Magisteria

Magisteria (French: Magistère), also known as United Magisteria (French: Magistère Uni), and officially known as the Socialist People's Republics of United Magisteria (SPRUM) (French: Républiques Populaires Socialistes du Magistère Uni; RPSMU), is a sovereign country situated on the Magisterian peninsula in, and considered as a superpower of the world. A, it is a union of twenty socialist people's republics spanning the peninsula. A modern-day, it is the only constitutionally in mainland  and one of the only remaining  in the world. It covers an area of 938,023 square kilometers (362,172 square miles), it is one of the largest countries in the world and it spans three time zones. The national capital is Annesia City, and the most populous city and financial center is Dayton.

Prior to the twenty-year long Proletarian Revolution, Magisteria was a strong ally of the. Pre-communist Magisteria had a record of free and fair democratic elections and was one of the members of the League of Nations. In 1901, the right-wing Popular Party secured a parliamentary majority in the government and led to the Miners' Strike of 1901. The strike, subsequent demonstrations, and the 1913-1916 famine that killed over 500,000-1,500,000 people eventually developed into the violent 20-year long Magisterian Proletarian Revolution, led by communist revolutionary Martin Jean. In 1945, Jean successfully overthrew the right-wing government and declared a federal socialist union in accordance with the ideals of Marxism–Leninism and Jeanism. He also transformed the Marxist Labour Party into the Communist Party of Magisteria, and became the leading force of Magisterian communism.

A year after the declaration of the Socialist People's Republics, Jean replaced the market economy with a command economy which led to a period of rapid industrialization in Magisteria. Magisteria entered the ten-year period known as the 'Miracle of the Revolution', where rapid economic development resulted in dramatic improvements in the average standard of living, particularly in urban areas. Additionally, the development also encompassed declines in child mortality and increases in life expectancy.

As the only -aligned state that borders the, it felt pressured as a member of the. Its membership with the was short-lived as Magisteria would move away from the Warsaw Pact in 1961, in order to avoid any proxy war. Magisteria would become one of the founding members of the in the same year. In 1974, Martin Jean passed away from heart failure and the nicknamed 'Mother of the Revolution', Malvina Kringel would succeed Jean as the General Secretary of the Communist Party with Jean-Pierre Segel appointed President.

In 1981, Segel introduced economic reforms that transformed the command economy into a "socialist market economy" in order to salvage the stagnant economy. Segel also initiated revolutionary reforms, by reforming the Communist Party and distanced it from Marxist–Leninist lines. He promoted what he called "Communism with Magisterian characteristics" and greatly reformed the country according to those ideals. In the following years, huge reforms of Segel have diminished the role of the revolutionary Communist Party and increased public participation in politics.

In 1989, in the height of the Revolutions of 1989 and the Magisterian economy once again stagnating, Segel - now the General Secretary following Malvina Kringel's retirement from politics - knew that force wasn't the solution and instead kept the Communist Party's popularity high by doing consistent, effective economic decisions to stop the economic stagnation. At the same time where the Soviet Union finally collapsed after 69 years of existence, Segel managed to stop the economic stagnation. In an 1992 interview, Segel saw the Soviet Union's collapse as a big threat to Magisterian communism. After that, Segel began expanding his military and using the technological advantages of the country to achieve technological achievements while expanding the country's influence in the remaining communist countries like Cuba, Laos, Vietnam, and Mainland China. Segel also ordered the creations of military bases in Cuba, Laos, and Vietnam, as well in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Central African Republic.

In 1994, Segel announced his retirement from politics and declared Sébastien Savatier as his successor. Savatier officially became the General Secretary and President in 1995 and during his rule, Magisteria enjoyed a prolonged economic boom, and became a highly developed country. Savatier continued the military expansion to fully achieve the superpower status and in 1999, Magisteria became an official global superpower. Entering the 2010s, Savatier introduced new economic policies which strengthened the Magisterian economy, LGBTQ+ rights were expanded as same-sex marriage was decriminalized and the constitution was amended to ban all anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination.

