Agarntrop is a small island nation in Western Valasia. The country was a Canterian colony from 1702 to 1889, when it managed to gain independence due to the ongoing Canter Uprising. Chaos ensued following independence leading to martial law and eventually a military dictatorship under the control of several lieutenant-general-emperors that managed to remain in power until 1966, when a revolt led to the foundation of the modern federal republic.

Ethymology

The name 'Agarntrop' was made by the Canterians in relation to the Agar People who dominated he island from 1345 to 1702.

Language

The most common language in Agarntrop is Spanish, which is spoken by the Canter Prybourneans who make up the majority demographic. Agarn is also common as it is spoken by the indigenous Agarn population, who are also widespread.

The remaining 10% of Agarns speak a variety of languages as their mother tounge, as Agarn immigrants come from many countries around Anteria.

People

The most common ethnic group in Agarntrop are the Spanish-speaking Canter Prybourneans, who make up roughly 60% of the population. The indigenous Agarns are also numerous and make up roughly 30% of the population. The remnant 10% is populated by diverse ethnic groups from across Anteria.

Government

The Senate

In Agarntrop, there is one national house of legislature, the Senate, which is elected via the Party List System with electors voting for a party rather than a candidate. Then the percentage of votes a party gets will be multiplied by four and the amount of seats the party gets in the Senate will be declared. Members in the Senate are automatically elected every five years with a term limit of 30 years, but the government or just the prime minister themselves may call an election before that time expires. The Senate is currently controlled by a coalition between the ADC and the liberals. This coalition is commonly referred to as the Centre-left coalition.

  PWL: 2 seats

  LC: 12 seats

  ADC: 177 seats

  Liberals : 31 seats

  CL: 165 seats

  NLA: 13 seats

Executive Branch

The Agarn head of state and government is the Prime Minister, which is elected by the Senate along with the rest of the cabinet. The Prime Minister must form a government with either one party or a group of parties which together meet the required threshold of 201 seats. After this, the cabinet will be almost certainly elected as every party in the Agarn Senate requires their members to vote for their government. The Prime Minister has a term limit of 10 years.

The current Prime Minister is Peter Auklando of the ADC, who was re-elected in 2018 by a vote of 220-171 (with 9 either abstaining or not being present). His term will end at latest on the 10th December 2020, as he will have served for 10 years.

Judicial Branch

The Agarn supreme court consists of 12 seats. In order to ensure impartiality, 6 are appointed by the government and the other 6 are appointed by the official opposition (the largest party not in government). After an election, the supreme court appointments will re-occur, but there is no limit on the amount of times a justice can be reappointed unless the said justice dies or retires.
