Hypatia (Hellenic: Υπατία; Ypatía), officially the Hypatian Popular Republic (Hellenic: Υπαίθρια Λαϊκή Δημοκρατία; Ypaíthria Laïkí Dimokratía), is a country comprising the island of Hypatia and several minor archipelagos. Hypatia is located in the northern Kayamuca, where the Kayamuca Sea and North Thalassan Ocean meet. It is south of Belfras and north of Ayeli. New Olympia is the largest city and capital; other major cities include Lyssarea and Efyra. The area of Hypatia is XXX square kilometers (XXX sq mi). The island of Hypatia is the second-largest island in the Kayamuca, with an area of XXX square kilometers (XXX sq mi), and the most populous with over 23 million inhabitants.
The territory that is now Hypatia was inhabited by the Situani people from the 3rd millennium BC until Mutulese colonisation in the 8th century AD and Latin colonisation in the 13th century. From the 13th century, it was a colony of Latium until Belfrasian independence in 1900, in which Hypatia became independent of the emerging Belfrasian Federation in the same year. As a fragile democracy, it swiftly fell under the oligarchic control of the plantation class and former colonial aristocracy. Social and political strife throughout the 1920s and 1930s would led to the establishment of the Neo Kratos under President Nikos Kasimatis. The dictatorship would last until 1970 when democratisation followed the death of Kasimatis, where the Hypatian Worker's League won a landslide. The leftist government dismantled the oligarchy and instituted popular reforms, while in turn undermining democratic institutions, allowing them to govern Hypatia uninterrupted to the present day.
Culturally, Hypatia is considered part of Latin Norumbria. It is a multiethnic country whose people, culture and customs derive from diverse origins, including the aboriginal Situani peoples, the long period of Mutulese and Latin colonialism, and mass migration from across Belisaria.
Hypatia was a founding member of the Organization of Latin States until its suspension in 1993 over its constitution and record of human rights abuses. It is a country noted for its bio-diversity and remains one of the few countries to meet the criteria of sustainable development. Its economy is dominated by exports of sugar, tobacco, coffee, light goods and skilled labor.
History
Geography
Government and politics
As per the 1992 constitution, Hypatia is a presidential republic, with the President possessing complete control of the executive, including the power to issue decrees, appoint his own cabinet, draw up the budget, dissolve parliament by calling early elections, and appoint individuals to key posts in the civil service and the judiciary. The president is held to account by the unicameral Popular Council, while the president is elected directly for five year terms, without limit.
Executive power is exercised by the President, while the legislative power is vested in the unicameral parliament, called the Popular Council of the Republic. The judiciary is nominally independent from the executive and the legislature, but the constitutional changes that came into effect with the 1992 constitution gave larger powers to the President and the ruling party for appointing or dismissing judges and prosecutors. The Constitutional Court is charged with ruling on the conformity of laws and decrees with the constitution. The Council of State is the tribunal of last resort for administrative cases, and the High Court of Appeals for all others.
Hypatia's democratic system is deeply controversial in that systemtic tools and powers have guaranteed the Hypatian Worker's League uninterrupted rule since 1970. Although the HWL has won re-election repeatedly, it has often been noted that elections have been rigged or skewed in favour of the governing party. Repeated cases of intimidation, using state media to aid the governing party and the abuse of provincial power to hinder opposition campaigning have been recorded.
