The Kingdom of North Bardonia (Kingdom oz Nörd Bardönia) commonly known as the North-Bardonia, is a country located in Magnaterra neighboring the Kingdom of Eshallia to its southwest and the Commonwealth of Haverade to its North across the Straits of [TBD] and the Penitusian which surrounds the nations on three sides. To its south lies the vast [BLANK] Desert which consumes much of the southern provinces. The nation has 8 provinces that make up the Kingdom.. At 500,805 million square kilometers the nation is of moderate size and dominates all of the Carthian Penintsula. With a population of over 32 million. The national capital is Carthiada and the most populous city is Khariabad. The Kingdom is a federal semi-constitutional monarchy headed by King Erich Leftenson.

The current iteration of the monarchy was restored to power in 2019 after nearly a century in exile after a civil war exiled the royal family, the Leftensons. In modern times North Bardonia partook in the Great War as a power aligned against Hansa after a war of independence thirty years prior but more recently North Bardonian dueled with the Papalanians resulting in the April Coup restoring the monarchy and its ascension into the Vabasian Union.

North Bardonian has owed much of there wealth to its massive oil reserves and it state owned soverign wealth fund which the oil money has gone into. the oil wealth has been generously invested into state in order to maintain the economy of the nation and the infastructure that is tied to it.

Etymology

The name of North Bardonia comes from the Hansan Colonizers. Using the Artevenian word for ‘valuable’ Burdoni came the Hansan word Bardonjia, many Hansans explorer's thing that the lands south of the peninsula would be valuable they named the land were they first colonized (now called the Syclaian Coast) Nord ov Bardonjia (North of Value). This would evolve into, as the Hansan-Carthiadan traders would say Nord Bardonjia. Once receiving independence from Hansa after nearly two hundred years of being under Hansas foot and its ties to the resources of the east that name of Nord Bardonjia would stick. Evolving into to its modern Claycian name of Nörd-Bardönia.

History

North Bardonia is a land of empires, from Kharistani Sultanate to the Hansan Empire, the peninsula has been dotted with major powers and their infamous rivalries. North Bardonia was also considered as a beacon of knowledge and power in the aftermath of the formation of Carthiada and her empire spanning large swaths of the Penitusian. Conquered by the expanding Hanseatic empire North Bardonia was the first to successful break away from the empire marking the slow decline of Hansa to a minor power as see in this modern age. Post revolution and after it dabble in the Great War North Bardonia would falter and decline eventually leading to a civil that would result in an ultraconservative government dominated the peninsula for much of the latter half of the 20th century. In the aftermath of a violent conflict with the Vasbian Union in previous years the nation has bounced back after a royalist coup and recently joined the Vasbian Union.

Religion in North Bardonia has always been a conscientious topic, with innumerable wars fought over Faith. Even in modern times faith affects politics and economic standing. Alongside countless other issues Religon is one the presents a major challenge to overcome.

The Old Faith

The Old Faith is the largest religious organization in North-Bardonia and is also the oldest. The diaspora of Old Faithers outside of North Bardonia is mainly cantered in Domlandian, [TBD] and [TBD]. Established roughly 1500 B.C. in Central Vabas. The followers of the Faith for a number of reasons, particularly famine in the region, war and religious persecution chose to leave the safety of Central Vabas and journey south towards the Vabas Strait. From there they traveled towards modern day Carthiada and established the great city on the Carthia River. This, the Carthia River, is truly the heartland of the Old Faith.

The Religious doctrine of the Old Faith centers around their Deity, the Knowing. The Knowing main teaching to its followers is to enjoy the earth and the blessings the Knowing has provided and enjoy the act of learning about the world. The Knowings core tenets excluding the main practice of enjoying the world are codified in the Book of the Prophet Martin; the doctrine requires the worship of the Knowing in the form of prayer and not to bring harm to self and of course help those and aid those who can’t help themselves.

Matheist Church of North Bardonia:

The MCNB is the one of the three main Mathesit body of North Bardonia and is a Pontificate organization in itself. The organization was preceded by the [TBD], an official body organized by the Hansan Colonial Council in 1792 and by the Council of Lordsfountain (1435)

Health & Welfare

Healthcare

Healthcare in North Bardonia is handled by the Department of Health and it affiliated Ministries in the Provinces. The DoH operates all General Hospitals and supplies equipment whilst the ministries hire the staff for the GH’s and provided staff for clinics.

