<br />
The '''Republic of Galveston''' is a [[micronation]] founded on June 2nd, 2015. It was a result of the split from the [[Federated States]]. One of the senators in the Federated States, Brandon Wu, founded the Republic of Galveston. The Republic of Galveston has citizens, who vote for representatives to vote for them and for their ideas. During Presidential/Senator elections, votes for President/Senate members are determined by the popular vote of the citizens. This means that the Republic of Galveston could technically be a republic with democratic values. The economy of the Republic of Galveston is somewhat socio-economic, because the Republic of Galveston provides free education and healthcare to the citizens, with a slightly higher tax rate. However, free enterprise is encouraged in the Republic for small businesses to flourish.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Founding===<br />
On 2 June 2015, the President and all of the legislature resigned from the [[Federated States]] due to many issues relating to the government. Brandon Wu, one of the members of the Congress, left and founded the Republic of Galveston. The country began with 3 citizens encompassing himself and his family. <br />
<br />
==Government and politics==<br />
The Republic of Galveston is a republic, a state in which the supreme power rests in the body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by representatives chosen directly or indirectly by them; a state in which the head of government is not a monarch or other hereditary head of state. However, during elections for any government positions, the Republic of Galveston uses popular vote of the citizens to determine the winner, rather than using representatives.<br />
<br />
==Law and order==<br />
The current judicial system in the Federated States will be the current county boundaries each having a district court, and a Supreme Court in the capital, Galveston.<br />
<br />
==Foreign relations==<br />
The Republic of Galveston recognizes the following micronations/organizations:<br />
*[[File:Unflag.png|25px|border]] All [[w:United Nations|UN]] members<br />
*[[File:Flag of the Vatican City.svg.png|25px]] [[w:Vatican City|Vatican City/The Holy See]]<br />
*[[File:Flag of Somaliland.png|border|25px]] [[w:Somaliland|Somaliland]]<br />

*[[File:MercianFlag.png|25px]] [[Mercia]]<br />
*[[File:Flag_of_the_Republic_of_Mcarthia.jpg|25px]] [[Republic of Mcarthia]]<br />

*[[File:Flag of Sealand.png|25px]] [[Principality of Sealand]]<br />
*[[File:Bandera_pequeña.jpg|25px]] [[Kingdom of Trebia]]<br />
<br />
==Geography and climate==<br />
The Republic has a humid subtropical climate. While the Republic of Galveston is not located in "Tornado Alley", like much of the rest of Texas, spring thunderstorms sometimes bring tornadoes to the area. Winds are from the south and southeast during the year, which create heat and moisture from the nearby Gulf of Mexico causing humid and hot conditions in the Republic of Galveston. During the summer months, it is common for temperatures to reach over 90 °F , with an average of ~106-107 days per year, including a majority from June to September, with a high of 90 °F or above and ~4 days at or over 100 °F. The Republic of Galveston has mild winters in contrast to most other micronations in the United States. Localized flooding often occurs, owing to the extremely flat topography and widespread clay-silt soil, which do not drain quickly. <br />

<br />
The '''Federated States''', formally the '''Federated States of America''', is a self declared independent state that is internationally recognized as an autonomous region of the United States of America. The nation was originally founded as the '''Republic of Concord''' on August 3, 2014, which is now nationally recognized as the nations' Founder's Day, celebrated as a national holiday. The Federated State's Congress exists in incarnations known as "conventions," of which there have been five: the First, Second, Third, Constitution, and Federal. Up until the Constitution Convention, the conventions had been numbered (i.e. Second Convention), however they have since been given exclusive names. The Federated States of America is composed of six states and one federal district. Each state has the right to create its own laws, given that they do not defy the Charter. The Federal District is the nations capital and is restricted more than the states on its rights.<br />
<br />
The First Convention is generally recognized to have occurred between September 8th and September 29th of 2014. The original convention determined the government structure to be one identical to that of the United States of America, however immediately changes began to be made. The First Convention was openly considered to create a Provisional Government of the states. A major bill passed by the Federated States was to have a multi-party system. Another created the governors of each state become the sole representative of their state in Congress. The final major event during the First Convention was the open war with a nation considering itself the USSR, and claiming a massive section of land comprising of all Europe and Russia. The war ended with a Federation victory.<br />
<br />
The Second Convention was held in December, 2014. It witnessed an important bill that ratified a interpreted version of the United States Constitution as the constitution of the Federated States of America, however this in itself has been interpreted as a bill ratifying a provisional constitution until a more stable governing document might be written, which would later happen. During this convention, it was also resolved unanimously in Congress to cede the Federation states of New Mexico and Colorado back to the United States of America, its American counterpart and technically its federal representation. It was during this time that the first public actions of the Federated States of America began.<br />
<br />
The Third Convention of the Federated States of America, occurring from April 28th to May 1st of 2015, has been possibly the most significant gathering of Federation delegates since the very first. It has seen some of the most important bills in the history of the Federated States. An influential action was the appointment of a Secretary of State. However, a large action during this convention was finally becoming public. The nation became involved in the community, recognized nations, got recognized, developed an economy, developed a ten year plan, and most importantly, established the first official constitution of the Federated States of America, the Articles of Federation and Perpetual Union, creating a permanent government led by Progressive ideals. It was at this convention the words, "Sapientia, Moderatione et Iustitia" were first mentioned, becoming the motto and backbone of the movement.<br />
<br />
The Constitutional Convention, from May 2 to May 12 of 2015, was the one that was originally tasked with the creation of the Charter of the Federated States of America, however following the Vice Presidential Trial incident, in which the Vice President was caught attempting to take action in a violent overthrow of the President, who immediately took action. Although the Congress wanted to put the Vice President on trial, the President claimed that it was legal considering he hadn't taken any violent action as of yet. Thus, the President granted the Vice a full pardon, however requested the Vice President resign and become only a Councilman and a Senator, rather than be an Executive. Following this action, as well a as a failed movement at creating a monarchy, the President declared the Constitution Convention adjourned, and promised a new deal for the people to help them get out of the "Federation's Great Depression."<br />
<br />
The Federal Convention's first session occurred on May 17, 2015 and was the first to be held in the official capitol building, Federal Hall. The first session saw the most bills ever passed in one day in the Federated States. The Federal Convention was the first to officially be kept in formal records, with the bills and the signature of the President recorded in the newly-formed Archives, which are in the Office of the President. It also saw the Federated States claim neutrality in the Israel-Palestine Conflict, and officially recognize the People's Republic of China as the sole government of the nation of China, and recognized the Republic of China only as Taiwan.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
=== Republic of Concord (August 3 - September 8 2014) ===<br />
<br />
The Republic of Concord was founded on August 3rd in a home known today as both the Republic of Concord Historical Site as well as the Federal Hall, the Capitol Building of the Federation. The Republic was founded on the idea of a small-government and a right wing state led by the people. It, however, was not secessionist, and in fact far from it, being inspired by the idea of a simulationist micronation.<br />
old <br />
As it was the reigning micronational power in the area at that time, it expanded its territory to engulf the entire Gulf Coast. It was still a quiet, non-recognized micronation, so nobody was able to contest the claim. In turn the Republic of Concord, with an official population of 1 citizen, was able to carry out on a whim whatsoever they desired. One significant action the Republic took, was the creation of a Concordian Factbook. There was also a brief attempt at printing currency, albeit a failure.. By September, the Republic of Concord had fallen into a state of inactivity. A meeting was then called upon with some non-aligned people, who soon after applied for citizenship in the Republic. As expected, these people were soon brought into the government, which it was then agreed should be altered greatly.<br />
<br />
=== The First Convention (September 8 - September 28 2014) === <br />
<br />
Immediately after, it was decided to expand the Republic of Concord, and it was also determined that a new name should be assumed. It was decided that the Federated States of America would fit the task to their liking. Soon after, the Federated States rapidly extended their original land claim to encompass the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, and Illinois. The newly formed Federation Congress was led by a figure then known as the Head of State, and who was also considered to be the Provisional Governor for all states not yet under official representation. By September 10, a new federal government and state governments were officially declared. However, the nation was still publicly unrecognized, an issue delayed by the First Convention. This first convention also unofficially sided with Israel in the Israel-Palestine conflict.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nunst020.gif|200px|thumb|right|Seal of the Flag of the First Convention]]<br />
<br />
For a Charter, The Federated States of America Congress decided to hold off on an official governing document, and instead chose to use an interpreted version of the Constitution of the United States of America, with a Bill of Rights reformed to the original amendments. The First Convention deemed the idea of a Declaration of Independence unnecessary, especially "Considering the upcoming Presidential Elections in the United States of America, official separation seems like an unwise move at this time." It was also considered making communications with the United States, however that was also deemed unnecessary.<br />
<br />
Around September 23rd, an aggressive simulation micronation known as the USSR, claiming to have absolute right to the entire European Continent, as well as the entire nation of Russia. The Federated States of America, in fear of their national security, attempted to extend a formal olive branch to the USSR, however the USSR denied the claim that they had no effective control over the lands that they claimed. The USSR also made threats against the Federated States of America and its people, and on September 23, 2014, the FSA-USSR War began. Using unique tactics, traditional commander-in-chief, The President, called upon the army, which was not yet formed, and prepared for war. The Declaration of War against the USSR by The President of the Federated States of America ordered on September 23rd brought upon a 1-hour long battle known as the Battle of Spring Hill, in which the Federated States Army, led by the Commander-in-chief, marched upon outnumbered USSR soldiers and attacked, barraging the enemy. Within the hour the war was over, and the USSR surrendered to American soldiers.<br />
<br />
By September 29th, the USSR surrendered its entire army to the force of the Federated States of America. Terms of surrender were that the USSR would cease hostile threats, as well as give up its entire claim of land. The latter demand was not accepted by the USSR. The President then stated, "Please, friends, I promise to every single man and women here today that the USSR will fall by the end of this convention. Later that day, the USSR collapsed with no final words, and a weak army. With that action, the First Convention was declared adjourned.<br />
<br />
=== The Second Convention & The Progressive Movement (December 8 - December 18 2014) ===<br />
<br />
Following the Congressional recess, the President of the Federated States of America called the Congress forward to a Second Convention, hoping to advance the success of the Federation even more than in the previous convention. It wasn't until the day following that Congress joined together once again, on the date generally recognized as December 8, 2014. It seemed, by the first day in the Second Convention, that something had changed within the minds of Congress. However, it wouldn't be until December 10 that the times in the Federated States hit an all-time low, which, for a micronation still attempting to establish itself, was not the best possible outcome of the new convention.<br />
<br />
On December 10, while an informal convention of Congress was in session, what is known as the "Climax of the Federation's Progressive Movement" began. What has come to be known as the Wunderlich Revolt began on that cold, dry afternoon. It was a force for change in the Federation government, which is known now as the "Federalist Interpretation of Fascism", in which many bills were passed by an aristocratic congress calling for a new government, and a transition from the former Federated States of America to the State of New Spain, led by an authoritarian president and an aristocratic ministry. Fortunately, the documents outlining the many reforms were lost during the plot to side with Russia in the many conflicts involving Ukraine, and, as a result, by the next week, most details on the idea were lost, however some information is still publicly known. For one, the President would become more authoritarian, the government turned almost completely fascist, and the Congress reformed into an aristocracy of ministers. Although no one spoke out against it, it is generally recognized that the public did not support the reforms.<br />
[[File:4195074.gif|200px|thumb|right|Flag of the Second Convention and State of New Spain]]<br />
After the reform project, the Progressive Movement slowly died, falling into nothing as the nation continued on with its attempts to calm the recent reforms and recover and stabilize to the position in which it was before the Second Convention, generally recognized as a failure. However, although the convention was largely a fiasco, it has long been recognized that it is possible that, at least at the time, more bills, as well as overall more action, occurred in Congress during the Second Convention than any other period since the first founding of the Federation. Therefore, the remainder of the Second Convention was spent retrieving what was lost by the Revolt. The Convention, never officially adjourned, died around December 18. The ending effects of the Second Convention included the fold of the Federalist Party, and the Progressive Party replacing the Federalists.<br />
<br />
=== The Third Convention (April 20 - May 1 2015) ===<br />
<br />
The end of the Progressive era, as well as the Second Convention and the State of New Spain, had occurred over 4 months ago. The longest idle in the history of the Federated States of America had occurred, and people had begun to grow restless for a new convention to move on from the Second Convention of the prior December. After exchanging words, the President and Vice President saw it fit to call Congress once again, and they both agreed the new convention had potential superior to either of the first two. This discussion occurred over the weekend of April 18 and April 19, and on April 20, Congress was finally called to meet for a convention. The Third Convention, it was agreed and executed, to focus primarily on diplomacy. For the first time, the Federated States of America received recognition, as well as offered recognition. It also saw the grand opening of the website, the establishment of future goals, and preparations for the Federation's Charter. The Third Convention almost passed the second convention for bills passed, and saw multiple positive reforms. It witnessed the first citizenship application as well. <br />
<br />
Since the Second Convention as well as the Progressive era, the major political party and the only official one in the government, the Federalist Party, folded, leaving no political parties. During the beginning of the Third Convention, many people, including the President, categorized themselves under the Progressive Party, although it never became officially or federally recognized. At this time, because most bills were regarding foreign affairs, there was not very much going on politically during the Third Convention, and thus, political parties were not really needed. However, towards the end of the Third Convention, two parties began to rise, the former Federalist Party and the President's Know Nothing Party, unaffiliated to the Know Nothing Party of the United States of America during the 1800's.\<br />
<br />
Likely the most important event during the Third Convention were the beginning stages of the Charter of the Federated States of America, the second Constitution of the nation, which accounted for several reforms. Other important reforms and bills passed were budgets, income plans, opening of trade routes, and many more which made this convention crucial to the welfare of the nation.<br />

The '''Federated States''', formally the '''Federated States of America''', is a self declared independent state that is internationally recognized as an autonomous region of the United States of America. The nation was originally founded as the '''Republic of Concord''' on August 3, 2014, which is now nationally recognized as the nations' Founder's Day, celebrated as a national holiday. The Federated State's Congress exists in incarnations known as "conventions," of which there have been five: the First, Second, Third, Constitution, and Federal. Up until the Constitution Convention, the conventions had been numbered (i.e. Second Convention), however they have since been given exclusive names. The Federated States of America is composed of six states and one federal district. Each state has the right to create its own laws, given that they do not defy the Charter. The Federal District is the nations capital and is restricted more than the states on its rights.<br />
<br />
The First Convention is generally recognized to have occurred between September 8th and September 29th of 2014. The original convention determined the government structure to be one identical to that of the United States of America, however immediately changes began to be made. The First Convention was openly considered to create a Provisional Government of the states. A major bill passed by the Federated States was to have a multi-party system. Another created the governors of each state become the sole representative of their state in Congress. The final major event during the First Convention was the open war with a nation considering itself the USSR, and claiming a massive section of land comprising of all Europe and Russia. The war ended with a Federation victory.<br />
<br />
The Second Convention was held in December, 2014. It witnessed an important bill that ratified a interpreted version of the United States Constitution as the constitution of the Federated States of America, however this in itself has been interpreted as a bill ratifying a provisional constitution until a more stable governing document might be written, which would later happen. During this convention, it was also resolved unanimously in Congress to cede the Federation states of New Mexico and Colorado back to the United States of America, its American counterpart and technically its federal representation. It was during this time that the first public actions of the Federated States of America began.<br />
<br />
The Third Convention of the Federated States of America, occurring from April 28th to May 1st of 2015, has been possibly the most significant gathering of Federation delegates since the very first. It has seen some of the most important bills in the history of the Federated States. An influential action was the appointment of a Secretary of State. However, a large action during this convention was finally becoming public. The nation became involved in the community, recognized nations, got recognized, developed an economy, developed a ten year plan, and most importantly, established the first official constitution of the Federated States of America, the Articles of Federation and Perpetual Union, creating a permanent government led by Progressive ideals. It was at this convention the words, "Sapientia, Moderatione et Iustitia" were first mentioned, becoming the motto and backbone of the movement.<br />
<br />
The Constitutional Convention, from May 2 to May 12 of 2015, was the one that was originally tasked with the creation of the Charter of the Federated States of America, however following the Vice Presidential Trial incident, in which the Vice President was caught attempting to take action in a violent overthrow of the President, who immediately took action. Although the Congress wanted to put the Vice President on trial, the President claimed that it was legal considering he hadn't taken any violent action as of yet. Thus, the President granted the Vice a full pardon, however requested the Vice President resign and become only a Councilman and a Senator, rather than be an Executive. Following this action, as well a as a failed movement at creating a monarchy, the President declared the Constitution Convention adjourned, and promised a new deal for the people to help them get out of the "Federation's Great Depression."<br />
<br />
The Federal Convention's first session occurred on May 17, 2015 and was the first to be held in the official capitol building, Federal Hall. The first session saw the most bills ever passed in one day in the Federated States. The Federal Convention was the first to officially be kept in formal records, with the bills and the signature of the President recorded in the newly-formed Archives, which are in the Office of the President. It also saw the Federated States claim neutrality in the Israel-Palestine Conflict, and officially recognize the People's Republic of China as the sole government of the nation of China, and recognized the Republic of China only as Taiwan.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
=== Republic of Concord (August 3 - September 8 2014) ===<br />
<br />
The Republic of Concord was founded on August 3rd in a home known today as both the Republic of Concord Historical Site as well as the Federal Hall, the Capitol Building of the Federation. The Republic was founded on the idea of a small-government and a right wing state led by the people. It, however, was not secessionist, and in fact far from it, being inspired by the idea of a simulationist micronation.<br />
old <br />
As it was the reigning micronational power in the area at that time, it expanded its territory to engulf the entire Gulf Coast. It was still a quiet, non-recognized micronation, so nobody was able to contest the claim. In turn the Republic of Concord, with an official population of 1 citizen, was able to carry out on a whim whatsoever they desired. One significant action the Republic took, was the creation of a Concordian Factbook. There was also a brief attempt at printing currency, albeit a failure.. By September, the Republic of Concord had fallen into a state of inactivity. A meeting was then called upon with some non-aligned people, who soon after applied for citizenship in the Republic. As expected, these people were soon brought into the government, which it was then agreed should be altered greatly.<br />
<br />
=== The First Convention (September 8 - September 28 2014) === <br />
<br />
Immediately after, it was decided to expand the Republic of Concord, and it was also determined that a new name should be assumed. It was decided that the Federated States of America would fit the task to their liking. Soon after, the Federated States rapidly extended their original land claim to encompass the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, and Illinois. The newly formed Federation Congress was led by a figure then known as the Head of State, and who was also considered to be the Provisional Governor for all states not yet under official representation. By September 10, a new federal government and state governments were officially declared. However, the nation was still publicly unrecognized, an issue delayed by the First Convention. This first convention also unofficially sided with Israel in the Israel-Palestine conflict.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nunst020.gif|200px|thumb|right|Seal of the Flag of the First Convention]]<br />
<br />
For a Charter, The Federated States of America Congress decided to hold off on an official governing document, and instead chose to use an interpreted version of the Constitution of the United States of America, with a Bill of Rights reformed to the original amendments. The First Convention deemed the idea of a Declaration of Independence unnecessary, especially "Considering the upcoming Presidential Elections in the United States of America, official separation seems like an unwise move at this time." It was also considered making communications with the United States, however that was also deemed unnecessary.<br />
<br />
Around September 23rd, an aggressive simulation micronation known as the USSR, claiming to have absolute right to the entire European Continent, as well as the entire nation of Russia. The Federated States of America, in fear of their national security, attempted to extend a formal olive branch to the USSR, however the USSR denied the claim that they had no effective control over the lands that they claimed. The USSR also made threats against the Federated States of America and its people, and on September 23, 2014, the FSA-USSR War began. Using unique tactics, traditional commander-in-chief, The President, called upon the army, which was not yet formed, and prepared for war. The Declaration of War against the USSR by The President of the Federated States of America ordered on September 23rd brought upon a 1-hour long battle known as the Battle of Spring Hill, in which the Federated States Army, led by the Commander-in-chief, marched upon outnumbered USSR soldiers and attacked, barraging the enemy. Within the hour the war was over, and the USSR surrendered to American soldiers.<br />
<br />
By September 29th, the USSR surrendered its entire army to the force of the Federated States of America. Terms of surrender were that the USSR would cease hostile threats, as well as give up its entire claim of land. The latter demand was not accepted by the USSR. The President then stated, "Please, friends, I promise to every single man and women here today that the USSR will fall by the end of this convention. Later that day, the USSR collapsed with no final words, and a weak army. With that action, the First Convention was declared adjourned.<br />
<br />
=== The Second Convention & The Progressive Movement (December 8 - December 18 2014) ===<br />
<br />
Following the Congressional recess, the President of the Federated States of America called the Congress forward to a Second Convention, hoping to advance the success of the Federation even more than in the previous convention. It wasn't until the day following that Congress joined together once again, on the date generally recognized as December 8, 2014. It seemed, by the first day in the Second Convention, that something had changed within the minds of Congress. However, it wouldn't be until December 10 that the times in the Federated States hit an all-time low, which, for a micronation still attempting to establish itself, was not the best possible outcome of the new convention.<br />
<br />
On December 10, while an informal convention of Congress was in session, what is known as the "Climax of the Federation's Progressive Movement" began. What has come to be known as the Wunderlich Revolt began on that cold, dry afternoon. It was a force for change in the Federation government, which is known now as the "Federalist Interpretation of Fascism", in which many bills were passed by an aristocratic congress calling for a new government, and a transition from the former Federated States of America to the State of New Spain, led by an authoritarian president and an aristocratic ministry. Fortunately, the documents outlining the many reforms were lost during the plot to side with Russia in the many conflicts involving Ukraine, and, as a result, by the next week, most details on the idea were lost, however some information is still publicly known. For one, the President would become more authoritarian, the government turned almost completely fascist, and the Congress reformed into an aristocracy of ministers. Although no one spoke out against it, it is generally recognized that the public did not support the reforms.<br />
[[File:4195074.gif|200px|thumb|right|Flag of the Second Convention and State of New Spain]]<br />
After the reform project, the Progressive Movement slowly died, falling into nothing as the nation continued on with its attempts to calm the recent reforms and recover and stabilize to the position in which it was before the Second Convention, generally recognized as a failure. However, although the convention was largely a fiasco, it has long been recognized that it is possible that, at least at the time, more bills, as well as overall more action, occurred in Congress during the Second Convention than any other period since the first founding of the Federation. Therefore, the remainder of the Second Convention was spent retrieving what was lost by the Revolt. The Convention, never officially adjourned, died around December 18. The ending effects of the Second Convention included the fold of the Federalist Party, and the Progressive Party replacing the Federalists.<br />
<br />
=== The Third Convention (April 20 - May 1 2015) ===<br />
<br />
The end of the Progressive era, as well as the Second Convention and the State of New Spain, had occurred over 4 months ago. The longest idle in the history of the Federated States of America had occurred, and people had begun to grow restless for a new convention to move on from the Second Convention of the prior December. After exchanging words, the President and Vice President saw it fit to call Congress once again, and they both agreed the new convention had potential superior to either of the first two. This discussion occurred over the weekend of April 18 and April 19, and on April 20, Congress was finally called to meet for a convention. The Third Convention, it was agreed and executed, to focus primarily on diplomacy. For the first time, the Federated States of America received recognition, as well as offered recognition. It also saw the grand opening of the website, the establishment of future goals, and preparations for the Federation's Charter. The Third Convention almost passed the second convention for bills passed, and saw multiple positive reforms. It witnessed the first citizenship application as well. <br />
<br />
Since the Second Convention as well as the Progressive era, the major political party and the only official one in the government, the Federalist Party, folded, leaving no political parties. During the beginning of the Third Convention, many people, including the President, categorized themselves under the Progressive Party, although it never became officially or federally recognized. At this time, because most bills were regarding foreign affairs, there was not very much going on politically during the Third Convention, and thus, political parties were not really needed. However, towards the end of the Third Convention, two parties began to rise, the former Federalist Party and the President's Know Nothing Party, unaffiliated to the Know Nothing Party of the United States of America during the 1800's.\<br />
<br />
Likely the most important event during the Third Convention were the beginning stages of the Charter of the Federated States of America, the second Constitution of the nation, which accounted for several reforms. Other important reforms and bills passed were budgets, income plans, opening of trade routes, and many more which made this convention crucial to the welfare of the nation.<br />

