Etymology
The word "Rojadavistan" has its contempoary origins from combining Rojadavi, the major ethnic group in the country, with the Pardarian suffix-stan meaning "place of" or "country." The earliest derivitive can be linked with the word "Rojadan," one of the demonyms that these lands received during the ancient X Empire, which was dominated for centuries.
History
Geography
Government and politics
Rojadavistan is a unitary presidential republic with Irfan as the state religion and religious law as the basis for all legislation. The current constitution was adopted in X. The national government comprises of three branches: first is the executive branch, which is the President; second is the legislative branch, which is Parliament; and third is the judicial branch, which includes the Supreme Court, the Irfanic Council and the High Courts. Citizens are also subject to provincial and local government.
Government
The President of Rojadavistan (Serokomarê Rojadavistanê) serves as both head of state and head of government. The president possesses extensive powers and responsibilities including granting reprieves and pardons, promulgating or vetoing legislation passed by parliament, determining and implementing domestic and foreign policy, receiving and accepting foreign diplomats, presiding over the National Security Council, appointing all cabinet members and provincial governments (subject to National Assembly approval), appointing the chief justice and three other members of the Supreme Court, appointing all judges on the Irfanic Council, appointment of assorted other high officials across the government, and in addition, all the ceremonial duties of a head of state. The president is directly elected by eligible Rojadavi voters for a five-year term, renewable once. The president is elected with two vice presidents (Cîgirên Serokomarê) who aid in overseeing and coordinating the work of other ministers and representing the president as needed.
Rojadavistan has a bicameral parliament (Parlamentoya Rojadavistanê) consisting of a lower house called the National Assembly (Meclîsa Neteweyî) and an upper house known as the State Council (Konseya Dewletê). The National Assembly has 333 members, elected every five years at the district level through the use of single non-transferable vote. The 101 members of the State Council are elected differently: 33 are elected by district councils for three-year terms, 33 are elected by provincial councils for six-year terms, 25 are appointed by the president to serve until retirement, and 10 are reserved for minorities and members of the clergy. The National Assembly is the dominant chamber as they hold the power to pass legislation, investigate and scrutinize the actions of the executive branch, declare war or peace, ratify all agreements and treaties, override vetoes by the president, the power to set the government budget and the ability to impeach and remove the president, vice presidents, or cabinet ministers. The State Council serves primarily in an advisory capacity by reviewing all passed legislation and offering amendments for the lower house's approval or rejection before being sent up for presidential approval Though they possess veto powers, they choose to rarely use it and instead defer to the president. The Council's opinions on policy do hold considerable influence on government actions. The right-wing Social Conservative Party has continiously held the largest number of seats in parliment since its formation. Both chambers meet in the Parliament Building in central Sermîyan.
