Ottawa, also known as the Commonwealth of Ottawa, is a self-proclaimed sovereign state, known to external observers as a micronation surrounded by the US State of Ohio. The nation was established on 18 November 2021. The Commonwealth currently has 6 military divisions: the Air Force, the Snow Force, the Army, the Navy, Specials Forces, and the King's Guard. The Commonwealth is a peaceful nation and will only go to war if victory is assured.
Politics
The Commonwealth of Ottawa is an elective monarchy, where the parliament, known as the Aristocrat Parliament, elects the king, who has all power, whereas the parliament is voted in by the people. The current King is known simply as Kanada I. There are multiple parties in the Commonwealth. The socialist Ottawa party, usually left-leaning, wanting the limitation of gun ownage, and wanting to nationalize multiple industries. The nationalist party, a far-right party who want to keep the ownage of guns, and military expansion and conquest. The libertarian party, a center party which is usually for capitalism-enriching policies. The green party, also near the center of the spectrum, is for protection of the environment. The republican party is the main party in the nation, a moderate right who are for gun protection, is pro-life, and want to strengthen the Commonwealth. King Kanada and parliament are part of this party. The conservative party, at the center, is monarchist leaning and wants to keep the current order. And, finally, the Marxist party, being on the far-left of the spectrum, is for the nationalization of all industries, is for the economic policy of socialism, and is communist.

National Anthem
The anthem of the Commonwealth of Ottawa is the American Patriotic Hymn “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” It is a classic Civil War song, written by Julia Ward Howe in the 19th Century. The lyrics are, as follows:
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword: His truth is marching on.
(Chorus) Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps, They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps; I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps: His day is marching on.
(Chorus) Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on.
I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel: "As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal"; Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel, Since God is marching on.
(Chorus) Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on.
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat; He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat; Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! Be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on.
(Chorus) Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Our God is marching on.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me. As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free, While God is marching on.
(Chorus) Glory, glory, hallelujah!(Hallelujah!) Glory, glory, hallelujah!(Hallelujah!) Glory, glory, hallelujah!(Hallelujah!)
Our God is marching on.(Glory, glory, Halle-)
