Kobolis, officially the Federation of Kobolis, is a developed country located in Western Astyria. It is composed of twelve states and one federal district, Olympea, which is also the nation's capital. The Federation is led by an elected President.

The Federation was established in the nineteenth century, in response to an invasion by Beriquois emperor Longin Bernadotte. The Articles of Unification, drafted and signed then, serve as the Federation's constitution.

Etymology

The Federation of Kobolis takes its name from the sub-continent of Kobolis, on which it is situated.

History

Pre Historic

Duders somehow end up on the subcontinent, most likely over some land bridge from Nikolia's direction or something.

Early history

First Great Rise (1000 BC - 700 BC)

Several city states in the area of modern Cygnethium bind together and form the first large political entity, the Ataian League. The resulting stability in the area resulted in higher crop yields and caused a population boom.

First Great Fall (700 BC - 500 BC)

The Great Rise came to an end at the hands of an invasion of nomadic tribes from the north. The Ataian League was not prepared and had suffered from increasingly inefficient bureaucracy and governance in the years prior, resulting in its fall. In the ensuing chaos, the Ataian League splintered, resulting in many small states that attempted to preserve as much wealth. The wars that followed saw a great decrease in trade, agricultural output and resulted in a loss of knowledge gained in the centuries prior.

Second Great Rise (500 BC - 200 AD)

In 500 BC, the Myrian Kingdom rose through prominence through military conquest. The Myrian Kingdom conquered much of the former territory of the Ataian League, restarting trade and allowing the agricultural output to soar again. The Myrian Kingdom also created Kobolis' first university, the university of Dycion.

Second Great Fall (200 - 600)

The Second Great Fall was caused by a large scale outbreak of a plague. The plague had a long incubation time, allowing the trade that had resulted in so much wealth for the Myrian Kingdom to carry it far and wide before its victims fell ill. Many administrative districts began plotting their own course to halt outsiders from bringing the disease once it was realized it was spreading, resulting in the collapse of unified rule and hundreds of cities, towns and villages attempting to survive on their own. The power vacuum that the central power had occupied was filled by warlords and bandit kingdoms.

Third Great Rise (600 - 1100)

Third Great Fall (1100 - 1500)

Fourth Great Rise (1500 - 1795)

Government and politics

Kobolis is a federal, parliamentary, representative democratic republic with a semi-presidental model. Federal legislative power is vested in the parliament consisting of the People's Council (lower house) and the Quorum of States (upper house).

Members of the People's Council are elected in direct elections using the mixed-member proportional representation system. Members of the Quorum of States represent and are appointed by the governments of the twelve federated states.

The president, currently Galen Howard, is the head of state and commander-in-chief of the military, can veto legislative bills before they become law and may appoint the prime minister. The president and vice president serve for a five year term and may be elected no more than thrice.

The prime minister is the head of government and nominated by the president and confirmed by the People's Council. The prime minister is responsible for domestic policy and day-to-day affairs and is responsible for the assembly of the Cabinet.

Constituent States

Kobolis is a federation and comprises of twelve constituent states. Each state has its own constitution and has broad autonomy in regard to its internal affairs.
