The '''Order of the Steel Ring''' ([[Sabian language|Sabian]]: ''Ordêra Torgasanê Dishokas''), officially the '''Eastern and Lycene Order of the Night King's Steel Ring''' was an award given by the [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona]] to both national and intermicronational individuals. It was originally founded as the ''Nāgon nae Dhyśon Torghaśıj'' by the King of [[Lycem]] [[Tarik Kârjasary]] in 2013 with the Edict of the Steel Ring, and it was dissolved in 2017. <br />
<br />
It was a classless civilian order; all members were known as "Brothers and Sisters" of the Order. The head of the Order was the [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|King of the Valtirians]], the last of which [[Tarik of Sabia and Verona|Tarik of Kârjasary]].<br />
<br />
==History and Legend==<br />
The Order was founded on 26 August 2013 by [[Tarek Kârjasary]] as King of Lycem, seeing the nation lacked any honours to bestow on its nationals and allied foreigners. The Order takes its name from a ring of steel (currently a part of the [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona#Regalia|Sabioveronese Regalia]]), intending to resemble the ''Torghaxij'' (ring) of Mireon. <br />
<br />
According to the legend, Mireon was a ''[[Lycene mythology#Vaaxeelionar|setraacsionar]]'' prince, a human carrying blood of free spirits. He belonged to the Merighaniin Seenionar, a large setraacsionar blood clan inhabiting the forests around the Annasiiqoxervi'iin Daeoorghon. Mireon desired to be the greatest hunter of his clan, and take down the night-dwelling Groojiinumogheesinae, the black jaguar of the Groojii tree. The prince went to the top of the Annasiiqoxervii in the night of the full moon, when the King of the Night was the happiest, and asked him for a help to hunt down the gheesinae. The King of the Night agreed to help him by giving him a ring made of steel and mercury, infused with the magic of the night sky's stars. The ring gave Mireon the ability to see through the forest in the night as if the sun was atop the skies in place of the moon, and he was able to find the ghesinae hidden among the trees and foliage. <br />
<br />
A fateful arrow straight to the heart took down the gheesinae, and a satisfied Myreon took the dead animal back to the clan's camp to show it to his fellow clansmen, but in the way his vision started to blur and he couldn't see anything but white. His fingertips started to burn and his hair turned to ash, and his eyes melted and became dew on the grass. His body burned with the intensity of a thousand suns, and then there was nothing left of him but his heart, trapped inside the gheesinae's body, beating the animal's blood. Myreon was cursed to dwell the forests in the body of the gheesinae for all of eternity until the Eye of [[Darmo|Daemon]] darkens and the prophecy of the ''Iixataari'' comes true. <br />
<br />
Mireon's story is an example of why the King of the Night is distrusted, and those who plead to the full moon are bound to be cursed, as the motto of the Order warns: ''Miar lesir acu Ataaxi eteceesar icuoo umoq eluusar''; those who plead to the Moon forever will be stained. This is also an example of the sun-centric tendencies of [[Lycene mythology]].<br />
<br />
The modern version of the ring as it is used by Sabioveronese monarchs is never worn on the fingers because of this, but instead it is worn around the neck with a chain. <br />
<br />
In 2016 a royal decree issued by King Tarik demoted the Order a level in the Kingdom's hierarchy of chivalry orders, below the [[Order of the Needle]]. In 2017, a royal decree disestablished the Order due to inactivity.<br />

<br />
The '''Imperial Order of the Baphomet''' (in [[Sabian language|Sabian]]: ''airraidaibók babametoná''; initials '''IOB''') is [[Sabia and Verona]]'s highest civilian [[w:Order (decoration)|order of honor]]. Named after the [[w:Baphomet|Baphomet]], it was first established by [[Tarik of Sabia and Verona|Tarik Kârjasary]] as Emperor of the [[Empire of Berin|Second Berinese Empire]]. After the fall of the Empire, it was forgotten for some time until the government of the [[Artaghe]] revived it, only to fall inactive once again with the disestablishment of Artaghe. It was revived a second time by the Sabioveronese government under [[Napoléon Bleuberrie]] in 2013. <br />
<br />
The Order has been awarded by six different heads of state belonging to different goverments, as a result of the instability of the [[Valtir Sector]]. The order may be conferred posthumously, though so far no cases of posthumous awards have been seen. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Order was created by an Imperial Decree of [[Tarik of Sabia and Verona|Tarik Kârjasary]] as Emperor of Berin on 20 April 2012. The Order became the largest institution of the Second Berinese Empire. The Berinese Monarchy was weak and the Empire soon fell apart. In sight of the friendship of the former Berinese Emperor and the then Crown Prince [[Jonathan I, Emperor of Austenasia|Jonathan of Austenasia]], what was the "Empire of the Great Berin" became [[New Balland]], a subject to the Austenasian monarchy that was led by [[Declan I, II & V]] at the time. During this period of time and until the formation of the [[Artaghe|Union of Artaghe]], the Order remained inactive. In Artaghe, the President of the Union leads the Order. First [[Runa-Lisandra Bartolucci]] focused in Artaghean nationals and when [[Aina Oehler]] assumed office, the award became a diplomatic convenience. Artaghe's internal affairs were however uncapable of maintaining stability, and the office of the President was replaced with the "Union Presidency". The Union Presidency was composed of three members. Only one Union Presidency ever served; it was composed of [[Liam Barnard]], Oehler and Kârjasary, the once Berinese Emperor and former representative of New Balland. Finally, the Union of Artaghe was disestablished and Kârjasary takes control of the region again. The Order falls into inactivity for the second time and remains this way until the formation of [[Sabia and Verona]] within the [[Kingdom of Juclandia]]. This time, the Order is revived by [[Napoléon Bleuberrie]], who sought an award for his fellow members of the [[Socialist Party (Sabia and Verona)|Socialist Party]]. In Sabia and Verona, the Order is subject to strict laws regarding awards and decorations, and achieves a relative stability for the first time in its history. During Sabioveronese Prime Minister [[Ann Stefanović]]'s administration, the Order passed to be responsibility of the Governor of Sabia and Verona. In 2014, the Order's head became the [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|Monarch of the Valtirians]].<br />
<br />
==Ranks==<br />
There are only three ranks of the order. They have remained the same since the Order's establishment in the Second Berinese Empire.<br />
<br />
*Grand Knight of the Order: The highest within the Order. Former Maestres of the Order are given the title of Grand Knight. The title of "Knight" is granted to both men and women equally.<br />
*Commander of the Order: Middle within the Order. Originally intended to be given mostly to foreigners.<br />
*Officer of the Order: Lowest rank of the Order.<br />
<br />
The ranks have no real insignia, between themselves nor as for the Order itself. In case of being necessary, a tricolour ribbon (with the old Artaghean national colours, blue, red and white; or black and yellow) with the Baphomet Seal in the centre shall be used. <br />
<br />
==Insignia==<br />
[[File:Greater arms of Tarik Karjasari.png|thumb|right|200px|Imperial Seal on the royal arms of the [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|King of the Valtirians]].]]<br />
The Order is represented by the [[Imperial Seal of Berin|Imperial Seal of the Baphomet]], which was Coat of Arms of the Monarchy of the Second Berinese Empire. Although the Berinese Empire fell apart and the monarchy was disestablished, the seal remained the emblem of the Order. The colour of the Order is [[w:Crimson|Crimson red]], but it may also use yellow, white and black as secondary colours. Ribbons of the order have been black; blue, red and white; and currently only red, as it was first intended.<br />

==Maestre==<br />
The '''Maestre of the Order''' ([[Sabian language|Sabian]]: ''aiakrí airraidaibokinnán babametoná'') is the head of the Order, in charge of bestowing the honour to whoever they deem worthy. Throughout its history the Order has been awarded by several different heads of state, ever since the creation of the Order in the Berinese Empire to its modern times in Sabia and Verona. The Maester is formally referred to as "Lord / Lady Maestre of the Imperial Order", although in practice only "Maestre" is used. This is reflected by the King's official full title, "...''Maestre of the Order of the Baphomet''...". <br />

:''In this traditional Sabian name, ''Kodavái-Rosavái'' is the matronymic and ''Bartoluxi Karjasari'' is the family name.''<br />
'''Runa-Lisandra Bartolucci Kârjasary, Countess of Sainte-Bérénice''' <small>[[Order of the Baphomet|IOB]] [[Order of the Needle|SOF]]</small> (''runa maría lisandra kodavái-rosavái bartolutxi karjasari'', 24 July 2006 – 3 September 2019) was a [[Sabia and Verona|Sabioveronese]] companion, former politician and President of the defunct [[Union of Artaghe]], who held many micronational titles and offices in the [[Valtir Sector]] from the creation of the [[Holy Dussesh Empire]]. She was a prominent member of the [[House of Kârjasary]], which has formerly held various royal titles in the Valtir.<br />
<br />
Bartolucci was commonly known for having served as President of the now-defunct [[Union of Artaghe]] for a one-month term in June 2012. She served as the Union's first President and was succeeded by [[Aina Oehler]]. In her latter days, she was widely regarded a hero of micronationalism in Sabia and Verona and a national symbol of the Valtir Sector.<br />
<br />
==Early and personal life==<br />
Runa was born on 24 July, 2006, in a small farm in Vía Jají, [[w:Campo Elías Municipality|Campo Elías]], in [[w:Venezuela|Western Venezuela]]. She was adopted by the [[House of Kârjasary|Kârjasary family]] shortly after her birth, and given as a birthday present to [[Tarik Kârjasary]]. She briefly had a relationship in 2010, which lasted until 2011. By the time of her death, she resided in [[Salisse]], in [[Sabia]], but was affiliated to the [[Vaaitos|Vaaitos Prefecture]] as a citizen of the Town of Ejariveen.<br />
<br />
Bartolucci died on 3 September 2013 of natural causes by old age, in the Sabioveronese town of Bal. She was 13 years old. Her body was interred in [[Elinore]].<br />
<br />
==Micronationalism==<br />
She was named heir of the [[Holy Dussesh Empire]], bearing the title of ''Magravine'' in April 2011. With the creation of the [[Montblanc|Kingdom of Montblanc and San Joan]], she received the title Princess of Manú, and remained heir to the Montblancqi throne until the dissolution of the Kingdom. She was again heir-apparent of the [[Berinese Confederation]] as ''protégée'' of the Berinese Emperor, [[Tarik Kârjasary]].<br />
<br />
She was elected President of the short-lived Union of Artaghe on 1 June 2012 following an emergency election of the Artaghean Parliament. Her term was categorized as "undemocratic" and extremely inactive, and it was criticized by many due to the fact the Union had a dog for president. She left office after a month on 1 July 2012, having [[Aina Oehler]] as successor.<br />
<br />
In July 2012, it was announced that she would be featured in the second series of the Artaghean lýrur baknotes, in the 60 lýrir bill, the highest denomination. She has been compared to the former St.Charlian President Whisky I. <br />
<br />
After a long period of inactivity, she returned to micronational scene as appointed ''saeroben'' ([[Lycene language|Proto-Sabiolycene]] for "companion") of the King of Lycem in the Royal Court. Her position as ''saeroben'' lasted for one year until the Lycene Monarchy was disestablished and Lycem became part of [[Sabia and Verona]]. In Sabia and Verona, she was regarded as a hero of micronationalism, and was awarded several honours. She was generally considered a member of the former Lycene royal family. From September 2014 she counted with citizenship of Sabia and Verona, affiliated with the Town of Ejariveen in [[Vaaitos]], [[Lycem]].<br />
<br />
==Legacy==<br />
The Countess of Sainte-Bérénice is generally held as a national symbol of Sabia and Verona. Her interventions in micronational politics, her proximity to the Royal Household and her general status as a nonpartisan cultural icon have made her an icon of Valtirian culture. The [[Doga Runann|Dependency of Doga Runann]] (lit. "Land of Runa", in [[Sabian language|Sabian]]), a nature reserve made up of land claimed by the Sabioveronese state in 2018, bears her name. Her successor as chief companion of the Royal Household, [[Harái Runa Kârjasary|Harái Runa Kodavái]], was also named after her.<br />
<br />
==Titles and honors==<br />
She counted with the styles:<br />
*''Her Imperial Highness'', Margravine of the Holy Dussesh Empire - April 2011 - May 2011<br />
*''Her Royal Highness'', Princess of Manú - May 2011 - June 2011<br />

Not a lot of info, no pictures other than flags, and the lack of references.<br />
*'''SUPPORT''' For good articles you do not only look for articles that meet the expected criteria for an article of its category—i.e. the necessary images, expansive and well-written information, citations—a good article should encompass above average material which defies expectations; while information/length is not an issue for this article, as neither is references, and it is of historical importance, there is nothing exceptionally amazing about the article. In fact, it would be improved with at least one physical image, and the text could nevertheless be expanded a bit and do with some refreshing for grammar and spelling, such as the unnecessary bold text for its flags.

