Magisteria (French: Magistère), officially the United Magisterian Socialist People's Republics (French: Républiques populaires socialistes unies magistérais), is a country in North America, situated on the mainland of the Magisterian subcontinent, located east of the United States and south of the island of Newfoundland, and considered as a superpower of the world. Magisteria is the largest country by area in the Magisterian subcontinent and the world's eighth-largest country, with a total land area of 2,859,772 km2 (1,104,164 sq mi). It is a megadiverse country, and its size gives it a wide variety of landscapes and climates, with forested mountain valleys in the centre, snowy mountains in the north-east, and rainforests in the south. It shares land borders with Augustina on the northwest, and Tigrisaene on the south.
A federal superstate, it is a union of five socialist people's republics, with smaller "federal socialist states" subdividing the republics, spanning the majority of the subcontinent. It is the world's fifth-most populated country, with a population of 236 million. The national capital is Annesia City, and the nation's most populous city and financial center is Soleildoré, commonly referred to by its former name Dayton.
For thousands of years, indigenous peoples have lived in what is now Magisteria. Beginning in the 16th century, British and French expeditions explored and later colonized along the Atlantic coast, including the island of Magisteria. As a result of numerous violent conflicts, France lost nearly all of its North American colonies in 1763. Magisteria gained dominion status in 1878 and formed the Magisterian Commonwealth via the British Atlantica Act of 1878.
The origins of present-day Magisteria may be traced back to the December 1923 presidential election, where trade union leader Victor Longin of the People's Socialist Party narrowly won the election, beating his three main candidates; George Janvier of the Conservative Party, Jean-Luc Holt of the Centrist Democrats, and Adrien Martel of the National People's Movement. A month after Longin's presidential inauguration in January 1924, General Ronald Ruskin led a successful coup that deposed Longin's government and established a military dictatorship. Ruskin also began imprisoning supporters of Janvier, Holt, Longin, and Martel, but all four had already established breakaway states, the Magisterian Constitutional Commonwealth (Janvier), the Magisterian State (Martel), the Republic of Magisteria (Holt), and the Magisterian Socialist People's Republic (Longin), with Ruskin's remaining territories entirely encircled by the four breakaway states.
Longin declared the 'March Proletarian Revolution' in a fiery address at the Atlantic Pearl Square, now known as Longin Square, in front of a large crowd of Longin supporters on March 5, 1924. The following month, the fascist Magisterian State commenced a military offensive against the Magisterian Socialist People's Republic, officially kicking off the Four-Way Civil War of 1924-28, with Longin's army ultimately winning on October 27, 1928. Shortly after the Declaration of Victory, Longin launched a two-year 'National Reconstruction' plan to restore law and order, as well as economic and social stability. The newly formed government, led by Victor Longin, established the United Magisterian Socialist People's Republics (UMSPR) on November 22, 1930, a union of five socialist people's republics and North America's first constitutionally guaranteed socialist state.
Many historians and economists considered Magisteria's standard of living to be the best under a socialist regime during Longin's 27-year reign, as opposed to its Eastern European counterparts. However, its human rights record was problematic, with reports of torture against Longin's actual and perceived opponents. Following Longin's death in 1951, Charles Edgar Garnier enacted a series of reforms that marked the commencement of a new era for the country. He reformed the Communist Party UMSPR and promoted "Communism with Magisterian characteristics," a Longinist subideology, and drastically reshaped the nation in line with those ideals.
Garnier's government launched economic reforms in the last few years of his leadership that evolved the Magisterian economy away from a semi-centralized planned economy and towards a more market-oriented decentralized planned socialist economy, but the economic reforms were halted by the 1989 Coup d'Etat Falangiste, in which the falangist National Front was suppressed by the Unified People's Armed Forces. Following the coup, Garnier launched the Licenciement Anti-Falangiste, which resulted in the arrest of anybody with ties to any underground Falangist or far-right group. Following that, economic reforms continued, strengthening the nation's economy and improving Magisteria's standard of living in the process.
Magisteria ranks as one of the world's most developed countries. While boasting one of the world's strongest economies and an excellent record in terms of quality of life, Magisteria nonetheless experience restricted political freedoms. It remains a great power in global affairs, being one of the six permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. Magisteria rose to global superpower status with the dissolution of the Soviet Union, thanks to its rising hegemony in Africa and South America, military and economic strengths, and scientific advancements.
