Grand Federation of Novist

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Grand Federation of Novist (GFN), commonly known as the Novistian Federation or The Federation, is a country primarily located in North Atlantea. It is a Federal Union of 44 Federates, 3 Areas and Hollister, H.R as its federal capital district. The 43 contiguous federates border Karlia to the northeast, Kjerstadia to the east, Nira to the southeast, Argysa to the southeast, Helion to the south, Kytion to the south and Henaira to the southwest, with the archipelagic federate of Thres in the Vesperian Ocean. The Federation also asserts sovereignty over 3 major island territories, various inhabited islands, a mandate and the United Islands of Angria (Anguria Rengō Shotō). It is a megadiverse country, with the world’s largest country and the world’s most populous country, with a population of 6,035,437,680. The country also has the world’s largest sovereign maritime domain. Its three largest metropolitan areas are New Arcadia, Presidia and Pinecrest, and its three most populous federates are Typexand, Barren, and Bosland.

The early history of the Grand Federation of Novist traces back to the indigenous civilizations that flourished across the land for thousands of years before the arrival of foreign powers. These civilizations developed complex societies, thriving economies,   and advanced knowledge in various fields such as agriculture, architecture, and astronomy.

The arrival of Rocquaranian explorers marked the beginning of colonial rule, as the empire sought to exploit Novist’s vast resources and strategic position. By the late 16th century, the region was firmly under Rocquaranian control, with settlers establishing trade hubs and administrative centers. However, economic and resource exploitation, heavy taxation, and restrictive policies led to growing unrest among the Novistian population.

The 17th century saw a series of resistance movements that culminated in the formal declaration of independence on June 10, 1679. What followed was a protracted and grueling struggle against the empire, with the conflict escalating into a full-scale war by 1689. After nearly two decades of fierce fighting and a daring move by crossing the Vesperian Ocean to invade the Empire, Novistian forces secured a decisive victory, forcing the Rocquaranian Empire to surrender on February 9, 1707.

With independence won, efforts to unify the newly liberated territories began. The Confederation of Novist was officially established in 1711, bringing together various states under a single banner while allowing for regional autonomy. Full international recognition came in 1714, solidifying Novist’s status as an independent entity. The adoption of the Constitution in 1723 laid the foundation for a centralized federal government, marking the beginning of the modern Grand Federation of Novist

Following its hard-fought independence from the Rocquaranian Empire, the Grand Federation of Novist expanded rapidly, consolidating its power and influence across the continent. With immense natural resources, rapid technological advancements, and a booming population, Novist became an economic and military colossus. However, internal divisions soon arose, culminating in a brutal secessionist civil war in the mid-19th century. Breakaway states sought to forge their own path, leading to a devastating conflict that saw Novistian forces engaged in years of attritional warfare. The war ended in a hard-fought victory for the Federation, preserving national unity and abolishing the oppressive systems that had fueled regional discord. Though the wounds of war ran deep, Novist emerged more determined than ever to secure its place in the world.

By the early 20th century, Novist had ascended to the rank of global hyperpower, shaping the course of history through its economic might and military dominance. The Second World War—a cataclysmic conflict that lasted for three grueling decades—put that dominance to the test. Novist spearheaded the fight against the expansionist ultraconservative and ultranationalist regimes of Ihia, Viras, Oshia and Athernia, ultimately leading to their defeat. But in 1946, Novist faced the ultimate betrayal.

In a calculated and treacherous move, Novist’s former allies—nations it had fought alongside—launched a surprise invasion. Motivated by fear, resentment, and a desire to curb Novist’s overwhelming influence, they struck with overwhelming force. With coordinated attacks on multiple fronts, Novistian forces found themselves in retreat, their defenses overwhelmed by the sheer ferocity of the onslaught. Entire cities fell, supply lines collapsed, and Novist was being pushed back at a staggering rate.

Faced with imminent disaster, President James K. Wainwright made the most controversial decision in Novistian history. With no other options remaining, he ordered the launch of 16 nuclear warheads against the advancing enemy forces near the border of the Union of Rozhian Socialist Republics. The result was apocalyptic.

The detonations did more than annihilate the enemy forces—they transformed the very land itself. Entire divisions were erased in blinding flashes of white, their remains vaporized before they could even register what had happened. Shockwaves flattened forests and cities alike, while the intense heat turned the ground into a molten, irradiated wasteland. What was once a battlefield became an impenetrable nuclear wall—an untraversable, death-laden expanse where radiation blanketed the ruins like a toxic shroud. It was no longer just a military maneuver; it was an act that scarred the planet itself.

The world recoiled in horror. Even Novist’s enemies, ruthless as they were, had not anticipated such an outcome. Their invasion had been stopped—not by conventional warfare, but by an unlivable no-man’s land that no army could cross. The shock forced them to the negotiating table, realizing that continued war with Novist would lead only to further devastation. They sued for peace, their ambitions shattered in the radioactive wasteland of their own making.

At home, the political backlash was just as severe. The war-weary public, already exhausted from two decades of bloodshed, erupted in outrage. Protests flooded the streets, condemning Wainwright’s decision as reckless and inhumane. The international community, too, turned against Novist, branding it a pariah state. Under immense pressure, Wainwright resigned in disgrace, leaving the fractured nation in the hands of his successor, Everett Blackwood.

Blackwood’s presidency was defined by damage control. Forced to negotiate under hostile conditions, he signed a peace treaty that sought to weaken Novist’s influence. Yet despite its punitive terms, the Federation’s resilience ensured that it would not be so easily broken. While the treaty marked the official end of the war, it did not bring true peace. Instead, it ushered in a new era of global tension—the Cold War had begun.

