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 and collectivization 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) 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.
