Magisteria

Magisteria, officially known as the Union of Magisterian Socialist Federative States (UMSFS) (French: Union des États Fédératifs Magistere Socialistes; UEFMS), also known as United Magisteria, is a sovereign state that spans from North America to its archipelagic territories in  and in the. A modern-day, it is the only constitutionally in mainland North America. Albeit a one-party state governed by the Communist Party of Magisteria, the Central Executive Committee can have members from political parties that oppose the governing party. The capital is Annesia City and the largest being Dayton, where both cities are located in the Federal Capital Territory. It is one of the largest countries in the world, covering over 938,023 square kilometers (362,172 square miles) and spanning three time zones.

The country's roots lay in the Socialist Revolution of 1938 shortly after the First Magisterian Civil War, when the communist revolutionaries of Martin Jean using their victory as advantage to finally establish a communist government similar to their Russian counterparts. On 31 December 1939, the Union of Magisterian Socialist Federative States was formed after the revolution turned out to be successful, but it led into the second civil war ignited by the radical right-wing organization, the Conservative Revolutionary Movement. The second civil war lasted 2 years, where the CRM was heavily suppressed by the government.

Following the declaration of the formation of the current government, Jean replaced the market economy with a command economy which led to a period of rapid industrialization and collectivization in Magisteria and established a relationship with the Soviet Union. During this period, rapid economic development resulted in dramatic improvements in the average standard of living. During the second World War, the country aligned itself with the Allies and was a major contributor in the battles where the Soviets mainly competed against Nazi Germany.

Following Martin Jean's death in 1954, he was succeeded by Jean-Pierre Segal who introduced a massive economic plan nicknamed the 'Road to the Golden Age' plan which contributed to Magisteria's first economic golden age which lasted from 1956 to 1989, at the peak of the. The Revolutions of 1989 led the country into economic stagnation and later to its third civil war which was started by post-communist protesters supported by the United States. The post-communist protesters was taken down after the final nail on the coffin being the United States denying the request of the protesters to give them weapons.

After the third civil war, Segel announced a new constitution were on the works. He also said that the new constitution is expected to be ratified sometime on September 1992, with a new executive body named the 'Central Executive Committee' being introduced. The third constitution was introduced on 21 September 1992, with the first Central Executive Committee being appointed with Florimond Borde, Wilford Payne, and Valentin Salmon as the first three members.

The country entered their second economic golden age in 1996 when the CEC introduced economic reforms where private and free-market rights along with foreign direct investment were granted. Freedom of expression was also expanded, and opposition parties allowed despite keeping the one-party rule statement in the constitution. During the latter years of the rule of the first Central Executive Committee, Magisteria established relations with the United States and a peace treaty was signed by the two countries.

The first Central Executive Committee officially ended its rule in 2009, and was succeeded by the first all-female Central Executive Committee with Isabelle Duguay, Catherine Travere, and Arielle Lebeau as members. The second committee continued the previous committee's economic golden age, and the expansion of gender equality while also expanding LGBTQ+ rights with the legalisation of same-sex marriage, same-sex couples adoption, gender transition surgery subsidized by the state, and banning all anti-gay discrimination. A coup d'etat attempt to overthrow the communist government occured on December 2012 by right-wing extremists who are said to be allied with prominent far-right groups from the United States. Just like the other civil wars that attempted to overthrow the current government, the coup d'etat failed to overthrow the government and the extremists were immediately arrested and was sentenced to life. The second committee's rule ended in 2018, and was replaced with the third Central Executive Committee with Charles Nishiyama, Athelstan Matthews, and Catherine Fournier-Dixon as members.

Magisteria is a founding and a leading member of the Nations for World Peace (NWP) organization, as well as a key member of the Group of Eight, the, (OECD) and.

Etymology
The name "Magisteria" was reused from the capital city's original name. The name was used in the monarchical dynasty which meant "Master (Magis) of Lands (teria)"

Prehistory
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 and Magisterian Commonwealth: 1792-1901
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 109 years until after years of planning resulted into the establishment of the Magisterian Commonwealth which gave the colony more independence than before.