*'''SUPPORT''' I believe that I was initially going to oppose this, but I decided to support this call because even though I think it could be updated, Good Articles are meant to stay as.. good articles. Unfortunately, this one isn't right now. ([[User:ReesesPuffs, Puffs I]])<br />
<br />
*'''COMMENT''' I the believe that this article must have been worthy of being a good article by the time it was created, and its historic relevance, when it comes to good articles, should be preserved. But I understand that for today's standarts the article isn't by far a "good article", it is too short and simple, although well done. I'm just not fond of the ideia of witch-hunting older good articles which, for today's standarts, aren't that good, otherwise we might start something that could end in chopping the list of good articles by the middle, hypoteticaly speaking.

I believe the article fulfills all the required criteira. It is well-written (specialy if one takes into account that the micronation isn't natively English-speaker), it speaks coherently and reasonably in all of the micronation's facts and matters without going into unnecessarily detailed mega-texts, it provides a fair amount of sources, quality images providing detailed descriptions with no false/simulationist claims, it does not magnifies the micronation, it is honest on its position, and its structure follows the Wikipedia countries' articles' pattern. [[User:Grand Duke Arthur|Arthur Brum]] ([[User talk:Grand Duke Arthur|talk]]) 19:59, 1 January 2021 (UTC)<br />
*'''SUPPORT''' Ebenthal's article is one of the most elaborate on entire MicroWiki, especially considering that it's from a relatively recent micronation. Without wishing to dwell on Ebenthal's regional importance as a micronation of preponderance, the work done to create a first-rate article has been achieved a long time ago, surpassing several articles accepted as good and which, due to elegance, should not be mentioned. However, once the quality threshold has been established, it's undisputed that this article far exceeds expectations and that failure to recognize its quality is more a political or xenophobic statement than a sincere opposition for some failure in it. This article has already been submitted for consideration and has been rejected; fair or not, the author dedicated himself to perfecting the article and now, there is little to criticize negatively, being more than apt to receive qualification, but being truly worthy of being placed in a differentiated rank, being an example for articles to be written in the future.

*'''SUPPORT''' Yes! I think this article is honestly amazing and provides a lot of information useful to any micronationalist. It's fairly a "new" micronation but it's got a good-looking article and I believe it's worthy of GA status. Not to go off topic, but I was really disappointed to see it get revoked the first time, especially when someone used "MW@D Discrimination" and claimed it to be biased, when it is just in the Elarian culture that unfortunately it is believed they are discriminated against. And that person who said it was biased... was a moderator! Really? Proving the point of that sentence right there. But now that I'm done with my little rant, I really do think that this article is worthy of the GA status especially with more informational changes with the map and such on the infobox.

*'''OPPOSE''' Sections are rather stubby and some parts are worded rather badly. The Civil War section embodies these problems whilst also making absolutely no sense to the reader without context. Some dates utilise an incorrect date format and the article seems rather biased (and again make no sense) in sections . There are also a few spelling and grammar mistakes sprinkled throughout the article whilst some parts are written in both past and present tense AND first and third person. Some sections go into far too much detail and are quite messy such as the foreign affairs section - instead of having a defined section for recognition, organisations, foreign relations, ect. these groups are needlessly clumped together.<small><span style="white-space:nowrap;border:#000000 solid 2px;background:#d7cdfe;border-radius:6px;color:#000000">[[File:Empire of Aenopia flag.png|25px|link=Empire of Aenopia]]<span style="white-space:nowrap;border:#000000 solid 2px;background:#000000;border-radius:8px;color:#0000ff"><span style="background:#d2fac0;border:#000000 solid 2px;border-left:0px;border-right:0px;border-radius:8px;">&nbsp;[[User:Aenopia|<span style="color:#000000;">'''Logan (Aenopia)'''</span>]]&nbsp;</span></span><span style="font-family:comicsans;">&nbsp;[[User talk:Aenopia|<span style="color:#000000;">Terry Tibbs talk to me</span>]]&nbsp;<span style="color:#000000;">•</span>&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/Aenopia|<span style="color:#000000;">Look at what I've done.</span>]]&nbsp;</span>[[File:Empire of Aenopia flag.png|25px|link=Empire of Aenopia]]</span></small> 22:27, 3 January 2021 (UTC)<br />
*'''WEAK OPPOSE''' Article is stubby in certain sections like Ela'r'oech after Charles and MW manual of style is not followed so it is a no from me. it doesn't even have a government section like a MW about a nation should.[[User:Isaiah Burdette|<span style="color:red; text-shadow:blue 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em;"> Isaiah </span>]][[User talk:Isaiah Burdette|<span style="color:purple; text-shadow:blue 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em;">''(Chat)''</span>]]<br />
*'''COMMENT''' May I be informed as to which sections you believe are stubby? As said If you oppose giving Ela'r'oech the GA status please inform me of what I can do to amend this especially regarding bias. I am currently editing the article still as I was during the last time the article was submitted to hopefully amend anything I notice myself and add details.([[User:Ela'r'oech_Charles|Ela'r'oech Charles]])<br />
*'''COMMENT''' Thanks for the info. Will update to amend. Please check it afterwards and perhaps consider changing your position.([[User:Ela'r'oech_Charles|Ela'r'oech Charles]])<br />
*'''OPPOSE''' Much improved since last nomination, good prose, well-written in most parts and perfect images, though some sections are rather confusing, such as "It was founded accidentally by Charles Madgett in 2018, then in 2019 he made another nation which went defunct for a while until 2020, when on 15 August, it was purposefully established", which should explain more on how it was accidentally and later purposefully founded. Some subsections of its history are short, and I would remove the ones under "Pre-Ela'r'oech" - I would also move Locations and Climate into its own section titled "Geography". I agree with [[User:Aenopia|Logan (Aenopia)]] on the foreign affairs section. Furthermore, all date formats should be dd/mm/yyyy, so not September 16, 2020 or 16th of September 2020, but rather "16 September 2020". Also contains mild spelling mistakes or sentences that can be better worded.

*'''COMMENT''' I am confused though as to why there are any people necessarily opposing the GA Status of this article for the reason of Charles is listening to them and this article is continuously updated. I feel like a good amount of reasoning for these "oppose" views have been amended. (1/2) ([[User:Anthony Ramirez 3rd]])<br />
*'''COMMENT''' (2/2) Charles has been waiting and patiently amending this all listening to the opposition, which is one thing I really respect and I have seen votes change before so I stand with him with reminding you and advising you to change your vote. Do not look at Ela'r'oech's article once. Look at it every day or a few times a day. There's many changes to it constantly. I see it as ; you're never voting for the exact same article in this nomination. Please listen to Charles when he advises you to change your vote. Please look at this article constantly, study it's changes. ([[User:Anthony Ramirez 3rd]])<br />
*'''SUPPORT''' I always liked [[Charles Madgett|Charles]], however it won't give me any bias when saying this article genuinely blew me away first reading it. Looking at the "OPPOSE" section it would say that there are incorrect date formats (there are none), stubby sections (there are none, maybe one or two I didn't catch), and bad grammar (which I'm admittedly not too good at so I wouldn't know), but at face value without nitpicking I really liked the article. But I'll also admit GA status is for those nitpicked articles that are still good. Could use some more work but I'm gonna support this one, since I really agree with [[User:Anthony Ramirez 3rd|Anthony]], but I also agree somewhat with [[User:Aenopia|Logan (Aenopia)]] on the Civil War section. I'm sure it was worse before anything was said about it, but maybe that section could be removed or just expanded upon. I also don't think it fits in History/Ela'r'oech Era. Maybe Domestic Forces/Civil War would have been a better area for it. ([[User:ReesesPuffs, Puffs I|Puffs I]])<br />

{{Abelden infobox}}<br />
'''Abelden''', officially the '''Abeldane Empire and the Commonwealth'''<ref>'''German''': ''Abeldänisches Kaiserreich und dessen Commonwealth''. The full name is used rarely, only applied on special documents. The prefix ''The'' is a part of the full name in English.</ref> or more commonly the '''Abeldane Empire''' ([[w:German|German]]: ''Abeldänisches Kaiserreich ''), is a self-declared independent nation-state (more commonly referred to as a [[micronation]] by outsiders) with claims in North America, Asia, Europe, Africa, Oceania and Antarctica. The Empire‘s capital is the city of [[Kaiserstadt]], a federal territory separate from the imperial states.<br />
<br />
The Empire was originally founded as a unitary state, as successor state of the [[Militarmia|Empire of Militarmia]]. It’s current federal model was introduced in 2016 following a referendum on the transformation to a federation. The Abeldane federal states have previously been members of the [[Abeldane Commonwealth]] before their accession as states following federalization in 2016. The government is mostly based on the former [[w:German Empire|German Empire]], and the Empire maintains democratic values and basic micronational ideas to be integrated everywhere. Cultural diversity has a prominent place in the history of Abelden. People from Abelden are known as Abeldanes.<br />
<br />
Abelden operates under a system of [[w:federal monarchy|federal]] [[w:hereditary monarchy|hereditary]] [[w:constitutional monarchy|constitutional monarchy]] with a [[w:parliamentary system|parliamentary democracy]]. The Empire consists of six federal states. Each federal state is headed by its own monarch and may also include a head of government. The federal head of state is the [[Abeldane Monarchy|Abeldane Emperor]] (female form Empress), who is always simultaneously one of the state monarchs, and is formally vested with extensive executive power, though this is traditionally exercised by the elected government headed by the [[Vorsitzender]]. Abelden has a [[w:Bicameralism|bicameral]] federal [[w:legislature|legislature]] named the [[Reichsversammlung]] which holds legislative power. It is divided into two houses; the state-appointed [[Bundesrat]] and the popularly elected [[Volkstag]]. The current reigning Emperor, since his accession in May 2020 is [[Nick Kaos|Nicholas I & II]] of the Imperial House of Kaos, with [[Patrick Renwick]] serving as [[Vorsitzender]] from the [[National Royalists]].<ref>Karjasari, Tarik. [https://lsydunche.wordpress.com/2020/07/10/reichsversammlung-dissolved-and-executive-elections-postponed-as-renwick-is-restored-to-vorsitzendership/ "Reichsversammlung dissolved and executive elections postponed as Renwick is restored to Vorsitzendership"] ''[[L'Sydunche]]''. 10 July 2020. Retrieved 12 July 2020.</ref><br />
<br />
Abelden is a "Fifth World" micronation, scoring 11/12 on [[Classification of micronations#The Boodlesmythe-Tallini System of Classification|Boodlesmythe-Tallini System]] and scoring 4.4 out of a 5 on [[Classification of micronations#David's Micronational Potential Index|David's Micronational Potential Index]] and 5.3 out of a 6 on [[Classification of micronations#Freayth's System of Classification|Freayth's System of Classification]].<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name came from a list of names that supposedly rhymed with [[Alenshka]], a nation that is now a state within Abelden and considered as one of its predecessors. Alenshka originated from the Russian name of ''Alexei'', which came from [[w:Alexei Nikolaevich, Tsarevich of Russia|Tsarevich Alexei of Russia]], the only son of the executed Romanov family.<br />
<br />
The official name of Abelden is '''The Abeldane Empire and the Commonwealth''', with the shorter version of the official name, '''The Abeldane Empire''', being more commonly used on government documents. The longer version is used more formally on treaties and official agreements with other micronations and organisations. The government advocates the usage of the shorter name due to the confusion between the demonym, ''Abeldane'', and the shorter name, ''Abelden''. The term '''The Empire''' is also often used to refer to Abelden, especially internally.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
:''Main article: [[History of Abelden]]''<br />
<br />
===Background===<br />
In August 2012, [[Stephen Freayth]] established [[Militarmia]], originally a Grand Republic then an empire afterwards, with [[Rachel Burklandssen|Kaushik Legata]] and [[Donald West]]. The foundation of Militarmia would eventually lead to several events that will form Abelden in the end. Militarmia was an absolute monarchy and originally was supposed to be a militaristic cultured nation, but soon changed into a more absolute and Westminster style of government and monarchy through the transition. <br />
<br />
On 18 August 2013, a year after the foundation of Militarmia, Emperor Stephen abdicated the throne in favour of Kaushik Legata, who took the regnal name of Ausolius. Subsequently, Freayth became the Prime Minister after becoming Emperor and would remain in the position until his own abdication after two months and Freayth would return to the throne and oversee the rest of the Empire. Militarmia briefly became a kingdom for a few days on December 2013 then reverted back to being an empire afterwards.<br />
<br />
While a relatively stable nation, Militarmia often rocked into instability particularly on threats of the King to abdicate and in 2014, there were more often changes to the premiership than in 2012 and 2013. Five prime ministers were appointed from the beginning of 2014 until its dissolution. During this period, Militarmia's activity had greatly increased and prominent members or citizens from the Sorrennian Federation started to become involved in the running of the government of Militarmia. Donald West was in particularly a member of the Sorrenian government and had very close ties with a number of Sorrenian politicians.<br />
<br />
As Emperor Stephen increasingly considered abdicating, the government was becoming a puppet of Sorrenia and therefore this worried the Emperor. Although not considering this, he then surprisingly decided to abdicate finally on April 2014 in favour of Trystan Cline, the Prime Minister, and left the Empire and had given up all administration rights of the Facebook group where business was conducted. Regretting this decision, after a few days abdicating from the throne, Stephen decided to ask Emperor Trystan for the throne once again and handover the rights of the administration back to him but did not result into anything and instead Miles of Sorrenia was given the administrative powers of the group and technically the rule over the government. <br />
<br />
After the decision by the Emperor, Stephen decided to take matter into his own hands and setup a group chat to resolve the matter, which did not result in anything. By this time, there was a turbulent crisis and Miles had decided to take over the government and change the Empire to a democratic republic, which Stephen did not approve.<br />
<br />
Afterwards, a compromise was reached with Miles and a new group was created by Stephen that united both Republicans and Monarchists factions. The new nation was to be a kingdom and the Monarch will have little to no power at all, essentially creating a constitutional monarchy, and the Prime Minister having all the power. Stephen became the King, with the former King Trystan the Prime Minister and Miles himself as Deputy Prime Minister. <br />
<br />
[[File:DecOfIndAbel.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The original document of the Establishment Document.]]<br />
Elections for Prime Minister were held afterwards, in which Miles was elected and Cline was appointed as Deputy Prime Minister. Angry with the result, Stephen refused the results of the election and abdicated afterwards on 15 April 2014. Militarmia was declared a Democratic Republic following his abdication. The idea for a new micronation had been set by Freayth following his abdication and he established Alenshka on the very same day as an Empire and became its Emperor with citizens mostly from Militarmia.<br />
<br />
===Foundation===<br />
Militarmia had lost most of its activity by June and the foundations for a replacement for Alenshka had begun. Freayth collaborated with Legata on the formation of a new Empire that will replace both Militarmia and Alenshka as his primary micronation. At 1 o'clock in the morning of 6 June 2014 (UTC +4), Freayth draw up in what is known as the Establishment Document, which formally established Abelden and became the Emperor of Abelden. Legata had already set up the new flag of the nation, which remains the flag of the Empire today. A day after the formation of Abelden, Stephen announced the merger of Militarmia and Alenshka under a new single Empire of Militarmia and established the second Militarmian Parliament with West being the Speaker. Those two acts would become the last known interaction in the group of Militarmia and would ''de facto'' seal the fate of Militarmia and bringing it to an end after more than 2 years in existence.<br />
<br />
After the foundation of Abelden, several or most of the former citizens of Militarmia joined Abelden and were the founding citizens of Abelden. Legamilitarmia, a condominium state between [[Legatia]] and Militarmia, was renamed to [[Legabelden]] following the establishment of Abelden. Alenshka entered into a personal union with Abelden from the beginning of Abelden's existence until late August 2014, when it was broken off and Alenshka became a nominal independent state. <br />
<br />
===Three reigns===<br />
[[File:Donald West.jpg|thumb|left|175px|[[Donald of Abelden]], who was [[Abeldane Monarchy|Emperor]] of Abelden from 16 December 2014 until 25 December 2014.]]<br />
In late summer of 2014, Stephen abdicated in favor of [[Rachel I of Abelden|Rachel]]. He abdicated in order 'to focus on his studies and spend more of his time on real life activities' and indicated that he wouldn't return to micronationalism unless it was important. Remaining as the founder of Abelden, Stephen retained powers to be used only during coups and wars as prescribed by the constitution and thus Rachel became Empress on 24 September 2014 after signing his abdication document.<ref>Freayth, Stephen.

