History

Medieval period

The origins of Nyantastan date back to 1000 CE. It was a turbulent time in the East when a small tribe migrated to the North to search for a better life. So they founded the city of Akaros. The City quickly became bigger due to their Trading Partners in the West. Soon, other Nations in the Region used Akaros as one of the biggest Trading Ports in the North. The small City became a City State in about 100 Years. By the Time, more and more City formed around them. While most country's tried to be Neutral, Akaros used its wealth to found and Fund a Highly trained Professional Army. With it, they Invaded their Neighboring states Valeria, Pelecena and Walarda founding the State of Nyantastan around 1700. By the time they proclaimed their State, they became a Regional Powerhouse and used their Power to force some Minor City States into their Newly Formed Empire. Nyantastan didn't bother to really Include the States in any form other than Industrial and Militarily.

Modern period

After a Brief Conflict against the Empire of Osvilla that ended with a White Peace in 1861 the Nations under Nyantastan. Notably the Nation of Walarda declared its Independence in 1871. Soon the other two big nations joined the call for Independence and a Civil War broke out. The country was in ruins but on the 15th May 1871 a Peace Treaty was held between the Nations granting them some Autonomy but including them deeply into the Newly Formed Commonwealth. And one day later on the 16th of May 1871 the Commonwealth of Nyantastan was declared. Some widespread reforms took place. The Emporer of Nyantastan became nothing but a Representative of former glory. And was Completely Abolished by 1900. Instead, a new government office was formed, the Post of Prime minister. While the Official Head of the State, the real Power lay in the Hands of the Chancellor. Around that time the Parliament and a Federal System were finally completely implemented, binding the Commonwealth to a Democratic system with a Strong Military and Cultural Diversion.

The Military even got different National Battalions. While the Nyantastans that lived close to the sea were mostly Deployed into the Navy because of their upbringing with it. The Valerians were mostly making up the Army perfectly suited for them because of their location in the more Rural Parts of the Commonwealth with a lot of Mountains and Forrest. The Walarda were mainly deployed as pilots, since the open Fields of former Walarda made great Runways and Airbase centers. Whilst the Industrial high developed Areas of the Commonwealth could be found in Pelecena.

21st century

The new Head of State has big Objectives for his Term. He wants to consolidate the Commonwealth with a Mega Project of a big Central City to united it even further. Also, he finally prepared the Commonwealth for his Place on the wurld Stage. After the more isolated phases after the Civil war, it's time for the Commonwealth to take a leading role in Foreign affairs and Protecting Democracy's all over the Globe.

Politics

WIP

• Federal parliamentary republic
• Executive branch
  • Head of state: President Evie Aksoy

The Commonwealths head of state is the Federal President. As in Nyantastan´s parliamentary system of government, the Federal Chancellor runs the government and day-to-day politics, while the role of the Federal President is mostly ceremonial. The Federal President, by their actions and public appearances, represents the state itself, its existence, its legitimacy, and unity. Their office involves an integrative role. Nearly all actions of the Federal President become valid only after a countersignature of a government member.

The President is not obliged by Constitution to refrain from political views. He or she is expected to give direction to general political and societal debates, but not in a way that links him to party politics. Most Presidents were active politicians and party members prior to the office, which means that they have to change their political style when becoming president. The function comprises the official residence of Whitmore Palace. All federal laws must be signed by the President before they can come into effect; he or she does not have a veto, but the conditions for refusing to sign a law on the basis of unconstitutionality are the subject of debate.

• • Head of government: Chancellor Nyanta Akamura

The Chancellor (federal chancellor) heads the House of Commons (federal government) and thus the executive branch of the federal government. They are elected by and responsible to the House of Commons, The Commonwealth´s parliament. The other members of the government are the Federal Ministers; they are chosen by the Chancellor.

The Chancellor cannot be removed from office during a four-year term unless the House of Commons has agreed on a successor. This constructive vote of no confidence is intended to avoid a similar situation in which the executive did not have enough support in the legislature to govern effectively, but the legislature was too divided to name a successor. The current system also prevents the Chancellor from calling a snap election. The chancellor appoints one of the federal ministers as their deputy, who has the unofficial title Vice Chancellor.

