Organisation of Foroned Nations | | Caserdom of Santa Crus

Santa Crus (Lusitanish: Santa Cruz), ambly the Caserdom of Santa Crus (Lusitanish: Império de Santa Cruz) is the greatest land in both Southamerica and Latinish America. It spans over a landfleck of 8,363,186 foursideskilometers and has a befolking of over 210 million, making it the fourth greatest land by both landfleck and befolking. It is made of 19 boundly provinces and one Caserly Headstead. It is the micklest land to have Lusitanish as an ambly speech, and the only one in the Americas. Santa Crus is one of the world's most multiculturely and manifoldly lands, because of over a yearhundred of wandering from around the world. It is also the most befolked land to have a Romish Catholicish micklehood. Its headstead is Januarystream (Lusitanish: Rio de Janeiro), while its greatest stead is Sanct Paul (Lusitanish: São Paulo).

Santa Crus is bounded by the Westsea to its east and has a coastline of 7,491 kilometres. It covers nearly half of Southamerica's landmass and edges Frankriche, the Netherlands and the Danelaw in the north through their overseagebedes in that land, Venediana in the north, New Granada in the northwest, Peru and Bolivarland in the west, Paraway in the southwest and Silverstream and Cisplatina in the south. While most of its weighty steads are along the Westsea coast, much of its vast lands are the Amazon flatlands which are home to a manifoldness of wildlife, ecologish systems and rawstuff.

A local might and a Middlemight in worldly dealings, Santa Crus ranks high in the Menish Onwicking Index. It is a newly industrialised land and has the greatest share of wealth in Latinish America. Santa Crus's worthship is the 12th greatest in the world by GIP, though it is not that high in headly GIP. It is a weighty breadbasket and has been the greatest producer of coffee for the last 150 years. It is a grounding limbstate of the OFN, the Group of Twenty, the Latinish Gemeanship, the Organisation of Americanish States and the Gemeanship of Lusitanish Speakers.

Gesheede

The Lucia Frow, some of the earliest menish beleves in the Americas, was found in a cave in Minas Gerais and gives showtokens of menish beinghood going back at least 11,000 years. When Lusitaners made it to Santa Crus, it was befolked by hundreds of small thedes, the earliest going back 10,000 years in the highlands of Minas Gerais. The elding of the roots of these firstcomers, now called Wildlings of Inders (índios) by the Lusitaners, is still fraigned among loremen. The first Wildlings likely made it to Santa Crus from Asia, either by land through the Bering Sound, or by waterways along the Calmsea.

The berghchains of northern Southamerica brought forth a sharp culturemark between settled farming cultures of the west and the landless thedes of the east who never onwicked runes in the way the Westerners did. As such, there is little that is known about Santacrusish gesheede before 1500. When Europers found Santa Crus, there were 2,000 thedes there. They were mostly landless folk who wandered to and fro and made their living on hunting, fishing, gathering and waying landwork, mostly living along the coast or weighty streams. Maneating, thedely crigfare and the forfollow for redwood made the Lusitaners believe that they should Christen the wildlings, but the Lusitaners had brought with themselves illdoms to which the Wildling body had no shield. Measles, smallpest, Whitepest and the flu killed tens of thousands of the wildlings, spreading quickly along tradeways and wiping out whole thedes before they could even meet the Europers.

The Pope first split the New World between Hispania and Lusitania in 1493, but that mark was driven furher west in the better-known Fordrawing of Tordesillas. At this time, only some of Middleamerica was known and nobody had even set foot on either North- or Southamerica. Nevertheless, it is not known who first set foot on what is now Santa Crus. The best known theory is that Santa Crus was first found by the Lusitaners when Pedro Álvares Cabral (better known as Peter Elfweardson) came there with a fleet of Lusitanish ships on April 1500. Cabral met wildlings holding stone-weapons split into many thedes who fought among themselves. Other early names for Santa Crus inhold Terra dos Papagaios (Popinjayland) or Brasilia after its redwood.

