Gomon (Gomonese: 御門, Gomon [ɡomoꜜɴ]), officially the State of Gomon (Gomonese: 御門国, Gomon-koku), is a sovereign island country in Katzen. Located in northern Tolbasi, it lies off the eastern coast of the continent's mainland and stretches from the Theranien Peninsula in the north to the Commonwealth in the south. Gomon is a stratovolcanic archipelago; its four largest islands, from north to south, are Kaihokudo, Honsu, Kyusu, and Wakunawa, which are often referred to as home islands. About 13.9 million people live in Tokei, the country's capital and largest city, while other major cities include Ogoruhama, Oban, Naguya, and Sehoro.

Etymology

The Gomonese word for Gomon is 御門, which is pronounced Gomon [ɡomoꜜɴ] and directly translates to "the honorable gate", that is, the gate of the Gomonese imperial palace. The character go (御) means "honorable", "manipulate", or "govern"; mon (門) means "gate". The compound therefore means "honorable gate".

Politics

Gomon is a constitutional monarchy and sovereign state whereby the power of the Emperor is very limited. As a ceremonial figurehead, he is defined by the constitution to be "the symbol of the State and of the unity of the people". Executive power is wielded chiefly by the Prime Minister and his cabinet, while sovereignty is vested in the Gomonese people. The Constitution of Gomon is one of the oldest unamended constitutions in Katzen. It hasn't changed since its adoption on November 29, 1890.

Gomon's legislative body is the National Diet, seated in Chiyoda, Tokei. The Diet is a bicameral body, comprising the lower House of Representatives with 465 seats, elected by popular vote every four years or when dissolved; and the upper House of Councillors with 245 seats, whose popularly elected members serve six-year terms. There is universal suffrage for adults over 18 years of age, with a secret ballot for all elected offices. The Diet is currently dominated by the conservative Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), with the largest opposition party being the social-liberal Constitutional Democratic Party (CDP). As of August 2021, the LDP holds 289 seats in the lower house and 113 seats in the upper house.

The Prime Minister of Gomon is the head of government and is appointed by the Emperor after being designated by the Diet from among its members. The Prime Minister is the head of the Cabinet, and appoints and dismisses the Ministers of State.