Etymology[]
The name "Magisteria" comes from the Latin word 'master'. Magisteria means 'master of lands'.
History[]
Indigenous peoples[]
The First Nations, Inuit, and Abenaki are the indigenous groups still present in Magisteria. The latter group, which is of mixed ancestry and emerged in the middle of the 17th century when First Nations people married European settlers, went on to forge its own identity.
Permanent settlements, agriculture, intricate social structures, and trading networks were traits of Indigenous cultures. By the time European explorers arrived in the late 15th and early 16th century, some of these cultures were already extinct; they were only rediscovered via archeological research.
Between 100,000 and 1.5 million people were thought to be Indigenous at the time of the first European colonies; Magisteria's Federal Commission on Indigenous Peoples acknowledged a value of 450,000. The Indigenous population decreased by 40% to 80% as a result of European colonialism. The decline is attributed to a number of factors, including the introduction of diseases from Europe, such as measles, smallpox, and influenza, to which they lacked natural immunity, disputes over the fur trade, disputes with colonial authorities, and the loss of Indigenous lands to settlers, which led to the subsequent collapse of the self-sufficiency of several nations.
Colonial history[]
French rule: 1617-1792[]
With the establishment of Port Champlain, which would eventually become Annesia City, in 1617, the nation was ruled by France throughout the first half of the country's colonial existence as a part of the New France region in North America. Due to the colonial dispute with Great Britain, the French occupation came to an end, and by 1792, Magisteria was a British colony.
British rule: 1792-1878[]
The colonial battle with France, which was a major factor in Magisteria's conversion to a British colony, marked the beginning of the British era in 1792.
The 1783 Treaty of Paris established the conditions of the peace after the victorious American War of Independence and acknowledged the independence of the newly created United States. British North American territory south of the Great Lakes and east of the Mississippi River were given to the new nation. The Loyalists, or settlers who had fought against American independence, also emigrated in great numbers as a result of the American Revolutionary War. Numerous people emigrated to countries like Canada and Magisteria, where their presence altered the demographic makeup of the local areas.
Dominion and Republic: 1878-1924[]
Following three constitutional conferences, the British Atlantica Act of 1878 formally established the Magisterian Commonwealth on November 15, 1878, with three provinces: Corelli, Kilmarnock, and Glendrissaig at the time. Magisteria took control of the Eastern Magisterian Colonies, where Abenaki complaints sparked the Abenaki Rebellion.
As republicanism became more popular among the people, the British monarchy's grasp lessened. Bradford Keaton, the Governor-General, joined the Republican faction of the ruling Conservative Party, launching the 'Revolution of 1894' that saw the monarchy overthrown and the Republic of Magisteria declared, with Bradford Keaton becoming the first president.
By 1920, President Arnold Arterbury had failed to completely reverse the continuous deterioration of the Magisterian economy, and by 1921, the country had experienced its greatest financial crisis in its history. The rise of radical political groups, ranging from the far-left People's Socialist Party (PSP) to the far-right National People's Movement (NPM), has been spurred by this.
Victor Longin, a trade union leader and General Secretary of the People's Socialist Party, won a narrow victory in the December 1923 presidential election, with Adrien Martel of the National People's Movement coming in second, Jean-Luc Holt of the Centrist Democrats coming in third, and George Janvier of the Conservative Party coming in fourth. Martel refused to accept the results and demanded that they be recounted. Holt and Janvier, like Martel, refused to accept the outcome. Longin called them "reactionaries who ignore the will of the people for personal gain." A month after Longin's presidential inauguration, General Ronald Ruskin led a successful coup that deposed Longin's government and established a military dictatorship.
Communist Magisteria: 1924-present[]
Longin era: 1924-1951[]
Four-Way Civil War: 1924-1928[]
Ruskin attempted to arrest Holt, Janvier, Martel, and Longin, but each of them had already established their own breakaway states: the Magisterian Constitutional Commonwealth (Janvier), the Magisterian State (Martel), the Republic of Magisteria (Holt), and the Magisterian Socialist People's Republic (Longin). Longin delivered a speech in front of a big crowd on March 5, 1924, in the Atlantic Pearl Square, today known as Longin Square. This speech was later referred to as the "Declaration of the March Proletarian Revolution" in Magisterian bibliographies. The fascist Magisterian State launched a military assault against the Magisterian Socialist People's Republic the month after the speech, officially kicking off a four-sided Civil War between the fascists, communists, monarchists, and liberals. The United States intervened by funneling significant sums of money and weaponry to the liberal Holt-led Republic of Magisteria, but corruption, low morale, and incompetence of liberal field marshals significantly undermined the Liberal army.
