Current social reforms:
LGBT rights: Neutral. the government has no position on it.
Minimum wage: acceptable, for the country. equivilent of 10 USD in 2016.
immigration: allowed, if done legally and correctly. illegals, if discovered, will be given one chance to become legal. if they refuse, then they are deported. no walls.
Gun control: extensive. you cannot get a gun if you are mentally unwell, or have ties to obviously bad groups. you can use a shotgun for hunting, with highly regulated ammo. the background check is thorough and invasive.
Healthcare: the government has National Health care, and is extremely well funded and managed. peoples health is important, and an unhealthy person is an unproductive person.

Education: the School curriculum is standardized, in all regions and cities. and, for grades 1 through 12, it is free, but anything above costs a reasonable amount of money, never more than one years worth of full time minimum wage. 19,200 dollars will get you any diploma in university. colleges and state schools and the like are free, but wont offer university education.
Taxes: there is a flat tax rate of 25%, excluding people who make 19,200 dollars or fewer. all tax "loopholes" are closed, and the rich actually has to pay a tax on everything they own. in theory, it should provide 25% of the GDP in all forms of taxes, assuming perfect tax collection. in reality, it would be around 20%.
there is a 5% sales tax on most common items. this is expected to make up for the "lost" tax revenue, equaling it to 25%.
Drug use policy: Alcohol, Tobacco and Weed is acceptable, but evcerything else is illegal. however, the Empire considers drug use to be a mental health issue, and will help the person to get over the addiction to the drug, going through rehab, and becoming a productive member of society. eventually.
everyone caught selling drugs, and distributing drugs, or making them, is sent to jail, and the drugs seized.

THE QUÉBÉCOIS UNION/ L'UNION QUÉBÉCOISE
Je me souviens
Official Short Name: Québec
Capital: Ville de Québec
Largest City: Montréal
Official Language: French
Recognised Regional Languages: English, Cree, Inuktitut, Mikmaq, Algonquin, Antillean Creole
Demonym: Québécois
Official Religion: None
Government: Federal semi-presidential constitutional republic
-President: Marie Cartier
-Premier: Denis Bouchard
Legislature: National Assembly
Currency: Québecois Dollar (QUD)
History:
Despite having come into the 21st century with a relatively secure position in its Canadian provincial status, within the first three decades of the century, Québec would not only find a quickly diverging path from the rest of Canada, but would even securer its own independence as well as the allegiance of the eastern Canadian provinces. The resurgence of Québécois sovereigntism came as a spectators result to the rise of the alt and far rights in Europe, themselves a reaction to increased racial and religious tensions in the reason. Paradoxically, however, the secessionist movement was actually spearheaded by the premier social democrat party in Québec, Parti Québécois, perhaps as a result of the provinces own leftwards leanings. In early 2018, a National Assembly election was called, due to the quickly deteriorating economic conditions around the world. In the election, PQ, as well as the minor sovereigntist party Québec Solidaire, managed to take a significant majority in the Assembly. Not long after, the repercussions of the dual economic crashes in both the United States as well as China began to affect Canada. While Canadas unusual reliance on the primary sector, especially in mineral rich Québec, allowed it to weather the economic storm better than other developed nations, its close integration and cooperation with the shattered American economy quickly lead to chaos across the nation. In the advent of both national and global economic collapse, preparations for a third independence referendum were prepared. An immense yes campaign was ran by the PQ-QS bloc, using the present economic doldrums to their advantage. On January 18th, 2019, the referendum was held. By 2:51 am January 19th, the votes had been tallied: yes led with a clear lead of 52.35%. On 10:00 am that day, hence to be remembered as Independence Day, PQ Premier Jacques Lavoisier issued a unilateral declaration of independence. Washington, having began its descent into anarchy, and Ottawa, feeling the intense repercussions of national economic recession and growing discontent with the government, were powerless to reply. And as such, the Republic of Québec was born.
The PQ-QS bloc ruled Québec without major interference from the outside world for the next decade, given that much of the world was collapsing upon itself in political and military insurrection. Within the nation, the bloc pursued the expansion of national government-controlled institutions (particularly education, transportation, and healthcare), as well as authorized immense mineral and forestry resource scouting and development, much to the chagrin of the local populace. Despite the misgivings in response to Québécois resource exploitation, one massive side effect was the resurgence of Québécois industry, particularly in the automotive, locomotive, and aerospace sectors. The Québécois Locomotive Works, founded in 2020 as a partially state-owned enterprise, grew to be the premier rail locomotive and rail manufacturer in the entire Western Hemisphere, and championed rail research, development, and construction in a region and continent many thought had been forever lost to automobiles. In particular, by 2027, the first high speed, intercity fully operational maglev system was opened and fully operational, linking the cities of Longueuil and Levis, with future plans to expand the line to Saguenay.
However, the aforementioned policies also sparked massive debates within Québec, leading to the dissolution of the bloc and a short period of relative political uncertainty, in which two important parties arose. The first was the Québécois Labour Party, the premier socialist party in the nation, and the second was the Confederation Party, a centre-right party seeking greater cooperation with Canada, with some elements even calling for reintegration. The remaining political parties quickly organized into two blocs surrounding each party, and after a long and tenuous series of campaigns, the Confederation Party, with its associate the Québécois Populist Party, handily won the 2031 elections.
Ultimately, however, the CP endeavors at reintegration into Canada proved futile, as with the New Year in 2032 came the Siege of Toronto, a well-coordinated, incendiary assault on Canadas largest city by radical opposition leaders. While Canadian government forces did beat back the insurrectionists, incredible damage was done to Toronto, its suburbs, and its infrastructure, and the Siege itself, combined with deteriorating conditions in the United Kingdom, left a symbolic death wish on the Canadian state and nation.
The first province to announce its secession was British Columbia. Newfoundland and Labrador quickly followed. Then, a joint decision between the Maritime provinces released the three of those into the free world. To secure their newfound liberties, the easterly fledgling nations looked to their precursor in Canadian secession, the Republic of Québec. The three nations combined met in Montréal in 2034 to discuss terms of union. And by 2035, the Québécois Union was born from the ashes of a dying Canada. Guadeloupe, reeling form the collapse of the French Republic, shocked the international and Caribbean stage by petitioning to join the Union. And in August 2037, Québéc welcomed its 4th constituent state to the Union.
As of 2043, the Québécois Labour Party, alongside its unionist ally the Social Democratic Party, have taken a majority in the 2039 election. However, economic downturns in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador, alongside a growing Francophone national sentiment and spilling instability from what remains of Canada, have led to a resurgence for right-wing politics in Québéc, consisting primarily of the old guard Confederation Party and their Montréal-based allies, the Québécois Populist Party, but also spearheaded on the far-right by the hypernationalist, anti-Canadian rhetoric driven National Federalist Party, who seek to place Québécois hegemony on a post-Canada and post-America Northernlands, referring to pre-collapse Canada, Alaska, and Greenland.