The '''Federated States''', formally the '''Federated States of America''', is a self declared independent state that is internationally recognized as an autonomous region of the United States of America.

What has come to be known as the Wunderlich Revolt began on that cold, dry afternoon. It was a force for change in the Federation government, which is known now as the "Federalist Interpretation of Fascism", in which many bills were passed by an aristocratic congress calling for a new government, and a transition from the former Federated States of America to the State of New Spain, led by an authoritarian president and an aristocratic ministry. Fortunately, the documents outlining the many reforms were lost during the plot to side with Russia in the many conflicts involving Ukraine, and, as a result, by the next week, most details on the idea were lost, however some information is still publicly known. For one, the President would become more authoritarian, the government turned almost completely fascist, and the Congress reformed into an aristocracy of ministers. Although no one spoke out against it, it is generally recognized that the public did not support the reforms.<br />
[[File:4195074.gif|200px|thumb|right|Flag of the Second Convention and State of New Spain]]<br />
After the reform project, the Progressive Movement slowly died, falling into nothing as the nation continued on with its attempts to calm the recent reforms and recover and stabilize to the position in which it was before the Second Convention, generally recognized as a failure. However, although the convention was largely a fiasco, it has long been recognized that it is possible that, at least at the time, more bills, as well as overall more action, occurred in Congress during the Second Convention than any other period since the first founding of the Federation. Therefore, the remainder of the Second Convention was spent retrieving what was lost by the Revolt. The Convention, never officially adjourned, died around December 18. The ending effects of the Second Convention included the fold of the Federalist Party, and the Progressive Party replacing the Federalists.<br />
<br />
=== The Third Convention (April 20 - May 1 2015) ===<br />
<br />
The end of the Progressive era, as well as the Second Convention and the State of New Spain, had occurred over 4 months ago. The longest idle in the history of the Federated States of America had occurred, and people had begun to grow restless for a new convention to move on from the Second Convention of the prior December. After exchanging words, the President and Vice President saw it fit to call Congress once again, and they both agreed the new convention had potential superior to either of the first two. This discussion occurred over the weekend of April 18 and April 19, and on April 20, Congress was finally called to meet for a convention. The Third Convention, it was agreed and executed, to focus primarily on diplomacy. For the first time, the Federated States of America received recognition, as well as offered recognition. It also saw the grand opening of the website, the establishment of future goals, and preparations for the Federation's Charter. The Third Convention almost passed the second convention for bills passed, and saw multiple positive reforms. It witnessed the first citizenship application as well. <br />
<br />
Since the Second Convention as well as the Progressive era, the major political party and the only official one in the government, the Federalist Party, folded, leaving no political parties. During the beginning of the Third Convention, many people, including the President, categorized themselves under the Progressive Party, although it never became officially or federally recognized. At this time, because most bills were regarding foreign affairs, there was not very much going on politically during the Third Convention, and thus, political parties were not really needed. However, towards the end of the Third Convention, two parties began to rise, the former Federalist Party and the President's Know Nothing Party, unaffiliated to the Know Nothing Party of the United States of America during the 1800's.\<br />
<br />
Likely the most important event during the Third Convention were the beginning stages of the Charter of the Federated States of America, the second Constitution of the nation, which accounted for several reforms. Other important reforms and bills passed were budgets, income plans, opening of trade routes, and many more which made this convention crucial to the welfare of the nation.<br />

The '''Federated States''', formally the '''Federated States of America''', is a self declared independent state that is internationally recognized as an autonomous region of the United States of America. The nation was originally founded as the '''Republic of Concord''' on August 3, 2014, which is now nationally recognized as the nations' Founder's Day, celebrated as a national holiday. The Federated State's Congress exists in incarnations known as "conventions," of which there have been five: the First, Second, Third, Constitution, and Federal. Up until the Constitution Convention, the conventions had been numbered (i.e. Second Convention), however they have since been given exclusive names. The Federated States of America is composed of six states and one federal district. Each state has the right to create its own laws, given that they do not defy the Charter. The Federal District is the nations capital and is restricted more than the states on its rights.<br />
<br />
The First Convention is generally recognized to have occurred between September 8th and September 29th of 2014. The original convention determined the government structure to be one identical to that of the United States of America, however immediately changes began to be made. The First Convention was openly considered to create a Provisional Government of the states. A major bill passed by the Federated States was to have a multi-party system. Another created the governors of each state become the sole representative of their state in Congress. The final major event during the First Convention was the open war with a nation considering itself the USSR, and claiming a massive section of land comprising of all Europe and Russia. The war ended with a Federation victory.<br />
<br />
The Second Convention was held in December, 2014. It witnessed an important bill that ratified a interpreted version of the United States Constitution as the constitution of the Federated States of America, however this in itself has been interpreted as a bill ratifying a provisional constitution until a more stable governing document might be written, which would later happen. During this convention, it was also resolved unanimously in Congress to cede the Federation states of New Mexico and Colorado back to the United States of America, its American counterpart and technically its federal representation. It was during this time that the first public actions of the Federated States of America began.<br />
<br />
The Third Convention of the Federated States of America, occurring from April 28th to May 1st of 2015, has been possibly the most significant gathering of Federation delegates since the very first. It has seen some of the most important bills in the history of the Federated States. An influential action was the appointment of a Secretary of State. However, a large action during this convention was finally becoming public. The nation became involved in the community, recognized nations, got recognized, developed an economy, developed a ten year plan, and most importantly, established the first official constitution of the Federated States of America, the Articles of Federation and Perpetual Union, creating a permanent government led by Progressive ideals. It was at this convention the words, "Sapientia, Moderatione et Iustitia" were first mentioned, becoming the motto and backbone of the movement.<br />
<br />
The Constitutional Convention, from May 2 to May 12 of 2015, was the one that was originally tasked with the creation of the Charter of the Federated States of America, however following the Vice Presidential Trial incident, in which the Vice President was caught attempting to take action in a violent overthrow of the President, who immediately took action. Although the Congress wanted to put the Vice President on trial, the President claimed that it was legal considering he hadn't taken any violent action as of yet. Thus, the President granted the Vice a full pardon, however requested the Vice President resign and become only a Councilman and a Senator, rather than be an Executive. Following this action, as well a as a failed movement at creating a monarchy, the President declared the Constitution Convention adjourned, and promised a new deal for the people to help them get out of the "Federation's Great Depression."<br />
<br />
The Federal Convention's first session occurred on May 17, 2015 and was the first to be held in the official capitol building, Federal Hall. The first session saw the most bills ever passed in one day in the Federated States. The Federal Convention was the first to officially be kept in formal records, with the bills and the signature of the President recorded in the newly-formed Archives, which are in the Office of the President. It also saw the Federated States claim neutrality in the Israel-Palestine Conflict, and officially recognize the People's Republic of China as the sole government of the nation of China, and recognized the Republic of China only as Taiwan.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
=== Republic of Concord (August 3 - September 8 2014) ===<br />
<br />
The Republic of Concord was founded on August 3rd in a home known today as both the Republic of Concord Historical Site as well as the Federal Hall, the Capitol Building of the Federation. The Republic was founded on the idea of a small-government and a right wing state led by the people. It, however, was not secessionist, and in fact far from it, being inspired by the idea of a simulationist micronation.<br />
old <br />
As it was the reigning micronational power in the area at that time, it expanded its territory to engulf the entire Gulf Coast. It was still a quiet, non-recognized micronation, so nobody was able to contest the claim. In turn the Republic of Concord, with an official population of 1 citizen, was able to carry out on a whim whatsoever they desired. One significant action the Republic took, was the creation of a Concordian Factbook. There was also a brief attempt at printing currency, albeit a failure.. By September, the Republic of Concord had fallen into a state of inactivity. A meeting was then called upon with some non-aligned people, who soon after applied for citizenship in the Republic. As expected, these people were soon brought into the government, which it was then agreed should be altered greatly.<br />
<br />
=== The First Convention (September 8 - September 28 2014) === <br />
<br />
Immediately after, it was decided to expand the Republic of Concord, and it was also determined that a new name should be assumed. It was decided that the Federated States of America would fit the task to their liking. Soon after, the Federated States rapidly extended their original land claim to encompass the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, and Illinois. The newly formed Federation Congress was led by a figure then known as the Head of State, and who was also considered to be the Provisional Governor for all states not yet under official representation. By September 10, a new federal government and state governments were officially declared. However, the nation was still publicly unrecognized, an issue delayed by the First Convention. This first convention also unofficially sided with Israel in the Israel-Palestine conflict.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nunst020.gif|200px|thumb|right|Seal of the Flag of the First Convention]]<br />
<br />
For a Charter, The Federated States of America Congress decided to hold off on an official governing document, and instead chose to use an interpreted version of the Constitution of the United States of America, with a Bill of Rights reformed to the original amendments. The First Convention deemed the idea of a Declaration of Independence unnecessary, especially "Considering the upcoming Presidential Elections in the United States of America, official separation seems like an unwise move at this time." It was also considered making communications with the United States, however that was also deemed unnecessary.<br />
<br />
Around September 23rd, an aggressive simulation micronation known as the USSR, claiming to have absolute right to the entire European Continent, as well as the entire nation of Russia. The Federated States of America, in fear of their national security, attempted to extend a formal olive branch to the USSR, however the USSR denied the claim that they had no effective control over the lands that they claimed. The USSR also made threats against the Federated States of America and its people, and on September 23, 2014, the FSA-USSR War began. Using unique tactics, traditional commander-in-chief, The President, called upon the army, which was not yet formed, and prepared for war. The Declaration of War against the USSR by The President of the Federated States of America ordered on September 23rd brought upon a 1-hour long battle known as the Battle of Spring Hill, in which the Federated States Army, led by the Commander-in-chief, marched upon outnumbered USSR soldiers and attacked, barraging the enemy. Within the hour the war was over, and the USSR surrendered to American soldiers.<br />
<br />
By September 29th, the USSR surrendered its entire army to the force of the Federated States of America. Terms of surrender were that the USSR would cease hostile threats, as well as give up its entire claim of land. The latter demand was not accepted by the USSR. The President then stated, "Please, friends, I promise to every single man and women here today that the USSR will fall by the end of this convention. Later that day, the USSR collapsed with no final words, and a weak army. With that action, the First Convention was declared adjourned.<br />
<br />
=== The Second Convention & The Progressive Movement (December 8 - December 18 2014) ===<br />
<br />
Following the Congressional recess, the President of the Federated States of America called the Congress forward to a Second Convention, hoping to advance the success of the Federation even more than in the previous convention. It wasn't until the day following that Congress joined together once again, on the date generally recognized as December 8, 2014. It seemed, by the first day in the Second Convention, that something had changed within the minds of Congress. However, it wouldn't be until December 10 that the times in the Federated States hit an all-time low, which, for a micronation still attempting to establish itself, was not the best possible outcome of the new convention.<br />
<br />
On December 10, while an informal convention of Congress was in session, what is known as the "Climax of the Federation's Progressive Movement" began. What has come to be known as the Wunderlich Revolt began on that cold, dry afternoon. It was a force for change in the Federation government, which is known now as the "Federalist Interpretation of Fascism", in which many bills were passed by an aristocratic congress calling for a new government, and a transition from the former Federated States of America to the State of New Spain, led by an authoritarian president and an aristocratic ministry. Fortunately, the documents outlining the many reforms were lost during the plot to side with Russia in the many conflicts involving Ukraine, and, as a result, by the next week, most details on the idea were lost, however some information is still publicly known. For one, the President would become more authoritarian, the government turned almost completely fascist, and the Congress reformed into an aristocracy of ministers. Although no one spoke out against it, it is generally recognized that the public did not support the reforms.<br />

The ending effects of the Second Convention included the fold of the Federalist Party, and the Progressive Party replacing the Federalists.<br />
<br />
=== The Third Convention (April 20 - May 1 2015) ===<br />
<br />
The end of the Progressive era, as well as the Second Convention and the State of New Spain, had occurred over 4 months ago. The longest idle in the history of the Federated States of America had occurred, and people had begun to grow restless for a new convention to move on from the Second Convention of the prior December. After exchanging words, the President and Vice President saw it fit to call Congress once again, and they both agreed the new convention had potential superior to either of the first two.