With the signing of the peace deal, the world split into two opposing blocs. On one side stood Novist and its allies, determined to maintain their dominance and prevent any future betrayals. On the other stood an imposing coalition of rival powers, including the Union of Rozhian Socialist Republics (URSR), the Socialist Union of Holkes, the Noran Socialist Republic, the People’s Republic of Fornoneria, the People’s Republic of Viras, the People’s Republic of Etenia, the People’s Republic of Turyn, the People’s Republic of Oshia, the Council of Hajvahotur, the Kingdom of Servia, the Rocquaranian Empire, and the Kingdom of Delekia.

The battle lines were drawn—not on traditional battlefields, but in the shadows of diplomacy, espionage, and proxy wars. Novist found itself locked in a relentless struggle for ideological and strategic dominance. The betrayal of 1946 had taught the Federation a brutal lesson: it could never again trust the international order. But the turmoil was not yet over. 

By 1972, Novist faced another existential crisis—this time from within. Under the corrupt and tyrannical rule of President Donald R. Hardwick, the nation descended into authoritarianism. Civil liberties were stripped away, the economy stagnated, and dissent was crushed under the boot of a leader more concerned with personal power than the prosperity of his people. Hardwick ruled with an iron grip, surrounding himself with loyalists and suppressing opposition through force.

But the people had enough. What began as protests soon escalated into an all-out civil war. Armed resistance groups, defecting military units, and enraged civilians took up arms, transforming Novistian cities into war zones. The Federation’s own armed forces fractured, with high-ranking officers turning against Hardwick’s regime. The fighting was fierce, but swift—the people of Novist refused to be ruled by a tyrant.

In the final days of the conflict, Hardwick’s support collapsed. His closest allies abandoned him, and his desperate attempts to flee were thwarted. In a last-ditch effort to cling to power, he barricaded himself within the capital, but it was too late. The rebellion stormed his stronghold, and the ensuing battle left much of the capital in ruins. Hardwick and his corrupt officials were captured, tried, and swiftly sentenced to death, ensuring that their reign of terror would never be repeated.

The nation turned to a new leader—Jayden E. Kennedy. Chosen to lead the reconstruction, Kennedy focused on rebuilding trust, stabilizing the government, and reaffirming Novist’s role as a hyperpower. Under his leadership, the Federation reasserted itself on the world stage, ensuring that the betrayals and injustices of the past would not define its future.

By 1980, the Cold War had fully entrenched itself. The world stood on the brink, with Novist and its enemies locked in a relentless struggle. The scars of the past had not yet healed, and tensions simmered beneath the surface, threatening to erupt into conflict once more.

The Grand Federation of Novist is a presidential constitutional federal republic and a dominant-party democracy with three separate branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. Its bicameral national legislature, the Federal Assembly, is composed of the House of the Republic, a lower house based on population, and the Council of the Republic, an upper house representing each federate. 

The country's National-Progressive Party and Democratic-Republican Party have dominated Novistian politics for decades. Federalism grants substantial autonomy to the federates, while Novistian values are rooted in a progressive nationalist tradition that emphasizes technological advancement, social equity, and a strong centralized government. 

One of the world's most advanced and influential nations, The Federation ranks among the highest in economic competitiveness, productivity, innovation, technological development, and higher education. By the 1980s, Novist accounted for a dominant share of global economic output, with its economy surpassing all others in nominal GDP due to its vast resource wealth and advanced industrial base. It possesses one of the highest standards of living globally, with strong economic equity driven by its Integrated Federal Market System (IFMS).

Novist is a leading member of multiple international organizations, including the International Financial Stability Organization (IFSO), which coordinates global trade and financial policies; the International Technological Advancement Organization (ITAO), which drives research and innovation in fields like AI, space, and biotechnology; the Organization of Free Democracies  (OFD), a powerful military alliance ensuring collective security and deterrence; and the Intercontinental Trade and Development Pact (ITDP), which fosters economic cooperation and infrastructure development across aligned nations.

 

Etymology

The term "Novist" first emerged in a private letter dated May 15, 1678, penned by revolutionary leader Casimir Lorus from the nascent capital of Novara (now known as Hollister). In his correspondence, Lorus referred to the struggle for freedom as “the birth of a new people—a Novist rising against the old order.” This early usage underscored a profound break from centuries of Rocquaranian domination and signified the promise of renewal and self-determination.

Scholars trace the name “Novist” to the Latin word novus, meaning “new.” This etymological root was deliberately chosen to symbolize the revolutionary ideals of progress and transformation that defined the fledgling nation. The term gained further prominence when it was adopted in the Declaration of Independence on June 10, 1679, and featured prominently in subsequent treatises and founding documents that outlined the vision of a unified, forward-looking federation.

Over time, “Novist” evolved into a core element of national identity. The terms “Novistian Federation” and simply “The Federation” became established descriptors for the sovereign state, while the initialism “GFN” (denoting the Grand Federation of Novist) emerged in official communications during the early 18th century. Today, the name encapsulates not only the historical struggle for independence but also the enduring commitment to innovation, unity, and the pursuit of a just and progressive society.

History

Indigenous Peoples

Long before the rise of the Rocquaranian Empire, the land that would become Novist was home to diverse and sophisticated indigenous cultures. These native societies developed over millennia, establishing intricate social structures, rich spiritual traditions, and advanced practices in agriculture, astronomy, and art. Among the most prominent were the Alerin, Savanir, and Tulari peoples.

  • The Alerin were renowned for their profound understanding of celestial movements, which they integrated into complex calendrical systems and monumental architectural designs. Their legacy can be seen in the enduring megalithic structures scattered across the high plains, which continue to inspire both scholarly study and local folklore.
  • Equally celebrated were the Savanir, whose artistic prowess manifested in vibrant textiles, pottery, and intricate carvings. Their creative expressions not only reflected a deep connection with nature but also chronicled the histories and myths of their people, preserving knowledge through generations in the face of external pressures.
  • The Tulari, inhabitants of the fertile river valleys, were pioneers in sustainable agriculture and water management. Their innovations allowed for the cultivation of abundant harvests, which supported the growth of densely populated settlements and intricate trade networks long before external powers arrived.