After 20 years in rule, Savatier stepped down as the General Secretary and President. Liselotte Kringel, daughter of Malvina Kringel, became the President and the General Secretary before giving the role to Charles Nishiyama in 2018. Kringel continued Savatier's policies, and she saw her popularity boost during the COVID-19 pandemic. The decisive actions of Kringel led to Magisteria being COVID-19 free by July 2021. After the scandal that involved Nishiyama, the country plunged into mass protests demanding the democratization of the political system.

Magisteria has a very strong, advanced economy and a strong civil rights record with below average political freedoms. Magisterians have no unemployment problems and enjoy one of the best standards of living in the world. It is a developed country with one of the largest economies in the world. Magisteria performs well in international rankings of education, health care, life expectancy and human development. It remains a great power in global affairs, being one of the six permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and an official nuclear-weapon state. Magisteria is a founding and a leading member of the Nations for World Peace (NWP) organization, as well as a key member of the, the , (OECD), the World Trade Organization (WTO), and. Thanks to Segel and Savanier's military and foreign policy, the country obtained the status as a global superpower, alongside the.

Etymology
The name "Magisteria" comes from the Latin word 'master'. Magisteria means 'master of lands'.

Pre-history
The early inhabitants of the land now known as Magisteria were the first inhabitants of North America who migrated from Siberia by way of the Bering land bridge and arrived at least 12,000 years ago, or prior thanks to some evidence suggesting an even earlier date of arrival.

French era: 1617-1792
For the first half of the country's colonial era, the country was under French rule as part of the New France area in North America, with the foundation of Port Champlain, which later became Annesia City, in 1617. The French rule ended due to the colonial conflict with Great Britain, which saw Magisteria becoming a British colony by 1792.

British era: 1792-1867
The British era began in 1792 after the colonial conflict with France being the main reason to Magisteria becoming a British colony. Magisteria would be a British colony for 75 years until Magisterian revolutionaries overthrew the monarchist colonial government out of the peninsula, and established the Republic of Magisteria.

Republic of Magisteria: 1867-1945
After 75 years under British influence, Magisterian revolutionaries declared Magisteria an independent republic in 1867. During its first years as a republic, the country went through a brief period of economic golden age when gold and diamond mines as well as oil were discovered in the mountainous region close to Alaska. They held their first ever elections in 1868, with Fredric Horsfall winning the presidential race, becoming the first elected president.

Horsfall's administration got off to an inauspicious start, as a new constitution was made, transforming Magisteria into a presidential republic. Through the years, Horsfall's administration saw prominent change through the Magisterian economic landscape and Magisteria became one of the richest in the world during his term. He was succeeded by vice president Jean-Claude Donatien Royer in 1876.

During Royer's administration, National infrastructure, including telegraph and transcontinental railroads, spurred further economic growth. The later invention of electric light and the telephone would also affect communication and urban life.

In 1901, the country entered the period known as 'Corporatist Era' as the right-wing corporatist Popular Party were elected. Opposed to communism, socialism, syndicalism, anarchism, and liberalism, the regime was conservative, corporatist, and nationalist in nature. Thanks to their anti-syndicalist views, a major strike action undertaken by regional miners known as the 'Miners' Strike of 1901'. The relatively peaceful strike turned into a violent uprising in an attempt to overthrow the conservative regime, which was unsuccessful. The revolt has been regarded as "the prelude to" the Magisterian Proletarian Revolution.

During the late 1900s, Magisteria had suffered poor harvests on several occasions and this led into the Great Western Famine that saw 500,000-1,500,000 people dying from starvation. The authoritarian government had been deeply unpopular with the people, and the government initiated the executions of his political opponents, mainly communists. Meanwhile the government continued their political suppression, a communist underground resistance under the leadership of Martin Jean were growing.

Magisterian Proletarian Revolution: 1925-1945
In 1925, an armed uprising led by the resistance began, the second since the Uprising of 1902-03. The uprising lasted for 20 years, resulting in one of the most bloodiest armed conflicts in the country's history. The final nail in the authoritarian government's rule came in 1945 when the resistance called for backup on the Soviet Union to finally get rid on the remaining pro-government loyalists. Later on, the communist revolutionaries were victorious and then later declared the formation of the Socialist People's Republics. In 1947, the Socialist People's Republics were officially recognized by the United Kingdom, France, the Soviet Union, and the United States. The same year, the first official constitution under the socialist union was approved, legitimizing the Socialist People's Republics.