The original convention determined the government structure to be one identical to that of the United States of America, however immediately changes began to be made. The First Convention was openly considered to create a Provisional Government of the states. A major bill passed by the Federated States was to have a multi-party system. Another created the governors of each state become the sole representative of their state in Congress. The final major event during the First Convention was the open war with a nation considering itself the USSR, and claiming a massive section of land comprising of all Europe and Russia. The war ended with a Federation victory.<br />
<br />
The Second Convention was held in December, 2014. It witnessed an important bill that ratified a interpreted version of the United States Constitution as the constitution of the Federated States of America, however this in itself has been interpreted as a bill ratifying a provisional constitution until a more stable governing document might be written, which would later happen. During this convention, it was also resolved unanimously in Congress to cede the Federation states of New Mexico and Colorado back to the United States of America, its American counterpart and technically its federal representation. It was during this time that the first public actions of the Federated States of America began.<br />
<br />
The Third Convention of the Federated States of America, occurring from April 28th to May 1st of 2015, has been possibly the most significant gathering of Federation delegates since the very first. It has seen some of the most important bills in the history of the Federated States. An influential action was the appointment of a Secretary of State. However, a large action during this convention was finally becoming public. The nation became involved in the community, recognized nations, got recognized, developed an economy, developed a ten year plan, and most importantly, established the first official constitution of the Federated States of America, the Articles of Federation and Perpetual Union, creating a permanent government led by Progressive ideals. It was at this convention the words, "Sapientia, Moderatione et Iustitia" were first mentioned, becoming the motto and backbone of the movement.<br />
<br />
The Constitutional Convention, from May 2 to May 12 of 2015, was the one that was originally tasked with the creation of the Charter of the Federated States of America, however following the Vice Presidential Trial incident, in which the Vice President was caught attempting to take action in a violent overthrow of the President, who immediately took action. Although the Congress wanted to put the Vice President on trial, the President claimed that it was legal considering he hadn't taken any violent action as of yet. Thus, the President granted the Vice a full pardon, however requested the Vice President resign and become only a Councilman and a Senator, rather than be an Executive. Following this action, as well a as a failed movement at creating a monarchy, the President declared the Constitution Convention adjourned, and promised a new deal for the people to help them get out of the "Federation's Great Depression."<br />
<br />
The Federal Convention's first session occurred on May 17, 2015 and was the first to be held in the official capitol building, Federal Hall. The first session saw the most bills ever passed in one day in the Federated States. The Federal Convention was the first to officially be kept in formal records, with the bills and the signature of the President recorded in the newly-formed Archives, which are in the Office of the President. It also saw the Federated States claim neutrality in the Israel-Palestine Conflict, and officially recognize the People's Republic of China as the sole government of the nation of China, and recognized the Republic of China only as Taiwan.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
=== Republic of Concord (August 3 - September 8 2014) ===<br />
<br />
The Republic of Concord was founded on August 3rd in a home known today as both the Republic of Concord Historical Site as well as the Federal Hall, the Capitol Building of the Federation. The Republic was founded on the idea of a small-government and a right wing state led by the people. It, however, was not secessionist, and in fact far from it, being inspired by the idea of a simulationist micronation.<br />
old <br />
As it was the reigning micronational power in the area at that time, it expanded its territory to engulf the entire Gulf Coast. It was still a quiet, non-recognized micronation, so nobody was able to contest the claim. In turn the Republic of Concord, with an official population of 1 citizen, was able to carry out on a whim whatsoever they desired. One significant action the Republic took, was the creation of a Concordian Factbook. There was also a brief attempt at printing currency, albeit a failure.. By September, the Republic of Concord had fallen into a state of inactivity. A meeting was then called upon with some non-aligned people, who soon after applied for citizenship in the Republic. As expected, these people were soon brought into the government, which it was then agreed should be altered greatly.<br />
<br />
=== The First Convention (September 8 - September 28 2014) === <br />
<br />
Immediately after, it was decided to expand the Republic of Concord, and it was also determined that a new name should be assumed. It was decided that the Federated States of America would fit the task to their liking. Soon after, the Federated States rapidly extended their original land claim to encompass the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, and Illinois. The newly formed Federation Congress was led by a figure then known as the Head of State, and who was also considered to be the Provisional Governor for all states not yet under official representation. By September 10, a new federal government and state governments were officially declared. However, the nation was still publicly unrecognized, an issue delayed by the First Convention. This first convention also unofficially sided with Israel in the Israel-Palestine conflict.<br />
<br />

<br />
For a Charter, The Federated States of America Congress decided to hold off on an official governing document, and instead chose to use an interpreted version of the Constitution of the United States of America, with a Bill of Rights reformed to the original amendments. The First Convention deemed the idea of a Declaration of Independence unnecessary, especially "Considering the upcoming Presidential Elections in the United States of America, official separation seems like an unwise move at this time." It was also considered making communications with the United States, however that was also deemed unnecessary.<br />
<br />
Around September 23rd, an aggressive simulation micronation known as the USSR, claiming to have absolute right to the entire European Continent, as well as the entire nation of Russia. The Federated States of America, in fear of their national security, attempted to extend a formal olive branch to the USSR, however the USSR denied the claim that they had no effective control over the lands that they claimed. The USSR also made threats against the Federated States of America and its people, and on September 23, 2014, the FSA-USSR War began. Using unique tactics, traditional commander-in-chief, The President, called upon the army, which was not yet formed, and prepared for war. The Declaration of War against the USSR by The President of the Federated States of America ordered on September 23rd brought upon a 1-hour long battle known as the Battle of Spring Hill, in which the Federated States Army, led by the Commander-in-chief, marched upon outnumbered USSR soldiers and attacked, barraging the enemy. Within the hour the war was over, and the USSR surrendered to American soldiers.<br />
<br />
By September 29th, the USSR surrendered its entire army to the force of the Federated States of America. Terms of surrender were that the USSR would cease hostile threats, as well as give up its entire claim of land. The latter demand was not accepted by the USSR. The President then stated, "Please, friends, I promise to every single man and women here today that the USSR will fall by the end of this convention. Later that day, the USSR collapsed with no final words, and a weak army. With that action, the First Convention was declared adjourned.<br />
<br />
=== The Second Convention & The Progressive Movement (December 8 - December 18 2014) ===<br />
<br />
Following the Congressional recess, the President of the Federated States of America called the Congress forward to a Second Convention, hoping to advance the success of the Federation even more than in the previous convention. It wasn't until the day following that Congress joined together once again, on the date generally recognized as December 8, 2014. It seemed, by the first day in the Second Convention, that something had changed within the minds of Congress. However, it wouldn't be until December 10 that the times in the Federated States hit an all-time low, which, for a micronation still attempting to establish itself, was not the best possible outcome of the new convention.<br />
<br />
On December 10, while an informal convention of Congress was in session, what is known as the "Climax of the Federation's Progressive Movement" began. What has come to be known as the Wunderlich Revolt began on that cold, dry afternoon. It was a force for change in the Federation government, which is known now as the "Federalist Interpretation of Fascism", in which many bills were passed by an aristocratic congress calling for a new government, and a transition from the former Federated States of America to the State of New Spain, led by an authoritarian president and an aristocratic ministry. Fortunately, the documents outlining the many reforms were lost during the plot to side with Russia in the many conflicts involving Ukraine, and, as a result, by the next week, most details on the idea were lost, however some information is still publicly known. For one, the President would become more authoritarian, the government turned almost completely fascist, and the Congress reformed into an aristocracy of ministers. Although no one spoke out against it, it is generally recognized that the public did not support the reforms.<br />
[[File:4195074.gif|200px|thumb|right|Flag of the Second Convention and State of New Spain]]<br />
After the reform project, the Progressive Movement slowly died, falling into nothing as the nation continued on with its attempts to calm the recent reforms and recover and stabilize to the position in which it was before the Second Convention, generally recognized as a failure. However, although the convention was largely a fiasco, it has long been recognized that it is possible that, at least at the time, more bills, as well as overall more action, occurred in Congress during the Second Convention than any other period since the first founding of the Federation. Therefore, the remainder of the Second Convention was spent retrieving what was lost by the Revolt. The Convention, never officially adjourned, died around December 18. The ending effects of the Second Convention included the fold of the Federalist Party, and the Progressive Party replacing the Federalists.<br />
<br />
=== The Third Convention (April 20 - May 1 2015) ===<br />
<br />
The end of the Progressive era, as well as the Second Convention and the State of New Spain, had occurred over 4 months ago. The longest idle in the history of the Federated States of America had occurred, and people had begun to grow restless for a new convention to move on from the Second Convention of the prior December. After exchanging words, the President and Vice President saw it fit to call Congress once again, and they both agreed the new convention had potential superior to either of the first two. This discussion occurred over the weekend of April 18 and April 19, and on April 20, Congress was finally called to meet for a convention. The Third Convention, it was agreed and executed, to focus primarily on diplomacy. For the first time, the Federated States of America received recognition, as well as offered recognition. It also saw the grand opening of the website, the establishment of future goals, and preparations for the Federation's Charter. The Third Convention almost passed the second convention for bills passed, and saw multiple positive reforms. It witnessed the first citizenship application as well. <br />
<br />
Since the Second Convention as well as the Progressive era, the major political party and the only official one in the government, the Federalist Party, folded, leaving no political parties. During the beginning of the Third Convention, many people, including the President, categorized themselves under the Progressive Party, although it never became officially or federally recognized. At this time, because most bills were regarding foreign affairs, there was not very much going on politically during the Third Convention, and thus, political parties were not really needed. However, towards the end of the Third Convention, two parties began to rise, the former Federalist Party and the President's Know Nothing Party, unaffiliated to the Know Nothing Party of the United States of America during the 1800's.\<br />
<br />
Likely the most important event during the Third Convention were the beginning stages of the Charter of the Federated States of America, the second Constitution of the nation, which accounted for several reforms. Other important reforms and bills passed were budgets, income plans, opening of trade routes, and many more which made this convention crucial to the welfare of the nation.<br />

<br />
The '''Federated States''', formally the '''Federated States of America''', is a self declared independent state that is internationally recognized as an autonomous region of the United States of America. The nation was originally founded as the '''Republic of Concord''' on August 3, 2014, which is now nationally recognized as the nations' Founder's Day, celebrated as a national holiday. The Federated State's Congress exists in incarnations known as "conventions," of which there have been five: the First, Second, Third, Constitution, and Federal. Up until the Constitution Convention, the conventions had been numbered (i.e. Second Convention), however they have since been given exclusive names. The Federated States of America is composed of six states and one federal district. Each state has the right to create its own laws, given that they do not defy the Charter. The Federal District is the nations capital and is restricted more than the states on its rights.<br />
<br />
The First Convention is generally recognized to have occurred between September 8th and September 29th of 2014. The original convention determined the government structure to be one identical to that of the United States of America, however immediately changes began to be made. The First Convention was openly considered to create a Provisional Government of the states. A major bill passed by the Federated States was to have a multi-party system. Another created the governors of each state become the sole representative of their state in Congress. The final major event during the First Convention was the open war with a nation considering itself the USSR, and claiming a massive section of land comprising of all Europe and Russia. The war ended with a Federation victory.<br />
<br />
The Second Convention was held in December, 2014. It witnessed an important bill that ratified a interpreted version of the United States Constitution as the constitution of the Federated States of America, however this in itself has been interpreted as a bill ratifying a provisional constitution until a more stable governing document might be written, which would later happen. During this convention, it was also resolved unanimously in Congress to cede the Federation states of New Mexico and Colorado back to the United States of America, its American counterpart and technically its federal representation. It was during this time that the first public actions of the Federated States of America began.<br />
<br />
The Third Convention of the Federated States of America, occurring from April 28th to May 1st of 2015, has been possibly the most significant gathering of Federation delegates since the very first. It has seen some of the most important bills in the history of the Federated States. An influential action was the appointment of a Secretary of State. However, a large action during this convention was finally becoming public. The nation became involved in the community, recognized nations, got recognized, developed an economy, developed a ten year plan, and most importantly, established the first official constitution of the Federated States of America, the Articles of Federation and Perpetual Union, creating a permanent government led by Progressive ideals. It was at this convention the words, "Sapientia, Moderatione et Iustitia" were first mentioned, becoming the motto and backbone of the movement.<br />
<br />
The Constitutional Convention, from May 2 to May 12 of 2015, was the one that was originally tasked with the creation of the Charter of the Federated States of America, however following the Vice Presidential Trial incident, in which the Vice President was caught attempting to take action in a violent overthrow of the President, who immediately took action. Although the Congress wanted to put the Vice President on trial, the President claimed that it was legal considering he hadn't taken any violent action as of yet. Thus, the President granted the Vice a full pardon, however requested the Vice President resign and become only a Councilman and a Senator, rather than be an Executive. Following this action, as well a as a failed movement at creating a monarchy, the President declared the Constitution Convention adjourned, and promised a new deal for the people to help them get out of the "Federation's Great Depression."<br />
<br />
The Federal Convention's first session occurred on May 17, 2015 and was the first to be held in the official capitol building, Federal Hall. The first session saw the most bills ever passed in one day in the Federated States. The Federal Convention was the first to officially be kept in formal records, with the bills and the signature of the President recorded in the newly-formed Archives, which are in the Office of the President. It also saw the Federated States claim neutrality in the Israel-Palestine Conflict, and officially recognize the People's Republic of China as the sole government of the nation of China, and recognized the Republic of China only as Taiwan.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
=== Republic of Concord (August 3 - September 8 2014) ===<br />
<br />
The Republic of Concord was founded on August 3rd in a home known today as both the Republic of Concord Historical Site as well as the Federal Hall, the Capitol Building of the Federation. The Republic was founded on the idea of a small-government and a right wing state led by the people. It, however, was not secessionist, and in fact far from it, being inspired by the idea of a simulationist micronation.<br />
old <br />
As it was the reigning micronational power in the area at that time, it expanded its territory to engulf the entire Gulf Coast. It was still a quiet, non-recognized micronation, so nobody was able to contest the claim. In turn the Republic of Concord, with an official population of 1 citizen, was able to carry out on a whim whatsoever they desired. One significant action the Republic took, was the creation of a Concordian Factbook. There was also a brief attempt at printing currency, albeit a failure.. By September, the Republic of Concord had fallen into a state of inactivity. A meeting was then called upon with some non-aligned people, who soon after applied for citizenship in the Republic. As expected, these people were soon brought into the government, which it was then agreed should be altered greatly.<br />
<br />
=== The First Convention (September 8 - September 28 2014) === <br />
<br />
Immediately after, it was decided to expand the Republic of Concord, and it was also determined that a new name should be assumed. It was decided that the Federated States of America would fit the task to their liking. Soon after, the Federated States rapidly extended their original land claim to encompass the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, and Illinois. The newly formed Federation Congress was led by a figure then known as the Head of State, and who was also considered to be the Provisional Governor for all states not yet under official representation. By September 10, a new federal government and state governments were officially declared. However, the nation was still publicly unrecognized, an issue delayed by the First Convention. This first convention also unofficially sided with Israel in the Israel-Palestine conflict.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nunst020.gif|200px|thumb|right|Seal of the Flag of the First Convention]]<br />
<br />
For a Charter, The Federated States of America Congress decided to hold off on an official governing document, and instead chose to use an interpreted version of the Constitution of the United States of America, with a Bill of Rights reformed to the original amendments. The First Convention deemed the idea of a Declaration of Independence unnecessary, especially "Considering the upcoming Presidential Elections in the United States of America, official separation seems like an unwise move at this time." It was also considered making communications with the United States, however that was also deemed unnecessary.<br />
<br />
Around September 23rd, an aggressive simulation micronation known as the USSR, claiming to have absolute right to the entire European Continent, as well as the entire nation of Russia. The Federated States of America, in fear of their national security, attempted to extend a formal olive branch to the USSR, however the USSR denied the claim that they had no effective control over the lands that they claimed. The USSR also made threats against the Federated States of America and its people, and on September 23, 2014, the FSA-USSR War began. Using unique tactics, traditional commander-in-chief, The President, called upon the army, which was not yet formed, and prepared for war. The Declaration of War against the USSR by The President of the Federated States of America ordered on September 23rd brought upon a 1-hour long battle known as the Battle of Spring Hill, in which the Federated States Army, led by the Commander-in-chief, marched upon outnumbered USSR soldiers and attacked, barraging the enemy. Within the hour the war was over, and the USSR surrendered to American soldiers.<br />
<br />
By September 29th, the USSR surrendered its entire army to the force of the Federated States of America. Terms of surrender were that the USSR would cease hostile threats, as well as give up its entire claim of land. The latter demand was not accepted by the USSR. The President then stated, "Please, friends, I promise to every single man and women here today that the USSR will fall by the end of this convention. Later that day, the USSR collapsed with no final words, and a weak army. With that action, the First Convention was declared adjourned.<br />
<br />
=== The Second Convention & The Progressive Movement (December 8 - December 18 2014) ===<br />
<br />
Following the Congressional recess, the President of the Federated States of America called the Congress forward to a Second Convention, hoping to advance the success of the Federation even more than in the previous convention. It wasn't until the day following that Congress joined together once again, on the date generally recognized as December 8, 2014. It seemed, by the first day in the Second Convention, that something had changed within the minds of Congress. However, it wouldn't be until December 10 that the times in the Federated States hit an all-time low, which, for a micronation still attempting to establish itself, was not the best possible outcome of the new convention.<br />
<br />
On December 10, while an informal convention of Congress was in session, what is known as the "Climax of the Federation's Progressive Movement" began. What has come to be known as the Wunderlich Revolt began on that cold, dry afternoon. It was a force for change in the Federation government, which is known now as the "Federalist Interpretation of Fascism", in which many bills were passed by an aristocratic congress calling for a new government, and a transition from the former Federated States of America to the State of New Spain, led by an authoritarian president and an aristocratic ministry. Fortunately, the documents outlining the many reforms were lost during the plot to side with Russia in the many conflicts involving Ukraine, and, as a result, by the next week, most details on the idea were lost, however some information is still publicly known. For one, the President would become more authoritarian, the government turned almost completely fascist, and the Congress reformed into an aristocracy of ministers. Although no one spoke out against it, it is generally recognized that the public did not support the reforms.<br />
[[File:4195074.gif|200px|thumb|right|Flag of the Second Convention and State of New Spain]]<br />
After the reform project, the Progressive Movement slowly died, falling into nothing as the nation continued on with its attempts to calm the recent reforms and recover and stabilize to the position in which it was before the Second Convention, generally recognized as a failure. However, although the convention was largely a fiasco, it has long been recognized that it is possible that, at least at the time, more bills, as well as overall more action, occurred in Congress during the Second Convention than any other period since the first founding of the Federation. Therefore, the remainder of the Second Convention was spent retrieving what was lost by the Revolt. The Convention, never officially adjourned, died around December 18. The ending effects of the Second Convention included the fold of the Federalist Party, and the Progressive Party replacing the Federalists.<br />
<br />
=== The Third Convention (April 20 - May 1 2015) ===<br />
<br />
The end of the Progressive era, as well as the Second Convention and the State of New Spain, had occurred over 4 months ago. The longest idle in the history of the Federated States of America had occurred, and people had begun to grow restless for a new convention to move on from the Second Convention of the prior December. After exchanging words, the President and Vice President saw it fit to call Congress once again, and they both agreed the new convention had potential superior to either of the first two. This discussion occurred over the weekend of April 18 and April 19, and on April 20, Congress was finally called to meet for a convention. The Third Convention, it was agreed and executed, to focus primarily on diplomacy. For the first time, the Federated States of America received recognition, as well as offered recognition. It also saw the grand opening of the website, the establishment of future goals, and preparations for the Federation's Charter. The Third Convention almost passed the second convention for bills passed, and saw multiple positive reforms. It witnessed the first citizenship application as well. <br />
<br />
Since the Second Convention as well as the Progressive era, the major political party and the only official one in the government, the Federalist Party, folded, leaving no political parties. During the beginning of the Third Convention, many people, including the President, categorized themselves under the Progressive Party, although it never became officially or federally recognized. At this time, because most bills were regarding foreign affairs, there was not very much going on politically during the Third Convention, and thus, political parties were not really needed. However, towards the end of the Third Convention, two parties began to rise, the former Federalist Party and the President's Know Nothing Party, unaffiliated to the Know Nothing Party of the United States of America during the 1800's.\<br />
<br />
Likely the most important event during the Third Convention were the beginning stages of the Charter of the Federated States of America, the second Constitution of the nation, which accounted for several reforms. Other important reforms and bills passed were budgets, income plans, opening of trade routes, and many more which made this convention crucial to the welfare of the nation.<br />

