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'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.

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 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.

===Foreign relations=== | ===Foreign relations=== | ||
Stenza has started setting up relations with various nations ever since it has opened its borders, with economic or strategic value often being cited as the reason for these relations. One notable example is [[Arcerion]], a nation that over the last few years has become a close ally of Stenza. Stenzan-Arcer military cooperation has become frequent, and trade between both nations is both frequent and profitable. [[Corumm]] is another foreign partner of Stenza, with the nations sharing a colonial history that goes back hundreds of years. Stenza has also been doing business with [[Urcea]] on subjects such as trade and international maritime security. | |||
Stenza is a member state of the [[League of Nations]] and has a seat on the [[League of Nations General Assembly]]. Stenza has also been appointed a rotating seat for 2026 on the [[League of Nations Security Council]]. | |||
===Human rights=== | ===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. | Stenza's citizens enjoy relatively fair human rights.

==Economy== | ==Economy== | ||
Stenza's economy has grown considerably over the last few years, with foreign trade being a major contributor to the rise of Stenza's economy. The opening of international borders has led to a healthy flow of good both into and out of Stenza. The GDP per Capita in Stenza has grown by 13% in the last two years and is predicted to climb further, with households gaining more income to spend as the cost of living in Stenza remains relatively low. | |||
==Infrastructure== | ==Infrastructure== | ||
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. | 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.

==Culture== | ==Culture== | ||
Stenza's culture draws a lot from two distinct sources: Its Polynesian nature as an island state, and the influence Corumm has had on its culture during the colonial era. As an effect of this, Stenzans frequently have Polynesian given names and Corummese surnames, or vice versa. Emphasis has been placed on Stenza's Polynesian heritage over the last few years however, with Stenza aiming to characterize itself as a center of Polynesian culture. | |||
