The Solstice Federation, commonly known as Solstice, is a semi-direct democratic republic that was founded in September 2022. Solstice is bordered by Fegal to the west, TAY to the north, and the Union of Soviet Sovereign Republics in the east. The nation's capital is the city-province Firefly, which houses all federal government infrastructure.

Provinces and settlements

The Solstice Federation consists of five provinces:

• Firefly
• Dozhda
  • Szki Lanes
• Bohemia
  • Prehevil
  • Soutok
• Sleebieville

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

The Solstice Federation also contains a large southern landmass, undistributed and unused currently.

Since the ratification of the Third Federal Constitution, the Solstice Federation has been a republic with elements of a direct democracy.