The '''Federated States''', formally the '''Federated States of America''', is a self declared independent state that is internationally recognized as an autonomous region of the United States of America. The nation was originally founded as the '''Republic of Concord''' on August 3, 2014, which is now nationally recognized as the nations' Founder's Day, celebrated as a national holiday. The Federated State's Congress exists in incarnations known as "conventions," of which there have been five: the First, Second, Third, Constitution, and Federal. Up until the Constitution Convention, the conventions had been numbered (i.e. Second Convention), however they have since been given exclusive names. The Federated States of America is composed of six states and one federal district. Each state has the right to create its own laws, given that they do not defy the Charter. The Federal District is the nations capital and is restricted more than the states on its rights.<br />
<br />
The First Convention is generally recognized to have occurred between September 8th and September 29th of 2014. The original convention determined the government structure to be one identical to that of the United States of America, however immediately changes began to be made. The First Convention was openly considered to create a Provisional Government of the states. A major bill passed by the Federated States was to have a multi-party system. Another created the governors of each state become the sole representative of their state in Congress. The final major event during the First Convention was the open war with a nation considering itself the USSR, and claiming a massive section of land comprising of all Europe and Russia. The war ended with a Federation victory.<br />
<br />
The Second Convention was held in December, 2014. It witnessed an important bill that ratified a interpreted version of the United States Constitution as the constitution of the Federated States of America, however this in itself has been interpreted as a bill ratifying a provisional constitution until a more stable governing document might be written, which would later happen. During this convention, it was also resolved unanimously in Congress to cede the Federation states of New Mexico and Colorado back to the United States of America, its American counterpart and technically its federal representation. It was during this time that the first public actions of the Federated States of America began.<br />
<br />
The Third Convention of the Federated States of America, occurring from April 28th to May 1st of 2015, has been possibly the most significant gathering of Federation delegates since the very first. It has seen some of the most important bills in the history of the Federated States. An influential action was the appointment of a Secretary of State. However, a large action during this convention was finally becoming public. The nation became involved in the community, recognized nations, got recognized, developed an economy, developed a ten year plan, and most importantly, established the first official constitution of the Federated States of America, the Articles of Federation and Perpetual Union, creating a permanent government led by Progressive ideals. It was at this convention the words, "Sapientia, Moderatione et Iustitia" were first mentioned, becoming the motto and backbone of the movement.<br />
<br />
The Constitutional Convention, from May 2 to May 12 of 2015, was the one that was originally tasked with the creation of the Charter of the Federated States of America, however following the Vice Presidential Trial incident, in which the Vice President was caught attempting to take action in a violent overthrow of the President, who immediately took action. Although the Congress wanted to put the Vice President on trial, the President claimed that it was legal considering he hadn't taken any violent action as of yet. Thus, the President granted the Vice a full pardon, however requested the Vice President resign and become only a Councilman and a Senator, rather than be an Executive. Following this action, as well a as a failed movement at creating a monarchy, the President declared the Constitution Convention adjourned, and promised a new deal for the people to help them get out of the "Federation's Great Depression."<br />
<br />
The Federal Convention's first session occurred on May 17, 2015 and was the first to be held in the official capitol building, Federal Hall. The first session saw the most bills ever passed in one day in the Federated States. The Federal Convention was the first to officially be kept in formal records, with the bills and the signature of the President recorded in the newly-formed Archives, which are in the Office of the President. It also saw the Federated States claim neutrality in the Israel-Palestine Conflict, and officially recognize the People's Republic of China as the sole government of the nation of China, and recognized the Republic of China only as Taiwan.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
=== Republic of Concord (August 3 - September 8 2014) ===<br />
<br />
The Republic of Concord was founded on August 3rd in a home known today as both the Republic of Concord Historical Site as well as the Federal Hall, the Capitol Building of the Federation. The Republic was founded on the idea of a small-government and a right wing state led by the people. It, however, was not secessionist, and in fact far from it, being inspired by the idea of a simulationist micronation.<br />
old <br />
As it was the reigning micronational power in the area at that time, it expanded its territory to engulf the entire Gulf Coast. It was still a quiet, non-recognized micronation, so nobody was able to contest the claim. In turn the Republic of Concord, with an official population of 1 citizen, was able to carry out on a whim whatsoever they desired. One significant action the Republic took, was the creation of a Concordian Factbook. There was also a brief attempt at printing currency, albeit a failure.. By September, the Republic of Concord had fallen into a state of inactivity. A meeting was then called upon with some non-aligned people, who soon after applied for citizenship in the Republic. As expected, these people were soon brought into the government, which it was then agreed should be altered greatly.<br />
<br />
=== The First Convention (September 8 - September 28 2014) === <br />
<br />
Immediately after, it was decided to expand the Republic of Concord, and it was also determined that a new name should be assumed. It was decided that the Federated States of America would fit the task to their liking. Soon after, the Federated States rapidly extended their original land claim to encompass the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, and Illinois. The newly formed Federation Congress was led by a figure then known as the Head of State, and who was also considered to be the Provisional Governor for all states not yet under official representation. By September 10, a new federal government and state governments were officially declared. However, the nation was still publicly unrecognized, an issue delayed by the First Convention. This first convention also unofficially sided with Israel in the Israel-Palestine conflict.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nunst020.gif|200px|thumb|right|Seal of the Flag of the First Convention]]<br />
<br />
For a Charter, The Federated States of America Congress decided to hold off on an official governing document, and instead chose to use an interpreted version of the Constitution of the United States of America, with a Bill of Rights reformed to the original amendments. The First Convention deemed the idea of a Declaration of Independence unnecessary, especially "Considering the upcoming Presidential Elections in the United States of America, official separation seems like an unwise move at this time." It was also considered making communications with the United States, however that was also deemed unnecessary.<br />
<br />
Around September 23rd, an aggressive simulation micronation known as the USSR, claiming to have absolute right to the entire European Continent, as well as the entire nation of Russia. The Federated States of America, in fear of their national security, attempted to extend a formal olive branch to the USSR, however the USSR denied the claim that they had no effective control over the lands that they claimed. The USSR also made threats against the Federated States of America and its people, and on September 23, 2014, the FSA-USSR War began. Using unique tactics, traditional commander-in-chief, The President, called upon the army, which was not yet formed, and prepared for war. The Declaration of War against the USSR by The President of the Federated States of America ordered on September 23rd brought upon a 1-hour long battle known as the Battle of Spring Hill, in which the Federated States Army, led by the Commander-in-chief, marched upon outnumbered USSR soldiers and attacked, barraging the enemy. Within the hour the war was over, and the USSR surrendered to American soldiers.<br />
<br />
By September 29th, the USSR surrendered its entire army to the force of the Federated States of America. Terms of surrender were that the USSR would cease hostile threats, as well as give up its entire claim of land. The latter demand was not accepted by the USSR. The President then stated, "Please, friends, I promise to every single man and women here today that the USSR will fall by the end of this convention. Later that day, the USSR collapsed with no final words, and a weak army. With that action, the First Convention was declared adjourned.<br />
<br />
=== The Second Convention & The Progressive Movement (December 8 - December 18 2014) ===<br />
<br />
Following the Congressional recess, the President of the Federated States of America called the Congress forward to a Second Convention, hoping to advance the success of the Federation even more than in the previous convention. It wasn't until the day following that Congress joined together once again, on the date generally recognized as December 8, 2014. It seemed, by the first day in the Second Convention, that something had changed within the minds of Congress. However, it wouldn't be until December 10 that the times in the Federated States hit an all-time low, which, for a micronation still attempting to establish itself, was not the best possible outcome of the new convention.<br />
<br />
On December 10, while an informal convention of Congress was in session, what is known as the "Climax of the Federation's Progressive Movement" began. What has come to be known as the Wunderlich Revolt began on that cold, dry afternoon. It was a force for change in the Federation government, which is known now as the "Federalist Interpretation of Fascism", in which many bills were passed by an aristocratic congress calling for a new government, and a transition from the former Federated States of America to the State of New Spain, led by an authoritarian president and an aristocratic ministry. Fortunately, the documents outlining the many reforms were lost during the plot to side with Russia in the many conflicts involving Ukraine, and, as a result, by the next week, most details on the idea were lost, however some information is still publicly known. For one, the President would become more authoritarian, the government turned almost completely fascist, and the Congress reformed into an aristocracy of ministers. Although no one spoke out against it, it is generally recognized that the public did not support the reforms.<br />
[[File:4195074.gif|200px|thumb|right|Flag of the Second Convention and State of New Spain]]<br />
After the reform project, the Progressive Movement slowly died, falling into nothing as the nation continued on with its attempts to calm the recent reforms and recover and stabilize to the position in which it was before the Second Convention, generally recognized as a failure. However, although the convention was largely a fiasco, it has long been recognized that it is possible that, at least at the time, more bills, as well as overall more action, occurred in Congress during the Second Convention than any other period since the first founding of the Federation. Therefore, the remainder of the Second Convention was spent retrieving what was lost by the Revolt. The Convention, never officially adjourned, died around December 18. The ending effects of the Second Convention included the fold of the Federalist Party, and the Progressive Party replacing the Federalists.<br />
<br />
=== The Third Convention (April 20 - May 1 2015) ===<br />
<br />
The end of the Progressive era, as well as the Second Convention and the State of New Spain, had occurred over 4 months ago. The longest idle in the history of the Federated States of America had occurred, and people had begun to grow restless for a new convention to move on from the Second Convention of the prior December. After exchanging words, the President and Vice President saw it fit to call Congress once again, and they both agreed the new convention had potential superior to either of the first two. This discussion occurred over the weekend of April 18 and April 19, and on April 20, Congress was finally called to meet for a convention. The Third Convention, it was agreed and executed, to focus primarily on diplomacy. For the first time, the Federated States of America received recognition, as well as offered recognition. It also saw the grand opening of the website, the establishment of future goals, and preparations for the Federation's Charter. The Third Convention almost passed the second convention for bills passed, and saw multiple positive reforms. It witnessed the first citizenship application as well. <br />
<br />
Since the Second Convention as well as the Progressive era, the major political party and the only official one in the government, the Federalist Party, folded, leaving no political parties. During the beginning of the Third Convention, many people, including the President, categorized themselves under the Progressive Party, although it never became officially or federally recognized. At this time, because most bills were regarding foreign affairs, there was not very much going on politically during the Third Convention, and thus, political parties were not really needed. However, towards the end of the Third Convention, two parties began to rise, the former Federalist Party and the President's Know Nothing Party, unaffiliated to the Know Nothing Party of the United States of America during the 1800's.\<br />
<br />
Likely the most important event during the Third Convention were the beginning stages of the Charter of the Federated States of America, the second Constitution of the nation, which accounted for several reforms. Other important reforms and bills passed were budgets, income plans, opening of trade routes, and many more which made this convention crucial to the welfare of the nation.<br />

This discussion occurred over the weekend of April 18 and April 19, and on April 20, Congress was finally called to meet for a convention. The Third Convention, it was agreed and executed, to focus primarily on diplomacy. For the first time, the Federated States of America received recognition, as well as offered recognition. It also saw the grand opening of the website, the establishment of future goals, and preparations for the Federation's Charter. The Third Convention almost passed the second convention for bills passed, and saw multiple positive reforms. It witnessed the first citizenship application as well. <br />
<br />
Since the Second Convention as well as the Progressive era, the major political party and the only official one in the government, the Federalist Party, folded, leaving no political parties. During the beginning of the Third Convention, many people, including the President, categorized themselves under the Progressive Party, although it never became officially or federally recognized. At this time, because most bills were regarding foreign affairs, there was not very much going on politically during the Third Convention, and thus, political parties were not really needed. However, towards the end of the Third Convention, two parties began to rise, the former Federalist Party and the President's Know Nothing Party, unaffiliated to the Know Nothing Party of the United States of America during the 1800's.\<br />
<br />
Likely the most important event during the Third Convention were the beginning stages of the Charter of the Federated States of America, the second Constitution of the nation, which accounted for several reforms. Other important reforms and bills passed were budgets, income plans, opening of trade routes, and many more which made this convention crucial to the welfare of the nation.<br />

The '''Federated States''', formally the '''Federated States of America''', is a self declared independent state that is internationally recognized as an autonomous region of the United States of America. The nation was originally founded as the '''Republic of Concord''' on August 3, 2014, which is now nationally recognized as the nations' Founder's Day, celebrated as a national holiday. The Federated State's Congress exists in incarnations known as "conventions," of which there have been five: the First, Second, Third, Constitution, and Federal. Up until the Constitution Convention, the conventions had been numbered (i.e. Second Convention), however they have since been given exclusive names. The Federated States of America is composed of six states and one federal district. Each state has the right to create its own laws, given that they do not defy the Charter. The Federal District is the nations capital and is restricted more than the states on its rights.<br />
<br />
The First Convention is generally recognized to have occurred between September 8th and September 29th of 2014. The original convention determined the government structure to be one identical to that of the United States of America, however immediately changes began to be made. The First Convention was openly considered to create a Provisional Government of the states. A major bill passed by the Federated States was to have a multi-party system. Another created the governors of each state become the sole representative of their state in Congress. The final major event during the First Convention was the open war with a nation considering itself the USSR, and claiming a massive section of land comprising of all Europe and Russia. The war ended with a Federation victory.<br />
<br />
The Second Convention was held in December, 2014. It witnessed an important bill that ratified a interpreted version of the United States Constitution as the constitution of the Federated States of America, however this in itself has been interpreted as a bill ratifying a provisional constitution until a more stable governing document might be written, which would later happen. During this convention, it was also resolved unanimously in Congress to cede the Federation states of New Mexico and Colorado back to the United States of America, its American counterpart and technically its federal representation. It was during this time that the first public actions of the Federated States of America began.<br />
<br />
The Third Convention of the Federated States of America, occurring from April 28th to May 1st of 2015, has been possibly the most significant gathering of Federation delegates since the very first. It has seen some of the most important bills in the history of the Federated States. An influential action was the appointment of a Secretary of State. However, a large action during this convention was finally becoming public. The nation became involved in the community, recognized nations, got recognized, developed an economy, developed a ten year plan, and most importantly, established the first official constitution of the Federated States of America, the Articles of Federation and Perpetual Union, creating a permanent government led by Progressive ideals. It was at this convention the words, "Sapientia, Moderatione et Iustitia" were first mentioned, becoming the motto and backbone of the movement.<br />
<br />
The Constitutional Convention, from May 2 to May 12 of 2015, was the one that was originally tasked with the creation of the Charter of the Federated States of America, however following the Vice Presidential Trial incident, in which the Vice President was caught attempting to take action in a violent overthrow of the President, who immediately took action. Although the Congress wanted to put the Vice President on trial, the President claimed that it was legal considering he hadn't taken any violent action as of yet. Thus, the President granted the Vice a full pardon, however requested the Vice President resign and become only a Councilman and a Senator, rather than be an Executive. Following this action, as well a as a failed movement at creating a monarchy, the President declared the Constitution Convention adjourned, and promised a new deal for the people to help them get out of the "Federation's Great Depression."<br />
<br />
The Federal Convention's first session occurred on May 17, 2015 and was the first to be held in the official capitol building, Federal Hall. The first session saw the most bills ever passed in one day in the Federated States. The Federal Convention was the first to officially be kept in formal records, with the bills and the signature of the President recorded in the newly-formed Archives, which are in the Office of the President. It also saw the Federated States claim neutrality in the Israel-Palestine Conflict, and officially recognize the People's Republic of China as the sole government of the nation of China, and recognized the Republic of China only as Taiwan.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
=== Republic of Concord (August 3 - September 8 2014) ===<br />
<br />
The Republic of Concord was founded on August 3rd in a home known today as both the Republic of Concord Historical Site as well as the Federal Hall, the Capitol Building of the Federation. The Republic was founded on the idea of a small-government and a right wing state led by the people. It, however, was not secessionist, and in fact far from it, being inspired by the idea of a simulationist micronation.<br />
old <br />
As it was the reigning micronational power in the area at that time, it expanded its territory to engulf the entire Gulf Coast. It was still a quiet, non-recognized micronation, so nobody was able to contest the claim. In turn the Republic of Concord, with an official population of 1 citizen, was able to carry out on a whim whatsoever they desired. One significant action the Republic took, was the creation of a Concordian Factbook. There was also a brief attempt at printing currency, albeit a failure.. By September, the Republic of Concord had fallen into a state of inactivity. A meeting was then called upon with some non-aligned people, who soon after applied for citizenship in the Republic. As expected, these people were soon brought into the government, which it was then agreed should be altered greatly.<br />
<br />
=== The First Convention (September 8 - September 28 2014) === <br />
<br />
Immediately after, it was decided to expand the Republic of Concord, and it was also determined that a new name should be assumed. It was decided that the Federated States of America would fit the task to their liking. Soon after, the Federated States rapidly extended their original land claim to encompass the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, and Illinois. The newly formed Federation Congress was led by a figure then known as the Head of State, and who was also considered to be the Provisional Governor for all states not yet under official representation. By September 10, a new federal government and state governments were officially declared. However, the nation was still publicly unrecognized, an issue delayed by the First Convention. This first convention also unofficially sided with Israel in the Israel-Palestine conflict.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nunst020.gif|200px|thumb|right|Seal of the Flag of the First Convention]]<br />
<br />
For a Charter, The Federated States of America Congress decided to hold off on an official governing document, and instead chose to use an interpreted version of the Constitution of the United States of America, with a Bill of Rights reformed to the original amendments. The First Convention deemed the idea of a Declaration of Independence unnecessary, especially "Considering the upcoming Presidential Elections in the United States of America, official separation seems like an unwise move at this time." It was also considered making communications with the United States, however that was also deemed unnecessary.<br />
<br />
Around September 23rd, an aggressive simulation micronation known as the USSR, claiming to have absolute right to the entire European Continent, as well as the entire nation of Russia. The Federated States of America, in fear of their national security, attempted to extend a formal olive branch to the USSR, however the USSR denied the claim that they had no effective control over the lands that they claimed. The USSR also made threats against the Federated States of America and its people, and on September 23, 2014, the FSA-USSR War began. Using unique tactics, traditional commander-in-chief, The President, called upon the army, which was not yet formed, and prepared for war. The Declaration of War against the USSR by The President of the Federated States of America ordered on September 23rd brought upon a 1-hour long battle known as the Battle of Spring Hill, in which the Federated States Army, led by the Commander-in-chief, marched upon outnumbered USSR soldiers and attacked, barraging the enemy. Within the hour the war was over, and the USSR surrendered to American soldiers.<br />
<br />
By September 29th, the USSR surrendered its entire army to the force of the Federated States of America. Terms of surrender were that the USSR would cease hostile threats, as well as give up its entire claim of land. The latter demand was not accepted by the USSR. The President then stated, "Please, friends, I promise to every single man and women here today that the USSR will fall by the end of this convention. Later that day, the USSR collapsed with no final words, and a weak army. With that action, the First Convention was declared adjourned.<br />
<br />
=== The Second Convention & The Progressive Movement (December 8 - December 18 2014) ===<br />
<br />
Following the Congressional recess, the President of the Federated States of America called the Congress forward to a Second Convention, hoping to advance the success of the Federation even more than in the previous convention. It wasn't until the day following that Congress joined together once again, on the date generally recognized as December 8, 2014. It seemed, by the first day in the Second Convention, that something had changed within the minds of Congress. However, it wouldn't be until December 10 that the times in the Federated States hit an all-time low, which, for a micronation still attempting to establish itself, was not the best possible outcome of the new convention.<br />
<br />
On December 10, while an informal convention of Congress was in session, what is known as the "Climax of the Federation's Progressive Movement" began. What has come to be known as the Wunderlich Revolt began on that cold, dry afternoon. It was a force for change in the Federation government, which is known now as the "Federalist Interpretation of Fascism", in which many bills were passed by an aristocratic congress calling for a new government, and a transition from the former Federated States of America to the State of New Spain, led by an authoritarian president and an aristocratic ministry. Fortunately, the documents outlining the many reforms were lost during the plot to side with Russia in the many conflicts involving Ukraine, and, as a result, by the next week, most details on the idea were lost, however some information is still publicly known. For one, the President would become more authoritarian, the government turned almost completely fascist, and the Congress reformed into an aristocracy of ministers. Although no one spoke out against it, it is generally recognized that the public did not support the reforms.<br />
[[File:4195074.gif|200px|thumb|right|Flag of the Second Convention and State of New Spain]]<br />
After the reform project, the Progressive Movement slowly died, falling into nothing as the nation continued on with its attempts to calm the recent reforms and recover and stabilize to the position in which it was before the Second Convention, generally recognized as a failure. However, although the convention was largely a fiasco, it has long been recognized that it is possible that, at least at the time, more bills, as well as overall more action, occurred in Congress during the Second Convention than any other period since the first founding of the Federation. Therefore, the remainder of the Second Convention was spent retrieving what was lost by the Revolt. The Convention, never officially adjourned, died around December 18. The ending effects of the Second Convention included the fold of the Federalist Party, and the Progressive Party replacing the Federalists.<br />
<br />
=== The Third Convention (April 20 - May 1 2015) ===<br />
<br />
The end of the Progressive era, as well as the Second Convention and the State of New Spain, had occurred over 4 months ago. The longest idle in the history of the Federated States of America had occurred, and people had begun to grow restless for a new convention to move on from the Second Convention of the prior December. After exchanging words, the President and Vice President saw it fit to call Congress once again, and they both agreed the new convention had potential superior to either of the first two. This discussion occurred over the weekend of April 18 and April 19, and on April 20, Congress was finally called to meet for a convention. The Third Convention, it was agreed and executed, to focus primarily on diplomacy. For the first time, the Federated States of America received recognition, as well as offered recognition. It also saw the grand opening of the website, the establishment of future goals, and preparations for the Federation's Charter. The Third Convention almost passed the second convention for bills passed, and saw multiple positive reforms. It witnessed the first citizenship application as well. <br />
<br />
Since the Second Convention as well as the Progressive era, the major political party and the only official one in the government, the Federalist Party, folded, leaving no political parties. During the beginning of the Third Convention, many people, including the President, categorized themselves under the Progressive Party, although it never became officially or federally recognized. At this time, because most bills were regarding foreign affairs, there was not very much going on politically during the Third Convention, and thus, political parties were not really needed. However, towards the end of the Third Convention, two parties began to rise, the former Federalist Party and the President's Know Nothing Party, unaffiliated to the Know Nothing Party of the United States of America during the 1800's.\<br />
<br />
Likely the most important event during the Third Convention were the beginning stages of the Charter of the Federated States of America, the second Constitution of the nation, which accounted for several reforms. Other important reforms and bills passed were budgets, income plans, opening of trade routes, and many more which made this convention crucial to the welfare of the nation.<br />

