History
The Republic of Valkerion was created by Harlan Guh with the help of his friend, Spencer Zhang, in September of 2023. After a few months, a few new citizens joined. The constitution was first started right after the nation's formation, however, it was only officially finished and signed on December 31st, 2023. The population since then has gradually risen.
Harlan Guh and Spencer Zhang 2024-2025 Administration
As the result of the Valkerian 2024 Presidential Election, Harlan Guh and Spencer Zhang have taken the seats as President and Vice President. During Harlan's presidency, he has passed the Ministries act, which founded many important ministries for the Head of State Branch. Harlan Guh has also passed other more minor laws. During this time, the Province of Sealis and Zhangshen Province was created, followed later by the Province of Aetus and the Territory of Terrenis on 26 March 2024. Kymopoletian Province, Province of Solis, and the New Babylon Autonomous Laissez-faire Economic Zone were established on 3/29/2024.
On 4/4/2024, an unhappy citizen posted a petition for a reelection of the Valkerion Head of State Branch. This would become known as the 2024 Hunter Revote Referendum. The proposition was rejected by the citizens via a narrow percentage, and the Harlan Guh 2024-2025 Administration was able to keep its place.
On April 14th, the 1st Valkerian Citizen Council was formed. The day after, the administration would pass a treaty recognizing the Republic of Grovia and the Republic of Fish. Then on April 18th, the Nassau County Co-Prosperity Sphere was formed between the three nations, aiming to provide peace to Nassau County.
Excelsior Civil War
The Republic of Valkerion seeks to support the Excelsior Breakaway State in its fight against the Excelsior Government. This is because the Breakaway State has recently joined the Nassau County Co-Prosperity Sphere.
Politics and government
Despite having "Republic" in its name, and "Direct Democracy" in the constitution, the Republic of Valkerion seems to be a different form of democracy altogether.
Head of State
The Head of State consists of the role of President, Vice President, and all of the ministries. They are voted for by citizens. If one person runs and wins, they can fill up every role in the Head of State. The Head of State can make laws without voting, however (although would make more sense here)they can be impeached by the citizens.
The Head of State also consists of the Citizen Council, a group of 3-5 elected Citizens, who advise the president on important issues, during sessions.(none of which have ever happened yet)
Here is a list of all ministries and government organizations that are in the Head of State branch:
Valkerian Treasury
The Valkerian Treasury is responsible for the economy and money of the ROV.
- Bank of Valkerion: Is responsible for money distribution. However, it is still in its infancy.
Ministry of Defense (MoD)
The Ministry of Defense is in charge of protecting the nation and keeping order.
- Valkerian Militia Corps: Basically the military of the nation. However, with compliance with the constitution, it is only active in wartime.
