Karimun, officially the Federation of Karimun or Karimun Federation (Bahasa: Federasi Karimun, Karimunese: Federacia Karimun Jawa) is a country on the North-West part of Terraconserva landmass,
The sovereign state is a presidential, constitutional federation with an elected legislature. It has 18 provinces, of which 4 have a special status and 4 have a federal city status. Despite its fairly large population and densely populated regions, Karimun has vast areas of wilderness that support a high level of biodiversity. The country has abundant natural resources like oil and natural gas, coal, tin, copper, gold, and nickel, while agriculture mainly produces rice, palm oil, tea, coffee, cacao, medicinal plants, spices, and rubber.
Karimun consists of hundreds of distinct native ethnic and linguistic groups, with the largest—and politically dominant—ethnic group being the Ellis. A shared identity has developed, defined by a national language, ethnic diversity, religious pluralism within an atheist-majority population, and a history of peace and war against it. Karimun's national motto, "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" ("Unity in Diversity" literally, "many, yet one"), articulates the diversity that shapes the country.
Etymology
Karimun derives from the old language of Javanese Sanskrit (Kremur-kremur) meaning "escape" or "runaway". people said that the country was the place for the escapee, refugees, and dreamers to finally settled themselves. The name dates to the 17th century, far predating the formation of modern Karimun. Karimun was again popularly used by modern people in 1849 referring to the bay of Giovanni and the southern part of the peninsula. George Earl first used Karimun in his book about "Traditionalist Art: National & Unity" book.
After George Earl in the 19th century, Karimun became more common in academic circles outside the capital city, and native nationalist groups adopted it for political expression. Adolf Bastian, of the University of Giovanni, popularized the name through his book Karimunien oder die Inseln des Karimunien peninsular, 1884–1894. The first clear pro-federation scholar to use the name was Johnathan Tarbury when in 1913 he established a press bureau in the Giovanni, Karimunich Pers-bureau.
History
Ancient Kingdom of Java
Nathalie Melvante, a respected historian and one of the first woman scholars in 17th Century wrote in her book titled, Ancient Flowers about the Ancient Kingdom of Java.
The Ancient Kingdom of Java was ruled by Hendra Patravan, this kingdom was a majority Javan ethnicity kingdom ruled by an Ellis, a non-Javan, one of the prove that Religious and Race Tolerance in Karimun is amazing, the Javan people didn't care that their king wasn't Ellis, wasn't the same ethnicity nor religion as them. The capital city was Patravan.
The Kingdom only had 200 years of existence before their last king, Jaka Patravan or Jaka IV abdicated and divided the kingdom to two kingdoms, Java ruled by his son, Mulia Patravan and Madura ruled by his daughter, Amelia Patravan. Jaka IV died six months after his abdication.
Period of Separation
Period of Separation happened after Jaka IV signed the abdication letter and agreed to divide the kingdom towards his children, Mulia and Amelia, their inauguration, and mass migration after. Period of Separation also happened for 20 years according to another Historian named Alexander Yuliandra.
The Java Kingdom with Ky as the capital city, ruled by Mulia Patravan experienced many difficulties, from drought in the north til separatist movement in the south bordering Karimun, his sister's kingdom. King Mulia led the nation through many challenges. He was hated by the whole country, he wasn't cruel or evil king, he was just too naive or made some rushed decisions without consulting with his advisors angering several elites as well.
Different from his brother's kingdom, Madura experienced prosperity and everyone loved their queen, Queen Amelia I, Queen of All was her title. Queen Amelia I led the nation with a fair hand, wise, and respecting everyone equally, she built the nation with patience and calculation, she didn't make rushed decision compared to her brother. The capital city was Marriott.
Reunification & United Kingdom of Jamadura
After the period of separation for exactly 20 years since Jaka IV divided the kingdom, 20 years since the last time both of his children contacted each other, and 20 years less after Jaka IV took his last breath living his children on his own without any guidance, things had happened to both Kingdoms.
King Mulia faced several problems as he led the country, elites were protesting about his taxation program that took their property and they were all unsatisfied with the King pulling their support and migrating to a better neighbor, Karimun under Queen Amelia I was in the Golden Era, they just finished renovating the seaport allowing more and more trade going in; more people were being employed by the Port, and Agricultural & Textiles were exported outside allowing the treasury to tax them and used them for the education and better infrastructure.
But even though both nations were separated by their conditions and situations, both monarchs, King Mulia and Queen Amelia I were united, they had their sibling connection, King Mulia under the Parliament pressure still think about his sister and Queen Amelia I while she was hearing the praise and pleas of her people, her brother was always in her mind. They still loved and cared for each other even though they both were rival to his father's throne, they regretted making the decision to fight for the throne resulting in the divide of the kingdom, people, and families.
One day, when King Mulia was on Hunting Trip in the Jawa part of Lovial Forest and Queen Amelia I was attending a Madura Traditional Tea Party in Madura part of Lovial Forest, there was a cloud of smoke in the air which caught both of the royals attention, King Mulia immediately ordered the guards to bring some water same with what Queen Amelia doing, they both ran towards the source of the smoke in the air in a Karimun Traditional House where coincidently they met each other, apparently, they were also meeting in an abandoned village that was literally divided in the middle, now named Johenavi.
They reunited and together came back to the original capital city before the divide, Patravan where The Palace of Patravan is located, they signed an agreement to reunite the kingdom under the name, Jamadura with Patravan as the capital city and abdicated together living their life as brother and sister, they gave the kingdom to their cousin, Mace Omanuel where Mace aggressively reformed the country, swept corruption, and reconnected the poor and underdeveloped region of Jawa and the wealthy and developed region of Madura infrastructure.