• Legislative branch: House of Commons
  • Upper house: Federal Council

The Federal Council participates in legislation, alongside the Federal Diet consisting of directly elected representatives of the Commonwealth people. Laws that affect state powers, and all constitutional changes, need the consent of both houses.The political makeup of the Federal Council is affected by changes in power in the states of the Commonwealth, and thus by elections in each state. Each state delegation in the Federal Council is essentially a representation of the state government and reflects the political makeup of the ruling majority or plurality of each state legislature (including coalitions). So the Federal Council is a continuous body and has no legislative periods. For organizational reasons, the Federal Council structures its legislative calendar in years of business , beginning each year on 1 November. Each year of business is congruous with the one-year-term of the presidium.

• • Lower house: Federal Diet

The Federal Diet is the Commonwealth´s federal parliament. It is the only federal representative body that is directly elected by the Commonwealth people. The Members of the Federal Diet are representatives of the Commonwealth people as a whole, are not bound by any orders or instructions and are only accountable to their electorate. The Federal Diet has several functions. Together with the Federal Council, the upper house, the Federal Diet makes up the legislative branch of the Federal Government. The individual states (Country´s) of the Commonwealth participate through the Federal Council in legislative process similar to an upper house in a bicameral parliament. The Federal Diet and Federal Council work together in the lawmaking procedure on the federal level. The Federal Diet also elects and oversees the chancellor, The Commonwealth´s head of government, and sets the government budget.

• • elections

The Commonwealth uses the mixed-member proportional representation system, a system of proportional representation combined with elements of first-past-the-post voting. Every elector has two votes: a constituency vote (first vote) and a party list vote (second vote). Based solely on the first votes, 299 members are elected in single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting. The second votes are used to produce a proportional number of seats for parties, first in the states, and then on the federal level. Parties can file lists in every single state under certain conditions – for example, a fixed number of supporting signatures. Parties can receive second votes only in those states in which they have filed a state list

The Greens (Green politics)

Holy Democratic League (HDL) (Liberal conservatism)

The Left (Democratic socialism)

• Judicial branch

The Commonwealth´s legal system is a civil law mostly based on a comprehensive compendium of statutes, as compared to the common law systems. In criminal and administrative law, The Commonwealth uses an inquisitorial system where the judges are actively involved in investigating the facts of the case, as compared to an adversarial system where the role of the judge is primarily that of an impartial referee between the prosecutor or plaintiff and the defendant. In the Commonwealth, the independence of the judiciary is historically older than democracy. The organisation of courts is traditionally strong, and almost all federal and state actions are subject to judicial review.

Judges follow a distinct career path. At the end of their legal education at university, all law students must pass a state examination before they can continue on to an apprenticeship that provides them with broad training in the legal profession over two years. They then must pass a second state examination that qualifies them to practice law. At that point, the individual can choose either to be a lawyer or to enter the judiciary. Judicial candidates start working at courts immediately. However, they are subjected to a probationary period of up to five years before being appointed as judges for life.

The courts are characterized by being specialist, regional, and hierarchically integrated at the federal level. There are five basic types of courts, plus the Federal Constitutional Court and the Country´s constitutional courts:

-Ordinary courts, dealing with criminal and most civil cases -Administrative law courts -Tax law courts -Labour law courts -Social law courts -Constitutional law courts, focusing on judicial review and constitutional interpretation

The main difference between the Federal Constitutional Court and the Federal Court is that the Federal Constitutional Court may only be called if a constitutional matter within a case is in question (e.g., a possible violation of human rights in a criminal trial), while the Federal Court of Justice may be called in any case. Only the Constitutional Court can declare an Act of Parliament invalid.

The Federal Constitutional Court is the supreme constitutional court. The sole task of the court is judicial review, and it may declare any federal or state legislation unconstitutional, thus rendering them ineffective. In this respect, it is similar to other supreme courts with judicial review powers, yet the Court possesses a number of additional powers, and is regarded as among the most interventionist and powerful national courts in the wurld. Unlike other supreme courts, the constitutional court is not an integral stage of the judicial or appeals process (aside from in cases concerning constitutional or public international law), and does not serve as a regular appellate court from lower courts or the Federal Supreme Courts on any violation of federal laws.

The court's jurisdiction is focused on constitutional issues and the compliance of all governmental institution with the constitution. Constitutional amendments or changes passed by the Parliament are subject to its judicial review, since they have to be compatible with the most basic principles of the Basic-law code, those being the principles of human dignity, unalienable human rights, democracy, republicanism, social responsibility, federalism and separation of powers.

The court's practice of enormous constitutional control frequency on the one hand, and the continuity in judicial restraint and political revision on the other hand, have created a unique defender of the Basic-law code given it a valuable role in the Commonwealth´s modern democracy.
