Government Current Leadership: President Mateo Hidalgo and Vice President Yago Cotto Type of Government: Following the Rexmentis outbreak, Justosia transitioned from a constitutional monarchist republic, headed by King Carlos Pierre Francisco II, to a full democratic republic. It retains separate executive, judicial, and legislative branches, which evolved into a system of checks and balances in which no one branch may seize power. Old Justosia was composed of 50 districts. While they still exist superficially, they are diminished in power due to the decimated population and serve only to mark what used to be. A more accurate description of Justosia would be to use the seven zones it was divided into following the Rexmentis outbreak: Andalusia, Aragon, Castille, Catalonia, Corona, Hansa, and Valencia. Local Government: Each of Justosia's 50 districts had a district governor but are now governed by zone representatives, also called governors. Keeping with the old government, terms are five years each. Additionally, each zone contains a zone assembly whose terms are 3 years. Each zone has set up a supreme court. The current Zone Governors are as follows: District One (Castille)- Cecilia Mondragon District Two (Corona)- Colonel Jacobo Khushrenada District Three (Hansa)- Sarah Merquise District Four (Andalusia)- Octavio Sanabria District Five (Catalonia)- Maximiano Santana District Six (Valencia)- Evan Hiley District Seven (Aragon)- Carlos de Anda Political Parties: Justosia's political parties have survived and evolved with the times. They consist primarily of two main parties: -The NCRA (National Center-Right Alliance) stand for removing AA forces from Justosia or scaled back; strong national defense/military; low/flat taxes for all with no one making below 50,000.00 paying said tax; strong border security; pro-life; divided on drugs; relative private sector deregulation/uphold free market health care; no estate or death taxes; lowering capital gains taxes; vouchers for private schools for needy families/communities; funding more developing nuke and space tech; and uphold the death penalty. -The NSDU (National Social Democratic Union) want AA forces to remain in Justosia; cut national defense spending; want a progressive income tax with those making 100,000.00+ paying 20% in income taxes and no one making below 30,000.00 paying said tax at all; more open borders and amnesty for current foreign illegals and refugees; pro-choice; want all drugs legalized; want increased regulation of the private sector and universal health care; increased capital gains, estate, and death taxes on anyone making 100,000.00+; more funding for public schools, and abolish the death penalty. |

The Armed Forces of the Commonwealth These consist of three branches; the Army, Navy and Air Corps. The Navy controls a sub-branch, the Coast Guard, which is tasked with interdicting smugglers of all types and with rescuing sea goers in trouble. Justosia also controls a sizable nuclear arsenal, fitted in ICBM's and cruise missiles. The ICBM's are mostly land based, with a very small amount of others being submarine based. The land based ICBMs are controlled by the Army, and cruise missiles divided between the Navy and Air Corps. Army Much of the Army of the Commonwealth is currently under going training from Taeunas units in the country. They currently consist of two heavy brigades that are fit for active duty.

