Wairoa, officially the State of Wairoa is the northern most union state of the Arstotzkan Union. Wairoa is the political and administrative union of the Socium Aquilonis Territory, Vici Aquilonis Territory and Tsentral'naya Territories. It is the second largest state by size but one of the smallest by the area it encompasses.
Wairoa is the union of territories located in the New Zealand regions of Northland and Auckland and borders the states of Rangitaiki and Hōrana. The state is known for its rich geography and vast agricultural expanses. With the Vici Aquilonis Territory being the main hub of agricultural production in the state as it has very well kept industrial farms. This is in contrast to the more urban environment of the Tsentral'naya and Socium Aquilonis Territories, located in Auckland.
History
Wairoa was created as a state on 11 January 2023 with the passing of the Land and Territories Act 2023. It originally was called the Northern Arstotzkan State.
Several months later with Soviet Day approaching, First President Ethan Brinkman decided to rename the states with more Māori names and similar to Rangitaiki, Wairoa was named after the longest river in its region.
In 2024, two territories were removed from the Union. In their place the Arstotzkan Federal Government formed the Vici Aquilonis and Socium Aquilonis Territories. These two territories were the first to bear Latin names.
Government
Wairoa is administered by the State Council of Wairoa, which is located in the Socium Aquilonis Territory. Liam Huxley who is the territory commander of the Tsentral'naya Territory was elected as the State Representative in January and has continued to become the Council Chairman following the recent reforms.
Military
The Northern Naval Operations Centre of the People's Armed Forces Naval Base: Aquilonis is the local military base located in the state. It is home to the 21st Shore Defense Squadron of the 2nd Naval Fleet of the Arstotzkan Naval Corps. The duty of the squadron is to "protect and monitor naval activities in the Bay of Islands that may pose a national security threat to the Arstotzkan Union or New Zealand, as well as to aid in civil response and defence in the event of a natural disaster or severe weather event".
A new major military base, known as Fort Auckland has been proposed to be created in the Socium territory.

The Arstotzkan Federal Highway and Transport Authority oversees several highways in Wairoa.