Longin's army used their industrial power to their advantage, mobilizing a massive army of peasants with their radical land reform program and gradually beginning to win open battles against the Martel-led Magisterian State, the Janvier-led Magisterian Constitutional Commonwealth, and the Holt-led Republic of Magisteria. By 1928, the socialist Workers' Armed Forces had won five major campaigns, forcing the three opposing governments to surrender and absorb their territories.
National Reconstruction: 1928-1930[]
The Civil War had a terrible economic impact. In Magisteria, a black market arose, and the dollar collapsed, with barter quickly replacing money as a medium of transaction. Longin launched a two-year 'National Reconstruction' plan to rebuild the economy and restore national stability and order. On December 31, 1928, the government began a currency re-denomination process from the dollar to the new currency, the franc. The remaining loyalists in the previous three breakaway nations were likewise imprisoned and executed by the Magisterian government under the Transformative Justice Act of 1929.
The Magisterian Socialist People's Republic was recognized by the United Kingdom and the United States on August 2, 1930. The economy had stabilized by November 1930, and law and order had been restored throughout the country, and on November 22, the first Magisterian socialist constitution went into effect, establishing the United Magisterian Socialist People's Republics.
Later years: 1930-1951[]
Longin unveiled the first five-year plan for establishing a socialist economy in 1931. In industry, the state took over all existing businesses and embarked on a massive industrialization program. It followed Vladimir Lenin's 'lead by example' doctrine in agriculture, as opposed to Stalinist forced collectivization. While the first five-year plan was lauded for its tremendous economic growth and rapid improvement in the standard of living, Magisteria was found to have committed severe human rights violations throughout the plan. Longin carried out purges, including public executions and enforced disappearances, to punish both genuine and perceived opposition.
Labour camps, which were part of Longin's extensive network of brutal penal and forced labor facilities, were also established at this time. They were gated and heavily guarded colonies in the country's mountainous highlands where convicts were forced to perform back-breaking labor such as logging, mining, and crop harvesting. The bulk of prisoners were imprisoned for life in these camps, and their living and working conditions were usually deadly. Detainees, for example, were often starved to death, denied medical attention, denied basic shelter and clothes, humiliated, tormented, and killed by guards. Longin's La Terminaison campaign, which sought to eliminate the remaining influences of the Civil War's three defeated breakaway states, resulted in the imprisonment or execution of many liberal, fascist, and monarchist figures, including the assassinations of George Janvier, Jean-Luc Holt, and Adrien Martel.
Victor Longin died of a stroke at the People's Palace on December 19, 1951, at the age of 72. Two days later, the Magisterian government announced Longin's death. The casket holding Longin's remains was placed on display at the Marx Hall in the People's Palace on December 22 and remained there for three days. On December 26, the body was taken to Longin Square, where Charles Edgar Garnier, Jefferson Patenaude, Lilianne St Pierre, and Philippe Bellamy delivered their speeches before pallbearers took the casket to the burial site. A minute of silence was observed nationwide at noon Annesian time while Longin's body was being lowered. Following the minute of silence, sirens and horns sounded across the country, along with a 21-gun salute fired from the Governmental Area of Longin Square. A military band performed "The Internationale" immediately after the silence ended, followed by a military parade in Longin's honor.
Garnier era: 1951-1991[]
Following Longin's death in December 1951, the highest Communist Party officials initially chose to rule Magisteria jointly through a "provisional cabinet" led by Charles Edgar Garnier, who was later elected by the Communist Party as the next General Secretary and later as the next Chairman of the Council of Ministers. In his address on January 1, he condemned the purges that occurred during the first five-year plan, and later enacted reforms that marked the beginning of a new era in Magisteria. Garnier used a strict neutral stance to keep the country out of the concerns of the world's superpowers at the time. He also directed the construction of a new constitution, with changes aimed at strengthening public engagement and democratic representation. The Soviet-Magisterian split occurred on November 11, 1952, in order to align with Garnier's strict neutrality.