The arrival of the Rocquaranian Empire and subsequent waves of colonization brought profound challenges to these indigenous communities. Forced assimilation, displacement, and cultural suppression disrupted traditional ways of life. However, despite centuries of upheaval and marginalization, indigenous cultures have endured. Over time, their traditions and practices have interwoven with the broader Novistian culture, contributing to the nation’s diverse heritage in art, music, language, and philosophy.

In modern Novist, indigenous peoples continue to play a vital role. They are active in cultural preservation initiatives and engage robustly in the political, social, and economic arenas. Efforts by both government and grassroots organizations aim to restore and celebrate the legacy of these ancient peoples, ensuring that their contributions remain a cornerstone of Novist’s national identity. The resilience of the indigenous cultures of Novist stands as a testament to their enduring legacy, echoing the spirit of renewal and progress that defines the Federation.

Rocquaranian Exploration, Colonization, and Conflict (1532–1679)

The first recorded Rocquaranian expeditions to the continent that would become the Grand Federation of Novist began in the early 16th century, driven by the empire’s thirst for resources, trade dominance, and territorial expansion. By 1532, Rocquaranian explorers had established the first permanent outposts along the western coasts, laying the groundwork for what would become vast colonial holdings. These early settlements, while small, quickly expanded as waves of settlers, merchants, and soldiers arrived, displacing and often warring with the indigenous civilizations that had long thrived in the region.

Throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, the Rocquaranian Empire solidified its control through military conquest, strategic alliances with native factions, and the establishment of vast plantations and trading hubs. The empire’s economic model depended on the forced labor of both indigenous populations and enslaved peoples brought from distant lands, fueling an era of unprecedented wealth for the Rocquaranian aristocracy. However, this expansion was not without resistance. Indigenous uprisings, pirate incursions, and rival colonial ambitions led to constant conflict, forcing the empire to maintain a heavy military presence.

By the mid-17th century, the colonies had grown into a crucial component of Rocquarania’s global influence. However, economic exploitation, heavy taxation, and increasing restrictions on colonial self-governance fueled growing resentment among settlers. As tensions simmered beneath the surface, the seeds of revolution were being sown. This culminated in the formal declaration of independence on June 10, 1679, igniting the war that would eventually lead to the birth of Novist.

The Early Republic, Northward Expansion, and the Civil War (1723–1865)

The Early Republic (1723–1790s)

Following the ratification of the Novistian Constitution in 1723, the newly formed federation faced the immediate challenge of unifying its diverse territories under a functional government. The first Federal Assembly convened in 1724, setting the groundwork for national governance. The establishment of a central treasury, judicial system, and national security apparatus defined the first decades of the republic. Economic recovery efforts focused on stabilizing currency, encouraging trade, and managing the transition from wartime mobilization to peacetime industry.

Presidents Isaac Halden and Edmund Varnholt played key roles in shaping the early government, emphasizing infrastructure development and federal authority. Despite efforts to balance regional autonomy, tensions emerged between the industrializing west, which sought economic expansion, and the agrarian east, which remained reliant on traditional land ownership and forced labor practices. The western regions, rich in coal and iron, rapidly developed into the nation’s industrial core, spurred by federal investment and growing urban centers. By the late 18th century, Novist was experiencing the early stages of its industrial revolution, centered in western cities that became hubs of manufacturing and commerce.

Northward Expansion (1790s–1840s)

As the western regions industrialized, federal efforts turned northward to secure strategic resources and expand territorial control. Early expeditions in the 1790s mapped the northern frontiers, revealing vast mineral reserves and fertile land. Settlement programs, backed by federal land grants, encouraged migration, leading to the establishment of new towns and economic centers. The discovery of iron and coal deposits in the early 1800s accelerated industrial expansion, with railways and roads connecting northern outposts to the economic heartland.

However, the expansion faced significant resistance from indigenous nations that had long inhabited the region. The Northern Wars (1812–1834) saw prolonged conflict between federal forces and indigenous coalitions, culminating in the forced displacement of numerous native groups. The Battle of Aulder Pass in 1817 marked one of the first major confrontations, while the siege of Blackpine in 1834 effectively ended large-scale resistance. The Federal Indigenous Displacement Act of 1836 formalized policies of forced relocation, clearing the way for full-scale industrial development in the region.

By the 1840s, northern Novist had been fully integrated into the federation’s economic framework. The Ironcrest Railroad, completed in 1842, facilitated the transport of raw materials to western industrial centers, fueling further economic growth. However, the rapid expansion and growing economic power of the north and west exacerbated existing tensions with the eastern states, where political elites viewed federal policies as threats to their economic and social structures.

The Civil War (1848–1865)

The growing divide between industrialized, federalist-aligned regions and the agrarian east came to a head in the mid-19th century. Discontent in the east had been brewing for decades, driven by opposition to increasing federal authority, economic policies favoring industrialization, and the growing abolitionist movement in the west and north. The eastern states, heavily reliant on forced labor and traditional landowning structures, viewed federal interference as an existential threat to their economic model and political influence.

The crisis escalated in 1848 with the Keswick Speech, delivered by reformist leader Jonathan Vexley, which called for the abolition of slavery and greater federal control over state economies. The subsequent passage of the National Reform Act in 1850 imposed restrictions on slaveholding states, leading to widespread protests and declarations of resistance. In 1851, eleven eastern federates formally announced their secession, forming the Eastern Coalition in open defiance of the federal government.

The Novistian Civil War officially began in 1852, with both sides rapidly mobilizing their forces. The early years of the conflict saw large-scale battles along the industrial corridors of the west and the contested borderlands between federal and separatist forces. The Battle of Redridge in 1854 resulted in heavy casualties on both sides, setting the stage for a prolonged and bloody conflict. The war took a decisive turn in 1856 with the launch of the Northern Offensive, led by General Alexander Holt, which sought to cut off the Eastern Coalition’s supply lines and industrial capabilities.