1st Republic
For 550 years since the reunification, 15 kings and queens ruled and it was called The Period of 15 Goldens, several other family relatives from Omanuel and Patravan became king & queens creating House of Patravan aka House of Silver resembling Silver Lion in their emblem and House of Omanuel aka House of Gold resembling the Golden River and Eagle in their emblem.
The last king, Jihan Omanuel from Omanuel Houses designed and ordered to build five royal palaces, fifteen mansion all over the country, built statues of himself and put it in several places, he also agreed on several money-wasting megaprojects that benefit only the elites resulting an empty treasury where King Jihan blamed his own treasurer for emptying his treasure and jailed him for betrayal when he denied it and said it was the king himself who spent it for his personal thing.
The people were mad, angry, and resentful towards the elites partying and having the joy of life in Patravan City so on the May 3rd - today its commemorated as Lucky Purple Day, the thousands of men and women marched towards the Palace of Patravan waving or wearing the Ungu color or purples as a symbol of revolt, the color of purple was forbidden to be worn by the commoners, purple was the symbol of Jamadura Royal and Elites.
People who named themselves Revolute led by Marcus DiAgnocio then marched inside the palace when Royals & Elites were celebrating 11th Birthday of Queen Jillian IV's dog, Gorgon, they destroyed the main gate and blocked the north & west gate, they vandalized the palace, estimated $ 12 Million of today's currency was destroyed or stolen in the process, a lot of golds, diamonds, jewelries, and even the Piano was stolen.
Maria, DiAgnocio's wife was a servant to the Royal Palace, she and several elites & members of the royal family who called themselves Thelma's Teacup Group who disagreed with how the other royals acted cooperated and sided with Revolute, they hid in a secret room for maids and servants behind The Cursed Smile painting by Agea Paramount where they immediately stripped the Royal Badge stripping them from Royalty or Blue Bloods.
DiAgnocio then captured all the rest Royals and Elites including King Jihan Omanuel and Queen Jillian IV where according to Diagnocio's Diary titled White Pearl, Queen Jillian IV's dress was stained by his blood. King Jihan and Queen Jillian IV were jailed immediately in Jupiter Prison along with others like Tiara Mawar, Haslan II, etc without any trial when the next day, the prison where the Royals & Elites were being jailed mysteriously on fire, none was trying to save them, not even the guards, they weren't there when the prison is on fire, historian suspected that Diagnocio secretly ordered them to rest early or burned down the prison with the Royals inside. That part of the history was blacklisted for decades before, in 1900, the government released the data regarding the tragedy and apologized for it.
After all of this, Marcus DiAgnocio from the Revolute, Ignasius Xavier from the former royals, and Thalia Grace from the former elites signed the abolishment of Monarch and creation of 1st Republic of Karimun.

Government
Karimun Federation has Federal Presidential Republic with the "highest authority is on the hands of the people" and "people exercise their rights through democratic elections to elect the representative of all people who have different solutions on a same problem". The Karimun Federation has three branches, the federation used to have three plus the monarch equals four but since the monarch is disbanded, Karimun has only three,
Executive
The executive branch of Karimun is headed by a president, who is head of government and head of state. The president is elected by the general election and can serve up to two five continuous year terms if reelected. The executive branch also includes a vice-president and a cabinet. All bills need joint approval between the executive and the legislature to become law, meaning the president has veto power over all legislation. The president also has the power to issue presidential decrees that have policy effects, and they are also in charge of Karimun's international relationships, although they require legislative approval for treaties. Prior to 1945, the president was chosen by the MPR, but the president is currently selected through a national election. The last election was held in April 2020, and a new guy, Thamrin Edelweiss emerged as the winner with Johan Apollo as his VP.
Legislative
The MPR is the legislative branch of Karimun's political system. The MPR is composed of two houses: the DPR, which is commonly called the People's Representative Council, and the DPD, which is called the Regional Representative Council. The 575 DPR parliamentarians are elected through multi-member electoral districts, whereas 4 DPD parliamentarians are elected in each of Karimun's 18 administrative divisions. The DPR holds most of the legislative power because it has the sole power to pass laws. The DPD acts as a supplementary body to the DPR; it can propose bills, offer its opinion and participate in discussions, but it has no legal power. The MPR itself has power outside of those given to the individual houses. It can amend the constitution, inaugurate the president and conduct impeachment procedures. When the MPR acts in this function, it does so by simply combining the members of the two houses.
Judicial
The Supreme Court of Karimun (Javanese: Mahkamah Agung) is the highest level of the judicial branch. It hears final cessation appeals and conducts case reviews. Its judges are appointed by the president. Most civil disputes appear before the State Court (Pengadilan Negeri); appeals are heard before the High Court (Pengadilan Tinggi). Other courts include the Commercial Court, which handles bankruptcy and insolvency; the State Administrative Court (Pengadilan Tata Usaha Negara) to hear administrative law cases against the government; the Constitutional Court (Mahkamah Konstitusi) to listen to disputes concerning the legality of the law, general elections, dissolution of political parties, and the scope of authority of state institutions; and the Religious Court (Pengadilan Agama) to deal with codified Islamic Law (sharia), Catholic, and other religions cases. Additionally, the Judicial Commission (Komisi Yudisial) monitors the performance of judges.