Lusitania paid little auchting to Santa Crus until 1529 as they made more geld through trading with Indey, China and the Eastindey. This led to traders and searobbers of other lands to come and take worthwile redwood in Lusitanish lands there, in the end even leading to Frankriche grounding its own colony of France Antarctique where they shipped many of their own Hugenuters. Lusitania instead brought forth an order that would let them beset Santa Crus without paying any geld: They grounded erfly Headmanships that gave the colony to small Lusitanish ethelmen that would be answerly in besetting the land. This went really really badly and only four lands (New Lusitania, Sanct Vicent, Sanct George and Fealhaven) were beset sigefully. Lusitania again split the land into a Northern Regearing in Heleth and a Southern Regearing in Januarystream.

In 1578 and when Lusitania was put under personalunion by the Hispaners, Santa Crus fell under Hispanish grip in what is now known as the Iberish Onehood'. At this time, thralldom, wholesale murder and shending by settlers and their Hispanish overlords grew, and in answer many thedes banded together in what is called the Elders' Bound. At this same time, sugarcane began to be farmed in Santacrus along its northeastern coast. Sugar became the grounds upon which Santacrusish worthship and gemeanship would be built. At first, settlers would forthrall the wildlings to work on their field. B 1570, Santacrusish sugar output was greater than that of Westsea Ielands. In answer, the Netherlandish came to take over. From 1630 to 1654, Netherlands would hold much of northeast Santa Crus under 'New Holland'. Much Worse, the Netherlanders, alongside the Angledanes and the Franks, set up sugar production in their own New World-colonies alike to the geplanting stand followed in Santa Crus. This meant that by the time Lusitania could take back New Holland after three crigs, she was no longer the greatest producer of sugar in the New World. Throughout the first 150 years of its colonial eld, Santacrus was seen as a worthy markle to forsettle by everyone. Even though the Pope had said Santacrus was Lusitanish, her vast rawstuff and landfleck made other Europers not care. Franks built a colony in Januarystream from 1555-67 and then in Sanct Lothwig in 1612-14. The Netherlanders would forsettle much of the northeast in New Holland from 1630 to 1654, while the Hispanish would fand to take more of Santa Crus, beginning in the settling of Cisplatina. Nevertheless, the only culturely or thedely inflow from the Netherlands or Frankriche is in the northwest where they still hold some lands.

Lusitania first came to forken Santa Crus's hinterlands through Adventurers such as the Banderiantes (Flagbearers) who came into the wealds to find gold and wildling thralls. As colonists couldn't forthrall the wildlings as quickly as needed, Lusitania came to infare millions of thralls from Africa, namely Lusitanish Thrallcoast. Thralls died quickly while farming sugar or working in gold berghworks, and there were few women and too earm a tostand for the thralls to grow their tolls on their own. Nevertheless, Colourlings would become a great part of the Santacrusish befolking, and long before thralldom was outlawed, they had begun to putone with the Europish Santacrusish befolking. One other outcome of thralldom in Santa Crus is that there were many Thralluprisings until it was at last outlawed in 1888. The best known of these was led by Frans of Palmares. Frans, known by his birthname of Zumbi by some, became the leader of a self-ruling republic of Castaways called Palmares, which had a befolking of 30,000 at its height. under Frans, Palmares fought against Lusitanish regearing and flagbearers for many years, but his republic fell in February 6, 1694 after 67 years of haltless strife. Lusitanish commanders would bomb Palmares with artillery and then waste Macaco, the republic's so-called headstead. Frans fled, but was fanged by Lusitaners two years later where they beheaded him to show that thralls were not undying.

Santacrusish worthship would outbough when gold was struck in early 18th yearhundred. The Goldrush would lead to great inwandering, and the land where god could be dug would be known as Minas Gerais, which means Allgemean Berghworks in Lusitanish. Gold-digging became the main work in colonial Santa Crus: Thralls would dig up the gold for their masters who would send it to the mainland where it would pay for industrialised goods like clothes and weapons that were bought from lands like the Danelaw, but also to build standbilths when the king wanted one. Even after Santacrusish unoffhanghood, Angledanes would keep doing business in Minas Gerais. The greatest gold berghworks in Latinish America was the Holy King Iohannes Geselship which was built in Minas Gerais. Berghwork led to great growth in southern Santa Crus, not just from digging up gold and diamond but the bettering of food production. Most noteworthily it bettered trade and onwicked trader gemeanships in havensteads. While the Lusitanish would weald the trade to Santa Crus in name, in truth Lusitania became a tradehaven for in- and outfaring goods from elsewhere which were then shipped to Santa Crus. Straightforward trade with outlanders was outlawed, but before the Netherlandish ongripe most of Santa Crus' outfares were shipped out by the Netherlanders. Santa Crus was first opened to world trade in 1808 when the Lusitanish king and his family fled across the Westsea during the Great Deoch Crig.

