Map:

National Motto: "Ang parola ng kalayaan at demokrasya." (The beacon of freedom and democracy).

Government Type: A republic almost completely mimicking the old Roman Republic. 200 senators would be elected by the people with a strict term for how much long they can hold their position. Once a senator has been elected, no other members of his immediate family can also run or be voted for a position within the senate. Once all seats have been filled, the senators would then vote among themselves as over higher positions within the senate. This positions are:
Governors - An official elected to be the chief administrator of Philippine law throughout one province constituting the Philippine republic. Usually, a local from the province would be elected by his fellow senators but there are cases(usually through bribery) of non-locals governing provinces, specially those lucrative ones.
Censor - An officer who was responsible for maintaining the census and the supervising public morality. They are charged with collecting the information about the registration of each citizens across the country and complying them in a central database. In times of war (such as the previous one), they also serve as the nation's heads of propaganda. They have to raise public moral and make sure the public would always support the government's actions.
Inner Aedile - An officer who was responsible for the maintenance of public buildings, scheduling public holidays and public projects payed for by tax. They also inspect the governors and other public officials within a province to determine whether or not they are satisfying the people they are serving. Two Inner Aediles would be chosen with each term.
Outer Aedile - An officer who was responsible for the foreign relations of the nation. They are in charge of keeping tabs on citizens of the republic on foreign soil as well as negotiating with foreign powers. Ambassadors who wish to enter the country are first met and inspected by them. Two Outer Aediles would be chosen with each term.
Tribune - Head of the senators who do not hold higher positions and serve primarily as lawmakers.
Magistrate and Promagistrate - Serves as the heads of law system of the country. The magistrate serves as the head justice and the two promagistrates serves as the vice-head justices if the magistrate is unable to perform his duties.
Quaestor - Public official who supervised the financial affairs of the state and conducted audits and is in charge of the nation's treasury.
Praetor - An officer of the republic in charge of it's armed forces, including the army, navy air force and constabulary. This officer supervises, maintains and at times commands the armed forces. Senators chosen for this role usually have military backgrounds.
Consul - A consul served in the highest elected political office of the Philippine Republic. They are at the head of government, and all the other magistrates are subordinate to them, but retains independence of office. The internal machinery of the Republic was under the consuls’ superintendence. Two consuls are held for each term.

Military: The Philippine Armed Forces use rather old technology such as AR-15, decommissioned M1 Abrams and Raptor jet fighters. This outdated weapons are usually bought for a low price, donated or stolen from the Chinese during the world war. The nation is now seaking to modernize its army by researching and mass producing weapons of their own, although their weapons research is still in it's infancy. Once the nation's GDP rises and it's economy recovers however, it has plans on purchasing more modern weapons from more developed nations.

Economy:
GDP: $15 Million nominal
Labour force: Estimated at 50 Million
Labour force by occupation: services (55%) agriculture (30%), industry (15%)
Unemployed: 3.8%
Main Industries: Weapons manufacture, Pharmaceuticals, Electronics assembly, Garments, Footwear, and Food processing.
The nation suffered heavily during the last world war, losing most of its infrastructure because of heavy urban fighting. After the greater Luzon are was liberated from the People's Republic of China, massive reconstruction efforts were done to try and revitalize the economy. As of currently, several reconstruction programs are still underway as the country tries to rebuilt itself. The nation's GDP had plummeted during the war and the current consuls are focusing their efforts to revitalize the nation's ailing economy. Foreign investors are being invited to invest in the country. The United California States of America is the country's biggest and primary trading partner.

Foreign Policy: The Neo-Republic of the Philippines has still have hostilities against the People's Republic of China for invading the nation during world war III. The nation is also at odds with Malaysia and the Kingdom of Thailand for taking over the entire island of Borneo during the war but the two nation's are also it's closest ally because of their common goal to defend themselves from the Chinese. It is now working on opening new relations with other nations to improve its trade and secure its defense against possible future invasions. The nation is not an isolationist one and as previous stated above, is working on improving ties with other countries but is also weary of its neighbors, specially the Canadian Empire. The nation tends to steer itself away from the two rival empires in hopes of being left alone from their conflict.

History: As the American Second Civil War started and the Pacific region was left without a dominant superpower to keep China in check, the People's republic of China began to expand it's borders aggressively. The People's Liberation Army swept through much of the pacific, starting with the Senkaku islands, then with the Spratly islands and then began invading it's neighbors. While army groups spearheaded through its southern neighbors, an army group was sent on an amphibious invasion Taiwan Singapore and the Philippines. By the year 2022, much of the Asian Pacific area was under Chinese control. As expected, rebel forces from the country's they conquered began to spring up in numbers.