The '''Federated States''', formally the '''Federated States of America''', is a self declared independent state that is internationally recognized as an autonomous region of the United States of America. The nation was originally founded as the '''Republic of Concord''' on August 3, 2014, which is now nationally recognized as the nations' Founder's Day, celebrated as a national holiday. The Federated State's Congress exists in incarnations known as "conventions," of which there have been five: the First, Second, Third, Constitution, and Federal. Up until the Constitution Convention, the conventions had been numbered (i.e. Second Convention), however they have since been given exclusive names. The Federated States of America is composed of six states and one federal district. Each state has the right to create its own laws, given that they do not defy the Charter. The Federal District is the nations capital and is restricted more than the states on its rights.<br />
<br />
The First Convention is generally recognized to have occurred between September 8th and September 29th of 2014. The original convention determined the government structure to be one identical to that of the United States of America, however immediately changes began to be made. The First Convention was openly considered to create a Provisional Government of the states. A major bill passed by the Federated States was to have a multi-party system. Another created the governors of each state become the sole representative of their state in Congress. The final major event during the First Convention was the open war with a nation considering itself the USSR, and claiming a massive section of land comprising of all Europe and Russia. The war ended with a Federation victory.<br />
<br />
The Second Convention was held in December, 2014. It witnessed an important bill that ratified a interpreted version of the United States Constitution as the constitution of the Federated States of America, however this in itself has been interpreted as a bill ratifying a provisional constitution until a more stable governing document might be written, which would later happen. During this convention, it was also resolved unanimously in Congress to cede the Federation states of New Mexico and Colorado back to the United States of America, its American counterpart and technically its federal representation. It was during this time that the first public actions of the Federated States of America began.<br />
<br />
The Third Convention of the Federated States of America, occurring from April 28th to May 1st of 2015, has been possibly the most significant gathering of Federation delegates since the very first. It has seen some of the most important bills in the history of the Federated States. An influential action was the appointment of a Secretary of State. However, a large action during this convention was finally becoming public. The nation became involved in the community, recognized nations, got recognized, developed an economy, developed a ten year plan, and most importantly, established the first official constitution of the Federated States of America, the Articles of Federation and Perpetual Union, creating a permanent government led by Progressive ideals. It was at this convention the words, "Sapientia, Moderatione et Iustitia" were first mentioned, becoming the motto and backbone of the movement.<br />
<br />
The Constitutional Convention, from May 2 to May 12 of 2015, was the one that was originally tasked with the creation of the Charter of the Federated States of America, however following the Vice Presidential Trial incident, in which the Vice President was caught attempting to take action in a violent overthrow of the President, who immediately took action. Although the Congress wanted to put the Vice President on trial, the President claimed that it was legal considering he hadn't taken any violent action as of yet. Thus, the President granted the Vice a full pardon, however requested the Vice President resign and become only a Councilman and a Senator, rather than be an Executive. Following this action, as well a as a failed movement at creating a monarchy, the President declared the Constitution Convention adjourned, and promised a new deal for the people to help them get out of the "Federation's Great Depression."<br />
<br />
The Federal Convention's first session occurred on May 17, 2015 and was the first to be held in the official capitol building, Federal Hall. The first session saw the most bills ever passed in one day in the Federated States. The Federal Convention was the first to officially be kept in formal records, with the bills and the signature of the President recorded in the newly-formed Archives, which are in the Office of the President. It also saw the Federated States claim neutrality in the Israel-Palestine Conflict, and officially recognize the People's Republic of China as the sole government of the nation of China, and recognized the Republic of China only as Taiwan.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
=== Republic of Concord (August 3 - September 8 2014) ===<br />
<br />
The Republic of Concord was founded on August 3rd in a home known today as both the Republic of Concord Historical Site as well as the Federal Hall, the Capitol Building of the Federation. The Republic was founded on the idea of a small-government and a right wing state led by the people. It, however, was not secessionist, and in fact far from it, being inspired by the idea of a simulationist micronation.<br />
old <br />
As it was the reigning micronational power in the area at that time, it expanded its territory to engulf the entire Gulf Coast. It was still a quiet, non-recognized micronation, so nobody was able to contest the claim. In turn the Republic of Concord, with an official population of 1 citizen, was able to carry out on a whim whatsoever they desired. One significant action the Republic took, was the creation of a Concordian Factbook. There was also a brief attempt at printing currency, albeit a failure.. By September, the Republic of Concord had fallen into a state of inactivity. A meeting was then called upon with some non-aligned people, who soon after applied for citizenship in the Republic. As expected, these people were soon brought into the government, which it was then agreed should be altered greatly.<br />
<br />
=== The First Convention (September 8 - September 28 2014) === <br />
<br />
Immediately after, it was decided to expand the Republic of Concord, and it was also determined that a new name should be assumed. It was decided that the Federated States of America would fit the task to their liking. Soon after, the Federated States rapidly extended their original land claim to encompass the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, and Illinois. The newly formed Federation Congress was led by a figure then known as the Head of State, and who was also considered to be the Provisional Governor for all states not yet under official representation. By September 10, a new federal government and state governments were officially declared. However, the nation was still publicly unrecognized, an issue delayed by the First Convention. This first convention also unofficially sided with Israel in the Israel-Palestine conflict.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nunst020.gif|200px|thumb|right|Seal of the Flag of the First Convention]]<br />
<br />
For a Charter, The Federated States of America Congress decided to hold off on an official governing document, and instead chose to use an interpreted version of the Constitution of the United States of America, with a Bill of Rights reformed to the original amendments. The First Convention deemed the idea of a Declaration of Independence unnecessary, especially "Considering the upcoming Presidential Elections in the United States of America, official separation seems like an unwise move at this time." It was also considered making communications with the United States, however that was also deemed unnecessary.<br />
<br />
Around September 23rd, an aggressive simulation micronation known as the USSR, claiming to have absolute right to the entire European Continent, as well as the entire nation of Russia. The Federated States of America, in fear of their national security, attempted to extend a formal olive branch to the USSR, however the USSR denied the claim that they had no effective control over the lands that they claimed. The USSR also made threats against the Federated States of America and its people, and on September 23, 2014, the FSA-USSR War began. Using unique tactics, traditional commander-in-chief, The President, called upon the army, which was not yet formed, and prepared for war. The Declaration of War against the USSR by The President of the Federated States of America ordered on September 23rd brought upon a 1-hour long battle known as the Battle of Spring Hill, in which the Federated States Army, led by the Commander-in-chief, marched upon outnumbered USSR soldiers and attacked, barraging the enemy. Within the hour the war was over, and the USSR surrendered to American soldiers.<br />
<br />
By September 29th, the USSR surrendered its entire army to the force of the Federated States of America. Terms of surrender were that the USSR would cease hostile threats, as well as give up its entire claim of land. The latter demand was not accepted by the USSR. The President then stated, "Please, friends, I promise to every single man and women here today that the USSR will fall by the end of this convention. Later that day, the USSR collapsed with no final words, and a weak army. With that action, the First Convention was declared adjourned.<br />
<br />
=== The Second Convention & The Progressive Movement (December 8 - December 18 2014) ===<br />
<br />
Following the Congressional recess, the President of the Federated States of America called the Congress forward to a Second Convention, hoping to advance the success of the Federation even more than in the previous convention. It wasn't until the day following that Congress joined together once again, on the date generally recognized as December 8, 2014. It seemed, by the first day in the Second Convention, that something had changed within the minds of Congress. However, it wouldn't be until December 10 that the times in the Federated States hit an all-time low, which, for a micronation still attempting to establish itself, was not the best possible outcome of the new convention.<br />
<br />
On December 10, while an informal convention of Congress was in session, what is known as the "Climax of the Federation's Progressive Movement" began. What has come to be known as the Wunderlich Revolt began on that cold, dry afternoon. It was a force for change in the Federation government, which is known now as the "Federalist Interpretation of Fascism", in which many bills were passed by an aristocratic congress calling for a new government, and a transition from the former Federated States of America to the State of New Spain, led by an authoritarian president and an aristocratic ministry. Fortunately, the documents outlining the many reforms were lost during the plot to side with Russia in the many conflicts involving Ukraine, and, as a result, by the next week, most details on the idea were lost, however some information is still publicly known. For one, the President would become more authoritarian, the government turned almost completely fascist, and the Congress reformed into an aristocracy of ministers. Although no one spoke out against it, it is generally recognized that the public did not support the reforms.<br />
[[File:4195074.gif|200px|thumb|right|Flag of the Second Convention and State of New Spain]]<br />
After the reform project, the Progressive Movement slowly died, falling into nothing as the nation continued on with its attempts to calm the recent reforms and recover and stabilize to the position in which it was before the Second Convention, generally recognized as a failure. However, although the convention was largely a fiasco, it has long been recognized that it is possible that, at least at the time, more bills, as well as overall more action, occurred in Congress during the Second Convention than any other period since the first founding of the Federation. Therefore, the remainder of the Second Convention was spent retrieving what was lost by the Revolt. The Convention, never officially adjourned, died around December 18. The ending effects of the Second Convention included the fold of the Federalist Party, and the Progressive Party replacing the Federalists.<br />
<br />
=== The Third Convention (April 20 - May 1 2015) ===<br />
<br />
The end of the Progressive era, as well as the Second Convention and the State of New Spain, had occurred over 4 months ago. The longest idle in the history of the Federated States of America had occurred, and people had begun to grow restless for a new convention to move on from the Second Convention of the prior December. After exchanging words, the President and Vice President saw it fit to call Congress once again, and they both agreed the new convention had potential superior to either of the first two. This discussion occurred over the weekend of April 18 and April 19, and on April 20, Congress was finally called to meet for a convention. The Third Convention, it was agreed and executed, to focus primarily on diplomacy. For the first time, the Federated States of America received recognition, as well as offered recognition. It also saw the grand opening of the website, the establishment of future goals, and preparations for the Federation's Charter. The Third Convention almost passed the second convention for bills passed, and saw multiple positive reforms. It witnessed the first citizenship application as well. <br />
<br />
Since the Second Convention as well as the Progressive era, the major political party and the only official one in the government, the Federalist Party, folded, leaving no political parties. During the beginning of the Third Convention, many people, including the President, categorized themselves under the Progressive Party, although it never became officially or federally recognized. At this time, because most bills were regarding foreign affairs, there was not very much going on politically during the Third Convention, and thus, political parties were not really needed. However, towards the end of the Third Convention, two parties began to rise, the former Federalist Party and the President's Know Nothing Party, unaffiliated to the Know Nothing Party of the United States of America during the 1800's.\<br />
<br />
Likely the most important event during the Third Convention were the beginning stages of the Charter of the Federated States of America, the second Constitution of the nation, which accounted for several reforms. Other important reforms and bills passed were budgets, income plans, opening of trade routes, and many more which made this convention crucial to the welfare of the nation.<br />

The '''Federated States''', formally the '''Federated States of America''', is a self declared independent state that is internationally recognized as an autonomous region of the United States of America. The nation was originally founded as the '''Republic of Concord''' on August 3, 2014, which is now nationally recognized as the nations' Founder's Day, celebrated as a national holiday. The Federated State's Congress exists in incarnations known as "conventions," of which there have been five: the First, Second, Third, Constitution, and Federal. Up until the Constitution Convention, the conventions had been numbered (i.e. Second Convention), however they have since been given exclusive names. The Federated States of America is composed of six states and one federal district. Each state has the right to create its own laws, given that they do not defy the Charter. The Federal District is the nations capital and is restricted more than the states on its rights.<br />
<br />
The First Convention is generally recognized to have occurred between September 8th and September 29th of 2014. The original convention determined the government structure to be one identical to that of the United States of America, however immediately changes began to be made. The First Convention was openly considered to create a Provisional Government of the states. A major bill passed by the Federated States was to have a multi-party system. Another created the governors of each state become the sole representative of their state in Congress. The final major event during the First Convention was the open war with a nation considering itself the USSR, and claiming a massive section of land comprising of all Europe and Russia. The war ended with a Federation victory.<br />
<br />
The Second Convention was held in December, 2014. It witnessed an important bill that ratified a interpreted version of the United States Constitution as the constitution of the Federated States of America, however this in itself has been interpreted as a bill ratifying a provisional constitution until a more stable governing document might be written, which would later happen. During this convention, it was also resolved unanimously in Congress to cede the Federation states of New Mexico and Colorado back to the United States of America, its American counterpart and technically its federal representation. It was during this time that the first public actions of the Federated States of America began.<br />
<br />
The Third Convention of the Federated States of America, occurring from April 28th to May 1st of 2015, has been possibly the most significant gathering of Federation delegates since the very first. It has seen some of the most important bills in the history of the Federated States. An influential action was the appointment of a Secretary of State. However, a large action during this convention was finally becoming public. The nation became involved in the community, recognized nations, got recognized, developed an economy, developed a ten year plan, and most importantly, established the first official constitution of the Federated States of America, the Articles of Federation and Perpetual Union, creating a permanent government led by Progressive ideals. It was at this convention the words, "Sapientia, Moderatione et Iustitia" were first mentioned, becoming the motto and backbone of the movement.<br />
<br />
The Constitutional Convention, from May 2 to May 12 of 2015, was the one that was originally tasked with the creation of the Charter of the Federated States of America, however following the Vice Presidential Trial incident, in which the Vice President was caught attempting to take action in a violent overthrow of the President, who immediately took action. Although the Congress wanted to put the Vice President on trial, the President claimed that it was legal considering he hadn't taken any violent action as of yet. Thus, the President granted the Vice a full pardon, however requested the Vice President resign and become only a Councilman and a Senator, rather than be an Executive. Following this action, as well a as a failed movement at creating a monarchy, the President declared the Constitution Convention adjourned, and promised a new deal for the people to help them get out of the "Federation's Great Depression."<br />
<br />
The Federal Convention's first session occurred on May 17, 2015 and was the first to be held in the official capitol building, Federal Hall. The first session saw the most bills ever passed in one day in the Federated States. The Federal Convention was the first to officially be kept in formal records, with the bills and the signature of the President recorded in the newly-formed Archives, which are in the Office of the President. It also saw the Federated States claim neutrality in the Israel-Palestine Conflict, and officially recognize the People's Republic of China as the sole government of the nation of China, and recognized the Republic of China only as Taiwan.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
=== Republic of Concord (August 3 - September 8 2014) ===<br />
<br />
The Republic of Concord was founded on August 3rd in a home known today as both the Republic of Concord Historical Site as well as the Federal Hall, the Capitol Building of the Federation. The Republic was founded on the idea of a small-government and a right wing state led by the people. It, however, was not secessionist, and in fact far from it, being inspired by the idea of a simulationist micronation.<br />
old <br />
As it was the reigning micronational power in the area at that time, it expanded its territory to engulf the entire Gulf Coast. It was still a quiet, non-recognized micronation, so nobody was able to contest the claim. In turn the Republic of Concord, with an official population of 1 citizen, was able to carry out on a whim whatsoever they desired. One significant action the Republic took, was the creation of a Concordian Factbook. There was also a brief attempt at printing currency, albeit a failure.. By September, the Republic of Concord had fallen into a state of inactivity. A meeting was then called upon with some non-aligned people, who soon after applied for citizenship in the Republic. As expected, these people were soon brought into the government, which it was then agreed should be altered greatly.<br />
<br />
=== The First Convention (September 8 - September 28 2014) === <br />
<br />
Immediately after, it was decided to expand the Republic of Concord, and it was also determined that a new name should be assumed. It was decided that the Federated States of America would fit the task to their liking. Soon after, the Federated States rapidly extended their original land claim to encompass the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, and Illinois. The newly formed Federation Congress was led by a figure then known as the Head of State, and who was also considered to be the Provisional Governor for all states not yet under official representation. By September 10, a new federal government and state governments were officially declared. However, the nation was still publicly unrecognized, an issue delayed by the First Convention. This first convention also unofficially sided with Israel in the Israel-Palestine conflict.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nunst020.gif|200px|thumb|right|Seal of the Flag of the First Convention]]<br />
<br />
For a Charter, The Federated States of America Congress decided to hold off on an official governing document, and instead chose to use an interpreted version of the Constitution of the United States of America, with a Bill of Rights reformed to the original amendments. The First Convention deemed the idea of a Declaration of Independence unnecessary, especially "Considering the upcoming Presidential Elections in the United States of America, official separation seems like an unwise move at this time." It was also considered making communications with the United States, however that was also deemed unnecessary.<br />
<br />
Around September 23rd, an aggressive simulation micronation known as the USSR, claiming to have absolute right to the entire European Continent, as well as the entire nation of Russia. The Federated States of America, in fear of their national security, attempted to extend a formal olive branch to the USSR, however the USSR denied the claim that they had no effective control over the lands that they claimed. The USSR also made threats against the Federated States of America and its people, and on September 23, 2014, the FSA-USSR War began. Using unique tactics, traditional commander-in-chief, The President, called upon the army, which was not yet formed, and prepared for war. The Declaration of War against the USSR by The President of the Federated States of America ordered on September 23rd brought upon a 1-hour long battle known as the Battle of Spring Hill, in which the Federated States Army, led by the Commander-in-chief, marched upon outnumbered USSR soldiers and attacked, barraging the enemy. Within the hour the war was over, and the USSR surrendered to American soldiers.<br />
<br />
By September 29th, the USSR surrendered its entire army to the force of the Federated States of America. Terms of surrender were that the USSR would cease hostile threats, as well as give up its entire claim of land. The latter demand was not accepted by the USSR. The President then stated, "Please, friends, I promise to every single man and women here today that the USSR will fall by the end of this convention. Later that day, the USSR collapsed with no final words, and a weak army. With that action, the First Convention was declared adjourned.<br />
<br />
=== The Second Convention & The Progressive Movement (December 8 - December 18 2014) ===<br />
<br />
Following the Congressional recess, the President of the Federated States of America called the Congress forward to a Second Convention, hoping to advance the success of the Federation even more than in the previous convention. It wasn't until the day following that Congress joined together once again, on the date generally recognized as December 8, 2014. It seemed, by the first day in the Second Convention, that something had changed within the minds of Congress. However, it wouldn't be until December 10 that the times in the Federated States hit an all-time low, which, for a micronation still attempting to establish itself, was not the best possible outcome of the new convention.<br />
<br />
On December 10, while an informal convention of Congress was in session, what is known as the "Climax of the Federation's Progressive Movement" began. What has come to be known as the Wunderlich Revolt began on that cold, dry afternoon. It was a force for change in the Federation government, which is known now as the "Federalist Interpretation of Fascism", in which many bills were passed by an aristocratic congress calling for a new government, and a transition from the former Federated States of America to the State of New Spain, led by an authoritarian president and an aristocratic ministry. Fortunately, the documents outlining the many reforms were lost during the plot to side with Russia in the many conflicts involving Ukraine, and, as a result, by the next week, most details on the idea were lost, however some information is still publicly known. For one, the President would become more authoritarian, the government turned almost completely fascist, and the Congress reformed into an aristocracy of ministers. Although no one spoke out against it, it is generally recognized that the public did not support the reforms.<br />
[[File:4195074.gif|200px|thumb|right|Flag of the Second Convention and State of New Spain]]<br />
After the reform project, the Progressive Movement slowly died, falling into nothing as the nation continued on with its attempts to calm the recent reforms and recover and stabilize to the position in which it was before the Second Convention, generally recognized as a failure. However, although the convention was largely a fiasco, it has long been recognized that it is possible that, at least at the time, more bills, as well as overall more action, occurred in Congress during the Second Convention than any other period since the first founding of the Federation. Therefore, the remainder of the Second Convention was spent retrieving what was lost by the Revolt. The Convention, never officially adjourned, died around December 18. The ending effects of the Second Convention included the fold of the Federalist Party, and the Progressive Party replacing the Federalists.<br />
<br />
=== The Third Convention (April 20 - May 1 2015) ===<br />
<br />
The end of the Progressive era, as well as the Second Convention and the State of New Spain, had occurred over 4 months ago. The longest idle in the history of the Federated States of America had occurred, and people had begun to grow restless for a new convention to move on from the Second Convention of the prior December. After exchanging words, the President and Vice President saw it fit to call Congress once again, and they both agreed the new convention had potential superior to either of the first two. This discussion occurred over the weekend of April 18 and April 19, and on April 20, Congress was finally called to meet for a convention. The Third Convention, it was agreed and executed, to focus primarily on diplomacy. For the first time, the Federated States of America received recognition, as well as offered recognition. It also saw the grand opening of the website, the establishment of future goals, and preparations for the Federation's Charter. The Third Convention almost passed the second convention for bills passed, and saw multiple positive reforms. It witnessed the first citizenship application as well. <br />
<br />
Since the Second Convention as well as the Progressive era, the major political party and the only official one in the government, the Federalist Party, folded, leaving no political parties. During the beginning of the Third Convention, many people, including the President, categorized themselves under the Progressive Party, although it never became officially or federally recognized. At this time, because most bills were regarding foreign affairs, there was not very much going on politically during the Third Convention, and thus, political parties were not really needed. However, towards the end of the Third Convention, two parties began to rise, the former Federalist Party and the President's Know Nothing Party, unaffiliated to the Know Nothing Party of the United States of America during the 1800's.\<br />
<br />
Likely the most important event during the Third Convention were the beginning stages of the Charter of the Federated States of America, the second Constitution of the nation, which accounted for several reforms. Other important reforms and bills passed were budgets, income plans, opening of trade routes, and many more which made this convention crucial to the welfare of the nation.<br />