<br />
There was much inactivity during Rachel's reign. From September till December, there was no activity other than people asking "why are there no activities or posts in the group?". Rachel abdicated in favor of [[Donald West|Donald]] on 16 December 2014 stating her reason for abdicating was that she needed to focus on her studies. Henceforth, Donald became Emperor on 16 December 2014 at 16:13 in the evening.<ref> Freayth,<br />

<br />
On 27 December 2014, the Kingdom of Darmania was abolished as the nation had descended into deep inactivity. All titles and all governmental positions were abolished with this effective act. <br />
<br />
Abelden held its first general elections from 8 January 2015 until 10 January 2015 with the voting held in the group lounge of Abelden.<ref>Freayth,<br />
Stephen. [http://abeldanetimes.weebly.com/news/general-elections-results "General Elections January 2015 results"] ''Abeldane Times''. Retrieved 28 January 2015.</ref> [[Andrew Janiszewski]] won the position as [[Prime Minister of Abelden|Prime Minister]], defeating HM King Michael I and [[Donald of Abelden|the Duke of Pleston]]. The Emperor also introduced new positions, which were voted on for the first time in this election. <br />
<br />
The second general election commenced on 28 February 2015. [[Donald of Abelden|Duke of Pleston]] won the majority of positions, but at that time, an individual could only hold a maximum of three positions. Emperor Stephen appointed other citizens to the rest of the positions. The end of the elections saw the start of the 2015 Abeldane crisis.<br />
<br />
The 2015 Abeldane crisis was a series of events that happened between 1 March 2015 until 8 March 2015. Newly elected Deputy Prime Minister [[Michael Thomas Brazeau]] was criticized for his views about opposing certain liberal ideas. The [[Prime Minister of Abelden|Prime Minister]], [[Andrew Janiszewski]], then started a petition on impeaching the Deputy Prime Minister and Brazeau promptly resigned as Deputy Prime Minister. A series of Prime Ministers were also appointed and the decision making of [[Stephen of Abelden|Emperor Stephen]] was criticized. [[Stephen of Abelden|Emperor Stephen]] then stepped down from the throne and enacted Act 6 (Election terms) and 7 (Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs) as his last decrees. On 8 March, he ended the conflicts and reappointed [[Andrew Janiszewski]] as Prime Minister again and abdicated the throne for the second time and the throne passed to [[Donald of Abelden|Emperor Donald]]. <br />
<br />
The crisis saw an increase, then decrease, in citizenship and loss of interest within the Empire. It was the first time that the reserved powers of the Emperor were ever used. Brazeau and Benjamin Norris were expelled from Abelden following the crisis. The position of Prime Minister was abolished from 4 until 5 March 2015, when the Duke of Pleston, who was the Emperor Donald, became the Prime Minister as well.<br />
<br />
[[Stephen of Abelden|Emperor Stephen]] then became the Emperor of [[Munkkia]] from 6 March 2015 until 9 March 2015. The former Emperor stepped down from the throne after realising that he held dual micronational citizenship: [[Nation of Munkkia|Munkkia]] was exclusively for Munnkians only.<br />
<br />
===Intermediate period===<br />

On 24 March 2015, Emperor Stephen became Emperor for the third time following the abdication of Emperor Donald. The third general election was held on 15 July 2015, with all citizens running for election. The general election saw the first use of an online voting system. A group of people were called to vote online as a test from the Imperial Government.<ref>Freayth, Stephen.

<br />
On 7 August 2015, Emperor Stephen enacted Act 9 (Neutrality), a law that protects Abelden's neutrality in all cases. The act also describes that the Abeldane people may only declare war if the majority of the citizens agreed to do so.<br />
<br />
A new Abeldane Constitution was enacted on 5 October 2015 after a referendum was held on the same day, with the majority of voters agreeing to the constitution. The Constitution was officially enacted and promulgated throughout the Empire and the Commonwealth through an Act of the Parliament. [[Llewelyn Lawton]] was re-elected as [[Vorsitzender]] on [[Abeldane general elections, December 2015|24 December 2015]] and [[Harry, Duke of Johnstown]] was elected as [[Stellvertreter]] for the first time. Emperor Stephen also dissolved the first [[Reichsversammlung]] and opened the second Reichsversammlung on the same day to pave way for a new government under Llewelyn Lawton.<ref>Freayth,<br />

In June 2016, Emperor Stephen completed perhaps the largest reform in all of Abeldane history, by annexing most of the member states of the Abeldane Commonwealth. A referendum was announced on 26 June 2016 throughout the Empire and the Commonwealth which was to be held on 30 June.<ref>Freayth,<br />

That same month, Stephen wrote a twenty-page constitution to replace the former one, due to the large changes in the empire. From late June to early July, Stephen reformed the Reichsversammlung, thus appointing a new Vorsitzender and Stellvertreter, as well as new members of parliament from each state. [[Emiel Hardy]] became Vorsitzender, and Isaac Reuel became Stellvertreter.<br />
<br />
The Empire oversaw several changes during its federalisation, one of which was the abdication of King Dallin I as King of St. Castle because of his retirement from the micronational community. Emiel Hardy replaced him as King and Nuri van Dijk replaced Ned Gunderson as Grand Prince of Sinoland. <ref>Freayth, Stephen.

During the first 4 months of the federal Empire, Abelden saw 3 federal states, Glaciania, Leganisberg, and Deoter, become part of [[Alenshka]]. [[East Nedland]] seceded from the Empire on September 2016 after a referendum and request by the Prince Edward I. Abelden oversaw the creation of the Grand Principality of Teodoria as the 13th federal state, headed by Grand Prince Lars. Two more states soon joined the Empire: the Duchy of Raonheim and the [[Landgraviate of Satirno]], thereby making up the present number of states in the Empire.<br />
<br />
On 26 October 2016, a [[Abeldane monarchical referendum, 2016|referendum about the Monarchy]] was held which asked voters if they had confidence in the Monarchy and the Emperor. The vote, which was open to registered and non-registered voters, passed easily with a majority of 90.2% in favour of supporting the Monarchy and the Emperor.<ref>Freayth, Stephen.

[[Henry Twain]], who was elected as Vorsitzender on [[Abeldane general election, February 2017|27 February 2017]] and garnered most of the seats in the Reichsversammlung, formed the first grand coalition in Abeldane history and has been a precedent to successive governments after him. Twain resigned on 29 March 2017 following his elevation as Acting Chair to the [[Grand Unified Micronational]]. <br />
<br />
On [[Abeldane federal election, June 2017|5 June 2017]], [[Patrick Renwick]] was reelected for a second term as Vorsitzender and won the largest landslide since [[Horatio Eden]]'s victory in the [[Abeldane general election, October 2016|October 2016 general election]]. The election also set a record for having the largest turnout as well in Abeldane electoral history, where a turnout of 95% of the registered voters voted.<br />
<br />
===From absolutism to democracy===<br />
[[File:Shiro and Gordon.jpg|thumb|right|230px|Shiro (right) was elected as Vorsitzender in December 2017.]]<br />
As the Empire slowly became more active than ever before, there were calls for a more democratic system to be installed, particularly in the way members of the Reichsversammlung were chosen. As Emperor Stephen increasingly appointed MPs that came from [[Abeldane Social Ecology]], a party formed in June 2017, their MPs soon were the largest in the Reichsversammlung and thus the process for having an elected legislature was accelerated due to the efforts of their leader, [[Newton von Uberquie]].<br />
<br />
Abelden held its first-ever legislative elections on [[Abeldane federal election, August 2017|20 August 2017]], in which the [[Abeldane Social Ecology]] won most of the seats and votes. The legislative elections followed the single-transferable voting system and two days after, the Vorsitzender and Stellvertreter elections were held using the same system and in which [[Newton von Uberquie]] and [[Artemis Langford]], both from the Abeldane Social Ecology, won the positions respectively.<ref>Kârjasary, Tarik.