In the Philippines, several groups of armed rebels, sponsored by the government through underground connections, began to spring up. They would harass the Chinese supply lines, putting a strain on their logistics and ambush Chinese patrols at night. The Chinese authorities responded quickly and brutality to this attacks by executing alleged collaborators and massive public re-education programs. Many political prisoners were held at the infamous New Bilibid Correctional Facility. During August 13, 2029, the warden of the facility, Marrion Barson, organized a daring escape of his prisoners and non-PLA guards. The prisoners, Filipino rebel guards and Warden Barson quickly escaped to the mountains around the city of Antipolo. There the warden trained his guards and the prisoners with the help of rebel general John Phillips Ignacio. The newly trained men became known as the Bilibid legion. Warden Barson has a deep obsession with history and the Roman republic and empire. His legion operated as a tactical team, putting on more pressure on the Chinese. Soon other rebel groups like the Neo-K.K.K(kagalanggalangang kataastaasang katipunan) and the 'Viva La Pilipinas' rebel group followed the Bilibid legion military structure. By the year 2035, the greater Luzon area had been liberated from the Chinese and parts of Visayas and Mindanao were also beginning to succumb to rebellion. The next year, the Luzon legions launched their offensive on the Visayas and Mindanao. The Philippines was liberated by early January 2018. While in Manila, the capital, a new government was being placed to differentiate itself from the previous government that failed the it's people according to the masses. The hero of the revolution, Warden Barson, developed a new government styled after the ancient Roman republic. This republic was far from the old republic before the Chinese occupation. The Executive, Judiciary and Legislative branches of the government were all rolled into one.

By the late September of 2018, Now Consul Barson urged the senate to let him bring 3 legions, 300,000 men, to Borneo to take advantage of the chaos between the natives and the Chinese to liberate it from the P.L.A. After 3 a month of intense arguments from the lower senators, Consul Barson was allowed to proceed with his plans taking with him now Praetor general Ignacio. The Chinese were not prepared for the assault and was completely taken by surprise as the legions began their amphibious landings. In the course of 5 months, the entire island was taken by the legions. Of course this left them open to Chinese bombardments and so was the capital, Manila. The legions were still able to hold on to the island however but Consul Barson lost his life to the offensive. He's body was taken back home with the highest honors and was given the title "Ama ng makabagong Republika" (Father of the new Republic). A new threat however, forced the Chinese and its neighbors to stop their fighting, the British and Canadian empires. As India fell to the Canadians, China was forced to move back its troops to defend its homeland. A treaty of amnesties was signed between China and those countries it invaded, formally ending the pacific war.

Foes: Currently the People's Republic of China but the country is striving to repair their international relationship.

Name of Nation:
The Holy Scandinavian Empire.

Goverment Type:
Absolute Monarchy.

Economy:
The Norweigan oilfields both power the country and give them the needed money with which they import minerals and goods that the Holy Scandinavian Empire can't obtain within their own lands. They also use their technologies as a trading for money which they'll use to produce the higher end technologies which are off-limits to other countries.

Foreign Policy:
Whilst the borders of the country are heavily locked down and under constant military watch there are some checkpoints one could use to enter the country with legitimate ID and other necessary information. However the soldiers often point you in the other direction no matter what you do, since it's a mixture of national policy and individual national pride. The airspace around the Holy Scandinavian Empire is highly monitored and not even commercial flight's or any other non-military aircraft are allowed to enter, and if they do they are threatend to be shot down. The Holy Scandinavian Empire is highly secretive to the outsider and non-citizen. The empire isn't very active in the global scene except being one of the largest trade hubs in Europe.

History:
During the Scandinavian gathering between all the scandinavian nations and their prime ministers during 2014 the descition to create a strong trade and military bond was accepted and the scandinavian nations were now closer united then ever, the United Parlament was chosen to unitedly rule the five countries and their respective colonies. (Greenland) After that memorable rallying the scandinavian nations started working greatly together, and with the awkward actions of Russia and Ukraine the military development and research started to sky rocket, however all this was secret, factories disguised as car assembly plants produced tanks and aircraft's, weapons and ammunition. Clothing factories were disguised and instead produced armor and protective gear.

The scientifical capabilities of the nation was rather limited untill the nations had produced suiting research stations and observatories into the mountains or underground where their research would not be affected by anything. During the time span of 10 years their accomplishments would outweigh almost any nation, secretly becoming a super power in the current world and during the tension between all the nations one year before the start of the Third World War the Scandinavian nations made it very clear that they were going to remain neutral, and they kept their promise during the first couple of years of the war, whilst other nations exhausted their resources and manpower the Scandinavian nations remained untouched and acted as a safe-haven for immigrants, boosting it's population greatly.


