The Geography of  The United Republics of Fauthur

Chapter  2

Geography of the URF

 

As already mentioned in Chapter 1, Fauthur is located in the North-West of Nur, situated on the border of the Great Pacific Ocean and the countries of Kalmach (The UNK) and Campa Simpatica to the North-East and Noton Mast, aswell as Apexiala to the West. 

 

On the different Specifics in the chapters, it wil mostly show informational things like cities, national parks, weather graphs, roads, and tourist attractions.

Once we have taken a swift look at this map, you can count all official 13 States that occupy The United Republics of Fauthur. 

Then let's move down a layer so we can see a map of the 36 Districts Fauthur is divided by.

The North

As one can see, the northern states of the URF are Berklozt, Hoita, and Brae, aswell as the northern parts of Ghask. This region has been around for a very long time in history and were "colonised" before the other Fauthurian states and therefore holds a vast majority of the countrie's sightseeing attractions such as the oldest standing building in Fauthur or the 13 meter high statue of one of the resistance leaders which helped pry Fauthur free from the oppressive hands of the, back then highly oppressive and imperialist, Kalmach. Furthermore it is where most of the important trade ports are being maintained for easy trade to the northern regions of Nur and round east.

Berklozt is along with Brae and Hoita one of the first established states of the URF and holds the national title for the most crime free region in all of the URF. It is divided into several districts (Lendkrese), which would then also be divided into municipalities:

The Politics of Fauthur

Chapter  4

Politics

The Government And How It Works

Fauthur has a somewhat complicated system when it comes to enacting laws or making general changes to the government and governing laws.

Here is a short text explaining the processes of the government, and what they do.

 

  1. Every year is a voting cycle. Here the people can vote for a party. If a party gets the highest votes for the cycle, they may elect a Head of Government (HoG) within their party. Every two years, there is a minority party voting cycle. Here the minority voting parties get thrown in with the parties already in congress to see if they will surpass the voting threshold to be elegible for a representative seat in congress                           
  2. The party which got the highest votes will have a seat in Government, as the reigning government power, along with the Head of Government                                                                                                           
  3. The Head of Government gets 5-10 votes in the congress according to how sizeable the congress is                                                                                   
  4. For a law, act, resolution or similar to be passed, the congress, which votes on that, needs atleast a 60% positive voting rate for it to be passed. Whereas the reigning party needs needs to rely on atleast one other party, also depending on how sizeable, to pass such a law, act, resolution or similar                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
  5. The Congress is made out of about 450~550 politicians                                                                                                                                                            
  6. For a party to become elegible to be voted for in congress, it needs to pass a voting popularity of 2.5% in the 2 year minority party votes                                                                                                        
  7. The congress may hold emergency elections/votings if over 68% of the populace are not satisfied/ unhappy with the current congress or even both Head of Government and Head of State. Public surveys have to be held by the Head of Government on at max. a two year basis. One may also hold the surveys sooner. If the Head of Government fails to do so, they will be immediately removed from power and the voting cycle gets initiated early              

 

  1. 1.Once the HoG is chosen, the Head of State (HoS) election process begins. (Note that the HoS election process may only be started, once 5 years from the previous election has passed) The HoG may pick 6 candidates whom must not have been HoG or HoS in the past 10 years and must not exceed 2 canditates from their own party                                                                                                                                                                
  2. The candidates that were picked get to be voted on by the populace. Once the populace have voted, a new Head of State will be elected                                                                                     
  3. The new HoS will now be able to manually elect a small cabinet of ministers for the minister positions and from here will act as a ceremonial piece in the Government, something like a king or a president to meet other Heads of States along with the Head of Government

 

 

There have, after the recent change in government, been 6 political parties that were instituted to satisfy the public voting needs. These Parties consist of:

The Economy of Fauthur
Chapter 5 

 

 

Inspired by the following countries situated on the same geographical y axis as Fauthur (slightly above the equator): Nicaragua, Panama, Nigeria, Columbia, Phillippines. Also inspired by: Hungary, Bolivia, Norway

 

Fauthur has a sizable economy in Nur, being among the xxxxxx of Nuran nations.vThe Fauthurian GDP spans xxx Billion. The unemployment rate is 4.5% of the population and the currency is the PT, the Presence Token, which is valued at xxxUSD for one PT

Fauthur is an import nation, focusing on a specialized variety of good and products to export. The people are driven to be wary of consumerism at an early age and the country is trying to be mostly self sufficient, which hasn’t been successful for a long time. 