<br />
By December 2017, federal elections were due to occur again. There was a constitutional concern with the Elections Act, changing the voting system to [[w:Party list|a party list system]]. However, after a constitutional plebiscite, the elections occurred from the 15th to the 20th of December in 2017. Shiro of the newly formed [[United Rhinoceros Party of Abelden|United Rhinoceros Party]] was elected Vorsitzender and [[Patrick Renwick]] of the newly merged [[Abeldane National Independence Party]] (formerly the Abeldane National Party and Abeldane National Independence Party) was elected Stellvertreter. The election was quite controversial, as electoral fraud causing the first result of the executive election returned Newton von Uberquie incorrectly as Vorsitzender. However, this was overturned by the Reichswahlkommission which led to a revote of the Vorsitzender/Stellvertretar race. Investigations into the fraud are still ongoing, and the government has yet to name a suspect, though has confirmed that the suspect is one of the citizens of the Emperor's state of Alenshka. Soon after, on 24 December 2017, the [[Merrell Ministry|28th Ministry]] was announced, comprising of members of ANIP, URP, and NFP (as well as Tarik Karjasari of ASE).<br />
<br />
===Reign of Nicholas and inactivity===<br />
On 10 January 2018, Emperor Stephen decided to go on a long term hiatus from Abelden, and thus Prince Regent Nicholas began leading the micronation on 12 January 2018. Two months later, on 24 March, the third year of his reign, Stephen abdicated the throne, and Nicholas ascended to the throne as Emperor Nicholas.<ref>Freayth, Stephen.

[[Alejandro Whyatt]] was elected as Vorsitzender in the April 2018 elections but soon after the elections, inactivity had hit its lowest in the Empire since 2015 and the Whyatt Ministry was known for its inability to fulfill its promise during the elections.<br />
<br />
On the 18th of May 2018, the [[Landgraviate of Satirno]] seceded to become a federal state of the [[Nordkavn Federation]].<br />
<br />
In June of 2018, following a period of personal and national inactivity, Emperor Nicholas announced his intention to abdicate in favor of the then-[[Newton von Uberquie|Prince Regent Newton]], who was first in line. On 16 June 2018, Newton officially ascended to the throne as Emperor Newton I. Among his first actions were declaring a snap election on June 21st, and appointing the former Emperor Stephen, who had returned to Abeldane politics, Ervecysarich and first in line to the throne.<br />
<br />
===Reign of Newton===<br />
[[File:Newtonvonuberquie 1.jpg |thumb|left|180px|[[Newton von Uberquie|Emperor Newton]], who reigned from June 2018 til May 2020.]]<br />
Following the abdication of Emperor Nicholas, Ervecysarich Newton assumed the throne on 16 June 2018 and became the second person after Nicholas to come from a different house other than the three founding houses. One of his first actions as Emperor were declaring a snap federal election on 21 June, and appointing the former Emperor Stephen, who had returned to Abeldane politics, Ervecysarich and first in line to the throne. <br />
<br />
Freayth, who ran under the [[Die Rechte]] ticket, formerly called the National Federalist Party, won the election for Vorsitzender in a landslide against Artemis Langford, of [[Abeldane Social Ecology]]. In the Stellvertreter election, Max Pollack won all of the votes with no opponents during the election. In the Reichsversammlung elections, Die Rechte captured all 4 of the 16 seats up for election, winning in total 10 out of the 16 seats in the Reichvsersammlung, and became the first party to successfully form a single party majority in the Reichsversammlung and using that majority, he also formed the first single party majority government in Abelden and the first one-party government since Donald West.<br />
<br />
Several reforms were instituted following the elections and one important reform was the enactment of a new constitution. The constitution, which was prepared by the delegates of the Reichsversammlung and by Anthony Clark, was enacted on September 2018 by the Emperor due to the inability of the Reichsversammlung to convene and all previous laws with the exemption of some were all repealed, including Imperial Decrees. A new law called the Code of Abelden was also enacted by the Emperor on the same day, which set out some new laws for the Empire. The total number of states were also reduced from 10 to 5 and all the affected states were merged into other states.<br />
<br />
On August 2018, Abelden became a founding member of the [[Konmalehth]], an organisation whose aim is to promote a close relationship between its members through cultural and economical means. It was also joined by [[Pacem]], a long time ally of Abelden, [[Legatia]] and [[Uberquiesenberg]]. Other nations like [[Sabia and Verona]] and [[Atovia]] soon joined.<br />
<br />
[[Tarik Kârjasary]] of [[ASE|Social Ecology]] was elected as Vorsitzender and [[Nicholas Kaos]] of Die Rechte as Stellvertreter on the last simultaneous election of the executive and the legislative branch of the government.<ref>Karjasary, Tarik.

His ministry saw major changes from 2018 finally implemented such as the term limit and the staggering of elections between the executive and legislative.<br />
<br />
===Decentralisation===<br />
[[File:15 tk.jpg|thumb|right|180px|[[Tarik Kârjasary]], who was elected as [[Vorsitzender]] in December 2018, oversaw major reforms within the government.]]<br />

<br />
The year 2019 was notable for the events of the [[Behemothgate]], in which accusations of espionage lead to the expulsion of several prominent members of the [[Behemoth Party]], and eventually a mass migration away by most of the party members from Abelden.

<br />
As states became more active at the expense of the federal government, several states saw a change in their leaderships and governments because of reforms and changes. [[Alexander]] saw their long-time Grand Duke Max replaced by [[Nicholas Randouler]] after pressure was made to the Emperor by the Reichsregierungskabinett and other concerned citizens.<ref>Freayth, Stephen.

==Geography==<br />
{{Main|States of Abelden}}<br />
<br />
The Abeldane Empire consists of six federal states, the largest of which is the [[Kingdom of Morgannwg]]. Before the federalisation of Abelden, all federal states were either independent or were a part of an another independent state before joining, or were created in the Empire. The [[Abeldane Monarchy|Abeldane crown]] is inherited on a rotational basis by the state monarchs, though it was previously permanently held by the [[Monarchy of Alenshka|King of Alenshka]]. Originally, Abelden was composed of 15 federal states. Three duchies were annexed to Alenshka on the 10 September 2016.<ref>Freayth,<br />

Retrieved 26 October 2016.</ref> The federal states are divided into 4 kingdoms and 2 grand duchies each ruled by their respective monarchs.<br />
<br />
Before the federalisation in 2016, Abelden was divided into administrative regions and each administrative regions were further divided into cities. Administrative regions were headed by a Governor and cities were headed by a Mayor. The administrative regions were named based on their regional location and all administrative regions located in the United States either had the word 'west' in their names. <br />
<br />
Abelden's capital is [[Kaiserstadt]], a federal territory separate from the federal states. Kaiserstadt was established as the capital of the empire following the reforms of 1 August 2020. Previous to this, Abelden had 2 capitals; [[Pleston]] and [[Alexton]], which symbolised the two continents where Abelden's claims originated; Pleston being located in Asia with Alexton located in North America. These cities Were part of [[Alenshka]] and were simultaneously the co-capitals of the Kingdom.<br />
<br />
[[Abeldane Crown Dependency|Crown Dependencies]], which are autonomous territories but federal laws or state laws do not specifically apply to any of the territories unless specially enacted into law by the [[Reichsversammlung]]; however they fall under Abeldane sovereignty and the Crown is directly responsible for governing it, through High Commissioners.<br />

==Government and politics==<br />
{{Politics of Abelden}}<br />
Abelden is a [[w:Federalism|federal]], [[w:Parliamentary system|parliamentary democracy]] with a hereditary, [[w:Constitutional monarchy|constitutional]] [[w:Monarchy|monarchy]] headed by the [[Abeldane Monarchy|Abeldane Emperor]], with the imperial crown being inherited on a rotational basis by the monarchs of the Empire’s federal states. The basic laws of the Empire is prescribed in the [[Abeldane Constitution|Constitution]]. The current constitution was adopted in 2018 but saw profound amendment in 2020. The constitution grants the Monarch, known as the Abeldane Emperor, executive powers. The federal government, officially known as ''His Imperial and Royal Exalted Majesty's Government'' or also known as the ''Imperial Government'', consists of ministers in the government and are responsible for the daily governance of the entire Empire through their respective duties as prescribed in the law headed by the [[Vorsitzender]], who is the head of government, and is assisted by the [[Stellvertreter]] and various ministers within his Cabinet.<ref>[http://abelden.weebly.com/about.html About] ''Imperial Abeldane Government'' Retrieved 28 December 2016.</ref><br />
<br />
===Structure===<br />
<br />
:''Main articles: [[Reichsregierungskabinett]] and [[Reichsversammlung]]''<br />
<br />
The [[Monarchy of Abelden|Monarch]] is the head of state of the Empire and as such is the head of ''The Crown'', which in turn is the state in all aspects and the legal embodiment of the executive, legislative and judicial governance in the Monarchy. The Monarch has the right to appoint and dismiss ministers or any members of the Imperial Government and is counselled on the matters of state by the [[Vorsitzender]] and the [[Cabinet of Abelden]]. The Monarch is a constitutional monarch as the Monarch is subjected to the laws of the Empire, but may also do some independent decisions without consent. Traditionally, though constitutional, the monarchy exercises significant political influence.<ref>[http://abelden.weebly.com/the-imperial-and-royal-monarchy.html The Imperial and Royal Monarchy] ''Imperial Abeldane Government'' Retrieved 28 December 2016.</ref> <br />
<br />
[[File:P Renwick2.jpg|thumb|200px|left|[[Patrick Renwick]], the incumbent [[Vorsitzender]].]]<br />
Under the Crown is the Imperial Government, which maintains the daily governance of the Empire and ensures the well-being of its citizens. In a legal sense, the Crown is the legal embodiment of all the three branches in the Imperial Government and as such the names ''His Imperial and Royal Exalted Majesty's Government'' is where it derives from. The Imperial Government is divided into three: the Emperor-in-Council (the executive), the Emperor-in-Parliament (the legislative) and the Emperor-in-Court (the judiciary). <br />
<br />
The [[Reichsregierungskabinett]] is the main body in the executive that is entirely composed of ministers and secretaries who are appointed by the Monarch or the Vorsitzender. All members are accountable to the Reichsversammlung. The cabinet is headed by the [[Vorsitzender]].<br />
<br />
The [[Vorsitzender]] is the head of the government, who is directly elected by the people and/or appointed by the Monarch. The [[Vorsitzender]] operates the day to day running of the nation. The [[Stellvertreter]] acts as the deputy of the Vorsitzender in the event that the Vorsitzender may become incapacitated, lose contact, or resigns. The Stellvertreter, like the Vorsitzender, is also elected by the people as one of the two directly elected officials in the Imperial Government.<br />
<br />
The [[Reichsversammlung]] is the [[w:bicameralism|bicameral]] legislature of the Empire. The Reichsversammlung is divided into two chambers: the upper [[Bundesrat]] and the lower [[Volkstag]]. The Bundesrat consists of 1 representative from each federal state, chosen by whichever method each individual state finds suitable. The Volkstag consists of popularly elected representatives, known formally as ''Members of the Volkstag'' or MP/MV. They are elected every six months via a system of [[w:party list|party list]] [[w:proportional representation|proportional representation]]. Previously, members were appointed by the Monarch and the only way members could gain a seat was if a vacancy occurred. Acts passed by the Reichsversammlung are done in the name of the Monarch and are known as an [[Acts of the Parliament in Abelden|Act of the Parliament]].<ref>[http://reichsversammlung.weebly.com/about.html About] ''Reichsversammlung'' Retrieved 28 December 2016.</ref><br />
<br />
Since 10 July 2020, [[Patrick Renwick]] of the [[National Royalists]] has been [[Vorsitzender]], leading the [[Seventh Renwick ministry]], which is in a government consisting of the National Royalists, formed in the aftermath of the [[Abeldane executive election, August 2020|August 2020 Executive election]]. Renwick’s [[Stellvertreter]] is [[Newton von Uberquie]], also of the National Royalists.<br />
<br />
The judiciary of the Empire is divided into two parts: the federal courts and the state courts. The judiciary has extensive powers of judicial review. There are three tiers of federal court: first-tier federal court, circuit court and the [[Reichshöchsgericht]], which is the court of last resort. At present, the Chief Justice is [[Thomas Bainbridge]]. States have the right to establish their own judiciaries (at present, only Alenshka and Alexander have done so), but their judgements may still be appealed the Reichshöchsgericht. Otherwise, cases concerning state law are heard by first-tier state courts, which are regulated by federal law and staffed by federal judges.<br />
<br />
===Ministries and Cabinet===<br />
The executive branch of the Empire is exercised by the Privy Council of Abelden under the Constitution. The Privy Council is divided into two bodies: the [[Kronrat]], which is the Monarch’s advisory and executive council, and the [[Reichsregierungskabinett]], the elected government exercising principle governmental power. The Reichsregierungskabinett is composed of the Vorsitzender, the Stellvertreter, the [[Great Offices of State (Abelden)|Great Offices of State]] and other ministers who are appointed by the Monarch, usually on the advice of the Vorsitzender. In order to be eligible as a member of the Reichsregierungskabinett, and therefore as a minister, a person must be a full Abeldane citizen and not have been found guilty of any misconduct by the courts. At present, there are 6 ministers in the ''Kabinett'' including the Vorsitzender and Stellvertreter.<br />
<br />
The Ministries are currently—<br />
<br />
*[[Ministry of Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (Abelden)|Ministry of Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs]] - led by the Lord Ambassador, responsible for maintaining diplomatic relations with other nations.<br />
*[[Ministry of Finance (Abelden)|Ministry of Finance]] - led by the [[Ministry of Finance (Abelden)#Chancellors|Lord Chancellor]], responsible for the maintenance of the economy and overseeing the works of the businesses in the Empire.<br />