When the thralls in Hispaniola rose up against their Frankish and Hispanish overlords, Santa Crus was also at the edge of beginning their own thrall uprising. Even outside the thralls, there were plans drawn to overthrow the Lusitanish colonialregearing as early as 1790s: Earm whites, rich whites, freedmen, thralls and mixlings wished to rise up against the Lusitanish Crown to outlaw thralldom, take grip out of the Catholish Church, end thedely underthrutching and ground a system that gave alike likelihood to all of its burghers. Thralls and Earm Whites rose against the regearing twice, but twice they were put down. In 1808, the Lusitanish king, fleeing the Hispanish overfall of Lusitania under befeal of Frankriche and Deochland during the Great Deoch Crig, would come to Santa Crus in a great fleet followed along by Angledanish Crigmen. They would bring the regearing to what was then only a colony, and grounded themselves in the steading of Januarystream. From there, the Lusitanish King Iohannes VI would rule the Riche for 15 years. He made Santa Crus a kingdom of alike stand to Lusitania in 1815 when he grounded the Foroned Kingdom of Lusitania, Santa Crus and the Algarves. When Iohannes VI left Santa Crus to Lisbon in 1821, his eldest son Peter beleved in Januarystream to rule in his name, but one year later he benamed himself the Caser Peter I of Santa Crus and began a Crig for Unoffhanghood against Lusitania.

Peter would rule as Caser until 1831, but then stepped off because the landlords thought him too liberal and the schoolmen thought him not liberal enough, and went to live in Lusitania, leaving his five-year-old son Peter II as Caser. Santa Crus would be ruled by behalfsmen for 9 years, leading to a manifoldness of uprisings. Pedro II would make Santa Crus a grounded kingdom and gave most of his wealds to a Primeminister benamed by the Caserly Forsamling. Outside of the Unoffhanghoodcrig, Santa Crus would fight many crigs in the Platestream area. The Cisplatinish Crig in the 1820, the Platish Crig in the 1850s, the Twithe Cisplatinish Crig and the Parawayish Crig in the 1860s. The last of these crigs was the bloodiest and the greatest in all Southamericanish gesheede, and after it ended Santa Crus would not fight in many crigs until nearly one yearhundred later. All through Peter II's weald, the land was in a stand of strife over the fraign of thralldom: While landowners and wealthy white men wished for thralldom to beleve, it was becoming outelded. Most noteworthily, the Angledanish and Frankish Outfaresbar on Africa made shipping thralls hard, while there were many liberalish burghers who called for the land to outlaw it. One of the grounds upon which landowners withstood outlawing thralldom was coffee. Santa Crus made nearly half of the world's coffee by 1850, and the folk working on coffee fields were mostly thralls. Ironbanes were drawn to ship off coffee to the market and to fare freight and folk around the land. When Thralldom was made unlawful, Japanish, Hispanish and Italish workers took their place in working coffee fields. Meanwhile, rubber would shape the Amazonish streamlands from 1890-1910 when it was found, though by that point thralldom was already unlawful.

Peter II stepped off as Caser in 1888 and benamed his daughter Isabel as the new Caserine. Isabel was not unliked though many conservatives thoughted it unseemly for a woman to become stateshead. Isabel however showed to be quite liberalish and forthstriden in gemeanwise fraigns. When she made thralldom unlawful, the High Brass of the Santacrusish Heere rose up against her in what is now known as the First Santacrusish Burghercrig. While the Brass was against the Caserine, the body of the soldiery were not. They withcalled her father, known as 'Fatherland Freewiller' or the Freewiller Caser, and they were willing to give the new Caserine their trust. Much more worthily, liberalish burghers and former thralls -a micklehood in Santa Crus- gave Isabel their backing. The burghercrig nevertheless went on for 6 years, and ended with the hanging of Theodore of Fonseca, befealsgiver and leader of the High Brass, in 1897.

