Bovido State of Pindorama

The **Holy Bovido State of Pindorama and Magisterium Provinces** (Latin: **Sancta Civitas Pindorama et Magisterium Provinciarum**), commonly known as **Bovido Pindorama**, was a largely autonomous federal state of the Bovido Imperium of Hassian States from November 1, 2030 onwards. The state was unique within the Bovido Imperium as being governed by an entirely separate church to the Imperium Clergy, which dominated every other province of the regime.

Following the Has Wars of 2020-2022, the Holy Empire of Bovido Has was forcefully dissolved and collapsed into factional rump states across the middle east and north Africa. In August 2028, the remnant states Egypt Has and the Jerusalem Bovido merged together to form the Bovido Imperium of Hassian States in the middle east, after the Bovido Hassian Contingency eradicated most of the remnant states scattered across Eurasia. In 2029, the Holy Republic of Saint Joseph's Devotees under the leadership of Marisa Belacqua began to make negotiations with Bovido imperator Anton Ujung to merge the two states together along an ideological basis, with both states zealously following the Faith; on November 1, 2030, St. Joseph's Devotees ascended into the Bovido Imperium and was restructured as the Holy State of Pindorama and Magisterium Provinces, becoming the third member state of the imperium after Jerusalem State and North Africa.

As part of the region's integration into the Bovido Imperium, the Magisterium was permitted to remain as the dominant force in Pindorama and Marisa Belacqua was retained as the regional leader under essentially the same constitution, with the name of the office of president of the Devotees simply being changed to prime minister of Pindorama to fit in with the Bovido system. In 2033, following the Christmas Attacks several months into the Conquest of Africa, Bovido imperator Anton Ujung briefly moved his imperial court to Brasilia after fleeing Jerusalem, before returning in early 2034. In February 2034, Operation Avestor was launched from Pindorama, with Bovido armed forces travelling across the Atlantic to invade the United Arab Republic. In January 2036, Prime Minister Belacqua travelled to Jerusalem to play a role in the 2036 Bovido Coup d'état, and managed to secure increased autonomy for her province under the leadership of new imperator Julios Cragen. Following the Shanghai Pact's encirclement of Jerusalem in the winter of 2037-8, Marisa Belacqua proclaimed the state of Pindorama to be a fully autonomous region of the Bovido Imperium on March 13, 2038.

The state of Pindorama was governed by the Magisterium, who were responsible for electing a prime minister to serve as the region's leader - as the rulers of the region for nearly 50 years prior to the inclusion of Pindorama as a Bovido state, the Magisterium possessed a highly skilled and streamlined bureaucracy to govern the province. As part of the region's ascension into the imperium, the pre-existing title of President of the Devotees was replaced with the office of Prime Minister of Pindorama. As the leader of one of the federal states of the Bovido Imperium, the prime minister of Pindorama was automatically a member of the Grand Council of the Bovido Imperium and reported to the Cardinal of the Holy Clergy on matters of political policy. The prime minister was entitled to cast a vote if the matter of impeachment from the role of imperator was put to the Grand Council, as happened in 2036 with the dismissal of Imperator Anton Ujung. In 2038, Pindorama was the sight of the Grand Council meeting between Nicholas Azure, Marisa Belacqua, Amar Sato and Yesu Soong which formally impeached Imperator Julios Cragen
