Svellere: /* List of semi-sovereign states */

The following is a list providing an overview of states around the world, with information on their status and recognition of their sovereignty.

Compiling a list such as this can be a complicated and controversial process, as there is no definition that is binding on all the members of the community of nations concerning the criteria for statehood. The list is intended to include entities that have been recognised as having ''de facto'' status as sovereign states, and inclusion should not be seen as an endorsement of any specific claim to statehood in legal terms.

'''Polaris''' is a domestically sovereign city-state. It is the capital city of the [[Water Tribe]]. All foreign policy matters, except those relating to border rights, are deferred to the Water Tribe. It is home of the [[Polaris Docks]], the largest docks in the world.

== History ==

Polaris was a city founded on the eastern coast of a region that later became the greater Water Tribe, a nation known for its waterbending prowess and social unity. Svet was elected as the [[Jarl of Polaris]], and Polaris became the capital of the Water Tribe. However, due to its size and distance from the other parts of the Water Tribe, Polaris developed a distinct culture and identity over time. Some of its citizens began to feel that they were different from the rest of the Water Tribe and demanded more autonomy and self-determination.

As the demands for autonomy and self-determination grew, tensions between Polaris and the rest of the Water Tribe began to rise. The citizens of Polaris felt that they were not being fairly represented by the Water Tribe's central government and that their unique cultural and economic needs were not being adequately addressed. However, the Water Tribe government was concerned about preserving its unity and maintaining control over its capital city.

=== Polaris Proposal ===

In order to address the conflict and find a way to reconcile the differing viewpoints, the Water Tribe and Polaris formed a joint committee to draft the [[Polaris Proposal]]. The proposal recognized the full domestic sovereignty of Polaris, which meant that it had the authority to govern itself internally, including having full control over its own borders. However, it also reaffirmed that Polaris remained part of the Water Tribe and that all its citizens were considered Water Tribe citizens as well. The proposal also stipulated that Polaris would continue to be the capital of the Water Tribe and that foreign affairs would be handled by the Water Tribe as a whole.

The Polaris Proposal was a compromise that allowed Polaris to have more control over its own affairs while still being part of the greater Water Tribe. It helped to ease tensions between the two sides and allowed for a more peaceful and cooperative relationship to develop. The Water Tribe and Polaris began to work together more effectively, with the Water Tribe respecting the autonomy of Polaris and Polaris recognizing its place as part of the greater Water Tribe.

== Geography ==

Polaris has a rich history and cultural traditions that have been shaped by its unique location at the northeastern tip of the Water Tribe. Its strategic position at the 7-shaped bend of the [[Central Sea]] gives it significant influence over the surrounding region and allows it to play a key role in the Water Tribe's trade and diplomacy.

The city of Polaris sits on relatively flat and frozen terrain, which can be challenging to inhabit. However, the surrounding area is home to a variety of landscapes, including forests and a rare ice spike biome. These ice spikes are formed by natural processes that cause them to grow and rise out of the ground, and they are considered a rare and valuable resource. Many entrepreneurs have attempted to harvest the ice spikes for profit, but none have been successful so far due to the difficulties and dangers of the process.

Despite these challenges, Polaris remains an important and vibrant city, known for its strong economy, advanced infrastructure, and rich cultural heritage. It serves as a hub of trade and commerce, attracting visitors and traders from all over the world. Its unique location and resources have shaped its history and identity, and it continues to play a vital role in the Water Tribe and the wider world.

== Government and politics ==
Polaris is a constitutional socialist democracy. While it is a part of the Water Tribe, no Water Tribe laws have any legal force inside of Polaris. The Water Tribe does have control over all foreign policy and laws pertaining to foreign matters, except for any of those to do with Polaris border rights.

The government is comprised of four branches:
* '''Public''': The citizenry of Polaris collectively hold certain powers that the other branches do not have. The veto power, the power to approve executive cabinet members, the power of impeachment, the power of amending the Constitution, and the power of invoking binding referenda are all solely vested in the citizenry of Polaris.
* '''Legislative''': The unicameral Congress makes laws, declares war, and has monetary powers, among other things. All members of the Congress are directly elected by the public.
* '''Executive''': The Jarl, directly elected by the public, is the commander-in-chief of the military, has the power to appoint cabinet members with approval from the public, and is tasked with enforcement of the law.
* '''Judicial''': The Tribunal Council, whose judges are appointed by the Jarl with approval from the legislature, interprets laws and overturns those found to be unconstitutional.

== Economy ==

The economy of Polaris is diverse and dynamic, with a variety of industries and sectors contributing to its growth and prosperity. The city is home to a thriving port, which serves as a hub of trade and commerce, attracting visitors and traders from all over the world. Polaris is also home to a number of businesses and enterprises, ranging from small, locally owned enterprises to large, multinational corporations.

The economy of Polaris is based on the principles of socialism, with a focus on collective ownership and control of the means of production. This means that most of the resources and industries of the city are owned and managed by the community as a whole, rather than being owned by private individuals or corporations. The government also plays a key role in ensuring that everyone has access to basic necessities, such as food, shelter, and healthcare.

One of the key industries in Polaris is fishing, as the city is located on the coast and has access to a rich supply of seafood. The city is also known for its shipbuilding and ship repair industries, which have a long tradition and are an important part of the local economy.

In addition to these traditional industries, Polaris has a growing service sector, with a range of businesses providing a variety of services to residents and visitors. The city is also home to a number of research and development centers, as well as educational institutions, which contribute to its reputation as a center of innovation and knowledge.

Overall, the economy of Polaris is strong and resilient, and focused on meeting the needs and demands of the population. It plays a vital role in the prosperity of the Water Tribe as a whole.

=== NFMC ===

The New Frontiers Mercantile Company, or NFMC, is a privately-owned company based in Polaris, the capital of the Water Tribe. It is one of the largest and most influential businesses in the city, and it works closely with the government to benefit the citizens of Polaris.

The NFMC was founded in the early years of Polaris, with the goal of promoting economic development and growth within the city. It has a diverse portfolio of businesses and industries, including shipping, trade, and manufacturing, and it has a reputation for innovation and quality.

One of the key ways in which the NFMC works with the government is through partnerships and joint ventures. The company often partners with government agencies to develop and implement projects and initiatives that are aimed at improving the lives of the citizens of Polaris. These might include initiatives related to transportation, infrastructure, housing, or environmental protection.

The NFMC also works closely with the government to promote economic development and growth within the city. It often collaborates with local and regional authorities to identify opportunities for investment and expansion, and it is known for its support of entrepreneurship and innovation.

Overall, the NFMC is an important and influential player in the economy of Polaris, and it plays a key role in promoting the prosperity and well-being of the citizens of the city. Its partnerships and collaborations with the government have helped to drive economic growth and development, and it is an important contributor to the city's success and vitality.