 Eastern Coalition

 

As the war dragged on, the eastern states faced mounting economic and logistical challenges. The Siege of Graymont in 1860 marked a critical turning point, as federal forces captured one of the coalition’s key industrial centers. By 1863, eastern armies were in retreat, suffering from supply shortages and increasing internal dissent. The war reached its climax with the Storming of Whitecliff in 1865, where federal troops overran the last major stronghold of the separatists, effectively ending the conflict.

With the rebellion crushed, the federal government implemented sweeping reconstruction policies aimed at reintegrating the eastern states into the federation. The Federal Reintegration Act of 1866 abolished slavery in all territories, mandated federal oversight in former rebel states, and established programs to modernize the devastated eastern economy. The National Industrialization Program of 1867 provided funding for rebuilding war-torn regions, while the Equal Rights Proclamation of 1870 granted full citizenship to former slaves.

The aftermath of the war saw the consolidation of federal power and the continued rise of industrial capitalism. The east, once dominant in Novistian politics, was forced to adapt to a rapidly modernizing economy, while the west and north solidified their status as economic and political centers of the federation. Though the war had secured federal authority and ended slavery, the deep political and social divisions it created would persist for decades, shaping the trajectory of Novist’s development in the years to come.

Post-Civil War and the First World War (1865–1894)

The aftermath of the Novistian Civil War left the nation deeply divided, but also set the stage for rapid industrial and military modernization. The victorious federal government implemented the Reconstruction Acts, aimed at reintegrating the eastern federates, dismantling the remnants of the slave economy, and ensuring the stability of the federation. However, resistance from former secessionist elites and economic struggles in the agrarian east led to continued tensions. The western industrial states, already dominant before the war, surged even further ahead, solidifying their position as the economic and technological center of Novist.

During the late 19th century, Novist expanded its influence beyond its borders. The completion of nationwide rail networks in the 1870s fueled economic growth, while advances in military technology positioned Novist as an emerging global power. However, this period of internal stabilization coincided with increasing international instability.

The First World War (1882–1894)

By the early 1880s, tensions between the Iolicosian Federation (now known as the United States of Iolicosia) and the Republic of Argysa, both governed by stratocratic regimes, reached a breaking point. Border disputes, aggressive expansionism, and long-standing rivalries erupted into full-scale war in 1882. The Rapsian Commonwealth, a major power with strong economic and military ties to Novist, was drawn into the conflict, turning what began as a regional war into a broader geopolitical struggle.

Initially, Novist remained neutral, wary of entangling itself in another costly conflict so soon after the Civil War. However, economic interests, strategic concerns, and its alliance with Rapsia eventually forced Novist to intervene. By 1885, Novist formally entered the war against the expansionist factions of Iolicosia and Argysa, deploying its industrial might to the battlefield.

The war was marked by unprecedented mechanized warfare, with Novistian forces introducing advanced artillery, armored vehicles, and early forms of aerial reconnaissance. The western industrial base proved critical, enabling mass production of war materials that kept Novist and its allies supplied throughout the grueling twelve-year conflict. Major battles were fought across multiple continents, including key engagements where Novistian forces played a decisive role in pushing back Argysan offensives and breaking Iolicosia’s heavily fortified defensive lines.

By 1894, after years of attritional warfare and economic exhaustion, the war ended with the Treaty of Acharta. While the treaty imposed significant territorial adjustments, military limitations, and economic reparations on Iolicosia and Argysa, it was not designed to annihilate them. The terms ensured they remained intact as sovereign states, but their military capabilities were curtailed, and they were forced to accept Novistian and Rapsian oversight in key strategic regions. The treaty also laid the groundwork for new international diplomatic structures aimed at preventing another large-scale conflict, though lingering tensions suggested that peace would be fragile.

For Novist, the war’s aftermath solidified its position as a global power, confirming its industrial and military supremacy. However, it also revealed the fragility of international stability and the growing necessity of maintaining a strong global presence. The lessons learned from the First World War would shape Novist’s military doctrine, diplomatic strategies, and technological advancements heading into the 20th century.

Land Expansion, Industrialization of the East, the World Economic Crash, and the Second World War (1895–1945)

Territorial Growth and the Industrialization of the East

Following the Treaty of Acharta in 1894, the Grand Federation of Novist entered a period of economic and territorial expansion. The Land Consolidation Acts of the late 19th and early 20th centuries formalized Novist’s western and eastern frontiers, incorporating previously ungoverned territories and solidifying the federation’s borders. While the western industrial centers remained dominant, federal policies in the early 1900s sought to modernize the agrarian eastern states to reduce economic disparity.

The Eastern Industrialization Initiative (1901–1920) was the most ambitious project undertaken by the federal government. Spearheaded by a coalition of progressive and industrialist policymakers, this initiative provided massive federal subsidies for factory construction, infrastructure projects, and technological innovation. Rail lines, electrification efforts, and mechanized agriculture transformed the east from a struggling post-Civil War region into a vital economic hub. While resistance from traditional landowners initially slowed progress, the lure of industrial wealth ultimately accelerated the shift, allowing the eastern federates to integrate fully into the Novistian economic powerhouse.

The World Economic Crash (1910–1912)

Despite its economic success, Novist was not immune to the growing instability in the global financial system. Throughout the early 20th century, rapid industrialization and global trade expansion led to speculative bubbles in key markets, including commodities, manufactured goods, and military contracts. These bubbles burst catastrophically between 1910 and 1912, leading to a worldwide economic crash.

Major banks collapsed, unemployment soared, and political unrest spread across multiple nations. In Novist, while the economic downturn was severe, its industrial strength and federal interventionist policies allowed it to recover faster than most. The Economic Stabilization Act of 1912, passed in response to the crisis, implemented strict financial regulations, established emergency relief programs, and introduced a new framework for economic oversight. However, for many nations, particularly in politically unstable regions, the crash weakened governments and created conditions ripe for war.

