  3. Federative is the term used in Ornivia in reference to the Federation Government to avoid confusion with Federal Member-States, it is synonyms with Federal.
  4. The November ceasefire is attributed to be the end of the war, however the formal peace treaty was signed on 27th August 1964.

Ornivia, offically known as the Ornivian Federation, is a country in Southeast Elisia. It is situated on the coast of the Marlos Ocean and covers an area of 853,506 square kilometers (329,540 square miles), and has a population of just over 120 million within its 25 Member-States and Federal District. Ornivia borders Orinoccov and Koparfljot, and has a maritime border with Socialist Platypus and Fendiralia. The nation's capital is the Ornivian Federative District, located geographically within Minervia City, which is Ornivia's largest city.

Ornivia is a Federative Parliamentary Republic, including two separate legislative bodies. It is a highly developed, high-income Social Market Economy (known as Ornivian Capitalism in Ornivia); it ranks high in human development, quality of life, income, wealth, education, economic competitiveness, infrastructure development, human and civil rights, and ranks low in income inequality, preceived corruption and crime. Ornivia also has a universal healthcare system and a welfare state.

Etymology

The original origin of the term "Ornivia" is currently unknown, and has been suggested the name has a relation to the name for the neighboring country of Orinoccov. The name was used historically by all peoples of continental Ornivia to describe the region that they inhabited and shared, however the geographic boundaries of this region fluctuated throughout history, and the origin of its usage has not been determined.

Also given the name Ornivia is the Ornivian Eagle, which inhabits almost all of the Ornivian region, and is the national animal of Ornivia today and is shown on the nation's coat of arms. It is unknown whether the region was named after the eagle, or the eagle was named after the region.

Ornivian was first used in an offical capacity by the Ornivian Empire (1124-1621), however after the Imperial Collapse the term Ornivian fell out of use until the 19th Century, when academics began to re-use the term for all people groups living in Ornivia (largely based on the people's and territories of former Imperial lands), though its usage in that regard was suppressed until after the Spring of Ornivia

After the Spring of Ornivia, there was a sharp increase in the usage of the term Ornivian in reference to that of all people living within the region. The name was first used on an official basis for the first time since the 15th Century in 1968, with the Pan-Ornivian Congress. The name was chosen by the Treaty of Federation Conferences in 2015 to be the planned federation's official name.

Government and Politics

Ornivia is a Federative (Federal), Parliamentary, Representative Democratic Republic. It is made up of 25 Member-States and 1 District. In the Ornivian Political System, Citizens of the Ornivian Federation are subject to the Federative Government, Member-State Governments/District Administration, and local Government (Which is a vague term as Member-States can have many to no internal divisions. The Ornivian Federative District has no internal divisions). The basic structure and duties of Federative Governance is defined in the Treaty of Federation, which acts as the Federation's Constitution and its basic laws. To amend the Treaty of Federation, both bodies of the legislature must support the changes with a 3/5th majority, followed by scrutiny from the Supreme Court to ensure that it does not alter the Unchangeable Articles of the Treaty. It will then pass to the President, who must organise a national referendum before ratification, of which they approve or disapprove based on the referendum result.

The Executive is made of two halves, the Office of the President and the Federative Government. The Office of the President is made up of the President and their support staff. The President of the Ornivian Federation, currently Kevin Hartley, is the Head of State, and is elected by a direct election using the instant-runoff method every 5 years with no term limit. The President does not head the cabinet, nor are they apart of the Federative Government, but can attend cabinet meetings (among numerous other powers and responsibilities) and is the commander-in-chief of the nation's armed forces. The Federative Government is the principle executive of Ornivia. It is headed by the Chancellor of the Ornivian Federation, currently James Hathson, who is the Head of Government. The Chancellor and their cabinet is chosen by, and are themselves from, Parliament after every election, and are confirmed by the President. The cabinet is made up of the heads of Federative Ministries and others and are responsible for the day to day running of the Federation.

Legislative Power is vested in two unicameral bodies in an unequal relationship. The cabinet is responsible to the Parliament of the Ornivian Federation, which is made up of 700 Members of the Federative Parliament (MFPs), which represent 700 constituencies within the Federation. They are elected in direct elections every 5 years using the instant-runoff electoral method. The Council of the Ornivian Federation is a body of 25 seats made up of a differing number of members which is loosely based on population. These members are selected by the governments of the 25 Member-States. The Council has far fewer powers and responsibilities when compared to Parliament.

The Judicial Branch is made up of the Supreme Court of the Ornivian Federation and lower federative and member-state courts. It is a 13 person body, who are appointed by the Supreme Court Appointments Committee and confirmed by the President. The Supreme Court acts as the highest civil and criminal court, the final appeal court for Ornivian Law, and the constitutional court of Ornivia. They are also responsible for Judicial Review in the Federative Administration.

Ornivian Politics has a multi-party system, with no less then 6 political parties being represented in the Parliament. Listed here, starting from largest to smallest; United Liberalist Party, Union of Conservatives, Alliance of Ornivian Progressives, Congress of Ornivian Socialists, Citizens for Peace and Environmentalism and the National Party of Ornivia.

Budget

The Federative Budget is the budget of the Ornivian Government, and determines the revenue and expenditure of the Government. Unlike unitary state arrangements the Federative Budget does not determine the total spending of the entire nation, but rather the central federal government. The Budget is created by the Ornivian Government on an annual basis, and must have that budget approved by both the Federative Parliament and the Federative Council.

The 2025-2026 Budget is in-total 2.5 Trillion Ornivian Pounds (2.6 Trillion Rovas)

Foreign Relations

Since entering the international community as a unified power, Ornivia has established diplomatic relations across Telrova. Ornivia maintains friendly relations with neighbouring nations, such as Nova Briton and Empireedy in Southwest Elisia, and has been the main proponent for the formation of the South Elisian Commonwealth. Ornivia also maintains cordial relations with major Telrovan powers, such as Ziromnia and Cle Brait. It is also a member of the Telrovan Assembly.

The nation maintains a mostly free-trade based trade policy, however maintains protections on some Ornivian economic sectors such as Agriculture and maintains requirements on foreign goods based on foreign worker protection.

Military

The Ornivian Armed Forces consists of three service branches: the Ornivian Navy and Corps of Ornivian Marines, the Ornivian Air Force and Ornivian Space Command, and the Ornivian Army. The armed forces is managed by the Federative Ministry of Defence, which is further dividied into three departments: The Department of the Navy, Department of the Air Force and Department of the Army. The Commander-in-Chief of the Ornivian Armed Forces is the President of the Federation. In 2026, Ornivia has spent 120 Billion Ornivian Pounds, 4.98% of its Federative Budget, or 1.9% of its GDP, on the Armed Forces.

The Ornivian Armed Forces currently have 328,000 active military personnel within a voluntary based system, though the capacity for conscription does exist via voter registration. The Ministry of Defence also employes 70,000 civilians. The Ornivian military maintains one of the highest expenditure per soldier ratios on Telrova.

The Ornivian Armed Forces are supplemented by various militia formations of the 25 Member-States of the Ornivian Federation. These militia formations are under the command of, and are funded by state governments during peace-time, but may be transferred to Federative authority in times of war, specifically invasion.
