'''Separatist states in Western Velaheria''', are two states, the '''Veldorian Democratic Republic''' and the '''Elbenauer Republic''', that were formed with the backing of the [[Stedorian People's Republic]] following the [[Stedorian invasion of Velaheria]] on 16 July 2024, in which Veldoria and Elbenau, both states under the ''de jure'' control of the [[Velaheria|Republic of Velaheria]], were occupied by Stedorian military personnel following the [[Overthrow of the Velaherian regime|Lily Revolution]]. Prior to the invasion, the Stedorian government had made unsubstantiated claims of genocide and vigilantism against ethnic [[Stedorians]] and former members and supporters of the [[Velaherian People's Party]]. The Stedorian government additionally made claims that Stedorian sovereignty had been continually violated by supporters of the Revolution, which the Stedorian government deemed  illegal.
 
Following the Stedorian occupation of the two regions, on 5 October, at an extraordinary congress of the [[Dolchic Socialist Gemotam Party]], the Chief Consul of Stedoria, [[Tamäj Köseg]], announced that referenda would be held on 11 November in both Stedorian-occupied Veldoria and Elbenau, in which the regions' citizens would be given a choice of independence or rejoining the newly-formed Republic of Velaheria. The Second Consul of Stedoria, [[Djjuràd-Françwa Delvau]], announced the formation of the [[United People's Progressive Front of Elbenau and Veldoria]] (VVF), a de facto political movement and regional member party of the Dolchic Socialist Gemotam Party. Political experts have widely viewed the VVF as a pro-Stedorian collaborationist political organisation to attract support for Stedoria within the two regions, with many pointing to the appointing of [[Viktor von Starinburg]], the older brother of deposed Velaherian leader [[Ander von Starinburg]], as an attempt to attract support from those in the region still sympathetic to the former Velaherian People's Party regime. Delvau also announced the creation of the of two Stedorian-trained paramilitary forces, the People's Combat Groups of Elbenau and the People's Combat Groups of Veldoria, both unified in command under the [[Separatist Combat Groups in Western Velaheria|Unified Military Command of Veldoria and Elbenau]].
 
The independence referenda, planned for November 11th, although postponed to December 1st, resulted in the two regions voting for independence. According to the official referenda results by the Stedorian government, 82.31% of residents in Veldoria voted in favour of independence whilst 76.77% of residents in Elbenau voted in favour of independence, with a turnout of 71% and 63% respectively. The results of the referenda could not be verified by international observers, who were refused entry into the regions. The Velaherian government, estimated the turnout rate to be approximately 30% in both regions. Int'l recog. of results. criticisms. stedorian resposne.

===History===
===Government and politics===
====Government====
The Veldorian Democratic Republic is a federal presidential republic. The Veldorian government is primarily formed out of citizens who collaborated with Stedorian occupying forces in the early days of the Stedorian invasion of the region. The current State President of the Veldorian Democratic Republic is [[Viktor von Starinburg]] who was appointed on 5 October 2024 by the Stedorian government on a provisional basis. The country is considered by geopolitical experts to be under a [[wikipedia:Dictatorship#Personalist|personalist]] authoritarian regime, with a cult of personality being formed around Viktor Starinburg, although the Veldorian government has repudiated some aspects of the Velaherian regime under the [[Velaherian People's Party]]. International critics have described the Veldorian Government as a puppet administration of Stedoria.
The State President is elected via popular votes in presidential elections.
====Legislature====
The official legislature of the Veldorian Democratic Republic is the [[Legislatures of the Veldorian DR and Elbenauer Republic|People's Assembly]]. It has 100 representatives and is elected every 4 years according to the Veldorian constitution.