The Second World War (1912–1945)

By 1912, global tensions had reached a breaking point. The military dictatorships of the Federative Republic of Ihia, the Empire of Oshia, the Kingdom of Athernia, and the nationalist regime of Viras pursued aggressive expansionist policies, using the economic downturn as justification for territorial conquests. Their targets were strategically chosen:

  • Ihia invaded the Mosintosian Region, a politically fractured but resource-rich area.
  • Oshia launched an invasion of the Council of Hajvahotur, a vassal state of the Rocquaranian Empire, securing a foothold in the region.
  • Athernia initiated a large-scale war against the United States of Iolicosia, seeking to destroy its democratic government and absorb its industrial base.
  • Viras, driven by an ultranationalist and militarist ideology, launched an aggressive campaign against bordering states, aiming to establish itself as a dominant regional power.

The war formally began in 1912 with these coordinated invasions, triggering a chain reaction of alliances and military mobilizations. Iolicosia, despite its industrial capacity, struggled to defend against the well-prepared Athernian forces. The war escalated as Novist and other global powers intervened, recognizing the existential threat posed by the Axis' expansion.

By 1915, the war had engulfed much of the world. Novist, bound by economic and military agreements with its allies, formally entered the conflict against the Ihian-Oshian-Athernia-Viras Axis. Initially, the Axis powers had significant territorial gains, but Novistian industrial superiority and technological advancements gradually shifted the balance. Mechanized divisions, early airpower, and advanced logistics networks played a critical role in countering the Axis offensives.

A major turning point in the war was the Rozhian Revolution of 1917, which saw the collapse of the Tsardom of Rozhia and the rise of the Union of Rozhian Socialist Republics (URSR). The revolution, fueled by rage and ideological ideals, led to Rozhia increasing its war effort, significantly weakening the Axis war effort.

By 1922, Novist and its allies launched a series of counteroffensives that gradually pushed back the Axis. Athernia’s war machine crumbled under sustained attacks from Novistian and Iolicosian forces, while Oshia, Ihia, and Viras found themselves overwhelmed by logistical failures and relentless offensives in the east.

Despite heavy losses and mounting pressure, the Axis refused to surrender completely. Between 1927 and 1935, the war entered a brutal phase of attritional warfare, as the remaining Axis powers fortified their strongholds and launched desperate counterattacks. The conflict extended across multiple continents, with devastating campaigns fought in the Mosintosian Region, the Oshian heartlands, and the occupied territories of Iolicosia.

The final phase of the war (1936–1945) saw a coordinated global offensive against the Axis remnants. Novist, now fully mobilized, unleashed its vast industrial and military power, deploying large-scale mechanized forces, strategic bombing campaigns, and advanced military technology. The war reached its climax in 1944–1945, as Ihia, Oshia, and Viras collapsed under relentless offensives, leading to the final surrender of the Axis powers.

Aftermath

The Treaty of 1945 formally ended the war, dissolving Athernia’s militarist government, restructuring Oshia under the oversight of the Union of Rozhian Socialist Republics, and imposing strict military restrictions on Ihia and Viras. Unlike the Treaty of Acharta, which had been harsh on its defeated adversaries, the postwar settlement was designed to ensure long-term stability rather than punitive retribution.

The war also led to a geopolitical shift, particularly in the Mosintosian Region. By the end of 1945, the region had unified into the Mosintosian Union, a federation of formerly independent states that sought collective security and economic cooperation. Meanwhile, Novist, having demonstrated its industrial and military dominance, emerged as the world’s undisputed hyperpower, setting the stage for a new era of global influence.

The Third World War, the Cold War, and the Second Novistian Civil War (1946–Present)

The Third World War (1946)

The Grand Federation of Novist emerged from the Second World War as the world’s dominant hyperpower, but its position was immediately challenged. In 1946, Novist faced the ultimate betrayal.

In a calculated and treacherous move, the Union of Rozhian Socialist Republics (URSR), the Rocquaranian Empire, and several vassal states launched a surprise invasion against Novist. Their goal was clear: to cripple the Federation and end its status as the unchallenged global hegemon. The war began with coordinated attacks on multiple fronts, overwhelming Novistian defensive lines and forcing rapid retreats. Entire cities fell, supply lines collapsed, and the Federation faced an existential threat unlike any before.

Faced with imminent disaster, President James K. Wainwright made the most controversial decision in Novistian history. With no other options remaining, he ordered the launch of 16 nuclear warheads against the advancing enemy forces near the border of what is now URSR territory. The result was apocalyptic.

The detonations annihilated entire enemy divisions, transforming the land itself. Blinding flashes of white vaporized advancing forces before they could register what had happened. Shockwaves flattened forests and cities alike, turning the ground into a molten, irradiated wasteland. The battlefield became an impenetrable nuclear wall—an untraversable, death-laden expanse where radiation blanketed the ruins like a toxic shroud. What had begun as a military maneuver became an act that scarred the planet itself.

The world recoiled in horror. Even Novist’s enemies had not anticipated such a decisive and catastrophic response. The invasion ground to a halt—not by conventional warfare, but by an unlivable no-man’s land that no army could cross. With their offensive shattered and faced with the prospect of further nuclear devastation, the URSR and its allies sued for peace in April 1946. The Organization of Free Democracies (OFD) was formed in the same month, solidifying an alliance against future threats to the Federation.

At home, the political backlash was immediate and severe. The war-weary public, already exhausted from decades of conflict, erupted in outrage. Mass protests condemned Wainwright’s decision as reckless and inhumane. Under immense pressure, he resigned in disgrace, leaving the fractured nation in the hands of his successor, Everett Blackwood.

The Cold War (1946–Present)

Though the Third World War ended in months, it did not bring peace. Instead, it ushered in a new era of global tension—the Cold War. The world was now divided between the Novist-led, Organization of Free Democracies (OFD), and the URSR/Empire-led, Alliance of Sovereign States (AoSS). Proxy wars, espionage, economic competition, and nuclear brinkmanship became the defining features of this conflict. As the decades passed, both sides engaged in an arms race of unprecedented scale, with Novist maintaining the world’s largest nuclear arsenal.