After the 1907 Imperial Conference, Magisteria, Australia and and several other self-governing British settler colonies were given the status of self-governing "dominions" within the British Empire. The commonwealth would meet its end in 1930 during the Republican Revolution.

Republican Revolution, Republican government introduced, and First Civil War: 1930-1936
The republican revolutionaries abolished the monarchy and formed a new government in Annesia City, declaring itself the legitimate government of the country. This formalised the legal transition of Magisteria from a constitutional monarchy into a new republican system.

The government of Courtois was influenced by both the democracy in the United States and the Soviet Union's socialist policies, which aimed to transition Magisteria from its initial presidential system into a parliamentary system and to introduce socialist reforms in the following years. The government introduced a multi-party system and scheduled the first elections to be held in 1936.

Following the multi-party reforms, many political parties were formed, some of which promoted monarchism, anti-secularism and anti-communism. This prompted protests from the republicans and the socialists, who claimed these parties should not be allowed to enter the elections.

In 1935, ahead of the first elections, General Samuel Dumas of the Magisterian Royal Forces led a coup against the government, abolished the constitution and declared martial law, citing ‘left-wing riots’ as the justification for the military junta he established. He ordered the arrest of President Courtois and the executions of hundreds of revolutionaries and communist politicians, effectively ending the era of the republican government.

In 1936, following the mass executions of the martial law period, communist revolutionaries attempted to seize power from Dumas and led an attack against the new administration. This led to the start of the first Magisterian Civil War, which lasted until 1938.

In 1938, the civil war was brought to an end by the communist revolutionaries led by Martin Jean, which successfully destroyed Dumas' forces and Jean ordered the arrest of Dumas, and he also ordered the release of former president Courtois.

Declaration of the Union of Magisterian Socialist Federative States, and Second Civil War: 1939-1941
During Jean's de-facto rule, Jean used the advantage to establish a communist government in Magisteria and formed the Communist Party. He wrote the declaration of the Union of Magisterian Socialist Federative States, but led into the dissatisfaction of many conservatives especially the underground Conservative Revolutionary Movement. Shortly after the declaration, the CRM's armed wing - the CRM Revolutionary Self-Defense Forces - fired on communist troops, which marked the event that started the Second Magisterian Civil War.

Many historians describe the Second Magisterian Civil War as the 'worst civil war near American borders' thanks to the reported tragedies of the war that resulted in starvation, disease and genocide. Historians evaluate the Second Magisterian Civil War as a proxy war fought between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. As Magisteria destabilized, the horrors got worse. Millions of refugees tried to flee to neighbouring countries, mainly the United States and Canada.

In 1941, the Soviet-backed communist revolutionaries emerged victorious. Jean's first actions after the war were the imprisonment of all the Conservative Revolutionary Movement members and all were later executed by firing squad. Martin Jean's deep hatred on conservatism and fascism grew overtime that Jean led an anti-fascist campaign which ordered the executions of fascist political figures.

Magisteria during World War II: 1941-1945
During the second World War, Magisteria helped their closest ideological ally, the Soviet Union, in the major battles that involved the Soviets. Those battles include the Battle of Stalingrad, Battle of Moscow, and Operation Uranus which all resulted into Soviet victory. Magisteria's help in the mentioned battles solidified Magisteria and the Soviet Union's relationship.

Magisteria after World War II, During the Cold War, Economic stagnation and the Third Civil War: 1945-1991
After the second world war, Magisteria established relations with the Soviet Union and was one of the founding members of the United Nations. Magisteria also established relations with the Eastern Bloc countries, so as with China shortly after Mao Zedong's victory in the Chinese Civil War. Magisteria also joined the Warsaw Treaty Organization, which made them the only North American country in the Warsaw Pact.

Martin Jean began a period of rapid industrialization and collectivization in Magisteria, which was his original plan before the Second Civil War happened. It resulted into rapid economic development resulted in dramatic improvements in the average standard of living, particularly in urban areas. The country saw major reforms under the ideology of Jeanism. Under Jean, Magisteria drastically grew their influence around the world and rose to become the third superpower of the world.

