Republic of Pannonia

The Republic of Pannonia is a Season 2 Nation located in the Pannonian Basin. After the KoH, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire kinda, fell apart, the Republic of Pannonia took the towns of Ljubljana, Kolozsvár (Now Cluj-Napoca) and Kanyon under it's wing to remake the Country. Unlike most of the GeoFacts Server, Pannonia is a parlamentary Democracy with seats of Parliament and an elected Prime Minister.

## Politics

Pannonia is one of the only Parliamentary Democracies in the Geofacts server, with a parliament which has 11 seats. 10 Seats for elected members of parliament and 1 for the Prime Minister. The MP seats are distributed by the population of a town, with Cluj-Napoca and Ljubljana having 3MP seats each, Liberia having 2 seats and Eger and Bosnia having 1MP seat each. The Prime Minister usually becomes the leader of the party that gained the most votes.

## History of the politics in Pannonia

**Note that all of this might be biased. It was likely written by a participant of the events.**

Pannonia is very widely known for it's Politics, the country was literally formed due to an internal crisis, and has a large history behind it's Political Scene.

The first Pannonian, or back then, Hungarian elections were held on the 24th of April with the NDP & GSP coalition party gaining 82.5% of the vote and the ruling POG party gaining 17.5% of the vote. After the elections, the defeated leader of POG and Former King Dani1005 left the country for unknown reasons, and so all the power was now in the hands of NDP & GSP. After the Kingdom of Hungary fell apart, the country was basically in a state of instability but due to some very quick military, social and agricultural reforms of the new government, the country regained stability until Vienna joined to make the Austro-Hungarian Empire... Which lasted a day due to an argument between Douglas and Jungle concerning the division of power. Then, finally, the Republic of Pannonia was made after Vienna left to make it's own Empire.

This whole series of events occurred over 3 days and that was only the most important parts. If you want to know more about what happened, go & check out the page on the Budapest Crisis here.

The next elections were held on 25th of June 2022. The race was intense, with NDP running for re-election, against the Social Democrats (PSP) and the Communists (PP). However, due to NDP's successful rallying of the people, especially in the rural areas and the south of the country, the elections showed a clear result.

With NDP winning the elections, DOGULAS\_MACNUKE was given another 1,5 months in office by Pannonian people

or so we thought .

since the cretion of Pannonian Bessarabian Union, new ideas begun shifting in to the political space especialy from Odessa MP and the leader of the National Bessarabian party Nyklor. and it started with reforms and law ideas but one night , one of the most influential moments happned , that shook the nation to its core. there was a serious threat and a play of the soviets , to attack the town of Odessa , so naturaly the enitre army avalible was mobilised , and came to prepare odessa for a attack that.... never came . Nyklor was very devestaded at what Odessa was turned in to . so he and a substantial minority of MPs tarted demanding new elections and the resignation of DOUGLAS\_MACNUKE as the prime minister and for new elections . Now , the prime minister , was also very devestated , and tierd. so after seeing pressure put on him , he honourably gave a speech in which he resigned as the Prime Minister and the leader of the largest party NDP and announced that new elections will be happening.And so , it was over . the career of some would call the most brilliant and experianced politicians on the server . the soul person who creted the democracy and the sistem that pannonians can enjoy. and so , everything seemed like Pannonia would move on from what happend . after a night of sleep . DOUGLAS\_MACNUKE woke up to see the nation in dissaray . Towns leaving .extereme political parties forming and the people took notice . to be clear the Approval rating of the prime minister DOUGLAS\_MACNUKE was Very good . in fact the latest pool showed that 81.4% of the people said that he was the greatest politican in pannonian history .So when the people inevitably noticed that the nation was nearing exticntion . they cheered DOUGLAS\_MACNUKE to return . and it took some convincing . but at the end he was convinced , and started the People Democratic Front movment . and The MPs were suprisingly very supportive of his return . The elections were called off and the PDF had 10/18+1 parlamentary seats

But on the 20 of july 2022 Odessa with the mayority of Bessarabia left due to "cancelation of elections" . and due to this development , the parlament voted to set the number of parlament sats back to 10MP seats + 1 PM seat . two days later on the 22nd , DOUGLAS\_MACNUKE reunited the PDF with his old party NDP forming NDP/PDF and so , For the first time in the history of Pannonian democracy , with a 9/10 Majority of MPseats NDP/PDF could change the constitution as ffor that is requierd a 9/10 majority.

#### THE NEW CHAPTER OF PANNONIAN POLITICS

It was at this time , the longest serving and by that point the only PM that ever rulled Pannonia DOUGLAS\_MACNUKE , started having thoughts about leaving politics , and letting the new generation , that came to pannonia under him , take over the politics of pannonia . and his thoughts became reality when on the 28th of July , when he made a heart felt speach , in which he thanked people for electiong and following him . he also awarded every citizen 100$ to show his apreciation . so after 21000$ spent on his people and nation , DOUGLAS\_MACNUKE announced that he will not be running for reelection in the 15th of August elections . and thus , a New Pollitica reality was formed . after the internal leadership elections KDK won over RacOwOn and became the next leader of the largest Democratic party on the server the NDP/PDF . but after that , some people especialy those who dislike KDK , or just want to do things diffrently . and so NDP/PDF split in to 3 parties = NDP/PDF which is the party of KDK , very centrist in every aspect of politics . FRP who are a Centrist party , concerned more about the economy and military . and finnaly PNP , a Right Wing , meme party that will make "Pannonia Great again" and make a wall at the southern border. The elections are comming soon , but for now it seems that a coalition government is unavidable , as no party seems to have the mayority of the people on their side. how ever , trends have shown that PNP is curretnly on a fast track to be the most popular party , followed by FRP whos popularity has grown a little but , and NDP , whos populatiry has dropped in recent days.