The regearing of Isabel saw some showings of liberalism and freedom and the Forsamling was given more wealds at the cost of the Caserine's hold on the state, but upon Isabel's death and the crowning of her son Peter III, Santa Crus slowly came to fall out of folkweald. A reactionary, Peter III would back the stridecrafts -most weightily the Heere- which then took away many rights, made the Forsamling wealdless and then sidelined the Caser as the openbere turned its head at the Caser during the Great Worthship Crisis of 1928-32. After 1933, the regearing was all-but under the grip of Gerald Henric, an Angledanish general in the Santacrusish Heere. Henric began the 'New State' eld of Santa Crus' gesheede, and would throw Santacrus' lot with the Anti-Folkweald Pact in 1936, and overfell Santa Crus' greatest foe, Silverstream, in 1940 as part of the Twithe Great Crig. Silverstream's heeres were crushed in 1941 and Santa Crus would beset most of the streamlands of the Silverstream, going even as far south as Goodwinds, though they never crossed the Andish Berghs. Santa Crus would also help Frankriche overfall Netherlandish Suriman and Angledanish Georgeland, but send no troops to beset those overseagebedes, and when it became clear the Foroned Nations were going to win, they outhandled with the Allies and tostimmed to pull their soldiers from Silverstream and return to a Status Quo.

Henric, on behalf of the stridecrafts and the Caser, would weald for much longer until 1954. Later in his years, Henric would come to give back some freedoms that he and his forecomers had taken from the Santacrusers. Namely, he forended laws that had hindered pressfreedom, freedom of forsamling and other likewise rights of man, and even made tradebands lawful again. He also slowly came to give back grip to the Forsamling and the Caser, and it was thought that he would likely end his long ambstide upon putting an end to the stridely dictatorship. As such, the heere had him murdered in August 1954. This led to the Twithe Santacrusish Burghercrig where once again the upper stands of the heere fanded to bring about a dictatorish republic while the folk and the heere's body of soldiers fought against them to keep the Caserdom standing. This one was fought from 1954 to 1963 and ended with the Fordrawing of Januarystream, March 19, 1963. Caser Peter III who had lived through the fall, and rise, of democracy in Santacrus, died in 1964, beginning a new eld in that land under Caser Peter IV.

After 1963, Santa Crus saw great growth in GIP in the 1970s with the so-called 'Wonder of Santa Crus' thanks to bewighting many sectors of the worthship, but with it -and the regearing handouts to falling geselships- came geldforgreatening. At the same time, the land came to return to burgherly, democratish regearing after yeartens. Fernando João Diaz, The first Primeminister brought to his ambight by straightforward wale -rather than by say of the Forsamling- took his ambight in 1989. Diaz would fight against geldforgreatening for most of his years, which would go even as high as 25% some months in his early years. Not learning from their mistakes, Diaz and his aftercomer Cardoso would uphold freetrade and bewighting and handouts when said bewightings went earmly. As an outcome and even though following left-wing regearings have worked on bettering this, Santacrus still throes from highly unalike wealthoutlay. One out of every four Santacrusers lives on less than one dollar a day. Since 2002, a left-wing socialist Workers' Party (Lusitanish: Partido dos Trabalhadores) has held the regearing and the micklehood in the Forsamling's Gemeanshouse.

Regearing

Lawfully, Santa Crus is a democratish onehoodstate under a Grounded Caserdom. The Stateshead, Caser of Santa Crus (Caserine during the yeares of Isabel) holds his ambight through erfship where the oldest son, and if there are no sons oldest daughter, of the Caser will erfollow him upon his death on the throne. The Caser holding the throne now is Peter V (Pedro V in Lusitanish) from the line of Peter I of the house of Braganza. The Caser has the last say and holds the greatest grip over the national regearing and is plought to forsicker the unoffhanghood and standhood of the Santacrusish Nation. He has little say over the National Forsamling; he can call for its end or lengthen seatings but no Caser has done so since Peter III. Some other of his wealds onslot benaming bishops and righters and giving titles of ethelhood and aeremarks.

