'''Anserisa''' (<small>Anserisan pronunciation :</small> [ɑ̃səʁiza]) officially the '''Republic of Anserisa''' (Anserisan : ''Republica d'Anserisa'', <small>Anserisan pronunciation :</small> [ʁepyblika d'ɑ̃səʁiza]) is small archipelago nation located in the [[The South Pacific (Pacifica)|South Pacific]] and located on the western side of the [[Rainbow Islands (Pacifica)]], located near [[Winston Island (Pacifica)|Winston Island]] of the [[Valkyria (Pacifica)|Valkyrian Republic]], the [[Holy Free (Pacifica)|Kingdom of Holy Free]] and the [[Frost (Pacifica)|Frost Empire]].

Composed of one main island, [[Geography of Anserisa (Pacifica)|Branta]] and the two smaller islands of [[Geography of Anserisa (Pacifica)|Haliétusa]] and [[Geography of Anserisa (Pacifica)|Rubecula]], it covers an area of 5, 446 square kilometres (2, 103 sq mi) and has a tropical climate. It's largest city and capital is [[List of cities in Anserisa (Pacifica)|Brantavilla]] while [[List of cities in Anserisa (Pacifica)|Concordia]] serves as the country's industrial center.

The first recorded history of the Anserisan people begins in 1201 with the establishment of the [[Three Counties of the Northern Isles (Pacifica)|County of Stanno]] and the subsequent formation of the [[Three Counties of the Northern Isles (Pacifica)|County of Stibia]] and the [[Three Counties of the Northern Isles (Pacifica)|County of Hydrargyro]] and the period known has the [[Three Counties of the Northern Isles (Pacifica)|Three Counties of the Northern Isles]] which united to form the [[Principality of Anserisa (Pacifica)|Principality of Anserisa]] with the coronation of [[List of leaders of Anserisa (Pacifica)|Prince Stéphano I]] on 2 June 1443. After failed the failed [[1st Republican Revolution of Anserisa (1790-1792) (Pacifica)|Republican Revolution of 1790-1792]] on 9 April 1792, [[List of leaders of Anserisa (Pacifica)|Emperor Hadriano]] proclaimed the [[Anserisan Empire (Pacifica)|Anserisan Empire]] which lasted until the [[2nd Republican Revolution of Anserisa (1810-1815) (Pacifica)|Republican Revolution of 1810-1815]] which saw the creation of the [[Republic of Anserisa (Pacifica)|Republic of Anserisa]] on 21 September 1815.

Today, Anserisa is a [[unitary state|unitary]] [[democratic]] [[parliamentary system|parliamentary]] [[republic]] led by a [[President of Anserisa (Pacifica)|President]]. It is a developed nation that offers social security, with a well-funded public education and universal health care. It is also known for its extensive ''Declaration of Rights'' which protects a significant number of rights and contains extended non-discrimination dispositions.<ref>''Anserisan Declaration of Rights Act : ACR-1995-01'' (1995). Office of the Legislative Documents of Anserisa, Brantavilla.</ref>

==Etymology==

The name for Anserisa comes from the princely ''[[Royal houses of Anserisa (Pacifica)|House of Anserisa]]'' which unified the three counties in 1443 and ruled from 1443-1700 and 1713-1792.

==History==
:''Main article: [[History of Anserisa (Pacifica)|History of Anserisa]]''

Proof of inhabitants from before 1201 has been found in many places on all three islands but significantly on [[Geography of Anserisa|Haliétusa]]. It is thought that these people were nomadic and seafarers that moved from islands to islands since traces of similar items were found on the surrounding islands of the [[Rainbow Islands (Pacifica)|Rainbow Islands]].

===Three Counties of the Northern Isles===

Before 1201, the islands were controlled by various clans and families, in 1201, the Brantum family emerged as the most prosperous family on the island of Branta and conquered the other families, establishing the County of Stanno on the island of the same name. This process was soon followed on the other islands, inspired by the success of the Brantum family, the Haliétusum family established the County of Stibia in 1234 on the island of Haliétusa and the Rubeculum family established the County of Hydrargyro in 1310 on the island of Rubecula. This is seen as the last event founding the period known today as the ''Three Counties of the Northern Isles''.

The counties had few relations among themselves, centred mostly around the arranged marriages which guaranteed a relative peace on the islands with the three counties. On 24th March 1387, the three counties met in Concordia and established the Treaty of Envoys, which is considered as the first founding document of Anserisa. It established the first integrated political structure with the Council of Envoys with representatives sent from each county meeting twice a year, which became the basis for the [[Council of Regions of Anserisa (Pacifica)|Council of Regions]], equal in numbers, the Envoys had discussions on matters that affected the three islands as a whole and vetoed decisions taken by any county that would disrupt the peace on the islands. By 1421, this system proved to be somewhat inefficient, especially with the County of Stanno gaining more power over the others with its technological advance and especially its port. This grew into tensions which exploded when [[List of leaders of Anserisa (Pacifica)|Count Augusto of Stanno]] died on 2nd December 1433. With his son being only 6 years old, and the appointment of an incompetent regent, [[List of leaders of Anserisa (Pacifica)|Duke Léo of Argenta]] some merchants began plotting for the removal of the ''House of Stanno'' and the establishment of the ''House of Hydrargyro'' as Counts of Branta.

