The Federal Republic is an expansive, urbanized region in an alternate timeline, covering several thousand square kilometers and boasting a population of more than 50 million people. Its name reflects its origin as a confederation of independent city-states that emerged following the dissolution of a large, centralized empire.
At the close of the 20th century, the Federal Republic arose from the ashes of a fallen empire that once unified the region under a single, powerful government. The collapse spurred numerous city-states to band together for mutual support and defense, agreeing to establish a federalized system of self-rule while maintaining ties through shared resources, cultural exchange, and economic cooperation.
The Federal Republic's political structure is rooted in a democratic government committed to principles of representation, self-determination, and autonomy for its member city-states, which function as semi-autonomous entities. Each city-state has its own constitution and elected council to manage local matters. Meanwhile, a central federal assembly comprised of representatives from each city-state addresses larger policy concerns, including foreign affairs, defense, and economic integration.
The Federal Republic has a diverse, dynamic economy that showcases the strengths of its diverse membership. The region is known for its advanced manufacturing centers, producing advanced tech products, automobiles, and aerospace equipment. It also has a significant banking and finance sector, with global financial influence and banking institutions headquartered in its major cities. Booming agriculture and tourism industries complete the diverse economic landscape, each with thriving internal and export markets.
Culture and society in the Federal Republic reflect the diversity of its many constituent city-states. The region is known for its acceptance and tolerance of people from various cultural backgrounds and religious beliefs. As a result, the Federal Republic has developed a reputation for its strong protections of human rights, including comprehensive anti-discrimination and equal opportunity regimes. This has led to a thriving cultural scene, including performing arts, contemporary and historical visual arts, and culinary traditions.
The Federal Republic stands as a major power within its alternate timeline, ranking among the leading global economies and serving as a key cultural and political hub. However, its diversity also presents internal conflict with various historical grievances and political divides occasionally reemerging. Externally, the Federal Republic faces challenges from rising authoritarian states and hostile nations, particularly regarding securing access to resources and defending its borders.