The '''Federated States''', formally the '''Federated States of America''', is a self declared independent state that is internationally recognized as an autonomous region of the United States of America. The nation was originally founded as the '''Republic of Concord''' on August 3, 2014, which is now nationally recognized as the nations' Founder's Day, celebrated as a national holiday. The Federated State's Congress exists in incarnations known as "conventions," of which there have been five: the First, Second, Third, Constitution, and Federal.

By September 29th, the USSR surrendered its entire army to the force of the Federated States of America. Terms of surrender were that the USSR would cease hostile threats, as well as give up its entire claim of land. The latter demand was not accepted by the USSR. The President then stated, "Please, friends, I promise to every single man and women here today that the USSR will fall by the end of this convention. Later that day, the USSR collapsed with no final words, and a weak army. With that action, the First Convention was declared adjourned.<br />
<br />
=== The Second Convention & The Progressive Movement (December 8 - December 18 2014) ===<br />
<br />
Following the Congressional recess, the President of the Federated States of America called the Congress forward to a Second Convention, hoping to advance the success of the Federation even more than in the previous convention. It wasn't until the day following that Congress joined together once again, on the date generally recognized as December 8, 2014. It seemed, by the first day in the Second Convention, that something had changed within the minds of Congress. However, it wouldn't be until December 10 that the times in the Federated States hit an all-time low, which, for a micronation still attempting to establish itself, was not the best possible outcome of the new convention.<br />
<br />
On December 10, while an informal convention of Congress was in session, what is known as the "Climax of the Federation's Progressive Movement" began. What has come to be known as the Wunderlich Revolt began on that cold, dry afternoon. It was a force for change in the Federation government, which is known now as the "Federalist Interpretation of Fascism", in which many bills were passed by an aristocratic congress calling for a new government, and a transition from the former Federated States of America to the State of New Spain, led by an authoritarian president and an aristocratic ministry. Fortunately, the documents outlining the many reforms were lost during the plot to side with Russia in the many conflicts involving Ukraine, and, as a result, by the next week, most details on the idea were lost, however some information is still publicly known. For one, the President would become more authoritarian, the government turned almost completely fascist, and the Congress reformed into an aristocracy of ministers. Although no one spoke out against it, it is generally recognized that the public did not support the reforms.<br />
[[File:4195074.gif|200px|thumb|right|Flag of the Second Convention and State of New Spain]]<br />
After the reform project, the Progressive Movement slowly died, falling into nothing as the nation continued on with its attempts to calm the recent reforms and recover and stabilize to the position in which it was before the Second Convention, generally recognized as a failure. However, although the convention was largely a fiasco, it has long been recognized that it is possible that, at least at the time, more bills, as well as overall more action, occurred in Congress during the Second Convention than any other period since the first founding of the Federation. Therefore, the remainder of the Second Convention was spent retrieving what was lost by the Revolt. The Convention, never officially adjourned, died around December 18. The ending effects of the Second Convention included the fold of the Federalist Party, and the Progressive Party replacing the Federalists.<br />
<br />
=== The Third Convention (April 20 - May 1 2015) ===<br />
<br />
The end of the Progressive era, as well as the Second Convention and the State of New Spain, had occurred over 4 months ago. The longest idle in the history of the Federated States of America had occurred, and people had begun to grow restless for a new convention to move on from the Second Convention of the prior December. After exchanging words, the President and Vice President saw it fit to call Congress once again, and they both agreed the new convention had potential superior to either of the first two. This discussion occurred over the weekend of April 18 and April 19, and on April 20, Congress was finally called to meet for a convention. The Third Convention, it was agreed and executed, to focus primarily on diplomacy. For the first time, the Federated States of America received recognition, as well as offered recognition. It also saw the grand opening of the website, the establishment of future goals, and preparations for the Federation's Charter. The Third Convention almost passed the second convention for bills passed, and saw multiple positive reforms. It witnessed the first citizenship application as well. <br />
<br />
Since the Second Convention as well as the Progressive era, the major political party and the only official one in the government, the Federalist Party, folded, leaving no political parties. During the beginning of the Third Convention, many people, including the President, categorized themselves under the Progressive Party, although it never became officially or federally recognized. At this time, because most bills were regarding foreign affairs, there was not very much going on politically during the Third Convention, and thus, political parties were not really needed. However, towards the end of the Third Convention, two parties began to rise, the former Federalist Party and the President's Know Nothing Party, unaffiliated to the Know Nothing Party of the United States of America during the 1800's.\<br />
<br />
Likely the most important event during the Third Convention were the beginning stages of the Charter of the Federated States of America, the second Constitution of the nation, which accounted for several reforms. Other important reforms and bills passed were budgets, income plans, opening of trade routes, and many more which made this convention crucial to the welfare of the nation.<br />

The '''Federated States''', formally the '''Federated States of America''', is a self declared independent state that is internationally recognized as an autonomous region of the United States of America. The nation was originally founded as the '''Republic of Concord''' on August 3, 2014, which is now nationally recognized as the nations' Founder's Day, celebrated as a national holiday. The Federated State's Congress exists in incarnations known as "conventions," of which there have been five: the First, Second, Third, Constitution, and Federal. Up until the Constitution Convention, the conventions had been numbered (i.e. Second Convention), however they have since been given exclusive names. The Federated States of America is composed of six states and one federal district. Each state has the right to create its own laws, given that they do not defy the Charter. The Federal District is the nations capital and is restricted more than the states on its rights.<br />
<br />
The First Convention is generally recognized to have occurred between September 8th and September 29th of 2014. The original convention determined the government structure to be one identical to that of the United States of America, however immediately changes began to be made. The First Convention was openly considered to create a Provisional Government of the states. A major bill passed by the Federated States was to have a multi-party system. Another created the governors of each state become the sole representative of their state in Congress. The final major event during the First Convention was the open war with a nation considering itself the USSR, and claiming a massive section of land comprising of all Europe and Russia. The war ended with a Federation victory.<br />
<br />
The Second Convention was held in December, 2014. It witnessed an important bill that ratified a interpreted version of the United States Constitution as the constitution of the Federated States of America, however this in itself has been interpreted as a bill ratifying a provisional constitution until a more stable governing document might be written, which would later happen. During this convention, it was also resolved unanimously in Congress to cede the Federation states of New Mexico and Colorado back to the United States of America, its American counterpart and technically its federal representation. It was during this time that the first public actions of the Federated States of America began.<br />
<br />
The Third Convention of the Federated States of America, occurring from April 28th to May 1st of 2015, has been possibly the most significant gathering of Federation delegates since the very first. It has seen some of the most important bills in the history of the Federated States. An influential action was the appointment of a Secretary of State. However, a large action during this convention was finally becoming public. The nation became involved in the community, recognized nations, got recognized, developed an economy, developed a ten year plan, and most importantly, established the first official constitution of the Federated States of America, the Articles of Federation and Perpetual Union, creating a permanent government led by Progressive ideals. It was at this convention the words, "Sapientia, Moderatione et Iustitia" were first mentioned, becoming the motto and backbone of the movement.<br />
<br />
The Constitutional Convention, from May 2 to May 12 of 2015, was the one that was originally tasked with the creation of the Charter of the Federated States of America, however following the Vice Presidential Trial incident, in which the Vice President was caught attempting to take action in a violent overthrow of the President, who immediately took action. Although the Congress wanted to put the Vice President on trial, the President claimed that it was legal considering he hadn't taken any violent action as of yet. Thus, the President granted the Vice a full pardon, however requested the Vice President resign and become only a Councilman and a Senator, rather than be an Executive. Following this action, as well a as a failed movement at creating a monarchy, the President declared the Constitution Convention adjourned, and promised a new deal for the people to help them get out of the "Federation's Great Depression."<br />
<br />
The Federal Convention's first session occurred on May 17, 2015 and was the first to be held in the official capitol building, Federal Hall. The first session saw the most bills ever passed in one day in the Federated States. The Federal Convention was the first to officially be kept in formal records, with the bills and the signature of the President recorded in the newly-formed Archives, which are in the Office of the President. It also saw the Federated States claim neutrality in the Israel-Palestine Conflict, and officially recognize the People's Republic of China as the sole government of the nation of China, and recognized the Republic of China only as Taiwan.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
=== Republic of Concord (August 3 - September 8 2014) ===<br />
<br />
The Republic of Concord was founded on August 3rd in a home known today as both the Republic of Concord Historical Site as well as the Federal Hall, the Capitol Building of the Federation. The Republic was founded on the idea of a small-government and a right wing state led by the people. It, however, was not secessionist, and in fact far from it, being inspired by the idea of a simulationist micronation.<br />
old <br />
As it was the reigning micronational power in the area at that time, it expanded its territory to engulf the entire Gulf Coast. It was still a quiet, non-recognized micronation, so nobody was able to contest the claim. In turn the Republic of Concord, with an official population of 1 citizen, was able to carry out on a whim whatsoever they desired. One significant action the Republic took, was the creation of a Concordian Factbook. There was also a brief attempt at printing currency, albeit a failure.. By September, the Republic of Concord had fallen into a state of inactivity. A meeting was then called upon with some non-aligned people, who soon after applied for citizenship in the Republic. As expected, these people were soon brought into the government, which it was then agreed should be altered greatly.<br />
<br />
=== The First Convention (September 8 - September 28 2014) === <br />
<br />
Immediately after, it was decided to expand the Republic of Concord, and it was also determined that a new name should be assumed. It was decided that the Federated States of America would fit the task to their liking. Soon after, the Federated States rapidly extended their original land claim to encompass the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, and Illinois. The newly formed Federation Congress was led by a figure then known as the Head of State, and who was also considered to be the Provisional Governor for all states not yet under official representation. By September 10, a new federal government and state governments were officially declared. However, the nation was still publicly unrecognized, an issue delayed by the First Convention. This first convention also unofficially sided with Israel in the Israel-Palestine conflict.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nunst020.gif|200px|thumb|right|Seal of the Flag of the First Convention]]<br />
<br />
For a Charter, The Federated States of America Congress decided to hold off on an official governing document, and instead chose to use an interpreted version of the Constitution of the United States of America, with a Bill of Rights reformed to the original amendments. The First Convention deemed the idea of a Declaration of Independence unnecessary, especially "Considering the upcoming Presidential Elections in the United States of America, official separation seems like an unwise move at this time." It was also considered making communications with the United States, however that was also deemed unnecessary.<br />
<br />
Around September 23rd, an aggressive simulation micronation known as the USSR, claiming to have absolute right to the entire European Continent, as well as the entire nation of Russia. The Federated States of America, in fear of their national security, attempted to extend a formal olive branch to the USSR, however the USSR denied the claim that they had no effective control over the lands that they claimed. The USSR also made threats against the Federated States of America and its people, and on September 23, 2014, the FSA-USSR War began. Using unique tactics, traditional commander-in-chief, The President, called upon the army, which was not yet formed, and prepared for war. The Declaration of War against the USSR by The President of the Federated States of America ordered on September 23rd brought upon a 1-hour long battle known as the Battle of Spring Hill, in which the Federated States Army, led by the Commander-in-chief, marched upon outnumbered USSR soldiers and attacked, barraging the enemy. Within the hour the war was over, and the USSR surrendered to American soldiers.<br />
<br />
By September 29th, the USSR surrendered its entire army to the force of the Federated States of America. Terms of surrender were that the USSR would cease hostile threats, as well as give up its entire claim of land. The latter demand was not accepted by the USSR. The President then stated, "Please, friends, I promise to every single man and women here today that the USSR will fall by the end of this convention. Later that day, the USSR collapsed with no final words, and a weak army. With that action, the First Convention was declared adjourned.<br />

It was a force for change in the Federation government, which is known now as the "Federalist Interpretation of Fascism", in which many bills were passed by an aristocratic congress calling for a new government, and a transition from the former Federated States of America to the State of New Spain, led by an authoritarian president and an aristocratic ministry.

