'''Imagua and the Assimas''' ({{wp|Italian language|Etrurian}}: ''Imagua e Assimas''), commonly referred to as '''Imagua''' ({{wp|Italian language|Etrurian}}: ''Imagua''), is a sovereign state, located between [[Asteria Superior]] and [[Asteria Inferior]] on the [[Arucian Sea]].


Inhabited by {{wp|Arawak people|native Arucians}} and other {{wp|Indigenous peoples of the Americas|indigenous peoples of the Asterias}}, Imagua and the Assimas were first discovered by [[Assim Asteris]] in the 1490s, and was settled by [[Caldia|Caldians]] in 1503. However, in the 1560s, [[Ordennya|Ordennyan]] colonizers took the islands from Caldia and attached it to their colony in [[Eldmark]].
==Constitution==
===Preamble===


Over the coming centuries, control of the islands bounced back and forth between the various [[Euclea|Euclean]] powers, including (TBA), (TBC), and (TBD), until by the nineteenth century, it came under the control of [[Etruria]], which controlled the [[Assimas Islands]], and [[Estmere]], which controlled the island of [[Imagua (island)|Imagua]].
===Chapter 1: Governance===
====Article 1: Presidency====
*'''§1''' The [[President of Imagua and the Assimas]] shall function as the {{wp|head of state}}
*'''§2''' His duties are to:
**'''§2a''' Grant assent to new legislation passed by the [[Parliament of Imagua and the Assimas]], or to veto legislation if necesssary
**'''§2b''' Appoint ambassadors and justices based on qualified applicants whenever a vacancy arises
**'''§2c''' Appoint members to the [[Senate of Imagua and the Assimas|Senate]]
**'''§2d''' To serve as {{wp|commander-in-chief}}
*'''§3''' All of these powers may only be exercised after having consulted with the [[Prime Minister of Imagua and the Assimas|Prime Minister]], who shall function as the {{wp|head of government}}


(TBC)
====Article 2: Parliament====
 
*'''§1''' The {{wp|legislative assembly}} of the Republic of Imagua and the Assimas shall be the [[Parliament of Imagua and the Assimas]]
==Etymology==
*'''§2''' Parliament shall be divided into two houses:
The name '''Imagua''' derives from the {{wp|Taino language|TBDian}} phrase for ''little middle place'', which refers to the island of [[Imagua (island)|Imagua]], as it is relatively small compared to [[Sanslumiere]], which was situated in the middle of the [[Arucian Sea]] between [[Asteria Superior]] and [[Asteria Inferior]].
**'''§2a''' The [[Senate of Imagua and the Assimas|Senate]], which shall comprise of sixty (60) members, who shall serve for life
 
**'''§2b''' The [[Lesser House of Imagua and the Assimas|Lesser House]], which shall comprise of seventy (70) members, who shall be elected at least every four years by all citizens eighteen (18) years or older
The name of the '''Assimas''' refers to the [[Assimas Islands]], which were named after [[Assim Asteris]], who first discovered the two Asterian continents. The reason for this name was that the [[Caldia|Caldish]] held the islands for a brief period of time from 1503 until 1560, when the Caldish lost the islands to (TBD).
*'''§3''' Parliament shall be empowered to pass legislation, provided it does not conflict with the constitution
 
**'''§3a''' As a corollary, Parliament is empowered to institute any rules that are necessary for its smooth operation
==History==
*'''§4''' Both chambers must meet at least once every twelve (12) months
===Prehistory===
 
===(TBD)===
 
===Early colonial efforts===
After discovery of the area by [[Assim Asteris]] in the 1490s, [[Caldia]] made the first efforts to establish a colonial presence in what is now Imagua and the Assimas in 1503, when they established a settlement in present-day [[Cuanstad]].
 