Garnier unveiled the first five-year plan under his administration to further strengthen the Magisterian economy in 1953. Garnier's emphasis on equality resulted in the eradication of private property in means of production, with resources allocated using a mix of democratic decision-making and expert analysis. The plan was a major success owing to Garnier's consistent and cautious execution on the plans, with Magisteria beginning its road to become an economic and industrial superpower was the plan's largest achievement, and the nation entering its economic golden era was another.
The second five-year plan under Garnier's administration was Garnier's first and only eight-year plan; it also included social reforms, primarily aimed at women's rights, in response to rising domestic violence reports during that time period. It also witnessed the establishment of a robust social security system, the adoption of universal healthcare, and a massive educational reform aimed at achieving universal literacy. The eight-year plan's major goal was to build rural infrastructure while simultaneously extending agricultural advances to ensure food security. While improving rural infrastructure yielded mixed outcomes, all other measures outperformed those in the eight-year plan. In 1961, Magisteria was one of the founding members of the Non-Aligned Movement, with Charles Edgar Garnier attending the official formation of the organization.
Magisteria experienced rapid economic growth, urbanization, and technological advancements comparable to both the United States and the Soviet Union from the mid-1960s to the late-1970s; the country launched Longin-1, Magisteria's first artificial satellite, in 1962. It was also the period of the Magisterian Sexual Revolution, when the federal government repealed most anti-pornography laws and forbade the classification of homosexuality as a 'mental disorder.'
Garnier announced his new economic plans in 1978, which would drastically transform the command economy into a more decentralized market socialist economy. The reform included five major measures: the establishment of a unified Ministry of the Economy, a decentralizing overhaul of the enterprise incentive system, the opening up of trade to more countries, and, finally, the introduction of market-oriented mechanisms to determine prices, allocate resources, and guide production. The reform was first implemented in 1979 and was executed gradually.
Following the parliamentary election in 1985, reformist politicians, with the support of Charles Edgar Garnier, replaced the "old guard" government with new leadership. On October 22, 1989, the country witnessed large Falangist protests, eventually leading to the Coup d'Etat Falangiste, which saw the imprisonment of National Front leaders and the eventual launch of Licenciement Anti-Falangiste, which resulted in the arrest of anyone with ties to any underground Falangist or far-right group.
Contemporary era: 1991-present[]
Christabelle Sacnicte, 34, led the reformers and was elected as the party's new general secretary, making her the first female leader in Magisterian history. Despite Sacnicte's selection as general secretary, Garnier kept a majority of executive authority for a few months before stepping down in November 1991, after 39 years in power.
A week after Garnier stepped down, Sacnicte formally succeeded Garnier as the country's undisputed leader, later enacting large-scale political and economic changes alongside the "Quintet Expertise," Communist Party members who exercised tremendous influence at the time. With the support of the Quintet Expertise, Sacnicte and the reformers carried out a series of market socialist changes called as "Economic Revamping," which continued the move to a "market socialist mixed economy" under meticulous supervision. Magisteria received its most recent constitutional amendment on December 26, 1991, coinciding with the dissolution of the Soviet Union, in which it enacted important measures to avoid any attempt at power consolidation.
Merton Kynaston took over as General Secretary of the Communist Party and Chairperson of the Council of Ministers in 2007, succeeding Christabelle Sacnicte. Under Kynaston, Magisteria maintained its rapid economic growth, overtaking the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Japan to become the world's third-largest economy. Kynaston also led Magisteria through the storm of the global financial crisis relatively unscathed, greatly increasing Magisteria's international stature. Magisteria's accomplishments under Kynaston included the modernization of Magisterian infrastructure, the launch of Magisteria's first crewed space probe, and the introduction of nanoweapons for the Unified People's Armed Forces.