*Ministry of Justice - led by the [[Attorney General of Abelden|Lord Advocate]], responsible for maintaining records of all legislation and Imperial Decrees passed and representing the Imperial Government in legal cases.<br />
*[[Ministry of Homeland and Geographical Affairs (Abelden)|Ministry of Homeland and Geographical Affairs]] - led by the Lord Procurator, responsible for the defense and affairs regarding the geographical structure of the Empire.<br />
*[[Ministry of the Reichsregierungskabinett (Abelden)|Ministry of State and Kabinett Affairs]] - led by the Cabinet Office Minister; ex officio held by the [[Stellvertreter]], responsible for arranging the meetings of the [[Reichsregierungskabinett]] and recording all of its meetings, along with overseeing federal-state relations.<br />

===Elections and federal political parties===<br />
{{Main|Political parties in Abelden}}<br />
<br />
General elections are usually the core of activity within the Empire as registered voters get to vote. Usually, general elections happen every 6 months, thereby making 2 general elections per year. Previously, general elections were held every 3 months. The longest gap between general elections was the gap between the [[Abeldane general elections, December 2015|December 2015 elections]] and the [[Abeldane general elections, June 2016|June 2016 elections]], a period of six months, following the official constitutional rule on elections per year. <br />
<br />
Political parties in Abelden are very common and the oldest political party still in existence is the [[Liberty Front]], established on 17 January 2019. The Liberty Front rose to this position after the merger of the [[Abeldane National Union]] and the [[Party of Royalists and Greens]]. The youngest political party in Abelden are the [[Confederals]], founded in July 2020. Presently, there are three federal political parties operating in Abelden, with all three represented in the [[Reichsversammlung]]. <br />

==State governments==<br />
<br />
===Monarchs===<br />
The Abeldane Empire is at present composed of six federal states, each one having their own respective monarch or monarchs as head of state. The heads of the states are collectively referred as ''Federal Princes'' or in German as ''Bundesfürst''. The [[Abeldane Monarchy|Imperial Monarchy]] is inherited on a rotational basis by the Federal Princes, in order of statehood and, if statehood having been simultaneous, alphabetical order. Each federal monarch is distinct in terms of their styles, with the two titles currently used being "king" and "grand duke", though in the past the empire has also had monarchs titled "grand prince", "archduke", "duke", "landgrave" or "prince". <br />
<br />
The following are the present Emperor and the federal princes or monarchs of the six states of the Empire:<br />

==Law==<br />
There are several sources of federal law in Abelden:<br />
<br />
*the Constitution;<br />
*Orders of the Kronrat<br />
*Imperial decrees;<br />
*Acts of the Reichsversammlung;<br />
*federal court judgements;<br />
*orders of executive office holders;<br />
*international law.<br />
<br />
Permanent public law is codified in the Code of the Abeldane Empire ([https://abeldaneregister.files.wordpress.com/2020/08/abeldane-code-third-edition-pdf.pdf current revision]). The Code is authoritative, and contains an edited and organised compilation of permanent Acts and Imperial decrees. It frequently also contains entirely new material. New editions are published infrequently, but revisions that note new laws and court rulings are published more frequently.<br />
<br />
The Abeldane judiciary is powerful, and can strike unconstitutional laws. It can also order public authorities to act or to refrain from acting in a certain way. The power of judicial review extends to the Crown; but only in its official governmental capacity, as the Monarch in a personal capacity enjoys total immunity.<br />
<br />
==Foreign relations==<br />

<br />
Several nations including [[Legatia]] and [[Empire of Andrestan|Andrestan]] that are under the influence of Abelden are part of the [[Abeldane Commonwealth]], which recognises the Emperor as the head of state. Other nations that Abelden maintains close relations include [[Pacem]] and [[Verus]]. <br />
<br />
It is a member currently of four intermicronational organisations: the [[Grand Unified Micronational]], [[International Agricultural Development Pact]], [[Union Against Micronational War]] and the Asia-Pacific Alliance.<br />

The federal states are also allowed to maintain military forces in the form of state armies, navies and air forces. At present only the state of [[Demirelia]] has a military, the [[Demirelian Royal State Forces|Royal State Forces]], divided into the [[Landvern]] and the [[Statsleidang]].<br />
<br />
There are ongoing interests on reviving the military and turning it into an active organisation. In the past the Empire maintained a base in [[Kingdom of Bosmansk|Bosmansk]] at the request of the Bosmanian government but its status is currently unknown due to the dissolution of Bosmansk.<ref>Freayth,<br />

==Economy==<br />
[[File:Trimole notes 2019.png|thumb|left|150px|Banknotes of the [[Abeldane Trimole|Trimole]], issued in 2019.]]<br />
The economy of Abelden can be considered as a mixed economy due to the constant interventions of the government on businesses and at the economy in general. Several businesses in Abelden are also state-owned like [[Reichsdruckerei]] but some new businesses are no longer state-owned. There have been several instances when the economy was dissolved or abolished due to the unsatisfactory results it delivered. <br />
<br />
States like [[Alenshka]] are developing their own economies and it is encouraged by the Imperial and State government to let residents establish their own businesses in order to stimulate and functioning and active economy within the state and the Empire.<br />
<br />
Abelden's currency, the [[Trimole]], is the national currency and used by several members of the Commonwealth. The trimole is issued by the [[Imperial Central Bank]], the central bank of the Empire, and responsible for maintaining the interest rates and money supply within the economy. Currently, the Imperial Central Bank is lead by [[Samuel Carnogursky]], the Governor since August 2020.<br />

===Languages===<br />
According to the Abeldane Constitution, the official languages of the Empire are English and German. English is the most commonly used language in the Empire and is required to be learned by all citizens. German is rarely spoken, but is used on official government documents and most institutions and offices are named in German. Other official languages used in the federal states are Norwegian, Irish, Spanish, Welsh, Latin and Sabian. Previously, the federal government also recognised French as an official language, alongside the constructed Abeldane language. Both of these languages lost their constitutional status following the August 2020 reforms.<br />

}}<br />
Abelden is a secular state and all federal states are also secular. Since its foundation, the freedom to exercise religion has been guaranteed and given to the people by the Constitution. Religion plays no part in the government but it plays a minor role in the Monarchy, wherein the Church of Abelden is recognised as the sole and primary institution that can crown the Emperor. <br />
<br />
The [[Church of Abelden]] is the state organised church that exists within Abelden, and is responsible for the spiritual well-being of its Christian citizens. The Church considers itself as a nondenominational Christian church and is headed by a Patriarch.<br />
<br />
Most of the population are adherents to [[w:Christianity|Christianity]], with [[w:Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholicism]] compromising the largest group followed by [[w:Protestants|Protestants]]. There are other minor religions which include [[w:Islam|Islam]], [[w:Hinduism|Hinduism]] and [[w:Judaism|Judaism]], of which all do not compromise more than 20% of the population. While half of the population adhere to a religion, 38% of the population are irreligious and it is only behind Christianity in terms of numbers. Since foundation, Christianity has remained the largest religious group in the Empire.<br />
<br />
==Culture==<br />
Abelden derives elements of its culture from Asian, European and American culture. The influence can be seen from the fact that Abelden's federal states are found in 4 continents. In [[Alenshka]], dishes are usually in traditional Arab cuisine and some dishes are influenced from Western cuisine; dressing manner are usually to be done in a conservative manner in some cities and in some in a liberal way. Religion is freely expressed in the Kingdom, but during holy months in the Islamic Calendar, respect must be given for all Muslims in the Kingdom.<br />
<br />
The culture is mostly influenced by the federal states in North America, of which it brought influences of liberty, democracy, music, language and more. Western music is widely accepted in the Empire, as are some of the things that citizens usually enjoy doing. Federal states in Europe tend to have strong independent cultural and linguistic identities, with especially heavy focus on language protection. European languages are mostly dominant in the Empire, with English and Norwegian being mostly spoken daily by citizens in the Empire. <br />
<br />
===Traditions===<br />
History is usually a general knowledge within the Empire and most citizens at least know about World War II. A new kind of art culture emerged from the Empire after federalisation begun and is usually known as "Memes." Memes are quite common within the Empire and at least every citizen has created a meme for themselves and has integrated into the usual activities in the Empire and the Imperial Government. The creation of [[Microball]] comics has also emerged and is usually very popular amongst the citizens.<br />
[[File:LSydunche front.png|thumb|right|250px|The front page of ''[[L'Sydunche|L'Sydunche]]'' from 2019.]]<br />
<br />
===Media===<br />
Abelden's media is well and richly written. The constitution provides citizens freedom of speech and many other liberties that they may use. The first newspaper in Abelden is ''[[L'Sydunche|The Abeldane]]'', formerly known as ''The Abeldane Times''. Other prominent newspapers in the empire include the [[Amerston Post]]. There also exist other Abeldane newspapers, such as the ''[[Home-made Crown Journal]]'' alongside the Rai Journal.<br />
<br />
Other media outlets that occasionally cover news for Abelden but are not local, include the ''[[Daily Micronational]]'', ''[[FLAMN]]'' and the ''[[Messenger]]''.<br />
<br />
===Cuisine===<br />
Abelden's cuisine and eating habits are influenced mostly by Arab and Philippine cuisine. Alenshkan cuisine is mostly well-known by the use of meat and chicken often in all kinds of food. Alenshkans usually feed on rice with an unlimited assortment of viands, which is a normal way of eating for Asians. In [[Alexton]], vegetables are mostly consumed by citizens and sweet dishes like cakes and pies are also consumed daily. People in [[Pleston]] usually go out in malls for traditional Western cuisine or Asian cuisine or mixed and don't usually eat at homes.<br />
<br />
===Holidays===<br />
National holidays in Abelden are of an importance to all. Each federal state has their own respective holidays, but the Empire have holidays that applies to all federal states and not just to one. All holidays are not usually regulated, and may be removed or added with the discretion from the federal government.<br />
<br />
On 20 January 2016, Emperor Stephen declared two new holidays in the Empire: the Autism Acceptance Day and the Anxiety and Depression Week. The ADD takes place every 2 April whilst the A&DW takes place every first week of May. The two holidays were dedicated to the Former Empress, who herself has autism and depression. <ref>Freayth, Stephen.

<br />
On 13 June 2020, Emperor Nicholas declared a national holiday in remembrance of Nicholas Randouler, who had passed 10 days prior at a young age. The declaration was due to Randouler's importance in Abeldane history since 2018, and was decreed alongside his Knighthood to the [[Order of Memery]].<br />

<hr />
<div>{{Politics of SiV}}<br />
The '''Book of Electors''' ([[Sabian language|Sabian]]: ''ideragiħuro''; [[w:Spanish language|Spanish]]: ''Libro de Electores'') is a tome edited exclusively by the [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|Monarch]] of [[Sabia and Verona]] recording all the [[Peerage of Sabia and Verona|noble houses and lineages]] in the Kingdom. The Book serves the purpose of keeping track of all Sabioveronese citizens who are eligible to become King or Queen of the Valtirians, as Sabia and Verona is an [[w:Elective monarchy|elective monarchy]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Book was first introduced in 2014, when Sabia and Verona separated from the [[Monarchy of Juclandia|Juclandian Crown]] and [[Isadora of Sabia and Verona|Isadora Annenak]] was crowned Queen of All Sabia, Verona and Lycem (a title that was later abridged to "Queen of the Valtirians"). The Book sought to formally inscribe all [[Valtirians|human citizens]] of the Kingdom who had the right to vote in Royal Elections – hence "Book of ''Electors''" – as the [[Constitution of Sabia and Verona#Constitution of 2014|Constitution of 2014]] established a difference between the human nobility and commoner human citizens in regards to who had royal voting rights. The first book was edited by Queen Isadora shortly after her coronation, in April 2014.<br />
<br />
Voting rights in Royal Elections were expanded to all Sabioveronese humans with the introduction of the [[Constitution of Sabia and Verona#Constitution of 2015|Constitution of 2015]], in the aftermath of the [[Haronos Plan]]. This meant the purpose and nature of the Book of Electors shifted as well: it was no longer to record the names of eligible voters, but the name of eligible ''candidates'' to become King or Queen of the Valtirians. The 2015 Constitution did not mention the Book of Electors at all; its use was reduced to mere convention, although it was not used as no monarchical successions took place during the mandate of this particular constitutional document.<br />
<br />
The present constitution of Sabia and Verona, adopted in [[Sabioveronese Constitutional Assembly|2017]], incorporated the Book of Electors into its text, and formalized its role as the fundamental document recording all eligible candidates to the Valtirian throne. It also formalized the Monarch's exclusive right to add and amend to the Book.<br />
<br />
==List of lineages in the Book==<br />
List updated as of 2021, when the Book was last updated. Below the lineages are the [[Peerage of Sabia and Verona|peerages]] associated to them. '''Bold''' indicates the lineage produced a monarch, ''italic'' indicates the lineage no longer contains any eligible candidates to the Throne, <del>strikethrough</del> indicates the lineage has been removed from the Book.<br />