In 1434, the [[List of leaders of Anserisa (Pacifica)|Count Césario of Hydrargyro]] invaded Branta island and took control of the area surrounding Alisa. Following battles, Césario of Hydrargyro was able to take control of the eastern side of the island and was threatening to take on Brantavilla. After some skirmishes with the militia, the army of Césario was able to take control of Brantavilla and he declared himself, Count of Stanno, ending the rule of the ''House of Stanno''. This action infuriated the population on the island of Branta and large revolts were seen especially in the city of Chevrona. This takeover of the island of Branta was also enraging [[List of leaders of Anserisa (Pacifica)|Count Marcello VIII of Stibia]] who saw the action as undermining the Treaty of Envoys and a threat to Stibia's sovereignty. Marcello VIII decided to also invade the island of Branta and tried to take control of the southern part of the island but was met with the army of Césario. The army of Marcello VIII entrenched in the village of Viatorisa. The army of Césario began a siege on Viatorisa trying to expel the army of Marcello VIII. Marcello VIII was unable to break the siege and returned on the island of Haliétusa, defeated, he abdicated and left his daughter, Victoria in charge. Césario then arranged a marriage with his son and ruled the three islands, with the island of Haliétusa being in a personal union.

A military leader and former Envoy for Stanno, Stéphano Anserisum began preparing the takeover of the island, with the help of local militias, especially those of Chevrona who led a devastating blow to the army of Césario in 1435. Being able to take the cities of Chevrona and Alisa and controlling all of the north-eastern part of the island of Branta with fast attacks, he was gaining a lot of support throughout the island of Branta and was able to take control of Brantavilla by 1443, after a two-years long siege.

On 7th April 1443, the army of Stéphano was able to break into the palace in Brantavilla and soldiers executed Césario, bringing an end to the rule of the ''House of Rubecula'' in Branta.

Stéphano requested the council of Countess Victoria and decided to appoint himself as Prince of Anserisa and to rule over the islands as one single entity.

===Principality of Anserisa===

The Principality of Anserisa is the first unified state on the islands and was founded on 2nd June 1443, when Stéphano Anserisum took control of the islands and was crowned [[List of leaders of Anserisa (Pacifica)|Prince Stéphano I]] of Ansersia. This event is considered to be the founding date of Anserisa and is celebrated yearly as Prince Stéphano I Day. It is also the founding point of the ''House of Anserisa'', the ruling house for the most of the Anserisan history. During his 24 year reign, Stéphano I had to unify three distinct peoples and established the foundation of the Anserisan culture. Following his experience as an Envoy, Stéphano I established the [[Council of Regions of Anserisa (Pacifica)|Council of Regions]] in 1450, the oldest continuous form of legislature and government in Anserisa. Stéphano I is also responsible for the renaming of the islands to the original families' names.

The reign of [[List of leaders of Anserisa (Pacifica)|Princess Geneva]] is considered to be the golden age of Anserisa, with a reign of 50 years, the nation saw great development especially in culture and arts and its at that moment that the Anserisan language developed to be what we know today, with the creation of the Anserisana Académia that regulates the Anserisan language. It is also the reign that saw the rise of merchant ports in Anserisa and the development of Concordia on Haliétusa island.

The reign of [[List of leaders of Anserisa (Pacifica)|Stéphano IV]] saw the creation of the [[National Convention of Anserisa (Pacifica)|National Convention]] in 1613. It is the first electoral representative form of government in Anserisa.

In 1700, the House of Anserisa stopped being the ruling house when the ''[[Royal houses of Anserisa (Pacifica)|House of Corvuma]]'' and [[List of leaders of Anserisa (Pacifica)|Prince Octavio I]] took control after the sudden death of [[List of leaders of Anserisa (Pacifica)|Prince Stéphano V]]. Only ruling for 13 years, the ''House of Corvuma'' was deposed in 1713 by [[List of leaders of Anserisa (Pacifica)|Prince Stéphano VI]], reinstating the ''House of Anserisa'' on the throne.

In 1790, following revolts that started a year earlier, [[List of leaders of Anserisa (Pacifica)|Prince Urbano II]] abdicated in favor of his son, [[List of leaders of Anserisa (Pacifica)|Prince Urbano III]]. The revolts were led by republicans that wanted to install a republic on the islands. Led by [[List of leaders of Anserisa (Pacifica)|Hadriano Aquilum]], the revolts would continue during the reign of Prince Urbano III. In 1792, Urbano III was executed and the republicans took control but were betrayed by Hadriano Aquilum who proclaimed himself Emperor of Anserisan and the creation of the Anserisan Empire.

===Anserisan Empire===

Proclaimed Emperor of Anserisa on 9th April 1792, [[List of leaders of Anserisa (Pacifica)|Hadriano]] began a radical transformation of Anserisan society. He is responsible for the development of New Anserisan, a reformed version of Anserisan which he considered to be the language of the princes and thus, anti-republican. Being a former republican, Hadriano established the modern functioning of the [[Congress of the Republic of Anserisa (Pacifica)|Congress of the Republic]], although people serving on the Congress were named by the Emperor.

The reign of Hadriano was a reign of terror with many political death and human rights repression especially in more republican cities like Chevrona and Alisa on Branta island. It was also an era of technological advancement, development of public works and infrastructure, the implementation of sanitation in most urbanized cities and railroad works on the islands.

Being unpopular, Hadriano faced a republican revolution which was successful. The republicans deposed him, forced him to abdicate publicly and exiled Hadriano from the islands of Anserisa and thus established the Republic of Anserisa.

===Republic of Anserisa===

The Republic of Anserisa was proclaimed on 21st September 1815 by [[List of leaders of Anserisa (Pacifica)|Calpurnio Fabricium]], the first [[President of Anserisa (Pacifica)|President]] of Anserisa that voluntarily stated his mandate to be of one year only.

Since 1815, the Republic of Anserisa is a nation that has developed great democratic practices. Its constitution was adopted in 1815 and was never substantially modified, the only major additions are the ''Governmental obligations'' in 1984 and the ''Declaration of Rights'' in 1995. People are calling for a reform of the republic, mostly the election of the President which is still being indirectly elected.
