你好！ 欢迎来到山国！ ネｲ ホｳ！ フﾝイﾝ ラｲドｳ サﾝヲｸ！ Hello! Welcome to Monsilva!
Monsilva (Monsilvan: 山国; pinyin: Shānguó), officially the Monsilvan Republic, is a country in central Ostlandet, with Akvarelusus and Girisko to the north, Baltanla to the west, Byasa and Zloveshchiy to the south, and the Kivu Ocean to the east. The territory of Monsilva is split up into 15 states. The nation consists of mountain ranges dominating the western side of the country, whereas plains and coastal areas dominate the east, where its highly urbanised population is concentrated. The capital, Amking, forms along the southern part of the Monsilvan coast. Other major cities include Luhai, San Kong, Maojie, Menchi, and Shangrao. Monsilva has just over 58 million inhabitants.
The Monsilvan Republic is a member of the Ostlandet Union, ROKO, COEC, and the Guishan Commonwealth. In the 1990s, Monsilva co-founded ROKO alongside Kivu, Gjorka, Girisko and Paleocacher. Thanks to this alliance, Monsilva has been able to establish strong economic and political relations with its member nations. In 2022, Monsilva was a founding member of the Ostlandet Union, through which it has developed stronger relations with its fellow nations on Ostlandet, particularly in the lead up to the OU military intervention in Shaoyu. As of February 2023, Monsilva's export-oriented economy is Terraconserva's 11th largest by nominal gross domestic product (GDP); it has a very high human development index; and has a score of 8.68 in the Global Democracy Index, defining it as a full democracy. Monsilva also performs highly in education, healthcare and life-expectancy.
The Monsilvan Republic, being a federal state, consists of 15 individual political entities known as states (Monsilvan: 州, Pinyin: Zhōu). Each state holds governmental juristiction over a specific geographic territory of Monsilva where it shares sovereignty with the federal government. Federalism was an important aspect that was discussed by the provisional government when the Monsilvan Republic was being founded after the mass protests in 1978. According to the federal government, some topics, such as foreign affairs and defence, are the exclusive responsibility of the federation (i.e., the federal level), while others fall under the shared authority of the states and the federation. The states retain residual or exclusive legislative authority for all other areas, including "culture", which in Monsilva includes not only topics such as the financial promotion of arts and sciences, but also most forms of education and job training (see Education in Monsilva). Though international relations including international treaties are primarily the responsibility of the federal level, the constituent states have certain limited powers in this area: in matters that affect them directly, and in areas where they have the legislative authority they have limited powers to conclude international treaties "with the consent of the federal government".
Shaoyu, as a free state is the only outlier state in the federation. Unlike Monsilva's other 14 states, Shaoyu has far more power over matters that involve them, such as the ability of the executive government of Shaoyu is permitted to represent the state internationally without permission from the federal government. Shaoyu is also the only state permitted to lawfully pass legislation that goes against federal law, for example, in a hypothetical scenario where the Monsilvan government declares mandatory conscription, the Shaoyunese government is permitted to pass legislation prohibiting residents of the state from being conscripted.
