The '''Federal Republic of Besmenia''', commonly called '''Besmenia''', is a {{wp|German-speaking}} country [[Ajax|in the world]]. It is located in the east of [[Ajax#Continents|Belisaria]], bordering [[Drevstran]] to the north, a maritime border with [[Nachtmark]] to the southwest, and the [[Ajax|Periclean Sea]] to the east and south.

The current [[Prime Minister of Besmenien|Prime Minister]] since 2012 is [[Theodor Sidemann]].

In 1831, the first independent Besmenian state was founded. The state emerged as an amalgamation of various small states, such as the [[Free Republic of Trissenland]], the [[Principality of Lemberland]] ,and the [[Kingdom of Sedakanien]]. After {{wp|Civil war|a civil war}} from 1910 to 1920, Besmenia was divided under the [[Heraldstein-Müller contract]]. While [[West Besmenien|the kingdom]] continued to exist in the west, the [[East Besmenien|Federal Republic]] was founded in the east. The relationship between the two states [[Besmenian Division|was complicated]]. On November 5, 1949, the Kingdom {{wp|unification|merged}} into the Federal Republic. Thus, the Besmenian division ended after 29 years. 

In August 1985 the left extrem party ''SBAP'' was responsible for the [[Kailmeyerputsch]]. In February 1991 the [[Assassination of Martin Beiter]] habend.

Besmenia is a member of the [[Forum of Nations]]. The [[World Postal Union]], which is an agency of the Forum of Nations, is located in Laitstadt. Besmenia has one of the strongest economies in the world today and is a wealthy country.

Besmenia is a federal, parliamentary, representative democratic republic. Federal legislative power is vested in the parliament consisting of the ''[[Bundeskammer]]'' (Federal Chamber) and ''Bundessenat'' (Federal Senate), which together form the legislative body. The Bundeskammer is elected through direct elections, by proportional representation (mixed-member).The members of the Bundessenat represent the governments of the twelve states and are members of the state cabinets. The Besmenian political system operates under a framework laid out in the 1920 constitution known as the Grundgesetz (Basic Law).

The president, currently Sebastian Bergmann, is the head of state and invested primarily with representative responsibilities and powers. He is elected by the ''Bundesversammlung'' (Federal Convention), an institution consisting of the members of the Bundeskammer and an equal number of state delegates. The second-highest official in the Besmenian order of precedence is the ''Bundeskammerpräsident'' (President of the Bundeskammer), who is elected by the Bundeskammer and responsible for overseeing the daily sessions of the body. The third-highest official and the head of government is the prime minister, who is appointed by the President after being elected by the Bundeskammer. The prime minister , currently [[Theodor Sidemann]], is the head of government and exercises executive power through their Cabinet.

==== film ====
The first silent film from Besmenia appeared in 1897. In 1928 the first Besmenian sound film was released in East Besmenia. At the time of the Besmenian division, propaganda films against East Besmenia and their allies were made in West Besmenia. At that time, many films in East Besmenien dealt with the division and the civil war from the 1910s and their consequences . One of the most important directors after the end of the division was [[Helmut Rommel]] (1931-2004). He made around 15 feature films between 1957 and 2004. Many of his films are considered masterpieces of Besmenian film culture today.
[[File:Helmut Rommel.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Helmut Rommel in 2001]]
In the 1950s, the main focus in Besmenia was on comedy films. Most of the Besmenian films made in the 1960s were genre works (western, agent, sex films). Harald Fliedermann is considered to be a  important Besmenian author writer of the 1970s. He was strongly influenced by the theater, for which he wrote several plays. He often described unfortunate love relationships that failed due to the repressive and prejudiced circumstances.
The attempted coup by the SBAP in 1985 brought an end to the spirit of optimism that had previously characterized the 1970s and early 1980s. Many directors also wanted to depict social reality in their films and critically question them. The film ''Ochsenbein'' by Helmut Rommel (a film biography of [[Karl Ochsenbein]]), which was released in 1990, is internationally the most successful Besmenian film of all time. With a budget of 250 million BS, it was also the most expensive Besmenian film. Due to Helmut Rommel's Ochsenbein movie, Besmenian films had a international significance in the 1990s and 2000s.