Martin Jean era (1946-1974)
Martin Jean was named the first 'General Secretary of the Communist Party of Magisteria' in 1946. The following year, Jean initiated the 'Jeanist economic reforms' and introduced the first five-year plan for building a socialist economy. In industry, the state assumed control over all existing enterprises and undertook an intensive program of industrialization. In agriculture, he adhered the "lead by example" policy which was advocated by Lenin.

By the end of the first five-year plan, the country entered the period known as the 'Miracle of the Revolution' and they developed a robust industrial economy. Rapid economic development resulted in dramatic improvements in the average standard of living, particularly in urban areas. Additionally, the development also encompassed declines in child mortality and increases in life expectancy.

In 1955, the country moved closer to the USSR, joined the Warsaw Pact, and they were admitted to the United Nations. Thanks to its geopolitical position, it felt pressured from the United States considering they border them via Alaska and led to the Soviet-Magisterian Split in 1961. In the same year, Magisteria were one of the founding members of the Non-Aligned Movement.

By late 1960s, Jean's health begin to deteriorate. Jean considered retiring but he chose to stay in office under pressure from some of his Politburo associates, though in practice the country was not governed by Jean, but instead by a collective leadership led by David Gasmich, Malvina Kringel, and Jean-Pierre Segel. On 22 June 1974, Jean passed away at the age of 79 and was honored with major state funeral and buried 5 days later.

Kringel-Segel era (1974-1995)
Shortly after Jean's state funeral and burial, Malvina Kringel ascended to the ranks and became the General Secretary. Kringel's first acts was the appointment of notable reformist Jean-Pierre Segel. In 1977, Segel announced that Magisteria will begin a number of fundamental reforms in 1978 and will continue up to the 1980s, bringing about change in two major directions: rapid liberalization and decentralization of the country's political system, and the institution of a new, unique economic system. Segel continued the non-aligned policy from Martin Jean's rule and pursued centre-left influences that promoted a non-confrontational policy towards the United States. The country distanced itself from the Soviets in 1979 and started to build its own way to socialism under the strong political leadership of Segel, sometimes informally called "Segelianism".

In 1981, Segel introduced economic reforms that transformed the command economy into a "socialist market economy". Segel also initiated revolutionary reforms, by reforming the Communist Party and distanced it from Marxist–Leninist lines. He promoted what he called "Communism with Magisterian characteristics" and greatly reformed the country according to those ideals.

The Communist Party authorities carried out the market reforms in two stages. The first stage, in the early 1980s, involved the opening up of the country to foreign investment, and permission for entrepreneurs to start businesses. However, a large percentage of industries remained state-owned.

The second stage of reform, in the late 1980s, was halted by the Revolutions of 1989 and the sudden economic stagnation. Segel - now the General Secretary following Malvina Kringel's retirement from politics - knew that force wasn't the solution and instead kept the Communist Party's popularity high by doing consistent, effective economic decisions to stop the economic stagnation. Segel was able to continue the second stage of reform, which involved the privatization and contracting out of much state-owned industry. The 1994 lifting of price controls was a major reform, and the lifting of protectionist policies and regulations soon followed, although state monopolies in the commanding heights of the economy such as banking and petroleum remained.

Outside of Segel's economic reforms, Segel also initiated the 'Military Makeover Program' which saw a massive overhaul of the National People's Army. In an 1992 interview, Segel saw the Soviet Union's collapse as a big threat to Magisterian communism. After that, Segel began expanding his military and using the technological advantages of the country to achieve technological achievements while expanding the country's influence in the remaining communist countries like Cuba, Laos, Vietnam, and Mainland China. Segel also ordered the creations of military bases in Cuba, Laos, and Vietnam, as well in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Central African Republic. In 1995, Segel retired from politics and declared Sébastien Savatier - a member of the Segelianist faction of the Communist Party - as his successor.

