Sylvania, officially the Federation of Sylvania, is a federation of thirteen commonwealths and the Federal District of Charleroi, which serves as the capital of the Federation. Sylvania's 13 commonwealths border the Yukon Commonwealth to the north and the Empire of Josepania to the south. Sylvania is the most populous nation in North Westernesse (Occidentia)

Paleo-Toyouans migrated to North Westernesse via water and ice land bridge more than 12,000,000 years ago and formed various civilizations and Societies. Frankish and Hanseatic exploration led to the establishment of the Charleroi and New Yorck colonies around 1634. Charleroi, the Frankish colony was purchased by Yorckish concerns after the Empire turned away from new world colonial endeavor, unable to compete with the pace of Aziliene expansion in the south. Yorckish settlers expanded west into native territories and sparking various conflicts. Unable to further financially cope with wars with the natives and a growing sentiment of independence from Sylvanian colonists the Hanseatic government chose to release the Sylvanian colonial government and in 1763 the colonial government formed the Republic of Sylvania.

In 18?? Sylvania was invaded by the Josepania in a war of expansion sparked by the warmongering of Generalissimo Antonio San Stefano. The war was costly for both sides but eventually the Republic of Sylvania was able to push back the Josepanian invaders back to it's original borders. The Treaty of Pike City in 18?? formalized the end of the war. Afterwards the Sylvanian Republic limped along saddled with enormous foreign debts due to the war. decades of stagnation and failing confidence in the Republic led to rising frustration in the western commonwealths and a vote of no confidence in the republic was held in the states of West Sylvania, Pocohanning, Kittatinny, West Prairie and Tiroe. These western states formed the Alliance of West Sylvanian Commonwealths and a capital was formed in Twin Echo. The rump Sylvanian Republic declared war on the 11th of May 1915 in an effort to regain control over the entire country. The bloody war led to the near collapse of both the Alliance and the Eastern Coaltion as the Sylvanian Republic came to be called. The Federation of Sylvania was founded on 11 May 1922, following the end of a bloody civil war between the Alliance of Western Sylvanian Commonwealths and the Republic of Sylvania (Eastern Coalition.)

Sylvania is a federal presidential democracy with a unicameral legislature, citizens vote for the president and vice president, but not the senate. Senators are elected by commonwealth legislatures. Sylvania has a population of over 167 million people and its capital is located in Charleroi. It is a developed country, with a strong and advanced market economy and a high standard of living.

Sylvania is a federal presidential democracy established by the constitution adopted in 1924.

Policies.
  • Foreign policy: Focused on national security and the stability of it's neighbors, Sylvanian policy is to make bilateral agreements rather than join into large all encompassing organizations. While formerly against monarchies and autocratic governments, the new administration has taken a more pragmatic approach to relations.
  • Economic policy: Protectionist for critical industries, the current administration is amenable to reducing tariffs and trade restrictions on a case by case basis.
  • Labor Unions: Ubiquitous, government takes part in dispute resolution through Federation Labor Relations Board, which has members elected from large union confederations and from political appointees who represent the government.
  • Healthcare Policy: A combination of private and public services. Insurance is mandated to be provided to all part time and full time employees and retirees. Government provides plans to those who are unable to work. Drug prices are strictly controlled and in some cases subsidized to balance out prices.
  • Energy Policy: Heavy investment into nuclear energy, coal and gas are in competition. Green energy sources such as solar, wind are used in rare cases, hydroelectric can be found in the mountainous west.
  • Freedom of speech: Held in the highest regard, Sylvanians can say whatever they want as long as physical harm is not the result of the speech. There are no protections for people should consequences arise from use of this right, ostracization can sometimes result from heinous speech.
  • Voting rights: Universal suffrage at age 21
  • Religious Freedom: Citizens are able to freely practice their religions, freedom of religion is enshrined within the constitution.
  • Military policy: All volunteer force with conscription in emergency cases. Both men and women must register for the draft at 18 years old.
  • Government Surveillance: Strictly forbidden, warrants are needed to spy on Sylvanians and they are hard to obtain.
  • Capital punishment: The death penalty has been abolished in 1989.
  • Abortion policy: Legalized in 2001, but heavily scrutinized in society. Many Sylvanians believe that abortion of viable pregnancies is murder and it is the subject of much deliberation amongst the populace.
  • LGBTQ policy: Homosexuality was never illegal, but many people feared coming out due to societal pressures and scrutiny. Attitudes toward homosexuality have changed to the positive over the last few decades, though trans and gender dysphoria is still treated as mental illness.
  • Drug policy: All recreational drugs are outlawed, except for marijuana products which are heavily regulated and require prescriptions from qualified doctors. Crossing the border with marijuana that cannot be accounted for is a federal offense, that is often prosecuted.
  • Firearm policy: Firearms are almost entirely unregulated, explosives are heavily regulated.
  • Immigration policy: Very selective and mostly based on qualifications and cultural backgrounds. Immigrants must prove they are capable of taking care of themselves and unemployment has been used as grounds for deportation. Azilio-Tiburan cultures are heavily scrutinized.