## Religion

The Republic has 2 main religions, Johnism and Carlianity. Johnism is a religion where John the Sheep is their God and leads them through hardship. Carlianity is a religion where Carl Wheezer is their God and Saint. Surprisingly, both religions get along really well with each other despite the obvious fact that they believe in 2 separate Gods. They got along even better when John got killed by a Bandit in Kolozsvar since Carl, being sad seeing his best friend go, decided to help the Johnists even more.

## Geography

Pannonia, as you can guess, is located primarily within the Pannonian Basin with the exceptions being Liberia and Stratsbourg. The Mining outpost of Kanyon in Eger is the most northern outpost in Pannonia while the Galapagos Island outpost in Cluj-Napoca is most southern outpost in Pannonia. The longest river in the country, the Danube, starts in Stratsbourg and continues downstream into Budapest where it carries on into the Black Sea.

Luckily for Pannonia, the Mines underneath Budapest and Eger are filled with Gold and were the primary source for the Countries income during the beginning of S2. Iron is also in high abundance, primarily found in the Carpathians to the North and near the Danube in the South.

## The pros & the cons of Pannonia

While yes, Pannonia is a big nation with a large army and enough resources to build a skyscraper out of Obsidian, it isn't perfect. Here's a list of Pros for Pannonia and a list of Cons for Pannonia.

### **Pros:**

* Tons of Resources
* Uncorrupted Government
* Large Military
* One of the Largest nations on the Server
* Everyone's mostly friendly

### **Cons:**

* Most of the Resource deposits have been dried up
* Frequent raiders
* Some counties in Pannonia are extremely poor and have no infrastructure at all except for some small huts

Just to note, just because there is a list of cons doesn't mean the country isn't good. For the most part, Pannonia is currently going through a Golden Age and most of the Cons on this will probably be fixed by the next time this page is updated.

## Diplomacy

### **Alliances:**

* Bavaria - Allied
* The Netherlands - Closely Allied
* The Soviet Union - Allied
* People's Republic of China - Allied
* Denmark - Allied
* Sweden - Allied
* Iceland - Allied
* Konigsberg - Allied

After the conference of Liberia (8th of July, 2022), the Republic of Pannonia laid out their demands for a merge with the Kingdom of Bessarabia, which has been approved by both parties. However later Pannonia-Bessarabia fell apart.

After the invasion by Peru, Pannonia joined the reformed Hanseatic League.

## The breakup & reunification

On August 23rd, the Republika Slovenija declared independence from the Republic of Pannonia due to "political reasons", being made up of the towns of Ljubljana & Eger. In retaliation to this, the Carpathian Kingdom, made up of Budapest, Cluj-Napoca, Craiova & Odessa, would also declare independence as the new head of the Pannonian Government. This would only leave the town of Celovec in Pannonia.

On August 23rd, the new Prime Minister of the Republic of Pannonia, AppleHead, had just been elected, and for a few days, things were relatively normal.

There are multiple versions of this story, with both sides accusing each other of starting the civil war. This is a blend of the two different versions, with edits being made by both sides.

Until, just a few days later after AppleHead had gained the title and the power of the Prime Minister; the former Prime Minister of Pannonia, DOUGLAS\_MACNUKE had organized a so-called "protest" in front of the Johnist Church in Cluj-Napoca. He, and his friends from Ljubljana and Eger alike had gathered in front of the building, and had begun vandalizing it with all sorts of materials, such as wood, obsidian, etc. After which, they shortly entered the building itself where they saw the Bishop's dog, which they decided to kill, due to being provoked by the other hyped-up members of said protest.

Things eventually cooled down, and after that, the Mayor of Cluj-Napoca, HopgrassJr had complained to the Prime Minister and the Police Station of Pannonia. After hearing these shocking news, the Prime Minister decided to sentence both Douglas and his accomplices at a jailtime of 15 days. With the outrage having just started, Nykllor, the ruler of the Odessa, claimed that Douglas had rigged the previous Pannonian elections to create a landslide for himself, and to assure a victory.

Outraged and in peril, the towns of Eger & Ljubljana had made an emergency escape nation, the Republika Slovenija, in order to flee from said jailtime and the accusations that would later pursue them. This would eventually further boost the Civil War, as the towns of Cluj-Napoca, Budapest, Craiova and Odessa would form a previously planned emergency nation, the Kingdom of Carpathia. This would only leave Celovec as the sole standing town of the Republic of Pannonia, said town also being ruled by the current Prime Minister, AppleHead.

The once Republic of Pannonia split into three remnants of itself, leaving a small shadow of its former glory behind. These are the following nations that the former Republic of Pannonia split into, and their towns:

* Republika Slovenika - Ljubljana & Eger
* The Carpathian Kingdom - Budapest, Cluj-Napoca, Craiova & Odessa
* Republic of Pannonia - Celovec

**Under yet unknown circumstances, Pannonia has reunified.**