Savatier era (1995-2015)
Savatier officially became the General Secretary and President in 1995. Savatier's policies were technically a continuation of Segel's social, economic, and military policies.

In 2000, Magisteria joined the World Trade Organization (WTO). Not long after, the private sector grew remarkably, accounting for as much as 70 percent of Magisteria's gross domestic product (GDP) by 2003. From 1992 until 2007, unprecedented growth occurred, with the economy increasing by 12.2% a year.

Entering the 2010s, Savatier introduced a major policy inspired from the Nordic model which further strengthened the Magisterian economy and greatly decreased the income inequality, LGBTQ+ rights were expanded as same-sex marriage was decriminalized and the constitution was amended to ban all anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination.

Second Kringel era (2015-present)
After 20 years in rule, Savatier stepped down as the General Secretary and President. Liselotte Kringel, daughter of Malvina Kringel, became the President and the General Secretary before giving the role to Charles Nishiyama in 2018. Kringel continued Savatier's policies, and she saw her popularity boost during the COVID-19 pandemic. The decisive actions of Kringel led to Magisteria being COVID-19 free by July 2021.

Kringel's reputation was affected by the Nishiyama's scandal in 2022. Kringel publicly denounced Nishiyama, and ordered the gradual removal of Charles Nishiyama from his position. On 07 October 2022, Johan Gasmich succeeded Nishiyama as the General Secretary. At the same time, protests - led by political commentator and former wrestling promoter Phil Vibert - demanding the democratization of the political system began to spread nationwide.

Geography
At 938,023 square kilometers (362,172 sq mi), Magisteria is one of the most largest countries in the world, comparable to the size of Tanzania. The northern part of Magisteria is in the Pacific Ring of Fire, which makes the area prone to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis. The central Magisterian region is where the Magisterian Snow Forest is located. The southern Magisterian region is where most Magisterian beaches are located.

Climate
Average winter and summer high temperatures across Magisteria vary from region to region. Winters can be harsh in many parts of the country, particularly in the interior and prairie states, which experience a continental climate, where daily average temperatures are near −15 °C (5 °F), but can drop below −40 °C (−40 °F) with severe wind chills.

Politics
The political system of Magisteria takes place in a federal single-party socialist republic framework which is characterized by the superior role of the Communist Party of Magisteria (CPM), the de jure only party permitted by the Constitution.

State power within the Socialist People's Republics of United Magisteria is exercised through the CPM, the President and its provincial and local representation. The SPRUM is divided into twenty constituent 'socialist people's republics'.

Despite the single-party rule, constituent parties from the Communist Party's People's Bloc for the Motherland and Socialism are allowed to run in the quadrennial presidential and legislative elections.

The President of the Union, currently Liselotte Kringel, is the head of state and head of government, elected directly by universal adult suffrage for a four-year term. The General Secretary, currently Johan Gasmich, is the ceremonial paramount leader, appointed by the General Assembly of the People's Republics.

Administrative divisions
The twenty 'socialist people's republics' are national-based former countries and ethnically based administrative units of the Socialist People's Republics of United Magisteria (SPRUM), organized in the similar fashion to its Eurasian counterpart's 15 former union republics. During Martin Jean's rule, the SRUM was a highly centralized state despite its nominal structure as a federation of republics. Segel's reforms during his rule granted decentralization for all twenty constituent republics.

Military
The National People's Army is organised into the People's Land Forces, the People's Naval Forces, the People's Aerial Forces, the Joint Medical Service, the Joint Support Service, and the Cyber and Information Domain Service branches. In absolute terms, Magisterian military expenditure ranks in the top 10 in the world. However, in response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, President Liselotte Kringel announced that Magisterian military expenditure would be increased.

As of 2021, the military have around a million active-duty personnel, which is also in the top 10 in the world, and about 3–25 million reserve personnel. It is mandatory for all male citizens aged 18–27 to be drafted for a year of service in the Armed Forces.