The DoH has allowed privatisation for Apothecaries, Clinics, and large hospitals with North Bardonia. Currently the DoH operates three Medical Colleges (one in Carthiada, one in Khariabad and one in Coulthel), these medical colleges teach nurses and doctors to fill the DoH’s General Hospital’s. The DoH in total runs 486 General Hospitals with and additional 34 under construction.

The private sectors currently operate 28 total General Hospitals with large amounts of small, licensed Apothecaries. These privatization efforts had been started in the late 80s and continue to be a nation able bodied system for healthcare and continue to expand. Medicine and Drugs are managed by the DoH’s Registration and Licensing Office and prescriptions are required for some medication.

Changes to the healthcare system to prevent striking has been implemented (Bill W-1) after the disastrous consequences of the 2017 Solidarity Health Union Strikes. The DoH is currently working to reform much of the healthcare apparatus to improve its quality of service for all North Bardonians.

North Bardonians leaps in medical care have always been prevalent, and one of the finest of these achievements have been the development of the first Heart transplant in 1967 at the University of Carthiada Amerston Medical Collage by Doctor Bernard Christfeldt. This medical milestone was encouraged by the North Bardonian Government which wanted to develop the medical standing of North Bardonia.

Welfare

Unemployment:

The Government doesn’t provide direct unemployment support and benefits for individuals and instead offers Unemployment Insurance as a way to balance concerns of businesses, citizens and the government's budget.

Parties and Elections

Legislature

The Parliament of North-Bardonia (Parliämentar oz Nörd-Bardönia) is made up three body’s; Chamber of the Senate, Chamber of Commons, and Chamber of Notables. The tricameral status of North Bardonia allows for a balance of power between the People, States, Clergy, Nobility and the King. The Commons, as it called is headed by the Minister-President (Ministerat-Prezidant) who is the head of the largest Party and the Government.

The Commons is the largest body and has the most legislative power passing bills, acts, and laws without much oversight from the two other houses. This is unless of course the King wishes the Senate to review a law in which a vote is called in the Senate (and for amendments and legislation involving the provinces) which is then passed to the Notables (also for amendments). The King has the most important role in the Notables and enforces the influences the votes in the Notables.

Parliament Building of North Bardonia showing the Interior of the Chamber of Commons.

The building were the Parliament is based in is the Parliament Building which started being constructed in 1898 and was completed in 1903. The building contains all three chambers of Parliament and also is home to offices of the Members of Parliaments. A large water pool was added onto the structure in 1935.

Interestingly the Constitution ignores the succession of females to the throne and instead only refers to the monarch as “King” which lead to a Male Primogeniture being enshrined as law.

Elections

Election are held every 5 years with the notable exception of when a snap election is called, in which case the metaphorical clock on the election doesn't reset. Snap Elections are called due to Hung Parliments and allow for whatever reason they were called to elevate a major political problem in the Commons. Meanwhile the Senate doesn't have Snap Election and instead is forced to wait for a General Election.

North Bardonia uses a combination of First Past the Post and Proportionate Electoral System to decide its Commons and a FPTP for its Senate. For the Commons 420 Seats are decided by people directly from their respective electoral district and 300 divided amongst the provinces using the Proportionate a system.

Law

The legal system of North Bardonia is a complicated web of interwoven institutions and articles that align to form a legal framework of North Bardonia. Courts are chosen by an independent guild that also anoints High Court members with the Kings Approval (The Kings Seal). With this independent guild the legal system is established around it. The government has to major legal offices that influence the courts: The Prosecutor-General and the Inspector-General. The former organizes trials alongside the guild and orders the beginning of investigations (through the Inspector-General) and is the only office that may authorize arrest of Parliamentarians. The latter office is responsible for the investigation of crimes and gathering evidence and works closely with the constabulary. It also operates its own federal investigative service: The Inspection Office.

Courts normally assign one Judge, two Attorneys and a Jury alongside legal counsel to both sides. The courts are very long in most cases and inquire large legal fees which the guild uses to pay for trials and other procedures. Interestingly the courts are not paid by tax dollars instead by the legal fee’s and ownership of the property of the Courthouses.

Another office of power is that of the Attorney-General which is responsible for ensuring the punishment and enforcement of the verdict and post and pre court proceedings to ensure the defendant and prosecution are prepared for court and follow the verdict by contacting different offices within the government.

Woman’s Rights

Womens rights in North Bardonia has fluctuated throughout the many centuries and many nations that have occupied the peninsula. The first token appreciation towards women in North Bardonia was in Carthiada where women could technically vote and take part in government but this vote was extremely difficult to obtain as the requirements were constricted by the Carthiadan Senate.