The Second Novistian Civil War (1972)

Even as Novist faced external threats, it soon found itself consumed by an internal crisis. By 1972, the nation was ruled by President Donald R. Hardwick, whose authoritarian grip on power had plunged the Federation into turmoil. Civil liberties were stripped away, the economy stagnated, and dissent was crushed under a regime more concerned with control than progress. Hardwick surrounded himself with loyalists and suppressed opposition through brutal crackdowns.

The people had enough. What began as protests soon escalated into an all-out civil war. Armed resistance groups, defecting military units, and enraged civilians took up arms, transforming Novistian cities into war zones. The Federation’s own armed forces fractured, with high-ranking officers turning against Hardwick’s regime. The fighting was fierce, but swift—the people of Novist refused to be ruled by a tyrant.

Within the same year, Hardwick’s support collapsed. His closest allies abandoned him, and his desperate attempts to flee were thwarted. In a last-ditch effort to cling to power, he barricaded himself within the capital, but it was too late. The rebellion stormed his stronghold, and the ensuing battle left much of the capital in ruins. Hardwick and his corrupt officials were captured, tried, and swiftly sentenced to death, ensuring that their reign of terror would never be repeated.

Despite the brief nature of the conflict, the war left deep scars on the nation. Rebuilding efforts were extensive, and the new leadership worked to restore democracy while navigating the ongoing Cold War. Even in victory, the Federation remained under constant pressure, both internally and externally, as it continued its struggle to defend its status as the world’s hyperpower.

Geography

The Grand Federation of Novist is the world’s largest country by total land. The 43 contiguous states and the Heart of the Republic occupy a combined area of 50,193,590 square kilometers (19,379,853 mi²)

  • The Redspire Mountains have served the Federation as a great way by being a barrier against the enemies in the past, but it also has separated the most eastern regions from the deep grasslands and the heart of the country. The Maltash River System, the world’s longest river system, runs predominantly north east-south to the heart of the country and connects with other rivers. The flat and fertile prairie of the Eastern Plains stretches to the east till the borders with Kjersadia, Nira and Argysa.
  • The Astaric Range, in the west of the heart of the country, extends from the south to the north across the western side, peaking at over 16,233 m in Sudbury. In the southwest corner of Enfeland, carved by the Konach River over millions of years, is the Vordak Rift, A deep, winding canyon that carves through the Astaric Range, shaped by ancient tectonic activity and a powerful river. Known for its sheer cliffs, hidden cave systems, and extreme weather patterns. Historically used as a natural defense barrier and a treacherous trade route.
  • The Draknor Peaks, the northern range with jagged, sharp peaks. Stretching from the Northern Gulf to the Argentum Ocean. Going through Bamer, Pickles, Betford, [REDACTED], Ashland and Kewenthia. The lowest and highest points of the Draknor Peaks are in the Federate of Pickley, about 1442 km apart. At an elevation of 10069 m, Ashland’s Veydran is the highest peak in the continent. 

Climate

The Grand Federation of Novist spans a vast range of latitudes and elevations, giving it a highly diverse climate. The northernmost regions are dominated by polar and subarctic climates, with extensive glaciers and tundra. These areas experience long, frigid winters and short, cool summers, with much of the land covered in permafrost.

  • South of the tundra, taiga forests define the boreal zone, where cold winters and short, mild summers are common. As one moves further south, the climate transitions into humid continental and oceanic zones, characterized by temperate deciduous forests and rainforests. These regions have moderate precipitation and distinct seasonal variations, with warm summers and cold winters.
  • The central plains and southern lowlands primarily consist of grasslands, savanna, and tropical seasonal forests, reflecting a steppe to tropical wet-dry climate. These areas experience warm temperatures, with some regions receiving seasonal monsoon rains, while others remain semi-arid.
  • The coastal and equatorial regions of Novist are home to tropical rainforests and wetlands, featuring consistently high temperatures and heavy rainfall throughout the year. In contrast, arid regions, including cold and hot deserts, exist in scattered lowlands and mountainous regions, where precipitation is minimal, and extreme temperature variations are common.

Novist is prone to extreme weather events, including powerful storms, droughts, and monsoons in the southern tropics, while the central plains experience strong wind systems and occasional dust storms. In the colder northern regions, harsh blizzards and ice storms are a frequent occurrence. Climate fluctuations over time have made certain regions more vulnerable to desertification, rising sea levels, and shifting precipitation patterns, impacting both agriculture and infrastructure.

Biodiversity and Conservation

The Grand Federation of Novist is one of the most biologically diverse nations in the world, with vast ecosystems ranging from frozen tundras and dense temperate forests to sprawling savannas and tropical rainforests. Novist is home to over 25,000 species of vascular plants, including thousands of endemic species adapted to its varied climates. Its wildlife includes approximately 560 mammal species, 920 bird species, 340 reptile species, 310 amphibian species, and over 120,000 insect species, many of which are unique to Novist’s ecosystems. The nation’s marine biodiversity is equally extensive, supporting thousands of fish and marine invertebrate species across its coastlines, deep-sea environments, and coral reef systems.

Novist has over 120 national parks and thousands of federally protected reserves, wildlife sanctuaries, and marine conservation areas, managed by the Novistian Environmental Protection Bureau (NEPB) and other agencies. About 33% of the nation's land is federally protected or designated as conservation zones, with strict environmental regulations balancing ecological preservation and sustainable resource use. Some areas are leased for economic activities such as regulated forestry, eco-friendly agriculture, and sustainable energy production, while military zones occupy less than 0.5% of the total land area, allegedly.

Environmental challenges in Novist include deforestation, industrial emissions, freshwater depletion, and climate change-related habitat shifts. The government has implemented advanced environmental policies, including mandatory carbon offset programs, habitat restoration initiatives, and AI-powered conservation efforts. The Novistian Biodiversity Act of 1968 and the Endangered Species Protection Act of 1979 provide legal frameworks for protecting vulnerable species and ecosystems, enforced by the Novistian Environmental Protection Bureau (NEPB).