====Military====
The country's defence is managed by the [[Separatist forces in Western Velaheria|People's Combat Groups of the Veldorian Democratic Republic]] (VkgV); the VkgV was created following an announcement by the Stedorian Government on 5 October 2024 under the guise of allowing citizens of the region to engage in peacekeeping operations alongside Stedorian military units. The VkgV is under the control of the Ministry of Defence of the Stedorian Democratic Republic regarding internal operations within Veldoria. On a wider scale however, the VkgV is under the control of the [[Separatist forces in Western Velaheria|Unified Military Command of Veldoria and Elbenau]], a joint command force made up of Stedorian, Veldorian, and Elbenauer military personnel. Critics have accused the VkgV of being no more than a personal paramilitary force under the direct command of Viktor Starinburg.
====Law and order====
The maintaining of law and order is under the responsibility of the Ministry of the Interior.
===International status and recognition===
===Human rights===
Human rights in the Veldorian Democratic Republic are generally considered to be very poor; the country has been heavily criticised by [[Mercy International]]. Human rights experts have noted that the human rights situation remains very similar to the human rights situation in Velaheria under the [[Velaherian People's Party]] regime. Mercy International has noted various cases of arbitrary detention, torture, and absence of legal defence, accusing the country of being completely lacking in the rule of law.
===Economy===
The Veldorian Democratic Republic has a mixed economy organised along [[wikipedia:National syndicalism|national syndicalist]] and [[wikipedia:State capitalism|state capitalist]] lines. Unlike the Velaheria following the Lily Revolution, the Veldorian Democratic Republic has maintained large amounts of state control over industries previously controlled by the Velaherian government. Following the Veldorian Democratic Republic's establishment, these state-controlled corporations were reorganised along syndicalist lines, akin to [[Stedoria]]. The Veldorian economy is primarily based on agriculture and textile production. The Veldorian economy is highly dependant on Stedoria, with Stedoria being one of the country's few trading partners. The Stedorian government also controls a significant amount of the region's industrial assets, which were either invested into the region prior to the Lily Regime or were bought at under market prices by the Stedorian government.
The Veldorian Democratic Republic has its own central bank, the [[People's Bank of Veldoria]]. The country, however, utilises the [[Stedorian mark]] as its currency.
Prices for basic goods are considered to be higher than in the rest of Velaheria owing to the fact that the majority of the country's goods are imported solely from Stedoria. Many of the country's poorest citizens are reliant either on Stedorian aid or aid from the [[Assembled Nations]].

====Government====
The Elbenauer Republic is a federal parliamentary republic. The Elbenauer government was primarily formed out of citizens who collaborated with Stedorian occupying forces in the early days of the Stedorian invasion of the region. The current President and Volksminister of the Elbenauer Republic are [[Luther Becker]] and [[Yakob Beyër]] who were appointed on 5 October 2024 by the Stedorian government on a provisional basis. The country is considered by geopolitical experts to be under an [[wikipedia:Illiberal democracy#Personalist|illiberal]] regime. Whilst the Elbenauer Republic has not seen the development of a cult of personality like Veldoria, the country's government is still widely seen as authoritarian.  International critics have described the Elbenauer Government as a puppet administration of Stedoria.
====Legislature====
The official legislature of the Elbenauer Republic is the [[Legislatures of the Veldorian DR and Elbenauer Republic|People's Council]]. It has 100 representatives and is elected every 4 years according to the Elbenauer constitution.

Latest revision as of 12:39, 23 December 2024

Separatist states in Western Velaheria, are two states, the Veldorian Democratic Republic and the Elbenauer Republic, that were formed with the backing of the Stedorian People's Republic following the Stedorian invasion of Velaheria on 16 July 2024, in which Veldoria and Elbenau, both states under the de jure control of the Republic of Velaheria, were occupied by Stedorian military personnel following the Lily Revolution. Prior to the invasion, the Stedorian government had made unsubstantiated claims of genocide and vigilantism against ethnic Stedorians and former members and supporters of the Velaherian People's Party. The Stedorian government additionally made claims that Stedorian sovereignty had been continually violated by supporters of the Revolution, which the Stedorian government deemed illegal.