In the early years of the Kingdom of North Bardonia a campaign for woman’s suffrage and universal suffrage would take the rights of women back to new heights where modern women where treated nearly equal to men at that time and during the Great War would become key parts of North Bardonia Industry. This shortlisted spree of Women’s Rights would end in 1933 with the formation of the Republic of North Bardonia.

In the 1960’s & 1970’s the suffrage movement returned with the Civil Rights Act of 1968 lead by the Democratic Liberal Party and other liberal political movements. The return of Civil Rights to women in 1968 would also lead to other civil reforms in the 70’s. Domestic Violence though in regions such as Surdistan and Kharistan is very common.

Human Rights

In modern North Bardonia Human Rights abuses have been common and been documented heavily. Domestic violence and assault is common in many regions specifically those where Surdic and Khari people occupy land. Additionally the federal government has, on multiple occasions, conducted raids, operations and full scale conflicts with minority groups with North Bardonia. Most recently the Royal Goverment in 2021 invaded Vrejemland after secessionist took control during the Electoral and Political crisis of 2021. In the past the National Goverment of President Symon Haldbert invaded Kharistan and on multiple occasions events of mass murder was document, this all took place during the Kharistan Emergency.

LGBT Rights

In modern North Bardonia the rights of the LGBT minority still remain in a hot topic. It is legal for homosexuals to marry in a civil service and a few Matheist organization will conduct a ceremony but the Old Faith and a majority of Matheist groups don't recognize the marriage. Transpeople are unfortunately not recognized and any doctor or medical personal who work with Transpeople to give them the necessary procedure do have their licenses revoked. Though there is still much debate on the topic the rights of these individuals the Government has refused to acknowledge the existants of this group.

Foreign Relations

The Kingdom of North Bardonia contains a large Foreign and Diplomatic Office with numerous subdepartments for the many nations North Bardonia is diplomatically tide too. North Bardonia has also had the pleasure of membership in numerous diplomatic, economic and military alliances over the ages. In modern times North Bardonia has joined the Vasbian Union (2020) in the aftermath of the Papalanian-Bardonia War (2018). Another economic alliance that North Bardonia has been a member of is the Magnaterran Economic Community since it joining the organization in 1944. North Bardonia as a monarchy has also maintained the usage of marriages to strike political matches; one of the longest of such is the match making between Bardonia and Buchbach with several matches having been made over the last century culminating in a close relationship between the two. Another major organization North Bardonia is a member of the Directorate of Oil Developing Market since 1976 and is a member state of the International Council.

Road

Highways

Tollway & Tollroads

The invention of the "Tollway" is something quite seminomas when thoughts of North Bardonias Highway come to mind; unlike the state-run highways, sometimes underdeveloped and undermaintained, these private Tollways have contrastingly been seen as developed, maintained and neat in the structure. These private roads originated from Hansa in the 1880s as private roads privately maintained by private individuals for horses. With the invention of the car many North Bardonias took advantage of the boom and lack of public roads to construct these Tollroads. Several of these roads were constructed in the 1910's between Carthiada and her suburbs before being destroyed (during the Civil War) and absorbed into the Carthiada Roads and Transport Authority (CRTA) in 1934.

The beginning of North Bardonias Highway Age in the 1940's as many Highway projects started by the North Bardonian Highway Administration (NBHA) the private sector would begin the research into the feasibility of the possibility of a large-scale private Tollway system. The first system opened to the public in 1947, the project was the Carthiada-Krondor Tollway (CKT) and was owned and operated by the Carthiada-Krondor Tollway Association (CKTA). CKTA was established in 1940 by several parties interested in the development of a Tollway including a few Government Offices such as: Greyhound Bus Company, NBHA (who also wanted to see the feasibility of a Highway system), the United Municipal Investment Fund (UMIF), and the North Bardonia Road & Rail Shipping Group (NBRRSG). The Tollway charged 50 pence (Half a Krown) for entry into the highway upon its inception and now in 2024 (as according to the CKTA) the toll fee is now 2.50 Krowns.

As of the modern day North Bardonia has in operation 43 Tollways and 12,000 Kilometers of Tollway in service all represented by the Tollway Alliance of North Bardonia (TANB) who operate a universal toll pass for 365 Krown per year. The TANB represent some finest strips of Tarmac in North Bardonia and are used by millions every year as an alternative towards the public highway system.
