The '''Unnuaq Mission State''' | The '''Unnuaq Mission State''' was a country in [[Cusinaut]]. The country was formed out of a region populated by eighteen [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] missions and the towns that sprang up around them. Though the missions have existed in the Unnuaq region for centuries, the political apparatus of the territory only began in the 2010s as the Unnuaq exclusion area mandated under the [[Treaty of Narasseta]]. The eighteen missions in the region began to see to self-governance as a league of mission-town governments, but the end of the treaty threatened both the newly fledgling government and the missions themselves. The [[Armed Forces of the Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea]] assumed control of the exclusion zone during [[Operation Mission Shield]], which was primarily launched to ensure the security of the mission zone. Following months of military occupation, the local missions received sufficient guarantees from Urcea and declared their independence on 2 May 2017. The country was a formal protectorate of [[Urcea]], and the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]] is invested as Protector-General of the country, a largely symbolic executive position within the Mission State's domestic governance. The Unnuaq Mission State was a member of the [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association]]. | ||

The State's existence as a theocratic confederation and the lack of significant electoral input ran contrary to the stated goals of [[NSTA]], though it was granted several exceptions by that organization. By [[2028]], Urcea committed to help guiding the country to self-governance while allowing the missions to return to their primarily religious objectives.

The Unnuaq Mission State | The Unnuaq Mission State was a federal republic based on the territorial jurisdictions of the eighteen [[Catholic Church]] missions within the country. Its government existed from the early 2010s, though it only became formalized following the country's independence in 2017. Each of the eighteen missions was administered by a Abbot-General, who is the overall administrator of the mission area in addition to being the abbot of the central monastic mission community. These Abbot-Generals were subject to the appointment of their religious order, making administration within the country fluid. In order to ensure continuity of operations given the unusual nature of religious life in the Mission State, the religious orders in charge of the missions typically assigned priests or monks already in the Unnuaq region as Abbot-General. Within each mission, the Abbot-General functioned as executive administrator, and in lieu of an official executive agency, the operations of the monastic community under his purview functioned as the governing bureaucracy of a mission in addition to many other responsibilities. Within each mission, the Abbot-General oversaw a Popular Committee, a consultant body of local notables and citizens responsible for providing popular input into the affairs of government. Unlike traditional governing apparatus, public administration was largely a collaborative work between the local monastic communities and the local population. Police responsibilities were initially done by local militias, but after independence the country collaborated with the [[Armed Forces of the Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea]] to employ military police in combination with local neighborhood watch programs in order to enforce local laws. The [[Apostolic King of Urcea]] served as Protector-General, a nominal {{wp|head of state}} role of the nation, though it had few official roles within the state apparatus. | ||
Each of the eighteen Abbot-Generals | Each of the eighteen Abbot-Generals met several times per year in an institution known as the All-Mission Council. The All-Mission Council served as the legislature for the Unnuaq Mission State, though in practice much of the responsibility of governing was handled at the mission level. After independence, the Council had been responsible for ratifying treaties and was additionally responsible for regulating the State's relationship with Urcea and others. The Unnuaq Mission State had a very small central government, consisting of the All-Mission Council, the Counsel to the Missions, the Trade Administration Board, and the Defense Administration Board, which combined made up approximately 150 full time employees. The Personnel Administration Board, not an official "government agency" but the human resources and personnel division of the government overseeing the other parts of the central government, consistently had an additional 15 employees. Not including members of the country's defense force, priests, or the Abbots themselves, the government had no more than 165 administrative personnel. | ||

The Unnuaq Mission State was unique in Crona for its religious demographics; as of 2017, it was the only state to have a Catholic majority besides New Harren, and it was the only semi-independent state to have a Catholic majority. The foundation and nature of the Mission State was largely responsible for the Catholic population, and consequently the urban areas that were established surrounding Catholic missions were overwhelmingly Catholic.