Following the Stedorian occupation of the two regions, on 5 October, at an extraordinary congress of the Dolchic Socialist Gemotam Party, the Chief Consul of Stedoria, Tamäj Köseg, announced that referenda would be held on 11 November in both Stedorian-occupied Veldoria and Elbenau, in which the regions' citizens would be given a choice of independence or rejoining the newly-formed Republic of Velaheria. The Second Consul of Stedoria, Djjuràd-Françwa Delvau, announced the formation of the United People's Progressive Front of Elbenau and Veldoria (VVF), a de facto political movement and regional member party of the Dolchic Socialist Gemotam Party. Political experts have widely viewed the VVF as a pro-Stedorian collaborationist political organisation to attract support for Stedoria within the two regions, with many pointing to the appointing of Viktor von Starinburg, the older brother of deposed Velaherian leader Ander von Starinburg, as an attempt to attract support from those in the region still sympathetic to the former Velaherian People's Party regime. Delvau also announced the creation of the of two Stedorian-trained paramilitary forces, the People's Combat Groups of Elbenau and the People's Combat Groups of Veldoria, both unified in command under the Unified Military Command of Veldoria and Elbenau.

The independence referenda, planned for November 11th, although postponed to December 1st, resulted in the two regions voting for independence. According to the official referenda results by the Stedorian government, 82.31% of residents in Veldoria voted in favour of independence whilst 76.77% of residents in Elbenau voted in favour of independence, with a turnout of 71% and 63% respectively. The results of the referenda could not be verified by international observers, who were refused entry into the regions. The Velaherian government, estimated the turnout rate to be approximately 30% in both regions. Int'l recog. of results. criticisms. stedorian resposne.

History

Government and politics

Government

The Veldorian Democratic Republic is a federal presidential republic. The Veldorian government is primarily formed out of citizens who collaborated with Stedorian occupying forces in the early days of the Stedorian invasion of the region. The current State President of the Veldorian Democratic Republic is Viktor von Starinburg who was appointed on 5 October 2024 by the Stedorian government on a provisional basis. The country is considered by geopolitical experts to be under a personalist authoritarian regime, with a cult of personality being formed around Viktor Starinburg, although the Veldorian government has repudiated some aspects of the Velaherian regime under the Velaherian People's Party. International critics have described the Veldorian Government as a puppet administration of Stedoria.

The State President is elected via popular votes in presidential elections.

Legislature

The official legislature of the Veldorian Democratic Republic is the People's Assembly. It has 100 representatives and is elected every 4 years according to the Veldorian constitution.

Military

The country's defence is managed by the People's Combat Groups of the Veldorian Democratic Republic (VkgV); the VkgV was created following an announcement by the Stedorian Government on 5 October 2024 under the guise of allowing citizens of the region to engage in peacekeeping operations alongside Stedorian military units. The VkgV is under the control of the Ministry of Defence of the Stedorian Democratic Republic regarding internal operations within Veldoria. On a wider scale however, the VkgV is under the control of the Unified Military Command of Veldoria and Elbenau, a joint command force made up of Stedorian, Veldorian, and Elbenauer military personnel. Critics have accused the VkgV of being no more than a personal paramilitary force under the direct command of Viktor Starinburg.

Law and order

The maintaining of law and order is under the responsibility of the Ministry of the Interior.

International status and recognition

Human rights

Human rights in the Veldorian Democratic Republic are generally considered to be very poor; the country has been heavily criticised by Mercy International. Human rights experts have noted that the human rights situation remains very similar to the human rights situation in Velaheria under the Velaherian People's Party regime. Mercy International has noted various cases of arbitrary detention, torture, and absence of legal defence, accusing the country of being completely lacking in the rule of law.

Economy

The Veldorian Democratic Republic has a mixed economy organised along national syndicalist and state capitalist lines. Unlike the Velaheria following the Lily Revolution, the Veldorian Democratic Republic has maintained large amounts of state control over industries previously controlled by the Velaherian government. Following the Veldorian Democratic Republic's establishment, these state-controlled corporations were reorganised along syndicalist lines, akin to Stedoria. The Veldorian economy is primarily based on agriculture and textile production. The Veldorian economy is highly dependant on Stedoria, with Stedoria being one of the country's few trading partners. The Stedorian government also controls a significant amount of the region's industrial assets, which were either invested into the region prior to the Lily Regime or were bought at under market prices by the Stedorian government.

The Veldorian Democratic Republic has its own central bank, the People's Bank of Veldoria. The country, however, utilises the Stedorian mark as its currency.

Prices for basic goods are considered to be higher than in the rest of Velaheria owing to the fact that the majority of the country's goods are imported solely from Stedoria. Many of the country's poorest citizens are reliant either on Stedorian aid or aid from the Assembled Nations.
