Government
The government of Ohio is what is claimed to be a continuation of the pre-Chaos State of Ohio's government, though it has been transformed into a monarchic state. All of the power is concentrated in the hands of the Governor, though there is lip service to a mostly powerless "State Legislature" that serves as a rubber stamp for the Governor. Every four years there is an "election" though it has evolved into a Unionist ritual, as the Governor mainly serves for life. The only time the election actually means something is when the previous Governor dies without an heir, and then the only purpose is to make official the heir's ascendance to the Governorship. The Lieutenant Governor serves only to be a regency when the heir is not of age. The Wardens, the powerful nobles guarding the frontiers of the nation, have quite a bit of influence. More than a few times the Governor was overthrown in a coup by a particularly ambitious Warden.

Religion
Ohio has a distinctive regional variant of Unionism called "Presidential Unionism". They believed that the former United States was a coalition of nations lead by great rulers called "Governors" who would ascend following their deaths to become one with a deity known as the "President".

Holidiays
The Ohioans have a list of very popular religious hollidays that are well-known through the region.
 * New Year's Day (January 1st)- A holiday to celebrate the beginning of the new year.
 * Presidents Day (Febuary 22nd)- A Unionist holiday celebrating the legendary Presidents of the United States, especially George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
 * Flag Day (June 14th)- A highy religious Unionist holliday worshipping both the former American flag and the Ohio flag. It is designed to drum up loyalty to Ohio by associating the nation to the legendary United States.
 * Election Day (November 4th)- A Unionist holiday celebrating the "election" or "re-election" of the Governor.
 * Veteran's Day (November 11th)- A Unionist holiday celebrating those who gave their lives for both Ohio and the United States.
 * Thanksgiving (November 26th)- A holiday celebrating the autumn harvest.
 * Christmas (December 24th-26th)- Three days of feasts, gift-giving and enthusiastic partying.

Military
The Ohioan army is one of the largest and most well-equipped force in the entire continent. The soldiers are equipped with high-grade steel weapons and armor manufactured by the nation's greatest blacksmiths. The military consists of five armies of 50,000 which protect a region of the nation.
