Joshuedia

The Joshuedian Imperial Republic (Russian: Императорская Республика Джошудиа - Imperatorskaya Respublika Dzoshudia / Togan: Империстори-Республикёрин Джошуадиа - Imperistori-Respublikjorin Dzhoshuadia / Japanese: ジョシュエヂア帝国共和 - Joshuedia teikoku kyōwakoku) or Joshuedia is a federal subject of the Fabellan Federation. It is the oldest federal subject of the Federation, as it survived during Enoshima SSR's reign. Therefore, Joshuedia is NEVER an Enoshima Socialist State, even though the Soviet occupation took place since 1935.

The state is the administrative center of the Federation, that is: Dzoshua-gorod, capital of the state, being the home of the House of Legislature, Federative Complex and Nunciature, Emperor Palace, and the Cathedral of Our Lady of Providence of Fabella.

The state is also the seat of the Archdiocese of Joshuedia, the country's first archdiocese which survived during the Enoshima SSR's reign.

Etymology
The 6th Catholic immigrant named Joshelisz, searched for a good place for an administrative center for the Empire. Therefore, after the building of the plazas and centers including the Cathedral, the Tsar named the place after Joshelisz's name.

Survival of the I.R.J
Since 1558, Joshuedia is one of the oldest administrative centers after the Nagestanis (Tudranics).

During Enoshima SSR's reign in 1935-1989, the state was not the Enoshima Socialist State, but all of the plazas and the Cathedral were demolished, thus making the southern-part of Joshuedia, the administrative center for the ESSR is built as Shimansk, in the Enoshima Soviet Region (excluding the whole Joshuedian territory). Catholicism was absent, and the people of the state flocked to refuge areas that are not monitored by the ESSR.

Prior to the Fukanic Restoration, the Joshuedian territory's plan is to end communism before the 90's. Catholic revolutionary Hayate Mistushima, Fukawans, and other armies of the Federation joined as one and attacked ESSR's soldiers. The collapse of Greater Enoshima took place, and the territories were back into its normal state.

The Cathedral is restored since 1995, the plaza's were rebuilt, and the government, the Nadezhda-Mir and it's monarchy has been reformed, thus making Joshuedia once again the administrative center of the Federation.

Pilgrimage
The patron saint of the Federation is the Our Lady of Providence of Fabella. The feast occurs every end of August to the start of September.