The final major event during the First Convention was the open war with a nation considering itself the USSR, and claiming a massive section of land comprising of all Europe and Russia. The war ended with a Federation victory.<br />
<br />
The Second Convention was held in December, 2014. It witnessed an important bill that ratified a interpreted version of the United States Constitution as the constitution of the Federated States of America, however this in itself has been interpreted as a bill ratifying a provisional constitution until a more stable governing document might be written, which would later happen. During this convention, it was also resolved unanimously in Congress to cede the Federation states of New Mexico and Colorado back to the United States of America, its American counterpart and technically its federal representation. It was during this time that the first public actions of the Federated States of America began.<br />
<br />
The Third Convention of the Federated States of America, occurring from April 28th to May 1st of 2015, has been possibly the most significant gathering of Federation delegates since the very first. It has seen some of the most important bills in the history of the Federated States. An influential action was the appointment of a Secretary of State. However, a large action during this convention was finally becoming public. The nation became involved in the community, recognized nations, got recognized, developed an economy, developed a ten year plan, and most importantly, established the first official constitution of the Federated States of America, the Articles of Federation and Perpetual Union, creating a permanent government led by Progressive ideals. It was at this convention the words, "Sapientia, Moderatione et Iustitia" were first mentioned, becoming the motto and backbone of the movement.<br />
<br />
The Constitutional Convention, from May 2 to May 12 of 2015, was the one that was originally tasked with the creation of the Charter of the Federated States of America, however following the Vice Presidential Trial incident, in which the Vice President was caught attempting to take action in a violent overthrow of the President, who immediately took action. Although the Congress wanted to put the Vice President on trial, the President claimed that it was legal considering he hadn't taken any violent action as of yet. Thus, the President granted the Vice a full pardon, however requested the Vice President resign and become only a Councilman and a Senator, rather than be an Executive. Following this action, as well a as a failed movement at creating a monarchy, the President declared the Constitution Convention adjourned, and promised a new deal for the people to help them get out of the "Federation's Great Depression."<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
=== Republic of Concord (August 3 - September 8 2014) ===<br />
<br />
The Republic of Concord was founded on August 3rd in a home known today as both the Republic of Concord Historical Site as well as the Federal Hall, the Capitol Building of the Federation. The Republic was founded on the idea of a small-government and a right wing state led by the people. It, however, was not secessionist, and in fact far from it, being inspired by the idea of a simulationist micronation.<br />
old <br />
As it was the reigning micronational power in the area at that time, it expanded its territory to engulf the entire Gulf Coast. It was still a quiet, non-recognized micronation, so nobody was able to contest the claim. In turn the Republic of Concord, with an official population of 1 citizen, was able to carry out on a whim whatsoever they desired. One significant action the Republic took, was the creation of a Concordian Factbook. There was also a brief attempt at printing currency, albeit a failure.. By September, the Republic of Concord had fallen into a state of inactivity. A meeting was then called upon with some non-aligned people, who soon after applied for citizenship in the Republic. As expected, these people were soon brought into the government, which it was then agreed should be altered greatly.<br />
<br />
=== The First Convention (September 8 - September 28 2014) === <br />
<br />
Immediately after, it was decided to expand the Republic of Concord, and it was also determined that a new name should be assumed. It was decided that the Federated States of America would fit the task to their liking. Soon after, the Federated States rapidly extended their original land claim to encompass the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, and Illinois. The newly formed Federation Congress was led by a figure then known as the Head of State, and who was also considered to be the Provisional Governor for all states not yet under official representation. By September 10, a new federal government and state governments were officially declared. However, the nation was still publicly unrecognized, an issue delayed by the First Convention. This first convention also unofficially sided with Israel in the Israel-Palestine conflict.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nunst020.gif|200px|thumb|right|Seal of the Flag of the First Convention]]<br />
<br />
For a Charter, The Federated States of America Congress decided to hold off on an official governing document, and instead chose to use an interpreted version of the Constitution of the United States of America, with a Bill of Rights reformed to the original amendments. The First Convention deemed the idea of a Declaration of Independence unnecessary, especially "Considering the upcoming Presidential Elections in the United States of America, official separation seems like an unwise move at this time." It was also considered making communications with the United States, however that was also deemed unnecessary.<br />
<br />
Around September 23rd, an aggressive simulation micronation known as the USSR, claiming to have absolute right to the entire European Continent, as well as the entire nation of Russia. The Federated States of America, in fear of their national security, attempted to extend a formal olive branch to the USSR, however the USSR denied the claim that they had no effective control over the lands that they claimed. The USSR also made threats against the Federated States of America and its people, and on September 23, 2014, the FSA-USSR War began. Using unique tactics, traditional commander-in-chief, The President, called upon the army, which was not yet formed, and prepared for war. The Declaration of War against the USSR by The President of the Federated States of America ordered on September 23rd brought upon a 1-hour long battle known as the Battle of Spring Hill, in which the Federated States Army, led by the Commander-in-chief, marched upon outnumbered USSR soldiers and attacked, barraging the enemy. Within the hour the war was over, and the USSR surrendered to American soldiers.<br />
<br />
By September 29th, the USSR surrendered its entire army to the force of the Federated States of America. Terms of surrender were that the USSR would cease hostile threats, as well as give up its entire claim of land. The latter demand was not accepted by the USSR. The President then stated, "Please, friends, I promise to every single man and women here today that the USSR will fall by the end of this convention. Later that day, the USSR collapsed with no final words, and a weak army. With that action, the First Convention was declared adjourned.<br />
<br />
=== The Second Convention & The Progressive Movement (December 8 - December 18 2014) ===<br />
<br />
Following the Congressional recess, the President of the Federated States of America called the Congress forward to a Second Convention, hoping to advance the success of the Federation even more than in the previous convention. It wasn't until the day following that Congress joined together once again, on the date generally recognized as December 8, 2014. It seemed, by the first day in the Second Convention, that something had changed within the minds of Congress. However, it wouldn't be until December 10 that the times in the Federated States hit an all-time low, which, for a micronation still attempting to establish itself, was not the best possible outcome of the new convention.<br />
<br />
On December 10, while an informal convention of Congress was in session, what is known as the "Climax of the Federation's Progressive Movement" began. What has come to be known as the Wunderlich Revolt began on that cold, dry afternoon. It was a force for change in the Federation government, which is known now as the "Federalist Interpretation of Fascism", in which many bills were passed by an aristocratic congress calling for a new government, and a transition from the former Federated States of America to the State of New Spain, led by an authoritarian president and an aristocratic ministry. Fortunately, the documents outlining the many reforms were lost during the plot to side with Russia in the many conflicts involving Ukraine, and, as a result, by the next week, most details on the idea were lost, however some information is still publicly known. For one, the President would become more authoritarian, the government turned almost completely fascist, and the Congress reformed into an aristocracy of ministers. Although no one spoke out against it, it is generally recognized that the public did not support the reforms.<br />
[[File:4195074.gif|200px|thumb|right|Flag of the Second Convention and State of New Spain]]<br />
After the reform project, the Progressive Movement slowly died, falling into nothing as the nation continued on with its attempts to calm the recent reforms and recover and stabilize to the position in which it was before the Second Convention, generally recognized as a failure. However, although the convention was largely a fiasco, it has long been recognized that it is possible that, at least at the time, more bills, as well as overall more action, occurred in Congress during the Second Convention than any other period since the first founding of the Federation. Therefore, the remainder of the Second Convention was spent retrieving what was lost by the Revolt. The Convention, never officially adjourned, died around December 18. The ending effects of the Second Convention included the fold of the Federalist Party, and the Progressive Party replacing the Federalists.<br />
<br />
=== The Third Convention (April 20 - May 1 2015) ===<br />
<br />
The end of the Progressive era, as well as the Second Convention and the State of New Spain, had occurred over 4 months ago. The longest idle in the history of the Federated States of America had occurred, and people had begun to grow restless for a new convention to move on from the Second Convention of the prior December. After exchanging words, the President and Vice President saw it fit to call Congress once again, and they both agreed the new convention had potential superior to either of the first two. This discussion occurred over the weekend of April 18 and April 19, and on April 20, Congress was finally called to meet for a convention. The Third Convention, it was agreed and executed, to focus primarily on diplomacy. For the first time, the Federated States of America received recognition, as well as offered recognition. It also saw the grand opening of the website, the establishment of future goals, and preparations for the Federation's Charter. The Third Convention almost passed the second convention for bills passed, and saw multiple positive reforms. It witnessed the first citizenship application as well. <br />
<br />
Since the Second Convention as well as the Progressive era, the major political party and the only official one in the government, the Federalist Party, folded, leaving no political parties. During the beginning of the Third Convention, many people, including the President, categorized themselves under the Progressive Party, although it never became officially or federally recognized. At this time, because most bills were regarding foreign affairs, there was not very much going on politically during the Third Convention, and thus, political parties were not really needed. However, towards the end of the Third Convention, two parties began to rise, the former Federalist Party and the President's Know Nothing Party, unaffiliated to the Know Nothing Party of the United States of America during the 1800's.\<br />
<br />
Likely the most important event during the Third Convention were the beginning stages of the Charter of the Federated States of America, the second Constitution of the nation, which accounted for several reforms. Other important reforms and bills passed were budgets, income plans, opening of trade routes, and many more which made this convention crucial to the welfare of the nation.<br />

The '''Federated States''', formally the '''Federated States of America''', is a self declared independent state that is internationally recognized as an autonomous region of the United States of America. The nation was originally founded as the '''Republic of Concord''' on August 3, 2014, which is now nationally recognized as the nations' Founder's Day, celebrated as a national holiday. The Federated State's Congress exists in incarnations known as "conventions," of which there have been five: the First, Second, Third, Constitution, and Federal. Up until the Constitution Convention, the conventions had been numbered (i.e. Second Convention), however they have since been given exclusive names. The Federated States of America is composed of six states and one federal district. Each state has the right to create its own laws, given that they do not defy the Charter. The Federal District is the nations capital and is restricted more than the states on its rights.<br />
<br />
The First Convention is generally recognized to have occurred between September 8th and September 29th of 2014. The original convention determined the government structure to be one identical to that of the United States of America, however immediately changes began to be made. The First Convention was openly considered to create a Provisional Government of the states. A major bill passed by the Federated States was to have a multi-party system. Another created the governors of each state become the sole representative of their state in Congress. The final major event during the First Convention was the open war with a nation considering itself the USSR, and claiming a massive section of land comprising of all Europe and Russia. The war ended with a Federation victory.<br />

The nation was originally founded as the '''Republic of Concord''' on August 3, 2014, which is now nationally recognized as the nations' Founder's Day, celebrated as a national holiday. The Federated State's Congress exists in incarnations known as "conventions," of which there have been five: the First, Second, Third, Constitution, and Federal. Up until the Constitution Convention, the conventions had been numbered (i.e. Second Convention), however they have since been given exclusive names. The Federated States of America is composed of six states and one federal district. Each state has the right to create its own laws, given that they do not defy the Charter. The Federal District is the nations capital and is restricted more than the states on its rights.<br />
<br />
The First Convention is generally recognized to have occurred between September 8th and September 29th of 2014. The original convention determined the government structure to be one identical to that of the United States of America, however immediately changes began to be made. The First Convention was openly considered to create a Provisional Government of the states. A major bill passed by the Federated States was to have a multi-party system. Another created the governors of each state become the sole representative of their state in Congress. The final major event during the First Convention was the open war with a nation considering itself the USSR, and claiming a massive section of land comprising of all Europe and Russia. The war ended with a Federation victory.<br />
<br />
The Second Convention was held in December, 2014. It witnessed an important bill that ratified a interpreted version of the United States Constitution as the constitution of the Federated States of America, however this in itself has been interpreted as a bill ratifying a provisional constitution until a more stable governing document might be written, which would later happen. During this convention, it was also resolved unanimously in Congress to cede the Federation states of New Mexico and Colorado back to the United States of America, its American counterpart and technically its federal representation. It was during this time that the first public actions of the Federated States of America began.<br />
<br />
The Third Convention of the Federated States of America, occurring from April 28th to May 1st of 2015, has been possibly the most significant gathering of Federation delegates since the very first. It has seen some of the most important bills in the history of the Federated States. An influential action was the appointment of a Secretary of State. However, a large action during this convention was finally becoming public. The nation became involved in the community, recognized nations, got recognized, developed an economy, developed a ten year plan, and most importantly, established the first official constitution of the Federated States of America, the Articles of Federation and Perpetual Union, creating a permanent government led by Progressive ideals. It was at this convention the words, "Sapientia, Moderatione et Iustitia" were first mentioned, becoming the motto and backbone of the movement.<br />
<br />
The Constitutional Convention, from May 2 to May 12 of 2015, was the one that was originally tasked with the creation of the Charter of the Federated States of America, however following the Vice Presidential Trial incident, in which the Vice President was caught attempting to take action in a violent overthrow of the President, who immediately took action. Although the Congress wanted to put the Vice President on trial, the President claimed that it was legal considering he hadn't taken any violent action as of yet. Thus, the President granted the Vice a full pardon, however requested the Vice President resign and become only a Councilman and a Senator, rather than be an Executive. Following this action, as well a as a failed movement at creating a monarchy, the President declared the Constitution Convention adjourned, and promised a new deal for the people to help them get out of the "Federation's Great Depression."<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
=== Republic of Concord (August 3 - September 8) ===<br />
<br />
The Republic of Concord was founded on August 3rd in a home known today as both the Republic of Concord Historical Site as well as the Federal Hall, the Capitol Building of the Federation. The Republic was founded on the idea of a small-government and a right wing state led by the people. It, however, was not secessionist, and in fact far from it, being inspired by the idea of a simulationist micronation.<br />
old <br />
As it was the reigning micronational power in the area at that time, it expanded its territory to engulf the entire Gulf Coast. It was still a quiet, non-recognized micronation, so nobody was able to contest the claim. In turn the Republic of Concord, with an official population of 1 citizen, was able to carry out on a whim whatsoever they desired. One significant action the Republic took, was the creation of a Concordian Factbook. There was also a brief attempt at printing currency, albeit a failure.. By September, the Republic of Concord had fallen into a state of inactivity. A meeting was then called upon with some non-aligned people, who soon after applied for citizenship in the Republic. As expected, these people were soon brought into the government, which it was then agreed should be altered greatly.<br />
<br />
=== The First Convention (September 8 - September 28) === <br />
<br />
Immediately after, it was decided to expand the Republic of Concord, and it was also determined that a new name should be assumed. It was decided that the Federated States of America would fit the task to their liking. Soon after, the Federated States rapidly extended their original land claim to encompass the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, and Illinois. The newly formed Federation Congress was led by a figure then known as the Head of State, and who was also considered to be the Provisional Governor for all states not yet under official representation. By September 10, a new federal government and state governments were officially declared. However, the nation was still publicly unrecognized, an issue delayed by the First Convention. This first convention also unofficially sided with Israel in the Israel-Palestine conflict.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nunst020.gif|200px|thumb|right|Seal of the Flag of the First Convention]]<br />
<br />
For a Charter, The Federated States of America Congress decided to hold off on an official governing document, and instead chose to use an interpreted version of the Constitution of the United States of America, with a Bill of Rights reformed to the original amendments. The First Convention deemed the idea of a Declaration of Independence unnecessary, especially "Considering the upcoming Presidential Elections in the United States of America, official separation seems like an unwise move at this time." It was also considered making communications with the United States, however that was also deemed unnecessary.<br />
<br />
Around September 23rd, an aggressive simulation micronation known as the USSR, claiming to have absolute right to the entire European Continent, as well as the entire nation of Russia. The Federated States of America, in fear of their national security, attempted to extend a formal olive branch to the USSR, however the USSR denied the claim that they had no effective control over the lands that they claimed. The USSR also made threats against the Federated States of America and its people, and on September 23, 2014, the FSA-USSR War began. Using unique tactics, traditional commander-in-chief, The President, called upon the army, which was not yet formed, and prepared for war. The Declaration of War against the USSR by The President of the Federated States of America ordered on September 23rd brought upon a 1-hour long battle known as the Battle of Spring Hill, in which the Federated States Army, led by the Commander-in-chief, marched upon outnumbered USSR soldiers and attacked, barraging the enemy. Within the hour the war was over, and the USSR surrendered to American soldiers.<br />
<br />
By September 29th, the USSR surrendered its entire army to the force of the Federated States of America. Terms of surrender were that the USSR would cease hostile threats, as well as give up its entire claim of land. The latter demand was not accepted by the USSR. The President then stated, "Please, friends, I promise to every single man and women here today that the USSR will fall by the end of this convention. Later that day, the USSR collapsed with no final words, and a weak army. With that action, the First Convention was declared adjourned.<br />
<br />
=== The Second Convention & The Progressive Movement (December 8 - December 18) ===<br />
<br />
Following the Congressional recess, the President of the Federated States of America called the Congress forward to a Second Convention, hoping to advance the success of the Federation even more than in the previous convention. It wasn't until the day following that Congress joined together once again, on the date generally recognized as December 8, 2014. It seemed, by the first day in the Second Convention, that something had changed within the minds of Congress. However, it wouldn't be until December 10 that the times in the Federated States hit an all-time low, which, for a micronation still attempting to establish itself, was not the best possible outcome of the new convention.<br />
<br />
On December 10, while an informal convention of Congress was in session, what is known as the "Climax of the Federation's Progressive Movement" began. What has come to be known as the Wunderlich Revolt began on that cold, dry afternoon. It was a force for change in the Federation government, which is known now as the "Federalist Interpretation of Fascism", in which many bills were passed by an aristocratic congress calling for a new government, and a transition from the former Federated States of America to the State of New Spain, led by an authoritarian president and an aristocratic ministry. Fortunately, the documents outlining the many reforms were lost during the plot to side with Russia in the many conflicts involving Ukraine, and, as a result, by the next week, most details on the idea were lost, however some information is still publicly known. For one, the President would become more authoritarian, the government turned almost completely fascist, and the Congress reformed into an aristocracy of ministers. Although no one spoke out against it, it is generally recognized that the public did not support the reforms.<br />
[[File:4195074.gif|200px|thumb|right|Flag of the Second Convention and State of New Spain]]<br />
After the reform project, the Progressive Movement slowly died, falling into nothing as the nation continued on with its attempts to calm the recent reforms and recover and stabilize to the position in which it was before the Second Convention, generally recognized as a failure. However, although the convention was largely a fiasco, it has long been recognized that it is possible that, at least at the time, more bills, as well as overall more action, occurred in Congress during the Second Convention than any other period since the first founding of the Federation. Therefore, the remainder of the Second Convention was spent retrieving what was lost by the Revolt. The Convention, never officially adjourned, died around December 18. The ending effects of the Second Convention included the fold of the Federalist Party, and the Progressive Party replacing the Federalists.<br />
<br />
=== The Third Convention (April 20 - May 1) ===<br />
<br />
The end of the Progressive era, as well as the Second Convention and the State of New Spain, had occurred over 4 months ago. The longest idle in the history of the Federated States of America had occurred, and people had begun to grow restless for a new convention to move on from the Second Convention of the prior December. After exchanging words, the President and Vice President saw it fit to call Congress once again, and they both agreed the new convention had potential superior to either of the first two. This discussion occurred over the weekend of April 18 and April 19, and on April 20, Congress was finally called to meet for a convention. The Third Convention, it was agreed and executed, to focus primarily on diplomacy. For the first time, the Federated States of America received recognition, as well as offered recognition. It also saw the grand opening of the website, the establishment of future goals, and preparations for the Federation's Charter. The Third Convention almost passed the second convention for bills passed, and saw multiple positive reforms. It witnessed the first citizenship application as well. <br />
<br />
Since the Second Convention as well as the Progressive era, the major political party and the only official one in the government, the Federalist Party, folded, leaving no political parties. During the beginning of the Third Convention, many people, including the President, categorized themselves under the Progressive Party, although it never became officially or federally recognized. At this time, because most bills were regarding foreign affairs, there was not very much going on politically during the Third Convention, and thus, political parties were not really needed. However, towards the end of the Third Convention, two parties began to rise, the former Federalist Party and the President's Know Nothing Party, unaffiliated to the Know Nothing Party of the United States of America during the 1800's.\<br />
<br />
Likely the most important event during the Third Convention were the beginning stages of the Charter of the Federated States of America, the second Constitution of the nation, which accounted for several reforms. Other important reforms and bills passed were budgets, income plans, opening of trade routes, and many more which made this convention crucial to the welfare of the nation.<br />

