'''Bakyern''' (Bakyernian: ''Laakya'') officially the '''Greater State of the Bakyernian Nation''' (Bakyernian: ''Rikestii dei Laakyar Natsionen'') but also called '''Greater State of Bakyern''' (Bakyernian: ''Laakya Rikestii''<small> ([[File:Speaker Icon.svg|13px|link=http://ipa-reader.xyz/?text=reik%20estii%20laacia&voice=Karl]] [http://ipa-reader.xyz/?text=reik%20estii%20laacia&voice=Karl listen])</small>) is a sovereign state located in the Thuadian continent, bordered by [[New Sebronia]], [[Mustelaria|Mustelarian Federation]], [[Junterland]], and [[Qazhshava]]. At an area of over 2 million square kilometers, Bakyern is one of the largest nations in Anteria and Thuadia by size alone. Some of the nation's largest cities are [[Kalvat]] which is the political and economic capital, [[Hasholm]] and [[Lidholsborn]]. The population of Bakyern ranges into 105 million, with a large population density in the Eastern regions and Rikbaltens such as [[Ostasvern]] and [[Trånes]].

The 450-member {{wpl|unicameral}} [[Rikthing |Rikthing]] holds and exercises supreme legislative authority over the nation. The Rikthing has the power to alter the constitution and ordinary laws. They may also dismiss cabinet members and override presidential vetoes.

The current political system was created in 1986 following the creation of the Greater State and removal of the monarch. The [[National Unity Party]] has managed to maintain a {{wpl|dominant party system}} thanks to the majority in government they've maintained since 1986. {{wpl|Conservatism}} and [[Treigallism]] have been the majority ideologies in the political system. The Rikthing is divided between two coalitions, excluding the independents. These coalition are called the National Unity Coalition and Progressive Alliance. The National Unity Coalition is the current government, and is made out of conservative and right-wing political groups. The Progressive Alliance has worked as the current opposition, being made out of left-wing political groups and sometimes right-wing splinters that disagree with the National Unity Party's dominant status which many see as a violation to democracy.

===Judicial System and Law=== | |||
The judicial system of Bakyern is codified off a {{wpl|civil law}} system with cases being divided between {{wpl|courts}}. The general courts (''allsmën hott'') deal with criminal and civil cases while administrative courts (''haldussen hott'') maintain jurisdiction over cases of disputes.

The [[National Supreme Court of Bakyern]] is the highest court within the Bakyernian judicial system. The Supreme Court is made out of 10 Justices. For one Justice to be voted in, the [[National President of Bakyern|President]] must submit a nominee to the [[Rikthing]].

Bakyern maintains a crime rate that is above-average when compared to the rest of the [[Sekidean Union]]. The offense rate in Bakyern is low, but the most common offenses are sexual assault, assault, bribery, consumer fraud, burglary, and car theft. The homicide rate is above-average, but has been gradually decreasing over the years thanks to law enforcement. The homicide rate was at its highest in 2009. | |||
The national law enforcement body is the [[National Police Authority (Bakyern)|National Police Authority]]. There are multiple government agencies responsible with law enforcement, even if it's dealing with different types of offenses and charges. The Bakyernian police have the [[National Operations Task Force (Bakyern)|National Operations Task Force]] as their national {{wpl|SWAT}} force. The [[National Security Service (Bakyern)|National Security Service]] is an entity under control of the [[Chancellery of the Interior (Bakyern)|Chancellery of the Interior]] which has responsibilities of counter-terrorism, surveillance, and protecting sensitive information. In times of crisis such as martial law or lack of police personnel, the [[Bakyernian Defense Force|Bakyernian Defense Force]] can deploy Home Guard units to assist law enforcement or take over. | |||
===Regions=== | |||
Bakyern is a {{wpl|unitary state}} divided into 6 Great Regions (''Rikbalten'') which serve as first-level administrative regions. Rikbaltens are later divided further into municipalities (''Ortgaul''). Every municipality has corresponding counties (''Komunkap''). Ortgauls have responsibilities regarding public service such as waste management, healthcare, education, emergency services and water utilities. Komunkaps have their own County Councils (''Komunråd'') which deal with local issues, disputes, and services such as fire protection. There are also Special Administrative Zones (''Spasiellhaldusunvar'') which serve as second-level administrative areas for large metropolitan areas. The [[Kalvat|Greater Kalvat Metropolitan Region]] falls under this category, being designated as a Special Administrative Zone under Ostasvern. | |||
Elections for County Councils and Region commissions are held every four years in conjunction of national general elections. Regarding the formation and division of regions, during the [[High State of Bakyern]]'s existence, first-level regions were divided into Realms (''Rike''). Following the abdication and removal of the monarch in 1986, Bakyern's administrative regions would not be reformed until January of 1987 with the [[Administrative Code Act of 1987]] which reformed the Realms into the current form. | |||

The judicial system of Bakyern is codified off a civil law system with cases being divided between courts. The general courts (allsmën hott) deal with criminal and civil cases while administrative courts (haldussen hott) maintain jurisdiction over cases of disputes. The courts in the court system are somewhat administrative level based - as criminal and civil cases are handed down to municipal or county courts (ort hott) while administrative courts are entirely municipally based, with municipal administrative courts having control of such cases.
The National Supreme Court of Bakyern is the highest court within the Bakyernian judicial system. The Supreme Court is made out of 10 Justices. For one Justice to be voted in, the President must submit a nominee to the Rikthing. A Justice vote will be called in, and the Rikthing will vote on the new nomination for the vacant Justice seat.

The national law enforcement body is the National Police Authority. There are multiple government agencies responsible with law enforcement, even if it's dealing with different types of offenses and charges.