Founding: Justosia was founded on July 7, 1710 by Miguel Francisco, but it did not become a kingdom until 1725. Francisco and his small group of religiously exiled followers stumbled upon the now Justosian coastline after being lost at sea for two months. Francisco took it as a salvation from Yahweh and a sign that this land is where they were to settle, develop, and flourish; his expedition also included the future first Grand Archbishop of Justosia and founder of the Church of Justosia, Marcus Fidel Perez. Founding of the Holy Church of Justosia: ![]() Official Seal A loose national government was organized by Francisco. It amounted to a Supreme Council (royal court) of him and his nine of his most trusted original followers. However, Francisco had still not declared himself king, when Perez requested a private audience with Francisco on May 6, 1720. Perez urged him that it was time to form a new church, free of the corruption and the brutal abuses of the old church that had exiled them ten years earlier. Both devout men, Francisco agreed with Perez and they conferenced long into the night over what would eventually become the foundation for the monarchy and Church of Justosia. Finally at dawn on May 7, 1720 in front of ten other newly selected Archbishops, His Holiness Grand Archbishop Marcus Perez I broke ground on the Santo Iglesia de Yeshua of the new Holy Church of Justosia. When the first rays of daybreak caught the crucifix in a grand, surreal way, Francisco and Perez were reportedly brought to tears and exclaimed it as another sign and blessing from Yahweh. His Holiness Perez reigned for twenty years and died October 9, 1740 at 72 years old. He was buried in the Holy Crypt in the Holy Catacombs below his first church and was declared a saint by His Holiness Grand Archbishop Marseilles II on December 25, 2000. The founding of the Holy Kingdom of Justosia: The Holy Kingdom of Justosia was officially founded on July 7, 1725, exactly fifteen years after Francisco and his followers discovered the Justosian shore. His coronation, during which he was crowned His Royal Majesty Juan Miguel Francisco I, would mark the first national celebration. He would spend the rest of his reign cementing a strong national government and uniting the various settlements. He would appoint dukes to govern his regions for him, which grew into fifty districts over time, and secured his crown with the belief in Divine Right. Francisco died August 12, 1741 and was interred in the Royal Crypt. The next 270 years were rather peaceful for Justosia. Its long term isolationist and general appeasement policies allowed it to avoid any significant large-scale wars, including the World War; it managed to remain uninvolved and even profited by selling arms to both sides during the conflict. The Justosian Civil War (1986-1990) The summarization of the hostilities begins in 1986. The cold, estranged, and increasingly tense relationship between then King Carlos Francisco I and his eldest son, Crown Prince Juanito, was reaching critical mass. It began with family problems: King Carlos was fed up with Prince Juanito’s repeated arrests, fines, and court dates for public drunkenness and public fists fights and Prince Juanito’s refusal to straighten up; reports began to circulate of the prince beating his girlfriend Anita Sofia, a developing cocaine addiction, and even worse behavior. On November 1, 1986, the King called a press conference to announce that he was disowning his eldest son and stripping him of his right to the throne, royal title, and any other benefits or links to the Justosian royal family. Arrest warrants were issued for now ordinary citizen Juanito Francisco, but he was suddenly nowhere to be found. On December 25, 1986, King Carlos I's personal jet exploded as it ascended from the Avalon International Airport runway. Hours later, Queen Maria Sophia I was found dead in her room under suspicious circumstances, though it would be later ruled a suicide committed in grief. With both parents dead, Prince Carlos Pierre was now next in line for the throne and to be crowned immediately. However, Juanito emerged from hiding in a broadcast from Victoria Army Base in which he announced his supporters had planted the bomb that had killed the late king and that his supporters, 39% of the army, were shelling and taking over towns in the vicinity of Victoria AB. On December 26, 1986, Crown Prince Carlos and the National Supreme Court branded Juanito a traitor, automatically guilty of treason and murder, and to be punished by death. The crown prince immediately mobilized his remaining loyal forces to crush Juanito and his supporters. The remaining three years of the civil war were tough, with forces seemingly evenly matched, but by late 1989 it became obvious that Juanito was dangerously low on defectors. On September 25, 1990, Juanito challenged Carlos to a duel in Victoria Square, Avalon to settle the entire civil war. Though the duel was close, it was stamina that eventually allowed Carlos to defeat his brother; Juanito was slain in the duel rather than surrender to be put on trial. Five days later, Carlos was crowned King Carlos Francisco II. In one of his first royal edicts, King Carlos II erected a statue of his slain father in center city Avalon, in Victoria Square.

