History
The Kingdom of Fichmanistan was founded in the summer of 1701. The state was created after the two previous kingdoms’ monarchs that inhabited the land married. The two kingdoms were United into a single state the same year. The monarchy held absolute control over the country until 1921 although in practice a monarch hadn’t interfered in politics since 1845. The King in 1921 was king John IV, who although the legislation was basically a formality welcomed it. In 1932 King Robert II began his rule. Robert was a very different man then his uncle. Just a year into his reign he abolished the parliament and the position of Prime Minister. The people were outraged and in the spring of 1934 they launched a a revolution. The leader of the revolution was a man named John Arnold, who after winning the two year war named himself president for life. While alive he set up a presidential republic, with the president being head of government, state and the armed forces. John Arnold died in 1948 and was replaced by his Vice President: Seth Green, who set up term limits and organized elections. The Monarchy was again established in 2021 after a referendum. The president is no longer head of state but head of the government and head of the armed forces.
Subdivisions
The Kingdom of Fichmanistan has 25 counties and one semi autonomous region. Each County has an assembly which is responsible for; housing, planning, roads, environmental protection, fire services, waste collection and maintaining the electoral register. The counties of Fichmanistan were created in 1987 to delegate more power down and reduce the size of the National Government. The reason for this was that the president at the time was Lillian Hakkan, a member of the socialists of Fichmanistan (now defunkt)