(TBC)
 
In 1562, when [[Ordennya]] took over [[Eldmark]], the decision was made by the Caldian administration to abandon the islands and give them to Ordennya. The Ordennyans subsequently attached the area to Eldmark, and it was governed from [[Hammarvik]]. During this time, while there was some activity on the islands, especially with the establishment of farms and settlements, the islands were generally

==Geography==
[[File:Guadeloupe_114_-_Sommet_de_la_Soufrière_1467m_-_Guadeloupe.jpg|150px|thumb|right|[[Mount Apita]], 2006]]
Imagua and the Assimas is situated on the [[Arucian Sea]], and is part of the larger (TBD). It is traditionally divided into two regions, the large island of [[Imagua (island)|Imagua]] and the smaller [[Assimas Islands]].
 
The Assimas Islands comprise of three major islands west of the island of Imagua, in decreasing area: [[Avitabile Island]], [[Ineweyu Island]], and [[Guardia Island]]. The Assimas Islands, while of volcanic origin, have been extinct for millions of years, which have helped contribute to the small islands of the Assimas. The highest point of the Assimas Islands is [[Mount Pereramon]], located on Avitabile Island, and at an elevation of 940 meters above sea level.
 
Imagua only comprises of a single major island, Imagua. Imagua is a {{wp|volcanic island}}, with three volcanoes on the island: the highest volcano, [[Mount Apita]], at 1,467 meters above sea level, which last erupted in 1972, [[Mount Guanara]], at 966 meters above sea level, which last erupted in 1866, and [[Mount Morete]], which is believed to be extinct, and is at 778 meters above sea level. Unlike the Assimas Islands, which are relatively flat, Imagua is a rugged land, with development only really possible either along the coast, or along several valleys, with the largest valley being the [[Glen Valley]] along the longest river, the [[Glen River]], which empties out at [[Cuanstad]].
 
Due to the rugged geography of Imagua, and the small size of the Assimas Islands, only 3.5% of the land in the country is {{wp|arable land|arable}}.
 
Climatically, Imagua and the Assimas experience a {{wp|tropical monsoon climate}}, with the yearly average highs being 32 °C (89.6 °F), and the yearly average lows being 20.5 °C (68.9 °F). The wet season is generally from May to October, while the dry season typically lasts from November to April, although the months of April and November receive more rain than any other month in the dry season. The highest recorded temperature in Imagua and the Assimas was at 38 °C (100.4 °F), recorded in [[TBD]] on 28 July, 1939, while the coldest recorded temperature in Imagua and the Assimas was at -2.7°C (27.2 °F) on the summit of Mount Apita on 19 February, 1911.
 
While there have been some apocryphal reports of snow falling on the peak of Mount Apita in 1694, 1768, 1796, and 1813, there have been no official records of snow being observed on Imagua and the Assimas since records began in 1873.
 
==Economy==
[[File:Port_Louis,_Mauritius.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Skyline of downtown [[Cuanstad]], 2012]]
For most of the history of Imagua and the Assimas, well into colonial years, the economy of Imagua and the Assimas was based off of {{wp|subsistence agriculture}} and from the {{wp|fisheries}}.
 
With the colonization of the islands by [[Ordennya]], the {{wp|sugar industry}} was established, and the farmlands of Imagua and the Assimas became largely focused on producing {{wp|sugar}}, as well as spices such as {{wp|nutmeg}}. These industries remained the main pillars of the Imaguan economy well into the late nineteenth century, with heavy imports of {{wp|slaves}} by colonial powers that all sought to take control of Imagua and the Assimas.
 
In the nineteenth century, industrialization started to take root, especially in the cities of [[San Pietro, Imagua and the Assimas|San Pietro]] and Cuanstad, with the opening of many factories. By 1881, the manufacturing sector had overtaken agriculture as the most profitable industry, and it reached a peak in 1951, when the manufacturing sector employed around two-thirds of all employed.
 
Since the 1950s, the {{wp|service sector}} began to develop, especially in Cuanstad, where the {{wp|financial sector}} blossomed, as policies were made to make Imagua and the Assimas a {{wp|tax haven}}. {{wp|Tourism}} however became a major pillar of the economy, with jobs in tourism overtaking jobs in manufacturing by the early 1970s. Despite setbacks in the late 1970s and in the 1980s, the service sector has recovered in the 1990s.
 