The '''House of Karjasari''' ([[Sabian language|Sabian]]: ''agsidái karjasaro''; <small>Sabian pronunciation</small> [[w:Help:IPA|/kaɾʝaˈsaːɾi/]]), more commonly spelt in the Middle Sabian form, '''Kârjasary''', is a prominent family and house of [[Book of Electors|electors]] from [[Sabia and Verona]] and the [[Valtir Sector]], and the current ruling house of the Kingdom of Sabia and Verona. In the past, the family has held many important places in the Valtir Sector and has ruled many nations in the area. Up until 2014 the Kârjasary were rulers of [[Lycem]], but the nation lost its independence and the Lycene monarchy was disestablished when the country became a part of Sabia and Verona. As of 2019, no members of the family remain in the Valtir.<br />
<br />
==Name==<br />
''Kârjasary'' is a Middle Sabian word, meaning "through the peaks", or more accurately, "through some peaks". It's the paucal perlative form of ''kâr'', a now obsolete word derived from the Old Sabian word for "mountain", ''kârê''. The Modern Sabian spelling of the name is ''Karjasari''; the original meaning of the word is no longer present following the Winter Reform; it would now be rendered as ''bariotu'' (a plural perlative form of ''baro'', as the paucal number was eliminated).<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Pre-Micronational===<br />
The Karjasari family traces its descent from the town of [[w:Arizkun|Arizkun]], in the [[w:Baztan (comarca)|Baztan]] ''comarca'' of northern [[w:Navarre|Navarre]], [[w:Spain|Spain]]. The earliest records of the Karjasari name belonged to [[w:Navarre|Navarre]] [[w:Basques|Basques]] who emigrated to [[w:Argentina|Argentina]] in the late XIX century. The line arrived in Argentina with Ħandovu Betronavái Karjasari, father of Ħammartínn Mariavái (born 1887), who in turn was father of Ħankarlo Nedavái (1923–2007). Ħankarlo was married to the [[w:Corrientes|Corrientes]]-born Argentine-Brazilian Teria Margretavái Groxi (1937–2002). After settling down in [[w:Buenos Aires|Buenos Aires]], Ħankarlo and Groxi had a daughter; Mon Teriavái. Due to the hardships of the Argentine economy, Ħankarlo chose to move the family to [[w:Venezuela|Venezuela]], country which at the time posed as an attractive destination for dissidents of other South American countries with dictatorships.<br />
<br />
In Venezuela, the marriage produced a second daughter, Koda Batriš Teriavái. The family moved back to Argentina in the 1970's. Ħankarlo and Teria separated in the 1980's. Ħankarlo remained in Buenos Aires, while Teria moved with Koda to [[w:Germany|Germany]] in the 1990's. Teria died in 2001. Koda had two children in the years that followed: Tarik, her firstborn, was born in Germany in 1999; Kaj in 2007 in Venezuela. Ħankarlo died in 2007.<br />
<br />
===Micronationalism===<br />
[[File:Emblem of the Region of Lycem.png|thumb|250px|Eye of [[Darmo]], sigil used by the House of Karjasari during their rule over the [[Lycem|Lycene Freehold]].]]<br />
The family began its involvement in [[w:Micronation|micronationalism]] in 2011 when Tarik, alongside a group of fellow students founded the Republic of Cizland in what is now the [[Valtir Sector]]. The family became the ruling house of the Holy Dussesh Empire after the collapse of Cizland, and shortly after they held titles in Montblanc and the [[Berinese Confederation]], neither of which lasted much. Similar cases happened in Montriac, where the family ruled through Mon's husband, Kodié (under the regnant name of Claudio I) while Tarik served as Prime Minister. In 2012 the [[Berinese Confederation|Berinese Empire]] was founded, and again the family held important titles, as happened subsequently in the Principality of Artaghe. Finally the creation of [[Lycem]] marked the end of the family's royalty, with the annexation of Lycem into [[Sabia and Verona]].<br />
<br />
In 2015, Tarik was crowned [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|King of the Valtirians]] following the abdication of [[Isadora of Sabia and Verona|Queen Isadora]], and the House of Karjasari became the ruling house of Sabia and Verona. Amidst the economic and social crisis in Venezuela, the members of the family living in Venezuela left for Argentina as part of the [[Haronos Plan]], where they became reunited with Mon Teriavái. The Karjasari would then be involved in the establishment of the [[Alios|City of Alios]], Sabia and Verona's new capital.<br />
<br />
==Members==<br />
Hyphenation is a prevalent practice in Valtirian aristocratic tradition. As Karjasari is a major family name in the Kingdom, it traditionally comes first in hyphenated names. The Karjasari who claim their descent from Ħankarlo Nedavái Karjasari and Teria Margretavái Groxi are known as Karjasari Groxi. In 2017, King Tarik formalized this name by royal decree for all descendents of Ħankarlo and Teria.<br />

==Titles==<br />
The family has held a multitude of titles thanks to the instability of the [[Valtir Sector]]. It has been the royal family of five nations in the sector, and in all of them several members of the main branch have not only been bestowed titles of high dignity but have also occupied important political offices. The following are the titles currently held by the various members of the royal family in the [[peerage of Sabia and Verona]] and abroad.<br />

The '''Batu Party''' ([[Sabian language|Sabian]]: ''batugaki'') is an [[Abelden|Abeldane]] regional political party based in [[Grand Duchy of Rai|Rai]], one of the constituent states of Abelden. The word ''batu'' means "South" in the [[Sabian language]] spoken in Rai, and it is also an acronym for ''batairañ tairinená userikán'' ("Southern Board for Justice and Preservation"). It was founded and is currently led by Rai's monarch, Grand Duke [[Tarik of Sabia and Verona|Tarik Karjasari]].<br />
<br />
It was founded in June 2019 after Karjasari left [[Abeldane Social Ecology]]. The Batu Party currently holds all seat in the [[Bok of Rai]], the consultative assembly of the Grand Duchy; two of these seats were elected at the [[Abeldane federal election, June 2020|June 2020 state election]]. <br />
<br />
==Ideology==<br />
It is a [[w:Monarchism|monarchist]], [[w:Environmentalism|environmentalist]] and [[w:Regionalism|regionalist]] political party. The party advocates for the establishment of a [[w:Bicameralism|bicameral]] legislature in Abelden to ensure permanent representation for Rai in the Empire's federal government, and stands for the preservation of Rai's green areas. Additionally, Batu supports the continued use of the [[Sabian language]] as the Grand Duchy's sole official language, as it understands Rai as part of the "[[Valtirians|Valtirian nation]]".<br />

The '''Bok of Rai''' ([[Sabian language|Sabian]]: ''baraibarakurobók''; lit. "Grand Ducal Council") is the formal advisory body of the [[Grand Duchy of Rai]], a [[States of Abelden|federal state]] of the [[Abeldane Empire]]. The Bok is a [[w:Unicameralism|unicameral]] body with no binding legislative powers; rather, as described by the [[Charter of Rai]], it is a "consultative body [...] in the fashion of a council of deliberation, in order to channel [...] demands and advise the [[Monarchy of Rai|Grand Duke]] on matters of governance".<ref name=charter>[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m6YIgWOm1ooxe3eZ6mFDAzVf9tNO_XQt/view Charter of Rai], Article 5, Section "a".</ref> By political convention, the chair of the Bok is the [[Seneschal of Rai|Seneschal]], who leads the Grand Ducal government in the Rai monarch's name. The first and currently sitting Bok was constituted following the [[Abeldane federal election, June 2020|June 2020 federal election]], in which all members of the Bok were elected.<ref name=decree>[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1s7O9HBAHlyVuNS8JTEcVxKe0lq3Vtclh/view "Constitution of the Bok of Rai Decree 2020"]. Grand Duchy of Rai. 30 June 2020. Retrieved 30 June 2020.</ref><br />
<br />
==Name==<br />
The word "Bok" comes from the [[Sabian language]], officially the sole language of Rai (though by convention, the English language is the ''lingua franca'' of the Grand Duchy and the [[Abeldane Empire]] as a whole). The word means "council", "court" or "tribunal", and is also used by [[Sabia and Verona|Sabioveronese]] courts of law and the [[Electoral Commission (Sabia and Verona)|Electoral Commission]] of Sabia and Verona.<br />
<br />
Members of the Bok are known as ''bokág'' (plural ''bokagi'', collective form ''bokar''). The direct Sabian translation would be "councillor" or "councilmember", and it is formed by adding the agentive suffix ''-ág'' to the word ''bok''.<br />
<br />
==Powers and structure==<br />
The powers of the Bok are outlined in the [[Charter of Rai]], the Grand Duchy's constitutional document. According to the Charter, should the [[Monarchy of Rai|Grand Duke]] desire, "be it because of an increase in the number of citizens and therefore demands," a consultative body in the fashion of a council of deliberation may be created in order to channel these demands and advise the Grand Duke on matters of governance.<ref name=charter/> Therefore, the Bok does not have any sort of binding legislative or executive authority, but rather, it serves the function of suggesting possible political decisions and adivising the Grand Duke in matters of all sorts.<br />
<br />
The Grand Duke may decide how members of the Bok are to be selected, be it through elections among the populace, through direct appointment, or by a mixed system of both. The sitting Bok, elected in [[Abeldane federal election, June 2020|June 2020]], was partially elected through universal suffrage using the [[w:Party list|party list]] [[w:Proportional representation|proportional representation]] system in a single state-wide district, and an additional member was appointed by the Grand Duke. The Bok currently has a single seat, which belongs to the [[Batu Party]] (the sole existing party in the Grand Duchy).<ref name=decree/><br />

The '''Grand Duchy of Rai''' ([[Sabian language|Sabian]]: ''baraibarakurói ra''), simply known as '''Rai''' is a federal state of the [[Abeldane Empire]], founded in [[2016]]. From July to August 2016, it was known as the Grand Duchy of Bergendorf, and from August 2016 to June 2017 it was known as the Grand Duchy of New Lviv. Its current monarch is [[Tarik of Sabia and Verona|Tarik of Karjasari]], [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|King]] of [[Sabia and Verona]]. <br />
<br />
Rai claims territory in [[w:Argentina|Argentina]], not far from Sabia and Verona's southernmost claims of [[Alios]] and [[Gonn]], and [[Austenasia]]'s crown dependency of [[Esmondia]], and in the [[w:United States|United States]]. The capital of Rai, and its only present territory, is [[Batori]]. The first Grand Duke of Bergendorf was Angelo I, who was succeeded by [[Grant Hawkins|Grant]] in August 2016, as Grand Duke of New Lviv. Tarik became Grand Duke on 30 June 2017, and renamed the Grand Duchy as Rai. <br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The word ''rai'' comes from the [[Sabian language]], and it means "primordial", "superior" or "king". The demonym of the Grand Duchy is ''rai''. New Lviv, the grand duchy's former name, comes from the city of [[w:Lviv|Lviv]] in the [[w:Ukraine|Ukraine]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The state was originally founded in 2016 as the Grand Duchy of Bergendorf, a name it held briefy while it was governed by Grand Duke Angelo I Geulin.<ref>Freayth, Stephen (2 July 2016). [https://abeldanetimes.wordpress.com/2016/07/02/new-federal-monarchs-appointed/ "New federal monarchs appointed"]. ''[[Abeldane Times]]''. Retrieved 17 May 2020.</ref> The Grand Duchy's original claims lay in the United States. When Angelo abdicated in 2016, the Grand Duchy was given to former [[Vorsitzender]] and [[Conservative Party of Abelden]] politician [[Grant Hawkins]], who on 26 August 2016 became Grand Duke Grant and renamed the state New Lviv, for the Ukrainian city of [[w:Lviv|Lviv]].<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/AbeldenGov/permalink/1773884286161051/ "Posted on 26 August 2016"]. Abelden on [[w:Facebook|Facebook]] (archived). Retrieved 17 May 2020.</ref><ref name=seneschal>Karjasari, Tarik (6 January 2018). [https://lsydunche.wordpress.com/2018/01/06/alex-white-appointed-seneschal-of-rai/ "Alex White appointed Seneschal of Rai"]. ''[[L'Sydunche]]''. Retrieved 10 May 2020.</ref> New Lviv had its capital in New Kent, surrounded by the [[w:United States|United States]] state of [[w:Ohio|Ohio]], and its official languages were Afrikaans, English and Ukrainian.<br />
<br />
Following Grand Duke Grant's abdication in June 2017, [[Stephen I & II|Emperor Stephen]] granted the Grand Duchy to [[Tarik of Sabia and Verona|Tarik Karjasari]], [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|King]] of [[Sabia and Verona]], who renamed it as ''Rai'', the [[Sabian language|Sabian]] word for "primordial" and "king". The Grand Duchy's North American claims were ceded back and new land in [[w:Argentina|Argentina]] near Sabia and Verona was claimed. The Grand Duchy's first Seneschal, Alex White, was appointed in 2017.<ref name=seneschal/><br />
<br />
In September 2017, the Principality of Skandberg was merged with Rai, and so the Grand Duchy once again attained land claims in North America. These claims were subsequently relinquished.<br />
<br />
In 2019 Karjasari left federal politics to focus on Rai, and abandoned the [[Abeldane Social Ecology|Social Ecology Party]] to found the [[Batu Party]], an exclusively regional party that advocates for regional rights and the promotion of [[Valtirians|Valtirian culture]] in the grand duchy. The same year, the Grand Duke expanded the Grand Duchy's territorial claims in Batori, expanding the border with Sabia and Verona.<ref name=expand>Karjasari, Tarik (15 January 2019).

