Florenzia Republic

The United Republic of Florenzia, or commonly referred to as, The Florenzia Republic, is one of seven members that make up the Organa Confederacy. They are from the eastern parts of Terra Primaris, one of the habitable moons of Organa Prime.

History
After the "Great Exodus", the entirety of the Armstrong Flotilla had its entire population slumber in a special fluid while their bodies are being modified. Each and every ship has their own form of modification that was performed on the surviving humans in order to adapt to whatever environment there might be present in Alpha Centauri. However, due to a wormhole that appeared en route, all the ships have reappeared in a completely different galaxy that was even more chaotic than the last with a multitude of storms and anomalies. The Armstrong Flotilla ended-up on a completely solar system, separated from the rest of the other fleets in the Organa System. Yet before they can do anything, their ships were hit by a passing asteroid storm that forced the surviving ships to land on different worlds. This includes Marian & Sheba.

In the northern continent where Sheba fell, Al-Gehaba, we have the spiritual Eju'modono that have follow many religious doctrines of Christianity and Islamic faiths as they use it to keep their people together after emerging from Sheba. The land was plentiful with lush valleys, colorful deserts, jungle plateaus and fertile tundras with spicy mushrooms and gigantic pine forests. Yet in the southern continent where Marian fell, Sugaramos, there live the Mahattanan. A more materialistic race that were comprised of many corporate hierarchy, fortune seekers, and those that want to build empires based on economics. On 95 AF, the two cultures came into contact with each other and got into a bit of a fight. Mostly on ideologies such as one wants to be a theocratic republic while the other wants to be a bit of a merchant republic. They fought out in sea and on some of the islands between the two continents. Yet while the two races fight over their ideals on what should they do on this world, there has been some secret talks with a form of shadow council.

This council have been plotting and secretly try to stop the war in the shadows as they secretly gain control over their respective territories. They controlled and manipulated public opinion, reason with very powerful people and try to overthrow the current governments. It took three years but they succeeded and united both races on 98 AF, and thus Florenzia was created. Even though the new government is meant to be a direct democratic republic, but the shadow council still hold the power over the new government through religion and profits. Yet when one problem was over, another starts.

On 109 AF, a ship from the west came from a completely different country came that has a mix of Asian and European cultures. Things went well at first but things turn sour after three years when many companies demanded more and more imports and some of their culture keep clashing with Erashia's. So, all imports from Erashia stopped, much of their communication has ceased and a cold war was instigated. Both sides have sent spies to try to gain an upper hand, but none can gain a foothold.

Around 215 AF, the first satellites were launched in order to keep an eye on each other and to monitor their communications. Yet all of their transmissions keep on getting intercepted by transmissions from the other moons. Satellites that were meant for war were ironically used for peace negotiations with the other nations. By 235 AF, the nations later formed the Organa Confederacy yet still has some doubts with some of the other nations, including their rivals, Erashia.

Culture
Much of Florenzia's culture is a mix of many American countries such as the United States, Jamaican, Brazilian and Peruvian while having many Islamic culture nations such as Egypt, the Middle-East, Libya and Morocco. There are many religions yet the majority of the people are Catholic and Islam. English and Arabic are the official languages since the minority of people speak them with minor languages such as Spanish, Turkish, Hebrew and Portuguese.

On the surface, the country seem to be a direct democratic republic but in truth it is ruled by corporations and the churches, which makes it more of a theocratic and corporate oligarchy. The whole point of saying that it is democratic is to put people's minds at ease and believe they have free will over the governmental system. It gives the citizens comfort and peace of mind while unknowing that they are manipulated from the shadows by an organization that knows how to cover its tracks.

People in the republic are highly Catholic and Islamic yet many of its dishes seem to be that of Brazilian and Islamic African with mutton and fish being the main meat source in all of their dishes alongside eggs and beef. There are a few United States cuisines such as burgers and fries, but they are less common alongside Jamaican exotic dishes such as lizard curry, Jamaican patties, and other such foods.

Economy
The main currency of Florenzia is credit.

Many of the resources include minerals, spices and wool from mutated alpacas. Many of these minerals are used in electronic devices, tools, consumer goods and machinery. They are also used in various construction materials yet some are converted into holy items such as rosaries and small cubes that look like Masjid al-Haram from Mecca. Spices are actually a mix of some mutated varieties from Earth and some discovered on Terra Primaris. However, some on Terra Primaris are known to have hallucinogenic properties if taken into large quantities such as half a cup. Strangely, the mutated spices that originated from Earth seem to be antidotes to the Terra Primaris spices.

Government
Florenzia's leader is the Chancellor who has absolute authority. In reality, it is more of a puppet leader controlled by the shadow council.
