## **History**

### **Pre-Republica**

During the Sutya Dynasty, Emperor Fei Ming Xoe (posthumous: Foi Pra Ban Tei) united the city states of the Tuñalon region. However, after his death, a corrupt and forceful transfer of power led to an unstable political climate and eventually led to the invasion of the Oshans. The Oshan Empire had incorporated the Sutya city states into its territory and ruled for 3 centuries before the Fraha Empire had established on the western border and broke off from Osha Mallor. During the Dark Ages, little is known, but the Salambaton Empire had taken over and held the territory subject to Emperor Devastin II. The Koryon Invasion in the Tuñalon Region had affected the Salambaton Empire. It is suspected that the Koryon occupation had led to the influence of Koryonic and Rustrionic culture, including the introduction of the Anju script (no longer in use). During the Korya-Oshkan War, the Oshkants took control of the land and ruled over the area until the Oshkan Union had collapsed and separated into the various separate sovereign states.

### **The Frahann Republic**

After the fall of the Oshkan Union, the region of Tuñalon had developed into the Frahann Republic. It included the provinces of West Tuñalon (Ouest Tunyalón; present-day Asarr Province), Tuñ Xao and South Tuñ Xao (present-day Tung Xao), and Malagaxy. The Republic had maintained a capital in the City of Huáng Xuà in West Tuñalon (now known as the Huáng Dò Autonomous Region).

In the neghbouring Oshkan Republic, a violent terrorist group known as SAGMENA (Óshka: SARGMENK) who had tried to separate from the government and establish the Sargha Goghan, a partially recognised nation. After many failed attempts of toppling the Oshkan government, Sadraha Melein, the leader of the group, had proclaimed himself as Head of State in the Frahann Republic. Through the use of propaganda, he was able to build a small following for himself. However, after 10 years in office, Melein had died in office and his son took over.

Xai Men Toí (born Sadraha Borengh) took a more authoritative approach to government and attempted to convert the nation into a dictatorship. After an unsuccesful attempt to abolish the Great Mahana (Building of Representatives), a revolutionist party named ASAMBA led the overthrow of Men Toí. In a five day riot, the capital of Huáng Xuà was destroyed and left in ruins. Most of the inhabitants had followed the group North towards Baitankalonsuiitanam (H.X: Krùng Xap Põs).

### **The Kingdom of Frahanlandie**

The inhabitants had arrived at Baitankalonsuiitanam after one week. Starving and tired, the citizens of the city had provided food and shelter. A man had claimed it to be the "holiest of the land," and the city was established as the capital of the new Kingdom of Frahanlandie.

Due to poor administration in the Republic, many wanted a stronger central figure to look up to. However, they also wanted to make sure a dictatorship like the one attempted by Men Toí would not be possible in the future, As a result, the Constitution was written and adopted with checks and balances, an idea heavily borrowed by the Americans of the United States.

Soon after, Pramit Svargum was pronounced Head Reich of the Kingdom. His first policy was to rename Baitankalonsuiitanam to Bosse-Neuv from Brazilian *Bossa Nova*, meaning "new wave." He explained he wanted to honour those who had rebelled against the oppressive regime of Men Toí by comparing them to a "new wave, a new day, a new nation.

## **Government, Politics, and Administration**

The Kingdom of Frahanlandiē formally recognises the Head Reich (King) as the supreme leader of the Kingdom. The Reich of the Kingdom serves as the religious, traditional, cultural, and political head of state. The Reich holds the power to appoint new provincial Reichs and appoint new judges for the Royal Court of Justice (Le Courte Royal de Justice). The Reich of the Kingdom possesses the right to propose new bills to be submitted to His Royal Cabinet before being sent to Parliament for official procedure. The Reich of the Kingdom also has the power to call for a state of emergency and possesses the right to close provincial borders, with the approval of the Prime Minister.

### **Prime Minister**

The Prime Minister of the Kingdom is the Reich’s first advisor and shall proceed to carry out a majority of royal duties. He shall be appointed by the Head Reich with the advisory of His Royal Cabinet, agreed upon by Parliament, and voted upon by the citizens of the Kingdom. The Prime Minister:

Other rights are given to the Prime Minister that are not listed on the Constitution. If one may question the rights exhibited by the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister must hold a public conference with the citizen regarding the question. If the question relates to a violation of natural rights provided to all citizens, the prosecutor may take the case to the Royal Court of Justice. Should the Head Reich resign from office or leave under extenuating circumstances, the Prime Minister shall take over as acting Head Reich until a new Head Reich has been appointed and voted upon by Parliament.

