Liamosia

Liamosia, officially the United Republic of Liamosia, is a country in Central Eastworld that borders the Big Ocean to the west, the North Liamosian Sea to the north, the East Liamosian Sea to the east, and the South Liamosian Sea to the south. With a population of 421.9 million, Liamosia is the most populous country in the Sol System. Liamosia is a federation of 13 states, one federal district, and four Special Administrative Regions.

Etymology
The name "Liamosia" was coined by Charles Abernathy, founder of Abersburg, at the Freedom Fighters conference in Kalhumanifari on 9 July 2025. The name originates from the name of President Liam Craddock, his first name being the basis.

Native Aliens and Earthans Meet
In 2001, the Old Earth began to die. As a result, the United States, Russia, China, and several other countries began to send out spaceships to search for a new home. The British ship found a habitable planet that was named "New Earth". But there was a problem: the planet was already inhabited.

Troops landed on the surface in order to search for any hostilities. They found an entire civilization of "Aliens" living in what is now Liamosia. The Aliens attacked the troops, so they began firing their weapons into the city. Everyone of the Aliens died, and 15 out of 97 British troops died.

Settlements
After the Aliens died off, the British began to settle the fertile lands. The first city they set up was originally called Kalhumanifari by the Aliens, which means "home city". The name stuck, and would remain that way until it would be renamed Liamosia City in 2025.

Other settlements popped up across the plain, including Baytown, Megalos, and Anemos. But the largest settlement was called Tradetown, due to it being a large area of commerce. It was set up in 2004 by a group of British troops, and had prospered much since its founding. In 2015 the group of colonists to the north, who would become the Garrenese, forcefully annexed Tradetown. The colonists in Liamosia ignored the takeover, and instead continued on with their lives.

The Foundation of Liamosia
On February 23, 2017, the French colonies, the British colonies, and the American colonies decided to form one nation, known as the Union of Colonial States (UCS). They had an extremely oppressive government, and by 2021, a rebel cell had formed in Kalhumanifari, known as the Freedom Fighters. Their leader: a tech-savvy 22-year old physicist/strategist from Kalhumanifari named Liam Craddock. He organized a deal with another rebel cell in the north known as the Peoplists, whose leader was Craddock's best friend, Jacob Garren. In 2024, they began a year-long war against their colonial leaders. On 2025, the Freedom Fighters and the Peoplists began a huge siege on Tradetown, the UCS capital. The UCS surrendered on 8 June, and the two rebel groups won independence. But, they agreed that: # Tradetown would go to the Peoplists. # The Baytown Colony would go to the Freedom Fighters. # All the islands of the southern colony would go to the Freedom Fighters. After that, the Freedom Fighters created a new country. But the problem was they couldn't agree on what to call it. Craddock's top general, Charles Abernathy, suggested Liamosia on Craddock's first name, Liam. The idea was accepted and the new nation of Liamosia was created on 28 July 2025. On the same day, Craddock became the Liamosian president.

The Aidanland War
After independence, Liamosia began to discover that there were major threats to the world forming everywhere. The biggest one the country noticed was the nation of Aidanland. Aidanland was ruled by a tyrannical dictator named Aidan Sheahan, who oppressed and tortured his people. Liamosia, along with newfound allies Garrenland (the Peoplists) and Zanesia, a lunar nation, planned to overthrow Sheahan's government and split up the island between them. Joining the alliance was Marcosia, another totalitarian state, but at least a friendly one. On 28 October 2025, the plan was executed, and Sheahan shot himself in the Presidential Palace in Aidan City. The island was split into two sides, West and East, with Garrenland controlling the west, and Liamosia controlling the east.

The two sides were supposed to gain independence, but Garrenland wanted to keep their side (and was prepared to take military action to do so), and the East Aidanese wanted to remain under Liamosian control. Plans to reunify the island were abandoned, and the island remains a divided dependency to this day.

Marcosia then demanded a piece of Aidanland to compensate for helping in the invasion. Garrenland and Liamosia each gave up a piece of land, which would become North Aidanland. Then, Liamosia retook its piece with military force, and forced Marcosia to retreat from the island.