When Merton Kynaston resigned in 2017, Aurelia Bolton became the country's second Chairwoman, the Communist Party's second female General Secretary, and Magisteria's youngest paramount leader, at the age of 35. Bolton initiated a massive anti-corruption operation shortly after taking power, prosecuting over 650,000 officials by 2022. During her tenure, Bolton implemented major reforms to state-owned companies; a number of heavy industries were deregulated, and many small and medium-sized state-owned companies were closed down or privatized, resulting in the loss of up to 10-25 million jobs. As a result of the reforms, unemployment rose drastically, reaching 40% in some urban areas, and stock markets fluctuated. During the COVID-19 pandemic which commenced in Magisteria in 2020, several of Magisteria's largest cities were locked down for extended periods of time, and free movement across state borders was restricted in an attempt to slow the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
On August 23, 2023, the Federal People's Council unanimously approved a motion to vacate filed by Representative Alyson Lindon, removing Aurelia Bolton from her positions as Chairwoman and General Secretary. Phil Vibert, the Chairperson-designate of the Council of Ministers, seized immediate authority, while the position of Communist Party General Secretary became vacant, and a leadership election was held on September 24, where Vibert won. According to Phil Vibert's instructions, Jean-Louis Layton, First Speaker of the Federal People's Council, was detained on August 31 for corruption and crimes against the state. Layton was imprisoned in a clandestine, tightly guarded facility after being found guilty of corruption accusations, crimes against the state, and more than 157 acts of rape, sexual misconduct, and pedophilia. He was then killed by gunshot on September 2. Vibert served as the Federal People's Council's Acting First Speaker until the Council selected Jeannine Petit as the new First Speaker on September 12.
Vibert's early economic initiatives included the resumption of operations and re-nationalization of several small and medium-sized state-owned companies that had been closed down during Bolton's tenure, resulting in nationwide unemployment rates dropping between 3.5 and 4%.
Geography[]
Magisteria accounts for the bulk of the Magisterian subcontinent, lying atop the Magisterian tectonic plate, a part of the Magisterian-American Plate. It is the eighth-largest country in the world, with a total area of 2,859,772 square kilometres (1,104,164 sq mi).
Government and politics[]
The United Magisterian Socialist People's Republics is a single-party federal Marxist-Longinist union of "socialist people's republics" governed solely by the Communist Party UMSPR, making it one of the world's last communist-ruled countries. The 1956 Magisterian Constitution, which characterized Magisteria as a union of socialist republics, was superseded by the 1977 Constitution, which is "guided by the ideas of Victor Longin, Charles Edgar Garnier and the political and social ideas of Marx, Engels, and Lenin."
Magisteria, unlike its communist counterparts, has the highest Democracy Index score for a communist nation, scoring 6.54 in the 2022 Democracy Index, placing it in the "flawed democracy" category. The country's constitution guarantees journalistic freedom, assembly freedom, reproductive rights, the free establishment of social organizations, and unrestricted Internet access. Despite this, religious freedom is severely curtailed.
The Supreme Federal Court is the highest judicial arm of government in Magisteria. It is also the court of final resort for all appeals from regional court rulings.
The Federal People's Council, Magisteria's national legislature, is a quasi-bicameral body that exercises the country's highest political authority. The Federal People's Council proposes and votes on legislation, as well as overseeing politics in general. Representatives are elected for a term of five years and can be re-elected indefinitely. They are assigned to one of twenty-two trade union groups. All Cabinet members must be Council members. The First Speaker is the Federal People's Council's general presiding officer, elected for a one-year term, and in charge of setting the legislative agenda and timetable. The Inner Council is the Federal People's Council's overseeing body in that it supervises the legislature's administrative functions and grants Final Assent to all passed bills. Likewise, it is used to issue 'Orders-in-Council' that allow decrees and secondary legislation. The Inner Council is nominally chaired by the First Speaker, who delegated this authority to the Deputy Speaker. The Council is made up of thirty-two members elected from trade union groups. The ten largest unions nominate two candidates each, while the others nominate one.
The Chairperson of the Council of Ministers is the executive head of state, de facto head of government, and the commander-in-chief of the Unified People's Armed Forces, elected by the Federal People's Council. Phil Vibert is the current Chairman, who is simultaneously serving as the General Secretary of the Communist Party. The President of the People's Representatives is the de jure head of government and the Deputy to the Chairperson of the Council of Ministers, and they are tasked with overseeing the government's general administration and acting as a link between the national executive and the Federal People's Council, with Sara Sabryna Ayton, who is also the Vice-General Secretary of the Communist Party, being the incumbent President. Georgy Matveyev, who previously served as Minister of Defense in Bolton's government from 2018 to 2023, currently serves as the Vice-President of the People's Representatives. The President of the People's Representatives is officially nominated by the Chairperson and then elected by the Federal People's Council, and has generally been either the second or third-ranking member of the Secretariat. The Federal Commission of the Collective Councils of Republics is the body that represents the five socialist people's republics' 10-member collective cabinets. Each council is led by a President, who is elected by the regional legislatures of their respective republics for a five-year term.