Main import resources are

  • xxx
  • Xxx
  • Xxx
  • Xxx
  • Xxx
  • Xxx
  • Xxx
  • Xxx
  • Xxx
  • Xxx

Fauthur gets these resources, by importing from:

  • xxx
  • Xxx
  • Xxx
  • Xxx
  • Xxx
  • Xxx
  • Xxx

Also, Fauthur is trying to be self sufficient,  but also is exporting an excess of the following ressoruces, obtained in plentiful Ressource pools:

  • Wood
  • Xxx
  • Xxx
  • Xxx

The biggest export markets are:

  • xxx
  • Xxx
  • Xxx
  • Xxx

Fauthur’s annual growth rate is valued at a mean of xx% a year and the regional development is mostly even, with only parts of Northern nur lacking behind a small bit.

 

1.1 Forestry

Fauthur’s main economical growth originates from its forestry industry. With very large zones of forest, practically the whole country is covered by subtropical broadleaf and monsoon forests, ready for extensive forestry. It is estimated that Forestry is responsible for around xx% of the GDP and contributes xx% to the yearly growth of the country.  It is such an excessive resource, that the forestry industry is set to work slowly in some areas, to counteract a too full reserve of wood. The government isn’t putting any worth on preservation, except on some community and state zoned areas and national parks, so most forest is fair game for private and government development. 

The largest forestry industry is active in West Fauthur, bringing in xxxx tons of the overall xxxxx tons of wood produced a year. Many Fauthurian homes are built with an all wood inside, with stone, rebar and concrete finishing the base and outside walls. Every new home in Fauthur incorporates a full-wooden interior, much to the delight on Kids, who get splinters on a regular basis.

 

1.2 Mineral Resources

Fauthur has many hills and even a small mountain range in the middle of the country. There have been many prospecting attempts over the years, starting to really come into focus around the start of 1400.

Prospecting has shown, that Fauthur has a lot of potential in mining and has already established a well developed mining sector, being responsible for 0.9% of its GDP.

The major resources being extracted and processed are:

  • Gold (xxx tons/year)
  • Coal (xxx tons/year)
  • Zinc (xxx tons/year)
  • Iron (xxx tons/year)
  • A small amount of petroleum (xxx gallons/year)
  • Trace amounts of tungsten (xxx tons/year)

A recent initiative in 1420 laid a foundation for the further expansion of mining operations, provided the resource pools are big enough to controllably last atleast 30 years with the current mining pace, and that no residents may be disturbed within 5 km of a mining operation. 

The Fauthurian law “Industrial smoke and pollutant regulation” forbids the capture of CO2 and other pollutants, as the pollutants dissolve in the atmosphere. A small amount of surcharge is applied to major corporations polluting the air, as an initiative to gain more money for the federal reserves.

The Sports of Fauthur

Chapter  8

 

Sports in Fauthur are widely regarded as a fun pastime, with vast differences between regions.

Sports, that Fauthur regards as national sports, are racing sports. These include Rallye, Rallye-cross, Formula Fauthur and rarely but on the rise: “everyday races”. These are racing including the everyday common car, modified for racing on streets and sometimes on the countryside. It is popular, because the “everyday races” racing series uses cars mostly used by the everyday Fauthurian, and even some retro cars.

Fauthur has multiple Formula Fauthur teams, one of which, “Epsilon Fira Racing”, had made it to the Esferos F1 cup years ago and is still celebrated by the feat of reaching such a high ranking racing league.

Additionally, Fauthur hosts drag races instead of horse races, but with modified, street legal cars.

The only difference with that lies in the east, where sports like football, badminton and ice-hockey are part of everyday life and lived by many.

At last, Fauthur has a very own sport originating from West Fauthur. It comes from a small village on the southern west coast, hosting a quadathon annualy, which was eventually picked up by native tourists and continued over generations. A Quadathon is like a triathlon, just different. It consists of 4 stages, which were originally: swimming, cycling, chopping a tree and lastly a 200 meter sprint. Winner is, who at the end has the least amount of time in total for finishing every stage. In modern day though, the swimming has been replaced by jet skis and the cycling stage has been replaced by Horsepower limited microcars. 1425 hosts the 265th Quadathon.

