The United Federation of Provinces was a nation state spanning most of the Riverlands in 2012. It is notable for having the first republican form of government in the history of Minecraftia. Originally intended to form a sizeable, multi-province front against all aggressors, it never quite reached that point. Only the Riverlands joined as a province.
Background
As the Redstone Alliance raided the largely scattered Riverlands, the living standards of the inhabitants of the Riverlands diminished greatly. Poverty and crime were rampant in the face of continuous attacks. Despite occasional attempts by the Rebel Alliance to recover stolen goods and fend-off raiders, they never quite gained a military foothold in the Riverlands.
Republic, a young Riverlander, rallied a number of people into a military organisation much more coherent and unified than the Rebel Alliance, establishing common rules, rights and obligations of members together. From this, a nation-state quickly emerged and claimed itself as the rightful, legitimate government of the common folk.