The Marcosian War
Liamosia had since prospered from the Aidanland War, and had gained many colonies around the world. But Marcosia, a small island nation ruled by Marcus Garber, was posing a huge threat to world security, and was ready to fight with 1.3 million troops defending the coastline. So, Liamosia, Garrenland, and Zanesia formulated a plan to take out the nation, with 9.8 million troops combined (4.7 million Liamosian, 3.2 million Garrenese, and 1.9 million Zanesian). Lorien and Pinappolis, two relatively new nations, wanted in on the action, too. Lorien contributed 3.5 million troops, and Pinappolis contributed 2.3 million, bringing the total number to 15.6 million troops. On 23 January 2026, the plan was executed.

Marcus Garber, who knew the Allies would defeat him, decided to shoot himself once they reached the doors of the Marcosian Dictatorial Hall where he lived. After it was taken over on 2 February, the island was split into five, and the world was safe. For now...

Population
The most recent Liamosian Census data collecting estimated the population to be at 421,866,000. Liamosia stands as the populous country in the world, above Garrenland (2nd) and Tacosia-Milkland (3rd).

By race, Liamosia's population is fairly homogeneous. White people make up the majority at 73.2% of the total population. However, the black population makes up a significant portion, at 12.4%. Next in line is the Asian (counting people who are Terosian, Kuni Salonian, and Gangeian) population, at 5.9%. Fourth is the multiracial population, at 3.1%. And finally, the "Other" category constitutes people who do not fit in the four Liamosian race categories. This is mostly made up of Alienese, who are considered citizens only if they are born within the realm of Liamosia.

Liamosians are, technically, due to genetic enhancement, are a separate race from humans, having the scientific name Homo sapiens liamosius rather than Homo sapiens sapiens.This is often disregarded though still brought up on occasion.

By ethnicity, Liamosia is again fairly homogeneous. People of Liamosian ethnicity make up 81.1% of the population. Empirans rank in at second, making up 8.9%. Tacosians are third, making up 3.2%. Next is the "Other" category, which includes Kuni Salonians, Milklandians, Terosians, Gangeians, Somewherelsians, Lorics, Pinappolins, Pedonians, Racistians, Balackans, Teritukians, and many more.

Language
All people who are citizens or are becoming citizens are required to speak the Liamosian language, as it is the official language. However, 99.6% of Liamosians have Liamosian as their first language. Alienese is a recognised language, spoken by .2% of the population. Other languages are spoken at home by many, including Garrenese (a variant form of Liamosian), Tacosian, Somewherelsian, and Kuni Salonian.

Religion
There is no state religion in Liamosia, in accordance with Article VI, Section I of the Articles of Liamosia. 99.9% of the population is atheistic, with religious groups being the minority, the opposite of Liamosia's neighbour to the north, Garrenland. Buddhism makes up the largest religious minority, at .06% of the population. Jainism and Sikhism make up together .03% of the population, and the "Other" category makes up the remainder.

Christianity has become non-existent in Liamosia, without government interference. Along with Islam and Hinduism, it has become a has-been of religious belief in the country, with Asian philosophy such as Confucianism, Taoism, and Shintoism making up most of the "Other" category. Judaism, surprisingly, makes up the remainder of the other category.

Liamosia is also the one and only nation where non-religion outweighs religious belief.

Government and Politics
(Liamosia is the oldest democracy in FictionEarth, btw.)

Liamosia is a unicameral federal constitutional presidential republic with a representative democracy. The government, similar to the British and American governments, is regulated by a system of checks and balances between government branches. Liamosia ranked first on the Global Democracy Index and last on the Corruption Index.

In the Liamosian federal system, citizens are usually subject to three levels of government: federal, state, and local. (in the Special Administrative Regions, it skips directly from federal to local.) The local government usually takes form as the city or county government. The state government controls the local government's decisions. The federal government is then there to keep them all in check. It is divided into three branches: Legislative: The unicameral Parliament, makes federal laws, approves treaties and war declarations, holds the power of the purse, creates the federal budget, approve Court of Justice appointments. Executive: Chancellor, signs bills, declares war, can veto bills, appoints Advisory Council members; Advisory Council, advises the Chancellor, can veto executive actions with a majority vote. Judicial: Court of Justice; determines if laws are constitutional or unconstitutional. The Parliament has 105 members, each representing either a state, Special Administrative Region, incorporated territory, unincorporated territory, or the capital city. Each state has five members, SARs get three, incorporated territories get two, unincorporated territories get one, and Liamosia City gets four.

State and territorial governments are structured the same way. The chief executives of states are known as Dukes, and executives of territories are known as Earls. The chief executives of the SARs are called Mayors.

Geography
Political Liamosia is an island nation, and it only has one border, with Hybiranea by means of the incorporated territory of South Hybiranea.
