Kerguelen

The **Republic of Hunniedian Kerguelen,** and commonly referred to as the **Kerguelen,** is a representative democracy currently run by cvkoning, located in the Kerguelen archipelago. It was formally a colony of the Second Ekhinine Empire, yet declared independence on January 15, 2018. It was given full independence by Ggaming4u on January 28, 2018. The Kerguelen is commonly referred to as the spiritual successor of Greater Lazon.

## History

### Collapse of Greater Lazon

Greater Lazon had been heading for collapse for a while, before the once superpower finally collapsed on November 18, 2017. cvkoning, the ruler of Greater Lazon, sought to be under Ekhinine influence due to its democratic elements, and asked to become a colony of Ekhinni. While Ggaming4u initially wanted a Lazonese Republic, he didn't turn down the offer. Thus, the Ekhinine Colony of the Kerguelen was formed.

### Stroopwafel Party

On November 24, 2017, the Ekhinine political parties received a reformation. Kerguelen asked for proper representation within parliament and annexation into ekhinni, and so the Stroopwafel Party was set up and **the Autonomous Province of the Kerguelen** were created. It was a more conservative political entity, which was loyal to the monarch and wished for Ekhinni to become a great power. They did not have any radical ideas. Due to this, the Stroopwafels became arguably the most powerful party in parliament, with 2 members, and a third wanting to join (this was prevented due to Article 10). The Stroopwafels took de-facto control of Kerguelen, and it has been referred to as the "Ekhinine Colony of the kerguelen" by some skeptics.

### Villager Rights

On December 15, 2017, cvkoning introduced the "Villager Rights Policy" (VRP), which gave Villagers equal rights to citizens; the first faction in the world to do so. The Villager population in Kerguelen increased to around 10-30, with most of them having their own structure. The Stroopwafel Party passed a bill to parliament, requesting that the VRP be enforced around the entire Ekhinine state. It passed, and the Ekhinine constitution gained two new articles related to villagers:

* Villagers have equal right to citizens and killing them is considered a homicide.
* In the event of villagers being housed, the minimum size for a house or occupation for a villager is 4x4x3 blocks.

### Declaration of Independence

On January 14, 2018, 5 citizens ran for Prime Minister, from 4 different parties. The reigning Prime Minister cvkoning in the Stroopwafel Party, SkylarWeston in the National Bolshevik Party, MerryMerryJerry in the GEAP, and Iowa\_Mapping with DENISPlayz\_MC in the Democratic Party. In a controversial speech, SkylarWeston began attacking Floepidan Culture, claiming them to be "immature Dutch fucks" . cvkoning heavily objected to this racism, yet SkylarWeston rallied the GEAP and even the Democratic Party, proving his skill as a politician and a speaker. The 3 parties formed an unofficial coalition against the Stroopwafels, and SkylarWeston was elected Prime Minister. Due to this, cvkoning and MYRetienneDDG left Ekhinni and joined the Floepidan Federation. While initially claiming the Kerguelen as Floepidan territory, Ekhinni reoccupying the area but the Floepidan Federation reclaimed it and for the next two weeks, it remained Floepidan territory. However, Ggaming4u offered cvkoning an independent Kerguelen and recocnised by Ekhinni, and he took the offer.

## Government and Politics

The Autonomous Province of the Kerguelen, like its name dictates, is an Autonomous Province. However Ggaming4u has rejected this idea, claiming that Kerguelen is too far away to be part of mainland Ekhinni.

The Kerguelen are governed by the Stroopwafel party and they also have their headquarters there.

## Claimed Territory

The Autonomous of the Kerguelen is located mostly on the Kerguelen archipelago, with small tips of foreign lands.

### List of Cities

#### **New Vur**

Much like Greater Lazon, the only real city in the nation is the capital, New Vur. It is a region described as stunning by Ggaming4u, with beaches, frozen lakes, regular lakes, jungle trees, and more.

## Culture

The culture of Kerguelen is complex, to say the least. Kerguelen culture has been descried as a Hunniedic-Ekhinine hybrid by Ggaming4u. The Kerguelen still celebrates Sheepism, yet it is far more relaxed than in the Lazon days. Kerguelen does not inherit dedication and tolerance, yet cvkoning picked up the joking nature of Ekhinine's.

#### Flag

The Kerguelen's flag was designed immediately after the formation of the colony, by cvkoning. The blue represents the ice and water surrounding the island. The Mulberry (red-purple in the middle) is a nod to cvkoning's original faction, Greater Lazon, and the vastness shows how Floepish culture has expanded so far and how Hunniedic culture lives on. The green represents the grass and life on the Kerguelen, which most of the other icy regions lack. And, of course, the Fleur-de-lis is the royalty of Ekhinni leaving its mark.

## Trivia

* Ggaming4u proposed the name Ekhzon for the colony, as a mixture of the names Ekhinni and Lazon, and as a soft refrence to Ekhida.
* Ggaming4u has repeatedly offered for cvkoning to become independent, yet they truly wished to remain a part of Ekhinni untill skylar became anti-floepidan.
