Chubby Baaiburg

**Chubby Baaiburg** was the first independent nation to be created. They basically rule The Kaasrijk and almost all inhabitants are, or aspire to be citizens of this grand nation.

## History

### Founding

Once upon a glorious day, the 29th of september 2021, Het Comité, consisting of Jan Adams, Bunny Gruppy and Thomas Gingerson, founded the country named **Chubby Baaiburg**. It is said that they discussed for no less than 4 days and 4 nights at the Constitutional meeting with the result of the creation of the first draft of The Constitution of Chubby Baaiburg. Seated at the Tricathedra, located in the Old Lands, they came up with a new, revolutionary form of government known as a "Comicracy", a democratic system with Het Comité at it's centre to ensure a safe, righteous and prospering nation. The constitution would prove to lead the newly founded nation to glory. Mauro didn't exactly contribute to founding Chubby Baaiburg, but was immediatly enlisted as a citizen. Mauro missed out on co-writing the constitution due to a doctor's visit and was upset with his lack of power at first. To ensure Mauro that he would have power and that The Comité wasn't autocratic, he was informally granted the rank of Minister of Migration. Willy, who was also present at that time, stayed independent.

### Finding the Promised Land

While actually founded in the Old Lands, the citizens realised that this place wasn't fit for their grand nation. There was more land in The Kaasrijk, so they planned a quest to find their promised land. After a tragic stumble in a ravine from Mauro, which dimished their futile supplies even further (they lost all their diamonds among many other things), Jan, Thomas and Mauro set sail to their promised land, under the command of the Minister of Migration Mauro, on the 30th of september. After a long and hard journey, Gingerson spotted a glorious mountain, later attributed to Jan as his province Chubby Mountains. It was at that moment that the whole group knew this would be the land where they could build their nation.

### Landing ashore

Nearing the south shore, the men spotted a few aggresive locals. Minister of Migration Mauro would get the honour of setting the first step ashore. But when his boat touched undeep waters, when the wet sand could be felt underneath his feet a local suicide bomber saw Mauro for an enemy. Without warning, the local exploded in close proximity to Mauro and created a crater, now known as Mauro's Krater. (This crater with the original boat can still be visited to this day.) Mauro was wounded but soon regained his strength and, with Jan and Thomas now also on land joining him, rid the shore of the uncivilized locals. A sad action that had to be taken to provide safety in Chubby Baaiburg. The conflict with the locals dragged on for a long time. The locals terrorizing the citizens of Chubby Baaiburg wherever there were shadows to hide in and the citizens having to protect their peaceful land for years.

## Government

### Comicracy

The core political system by which Chubby Baaiburg is ruled is a "**Comicracy**". In a Comicracy there is a **Comité** which has an absolute and final say in every political decision the nation makes. Often there are also other political organs put in place to make most of the decisions. The Comité then has a more regulatory purpose and is tasked with making sure the country is always on the right path without being very actively involved. An important note is that The Comité (even in systems with other political organs) always has the absolute power to revert any decision made.

The specific version of Comicracy The Comité has chosen is a **Federal Comicracy**. This means that there is a central government in the Capitol District, The Federal Government of Chubby Baaiburg, that has jurisdiction over the whole of Chubby Baaiburg alongside smaller subdivisions called Provinces that have some autonomy in ruling themselves (Chubby Baaiburg later also installed "Territories" like Bepaald and Onbepaald who also have some autonomy).

#### The Federal Government of Chubby Baaiburg

The federal government follows the seperation of the powers:

The **executive branch** is represented by the "**Congres**", seated in "De Kamer". This branch is represented within the following structure: At the head is a president who is directly elected by the people. He assembles his cabinet and appoints a vice-president who is second in command. The cabinet should consist of multiple ministers who will take responsibilty for their own domains.

The **legislative branch** is represented by the "**Senaat**", seated in the "Curia". The senate is elected by Congres and is tasked with the formation and changing of the laws of Chubby Baaiburg.

The **judiciary branch** is represented by the "**Sigmamalishof**", seated in the "Hooggerechtsgebouw". Judges can be elected by the President or the minister of justice and are tasked with the conviction of those who have broken the laws.
