albion to the south, which controls the remaining half of the island.

History
Geography
Umetuč is located on the northern half of the main island of the Tumetuč Archipelago, called Umetuč. The country is split in two sides by the Čytmekjem mountan range, which than is interrupted by the Čid̨ud̨ig valley. In the eastern peninsula there is also another mountain, detached from the Čytmekjem, called B̨ob̨ekokib. The highest peak inside Umetučite border is the Ubebro mountain which stands at around 2800 meters in the western regions of the country. The Ubebro is also the source of the only river in the Umetuč island: the B̨obočim, which untimately flows in the Blood Sea (the area of the ocean between the minor Western Umetuč Islands and the Gnawing Gulf) splitting the capital Tålakjemeqa in half. North Umetuč is located in the equatorial belt and is therefore mostly covered in a thick rainforest from the Gnawing Guld to the eastern tip of the island. It also includes, in its south-western regions, a chunk of sandy desert that covers the western coasts of the island. Normally North Umetuč experiences a wet and hot season, which lasts between three and four months, along a colder season, in which precipitaion are slightly less abundant and average temperatures decrease by a few degrees.
Politics and government
North Umetuč is a federal parlamentary republic founded in 2402 after the collapse of the Valtaran States in the Valtaran Civil War. It includes the Republic of Greater G̨enseba, the Republic of Xirakekunnae, the Republic of C'aarllaac and the New Republic of Miše. Each of the republics have their own local bicameral parliament which has to enforce federally appproved laws and directives or has the possibility to contest them and have them adapted to their territory. The republics can also enforce exclusive laws that do not conflict with already approved federal laws and that do not regard economic policies, law and order, foreign politics, production and industrial projects and national defense. The federal government, composed of the president (which since 2405 also holds executive power) and of the bicameral parliament formed by elected representatives from the republics, is a supernational entity and has the power to impose laws and rules on the republics. The parliament is elected every four years with a proportional popular vote. The president is later elected by the two chambers of parliament. The parliament can depose the current president and replace them thanks to a vote of no confidence that requires two thirds of both chambsers to pass. The president can dibandle one of the two chambers of parliament with a vote that needs 80% of the votes from the other parliament chamber.
