Garindina has historically been an energy efficient country. Until around the 1960s, Garindina was run in coal plants. But after the passing of the 1964 {{wp|Clean Air Act}} Garindina started to move away from coal plants. During the Garindinan Civil War, many coal plants were destroyed, but the many Hydropower plants were left alone. As Garindina was still rebuilding, in 2005 Czar Aleksandr began to build wind and solar farms across Garindina, kickstarting the clean energy program. Slowly, Garindina began to move away from Coal and Oil. Today, 67% of all energy production in Garindina is produced by renewable resources.
Garindina’s energy sector is heavily reliant on coal, which accounts for 41% of the country’s total energy production. Despite this fact, Garindina has been diversifying its energy production and has been expanding into more renewable sources of energy. Garindina in recent years has been expanding its hydropower and wind power capacity. This has had significant impact on Garindina’s carbon emissions lowering them significantly. Garindina’s government has planned to increase its renewable energy production by 40% by 2030.

The first civilization can be traced back to the Paras Gari in the 1st century BC. The head of state is Nadia V from the House of Yakolev-Shishkov. The Garindinan Civil War (1983-1997) has left clear scars on the people of Garindina and the nation, with a change of government and the return of the Garindinan Monarchy.

Politics

Government

The governance structure in Garindina is intricate and, at times, confusing. Classified as an Anocratic State, Garindina's government restricts national-level elections, permitting only local-level electoral processes. Operating as a Semi-Constitutional Federal Monarchy and a one-party state led by the National Royalist Party (NRP). The NRP serves as the sole political party within the nation. The power in the country is centralized within three levels of government: the monarchy, the central government (consisting of the Federal Council, the State Duma, and the Council of Ministers), and the Supreme Court.

At the top, the monarchy holds ultimate authority, with decisions made by the Crown enacted by the Council of Ministers to bring about changes. The central government, which includes the Federal Council, governs the Oblasts and Administrative Districts (ADs) of Garindina. However, all discussions and decisions within the central government require approval from the Crown. The State Duma, as the legislative body, has the unique power to challenge the Crown. It can set limits on the monarch's authority, acting as a check and balance. The local government, appointed by the Federal Council, operates autonomously without requiring the Crown's approval. Lastly, the Supreme Court serves as the enforcer of all laws enacted by the monarchy and protects the Garindinan Constitution, also known as the Nationalist Constitution.

Monarchy

The Monarchy of Garindina dates back to the first civilizations of the Gari people. Garindina is run by a hereditary monarchy and its current monarch is Czarina Nadia V.

This split is defined by the abolishment of the monarchy after the October Coup, currently Garindina is ruled by the new monarchy. The New Monarchy has ruled Garindina since 1998, after the end of the Garindinan Civil War. The first “New Monarch” was Czar Aleksandr Yakolev, and he reigned until his death on 17 July 2015.

The Monarchs are Commander-in-Chief of the Garindinan Armed Forces and hold the authority to declare war and make alliances.