Magisteria is among the six recognised nuclear-weapons states, with the world's third-largest stockpile of nuclear weapons. Magisteria possesses the fourth-largest fleet of ballistic missile submarines, and is one of the only four countries operating strategic bombers. In 2021, it was the world's second-largest arms exporter, and had a large and entirely indigenous defence industry, producing most of its own military equipment.

Space program
The Magisterian space program is the national space program of Magisteria, active since 1959. Magisterian investigations in rocketry began with the formation of a research laboratory in 1923. The Magisterian space program serves as an important marker of Magisterian claims to its global superpower status.

Economy
Magisteria has a high income developed market-oriented economy that incorporates economic planning through industrial policies and strategic five-year plans. The economy consists of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and mixed-ownership enterprises, as well as a large domestic private sector and openness to foreign businesses in a system officially described as a socialist market economy. Magisteria has one of the world's largest economies by both nominal GDP and purchasing power parity.

Magisteria is one of the world's largest manufacturing economies and exporters of goods. It is also one of the world's fastest-growing consumer markets and importers of goods. Magisteria is also one of the world's largest consumers of numerous commodities, and accounts for about half of global consumption of metals. Magisteria has five of the world's top twenty most competitive financial centers and two of the world's twenty largest stock exchanges (both by market capitalization and by trade volume).

State-owned enterprises
State-owned enterprises accounted for over 60% of Magisteria's market capitalization in 2019 and generated 40% of Magisteria's GDP of US$4.782 trillion dollars in 2020, with domestic and foreign private businesses and investment accounting for the remaining 60%.

National debt
In 2014, many analysts expressed concern over the overall size of Magisteria's government debt. At the end of 2014, the International Monetary Fund reported that Magisteria's general government gross debt-to-GDP ratio was 40.89 percent. In 2015, a report by the International Monetary Fund concluded that Magisteria's public debt is relatively low "and on a stable path in all standard stress tests except for the scenario with contingent liability shocks", such as "a large-scale bank recapitalization or financial system bailout to deal, for example, with a potential rise in NPLs from deleveraging".

Industry and manufacturing
Industry and construction account for 46.8% of Magisteria's GDP. Magisteria is one of the world's leading manufacturers of chemical fertilizers, cement, and steel. Prior to the reforms, most output was produced by state-owned enterprises. As a result of the economic reforms that followed, there was a significant increase in production by enterprises sponsored by local governments, especially townships and villages, and, increasingly, by private entrepreneurs and foreign investors, but by 1990 the state sector accounted for about 70 percent of output. By 2002 the share in gross industrial output by state-owned and state-holding industries had decreased with the state-run enterprises themselves accounting for 46 percent of Magisteria's industrial output.

Steel industry
The steel industry of Magisteria has been driven by rapid modernisation of its economy, construction, infrastructure and manufacturing industries. Iron ore production kept pace with steel production in the early 1990s but was soon outpaced by imported iron ore and other metals in the early 2000s. Steel production, an estimated 69 million tons in 2000 increased to 140 million tons in 2006 and 563 million tons by 2018. Much of the country's steel output comes from a large number of small-scale producing centers, one of the largest being Miquelon in Philadelphia.

Financial and banking system
Most of Magisteria's financial institutions are state-owned and governed. The chief instruments of financial and fiscal control are the Federal Monetary Authority of Magisteria (FMAM) and the Ministry of Finance. The Federal Monetary Authority of Magisteria replaced the Central Bank of Magisteria in 1947 and gradually took over private banks. It fulfills many of the functions of other central and commercial banks. It issues the currency, controls circulation, and plays an important role in disbursing budgetary expenditures. Additionally, it administers the accounts, payments, and receipts of government organizations and other bodies, which enables it to exert thorough supervision over their financial and general performances in consideration of the government's economic plans. The FMAM is also responsible for international trade and other overseas transactions.

Currency system
The dollar, also known as the people's dollar, is the currency of Magisteria. The dollar is issued by the Federal Monetary Authority of Magisteria, the monetary authority of Magisteria. The ISO 4217 abbreviation is MSD.

