Magisteria

Magisteria, formally known as the Magisterian Democratic Socialist Republic (French: République Socialiste Démocratique Magistère), and also known as the Magisterian DSR, is a sovereign democratic socialist state located in the Markian continent which sits in the North Atlantic Ocean, sharing borders with the countries of Sordland and Arcasia, and sharing maritime borders with the country of Valgsland. It is a federalist democratic, constitutional presidential republic and is divided into 28 federal cantons, a federal district, and three autonomous offshore islands.The military powerhouse of the Markian continent and currently under the leadership of President François-Marie Glass, Magisteria is a staunch democratic socialist sovereign state with a very strict neutral foreign policy which originated after the Cold War officially began in 1947. The country remains to be strictly neutral, with many observers calling Magisteria the 'Markian Switzerland'.

Since the creation of the democratic socialist republic in 1947, Magisteria has maintained a firm policy of armed neutrality. Just like its European counterpart Switzerland, Magisteria did not join the United Nations until 2002. Nevertheless, it pursues an active foreign policy. It is frequently involved in peace-building processes worldwide and it is a founding member of the Federation of the Markian Nations.

Magisteria's linguistic diversity came from the colonial era of the country, with Great Britain, France, and Spain colonizing the land in different areas before a war between the three colonizers ignited where it led into an inconclusive end where the three colonizers agreed to not annex their respective colonies. The agreement would last from 1572 to 1780, where the agreement ended through the 'Three-Way Four Years War' where the Magisterian revolutionaries go against their British, French, and Spanish colonizers, and surprised everyone by winning without any additional help from fellow Markian colonies. After the revolutionaries won the war, they declared independence and established a provisional revolutionary government to ensure stability. In 1801, the first constitution was ratified and in-effect, establishing the first republican government in Magisteria.

Magisteria occupies the majority of the Markian continent. Although the majority of the population are English-speaking, Magisterians names are a mix of English names, French names, and Spanish names thanks to its colonial past. A developed country, it has the highest nominal wealth per adult as well as the highest per capita gross domestic product in the Markian continent. It ranks highly on some international metrics, including economic competitiveness and hum an development. Its cities such as Annesia, Traverse, Stadzuilen, and Viteri rank among the highest in the world in terms of quality of life and as well the lowest costs of living in the world.