As of 2016, the gross domestic product of Imagua and the Assimas is at $21,221,560,715 via {{wp|nominal GDP}}, or $42,701,809,420 via {{wp|purchasing power parity}}, which makes Imagua and the Assimas one of the wealthiest countries in the [[Arucian Sea]]. Imagua and the Assimas has a nominal {{wp|GDP per capita}} of $16,243, or a PPP per capita of $32,684. It has a {{wp|human development index}} of 0.719, and has an employment rate of 74.2% of the population, with an unemployment rate of 5.8%.
 
The largest part of the Imaguan economy are the {{wp|service sector}}, with three-quarters of the economy being due to the service sector, and with two-thirds of all workers in the country working in this sector. The largest industries in that sector are the {{wp|hospitality industry}}, {{wp|retail}}, the {{wp|financial industry}}, and the {{wp|information and technology|IT industry}}.
 
Besides the service sector, manufacturing comprises 15% of the nation's economy, and employs ten percent of all workers in the country. Contemporary manufacturing in Imagua and the Assimas largely focuses on the food and beverage industry. As well, agriculture, while still employing 2.5% of all workers, only contributes 1% of the national economy, with most production mostly focused on supplying the nation with food needs. Other economic sectors comprise the remainder of the economy, with workers employed by them.
 
There are very little natural resources on the island, apart from the fish surrounding Imagua and the Assimas, and the fertile soil.
 
==Politics==
[[File:Bridgetown_barbados_parliament_building.jpg|150px|thumb|right|[[Parliament of Imagua and the Assimas|Parliament]] building in [[Cuanstad]], 2006]]
Imagua and the Assimas is a {{wp|unitary state|unitary}} {{wp|parliamentary republic}}, with the {{wp|head of state}} being the [[President of Imagua]], currently [[Edmondo Privitera]], and the {{wp|head of government}} [[Prime Minister of Imagua]], currently [[Douglas Egnell]].
 
A custom has emerged where the President and Prime Minister have to be from the two linguistic groups (i.e. if the President is a native {{wp|English language|Estmerish}} speaker, the Prime Minister must be a native {{wp|Italian language|Etrurian}} speaker, and vice-versa).
 
(TBD)
 
===Legislature===
The legislative body of Imagua and the Assimas is known as the [[Parliament of Imagua and the Assimas]] ({{wp|Italian language|Etrurian}}: ''Parlamento di Imagua e degli Assimas''), which is a bicameral body.
 
The lower house is the [[Lesser House (Imagua)|Lesser House]] ({{wp|Italian language|Etrurian}}: ''Casa minore''), which comprises of seventy members, all elected using {{wp|first-past-the-post voting|first-past-the-post}} every four years, although elections may be held earlier if the government loses confidence of the House. Since independence, it has been customary for the Prime Minister and his cabinet to be members of the Lesser House.
 
The upper house is the [[Senate of Imagua and the Assimas]] ({{wp|Italian language|Etrurian}}: ''Senato di Imagua e degli Assimas''), which comprises of sixty members, all of whom are appointed by the [[President of Imagua and the Assimas|President]] under advice from the [[Prime Minister of Imagua and the Assimas|Prime Minister]] to serve for life.


===Legal system===
====Article 3: Judiciary====
The Imaguan legal system is based off of {{wp|common law}} as applied to Imagua under [[Estmere|Estmerish]] rule. While the [[Etruria|Etrurian]] administered [[Assimas Islands]] used a legal system based off the {{wp|civil law|Etrurian legal system}}, following the annexation of the Assimas into Imagua after the end of the [[Solarian War]], Imagua imposed their common law on the Assimas.
*'''§1''' The Republic of Imagua and the Assimas shall use the {{wp|common law|common legal system}}


(TBC)
(TBC)
===Administrative divisions===
Imagua and the Assimas are divided into (TBD) parishes, with all but the [[Assimas (parish)|Assimas]] parish being situated on the [[Imagua (island)|island of Imagua]].
