Lilledel, officially the Principality of Lilledel, is an island country occupying the southern portion of the archipelago of Hallania and consisting of 153 islands which collectively cover 35,309 square kilometres. The vast majority of the country's population of 4.4 million is concentrated on the largest of these islands, Mænjisel, where both the country's royal and administrative capitals, Sønderburg and Nebligen respectively, are located. Other major cities include Lillehavn, Lentine, Noucaster and Neisinnet.

--insert history summary here--

Since regaining independence from Hallania in 19XX, Lilledel has emerged as a developed, service-based economy and a minor regional power firmly within the liberal democratic camp. The country possesses a significant welfare state influenced by the powerful early 20th century co-operative movement. The country performs well internationally on quality of life metrices and is active in international organisations, being a founding member of the Hallanic Commonwealth, the !United Nations and the !World Trade Organisation.

Politics and government

Kirsikka I, Princess of Lilledel

President Natalja Lablanck

Lilledel's political system is laid out in the Basic Laws of 1917, a set of four laws which collectively form the nation's constitution. These laws are the Act of Succession, the Instrument of Government, the Bill of Rights and the Statute of Autonomies and each establish a key facet of the country's governance.

The Act of Succession establishes Lilledel as an elective monarchy and outlines the selection of an electoral college to choose the country's Prince, with one third being elected from the country's nobility amongst themselves, one third being selected from sectoral interests and one third being elected by the national and state legislatures. Any member of this electoral college who meets the Act's restrictions may nominate themselves for the position, meaning any nominee must have been born legitimately within Lilledel, be over 25 years of age and of "good faith". A runoff voting system is then used between all nominees to choose the next monarch and head of state, who is then crowned and serves until death or retirement. The current Princess of Lilledel is Kirsikka I, Jarless of Isomuuri, who was crowned on the 21st November 2014.

The Instrument of Government lies out the powers of the country's legislative, executive and judicial branches and the relations between the three branches. The Remsting is established as the unicameral legislature of Lilledel, with its 175 members elected for four-year terms through the additional member system, with 90 first past the post seats and 85 proportional top-up seats. As well as being responsible for initiating, deliberating and passing proposals for new legislation, the Remsting is also responsible for electing and supplying confidence to the Government of Lilledel, the country's directorial executive branch. This consists of six members each responsible for one of the government's six main departments who serve alongside the Remsting they are elected by so long as they maintain its confidence, with a collective no-confidence motion in the Government resulting in its dissolution and the calling of new elections. While all six members of the Government are theoretically equal in their role as head of government, one member of each government is chosen to serve as President of Lilledel, making them a primus inter pares chair of government meetings. This position is currently held by Justice Minister Natalja Lablanck of Democratic Lilledel.

Law

Lilledel possesses a civil law system centred around key principles such as innocent until proven guilty and trial by jury, both of which are established in the Bill of Rights alongside key civil liberties such as freedom of speech, expression and assembly. The Instrument of Government guarantees the independence of the country's judiciary from the legislative and executive branches and any other government agencies and organisations and creates five national supreme courts, with responsibility as the highest court of appeal and over cases to deal with labour law, social security, tax and customs law and administrative law.
