Political tenets:
No state religion, the government can't dictate what happens in any religion, and vice versa.
The death penalty is only for the most serious of crimes, such as mass murder.
The right to bear arms shall not be restricted in any way, shape, or form.
Religion, race, gender, or sexual orientation may not constitute as a reason for denying or terminating employment in any government agency.
Line of succession is Grand Chancellor, Vice Chancellor, Madame Chancellor, Chief Foreign Affairs Officer, and General of the Army.
Civil services:
There are several state funded hospitals in the nation, mostly located in major cities in the nation. In addition, there are police outposts in most backwater towns. Citizens may band to form neighborhood watches if they like, however approval must be earned from an outpost captain. There is a form of welfare, however the welfare is a bit meager as it was introduced recently, and benefits decrease the longer a recipient is unemployed.

Culture: The culture of the country revolves around self-improvement and a heavy emphasis on learning. Children are taught from an early age to care for those sick and hurt, and to help themselves and not to rely on others when they can do it themselves. Most of the country is generally very friendly and will help strangers with anything they need, and more than willing to talk to those they do not know. The mornings are filled with song and cheer from the rooftop maidens who do laundry, and reek of strong cigars and tea. Afternoons are spent doing whatever one needs to do and large lunch groups in bars or cafes alive with chatter are common. As the sun sets, parties and other social gatherings are common, if one needs to do extra work or watch children they may do so. When night falls, everyone falls asleep and the process is repeated.
Religion
State religion:
N O N E
Religious groups:
Since the Republic is near the coast, religious groups come and go, but one real religion that at least 75% of the country identify as is Kastocolism. It is monotheistic with one God, and it proclaims that God is an artist who made the world and the laws and patterns that inhabit it. God rarely interacts with the daily lives of people unless they call to him for strength or for healing. Prayers for earthly want are ignored and only those who seek to get closer to Him will be answered. There is no central authority however missions and churches are spread about the nation that serve as places of worship, prayer, discussion, healing, and recovery. These are headed by Frers appointed by the community and they are allowed to marry.
Economics
Economy:
Typical Capitalist economy, the stock market exists, and companies provide goods and services that the government can't provide, like clothes or bricks. You get the message.
Infrastructure:
There are many strong bridges in the FRS, capable of holding thousands of pounds of people and equipment. The idea of a country-wide railroad is appealing to the Chancellor, however the manpower to undertake a project is what is holding such an idea back. Ships are used extensively to transport cargo into the main capital and other coastal parts of the country, and cart wagons driven by horses and mules are common as well.
Military
Army:
Consisting of 300,000 units, the Army of the Republic is considered one of the most battle hardened in the world, considering the history of the nation. The idea of the "Universal Infantryman" is what helped break the stalemate in the Revolution. This idea is that the Infantryman should be taught to excel in as many areas as possible: from marksmanship to cooking. This lessens the strain of having specialized units and allows more men to be recruited. The Army fields the Gasden Rifle: A bullpup, state of the art infantry rifle that chambers in .308 Berthier. Another tactic that helped win The Revolution was the idea of the Universal Infantry Rifle and the embrace of bullets over muskets and swords. The Gasden Rifle can be cut down into a carbine if need be, and a sniper scope can be attached to it enhance accuracy.