### **Head of State**

The Head of State is an office appointed by the Head Reich. In addition to the Reich of the Kingdom, the Head of State is the official representative of the Kingdom of Frahanlandiē, which includes the Kingdom’s six provinces, one unorganised territory, one autonomous region, and one administrative municipality. The Head of State shall represent the nation in foreign affairs and is required to attend all meetings held by Parliament, the Royal Cabinet, and must meet with the Prime Minister and Head Reich to discuss foreign affairs.

### **The Royal Cabinet and Parliament**

A Royal Cabinet (sometimes referred to as His Royal Cabinet or Le Cabinete Real) shall be established. The Cabinet shall hold the Prime Minister and the Head Reich’s trusted advisees in assisting with the decisions and proposals made by the Head Reich. Each member of the Royal Cabinet must be present to all meetings held called for by the Head Reich. The Head Reich has the right to remove or appoint new advisors to His Royal Cabinet.

To assist in the affairs of the Kingdom, a body shall be established to vote, discuss, and propose new bills and policies. The body shall be known as Parliament. The Parliament’s main purpose is to vote on bills and proposals to be enacted on the Kingdom. Each province shall elect two representatives for the National Board. The National Board shall introduce proposals brought forth and shall vote among the other members. If the proposal passes, it may be brought directly to the House of Representatives, the Head Reich or Prime Minister. If it does not pass, the National Board may send the proposal to the House of Representatives for further discussion. The House of Representatives shall hold members from each province. Each province shall be allotted a number of representatives that is proportional to the population of the province. The Fourth Schedule establishes the allotted number of representatives in Parliament. Each member shall be elected for a staggered four year term.

A National Assembly (L’Assembelíe Naconale) shall be established in determining policies and legislation that will affect the Kingdom. The National Assembly shall consist of the Head Reich, the Prime Minister, the Head of State, the Royal Cabinet, and all members of Parliament.

### **Provincial Reichs**

Each province is administered by the Reich of that province. Each provincial Reich nominated or appointed by the Head Reich, the Prime Minister, or the Board of the province, and is voted upon by the citizens of that province. The provincial Reich is responsible for maintaining a record of the status of the province, including, but not limited to the status of:

• The province in general

• The capital city of the province (as the provincial Reich is also the mayor of the provincial capital unless otherwise agreed upon by the Board of the province, the citizens, and the provincial Rieich)

• All towns and cities under the jurisdiction of the province

• All unincorporated townships and villages of the province

• Natural reserves, parks, and other uninhabited subjects under the jurisdiction of the province

• The economic status of the province

Other duties of the provincial Reich may be discussed with the Prime Minister, Head Reich, the Royal Board, and Parliament.

### **Huáng Dò**

In the Huáng Dō Autonomous Region, a Head of State shall be established in place of a provincial reich. The Head of State shall follow the same requirements and duties as a provincial reich. However, as the region does not necessarily have to follow all of the policies enacted by the central government without the acceptance by the Head of State, the HDAR may also discuss altering the required duties of the Head of State with the Head Reich, the Prime Minister, the Royal Cabinet, and Parliament. In addition, the Head of State must also establish and maintain a record regarding the status of the Han Tzî Reserve, as it is under the jurisdiction of the HDAR.

### **Towns and Cities**

In each town and city, a municipal hall shall serve as the local government. Each town and city shall appoint and vote upon one mayor every 4 years to serve as their representative and to carry out duties for the betterment of the town. The exceptionto the 4 year term is with the provincial capital, where the provincial Reich shall remain mayor for the duration of his or her term. The duties may be listed under the town or city’s Official Document of Municipality, which is a document that proves of the legitimacy of the community’s status as a city or town, and must be agreed upon by the provincial reich.

