It is comprised of the island of Saisland, portions of the Setgård islands, and the regions of Hasmark and Lannreid on mainland Polaris. Fujai also lays claim to the areas of Lannreid and Setgård controlled by Dalimbar since the 1200s. — - People's Communes of Fujai Folkskommunarna Fujai (Fujansk) - Flag Coat of Arms Anthem: Arbetarna (Common: The Workers) Motto: For alltid framover, for alltid nordover (Common: Forever forward, forever northward) Location of the People's Communes of Fujai (red) in Polaris (red, dark grey, & light grey) Capital and largest city Keiserholde Official Languages Fujansk First Languages: 76.3% Fujansk dialects 4.6% Kynsk 1.9% Gloisk 1.1% Other North Berganisk 1.1% Dalimbari 15.0% Other Demonym(s) Fujar (noun) Fujansk (adjective) Fujar (plural) Government Communal socialist directorial republic • Rådsrodd Iren Kristoffshavn • Velktingstalar Aina Landsvik • Hovudmidjar Aldis Steredal Legislature Velktinget History • States prior to unification by the early 500s • Unification of Saisland and Hasmark 1021 • United Kingdoms of Fujai and Glorijk 1042 • Gulhatt Republic 1113 • Re-established monarchy 1134 • Lannreid Forbund joins 6 June 1211 • People's Commune 26 April 1316 Population • 1420 census 7,294,825 • Density 13.9/km² Area • Total 521,912 km² • Water (%) 6.8 (1415) Elevation • Highest point 2,265 m - Trondhelm • Lowest point Sea level - Thulian Ocean GDP (PPP) 1424 estimate Total 521.84 billion IMU (12.84 trillion FJK) Per capita 71,535 IMU (1.760 million FJK) Currency Fujansk krone (FJK) Time zone IAT-3 (PCT Polaris Central Time/ SPT Sentriskpolaris tid) Driving side right Calling code +1 48 Country codes FJ FJA Internet TLD .fj Fujai has a total area of 521,912 square kilometers and a population of 7.3 million, mostly concentrated in south and west Saisland and south and east Hasmark. The country is bordered by Dalimbar on the east, shares an extensive border with Cambria to the south, and in the east borders Gloibria and the Cambric exclave of Corentin. Much of its coastline, especially in Saisland, is broken by deep fjords, with large areas covered by forest, tundra, and mountains. Its maritime location heavily moderates its climate, making it relatively temperate compared to its latitude in the east and south, with its coldest locales located in the northwest. Humans have inhabited what is now Fujai since approximately 11,000 BF. Berganisk peoples have inhabited the region since at least 2800 BF, being recorded in history in the centuries before the Markian Founding as the Saisar, Hasar, and Lanning, comprising along with the Glorar and and the peoples known as the Næring. The period from roughly 200-500 AF was characterized by migration, settlement, and raiding along the coasts of northern and eastern Polaris. Independent states emerged in Hasmark and Saisland in the early 500s, uniting into the precursor to the modern Fujansk state in 1021. The personal union of Fujai and Gloibria occurred in 1042 in response to growing Cambric influence in the region, failing in 1113 due to the Fujansk Civil War, which established the short-lived Gulhatt Republikk before the monarchy's restoration. The next two centuries were characterized by increasing Dalimbari aggression, with the Lannreid Forbund joining Fujai for protection in 1211, and a succession of wars eating away at Fujai's western territory throughout the 1200s, leading to increased alignment with the Astorians to the south. The disastrous First Northern War (1309-1312) dramatically reduced Fujai's area and began an economic depression leading to the Fujansk Revolution, which established the Red Monarchy, a socialist directorial republic with an elected ceremonial monarch. After a decade of economic reorganization, the ceremonial monarchy was abolished in 1331, leaving the current system in place. The Second Northern War (1357-1365) resulted in the return of much of Fujai's land to mid-1200s borders, and aided in Fujai's postwar economic success. On an international level, Fujai has been closely aligned with the Astorian Union (AU) for over a century, primarily as a defense against Dalimbar, and while not a full member, is a signatory of many AU treaties. Fujai is one of the few nations to use a directorial system of government. Executive power is vested in the seven-member Stadsråd (State Council), and its members and its Rodd (Voice) are directly elected yearly. The Velkting forms the legislative branch and has the power to initiate recall elections for the Stadsråd. Iren Kristoffshavn serves as the current Rådsrodd, Tova Landsvik as the Speaker of the Velkting, and Aldis Steredal as the Hovudmidjar (Head Mediator). Fujai uses a democratic socialist economy with universal healthcare, education, housing, transit, and an extensive social security system. These are funded with some of the highest and most progressive taxes in the world. Profit is outlawed in Fujai, and most companies operate as worker cooperatives or are under public ownership. Much power is delegated to the local kommunar, which often leads Fujai to be termed a "decentralized" or "municipal" state, while acknowledging the immense influence of the central government. Other values central to the Fujansk system include the landsuveren (land sovereign) and bypraksis (city practice). Fujai maintains an extremely high ranking in many international metrics, including quality of life, health, education, protection of civil liberties and political freedoms, equality, prosperity, and human development.