Martin Jean passed away in 1954 due to his failing health and was succeeded by his protege Jean-Pierre Segel, who was the mastermind of Magisteria's first economic golden age in 1956. Their Warsaw Pact membership was met with an abrupt end in 1961 when its location being very close to American borders threatens them, which resulted into the Magisterian-Soviet Split of 1961.

Their first economic golden age ended in 1989 due to the Revolutions of 1989, which resulted into economic stagnation and later to the country's third civil war between the post-communist protesters and the communist government. What would've been a successful revolution during the time of the Revolutions of 1989 turned into a flop as the United States denied the request of the protesters to give them guns, and the protesters were taken down. The third civil war, once again, resulted into communist victory.

Contemporary era: 1991-present
After the third civil war, Segel announced a new constitution were on the works. He also said that the new constitution is expected to be ratified sometime on September 1992, with a new three-member executive body named the 'Central Executive Committee' being introduced. The third constitution was introduced on 21 September 1992, with the first Central Executive Committee being appointed with Florimond Borde, Wilford Payne, and Valentin Salmon as the first three members.

The country entered their second economic golden age in 1996 when the CEC introduced economic reforms where private and free-market rights along with foreign direct investment were granted. Freedom of expression was also expanded, and opposition parties allowed despite keeping the one-party rule statement in the constitution. In 1999, Magisteria established relations with the United States and a peace treaty was signed by the two countries.

The first Central Executive Committee officially ended its rule in 2009, and was succeeded by the first all-female Central Executive Committee with Isabelle Duguay, Catherine Travere, and Arielle Lebeau as members. The second committee continued the previous committee's economic golden age, and the expansion of gender equality while also expanding LGBTQ+ rights with the legalisation of same-sex marriage, same-sex couples adoption, gender transition surgery subsidized by the state, and banning all anti-gay discrimination. A coup d'etat attempt to overthrow the communist government occured on December 2012 by right-wing extremists who are said to be allied with prominent far-right groups from the United States. Just like the other civil wars that attempted to overthrow the current government, the coup d'etat failed to overthrow the government and the extremists were immediately arrested and was sentenced to life.

The second committee's rule ended in 2018, and was replaced with the third Central Executive Committee with Charles Nishiyama, Athelstan Matthews, and Catherine Fournier-Dixon as members.

During the COVID-19 pandemic which commenced in Magisteria in 2020, the government ordered a national lockdown, and free movement across state borders was restricted in an attempt to slow the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The country was declared COVID-19 free in July 2021, which resulted into the third committee's popularity boost.

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.

Economy
Magisteria's high-income mixed command economy is extremely rich in natural resources. It is one of the world's by nominal terms and by purchasing power parity. Magisteria took the record for the longest run of uninterrupted GDP growth in the developed world with the March 2017 financial quarter.

The Magisterian economy revolves around decentralized planning in which the investment and allocation of consumer and capital goods is explicated accordingly to an economy-wide plan built and operatively coordinated through a distributed network of disparate economic agents or even production units itself.

The currency of Magisteria is the Magisterian dollar (MSD or M$), issued by the Federal Monetary Authority of Magisteria (FMAM). FMAM manages its monetary policy by allowing the Magisterian dollar exchange rate to rise or fall within an undisclosed trading band. This is different from most central banks, which use interest rates to manage policy. Magisteria has the world's eighth largest foreign reserves, and one of the highest net international investment position per capita.

Magisteria also has one of the largest surplus based on data from 2019 est. as listed in the CIA World Factbook. The budget surplus of the country is approximately at US$276.23 billion.

Science and technology
In 2019, Magisteria spent approximately $40.3 billion on domestic research and development, of which over $7 billion was provided by the federal and state governments. It is furthermore home to the headquarters of a number of global technology firms. Magisteria has one of the highest levels of Internet access in the world, with 98% of the population using it.