With its commitment to sustainability and environmental protection, Novist consistently ranks among the top nations in global conservation efforts, integrating cutting-edge technology, eco-engineering, and green energy solutions to preserve its rich natural heritage for future generations.

Government and Politics

The Grand Federation of Novist is a federal union of 44 federates, 3 areas, and a federal capital district, Hollister H.R. The Federation also asserts sovereignty over multiple inhabited Islands and uninhabited islands, 1 Occupation Zone, and partially asserts sovereignty over the United Islands of Angria (Anguria Rengō Shotō) and the Novistian Mandate of Teiria. The Federation is the world’s oldest surviving federation, and its presidential system of national government has been adopted, in whole or part, by many states worldwide. It is a liberal representative democracy “in which majority rule is tempered by minority rights protected by law”. The Constitution of the Grand Federation of Novist serves as the country’s supreme legal document.

National Government

The national government of the Grand Federation of Novist operates under a presidential system with a strong executive branch, a bicameral legislature, and an independent judiciary. It is guided by the Constitution of the Grand Federation of Novist, which establishes the separation of powers, defines governmental authority, and guarantees the rights and freedoms of citizens. The national government is responsible for defense, foreign policy, national security, economic regulation, and other matters of federal jurisdiction.

Executive Branch

The executive branch is headed by the President of the Grand Federation of Novist, who serves as both the head of state and government. The president is elected by the people for an eight-year term and may serve an unlimited number of terms. The president wields extensive powers, including issuing executive orders, appointing federal officials, conducting foreign relations, and serving as commander-in-chief of the Novistian Armed Forces.

Supporting the president is the Executive Council, a body composed of key ministers, advisers, and agency heads responsible for overseeing various government functions. The president appoints Secretaries to lead federal departments, such as Defense, State, Finance, National Security, etc. The president also has the authority to propose legislation, veto bills, and manage national emergencies.

The Vice President, elected alongside the President, serves as the primary deputy and presides over the Senate, casting tie-breaking votes when necessary. In the event of the president's incapacitation, resignation, or removal, the vice president assumes the presidency.

Legislative Branch

The Federal Assembly is the national legislature of Novist, composed of two chambers: the Council of the Republic (Senate) and the House of the Republic (Congress). It is responsible for enacting federal laws, approving budgets, overseeing the executive branch, and ratifying treaties.

  • Council of the Republic (Senate): The upper chamber consists of representatives from each federate, area, and certain territories. Senators serve eight-year terms and are elected by their respective regions. The Senate holds the authority to confirm presidential appointments, approve treaties, and serve as the jury in impeachment trials.
  • House of the Republic (Congress): The lower chamber represents the population proportionally. Congressmen are elected for eight-year terms through a Mixed-Member Proportional (MMP) system. The House of the Republic (Congress) initiates revenue-related legislation and has the power to impeach government officials.

The legislative process requires both chambers to approve a bill before it becomes law, with the president holding the power to veto legislation. The Federal Assembly can override a presidential veto with a two-thirds majority in both chambers.

Judicial Branch

The judiciary is independent from the executive and legislative branches, ensuring the rule of law and constitutional integrity. The Supreme Court of the Grand Federation of Novist is the highest judicial authority, composed of ten justices appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate. Justices serve life terms or until voluntary retirement.

The judicial system includes lower federal courts, such as appellate courts and district courts, which handle constitutional disputes, federal law cases, and inter-state matters. The judiciary has the power of judicial review, allowing it to nullify laws or executive actions deemed unconstitutional.

Subdivisions

In the Grand Federation of Novist (GFN), sovereign powers are shared between three levels of government: the national government, the 44 federates (states), and specialized territories.

Residents of the federates are represented by local elected governments, which are administrative divisions of the federates. Federates are subdivided into municipalities or counties, depending on local governance structures. The federal capital district, Hollister H.R., is directly governed by the national government.

Special territories, such as the United Islands of Angria and the Novistian Mandate of Teiria, have their own governments. These territories maintain significant local governance while remaining under the overarching administration of the federal government for strategic purposes.

Additionally, some regions within the Grand Federation contain indigenous populations governed by tribal nations, which retain a level of autonomy while adhering to both federal and federate laws.

Political Parties

The Constitution of the Grand Federation of Novist does not explicitly address political parties, but a de facto two-party system developed with the National-Progressive Party and the Democratic-Republican Party.

The National-Progressive Party advocates for liberal policies, technocratic governance, and a strong federal role, while the Democratic-Republican Party emphasizes conservative principles, market-driven policies, and limited federal government.

Following the Second Novistian Civil War in 1972, triggered by President Donald R. Hardwick’s authoritarian regime, political parties faced significant restrictions. Hardwick's oppressive rule led to mass protests, armed resistance, and his eventual capture and execution. In the aftermath, the Electoral Integrity Act of 1976 and National Security Reformation Law of 1978 placed heavy restrictions on the Democratic-Republican Party, targeting extremist factions that had supported the regime. These laws ensure that future movements promoting authoritarianism or anti-democratic ideologies are suppressed.

As a result, the National-Progressive Party remains dominant, while the Democratic-Republican Party operates under strict federal oversight.

Foreign Affairs

The Grand Federation of Novist maintains an extensive network of foreign relations and possesses the world's largest diplomatic corps as of 1980. It is a permanent member of the International Union of Nations (IUN) Security Council and hosts the organization's headquarters in New Arcadia. Novist is a founding member of the Organization of Free Democracies (OFD) and plays a leading role in its military and strategic initiatives. Additionally, it is a key member of the International Financial Stability Organization (IFSO) and other major intergovernmental organizations focused on economic, political, and security cooperation. Nearly all nations maintain embassies and consulates in Novist, with the exception of a few states that remain in diplomatic isolation or direct opposition to Novistian foreign policy. While Novist does not formally recognize some governments, it maintains unofficial or strategic relations where necessary.

