The Federal Republic of Gala

Flag of Gala

The **Federal Republic of Gala** is a republic in northern Itheel with the city of Sagev as its capital.

The unification of Gala was a major event in global politics, and for a small time, Gala was the only thing in the news. The region is known to be the source of many criminal empires and drug rings, so when Gala united people assumed that the leader of it was a criminal, after many very thorough background checks, the world found him to be one of the few good things to come from this region.

## Etymology

Gala was officially named after the ancient tribes who inhabited the land, the Gaila Tribal Groups; however, they no longer remain, and now many people perceive the name as cultural appropriation of a dead culture.

## Current Leadership

The Galyan government currently consists of three bodies: the head of state, the national assembly, and the department of finance. The three bodies collaborate to build a functioning state, which is a major global economic superpower. The Galyan economy is the top priority on most of its leaders' agendas, and it receives priority treatment over issues such as the crime rate and social issues.

The nation has maintained the same leader since its inception in 7 B.H.E., and he has stated previously that he will not relinquish power until he is confident that his nation is secure, and as part of his will, he will open the nation to elections. This statement has obviously alarmed many citizens, who do not want to return to a monarchy, but the majority of people prefer the idea of either becoming an aristocracy or reverting to the partitioned governments that once existed in Gala's place.

### The Head of State

The Head of State position has been held by President Orris Joutil for the 36 years that Gala has been a nation. This position is an elective office held by one native citizen of Gala. They have the authority to enact legislation or to reject it.

### The National Assembly

The Galyan National Assembly, which is made up of 50 delegates, is in charge of proposing, drafting, and enforcing laws, but it is up to the Head of State to decide whether or not they are incorporated. The Assembly can also declare war without the president's signature.

### The Department of Finance

The Galyan Department of Finance has complete control over the nation's funding, right down to the last portion of copper. They run all of the casino sites in the country and are in charge of making economic decisions and financing for government services.

## History

Gala has a brief history, having only existed for 36 years and not being a successor state to any former nation.

### Founding

The establishment of Gala was a world-changing event. Many of the region's nation states experienced mass revolutions at the same time, and militia forces banded together to depose the other governments. They were known as the Galyans, and they had been brought together by a Dragonborn named Orris Joutil.

### Invention of Casinos

Gala is home to many casinos, and you can find at least one in every major city. Casin Lipiol was behind their creation. The system is set up so that the people's money goes to straight to the government, and millions of silver pieces are wasted every year in gambling halls. Almost every aspect of life in Gala is determined by the outcomes of gambling games, as they are the primary source of revenue for the country.
