Eelav

**Overview**Military

**Eelav**, officially known as the **Commonwealth of Eelav**, is a Drodo nation located in the southern reaches of the Axanar region, a little South of Khimyat and to the East of Greater Kapricai. A relatively recent cretion in the Drodo Sector, it is frequently seen as the most junior of its nations, being a relatively new power in its own right.

Arising from the apocalyptic collapse of the **Technocratic March of Eelav**, a totalitarian technocratic Utopian state that utilized vat grown slave labor, the remnant space would fall under the purview of the Kingdom of Aratacia. Aratacia would practically rebuild the nation from scratch, with the devolved government of the Commonwealth forming around 490 BNAC, though it would quickly diverge from the government models of the Kingdom. Sans a spate of minor conflicts between the two, Eelav would peacefully be granted its independence in about 220 BNAC.

Eelavi Drodo, a subspecies of the greater Drodo kind, are the dominant people of Eelav. Hard nosed, rowdy, and rabidly distrusting of centralized authority, their country by extension is a reflection of these values. Centralized authority is entrusted to a lottery elected parliament of common laymen, who work with a bureaucratic civil service and judiciary arm to promulgate and pass law, though a lot of true authority rests in the hands of local governments. A strong civic culture of bureaucratic restraint keeps this government in check, enforced by the rather aggressive assertions of the people, which ultimately gives the government its mandate to exist.

## Government

The **Government of Eelav** is a weak federal stochocratic republic, which places a high emphasis on local authority, and in manners that do require a central government relies upon an empowered parliament with an accompanying judcial arm and civil bureaucracy. In many aspects of government function, Eelav took inspiration from the Kingdom of Aratacia, being a small federal government apparatus with an emphasis on civil services-- Though the approach, a parliamentary system verses a monarchy, was different.

### Parliament of Eelav

The **Parliament of Eelav** (commonly abbreviated as **PoE**), is the main unicameral legislature of Eelav, comprising of a hundred common laymen who are lottery selected to serve as lawmakers for a period of two years. The selection process is rather simple, all eligible persons who do not have a criminal record being liable to be selected, the actual lotteries being ran by the respective local government. It has a large degree of power, and effectively is the primary means by which the government exerts itself.

They are represented by the **Chief Parliamentarian**, a position that is elected by the parliament, and serves for a max period of two years.

#### Eelavi Civil Parliamentary Service

The **ECPS** is the assisting civil body when it comes to the day-to-day operations of the Parliament, being staffed by a mix of former parliamentarians and state employees. Most importantly, the ECPS intakes new parliamentarians from national lotteries and briefs them on the responsibilities of being a lawmaker, along with mock sessions and other aspects. They are overseen by the **Parliamentary Ombudsman**, a nationally elected position which sits for a term of eight years and is held responsible for assisting the ECPS in keeping a proper state of functioning-- Along with the ECPS' own organs.

The ECPS has a good reputation in the country and is separate from the Eelavi Uniformed Civil Service.

### President of Eelav

The **President of Eelav** is the elected head of state of the country, sitting for a max of two four-year terms, elections themselves not being subject to parties. Weak in their authority, they nevertheless have the ability to assemble their own **Cabinet of Ministers**, which then must be approved by the Parliament of Eelav. This cabinet, ostensibly, then forms the **Government of Eelav**, though by tradition is under the constant oversight of the Parliament.

#### Eelavi Uniformed Civil Service

The **Eelavi Uniformed Civil Service** (or **EUCS**) is the Eelavi counterpart to the Aratacian **Royal Uniformed Civil Service** (or **RUCS**), formed shortly after Eelav's independence and taking control of an utter hodgepodge of different administrations that formed haphazardly, for sometimes overtly specific tasks, during the ardeous centuries rebuilding process of the country. They perform much of the bureaucracy of the Eelavi state, along with filling institutions such as the Eelavi State Constabulatory.

As the name suggests, and taking inspiration from the RUCS, the EUCS is a uniformed service. Taking in men during their two-year conscript service, it is a military styled organization which on purpose is kept small, physically limiting the amount of extension the EUCS and their controlled bodies (such as the Eelavi Revenue Agency and Eelavi Property Valuation Agency, the main taxation bodies of the country) can do. It has a difficult job, given the scattered nature of Eelavi's administrative bodies, the country not yet having the chance to embark on a post-reconstruction rationalization.