Retrieved 10 May 2020.</ref> In October 2019 Rai became the last federal state to sign the Treaty of Accession of the [[Kingdom of Tusmore|Archduchy of Tusmore]].<br />
<br />
In January 2020, Austin Jaax was appointed Seneschal of Rai, replacing White. In May 2020, Grand Duke Tarik released a decree officially establishing the Charter of Rai as the Grand Duchy's first constitutional document.<ref name=mbirag>[https://www.instagram.com/p/CARMOj_AlYf/ "baraibarakuróa karim toagaku"].

Retrieved 23 May 2020.</ref> The Charter granted ample executive, legislative and judicial powers to the Monarchy, whilst establishing the framework for the formation of a consultative assembly named ''Bok''.<br />
<br />
Following a seditious non-binding referendum held on 2 January 2021 to dethrone Tarik, Jaax and another bokág were barred from holding public office, and the office of the Seneschal was vacated.<ref>[https://abeldaneregister.wordpress.com/2021/01/13/disqualification-from-public-office-of-jaax-a-and-montan-l-decree-2021-rai/ "Disqualification from public office of Jaax, A. and Montan, L.

<br />
==Geography==<br />
[[File:Batori, Rai.jpg|thumb|250px|Central Road in [[Batori]], capital of Rai.]]<br />
Rai is part of the broader area known as Ħanjago, which includes all of [[Sabia and Verona]]'s southern territories. The grand duchy's nominal capital, [[Batori]], and its surrounding territories are located within a flat open area bordering the [[w:Buenos Aires|Autonomous City of Buenos Aires]] in [[w:Argentina|Argentina]] to the North and East and the [[Doga Runann|Doga Runann Dependency]] in [[Sabia and Verona]] to the Southwest. These territories lay 25 m (82 ft) above sea level, mostly covered in pastures and presenting a mild degree of [[w:Biodiversity|biodiversity]] in fauna and flora.<br />
<br />
The Rai border with Sabia and Verona is subject to an international treaty signed between Abelden and the Sabioveronese state which allows for the free movement of people and goods; the treaty has been in place since 7 March 2019.<ref>[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1R9l1FkHfduOk4bGhXMWG6vUurg8Ttgb6J7FRbjcRP78/edit "Abolition of Border Checks at the Rai Border (Agreement) Act"]. ''[[Reichsversammlung]]''. Retrieved 17 May 2020.</ref><br />
<br />
===Climate===<br />
Rai has a [[w:Humid subtropical climate|humid subtropical climate]] ([[w:Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Cfa''), with very humid summers and mild winters. The warmest month is January, with a daily average of 25.1 °C (77.2 °F). Most days see temperatures in the 28 to 31 °C (82 to 88 °F) with nights between 16 to 21 °C (61 to 70 °F). Heat waves from Brazil can push temperatures above 35 °C (95 °F), yet Rai is subject to cold fronts that bring short periods of pleasant weather and crisp nights. [[w:Relative humidity|Relative humidity]] is 64–70% in the summer, so the [[w:Heat index|heat index]] is higher than the true air temperature. Spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) are generally mild and volatile, with averages temperatures of around 17 °C (63 °F) and frequent thunderstorms, especially during the spring.<br />
<br />
Winters are temperate, though frost may be experienced from May to September. Relative humidity averages in the upper 70s%, which means the territory is subjected to moderate to heavy fogs during autumn and winter. July is the coolest month, with an average temperature of 10.9 °C (51.6 °F). Cold spells originating from Antarctica occur almost every year, and combined with the high wintertime humidity, conditions in winter may feel much cooler than the measured temperature. Most days peak reach 12 to 17 °C (54 to 63 °F) and drop to 3 to 8 °C (37 to 46 °F) at night. Southerly winds may keep temperatures below 10 °C (50 °F) for a few days, whereas northerly winds may bring temperatures above 20 °C (68 °F) for a few days; these variations are normal.<br />
<br />
Spring is very windy and variable: there may be heat waves with temperatures of 35 °C (95 °F) even in early October, as well as periods of much colder weather with highs close to 10 °C (50 °F). Frost has been recorded as late as early November, although this is unusual. Severe thunderstorms are likely between September and December.<br />
<br />
Rai receives 1,242.6 mm (49 in) of rainfall per year. Rain can be expected at any time of year and hailstorms are not unusual.<br />

==Politics and government==<br />
[[File:Seal of the Batu Party.png|thumb|left|200px|Seal and former logo of the [[Batu Party]], the sole existing state party in Rai.]]<br />
Rai is an [[absolute monarchy]] in which the [[Monarchy of Rai|Grand Duke]] holds the entirety of political and institutional power. The figure of the Grand Duke concentrates executive, legislative and judicial authority, which is exercised through Grand Ducal Decrees, the only type of legislation in the Grand Duchy. The constitutional document of the Grand Duchy is the [[Charter of Rai]], adopted in May 2020, which codifies the Grand Duke's powers and establishes the rules of succession for the Rai Crown.<ref name=mbirag/><br />
<br />
The Grand Duke may delegate some of their political power to a [[Seneschal of Rai|Seneschal]] to and aid in everyday governance; the Seneschal, in turn, appoints a number of ministers to the Cabinet of Rai, which collectively excercises the Grand Duke's authority. The current Seneschal is [[Austin Jaax]]. The Grand Duke may also allow the establishment of a ''[[Bok of Rai|bok]]'' ([[Sabian language|Sabian]] for "council"), or consultative assembly, to give advise and counsel in matters of governance, should the monarch see it fit or due to a growth in popular "demands". The Charter of Rai doesn't specify the method by which ''bok'' members are to be elected, though it does allow for the formation of state parties or local chapters of [[Political parties in Abelden|federal parties]]; at the moment the only existing political party in Rai is the [[Batu Party]]. The first and current Bok of Rai convened on 8 July 2020.<ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/CCZ2HkWA_F2/ "baraibarakurobokán aire raesenis"]. ''[[mbirág aliosin]]'' (in Sabian). 8 July 2020. Retrieved 8 July 2020.</ref><br />
<br />
The ruling dynasty is the [[House of Kârjasary|House of Karjasari]], a [[Valtirians|Valtirian]] lineage of [[Sabia and Verona|Sabioveronese]] [[Book of Electors|Electors]]. The reigning Grand Duke, [[Tarik of Sabia and Verona|Tarik Karjasari]], also reigns in Sabia and Verona as [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|King of the Valtirians]].<ref name=expand/> The Rai Crown is inherited through absolute primogeniture; the heir-presumptive of Rai is presently [[Kaj Kârjasary|Prince Kaj, Duke of Monesari]]. The [[House of Hasaraši]] (through all eligible descendants of Prince Ískandu Hasaraši) is also part of the Rai line of succession since 2019.<br />
<br />
==Culture==<br />
===State symbols===<br />
[[File:New Lviv flag.png|thumb|right|200px|Flag of the former Grand Duchy of New Lviv (2016–2017).]]<br />
According to the Charter of Rai, the state symbols of the Grand Duchy are to be established by Grand Ducal Decree. The Charter also describes the flag and coat of arms of Rai as the "foremost symbols of the Rai state". The current state symbols were adopted upon the accession of Grand Duke Tarik.<br />
<br />
The flag of Rai is a 2:3 vertical triband of [[w:Shades of blue|sky blue]], [[w:White|white]] and [[w:Shades of pink|baby pink]], with a stylized [[w:Crux|Southern Cross]] (''Crux'') in the upper part of the sky blue band. The blue in the flag represents the open sky above Batori and the Grand Duchy's relationship with [[Abelden]]; white and pink are the traditional colors of the [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|Valtirian Monarchy]] and are associated with the ruling [[House of Kârjasary|grand ducal house]]. The Southern Cross highlights Rai's position as the Empire's southernmost state, as the ''Crux'' constellation is only visible from the Southern Hemisphere. The former flag of the Grand Duchy of New Lviv (in use from 2016 to 2017) was a green field vertically crossed by a golden wave.<br />
<br />
The coat of arms of Rai is derived from the grand ducal flag; the blazon is described as ''per pale azure and rose, a pale argent, chief three vertically aligned sailing ships proper''. The sailing ships represent the settlers who travelled south from the [[Valtir Sector|Valtir]] during [[Haronos Plan|Haronos]]; the number three is associated with beauty and abundance in Valtirian tradition. The shield is crowned by the traditional crown of Abeldane grand dukes, and supported by three white deer.<br />
<br />
The state anthem of Rai is the 2020 hit pop single ''[[w:Physical (Dua Lipa song)|Physical]]'' by English singer [[w:Dua Lipa|Dua Lipa]], from her latest album, ''[[w:Future Nostalgia|Future Nostalgia]]''; it was adopted on 28 May 2020.<ref>[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_jLAWikSB_0oetTE45UJP6MVWsDJVQ3g/view "State Anthem Decree"]. 28 May 2020. Retrieved 9 June 2020.</ref> From 2017 to 2020 the state anthem was the 2017 hit pop single ''[[w:New Rules|New Rules]]'', also by Lipa. The Grand Duchy's state motto is ''"batuná senar bašúi"'', [[Sabian language|Sabian]] for "the Southern Wind is always loyal".<br />
<br />
===Languages===<br />
The sole official language of the Grand Duchy, as established in its Charter, is [[Sabian language|Sabian]] (''sabintái''). The Sabian language is a [[conlang]] developed and spoken in Sabia and Verona. Alongside [[Esmondia]] (an [[Austenasia]]n [[Austenasian Crown Dependency|crown dependency]]) Rai is the only polity outside Sabia and Verona to have adopted Sabian as an official language. However, in practice, the Grand Duchy uses [[w:English language|English]] as its everyday operative language as it is the ''lingua franca'' of the Abeldane Empire.<br />

The office is currently vacant, following the resignation of [[Austin Jaax]] on 2 January 2021. Jaax was appointed to the position on 6 March 2020 to replace [[Alex White|Karl Friedrich]].<br />
<br />
The office of the Seneschal is described in the [[Charter of Rai]], which states that "the Grand Duke of Rai may delegate Their grand ducal prerogative onto an individual, who must be a citizen of Rai, to oversee menial tasks of governance in the Grand Duke’s name". The Charter also states that the Seneschal's authority may never supersede or contradict that of the Grand Duke, as it is from the Grand Duke that this authority primordially stems.<ref>[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m6YIgWOm1ooxe3eZ6mFDAzVf9tNO_XQt/view Charter of Rai], Article 3, Section C.</ref><br />