The Media of Fauthur

Chapter  9

 

The invention of media, such as the first printed books and newspapers dates back to the year 850, when the printing press’ invention reached Fauthur. Starting off from that, and the rapid spread of delivery per carriage and even coast to coast mail, the news of the news spread and a year later, the whole nation was able to digest newspapers and wonkily mass printed books 2 days after they first came into the world. It was also 851 where Fauthur’s oldest newspaper company came into life, named “The New West”, stretching on till modern day. After that, media in Fauthur remained at that status for centuries, with the rumors of stuff happening slowly waining due to the prominence of newspapers. News outlets, media companies fluctuating, as many couldn’t hold out during the economic crises and the great mass hysteria period of 1154, as only the local state news outlets got the backing from the state to continue running, even in the most extreme of times. 

Thus, shortly before the turn of the 13th century, “The New West” was promoted by the then still monarchic government, to the first national Fauthurian news outlet, due to its perseverance, even when government backing was short and the devotion of the journalists to work full days for free and a bread as a wage.

1330, the first FM, non military broadcast swept from the south of Fauthur to the capital, West Fauthur and gave way to the distribution of FM radios to the public 2 years later, after refining the signal for clarity. 1335, the first transmissions from other continents (tbd, nation in search, dm me on discord for collaboration) reach the Fauthurian public, to be worked into the world broadcasting network. Radios quickly became a part of life, present everywhere. In parks, homes, at work, at the dentist, in aeroplanes and even soon in driving rustbuckets they call cars. It was revolutionary for news and entertainment, as the first music producers and publishing companies rose from the ground to retake old songs and put them into the radio for the pleasure of the people. Until the advancement of the television in Fauthur, there were 120 radio stations available for the public, blasting music, news and a plethora of other categories, such as story reading and monotone sounds 24/7.

That number just increased as the television became ever more present in 1360, adding cable television and even color in 1367. 

Fauthur originally started out with “The Big Five”, these are the still present first five news broadcasting channels, along with the fifth being later converted to a normal channel, broadcasting TV-Series, trash TV and the normal morning, midday and evening news rounds. Building a good Television broadcasting Network in Fauthur, cost the government a fortune all for modernisation and the entertainment of the people, also seeing that Fauthur was and still is quite lacking behind on the Esferosian stage. Early 1400, the first satellite was launched into space for satellite television in Fauthur, more to follow up Over the years, with the incoporation of online TV channels, streaming services and generally the internet, which is now regarded as the main entertainment supplier, with some Fauthurian companies specializing solely in streaming services, totally lacking the functionality, and effectively replacing traditional TV channels.

At present, there are 524 Fauthurian TV Channels for all needs, public private and streaming channels, as well as 157 Radio broadcasting stations and 400-700 news outlets, broadcasting and media companies and newspapers, be it locally, stately, nationally or internationally.

The Society of Fauthur

Chapter  10

 

 

1.1 - Education

 

Fauthur boasts an extensive education sector, with public and private schools clustered about everywhere you can think of. Comprehensive schools exist in a large number of cities, which combine every grade up until graduation with the highest possible educational degree that is not a university or college. The curriculum of all schools up to but not including colleges or universities are mandated by the government and can be influenced state by state.

Universities and Colleges may have their own curriculums for classes, provided they are state and government approved. Yearly, xx% of the nation’s government budget flows into education, with the government striving to keep the population literate. The Educational sector of Fauthur is the most well-structured and invested social sector in Fauthur.

The Educational System in Fauthur is structured into 4 Divisions of education. 

The first Division is pre-school, this is where children from the age of 3 go to, to get prepared for elementary school, which starts at the 6th year of life. Here, children mostly have free time, do activities that develop speaking, writing and basic math skills up to the number 10. It is common for pre-schools to have a break at 3pm in the afternoon to have a snack pause, including fresh fruits and vegetables and in the summers, ice cream. The Fauthurian government mandates a free lunch and at least 4 trips to educational facilities, such as museums or just the local forest, in close proximity to the pre-schools, in a year.