Technological achievements
Magisteria has an impressive tally of technological achievements. The main four technological achievements of Magisteria are:


 * Nanotechnology
 * The use of nanotechnology is extremely prevalent in the country's military, due to its versatility.
 * Robotics
 * Magisteria had the technology to create android infiltrators that are nearly indistinguishable from humans. Several of these infiltrators have been rumored to be infiltrated the United States and China, although the rumors were confirmed to be false as Magisteria has stopped developing robots in 2019.
 * Kinetic-burst weapons
 * The primary anti-infantry weapon technology used by Magisteria. Kinetic-burst weapons are energy weapons that fire superheated slugs instead of conventional bullets, which cause painful lacerations and burns in unarmored targets. No shell casings or physical projectiles are left behind, making residues from these weapons untraceable, and reducing overall weight-of-equipment.
 * Plasma weapons
 * The plasma-cutter cannon is a unique anti-armor weapon developed by Magisteria, capable of melting foot-thick steel in seconds, making them extremely effective against armored vehicles and structures.

Tourism
Tourism is a major industry and contributor to the Magisterian economy, attracting 18.5 million international tourists in 2018. In 2019 tourism contributed directly to about 4% of Magisteria's GDP, down from 2016, when tourism contributed, directly and indirectly, to around 9.9% of Magisteria's GDP. Altogether, the sector generated approximately 8.6% of Magisteria's employment in 2016.

Agriculture
Magisteria is also one of the world's largest suppliers of agricultural products, particularly of wheat and other grains. Magisteria is a major exporter of agricultural products, to the United States and Asia. As with all other developed nations the proportion of the population and GDP devoted to agriculture fell dramatically over the 20th century. The agriculture and agri-food manufacturing sector created $55.3 billion to Magisteria's GDP in 2015, accounting for 2.6% of total GDP.

Government and 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 Union of Magisterian Socialist Federative States (UMSFS) is exercised through the CPM, the Central Executive Committee and its provincial and local representation. Magisteria's five autonomous republics, Caietanus, Charente, Émilienne, Horsfall, and Seine, have multi-party systems separate from the country's one-party system. Aside from the autonomous republics, the UMSFS is divided into 35 states and a federal district.

The Magisterian political system is semi-authoritarian. There are no freely elected national leaders, all religious activity is controlled by the CPM, but political opposition is not suppressed, dissent is allowed and Magisteria currently has one of the best civil rights records in the world. Elections in Magisteria occur both in national and local level.

Communist Party of the Union of Magisterian Socialist Federative States
The Communist Party continues to dominate the Magisterian political landscape. In periods of relative liberalization, the influence of people and groups outside the formal party structure has tended to increase, particularly in the economic realm.

Nevertheless, in all governmental institutions in the UMSFS, the party committees at all levels maintain a powerful and pivotal role in the administration. Central party control is tightest in central government offices and in urban economic, industrial, and cultural settings; it is considerably looser over the government and party establishments in rural areas. The CPM's most important responsibility comes in the selection and promotion of personnel. They also see that party and state policy guidance is followed and that non-party members do not create autonomous organizations that could challenge party rule. Particularly important are the leading small groups which coordinate activities of different agencies. There is no convention that government committees contain at least one non-party member; party membership is a definite aid in the promotion and in being included in crucial policy-setting meetings.

Administrative divisions
Constitutionally, the UMSFS is an asymmetrical federation of thirty-five states, a federal district, and five autonomous republics (Caietanus, Charente, Émilienne, Horsfall, and Seine). In 1992, when the new constitution was adopted, there were thirty-nine states and seven autonomous republics listed, but some were later merged.

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, Chancellor Catherine Fournier-Dixon 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.

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 UMSFS in 1941 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 Union of Magisterian Socialist Federative States is responsible for primary and secondary education, as well as vocational education; while the Ministry of Education and Science of the Union of Magisterian Socialist Federative States 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 of the Union of Magisterian Socialist Federative States oversees the Magisterian public healthcare system, and the sector employs more than two million people.

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.