Communist Party UMSPR[]
According to the Communist Party Constitution of 1980, the Communist Party's highest body is the National Congress, which is convened every five years. The Council of Ministers is elected by the National Congress, who then elects the party's Politburo, Secretariat, and the General Secretary (party leader), the country's highest leadership. The General Secretary wields ultimate power and authority over the state and government, acting as the informal paramount leader. The current General Secretary is Phil Vibert, who took office on September 30, 2023. The Communist Party is officially guided by Longinism and Garnier's "Communism with Magisterian characteristics."
Administrative divisions[]
The Magisterian federal union is made up of 97 federal subjects (5 socialist people's republics, 67 federal socialist states, 3 autonomous federal socialist states, 16 federal provinces, and the Federal Capital Territory) that are all equal in federal matters but have six varying levels of autonomy. The five socialist people's republics (Kilmarnockian SPR, Glendrissaigese SPR, Corelian SPR, Cantalian SPR, and Vosgesian SPR) are the most autonomous federal subjects, each with their own constitution. A "federal socialist state" that subdivide one of the five socialist people's republics also have a substantial ethnic minority, but is not allowed to have its own constitution. An autonomous federal socialist state, on the other hand, has the ability to create its own constitution. A federal province has subjects without a substantial ethnic minority, completely equal to a federal socialist state with other rights. The Federal Capital Territory is the federal district that contains the capital of Magisteria, Annesia City.
A 10-member collective cabinet called as the 'Republican Collective Council' governs each SPR and is directly elected by the people for a five-year term. The five SPRs and three AFSSs have equal representation in the Workers' Representatives, with 45 representatives (SPR) and 30 representatives (AFSS) each.
Military[]
The Unified People's Armed Forces (UPAF) is divided into five branches: People's Land Forces, People's Naval Forces, People's Aerial Forces, People's Interplanetary Space Forces, and the People's Constabulary. In absolute terms, Magisterian military spending is in the world's top twenty. As of 2021, the military has around a million active-duty personnel, ranking in the top ten in the world, and approximately 3-25 million reserve members. All male and female citizens aged 18-27 are required to be conscripted for 3-5 months of duty in the Armed Forces.
Magisteria is one of the six recognized nuclear-weapons powers, with the world's third-largest nuclear arsenal. Magisteria has the fourth-largest fleet of ballistic missile submarines in the world and is one of only four countries that operates strategic bombers. It was the world's second-largest arms exporter in 2021, with a strong and totally domestic defense sector that produced the majority of its own military equipment.
Law enforcement[]
Law enforcement in Magisteria is primarily the responsibility of Magisteria's five socialist people's republics, each of which operates republican police agencies. Some cities also have municipal police departments, as required by regional republican law. The federal government provides specialised services and is responsible for the protection of the Magisterian maritime territories. Throughout Magisteria, the police may be reached by the emergency telephone number 9-1-1.
Foreign relations[]
Prior to 1952, Victor Longin moved Magisteria closer to the Soviet Union, eventually becoming a member of the Comintern (1930-1943) and Cominform. After Longin's death, Magisteria adopted a policy of nonalignment in the Cold War after the 1952 Soviet-Magisterian split. It developed close relations with developing countries by having a leading role in the Non-Aligned Movement, as well as maintaining cordial relations with the United States and Western European countries. Magisteria also provided major assistance to anti-colonialist movements in the Third World.
Magisteria has a well-established foreign relations structure, and it had the world's third-largest diplomatic corps in 2019. It is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. Magisteria is a member of the G8, G21, and the Non-Aligned Movement. Almost every nation has an embassy, and many have consulates (formal representations). Except for Bhutan and Paraguay, virtually all states maintain regular diplomatic missions with Magisteria.
Magisteria is also a founding member of the Council of Security and Economic Cooperation (CSEC), an intergovernmental military and economic alliance that was established in 1992, shortly after the fall of the Soviet Union.
Human rights[]
Magisteria, unlike its communist counterparts in Eastern Europe, had a reputation for great human rights throughout the Cold War, earning them praise from human rights groups. Magisteria, seen as a "progressive country," has enacted legislation and policies that promote women's rights, minority rights, and LGBT rights. From the 1970s, gender equality also came high on the state agenda, with the establishment of a public body to promote gender equality, which evolved into the Commission of Gender Equality and Anti-Discrimination. Civil society organisations also continue to play an important role, and the women's rights organisations are today organised in the Alexandra Kollontai Lobby umbrella organisation.
