~~[[Solstice]], officially the [[Solstice|Federal Democracy of Solstice]]~~, is a ~~country~~ that was founded in September 2022. Solstice is bordered by [[Fegal]] to the west, ~~something~~ to the north and ~~something even worse~~ in the east. The nation's capital is the city-province [[Firefly]] which houses all federal government infrastructure.

=== Provinces and settlements ===

The ~~Federal Democracy of Solstice~~ consists of ~~following~~ provinces ~~and settlements~~:

The Solstan Federation consists of six provinces:

* [[Firefly]]

* [[Dozhda]]

** [[Szki Lanes]]

** Novaya

* [[Bohemia]]

** [[Prehevil]]

** [[Soutok]]

** Obtok

** Elektrárna

** Vištuk

* [[Sleebieville]]

** Lavender

** Fernweh

** Swamp City

** June Hills

* [[Othoroot]]

* [[Purple, Inc.]]

Provinces have a lot of freedom in regards to policies and laws as the Solstan Federation is a non-restrictive federation.

~~Provinces have~~ a ~~lot of freedom in regards to policies~~ and ~~laws as the federal government of Solstice is very weak (jk~~, ~~fix this pls)~~.

The Solstan Federation also contains a large southern landmass, mostly undistributed and unused currently. However, there are plans to establish a shared province.

=== Government and politics ===

~~something something~~ [[~~User:Raina|Raina~~]] ~~head~~ of ~~state~~

Solstice is a federal parliamentary republic. The country ratified the [[Third Federal Constitution]] in 2023, which removed many aspects of direct democracy. Direct democracy still exists in the form of referendums, recalls, and initiatives. Before the [[Third Federal Constitution]], the federal government could only pass legislation if a majority of voting citizens nation-wide agreed to it.