Novist has a "Strategic Partnership" with the United Islands of Angria (Anguria Rengō Shotō) and exercises partial sovereignty over the Novistian Mandate of Teiria. It maintains strong diplomatic and security ties with Henaira, Kytion, and Helion, as well as several allied states across multiple continents. The Organization of Free Democracies serves as Novist's primary alliance framework, ensuring mutual defense and political coordination among member states. Novist also holds key bilateral security agreements with select non-OFD nations and provides extensive military and economic aid to strategic partners. In contrast, its relations with the Union of Rozhian Socialist Republics and the Rocquaranian Empire remain highly adversarial, with ongoing geopolitical tensions and military competition defining their interactions.

Through its extensive diplomatic influence, Novist actively shapes international policy, enforces economic sanctions on hostile regimes, and promotes its ideological and strategic interests abroad. It plays a leading role in global security, economic development, and technological advancement, reinforcing its position as the world's foremost hyperpower.

They are distinct from the National Guard Forces, which are integrated into the federal structure and can be mobilized for national defense.

The Novistian military doctrine emphasizes full-spectrum dominance, global force projection, and strategic deterrence, ensuring its status as the preeminent military power in the world.

Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice in the Grand Federation of Novist

Law enforcement in the Grand Federation of Novist is carried out by a vast network of agencies at the federal, state, and local levels. There are over 22,000 law enforcement agencies operating within the nation, ranging from municipal police departments to specialized federal units.

The majority of policing is conducted by state and municipal police departments, along with county-level Sheriff’s Offices, which handle law enforcement in rural and unincorporated areas. Each of Novist’s 44 federates has its own State Police Department, responsible for statewide law enforcement, highway patrol, and supporting local agencies.

At the federal level, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) serves as the nation's premier federal investigative agency, handling counterintelligence, anti-terrorism operations, organized crime, cybercrime, and major inter-state investigations. Alongside the CBI, the Federal Security Service (FSS) is responsible for domestic intelligence, counter-espionage, and national security enforcement. The Federal Marshals Service (FMS) enforces court orders, protects federal witnesses, and apprehends fugitives.

Other major federal law enforcement agencies include:

National Criminal Investigations Directorate (NCID) – Investigates high-profile crimes, corruption, and white-collar offenses.

Federal Border Security Agency (FBSA) – Manages border enforcement, immigration control, and anti-smuggling operations.

Central Counterterrorism Division (CCTD) – Leads counterterrorism operations and intelligence coordination (formerly known as the Federal Counter-Terrorism Command (FCTC)).

Novistian Cyber Operations Command (NCOC) – Conducts cybersecurity enforcement, digital forensics, and cybercrime prevention.

Novistian Anti-Narcotics Agency (NANA) – Enforces drug laws and disrupts narcotics trafficking networks.

Federal Organized Crime Bureau (FOCB) – Investigates and dismantles organized crime syndicates and financial crimes.

Impact of the 2nd Civil War on Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice

The Second Novistian Civil War had profound effects on the nation's law enforcement and criminal justice system. Under the authoritarian rule of President Hardwick, civil liberties were severely restricted, and mass incarcerations became widespread. The Hardwick administration transformed immigration detention centers into concentration camps, where both undocumented immigrants and political dissidents were detained under inhumane conditions. Corruption, abuse of power, and extrajudicial killings plagued law enforcement during this period, leading to a crisis in public trust.

In the aftermath of the civil war, sweeping reforms were enacted to rebuild the criminal justice system and prevent future authoritarian abuses:

  • The Independent Law Enforcement Oversight Bureau (ILEOB) was established to investigate police misconduct and human rights violations.
  • The Truth and Accountability Commission reviewed wrongful convictions and war crimes committed under the previous regime, leading to exonerations and reparations.
  • Federal oversight on immigration detention was restructured, shutting down all former camps and replacing them with humane processing centers under strict legal supervision.
  • The National Sentencing Reform Act revised mandatory sentencing laws to prevent politically motivated mass incarcerations.

Criminal Justice System

Novist does not have a single, unified criminal justice system. Instead, it operates a complex, multi-tiered legal system across federal, state, and local levels. Federal courts handle cases involving constitutional issues, inter-state crimes, and violations of federal law, while state courts oversee the majority of civil and criminal cases.

Novist has one of the largest incarceration systems in the world, with over 10.5 million individuals in detention across various institutions:

  • 4,800 state prisons
  • 220 federal prisons
  • 5,700 local and county jails
  • 2,100 juvenile correctional facilities
  • 275 immigration detention centers (reformed post-civil war)
  • 90 military prisons and high-security sites

Prison facilities are managed by both federal and state correctional authorities, with state-run institutions housing most felony offenders and federal prisons detaining those convicted of federal crimes. Local jails hold pretrial detainees and those serving short-term sentences.

Incarceration and Crime Rates

As of 1980, the Grand Federation of Novist has an incarceration rate of 960 per 100,000 people, one of the highest in the world. The total prison population exceeds 8.8 million individuals, with an additional 1.7 million held in local jails and detention centers.

Crime rates in Novist vary significantly across regions. While urban centers experience higher rates of violent crime, rural areas contend with organized crime, smuggling, and paramilitary activity. Firearms-related offenses account for a substantial portion of violent crime, leading to strict federal regulations on weapons ownership and use.

The government enforces strict sentencing laws, including life imprisonment for high-profile offenses such as terrorism, treason, and espionage, while repeat violent offenders face enhanced sentencing measures. Novist also operates high-security Special Detention Facilities for dangerous criminals, spies, and individuals posing national security threats.

The Novistian legal system prioritizes national security, public safety, and strict criminal accountability, ensuring the state’s ability to maintain order and enforce laws across its vast and complex federation.

  • Infrastructure Maintenance: Aging industrial centers require continued investment to sustain efficiency.