The dollar is held in a floating exchange-rate system managed primarily against the US dollar. In 2006, Magisteria revalued its currency by 2.1% against the US dollar and, since then has moved to an exchange rate system that references a basket of currencies and has allowed the dollar to fluctuate at a daily rate of up to half a percent.

Television
Ninety-nine percent of Magisterian households have at least one television and the majority of households have more than one. The five major broadcasters in Magisteria are the MBC Network (MBC), Platinum Television Network (PTV), the Continental Broadcasting System (CBS), Royal Broadcasting Corporation (RBC), and MTV (MTV).

Motion pictures
The cinema of Magisteria has had a large effect on the global film industry since the early 20th century. The dominant style of Magisteria cinema is classical Magisterian cinema, which developed from 1922 to 1972 and is still typical of most films made there to this day. As of 2017, it produced the fourth-largest number of films of any national cinema, after India, China and the United States, with more than 600 English-language films released on average every year.

Magazines
Thanks to the huge size of the English-speaking North American media market, Magisteria has a large magazine industry with hundreds of magazines serving almost every interest, as can be determined by glancing at any newsstand in any large Magisterian city.

Population
The Magisterian population is estimated to be 238,340,831 as of December 31, 2021. In 2018, there were almost 90 million immigrants and Magisteria-born children of immigrants in Magisteria, accounting for 28% of the overall Magisteria population. Magisteria has a very diverse population; 37 ancestry groups have more than one million members.

Languages
English and French are the de facto national languages of Magisteria. Although there is no official language at the federal level, some laws—such as Magisterian naturalization requirements—standardize English, and most states have declared English as the official language.

Education
Education in Magisteria is guaranteed as a constitutional right to all people provided through state schools and universities. The education system that emerged after the establishment of the SPRUM in 1945 became internationally renowned for its successes in eradicating illiteracy and cultivating a highly educated population. Its advantages are total access for all citizens and post-education employment.

Magisteria grants free education to its citizens by constitution. The Ministry of Education of the Socialist People's Republics of United Magisteria is responsible for primary and secondary education, as well as vocational education; while the Ministry of Education and Science of the Socialist People's Republics of United Magisteria is responsible for science and higher education. Magisteria is among the world's most educated countries, and has the highest proportion of tertiary-level graduates in terms of percentage of population, at 72%.

Health
Magisteria, by constitution, guarantees free, universal health care for all Magisterian citizens, through a compulsory state health insurance program. The Ministry of Health oversees the Magisterian public healthcare system, and the sector employs more than two million people. The constituent republics also have their own departments of health that oversee local administration. A separate private health insurance plan is needed to access private healthcare in Magisteria.

Culture
Magisteria's culture draws influences from its broad range of constituent nationalities, and policies that promote a "just society" are constitutionally protected. Magisteria has placed emphasis on equality and inclusiveness for all its people. Multiculturalism is often cited as one of Magisteria's significant accomplishments, and a key distinguishing element of Magisterian identity. In the Philadelphia state, cultural identity is strong, and there is a French Magisterian culture that is distinct from English Magisterian culture. However, as a whole, Magisteria is, in theory, a cultural mosaic—a collection of regional ethnic subcultures.

Literature
Magisterian literature is often divided into French- and English-language literatures, which are rooted in the literary traditions of France and Britain, respectively. By the 1990s, Magisterian literature was viewed as some of the world's best. Magisteria's ethnic and cultural diversity are reflected in its literature, with many of its most prominent modern writers focusing on ethnic life.

Visual arts
Magisterian visual art has been dominated by figures such as Earl Cooper – the country's most famous painter – and Tanner Marlowe. Cooper's career painting Magisterian landscapes spanned a decade up to his death in 1919 at age 46.

Sports
The roots of organized sports in Magisteria date back to the 1770s, culminating in the development and popularization of the major professional games of wrestling, lacrosse, basketball, baseball, ice hockey and football. Magisteria's official national sports are wrestling, and ice hockey. Golf, soccer, baseball, tennis, skiing, badminton, volleyball, cycling, swimming, bowling, rugby union, canoeing, equestrian, squash and the study of martial arts are widely enjoyed at the youth and amateur levels.
