The Federal Republic of Four is a unique sovereign state (currently a micronation) with the capital located near Black Creek, WI. It is completely surrounded by the United States of America. Presently, no other nation has recognised it.

History
According the the Federal Government of Four, the Kingdom of Four was a short lived small nation in low population areas of Eurasia, South America, and Australia in the 8th century. Only 3 kings ruled it; Isktor I; Isktor II; and Isktor III. After about 40 years of existence it declined and then several decades later ceased to exist. It was largely undocumented in history as it was very small in remote areas. On October 29th 2014 descendents of Isktor I refounded the the nation as a Federal Republic, and several days later November 3rd declared independence.

Ecosystem
This is the list of Biomes that will be artificially recreated:

Temperate Deciduous forest With some high rolling hills, lots of lakes, etc. varied temperatures with four distinct seasons ranging from very warm to very cold. This would be most similar to North East Wisconsin.

Temperate Rain forest Very flat, but then sharp jagged mountains nearby like in Washington state. There are seasons but all of them are mild.

Mediterranean Plateau Higher average elevation, about 200 meters high. Ranges from mild cool to very hot temperatures, not much difference between seasons. Like Israel or Italy weather.

Taiga This is a Wisconsin type biome, but typically is farther north, lots of pine forests etc. This would be our highest elevation biome because we would be merging it with Alpine, there would be Glaciers and stuff. This is what people think about when they go up north, especially to Alaska. Elevation is highly varied from 0 meters on shorelines of lakes, to 4000 meters high in alpine mountains.

Deserts These would be small and our lowest elevation biome. We hopefully don’t want many of these, plus it is kind of hard to make them…

Tropical Rain forest/forest This would be fairly flat with elevation about average 30 meters with low mountains once in a while that are pretty far apart. (e.g. about 1 every 2 square kilometer) up to 1500 meters high. This is probably our most common form of tropical weather. Hopefully this will be perfect for the majority of our tropical plants such as mango, guava, coffee, etc. Kinda one size fits all for the tropical plants.

Tropical Savanna Medium elevation 50 meters high, not many hills, small boulders every now and then, hot and dry in summer and warm and damp in winter. This is basically like tropical Africa or most of tropical Australia. There are not that many trees. There would be a few huge mountains (our biggest) here that would go up to 5.5 kilometers high! This biome would be harder to manage, but would be worth it.)

Tropical Wetlands These would pretty much just be mangrove forests and swamps. Very low elevation -5 to 10 meters.

Subtropical and Temperate Wetlands Wetland swamps, think Louisiana bayou for subtropical or a duck haven with cattails for the temperate. Low elevation of 10-20 meters.

Government and Politics
Four’s Economy

The government has taken steps to open trade agreements with other countries, paid for with its national debt-free currency (These are comparable to American civil war style greenbacks, or the more notorious MEFO bills in mid-war Germany), and pouring sand in the ocean to become a real island nation.

Four's Government
Four has a federal republican form of government, and it has much to offer.

Free economy Neutral Foreign Relations Bacon is in our national food Four focuses on defense, not offense. Republican form of government Sports An experienced secretary of Defense (Please see the Department of Defense)

A laid-back society Relatively no stupid wars A Christian society with high morals and standards of excellence. Fractional Reserve banking is illegal (with several exceptions e.g democratically controlled credit unions ) so there is no boom and bust cycle or recessions and depressions. It is illegal to charge interest on loans.