The Hrystran Crisis (March 2011) As with most political incidents, the Hrystran Crisis began innocuously when Justosia refused to recognize the sovereignty of Prismos, which had emerged from self-imposed international isolation. In order to obtain the recognition it sought, Primos announced that it would conduct nuclear tests in international waters. However, while the site it chose was indeed recognized as international waters, it bordered on Justosia's nautical territory, a claim unsubstantiated by the international community. The tests sparked a standoff: Githa, Anu-Asiya, and Emeralia supported Prismos' right to test at that location while Justosia and some in the international community supported Justosia's concerns that the tests were purposefully provocative, but not Justosia's aggression in the situation. The situation rapidly dissolved until the AA arranged for peace talks in Slostia. Queen Maria initially represented her country, but as the talks broke down her husband, King Carlos II, made an appearance at the conference. While it did not appear the change in representatives would improve the peace negotiations, the outcome was ultimately unexpected: the conference was suddenly interrupted by a national emergency and the royal family immediately returned to Justosia, effectively ending the peace talks. Rexmentis Outbreak (April 2011) The national emergency ended up being an outbreak of a parasite previously unknown to science: Rexmentis. While its origin has been debated, it is certain its appearance in Justosia led to the collapse of the country. The parasite struck major population centers, including the capital Avalon, and crippled both the government and the military, who attempted to deal with the outbreak with traditional procedures. However, the infected quickly caused government buildings and bases to be overrun, accelerating the rapid decline of the country. While the exact timeline of events is uncertain, it is known that the royal family did not survive and that much of the infrastructure also perished. Only pockets of survivors in major cities were saved and rural Justosia was spared of the worst effects of the parasite. Justosia did not initially request assistance for the outbreak and instead went silent. Several countries investigated the sudden blackout from their people within Justosia and discovered a country full of infected cannibals. A coalition of AA forces consisting primarily of Demoness, Greater Laddneia, Slostia, Stefannica, and Taeunas deployed to restore order; Justosia was divided into seven zones to facilitate this operation. While most records and government disease control facilities were discovered in ruins, a research company named Vitae Æterna was discovered with intact records. This information assisted InGen and TRIAD in developing a vaccine. Justosian Humanitarian Aid (June 2011-present) After a vaccination was created and distributed, the AA forces began to focus on restoring Justosia. The Justosian Welfare and Vaccination Resolution supported relief efforts while establishing the country as a temporary protectorate. The seven zones became more permanent as a means to assist with restoration and governing issues and the Justosian Transitional Council (JTC) came into being. The JTC consisted of 33 ex-government officials and assistants who survived the outbreak and were the de facto leaders and representatives for the country. Several accusations were made against these people, the most grievous of which was "opportunist"; with the government records in disarray, it was difficult to substantiate the claims of some government assistants and the position they held. Others were accused of using the abrupt vacuum to seize power for themselves or of surrendering Justosian sovereignty to the AA. Several elections were held per the AA, but these were often bogged down by accusations of corruption. The Justosian Welfare Committee (JWC) was also established by the AA to monitor the situation's progress and was composed of one expert from each signatory country; they repeatedly reported lack of Justosian progress, particularly in the elections; apparent fighting between Greater Laddneia and Taeunas; and the mysterious appearance of devices, termed "fumigators", that poisoned the areas around them. Attempts to correct these problems were occasionally successful, but overall the situation stagnated. Impatient with the lack of progress, both in restoring the government and establishing peace, the AA passed another resolution in December reaffirming Justosia's sovereignty. It also established a deadline for a new government and reasserted the eventual withdrawal of AA forces from the country. Whether this resolution had an affect on Justosian development is debatable, but shortly after the first successful election was held. Establishment of the Democracy (March 2012) Accusations of corruption were common in the elections following the outbreak. Despite several different candidates and often successful campaigns, the same handful of people kept winning elections; it was no surprise these people were also members of the JTC with access to the polling systems. Though the voting devices were repeatedly checked by the JWC and replaced when they showed signs of tampering, subsequent elections never went unchallenged; the accusations continued even after voting methods were switched to punch cards. As the AA's deadline and a new election approached, it seemed the same problems would continue. However, popular candidates were elected and thus far there have been no accusations of tampering. The new President, Mateo Hidalgo, has done much to stabilize the country in his short term and it appears Justosia may finally recover and move forward. |

Geography![]() Location: Hesperia. Justosia's total area is 480,825 square miles and does not include its naval bases or formerly claimed nautical territory. Climate: Justosia is very pleasant during the spring and summer seasons, especially its famed coasts and beaches. The record high to date is 101F on August 22, 2000. The record low to date is -5F on January 16, 2005. Terrain: Most of rural Justosia is rolling hills and flat grasslands, farms, and other types of sparsely populated areas, but the vast majority of Justosia's population is concentrated in city, metro, and sub-metro areas. The Alacia Mountain Range (roughly 400 miles) spans most of Justosia's northern border. Portions of Zones 4, 6, and 7 are saturated with radiation and have been quarantined; this is known as the Containment Zone. Natural Resources: -Vast reserves/quantities of: Rubber, Fish -Significant reserves/quantities of: Oil, Lumber -Minor reserves/quantities of: Gemstones, Fresh water, Non-Ferrous Metals Though once split into fifty districts, Justosia is now divided into seven districts coinciding with the seven responsibility zones of the AA: Andalusia, Aragon, Castille, Catalonia, Corona, Hansa, and Valencia. The following forces remain in Justosia: -Anu Asiya: Camp Fala (Zone 4) -Demoness: Zone 1 and joint responsibility of Zone 7 -Fenwick: Support forces in Demonessian zones -Slostia: Zone 4 and joint responsibility of Zone 7 -Stefanica: Zone 5 -Taeunas: Zones 2, 3, and 6 Greater Laddneia also formerly had forces in Zones 6 and 7 but later withdrew and their responsibilities were absorbed by other nations. A Rexmentis research lab was created in Avalon and is run by InGen and TRIAD with full cooperation from the government. |

Economy Since the birth of Justosia as a nation, it has always had the pleasure of being a fishing paradise. From its creation to the present, Justosia has had a booming fishing business. For the first decade of the 21st century, Justosia's economy was booming thanks to its resources such as Rubber and Oil. Oil as always has been in high demand around the world and in 1998, Justosia finally tapped into its moderately sized oil reserves. Once the King tapped into the oil reserves, Justosia had a boom of money. However, since the outbreak Justosia has been on life support. The outbreak and nuclear radiation in the nation has made the nation no place to set up any stores or corporations. However with the help of the Joint Forces, the AA, and the HCoIN, Justosia has begun to grow again. Although it may take many years to bring its economy back into order, it will continue to be the nation that will show Alterra it will not die.