During 2030 the Scandinavian nations united together under a single banner, that of the Holy Scandinavian Empire, other nations took aggressive notice towards this delceration however were too strained on their fronts, the incredible super power of Russia was targeted 2030, November 19th by the Legionairy system of the Holy Scandinavian Empire and fell flat on their faces as the technological advantage of the 15th, 19th and 17th legions rolled through the under-siege Finland, liberated it and started to roll into the Russian mainland. During the year 2031 the Holy Scandinavian Emperor was declared, his former name was Sture Alfredsson, however as a rise to power he was re-named Sigismund the First of Scandinavia.

The scandinavian unity was only a matter of fact and the people of each nation protested for it many times. However the transformation into an imperial power was not something that the people were expecting, however surprisingly it joyed most of the populace and the Prime Minister of Sweden was the clear candidate for the Emperor's position, the Empire-wide vote would be the single democratic thing that the people would have to do in that nation. The first laws the Emperor declared stated that he would gain Absolute Monarchy over the Empire, and he disguised it so well within the other positive laws that the citizen of the nation had no clue that they were placed in an Imperial cage of absolute rulership.


At 2034 the 17th legion had arrived at the outskirts of Moscow, their path here had been deadly and filled with rebelious russian citizen's walking in their way, however their arrival at the countries capital had been complete and the demies of the Russian spirit would be nearly absolute if this city would be to be captured. The armies they came across during their crusade for the Russian capital were gradually getting stronger and ever more desperate, however the Scandinavian had one thing which gave them the advantage during this battle. Their technological advantage, and their Crusader Armor.

The first of it's kind in the world of reality, and long before it's designated time, however the Imperial Unity and the Scandinavian Scientists behind the militaries developments gave them this gift. The Crusader Armor would become the building base of which they would proceed to work upon, adding or removing parts from the Crusader armor would be the development of new armors, simply because it was more economy friendly. The railgun project was tested during the 5th of July, 2037 and it's destructive abilities were astounding, the Emperor demanded this to be outfitted upon the Imperial Navy, the AirDome project was also revealed that day, and the Emperor personally funded it, it would not be finished untill a month after the war, however. The AirDome project consists of high frequency lasers capable of heating aircraft's to the point of scorching the internal instruments and leaving the aircraft falling and on-fire.


The Holy Scandinavian Empire was left unscaved except for Finland, therefor it gave the Emperor the chance to demand the construction of an Imperial Palace and a Hundred different Imperial symbols in building format. Each of them would be as large as a cathedral and the Imperial Palace would be three times the foundation of a cathedral, at the very front of the palace would be a massive parading street, the surrounding area would become the new Empires capital; Thrones Keep. It finished construction a month ago and the city is now filled with people, an entire 6 milion inhabitants.

The Scan-Russian war left the Russian Spirit shattered when the 17th Legion pierced the Moscow defences, however right before conquest of the entire city they left for their homeland, Emperor Sigismund spoke with the current Russian Prime Minister and it ended with Emperor Sigismund gaining ground further into russia, leaving Saint Petersburg in Scandinavian hands, that and everything behind Saint Peterburg, which would include the Kola peninsula and any land between Saint Petersburg and the Kola peninsula, that means any land between these two points are now under Scandinavian controll, with that peace was declared between the two during the Victory Parade in Thrones Keep, it would inaugurate Sigismund Street, both a parading street and square and a highway which connects the entire part of Finland, Norway and Sweden.

During 2038 the Holy Scandinavian Empire ceased it's war activity and became isolationistic in nature, nothing is truly known about the Holy Scandinavian Empire beyond 2038 by anyone outside the borders of the empire. The only activity beyond the border watch in 3 years will come in three weeks, the Imperial Ceramony at Thrones Keep, it will be broadcast world-wide.

Foes:
- Russia is the most hated foe in the Holy Scandinavian Empire's mind, they fought in WW3 and took quite the bit of land from the Russian's hands, therefor the Scan-Russian border is under high tension with military on each side for each country, it is another battle of quality versus quantity, with the Russians choosing to have the higher number.

- Lithuania is also a target for the Scandinavian rage, it is mostly because the Scandinavian Emperor views the country, together with it's two neighbors to be of high strategical importance, granting the Scandinavian Empire a second foothold in Europe and another front to fight the Russian upon.

- Litvia is a foe for the same reasons as Lithuania.

- Estonia is a foe for the same reasons as Lithuania and Litvia.

Other:
Rebellion is very much an issue, however it's disclosed due to the isolationism of the Empire itself, they have isolated themselves from the surrounding world and have a neutral global position of a... Ghost like force. The Imperial Ceremony is the largest and longest appearence of the Emperor himself, whilst Thrones Keep is surrounded by great walls and a dominant military police force on constant watch there could always be some rebel which sneaked in. The Imperial Ceremony is basically the celebration of the Emperors Birthday.

The Holy Scandinavian Empire is now a global super power.
