Union State of Evillious

The Union State of Evillious was a state in the Bolganio continent's Evillious region. The nation was formed after the states of Lucifenia, Elphegort, Levianta, and Marlon came together and signed the Aishikeru Treaty.

History
The USE was formed by the signing of the Aishikeru Treaty in EC 878. In August of EC 983, a civil war erupted in Levianta in response to the exoneration of the war criminal General Ausdin by Judge Gallerian Marlon, leading both men to their demise. Its member nation, Elphegort, later became known for the sudden disappearances of treasure hunters venturing into Evils Forest.

In EC 993, Elphegort invaded Lucifenia and was immediately expelled from the USE. In response, the USE army, composed of the Marlon and Leviantan militaries, declared war on Elphegort and its allies, Beelzenia and Snakeland. Launching a two-pronged invasion on the Green Country, the USE army successfully liberated Lucifenia in EC 998.

Power Structure
The Judicial branch of the USE government was composed of multiple government bureaus acting as individual entities, given a great deal of freedom by their court director, who held the title of Chief Justice and was regarded as a "Master of the Court".

In times of economic or political need, the court bureaus' government funding could be cut to save expenses. As a result, personal economic pursuits could allow corruption to seep into the system and promote injustice from its employees.

The government's laws were enforced by a police force, tasked with protecting citizens against civil disorder and wore a distinctive uniform for recognition. For felons convicted of especially dangerous or unusual crimes, hanging was the primary method of capital punishment.

Military
The Union State had an organized military, assumed to be composed of citizens from its member states. Its ranks include several levels of Lieutenants and Sergeant Majors.

Economy
The USE used a mixture of minted gold coins and paper currency to back their economic wealth for streamlining trade and held little to no repercussions for underhanded dealings. There was also a thriving news industry within the nation, collecting and disseminating information for the public's interest.

Society and Culture
The USE kept aristocratic elements from its member states, including nobles as part of its social structure. Because of the nobles' affluence and social status, those with lower social status were abused by the judicial system in the Dark Star Court. Should a noble desire someone to be imprisoned, they could bribe officials to guarantee a sentence; similarly, they could pay kickbacks to avoid suffering punishment for crimes themselves. After the Levianta Civil War, the corrupt judicial system orchestrated by Gallerian Marlon was often spoken about with disdain. Gallerian's legacy even stretched into local folklore, with the legend of Evil's Theater in the Evil's Forest becoming a popular tale of warning.

Due to the invention of the radio, media reporters spread news quickly to listeners across the nation and kept them updated on important political or societal affairs within the country. Similarly, the flashbulb camera led to sporadic interest in images and news reporters often scrambled to take photographs of notable public figures. As another form of media, movie theaters showed a variety of films for entertainment, though private theaters like the one owned by Gallerian could choose to show only one kind of film.

Geography and Climate
Formed by the nations agreeing to create it, the USE has a landscape largely featuring forests, mountains, rivers, grasslands but included areas such as Lucifenia's Babul Desert and Levianta's snowy region. Similarly, its climate was also varied.
