Taking up an area of 854,668 km2 and holding a population of 114 million people The Cape Bay is a significant nation in the political sphere. The country is a constitutional monarchy located on the East Thaudian Peninsula made up of 11 semi-autonomous ‘Territories’ and 1 ‘Metropolitan Capital Area’. This capital area is called Lahaela and has a population of almost 30 million people, and is also the site of most government offices and the heads of state. The head of state, Queen Saeyeo Seona-Mai-Quo (중 서나-마이-훠), holds power only in name, as the country is actually ruled by Prime Minister Deji Twaero-Qang-Hae (찐 마할 데지 퇘로-창-해).
People have inhabited the land of the nation for an estimated 40,000 years, however the first true civilisation only dates back to 9,000BC with the ‘Queendom of Siyara’. Over 15 kingdoms have existed since on the land not even including hundreds of city states. In the 1400’s Riamese ships would find themselves on Alsiyara island where the colonisation of the land begun. With the Riamese defeating the empires of the land and conquering the city states The Cape Bay became a large and profitable colony for the Riamese which they would rule over for the next 100’s of years. In 1969 after a long war of independence the country was granted independence which led to quick growth into the nation it is today. The nation was originally led by an apartheid government which gave way to mass economic growth at the expense of equality. This government caused many of the lingering socio-economic issues which plague the nation even in the modern world, however it is still credited as a government which took the country's first great steps into becoming the power it is today. The government was overthrown by a military coup in 1985, after 16 years of rule. The military government is still somewhat in control however elections do take place as the military slowly lets go of its power.
The Cape Bay is classified as a developing country due to the extreme inequality that remains due to the rule of the apartheid government for over a decade, however parts of the country are able to rival even the most developed of nations. The Bayian economy is a manufacturing, technology and entertainment powerhouse, many can watch their favourite Bayian produced shows and music, on their Bayian designed phone or computer, which also happened to have been manufactured in a Bayian factory. However due to disparity between rich and poor citizens millions of Bayians are not afforded this luxury, in fact the country's GINI index is 52.8, one of the highest in the world. Still, The Cape Bay is still a rising power that will be an even more significant, and able player in years to come if these issues are figured out.
Etymology
The name 'Cape Bay' refers to the bay of which the capital city, Lahaela, is located. In this bay exists a cape, in the geographical sense, which is what the city is named after. As the knowledge of this land grew the people of Riamo kept the name for their original colony, so the name Cape Bay stuck and now refers to the whole country instead of just the small area in which the name originally referred to.
Language
Aljian and Common are the 2 official widely used languages of the country. Any sign, advertisement, tv show, movie or song would usually been in one or both of these languages. Aljian is a native language of the Aljiic family (of which it is the biggest), other Aljiic languages include Koroa and Dosoa and many more dead languages. Aljian is polysynthetic language and is ranked as a Level 4 difficulty language, making it very confusing for Common speakers for both cultural and linguistic reasons. Aljian has around 120 million speakers world wide and is a mandatory language in most Bayian schools. Common was introduced through Riamese colonisation and has since become another staple language of the nation. It is also a mandatory language but in The Cape Bay it only has around 70 million speakers. One is able to get around in either language but be aware of many other minority languages you may here in the country. Arabic and Cape-Gabrielt are also languages spoken in many parts due to ethnic minorities that arrived through other mean throughout history.
History
Early History (112BCE - 14th Century AD)
The origins of the native people of The Cape Bay remain mysterious and unable to be traced but their history on the land dates back to 2,000BCE. Books, poems and other literature has been found as early as this, however it is largely indecipherable to us today. The earliest settlement is the ancient town of Alsiyara on the southern island of the country founded in roughly 1932BCE. This is considered the first point of settlement and one of the oldest in the area. Later exploration would begin a few decades later going throughout the Adelian Peninsula and through to the north of the country. Throughout history the Aljians were largely isolated, even from each-other, developing different ways of speaking and in extreme cases entirely different languages. However, contact with Gabrielt groups to the west and north and Arabian influence to the south due to trading, the language and culture adopted many parts of these cultures and languages with many loan sounds, words and customs.
Politically, most the south was all part of the Chushga (춧스가) Kingdom (772AD-14???) while the North and the rest of the country were rules by smaller nations and city states such as Seycuta, Akchaya and Quang, which are all prominent cities today. Many of these places had brief spatters but majorly stayed out of each others way as each area was important to the other and a disruption of this balance was going to be damaged. Nonetheless the city of Tayusa managed to get itself a foothold in the north ---- Work in progress
Geography
Government
The Cape Bay is a Constitutional Monarchy ruled by a Prime Minister and 4 lower representatives. It's considered a deficient democracy, the government is largely influenced by the military and royal family, however in more recent years the democracy has started to truly function, and improvements are still coming along.
A PM is elected internally within a party before these parties are put to a direct vote from the people. The PM is then elected by direct ranked choice voting on each party, the winning party's representative is the PM and the next 4 most voted party’s representatives are put in a ‘Council of Ministers’. Any of the representatives in the Council of Ministers can draft a new law, regulation or something of that sort however a PM may instantly veto or pass anything presented. A PM can be removed from office by a simple majority vote from the Council of Ministers.
New regulations/laws/resolutions may be submitted by anyone within any party but must be signed off by their party’s representative. In order to pass a new law it must be held to the Major Parliament (a proportional representation of every party, 114 seats total). The parliament votes on ‘yes’, ‘no’ and ‘abstain’ options, only a simple majority is required for it to pass.
Currently, the Capital party is in control, however they are proving to be unpopular among the people of the nation for their incompetence in handling the economy, inequality and social issues. The party was elected by a very slight hand over the Social Dem. party. The Capital party is a centre right party which aims to lessen the restrictions and government control on businesses however their efforts seem to have put much of the reliability, quality and ethics of items produced in The Cape Bay at risk. A 2022 poll found that 74% of the population would support a removal of this party from office, and 87% believe this will be the case in the next year.
Only 19% believe they live in a full democracy, however 77% are okay with the status quo of the monarchy and military having influence over political decisions but would support steps towards a more democratic and fair system.