In terms of LGBT rights, Magisteria was the world's second country to pass an anti-discrimination law guaranteeing the rights of homosexuals and lesbians. Magisteria was the second nation to legalize civil union partnerships for same-sex couples in 1994, and on March 31, 2009, it became the seventh country to legalize same-sex marriage.
Economy[]
Magisteria has a mixed economy, characterised by sizeable governmental intervention, five-year plans, and economic diversity. Since the commencement of the Cold War, the Magisterian economy has consistently ranked among the ten largest globally; it is currently the world's fourth-largest by purchasing power parity and the third-largest by nominal GDP. Magisteria is considered an economic power, with membership in the Group of Eight leading industrialised countries and the Group of Twenty-One largest economies.
Magisteria's economy is highly diversified; services represent two-thirds of both the workforce and GDP, while the industrial sector accounts for a fifth of GDP and a similar proportion of employment. Magisteria is the world's fifth-biggest manufacturing country by share of global manufacturing output. Magisteria has a low official unemployment rate of 3.9%. Its foreign exchange reserves are the world's third-largest, worth US$966 billion.
Magisteria's vast geography is an important determinant of its economic activity, with the country holding a large share of the world's natural resources. It is commonly regarded as an energy superpower, with the world's second-largest natural gas reserves, third-largest coal reserves, and ninth-largest oil reserves.
Magisteria is the world's third-largest manufacturer of automobiles. It is frequently regarded as one of the most innovative countries in the world, leading numerous metrics of worldwide patent filings. Magisteria's manufacturing now concentrates on high-tech and precise items such as integrated circuits, hybrid automobiles, and robotics. Aside from the Glendrissaigese SPR, the Kilmarnockian SPR is one of the Magisterian economy's key industrial clusters and manufacturing centers. Magisteria is the second-largest creditor nation in the world.
Science and technology[]
Science and technology are essential to the Magisterian economy. Magisteria spent around 3% of its GDP on research & development in 2019, placing it fifth in the world. It also ranked seventh in the world in terms of scientific publications in 2020, with over 1.4 million papers published. Magisteria ranked second in the Global Innovation Index in 2023, up from seventh in 2021.
Tourism[]
Tourism is a significant business and contributor to the Magisterian economy, with 18.5 million international visitors in 2018. Tourism contributed directly to around 4% of Magisteria's GDP in 2019, a decrease from 2016, when tourism contributed directly and indirectly to approximately 9.9% of Magisteria's GDP, and the industry created approximately 8.6% of Magisteria's jobs.
Agriculture[]
Magisteria is also a major supplier of agricultural products, mainly wheat and other grains. Magisteria is a key agricultural exporter to the United States and Asia. Agriculture accounted up a significant share of the population and GDP in all industrialized countries during the twentieth century. In 2015, the agricultural and agri-food manufacturing industry contributed $55.3 billion to the Magisteria GDP, or for 2.6% of total GDP.
Transportation[]
Transportation is an important part of the Magisterian economy. The federal government owns and maintains the majority of the roads in Magisteria. The federal government funds the majority of the Victor Longin National Highway System, but republican governments maintain it. Tolls are used to fund the construction and maintenance of a handful of private highways in Magisteria.
The Magisterian railway system is notable for its density, service coordination, integration with other modes of transportation, timeliness, and a thriving domestic freight system. This is made possible by stringent truck transport regulations and is made possible by well-coordinated intermodal logistics. Except for a few tracks on which steam locomotives operate for tourism purposes, the majority of its network is electrified. The Magisterian Federal Railways is Magisteria's most notable state-owned railway company.
Magisteria is served by a variety of public transportation options, including bus, rail, ferry, and, on occasion, airline services. The majority of established public transportation systems are located in central, urban areas with sufficient density and public demand to necessitate public transportation.
Support for pedestrian traffic, including people on foot as well as human-powered vehicles such as bicycles, skateboards, and scooters, is a critical component of a suitable urban environment. The federal government implements pedestrian policy. If a pedestrian is crossing the street, all vehicular traffic must stop, whether legally or illegally—no driver has the right to hit a pedestrian under any circumstances.