In unorganised territories such as the Óskpul Territory, a representative may be appointed by the people to lead in duties in maintaining the territory. He or she is also encouraged to attend meetings by the Royal Government that are attended by the provincial Reichs and the Head of State of the HDAR. However, the representative holds little to no jurisdiction in political affairs and is only an observer. In other words, while the representative of Óskpul Territory may be permitted to propose points and discuss with other provincial Reichs and attend, he or she is not permitted to vote. However, such restrictions may be removed under the approval of Parliament and the Prime Minister.

In unincorporated towns, villages, townships, or other communities,, a municipal government has not been established to deal with local affairs. In this case, the unincorporated community will fall into one of two jurisdictions:

It will be administered under the government of a local town or city. For example, in Nautica Province, Foxtrot Township is a township that does not hold a municipal government of some sort. Instead, it is administered under the government of San La Muerte town. The community will be established as an incorporated municipality as a township.

It will be administered by the provincial Reich and treated as as a subject of the province with limited powers in municipal-level government. In some cases, the provincial reich may proceed to hand the administration of the unincorporated municipality to the mayor of the capital city, if the mayor is not established as the provincial Reich. However, this does not mean the unincorporated municipality is a subject or an exclave of the provincial capital. In other words, the unincorporated municipality shall not be listed as part of the capital city, despite not possessing its own government. It will be legally referred to as an unincorporated municipality.

## **Provinces and Regions**

The Kingdom is divided into six provinces: Utarri, Malagasy, Ilyad, Asarr, Nautica, and Tung Xao. Each province is further divided into cities, towns, and other municipalities. Furthermore, the Huáng Dò Autonomous Region was formed after the fall of the Frahann Republic and is under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom as a self-governing region. The Óskpul Territory was ceded to Frahanlandie as a peace offering from the Oshkan Republic. Today, it is known as an unorganised territory and holds a *de facto* capital in Pulka.

## **Demographics**

The Kingdom of Frahanlandie is known for being incredibly diverse. The Constitution fully recognises 24 ethnic groups. 73% of the population is ethnically Frahann, who have settled since the Sutya Dynasty. The Eastern Manigan peoples make up approximately 7% of the population. They were believed to have originated in Janipur and moved into Asarr province. The Huáng Xuà peoples have settled since before the Sutya Dynasty and currently make up approximately 6% of the oppulation. Various other ethnic groups were found in the Tuñalon Region.

In the southern portion of Tung Xao (S.T.X: Túñ Xãu), the Monnuiti Tribe was known as one of the most powerful nations in the area. Today, they make up approximately 12% of the population of Tung Xao Province. Most of the popuation is located within the Alennuit City metropolitan region, where Alennuit is the provincial capital.

Most of the inhabitants reside in cities or towns. The most densely populated region is the Bosse-Neuv Metropolitan Region, which consists of the cities of Bosse-Neuv, Czrechnya, Bojpuri, and Bayouville. In total, the region makes up a total of over 15 million residents.

## **Culture**

### **Language**

In Frahanlandie, a majority of the inhabitants speak Frahann, which is the national language. Frahann had become one of the most widely spoken languages since the Sutya Dynasty, and had increased in popularity after the fall of the Oshkan Union. However, due to increased tourism and business investments, English has grown to become one of the most popular foreign languages. While English typically tends to be more popular in the North, Exprala is more widely spoken in the South, where a majority of the inhabitants speak the Spanish creole (especially in Asarr province). Most schools teach either English or Exprala as a second language.

There are a total of 22 federally recognised languages by the government that are approved for use in government. English, Frahann, and Exprala tend to be the most favoured and is the language most often used in Parliament. In recent years, many debates have risen over the introduction of Huang Xuahanese as a language approved for use in high government. However, they have failed and is currently only used by the government in Huang Do and Tung Xao.

### **Religion**

A majority of the inhabitants identify themselves as athiest (64%), while 22% follow regional folk religion. For example, Tung Xao culture revolves around the idea of Gazar Magadaham, the holy lord who watches over the people. In recent years, the increasing popularity in Spirituism has led to 6% of the population following Christianity, a third of which identify as Catholic. This can be stemmed from historic eras with the Tolempolk peoples who had split into the Catholic Tolempolks and the Islamic Tolempolks. The remaining 8% identify as Buddhist, Muslim, or other.