The Holy Kingdom of God on Earth
Capitals: Acre(government), Damascus(economic), Jerusalem(ceremonial)
Government: Officially, a Monarchy. However, the Kingdom has a fairly advanced bureaucracy mainly stemming from its deep religious roots, so it functions similarly to a constitutional monarchy. That said, the military has a hand in both.

The Reichsveranstelter has absolute authority and relies on an extensive bureacuracy to enforce the will of the government. There are three castes: the Einfachvolk, the Vorarbeiter, and the Technikerkaste. Caste is not inherited but determined after administration of a government intelligence test. Einfachvolk are essentially slaves and have no political or civil liberties, though are mostly allowed to live their menial lives without interference. Vorarbeiter are overseers and responsible for innumerable supervisory tasks. Most secretarial tasks are handled by computers, allowing vorarbeiter to function as secretary-overseers. They are generally underpaid and over-scrutinized. Technikerkaste are a selfish caste of engineers and scientists responsible for administration of the entire government.

OOC: With the history, people dont have to follow it, but Im just going to be bold and go ahead.
History: To discuss the events of Australia in the early 21st Century, one must mention the formerly United States of America. In 2016 the United States of America elected her last President. His policies were as divisive as they were unfeasible. The President slowly lost control of his congress and his party, but the congress turned out to be even less functional than the President. In early 2018 Congress, due to bitter infighting over laws regarding immigration, failed to raise the debt ceiling therefore and the country ground to a halt. The people braced for the worst, preparing for mass economic failure. But it was far worse than anyone could imagine.
Trader in the New York Stock Exchange reacting to the beginnings of the Collapse.
The United States stock market plummeted, confidence in the American economy was at an all-time low. Investment started moving to the Peoples Republic of China when the second major shock happened. The economic crisis caused a massive Ponzi scheme to be unveiled within China. These events all but destroyed the two worlds largest economies and began the Collapse, a series of events that caused the worlds largest countries to descend into political and economic anarchy. Large sections of the world have still yet to recover from the effects of the Collapse.
Anti-fascists clash with supporters of the New Australia movement.
Australia did not come unscathed from the Collapse. The widespread economic failure drove extremism. A rabid nationalist and fascist movement called the New Australia movement spread like wildfire across the country. Due to intimidation tactics, vote-rigging and other undemocratic practices they were able to gain a large following in the federal government, although they were unable to secure government. The supporters of the New Australia movement declared the vote invalid and, out of their base of operations in Queensland, declared themselves the leader of the Australian Union.