The '''Federated States''', formally the '''Federated States of America''', is a self declared independent state that is internationally recognized as an autonomous region of the United States of America. The nation was originally founded as the '''Republic of Concord''' on August 3, 2014, which is now nationally recognized as the nations' Founder's Day, celebrated as a national holiday. The Federated State's Congress exists in incarnations known as "conventions," of which there have been five: the First, Second, Third, Constitution, and Federal. Up until the Constitution Convention, the conventions had been numbered (i.e. Second Convention), however they have since been given exclusive names. The Federated States of America is composed of six states and one federal district. Each state has the right to create its own laws, given that they do not defy the Charter. The Federal District is the nations capital and is restricted more than the states on its rights.<br />
<br />
The First Convention is generally recognized to have occurred between September 8th and September 29th of 2014. The original convention determined the government structure to be one identical to that of the United States of America, however immediately changes began to be made. The First Convention was openly considered to create a Provisional Government of the states. A major bill passed by the Federated States was to have a multi-party system. Another created the governors of each state become the sole representative of their state in Congress. The final major event during the First Convention was the open war with a nation considering itself the USSR, and claiming a massive section of land comprising of all Europe and Russia. The war ended with a Federation victory.<br />
<br />
The Second Convention was held in December, 2014. It witnessed an important bill that ratified a interpreted version of the United States Constitution as the constitution of the Federated States of America, however this in itself has been interpreted as a bill ratifying a provisional constitution until a more stable governing document might be written, which would later happen. During this convention, it was also resolved unanimously in Congress to cede the Federation states of New Mexico and Colorado back to the United States of America, its American counterpart and technically its federal representation. It was during this time that the first public actions of the Federated States of America began.<br />
<br />
The Third Convention of the Federated States of America, occurring from April 28th to May 1st of 2015, has been possibly the most significant gathering of Federation delegates since the very first. It has seen some of the most important bills in the history of the Federated States. An influential action was the appointment of a Secretary of State. However, a large action during this convention was finally becoming public. The nation became involved in the community, recognized nations, got recognized, developed an economy, developed a ten year plan, and most importantly, established the first official constitution of the Federated States of America, the Articles of Federation and Perpetual Union, creating a permanent government led by Progressive ideals. It was at this convention the words, "Sapientia, Moderatione et Iustitia" were first mentioned, becoming the motto and backbone of the movement.<br />
<br />
The Constitutional Convention, from May 2 to May 12 of 2015, was the one that was originally tasked with the creation of the Charter of the Federated States of America, however following the Vice Presidential Trial incident, in which the Vice President was caught attempting to take action in a violent overthrow of the President, who immediately took action. Although the Congress wanted to put the Vice President on trial, the President claimed that it was legal considering he hadn't taken any violent action as of yet. Thus, the President granted the Vice a full pardon, however requested the Vice President resign and become only a Councilman and a Senator, rather than be an Executive. Following this action, as well a as a failed movement at creating a monarchy, the President declared the Constitution Convention adjourned, and promised a new deal for the people to help them get out of the "Federation's Great Depression."<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
=== Republic of Concord (August 3 - September 8) ===<br />
<br />
The Republic of Concord was founded on August 3rd in a home known today as both the Republic of Concord Historical Site as well as the Federal Hall, the Capitol Building of the Federation. The Republic was founded on the idea of a small-government and a right wing state led by the people. It, however, was not secessionist, and in fact far from it, being inspired by the idea of a simulationist micronation.<br />
old <br />
As it was the reigning micronational power in the area at that time, it expanded its territory to engulf the entire Gulf Coast. It was still a quiet, non-recognized micronation, so nobody was able to contest the claim. In turn the Republic of Concord, with an official population of 1 citizen, was able to carry out on a whim whatsoever they desired. One significant action the Republic took, was the creation of a Concordian Factbook. There was also a brief attempt at printing currency, albeit a failure.. By September, the Republic of Concord had fallen into a state of inactivity. A meeting was then called upon with some non-aligned people, who soon after applied for citizenship in the Republic. As expected, these people were soon brought into the government, which it was then agreed should be altered greatly.<br />
<br />
=== The First Convention (September 8 - September 28) === <br />
<br />
Immediately after, it was decided to expand the Republic of Concord, and it was also determined that a new name should be assumed. It was decided that the Federated States of America would fit the task to their liking. Soon after, the Federated States rapidly extended their original land claim to encompass the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, and Illinois. The newly formed Federation Congress was led by a figure then known as the Head of State, and who was also considered to be the Provisional Governor for all states not yet under official representation. By September 10, a new federal government and state governments were officially declared. However, the nation was still publicly unrecognized, an issue delayed by the First Convention. This first convention also unofficially sided with Israel in the Israel-Palestine conflict.<br />
<br />
[[File:Nunst020.gif|200px|thumb|right|Seal of the Flag of the First Convention]]<br />
<br />
For a Charter, The Federated States of America Congress decided to hold off on an official governing document, and instead chose to use an interpreted version of the Constitution of the United States of America, with a Bill of Rights reformed to the original amendments. The First Convention deemed the idea of a Declaration of Independence unnecessary, especially "Considering the upcoming Presidential Elections in the United States of America, official separation seems like an unwise move at this time." It was also considered making communications with the United States, however that was also deemed unnecessary.<br />
<br />
Around September 23rd, an aggressive simulation micronation known as the USSR, claiming to have absolute right to the entire European Continent, as well as the entire nation of Russia. The Federated States of America, in fear of their national security, attempted to extend a formal olive branch to the USSR, however the USSR denied the claim that they had no effective control over the lands that they claimed. The USSR also made threats against the Federated States of America and its people, and on September 23, 2014, the FSA-USSR War began. Using unique tactics, traditional commander-in-chief, The President, called upon the army, which was not yet formed, and prepared for war. The Declaration of War against the USSR by The President of the Federated States of America ordered on September 23rd brought upon a 1-hour long battle known as the Battle of Spring Hill, in which the Federated States Army, led by the Commander-in-chief, marched upon outnumbered USSR soldiers and attacked, barraging the enemy. Within the hour the war was over, and the USSR surrendered to American soldiers.<br />
<br />
By September 29th, the USSR surrendered its entire army to the force of the Federated States of America. Terms of surrender were that the USSR would cease hostile threats, as well as give up its entire claim of land. The latter demand was not accepted by the USSR. The President then stated, "Please, friends, I promise to every single man and women here today that the USSR will fall by the end of this convention. Later that day, the USSR collapsed with no final words, and a weak army. With that action, the First Convention was declared adjourned.<br />
<br />
=== The Second Convention & The Progressive Movement (December 8 - December 18) ===<br />
<br />
Following the Congressional recess, the President of the Federated States of America called the Congress forward to a Second Convention, hoping to advance the success of the Federation even more than in the previous convention. It wasn't until the day following that Congress joined together once again, on the date generally recognized as December 8, 2014. It seemed, by the first day in the Second Convention, that something had changed within the minds of Congress. However, it wouldn't be until December 10 that the times in the Federated States hit an all-time low, which, for a micronation still attempting to establish itself, was not the best possible outcome of the new convention.<br />
<br />
On December 10, while an informal convention of Congress was in session, what is known as the "Climax of the Federation's Progressive Movement" began. What has come to be known as the Wunderlich Revolt began on that cold, dry afternoon. It was a force for change in the Federation government, which is known now as the "Federalist Interpretation of Fascism", in which many bills were passed by an aristocratic congress calling for a new government, and a transition from the former Federated States of America to the State of New Spain, led by an authoritarian president and an aristocratic ministry. Fortunately, the documents outlining the many reforms were lost during the plot to side with Russia in the many conflicts involving Ukraine, and, as a result, by the next week, most details on the idea were lost, however some information is still publicly known. For one, the President would become more authoritarian, the government turned almost completely fascist, and the Congress reformed into an aristocracy of ministers. Although no one spoke out against it, it is generally recognized that the public did not support the reforms.<br />
[[File:4195074.gif|200px|thumb|right|Flag of the Second Convention and State of New Spain]]<br />
After the reform project, the Progressive Movement slowly died, falling into nothing as the nation continued on with its attempts to calm the recent reforms and recover and stabilize to the position in which it was before the Second Convention, generally recognized as a failure. However, although the convention was largely a fiasco, it has long been recognized that it is possible that, at least at the time, more bills, as well as overall more action, occurred in Congress during the Second Convention than any other period since the first founding of the Federation. Therefore, the remainder of the Second Convention was spent retrieving what was lost by the Revolt. The Convention, never officially adjourned, died around December 18. The ending effects of the Second Convention included the fold of the Federalist Party, and the Progressive Party replacing the Federalists.<br />
<br />
=== The Third Convention (April 20 - May 1) ===<br />
<br />
The end of the Progressive era, as well as the Second Convention and the State of New Spain, had occurred over 4 months ago. The longest idle in the history of the Federated States of America had occurred, and people had begun to grow restless for a new convention to move on from the Second Convention of the prior December. After exchanging words, the President and Vice President saw it fit to call Congress once again, and they both agreed the new convention had potential superior to either of the first two. This discussion occurred over the weekend of April 18 and April 19, and on April 20, Congress was finally called to meet for a convention. The Third Convention, it was agreed and executed, to focus primarily on diplomacy. For the first time, the Federated States of America received recognition, as well as offered recognition. It also saw the grand opening of the website, the establishment of future goals, and preparations for the Federation's Charter. The Third Convention almost passed the second convention for bills passed, and saw multiple positive reforms. It witnessed the first citizenship application as well. <br />
<br />
Since the Second Convention as well as the Progressive era, the major political party and the only official one in the government, the Federalist Party, folded, leaving no political parties. During the beginning of the Third Convention, many people, including the President, categorized themselves under the Progressive Party, although it never became officially or federally recognized. At this time, because most bills were regarding foreign affairs, there was not very much going on politically during the Third Convention, and thus, political parties were not really needed. However, towards the end of the Third Convention, two parties began to rise, the former Federalist Party and the President's Know Nothing Party, unaffiliated to the Know Nothing Party of the United States of America during the 1800's.\<br />
<br />
Likely the most important event during the Third Convention were the beginning stages of the Charter of the Federated States of America, the second Constitution of the nation, which accounted for several reforms. Other important reforms and bills passed were budgets, income plans, opening of trade routes, and many more which made this convention crucial to the welfare of the nation.<br />

The '''Federated States of America''' is a semi-independent entity located on the continent of North America in the Great Plains and Mid-West regions. It was founded as a micronation known as the '''Republic of Concord''' somewhere between August 2nd, 2014 and August 5th, but the generally recognized date, known as Founder's Day, is celebrated on August 3rd. 2015, and has been declared a National Holiday. The Federated States of America's Congress has existed in five incarnations, known as Conventions, between August 2014 and the present day. Technically, a convention existed from Founder's Day until the First Convention, however that was a convention of its smaller predecessor, the Republic of Concord, and is therefore not considered a Federated State's convention. Conventions 1-3 were named by the numbering system (i.e. First Convention), however following the Third Convention the sessions began to be given exclusive names.<br />

The '''Federated States of America''' is a semi-independent entity located on the continent of North America in the Great Plains and Mid-West regions. It was founded as a micronation known as the '''Republic of Concord''' somewhere between August 2nd, 2014 and August 5th, but the generally recognized date, known as Founder's Day, is celebrated on August 3rd. 2015, and has been declared a National Holiday. The Federated States of America's Congress has existed in five incarnations, known as Conventions, between August 2014 and the present day. Technically, a convention existed from Founder's Day until the First Convention, however that was a convention of its smaller predecessor, the Republic of Concord, and is therefore not considered a Federated State's convention. Conventions 1-3 were named by the numbering system (i.e. First Convention), however following the Third Convention the sessions began to be given exclusive names.<br />
<br />
<br />
The First Convention is generally recognized to have occurred between September 8th and September 29th of 2014. The original convention determined the government structure to be one identical to that of the United States of America, however immediately changes began to be made. The First Convention was openly considered to create a Provisional Government of the states. A major bill passed by the Federated States was to have a multi-party system. Another created the governors of each state become the sole representative of their state in Congress. The final major event during the First Convention was the open war with a nation considering itself the USSR, and claiming a massive section of land comprising of all Europe and Russia. The war ended with a Federation victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Second Convention was held in December, 2014. It witnessed an important bill that ratified a interpreted version of the United States Constitution as the constitution of the Federated States of America, however this in itself has been interpreted as a bill ratifying a provisional constitution until a more stable governing document might be written, which would later happen. During this convention, it was also resolved unanimously in Congress to cede the Federation states of New Mexico and Colorado back to the United States of America, its American counterpart and technically its federal representation. It was during this time that the first public actions of the Federated States of America began.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Third Convention of the Federated States of America, occurring from April 28th to May 1st of 2015, has been possibly the most significant gathering of Federation delegates since the very first. It has seen some of the most important bills in the history of the Federated States. An influential action was the appointment of a Secretary of State. However, a large action during this convention was finally becoming public. The nation became involved in the community, recognized nations, got recognized, developed an economy, developed a ten year plan, and most importantly, established the first official constitution of the Federated States of America, the Articles of Federation and Perpetual Union, creating a permanent government led by Progressive ideals. It was at this convention the words, "Sapientia, Moderatione et Iustitia" were first mentioned, becoming the motto and backbone of the movement.<br />
<br />
The Constitutional Convention, from May 2 to May 12 of 2015, was the one that was originally tasked with the creation of the Charter of the Federated States of America, however following the Vicegate incident, in which the Vice President was caught attempting to take action in a violent overthrow of the President, who immediately took action. Although the Congress wanted to put the Vice President on trial, the President claimed that it was legal considering he hadn't taken any violent action as of yet. Thus, the President granted the Vice a full pardon, however requested the Vice President resign and become only a Councilman and a Senator, rather than be an Executive. Following this action, as well a as a failed movement at creating a monarchy, the President declared the Constitution Convention adjourned, and promised a new deal for the people to help them get out of the "Federation's Great Depression."<br />

== History ==<br />
=== Republic of Concord (August 3 - September 8) ===<br />
<br />
The Republic of Concord was founded on August 3rd in a home known today as both the Republic of Concord Historical Site as well as the Federal Hall, the Capitol Building of the Federation. The Republic was founded on the idea of a small-government and a right wing state led by the people. It, however, was not secessionist, and in fact far from it, being inspired by the idea of a simulationist micronation.<br />
old <br />
As it was the reigning micronational power in the area at that time, it expanded its territory to engulf the entire Gulf Coast. It was still a quiet, non-recognized micronation, so nobody was able to contest the claim. In turn the Republic of Concord, with an official population of 1 citizen, was able to carry out on a whim whatsoever they desired. One significant action the Republic took, was the creation of a Concordian Factbook. There was also a brief attempt at printing currency, albeit a failure.. By September, the Republic of Concord had fallen into a state of inactivity. A meeting was then called upon with some non-aligned people, who soon after applied for citizenship in the Republic. As expected, these people were soon brought into the government, which it was then agreed should be altered greatly.<br />
<br />
=== The First Convention (September 8 - September 28) === <br />
<br />
Immediately after, it was decided to expand the Republic of Concord, and it was also determined that a new name should be assumed. It was decided that the Federated States of America would fit the task to their liking. Soon after, the Federated States rapidly extended their original land claim to encompass the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, and Illinois. The newly formed Federation Congress was led by a figure then known as the Head of State, and who was also considered to be the Provisional Governor for all states not yet under official representation. By September 10, a new federal government and state governments were officially declared. However, the nation was still publicly unrecognized, an issue delayed by the First Convention. This first convention also unofficially sided with Israel in the Israel-Palestine conflict.<br />
<br />

<br />
For a Charter, The Federated States of America Congress decided to hold off on an official governing document, and instead chose to use an interpreted version of the Constitution of the United States of America, with a Bill of Rights reformed to the original amendments. The First Convention deemed the idea of a Declaration of Independence unnecessary, especially "Considering the upcoming Presidential Elections in the United States of America, official separation seems like an unwise move at this time." It was also considered making communications with the United States, however that was also deemed unnecessary.<br />
<br />
Around September 23rd, an aggressive simulation micronation known as the USSR, claiming to have absolute right to the entire European Continent, as well as the entire nation of Russia. The Federated States of America, in fear of their national security, attempted to extend a formal olive branch to the USSR, however the USSR denied the claim that they had no effective control over the lands that they claimed. The USSR also made threats against the Federated States of America and its people, and on September 23, 2014, the FSA-USSR War began. Using unique tactics, traditional commander-in-chief, The President, called upon the army, which was not yet formed, and prepared for war. The Declaration of War against the USSR by The President of the Federated States of America ordered on September 23rd brought upon a 1-hour long battle known as the Battle of Spring Hill, in which the Federated States Army, led by the Commander-in-chief, marched upon outnumbered USSR soldiers and attacked, barraging the enemy. Within the hour the war was over, and the USSR surrendered to American soldiers.<br />
<br />
By September 29th, the USSR surrendered its entire army to the force of the Federated States of America. Terms of surrender were that the USSR would cease hostile threats, as well as give up its entire claim of land. The latter demand was not accepted by the USSR. The President then stated, "Please, friends, I promise to every single man and women here today that the USSR will fall by the end of this convention. Later that day, the USSR collapsed with no final words, and a weak army. With that action, the First Convention was declared adjourned.<br />
<br />
=== The Second Convention & The Progressive Movement (December 8 - December 18) ===<br />
<br />
Following the Congressional recess, the President of the Federated States of America called the Congress forward to a Second Convention, hoping to advance the success of the Federation even more than in the previous convention. It wasn't until the day following that Congress joined together once again, on the date generally recognized as December 8, 2014. It seemed, by the first day in the Second Convention, that something had changed within the minds of Congress. However, it wouldn't be until December 10 that the times in the Federated States hit an all-time low, which, for a micronation still attempting to establish itself, was not the best possible outcome of the new convention.<br />
<br />
On December 10, while an informal convention of Congress was in session, what is known as the "Climax of the Federation's Progressive Movement" began. What has come to be known as the Wunderlich Revolt began on that cold, dry afternoon. It was a force for change in the Federation government, which is known now as the "Federalist Interpretation of Fascism", in which many bills were passed by an aristocratic congress calling for a new government, and a transition from the former Federated States of America to the State of New Spain, led by an authoritarian president and an aristocratic ministry. Fortunately, the documents outlining the many reforms were lost during the plot to side with Russia in the many conflicts involving Ukraine, and, as a result, by the next week, most details on the idea were lost, however some information is still publicly known. For one, the President would become more authoritarian, the government turned almost completely fascist, and the Congress reformed into an aristocracy of ministers. Although no one spoke out against it, it is generally recognized that the public did not support the reforms.<br />
[[File:4195074.gif|200px|thumb|right|Flag of the Second Convention and State of New Spain]]<br />
After the reform project, the Progressive Movement slowly died, falling into nothing as the nation continued on with its attempts to calm the recent reforms and recover and stabilize to the position in which it was before the Second Convention, generally recognized as a failure. However, although the convention was largely a fiasco, it has long been recognized that it is possible that, at least at the time, more bills, as well as overall more action, occurred in Congress during the Second Convention than any other period since the first founding of the Federation. Therefore, the remainder of the Second Convention was spent retrieving what was lost by the Revolt. The Convention, never officially adjourned, died around December 18. The ending effects of the Second Convention included the fold of the Federalist Party, and the Progressive Party replacing the Federalists.<br />
<br />
=== The Third Convention (April 20 - May 1) ===<br />
<br />
The end of the Progressive era, as well as the Second Convention and the State of New Spain, had occurred over 4 months ago. The longest idle in the history of the Federated States of America had occurred, and people had begun to grow restless for a new convention to move on from the Second Convention of the prior December. After exchanging words, the President and Vice President saw it fit to call Congress once again, and they both agreed the new convention had potential superior to either of the first two. This discussion occurred over the weekend of April 18 and April 19, and on April 20, Congress was finally called to meet for a convention. The Third Convention, it was agreed and executed, to focus primarily on diplomacy. For the first time, the Federated States of America received recognition, as well as offered recognition. It also saw the grand opening of the website, the establishment of future goals, and preparations for the Federation's Charter. The Third Convention almost passed the second convention for bills passed, and saw multiple positive reforms. It witnessed the first citizenship application as well. <br />
<br />
Since the Second Convention as well as the Progressive era, the major political party and the only official one in the government, the Federalist Party, folded, leaving no political parties. During the beginning of the Third Convention, many people, including the President, categorized themselves under the Progressive Party, although it never became officially or federally recognized. At this time, because most bills were regarding foreign affairs, there was not very much going on politically during the Third Convention, and thus, political parties were not really needed. However, towards the end of the Third Convention, two parties began to rise, the former Federalist Party and the President's Know Nothing Party, unaffiliated to the Know Nothing Party of the United States of America during the 1800's.\<br />
<br />
Likely the most important event during the Third Convention were the beginning stages of the Charter of the Federated States of America, the second Constitution of the nation, which accounted for several reforms. Other important reforms and bills passed were budgets, income plans, opening of trade routes, and many more which made this convention crucial to the welfare of the nation.<br />