Media[]
Television[]
Ninety-nine percent of Magisterian households have at least one television, and the majority have multiples. Magisteria's five most significant broadcasters are the MBC Network (MBC), Platinum Television Network (PTV), the Continental Broadcasting System (CBS), Royal Broadcasting Corporation (RBC), and MTV (MTV).
Radio[]
FM and AM are the frequencies used by Magisterian radio. Some stations only broadcast discussion radio, which includes interviews and debates, whereas music radio stations focus on a certain genre of music, such as Top 40, hip-hop, alternative rock, and so on. Radio broadcasting organizations have been more centralized in recent years. Magisterian Public Radio is the nation's principal public radio network.
Motion pictures[]
Since the early twentieth century, Magisteria cinema has had a significant impact on the worldwide film industry. The dominating style of Magisteria cinema is traditional Magisterian cinema, which emerged from 1922 to 1972 and is still prevalent in the majority of films created there today. With more than 600 English-language films released on average each year, it generated the fourth-highest number of films of any national cinema, after India, China, and the United States, as of 2017.
Magazine[]
Magisteria has a significant magazine business, thanks to the enormous size of the English-speaking North American media market, with hundreds of publications addressing practically every interest, as can be seen by looking at any newsstand in any big Magisterian city.
Demographics[]
Population[]
The Magisterian population is projected to have grown to 236,042,522 on June 30, 2023. In 2018, over 90 million immigrants and Magisteria-born offspring of immigrants made up 28% of the entire Magisteria population. Magisteria's population is extraordinarily diverse, with over 37 ancestry groups totalling over one million individuals.
Languages[]
The de facto national languages of Magisteria are English and French. Despite the fact that there is no federal official language, various laws, such as Magisterian naturalization rules, standardize both English and French, and all republics have recognized English and French as official languages.
Education[]
Education is a fundamental right granted to all residents of Magisteria and is provided through public schools and institutions. Under the direction of Charles Edgar Garnier, the education system that developed became internationally acclaimed for its success in eradicating illiteracy and generating a highly educated populace. Its benefits include complete access for all residents and post-education employment.
By law, Magisteria provides free education to its residents. The United Magisterian Socialist People's Republics' Ministry on People's Education is in command of basic and secondary education, as well as vocational education, science and higher education. Magisteria is one of the most educated nations in the world, with the largest proportion of tertiary-level graduates in terms of population, at 72%.
Health[]
The federal government's Ministry of Health is in oversight of Magisterian healthcare. Through a mandatory public single-payer system, Magisteria constitutionally provides free, universal health care to all Magisterian citizens. Financing of healthcare costs is done through a mixture of direct government subsidies, compulsory comprehensive savings, national healthcare insurance, and cost-sharing.
Religion[]
The federal government unofficially espouse state atheism, and have conducted antireligious campaigns to this end. Freedom of religion is guaranteed by Magisteria's constitution, although religious organizations that lack official approval can be subject to state persecution.
Culture[]
Magisteria's culture is impacted by its different nationalities, and efforts that promote a "just society" are officially protected. Magisteria has made equality and inclusion a priority for all of its residents. Multiculturalism is widely regarded as one of Magisteria's most significant achievements, as well as a critical distinguishing aspect of Magisterian identity. The Glendrissaigese SPR has a strong sense of cultural identity, with a French Magisterian culture distinct from the English Magisterian culture. Magisteria, on the other hand, is a cultural mosaic—a collection of regional ethnic subcultures.
Within the last five centuries, nearly all present Magisterians or their ancestors came from Eurafrasia ("the Old World"). Mainstream Magisterian culture is a Western culture influenced by many different sources, primarily the customs of European immigration.
Literature[]
Magisterian literature is frequently divided into French-language literature and English-language literature, which are grounded in French and British literary traditions, respectively. By the 1990s, Magisterian literature was considered to be among the best in the world. Magisteria's ethnic and cultural diversity is reflected in its literature, with many of its most renowned modern writers focusing on ethnic life.
Visual arts[]
Earl Cooper, the country's most famous painter, and Tanner Marlowe have dominated Magisterian visual art. Cooper's career as a painter of Magisterian landscapes lasted a decade, until his death in 1919 at the age of 46.
Sports[]
Magisteria may be traced back to the 1770s, culminating in the formation and popularization of major professional sports like as 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 martial arts studies are popular at the youth and amateur levels.
