Baltia (Season III)

## Territory

Map of Baltia

Baltia, or formally known as United Baltic Confederation of Baltia was a nation that was centered around Baltic region, and contained one distant region of Frisia.

## Description

United Baltic Confederation of Baltia was a medium to large sized nation which has peaked at 33 civilians near the end of its existence. The city of Riga was a major city that peaked at 23 civilians before it was removed by an admin (It was re-founded, however it fell again, due to inactivity). Other cities of interest are Vilnius, Leeuwarden and Saint Petersburg, which were not very large, however, they played a large role in helping make Baltia have its place in the world.

Baltia was a morderately productive nation, which took its time when building up. It started off small and humble, but it had experienced an era of great prosperity after a few weeks of being founded. The nation had lots of potential to become a regional power to reckon with, however, due to a series of unfortunate events, Baltia has seen many of their best people leave for good, and at a certain point the nation has decided to have a mass exodus as a result of mass migration to a new home. Almost all citizens of Baltia as of December of 2020 are gone for good, either from quitting minecraft (both permanent and temporary breaks) as well as others who simply migrated to another server.

As of today, Baltia is history, some say it's for the best, and others are rather saddened by the fact, however, it was a personal choice from Xesphor himself to dismantle the nation, after holding a vote whether people want to move to a different server.

## House of Representatives

### Representative Elections

Baltian House of Representatives was formed by Xesphor, in an effort to introduce democracy to the nation. Baltia has only held one election, although it was planned to be monthly, the nation was not in the shape to hold elections due to internal and external issues.

During the vote for representatives, all citizens were given one vote, which could be changed if they changed their mind. The polling lasted over 24 hours and in order to become a representative, the candidate must have at least 50% voting yes. As shown in the image, four out of six people were elected representative, Dan, Alexum, Sokkol and Bapo.

Political parties were planned to become a reality on elections that were meant to follow after, however, even though political parties were formed, due to the fact that no more elections were held, political parties have not been used.

.

### Head Representative Elections

After the vote is ended for Representatives, the leader of the nation picks two candidates who he sees will be most fit to be the Head Representative. A Head Representative plays the role as co-leader of Baltia.

The two candidates were Alexum and Sokkol, of which Alexum narrowly edged out Sokkol by 1 vote. As it shows in the map below, each territory represents one voter, to show who the cities voted for.

## Military

Baltia has not officially organised a military during the time it was active, as it was founded to be a nation of builders, not fighters. There were plans made to form Royal Guard of Baltia, which has never become reality.

## Baltia Metro

One of Baltian achievements was the Baltian Metro, which helped connect Riga to Northern Baltia, Finland, Frisia, London and Rigan Island Territory of Gotland.

The metro line was used by the citizens of Baltia, as well as our neighbours who were connected to it. There were plans to make a southern metro line to connect Prussia, Lithuania, Lechograd and Poland to Riga, however it never became reality.