For almost 20 years the country was in a state of chaos, with the Australian Union and various other anti-government forces fighting the remnants of the Australian government on all fronts. A massive blow to the Commonwealth happened when the remaining Australian MPs were assassinated by a suicide bomber causing the collapse of the civilian government. Popular general Flynn Domai seized control of the government and managed to reunite the nation under the name of democracy once more. After stabilizing the country, Flynn Domai held free and fair elections and his party, the Internationalist Party, won the election with 53% of the popular vote. On boxing day, he was made Prime Minister. Some have compared Flynn Domai to Charles de Gaulle due to his role in bringing democracy back to Australia. Prime Minister Domai promises to steer Australia, and the world, from the evils of hyper-nationalism and bring peace and democracy to all.
Government: The government has reverted back to something very similar in structure to the pre-Collapse Australian system. The Monarch of England is still the head of state (OOC: Depending on what Mech does), although Australia is far more independent from England than it was pre-Collapse because of the shifting of the international landscape. Australia uses the Westminster system with a bicameral legislature and a single transferable vote. The lower house, the Australian House of Representatives, currently has 150 seats although this number is expected to rise as the population grows. Each seat is elected by an electorate of roughly equal size and the boundaries of each electorate is determined by an independent government body to avoid gerrymandering. The upper house, the Australian Senate, has a total of 72 senators. Each state (New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia) is represented by 12 senators, with 6 senators being put up for election every year unless there is a double dissolution. The recent election was a double dissolution because of the chaos of the civil war resulting in a largely dysfunctional senate. Each territory (Australian Capital Territory, Northern Territory) elects 2 senators per year, each senator in a territory has half the term length of a normal senator therefore they are both put up for re-election every year.
Current makeup of the Australian House of Representatives, 91 Internationalist (Gold), 54 New Coalition (Purple), 5 Independent (Grey).
Current makeup of the Australian Senate, 40 Internationalist (Gold), 28 New Coalition (Purple), 8 Independent (Grey).
Spoiler results by state :
Currently the Australian Parliament is dominated by the Internationalist Party, which is led by Prime Minister Flynn Domai and is mainly staffed by his supporters during the war, although there are numerous ex-Green and ex-Labor members in its ranks. The Internationalist Party is a left-leaning party, its main ideal is to foster greater cooperation between the nations of Earth and to spread the ideals of liberal democracy while keeping the spread of hyper-nationalism in check. Other ideals include a commitment to environmentalism, free trade and the usual political spiel about jobs and growth. The Internationalist Party, on the whole, believe very strongly in the United Nations as it was one of the few political bodies that believed in international cooperation that survived the Collapse. Flynn Domai has a large amount of influence in his party, but there are of course many factions within that dont agree with him or his vision of the Internationalist Party fully. Such is the nature of representative democracy.
The main opposition party is the New Coalition, which is a party that was created out of the remnants of the old coalition and ex-Labor supporters who were opposed to Flynn Domai. They follow a less extreme version of Domais philosophy and have a more right-leaning economic viewpoint. Right now they are struggling to find a voice outside of just being opposed to Flynn Domai. Some extreme fringes in the New Coalition believe that Flynn Domai is a danger to the very fabric of democracy in Australia and the world, but he strongly denies this position and says he is strongly in support for democracy. He believes the fact that he held elections instead of continuing to rule the country as a military dictatorship is proof enough of his good intentions.
The nature of the Australian democratic system means that a number of independent or third-party candidates will get into almost every parliament. The 2043 parliament is no exception, there are five independent members in the House of Representatives and eight in the Senate. They mostly ran on fringe ideological platforms or local issues. However, due to the Internationalist Party dominating both houses they will rarely have to negotiate with them, allowing the Internationalist Party a large degree of power that is rarely afforded to an Australian government.
Democratic Republic of Bulgaria
Демократична република България
Демократска Република Бугарија
Демократична Республіка Болгарія
Capital: Sofia
Languages: Bulgarian, Macedonian, Ukrainian
Government: Unitary parliamentary republic
President: Vladislav Stoykovski (Democratic Alliance)
Prime Minister: Nadezhda Ivanova (United Socialist Party)
Currency: Lev
The Democratic Republic of Bulgaria was established in its current form in 2018 when the republics of Bulgaria and Macedonia merged following a long period of economic instability in the Republic of Macedonia, which had lead to the rise of the pan-Slavic movement Bulgarian Brotherhood to power who strongly favoured a union with Bulgaria.
When Ukraine collapsed and the Crimean conflict escalated in the late 2020s, UN peacekeepers were sent in to stabilise the region and reach a more permanent solution. As a result of several peace talks and conferences the Odessa Oblast was assigned to Bulgaria to administer as the UN mandate of Southwestern Ukraine for an initial period of 15 years. A referendum was held in 2039 where 52% of citizens in Southwestern Ukraine voted to remain under Bulgarian administration when the UN mandate ends in 2044.
Bulgaria is a multi-party parliamentary democracy lead by a centre-left coalition of the United Socialist Party and Bulgarian Brotherhood since the 2042 parliamentary election when they won more seats than the incumbent centre-right Democratic Alliance-Liberal Alternative coalition. Bulgaria's head of state, the President, is indirectly elected by the parliament for a five-year term, with a presidential vote coming up this year. While President Stoykovski who currently holds this position is from the conservative Democratic Alliance, Stefan Borisov of Bulgarian Brotherhood is the candidate likely to win as he is supported by the sitting government.
The National Assembly, Bulgaria's unicameral parlament, has 360 members who are elected for a four-year term by proportional representation, with the next parliamentary election occuring in 2046. Below is a list of the six politicial parties that are currently represented in the National Assembly.
