Bakyern (Bakyernian: Laakya) officially the Greater State of Bakyern (Bakyernian: Laakya Rikestii (Speaker Icon.svg listen)) is a sovereign state located in the Thuadian continent, bordered by New Sebronia, Mustelarian Federation, Junterland, and Qazhshava. At an area of over 2 million square kilometers, Bakyern is one of the largest nations in Anteria and Thuadia by size alone. Some of the nation's largest cities are Kalvat which is the political and economic capital, Delserd and Lidhoslborn. The population of Bakyern ranges into 105 million, with a large population density in the Eastern regions and Rikbaltens such as Ostasvern and Trånes. Bakyern has been considered a diverse nation of religions and ethnic groups, especially in the Eastern Regions where many non-Bakyernian ethnic groups as well as ethnic groups from neighboring countries who spilled over reside.

The Bakyernian nominal gross domestic product comes to 5.697 Trillion mark in ACU, making it the wealthiest country in the Sekidean Union and one of the wealthiest countries in Thuadia and Anteria. With such a powerful economy, Bakyern maintains an active role in geopolitics - even with its inland sea which is the only coast it has. The defense of Bakyern relies on the Bakyernian Defense Force, with a total personnel number of 785,500. The Bakyernian economy is heavily service based. Bakyern's government is a unitary presidential state, with its internal politics being referred to as a dominant party system thanks to the power the National Unity Party has maintained since the creation of the Greater State in 1986 - winning all presidential elections except the 2001 presidential elections. The Bakyernian economy is dominated by the Vaapsjen, who regularly have feuds with the government over disputes of ownership and claims. Bakyern is criticized for its near police state actions, usage of mass surveillance and the death penalty.

Government & Politics

Legislative System

Judicial System

The judicial system of Bakyern is codified off a civil law system with cases being divided between courts. The general courts (allsmën hott) deal with criminal and civil cases while administrative courts ((haldussen hott) maintain jurisdiction over cases of disputes. The courts in the court system are somewhat administrative level based - as criminal and civil cases are handed down to municipal or county courts (ort hott) while administrative courts are entirely municipally based, with municipal administrative courts having control of such cases.

Regions

Bakyern is a unitary state divided into 6 Great Regions (Rikbalten) which serve as first-level administrative regions. Rikbaltens are later divided further into municipalities (Ortgaul). Every municipality has corresponding counties (Komunkap). Ortgauls have responsibilities regarding public service such as waste management, healthcare, education, emergency services and water utilities. Komunkaps have their own County Councils (Komunråd) which deal with local issues, disputes, and services such as fire protection. There are also Special Administrative Zones (Spetsialhaldusunvar) which serve as second-level administrative areas for large metropolitan areas. The Greater Kalvat Metropolitan Region falls under this category, being designated as a Special Administrative Zone under Ostasvern.

Elections for County Councils and Region commissions are held every four years in conjunction of national general elections. Regarding the formation and division of regions, during the High State of Bakyern's existence, first-level regions were divided into Realms (Rike). Following the abdication and removal of the monarch in 1986, Bakyern's administrative regions would not be reformed until January of 1987 with the Administrative Code Act of 1987 which reformed the Realms into the current form.
