Hakuryou, officially the Hakuryan Social Union (Hakuryan: Union Sociale Hakuryan), is a nation located in Zemlya. Hakuryou is bordered by TBD. Hakuryou is composed of TBD subdivisions.

First inhabited in the !paleolithic era, Hakuryou was inhabited by the Miscish tribal groups during the Iron Age. It was one of the first foreign territories captured and integrated into the !roman empire in TBD, whose cultural diffusion laid the foundation for later Hakuryan culture and language. It secured its freedom in 642 through the founding of the Coumard Kingdom by Gisbald I. This dissolved into a group of warring states by 690, which were not fully united until the establishment of the Cousont dynasty as the rulers of the Kingdom of Hakuryou. Successive rulers proceeded to centralize power under the auspices of the monarchy until the War of Rights was waged from 1815 to 1821 in an attempt to overthrow the monarchy. This ended, however, in the Vibuard Constitution, which ensured a constitutional monarchy, and state secularism (and deism of the monarch).

After the conclusion of the Second Great War, Hakuryou was embroiled in the nine-year long War of National Reclamation following humiliations faced during the latter portion of the war by infighting. One of the most brutal civil conflicts in Zemlyan history, it saw Hakuryou united under a single-party directorial system, with the monarchy desacralized. Hakuryou has existed in this form since 1957. In the 1990s, Hakuryou experienced a period of rapid growth following looser economic policies that allowed it to become one of Zemlya's foremost economies.

Hakuryou is a unitary directorial Republic. Its political system is highly stratified and dominated by the Hakuryan National Party, who dominate most sectors of political life. its territories consist of the ## departments of Metropolitan Hakuryou and its ## overseas territories and dependencies. Hakuryou is a highly urbanized country, with approximately 62% of its population living in large urban centers. Its capital city is Rôslin. Hakuryou is a highly developed, high-income country with the # largest economy and # highest HDI.

Etymology

Hakuryou is derived from the Arlesian name for the Miscish tribes inhabiting the lands where it currently exists. Referred to as Miscatia from as early as 440 BCE, the name was used as the Arlesian administrative name for the territories in this region. The name was replaced in the establishment of the Coumard kingdom, which utilized the Miscish-derived name of Coumard for the region. This was a practice utilized until Richard I of the Ducois dynasty re-established the utilization of the Arlesian-derived name in 1140.

Government

Hakuryou is a unitary dominant-party directorial republic, following a form of government unique and intrinsic to it. Guidance and framework for the government is established in the Constituting Article of the Miscatean Social Union, which serves to outline and define the organs of state. It enshrines the Hakuryan National Party as the 'custodian of the Hakuryan nation and people', and largely omits many previously guaranteed personal rights under prior governments.

Executive power is nominally vested in the Council of Directors, a pool that generally consists of eight to twelve individuals who jointly execute executive powers, and are elected within the party from qualified individuals. However, since 1975, executive power generally rests in the Chief Director who is selected by the other Directors to administrate the state. In practice, the Council of Directors is more akin to a cabinet in other executives, and the Chief Director, who generally also serves as the chairman of the National Party, has a wide hand to direct policy and legislation. The President also serves as the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces.

The legislature, known as the Congressional Assembly (Assemblée en Congrès), is a unicameral assembly consisting of 502 elected delegates representing constituent areas of Hakuryou. The National Assembly is directly elected in a two-round election to represent constituencies of roughly 100,000 people from qualified members of the National Party.

Judiciary and law enforcement

Main article: Judicial system of Hakuryou, Law enforcement in Hakuryou

Hakuryou's judicial systems derive from Arlesian laws and follows a civil legal system. The basic tenets of Miscatian law were formally codified under Achillean Code, which forms the basis of many modern western legal systems- the code itself derives from statues of royal law established over centuries prior. Famed jurist Grégoire Lachapelle, the first Chief Arbiter of the Supreme Court, wrote that laws "should be made to serve the common interest wholly, to the extent it begins to detract from the common man's interests severely." That is, laws should serve to protect the interests both of the general population and the rights of the individual without infringing upon either too egregiously.

Hakuryan law is subdivided into civil, or common laws (loi commune) and public laws (loi publique). Courts are organized at the regional and departmental levels. Hakuryou has three courts of last resort with differing jurisdiction- the Court of Cassation with jurisdiction over civil and criminal matters, the Supreme Constitutional Court with review of constitutional cases, and the State Council with overview of administrative cases.

Hakuryou has a strong tradition of secularism in government following the days of the Miscatian Republic's rampant secularization of the entirety of the social apparatus. Monarchs of the House Roumarin have adopted deist belief systems since their installment and have rooted much of the religious traditions out from royal affairs. Hakuryou does not accept religious canon laws as valid legal statutes. Hakuryou has not recognized laws for blasphemism and laws for sodomy since the late 1700s, however, many laws which found origin in religious bylaws have found places in public law, including public indecency and disturbance of public order statutes. Hakuryou has allowed for freedom of religion and religious expression since the Republic, but constitutionally requires that religious laws are subordinate to national laws and requirements. This has resulted in some controversies, most notably the 2006 ban on !Islamic veil wearing in public.