The second division is elementary school, where children from the ages 6 to 12 go through a grade each year. Elementary in Fauthur lasts to the 6th grade, with children starting to learn the process of fractions. All elementary schools are mandated to have the following classes: 

  • Fauthurian
  • Kalmash
  • Maths
  • General sciences
  • Physical Education
  • Religion or Philosophy
  • Arts

The most prominent class being “learning life”, where children are taught cooking, cleaning, general knowledge for dangerous places, behavior in society and social etiquette. Secondary schools touch on that subject again with more pressing matters. Most elementary schools have deviations, adding classes that aren’t mandated, like programming or basic level carpentry from grade 5 onwards.

The third division is secondary school, which goes from grade 6 to 12, in which students can earn their first graduation diplomas. A drop out after completing the 10th grade is possible, with the lowest of all graduation diplomas, qualifying for entry level jobs and implementing a limit on how high you can get in a career. 

The mandated classes still apply, although in 8th grade, students can choose whether they want to learn (a prominent language tbd) or hone their existent language skills in a “mastery class” of Kalmash or Fauthurian. 

The “learning life” class now includes how to file taxes, do paperwork, proficiently fix car problems, as well as general knowledge for everyday problems and money management.

From grade 10 to 12, students get to choose 2 “mastery class” classes from any class currently available in school. The “mastery class” from grade 8 needs to be exchanged, though it is possible to continue to take that “mastery class” as a 3rd “mastery class”

Completing grade 11, students get the medium graduation diploma, qualifying students for colleges and letting students advance in their career with the addition of taking educational courses to advance.

Completing grade 12, students gain the highest normal educational graduation diploma, letting them go to college, university and letting them advance in their careers indefinitely, as long as a higher education is not needed. Getting this graduation diploma is not an easy feat, as 6% of all students fail this graduation level and therefore is connected with a good starting prestige in society.

Fauthur also has public and private universities and colleges, specializing in a plethora of topics and job directions, like applied sciences, education, health, research, which includes things like molecular biology, biology itself, bacterial research and everything connected with that. 

The most prestigious universities in Fauthur include:

  • 1. The University of West Fauthur - which includes most of the specializations you can find in Fauthur. It is a highly sought after university, with elite criteria for admission. Thus, it is always difficult to find a free spot here
  • 2. The Gelcc university of applied sciences - Situated in Gelcc, this university has the most comprehensible and extensive applied science study sector in Fauthur, and claims to be the most student friendly in all of Nur, as the student accommodations include a free 2 room apartment, free cafeteria lunch and dinner, and half the cost of a normal university. This is an exceptional university, fully financed by the government, and basically a small city itself with all services paid for, like going to the barber or going grocery shopping.
  • 3. The Hefenium University of technology, research and computer sciences - bustling with activity, the government is trying to keep the programming standards at an all time high, while supplying only the most up to date computer systems Fauthur has to offer. It is also the location of Fauthurs main technological research division

 

All in all, Fauthur and its citizen are really rich with educational possibilities and reachable schools, as experts say that the mean time needed to travel to a school is counted at 12 and a half minute.

 

1.2 - Health

 

Fauthur maintains a universal healthcare system, which is largely financed by the national health insurance and is proud to be covering 100% of its population with the system. The national health insurance is free for children, students, pensioners, people with below average income, handicapped people, government employees.

Fauthur spends xx% of its GDP on healthcare.

The average lifespan is 75.3 years, with the leading mortality rate being respiratory infections, which 48% of the populace contract multiple times throughout their lives. The cause of this can be dated back to the rampant and unregulated industrial pollution, as well as lax climate regulations. Following respiratory infections, cancer is the second highest cause of mortality at 27%, followed by heart disease with ~10%.

There are many disparities between northern and southern Fauthur, due to the vast industrialized regions in southern Fauthur.

New since 5 years ago, the Fauthurian government has put a 50% sales tax on tobacco, to discourage people, especially the younger generation from smoking, as to regulate the high respiratory infection rate. It has been proven, that cigarettes facilitate the chance of getting a respiratory infection and reduce the strength of the immune system.

The current government promotes the practice of keeping high tobacco tax and reducing tobacco sales, but is abstaining from banning tobacco, as it remains a large money making product, with 64% of the population actively smoking.

Fauthur has around 2000 actively operated hospitals, with more being planned. There still is a widespread gap in some places, where reaching a hospital by car would take more than 45 minutes.
