The Hellenic Republic is an Aparthied Republic located in Tellurium which makes up the numerous islands of !Egypt. Its geopolitical situation is precarious with the much larger but less centralized UFUR to the East with the distitue !Lybia to the East.
Much like the UFUR the Hellenic Republic was born from the shattering of the Suvarian Empire, however, unlike the entirety of the other minorities from the fallen Turkic empire who fell under the sway of the UFUR the Greeks of !Egypt formed their own state based on the old Greek Republic of the late 15th century.
Though free from Suvarian control the Greeks found they had another problem, the people within their own country. Though having made the islands of !Egypt their home for thousands of years they were still a minority within their own country with the native Copts outnumbering them almost 2 to 1.
Politics
Government
The Republic was heavily based on ancient Greek principles on a democracy. The founders took great influence from !Athens by allowing every citizen an equal vote as well as a high voter participation in all sections of government. The catch being the part where only citizens can vote. In order to maintain control of the government in which they are both a cultural and religious minority the government gave citizenship to all Greek citizens but only selectively to minorities with the rest being given residence passes.
Like many governments the Republic has two houses, the Council and Assembly. The Upper House is designed to represent the interests of the Greek People as a whole. By contrast the Lower House governs the day to day affairs of the individual states within the Republic. Elements of direct democracy are also omnipresent within the government. Many state level policies are directly voted on, members of the houses are subject to recall, and changes to the constitution require direct votes.
