Hsin's presidency has been a step in the right direction for Stenza so far, with many decrees being signed in the first months to continue breaking down oppressive entities of the previous regime, a process the interim government had started. Stenzan borders opened a week few months before Hsin took office, with businesses from around the world being invited to explore Stenza as a market. Stenza now has an infantile tourism industry and multiple airports are being renovated to accommodate frequent international travel comfortably. With Stenza's new outlook on international trade, the relatively cheap Stenzan metals and oil have become a product available to all who wish to import it. Early estimates indicate that Stenza's economy may grow larger than it ever has as a result of these reforms and the start of large scale international trade, with reports indicating that the per capita GDP could grow to $35,000 or even $40,000 by early 2025. | Hsin's presidency has been a step in the right direction for Stenza so far, with many decrees being signed in the first months to continue breaking down oppressive entities of the previous regime, a process the interim government had started.

==Geography== | ==Geography== | ||
Stenza's geography is characterized by high mountain ranges, leading to most of the population living near the vast lengths of coast Stenza has to offer. Rivers and lakes are plentiful down Stenza's mountains, providing the farmers who dare settling on the hilly terrain with plenty of land to grow their produce. | |||

Stenza is a {{wp|Federal state|Federal}} {{wp|presidential system|presidential}} {{wp|constitutional republic}}, with president [[Iakopo Hsin]] currently holding the office. The Stenzan president is aided by the Democratic Congress, a legislative body that consists of both an upper and lower house. The houses are referred to as the First and Second Council of the Stenzan Democratic Congress respectively, with new laws having to pass through the second house before going through the first. The president still has to sign off on anything passing the houses, and reserves the constitutional to veto bills and sign into effect emergency bills that are not approved by the congress. The Upper Council consists of 100 seats, while the lower has 200. | Stenza is a {{wp|Federal state|Federal}} {{wp|presidential system|presidential}} {{wp|constitutional republic}}, with president [[Iakopo Hsin]] currently holding the office.

Stenza's government is highly centralized, with most of the previous totalitarian systems still in place. Regional governments have little autonomy beyond purely regional matters, and the federal government is strongly present throughout the country thanks to regional offices. | Stenza's government is highly centralized, with most of the previous totalitarian systems still in place.

Stenzan law has historically been reported as rather fair, with the few outside studies on it indicating it as criminally harsh, yet fair on a civil level. Stenzan law enforcement has been historically known to act outside the law though, with mass imprisonment and disappearances not being uncommon under the previous regime. These practices have recently been outlawed under the new government however, and Stenzan state media has reported that those imprisoned under the old regime have been released and reimbursed. | Stenzan law has historically been reported as rather fair, with the few outside studies on it indicating it as criminally harsh, yet fair on a civil level.

Stenza's other main law enforcement agency is the [[Stenza Internal Forces]], this military branch, under the supervision of both the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, acts as a paramilitary force capable of both enforcing Stenzan law and defending the country. The force is both highly mechanized and fully militarized, sporting military uniforms, weaponry and vehicles. These forces were previously known as the Civil Peacekeeping Force, used by the previous regime as a device of terror. | Stenza's other main law enforcement agency is the [[Stenza Internal Forces]], this military branch, under the supervision of both the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, acts as a paramilitary force capable of both enforcing Stenzan law and defending the country.

===Human rights=== | |||
Stenza's citizens enjoy relatively fair human rights. Both same sex marriage and soft drugs have been allowed since the 1970s, with government-owned vendors selling safe soft drugs to all who are deemed medically fit and capable of buying them with a permit issued by their general practitioner to prevent addiction. Stenza has been known for its complete gender equality, a trait that dates back to its tribal heritage where both men and women were considered equally capable of filling leadership roles. Healthcare in Stenza is freely accessible to all who are insured, with insurance providers being subject to regulations to keep the prices in check. | |||
Stenzans have not traditionally enjoyed the right to elect their own government, with only one party appearing on the voting ballots for decades. This has changed recently, and the Stenzan population is now able to vote once every four years. The shift in Stenza's government has also removed the fear to speak up against the government, with free speech being praised by the new president. | |||
Sanitation is freely available in Stenza, and people are well fed. Government censuses show that 93% of Stenza's adults are literate. The same census shows that 42% of Stenza's adults speak more than one language, with a secondary language being mandatory in Stenzan high schools. Higher Education is not free in Stenza, but those wishing to pursue higher education can do so through a low-interest loan. Student grants are also widely available in Stenza, with future employers willing to pay for competent candidates' studies. The Stenzan government makes wide use of this system to find future civil servants and military officers. | |||

Stenza enjoys a vast if not very efficient road network, with most minor settlements at least having one paved road loading to the major networks. Roads are not always well maintained however, and they get more treacherous the further one gets into the mountains. To compensate for the sometimes questionable quality of road travel, domestic air travel is widespread. Domestic flights amount for a large portion of Stenza's east-west travel each year, and even the remotest mountain community tends to have some sort of access to air travel, be it fixed or rotary wing. | |||