The Regearingshead of Santa Crus is its Primeminister. Unlike most grounded kingdoms, the Primeminister of Santa Crus is gewaled by the befolking, rather than by the lawmaking body. Namely, the Primeminister holds his ambight through a wholewale where both the two boughs of the Forsamling and he himself are gewaled. He is the head of the Ministersrede, a body that ambly give rede to the Caser who is the true Head of State but in truth have held the daily dealings of the regearing to their own since the time of Caserine Isabel. The Primeminister now is Guilherma de Sousa, Condessa de Porto Alegre, who is known outside of Santa Crus as the Greevine of Porto Alegre, from the Santacrusish Workers' Party.

The Lawmaking Body of Santa Crus is the National Forsamling (Lusitanish: Assembleia Nacional). The Forsamling can make, forend, bepale and behalt laws. It holds grip over the sceatcase and its say is needed for any spending. It holds the right to oversight on the regearing and its scolds, set the girth of the stridecrafts, ground new ambights in the regearing, oversee national welfare and forsicker the regearing is being ran as said in the Ground Law. Early in Santacrusish gesheede, the Upper House was not gewaled and instead benamed by the Caser. Nowadays, both houses (The Senate and the Gemeanshouse) are gewaled through wholewale: The first has 180 seats while the twithe has 643 seats.

The Ambly speech of Santa Crus is Lusitanish, and there are no smallhood speeches the regearing is meant to shield in any way whatsoever.

Befolking

Santa Crus has a befolking of around 210 million (25.12 inwoners for every foursideskilometres), where there are 95 women to every 100 men and where 83.75% of the befolking live in steads rather than thorpes. The befolking is mostly found in the southeaster (79.8 million) and northeaster (53.5 million) areas, while the two broadest areas (the centrewest and the north, which put together make 64.12% of all Santa Crus) have a befolking of 29.1 million. Santa Crus has a life erwalding of 72.6 years. Meanwhile 11.48% of the befolking can't read or write, though among the youth it's only 1.74%. Writelessness is higher in thorpely areas and lower in the burgherly areas.

Quoth the Santacrusish Regearing, 48.43% of the befolking call themselves white; 43.8% call themselves brown; 6.84% call themselves black; 0.58% call themselves yellow Eastasianer (ambly Yellow) and a further 0.28% find their roots to Wildlings and another 0.07% do not wish to name their folkgroups. There are about 67 thedes that do not have any forbinding to the greater menish cultures outside of their own small thorpes, the highest of its kind anywhere in the world. Most White Santacrusers are of Lusitanish roots as Lusitania was the land to forsettle and wander into that land. It is thought that from 1500 to 1808, half a million of them went to live in Santacrus, making them the only group to settle in that land during its colonial eld. After unoffhanghood, Lusitaners would still wander into the land, but outside of Lusitania, most White Santacrusers can line their root to Italy but also Hispania and Deochland. Most Brown Santacrusers are Mixlings born to thralls, settlers or the inlander Wildlings of Santa Crus. Santa Crus has the twithe greatest Judish gemeanship in all Latinish Americanish lands, making up to 0.06% of the whole land's befolking.

As with most lands settled by folk from the Iberish Halfieland, the greatest belief in Santa Crus is Romish Catholicish Christendom. Santa Crus has the world's micklest Catholicish befolking. Around 64.63% of the land are Catholicish. Meanwhile, a further 22.2% are Anewed Christers, 5.2% are belong to 'other Churches' and 8% are godless.

Worthship

Santa Crus has the greatest worthship in Latinish America and the twelvth greatest in the world. It has a mixed market worthship with manifold rawstuff. The Landwork, berghwork, herestelling and thenstectors have a workstrength of over 107 million while worklessness is at 6.2%. Santa Crus outfares $217.7 billion by year, mostly flytugs, steel, machinery, fare-outresting, wagons, wagonparts, footwear, industrial alcohol, sugar, coffee, taback and foodstuff, which it mostly ships to Deochland, Lusitania, Silverstream and Japan -most weightily, it is one of the few lands with a GIP above 1 trillion that has any trade dealings with China. Meanwhile its $150.27 billions of infares are mostly machinery, electrish- and fare-outresting, chemish products, earthoil, wagonparts and electronics, which it also ships from Deochland, the Danelaw, New England and Silverstream. Santa Crus' geld is the Santacrusish Real, while Sanct Paul is its wealthcenter.