Fujai Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 Overview │ Geography │ Demographics │ History │ Politics │ Culture │ Economy │ Infrastructure Map Repository │ Other Graphics POLITIKK // POLITICS The government of Fujai is a communal socialist directorial republic split into three branches: the legislative, executive, and mediative. Legislative power is placed in the Velkting, the parliament; executive power is placed in the Statsråd, the council; mediative, or judicial power, is placed in the Statsmidjerjon. Statsråd collectively serves as the head of state and government. Velktinget The Velkting is Fujai’s parliament, made up of 211 Velktingsrepresentants (VRs). The Velkting has been a unicameral body since the Folkskongress of 1316 abolished the former upper house, the Højting, among other things. The Velkting is seated in Velktingshuset inside Solrunsborg, Grønnevej 100, Keiserholde. Functions and Members The Velkting’s duties focus on acting as the peoples’ representatives, lawmaking, policy, and the running of the Fujansk government. Apart from these, the Velkting has the power to call snap elections for itself and the Statsråd with 60% support. The Velkting elects the Høytalar, the speaker, who is one of the most prominent public figures in Fujai. They are typically the leader of the largest party in the Velkting, though there have been exceptions to that custom. Velktingsrepresentants must be Fujansk residents of at least 16 years of age at the time of election. VRs are elected for a maximum of two three-year terms. Elections Velktingsrepresentants are elected directly using a mixed-member proportional system, where voters cast ranked preference votes for their mixed member district and a vote for political party. 100 VRs are elected through multi-member districts, while the remaining 111 VRs are chosen from open party lists to achieve a proportional distribution of political parties. Elections in Fujai are overseen by the Statskjøsingkomisjon (informally known as Kjøsa). Statsråd The Statsråd is the council that serves as the executive power of Fujai. It consists of seven directly elected members, the Rådgafar, who each head one of the seven Ministerjonor. The chair of the council is the Rådsrodd, whose deputy is the Annarrådsrodd, commonly called the Rodd and Annar, respectively. Elections Elections for the Statsråd are held yearly concurrently with Velkting elections. Rådgafar are directly elected to specific seats on the Statsråd by ranked choice vote for up to three one-year terms. The positions of Rodd and Annar are elected yearly by approval vote among all candidates running for Rådgafar, and may only serve in that capacity once. Only Velktingsrepresentants are eligible to stand for election and must give up their seat if elected. Snap elections for all members of the Statsråd (and Velkting) may be called by the Velkting once per year, though not within three months of a regularly scheduled election. Rådgafar elected in this way serve out the rest of their term. Recall elections for individual Rådgafar may be initiated with 70% support in the Velkting, or by successful public petition. Functions and Members The Rådgafar serve as the heads of Fujai's seven Ministerjonor and they serve as the collective head of government of Fujai—no single member is vested with executive power. The Rådsrodd serves merely as a spokesperson and meeting convenor, and not as a leader, per se. The Utanriksrådgafar performs many of the foreign relations tasks that heads of state perform in many other countries.

Fujai Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 Overview │ Geography │ Demographics │ History │ Politics │ Culture │ Economy │ Infrastructure Map Repository │ Other Graphics KULTUR // CULTURE There are no mistakes. You can fix anything that happens. You can't have light without dark. You can't know happiness unless you've known sorrow. Water's like me. It's laaazy ... Boy, it always looks for the easiest way to do things You want your tree to have some character. Make it special. Tree trunks grow however makes them happy. Little trees and bushes grow however makes them happy. This is the fun part You've got to learn to fight the temptation to resist these things. Just let them happen. You gotta think like a tree. Use what happens naturally, don't fight it. Let's make some happy little clouds in our world. I really recommend you use odorless thinner or your spouse is gonna run you right out into the yard and you'll be working by yourself. If you don't think every day is a good day - try missing a few. You'll see. The only prerequisite is that it makes you happy. If it makes you happy then it's good. Be brave. You can create beautiful things - but you have to see them in your mind first. Use your imagination, let it go. Be so very light. Be a gentle whisper. Van Dyke Brown is a very nice brown, it's almost like a chocolate brown.