Santa Crus has been forgreatening its beinghood in world wealth- and goodsmarket. It has been the greatest producer of coffee for the last 150 years. Landwork and its daughter industries make for 5.1% of the GIP. Santa Crus is the greatest producer of many farming goods, but also has a aworking sector that makes 50% of all the food in the land. In 2019, Santa Crus was the greatest outfarer of chicken meat, the twithe greatest of cowmeat, the third greatest producer of milk, the fourth greatest producer of swinemeat and the seventh greatest producer of eggs in the world.

In berghwork, Santacrus stands out in digging out iron, copper, gold, bauxite, manganese, niobium, tin and nickel. Namely, it is the twithe greatest outfarer of iron, one of the 5 producers of bauxite, manganese and tin, and it holds 95% of all niumbium known to the world. It also digs many sheenstones.

Herestelling makes for 30.8% of the gross inlandsproduct; making wagons, steel and burnstuff to tollva, flytugs and long-living goods. Herestelling plants are found in steadings like Sanct Paul, Januarystream, Meadows, Gleehaven and Belo Horizonte. Santa Crus is the fourth greatest wagon market in the world, while other great herestellwise outfares of the land inhold flytugs, electrish outresting, wagons, industrialish alcohol clothes, and footwear.

The third sector (trade and thenst) makes for 75.8% of the GIP. Thenst brings forth 60% of the GIP while trade makes for 13%. Trade, foodwork, faring, forbinding, wealth-thenst, landsale and thensts given to businesses, openbere regearing (namely burgherly cleaning) and other thensts like schooling, gemean- and healththenst, forkenning and onwicking, sportwork, etc. are some of the daughter-industries of this sector. Small businesses make 30% of the land's GIP.

Santacrus is the tenth greatest craft-spending land in the world, with 75% of its craft coming from anewbere roots, namely watercraft and alcohol. The Itaipu Dam is the world's greatest watercraftwork while other craftworks like Belo Monte also help in the land's needed craft. The first wagon to run on alcohol was shaped in 1978, while the first flytug to do the same was built in 2005.

Sightseeing is a growing sector and key to the worthship of many parts of the land. Santa Crus had 6.36 million sightseers in 2015, ranking as the main markle for sightseers in Southamerica and the twithe in Latinish America after New Hispania. Incomes from sightseers made $6.8 billion in 2010 and was part of how the land made a comeback from its 2008-2009 Worthshipcrisis. Roughly 6.6 million folk come to see Santacrus every year.

Stridecrafts

Thanks to its befolking, the Caserly Stridecrafts of Santa Crus are the micklest in Latninsh America by personnel and in outresting. It is made of the Caserly Santacrusish Heere, the Caserly Santacrusish Marine and the Caserly Santacrusish Loftmight. As Santacrus has a nationaldraft, it has one of the micklest stridecrafts in the world with more than 1.6 million reservists.

With 236,000 soldiers in active thenst, the Caserly Heere has the greatest toll of rystinged faretugs in Southamerica, inholding rystinged manshipwagons and pancers. It has a mickle onhood known for its ungemean plights, the Santacrusish Sunfercrafts Command and the Strategish Wayly Ongripe Command which is made up of the Sundercrafts Brigade, the Loftborne Infantry Brigade, the 1st Wealdinfantry Battalion and the 12th Lightinfantry Brigade, which can fight anywhere in the land to fight outlander ongripe. The Caserly Marine is the twithe greatest in the world. Once, it had two dreadnaughts which set forth the dreadnaught wedleap in Southamerica. Now, it does not thane outside of the Caserdom's own seamarks. It is one of the two marines in Southamerica to have a flydeckship in the world, the Atlantico. The Caserly Loftmight is meanwhile the greatest in Latinish America and has 700 manned flytugs and 67,000 soldiers.

Santacrus has not been overfallen by a foe since the Parawayish Crig. It has landstrifes with only one of its neighbors, but it has had no fiendhoods ever since the Fordrawing of Goodwinds made forbindings between Silverstream and Santa Crus normal after the Twithe Great Crig. As such, Santa Crus mostly sends its stridecrafts on OFN-led frithbringing, namely in Insulindia, Middleafricanish Republic and Haiti.