The '''Kingdom of Sabia and Verona''' ([[Sabian language|Sabian]]: ''raiakurói sabiann i veronann'', <small>pronounced:</small> [[w:Help: IPA|[ˈdoɡä ˈsaːbjanː veɾɔˈnara]]]), simply known as '''Sabia and Verona''' ([[w:Help: IPA for English|/ˈsæbiə ən bɛrɒnə/]]; ''sabia i verona''), also referred to by the acronym '''SiV''', and known poetically as '''Valtiria''', is a [[Valtir Sector|Valtir sector]] micronation claiming sovereignty over territories in [[w:Venezuela|Western Venezuela]] and [[w:Argentina|Argentina]]. Sabia and Verona has a total population of 113 as of November 2015 and claims a territory of 0.047 kilometers square (km<sup>2</sup>). Since 2015, the nation's capital is the city of [[Alios]], which alongside the [[Gonn|Gonn Region]] comprises the Southern claims of the Kingdom in Argentina. <br />
<br />
The South American kingdom was founded as an overseas territory of the [[Kingdom of Juclandia]], another micronation based in [[w:Romania|Romania]]. The [[Alios Agreement]], signed in 2016, resulted in the complete independence of Sabia and Verona as a micronation from Juclandia. Sabia and Verona is still a full member state of the [[Federal Union of Juclandian Lands]], and the Kingdom maintains a close relationship with Jucărești. Both nations share a long history together and have many cultural traits in common, the most notable of which is the recognition of [[w:Stuffed toys|stuffed toys]] as citizens, and their active participation in the nation's society and politics. People from Sabia and Verona are known as [[Valtirians]].<br />
<br />
Sabia and Verona is a [[w:Parliamentary system|parliamentary democracy]] and [[w:Elective monarchy|elective]] [[w:Constitutional monarchy|constitutional monarchy]]. The executive nominally rests on the [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|Monarch]] (the head of state), officially styled as "King/Queen of the Valtirians" (''rai valtirgeninnán''). The head of government, by convention a stuffed toy, is the [[Prime Minister of Sabia and Verona|Prime Minister]]. The [[w:Unicameralism|unicameral]] [[Parliament of Sabia and Verona|Parliament]] (''atanói'') is the Kingdom's [[w:Legislature|legislature]], and the [[Supreme Court of Sabia and Verona|Supreme Court]], composed of three judges, is the head of the judiciary. Since 2015, [[Tarik of Sabia and Verona|Tarik of Kârjasary]] has been King, and [[Apollo Cerwyn]] of the [[Democratic Party (Sabia and Verona)|Democratic Party]] is the current Prime Minister. Elections are held on a yearly basis; the last parliamentary elections were held on [[Sabioveronese general election, 2020|24 May 2020]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
{{Main|History of Sabia and Verona}}<br />
===Background and formation===<br />
[[File:NBleuberrie.jpg|thumb|left|200px|[[Napoléon Bleuberrie]], who played a pivotal role in the early development of Sabia and Verona as a nation.]]<br />
The Kingdom of Sabia and Verona is the descendant of a long line of short-lived micronations established in the [[Valtir Sector]], known as the ''Garrshirian'' micronations for their common founder, [[Tarik of Sabia and Verona|Tarik Kârjasary]] (formerly known by the pseudonym ''Richard Garrshire''). The [[Cizlandeese Empire|Republic of Cizland]], the first Garrshirian micronation, was established in March 2011. The Republic soon became an absolute monarchy as the ''Cizlandeese Empire''. Vast instability, sockpuppeting and corruption often defined these ephemeral micronations. Some of the most known Garrshirian micronations were the [[Berinese Confederation]], the first of these states to become an active member of the MicroWiki community, the Archduchy of Montriac, a territory of the Kossian Empire that rose to prominence as one of the protagonists of the Kossian Civil War, and the [[Union of Artaghe]], one of the founders of the second Union of South American Micronations.<br />
<br />
Sabia and Verona surged as an idea after the separation of the Colony of Listva from the Empire of Würdigeland. Listva had succeeded the vastly inactive Principality of Artaghe, which was officially dissolved in August 2012, and it too met the fate of its predecessors when arguments between Kârjasary and Würtige emperor Arthur I broke connections between South Würdigestadt and the Valtir. Proposals of a new overseas territory of the [[Kingdom of Juclandia]] arose in October 2012, and ''Sabia and Verona'' became the new project's name. As Juclandia began preparations to install a territory, in the Valtir a systematic plan was organized to carry out censuses of plush toys, legislative arrangements, local elections and territorial divisions: the overseas territory known as Sabia and Verona was materializing. The first meeting of the [[Courts of Sabia and Verona]], the new regional parliament, was held on 18 October 2012. Its 20 members met in Saint Enric (the chosen capital of the region) to define the objectives of the new Sabioveronese state, debate on what the Sabioveronese identity would entail, and declare the emancipation of the Valtirian plush toys from their human oppressors.<br />
<br />
On 20 October 2012, Juclandian legislative bodies accepted Sabia and Verona as an overseas territory and the King passed the respective law approving so. The ''treteté'' flag was raised in the city of Alcabala and the Local Government declared 20 October to be a national holiday.<ref>[http://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2012/10/20/alcabala-sees-the-tricolour-flag-rising/ "Alcabala sees the tricolour flag rising"].

===The Socialist–Unity hegemony===<br />
[[File:Bleuberristpropaganda.png|200px|thumb|right|Bleuberrist propaganda for the [[Sabioveronese general election, May 2013|May 2013 election]].]] <br />
[[Napoléon Bleuberrie]] became the first leader of Sabia and Verona. At first, the Kingdom was intended to be modelled after [[w:North Korea|North Korea]], and [[w:Korean language|Korean]] was chosen as Sabia and Verona's national language. The [[Socialist Party (Sabia and Verona)|Socialist Party]], founded by Bleuberrie, led Sabioveronese politics in the predominantly left-leaning [[Courts of Sabia and Verona]], the Kingdom's new legislature. The opposition to Bleuberrie and his Socialist Party unified in November 2012 in the form of the [[Unity Party (Sabia and Verona)|Unity Party]], headed by Graham Müntz and [[Osez Kóvérsz]]. Political stability between these two factions was secured on 16 December 2012, when Müntz and Bleuberrie signed the Karasal Treaty, which effectively created the [[Commission for the Preservation of Democracy]],<ref name="languagereformandkarasaltreaty">[http://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2012/12/16/language-reform-karasal-treaty-and-ryamonishta/ "Language reform, Karasal Treaty and Ryəmoništa"]. ''[[The SiV Phonograph]]''. 16 December 2012. Retrieved 21 December 2016.</ref> which acted the Kingdom's judiciary. The Socialist Party's rule over Sabia and Verona ended at the [[Sabioveronese general election, 2012|2012 election]], when the Unity Party won by a landslide and Kóvérsz became [[Prime Minister of Sabia and Verona]]. As the nation drifted away from its initial inspiration on the DPRK, [[Sabian language]], a conlang designed for the region of [[Sabia]] became much more popular and in December 2012 it was chosen as the nation's sole official language as Korean failed to settle. This consolidated Sabian nationalism, as Sabians began to distance themselves from [[Verona|Veronans]], who were perceived as completely different individuals. The Unity Party embraced Sabian nationalism, which brought forth dissidence and opposition to the new Kóvérsz administration. The [[Free Suyu Front]] was founded by opponents of Bleuberrie and Müntz. The FSF acted as a clandestine group until its legalisation by the Courts in January 2013, when it became the country's third political party.<ref>[http://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2013/01/22/fsf-declared-official-party-schubert-moss-in-controversy/ "FSF declared official party; Schubert-Moss in controversy]".

[[File:Stefanovic2014.jpg|thumb|200px|left|[[Ann Stefanović]], 4th Prime Minister of Sabia and Verona.]] <br />
Three social phenomenons deeply impact the Sabioveronese society during this era: the revival of [[Pahunism]] with the enthronement of [[High Priest of the Pahun|High Priestess]] [[Saria Josephine|Senna Ashminasuunu]], the establishment of the neighbouring [[Lycem|Realm of Lycem]] to the north by Kârjasary, and the rise of Pashqari (Veronan) nationalism with groups like the [[Pashqari People's Party]].<ref name=tegof>[http://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2013/05/18/tegula-recognises-pashqar-language-pmm-celebrates/ "Tegula recognises Pashqar language, PMM celebrates"].

Retrieved 21 December 2016.</ref> As these factors diversified the Sabioveronese culture, Sabia and Verona became a [[w:Melting pot|melting pot]] with contrasting groups of people that would shape the Kingdom in a unique way.

<br />
Bleuberrie won the [[Sabioveronese general election, May 2013|May 2013 election]], though he would fail to complete his six-month term. On 25 July, 2013, Bleuberrie and a group of loyal [[Military of Sabia and Verona|SVRAF]] generals [[2013 Sabioveronese coup d'état attempt|attempted to overthrow the system]] and declare independence from [[Juclandia]],<ref name=coup>[http://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2013/07/25/failed-self-coup-attempt-the-end/ "Failed self-coup attempt: the end of Bleuberrie"].

Air Force General [[Rubén D. Hernández]] took over the nation as interim Prime Minister until elections were called again. This happened on [[Sabioveronese general election, September 2013|September 2013]], when former Unity Party [[Caenia]] politician [[Ann Stefanović]] and her newly founded [[Progressive Coalition (Sabia and Verona)|Progressive Coalition]] won by a landslide against Kóvérsz.<ref>[https://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2013/09/15/stefanovic-wins-the-race/ "Stefanović wins the race"].

Stefanović proved to be a decisive and effective leader, driving Sabia and Verona back into stability as the nation coped to restore from the aftermath of the July coup. The new Prime Minister successfully led Sabia and Verona through the February reforms in which the Kingdom went from being an overseas territory of Juclandia with limited autonomy to a nearly independent province of the [[Federal Union of Juclandian Lands]],<ref>[https://scanteiajc.wordpress.com/2014/02/01/all-good-things-must-come-to-an-end/ "All good things must come to an end"].

Stefanović concluded her term on 1 October 2014 and gave way to the leader of the newly founded [[Left Alliance]], [[Léon Galieri]].<ref name=sivfon>[http://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2014/03/20/left-alliance-wins/ "Left Alliance wins the election"]. ''[[The SiV Phonograph]]''. 20 March 2014. Retrieved 21 December 2016.</ref> The Left Alliance had been founded as a merger between the dying Socialist Party and the KMCW. Galieri's term was stable and calm; the political stability enjoyed during these six months allowed art and literature to flourish, and [[Valtirian mythology]] became a popular subject among Sabioveronese intellectuals as part of the cultural exchange with the recently annexed region of [[Lycem]]. <br />
<br />
At the [[Sabioveronese general election, September 2014|September 2014]], [[Unity Party (Sabia and Verona)|Unity]]'s [[Bertrand Rivière]] was elected as Prime Minister.<ref>[http://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2014/09/14/conservative-victory/ "Conservative victory: Rivière to become Enkâkourak"]. ''[[The SiV Phonograph]]''. 14 September 2014. Retrieved 21 December 2016.</ref> Rivière, described as an "agressive Sabian nationalist and fiscal conservative", made massive reforms in the Kingdom, aided by his mainly Sabian Legislative Courts. He renamed the upper and lower houses of the Courts, demoted the Pashqar and [[Lycene language|Lycene languages]] to "national languages", while describing Sabian as the only "official" language of Sabia and Verona, and "nationalized" the [[Church of the Pahun|Pahunist Church]], naming Queen Isadora the new [[High Priest of the Pahun|High Priestess of the Pahun]].<ref name=consabian>[https://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2014/10/01/dreaming-big/ "Dreaming big: The Aishayerovê and the beginning of a new era"]. ''[[The SiV Phonograph]]''. 1 October 2014. Retrieved 21 December 2016.</ref> A new peerage system was introduced, a move clearly opposed by the constitution but approved by the Courts nonetheless. Rivière also oversaw the territorial expansion of the Kingdom: Sabia and Verona's reclamation of the Sournêliádin Gardens and the Eastern Lands into the TANSUX, the Special Territory of the Eastern Lands, was one of the most popular moves of the Rivière administration.<br />
<br />
But Rivière's reforms couldn't derive attention from the predominant inactivity Sabia and Verona had submerged into. By mid-2015 the legislative power of Sabia and Verona was completely dormant, and the system Rivière had devised proved to be a failure in praxis. Since the judicial power in Sabia and Verona was directly dependent to the Legislative Courts, two of Sabia and Verona's three political powers had been frozen for months. In 12 July 2015 Rivière met with the Lt. Secretaries of the Sabioveronese prefectures and after obtaining approval from the Queen, effectively dissolved the Sabioveronese legislature. Although the move was not precisely constitutional, Rivière defended the decision by saying the 2014 constitution had not foreseen a scenario in which the legislature could render itself deedless. A popular referendum to elect a new leader in the nation was organized, and though the turnout was considerably low (at 64%), it was recognized as legitimate by the Crown. Rivière was elected to become High Commissioner of Sabia and Verona as an interim head of state. Rivière's cabinet became a transitional council in the meantime. Sabioveronese authorities called the act the "official fall into inactivity", admitting the problem had been a reality for months.<br />
<br />
===Modern era===<br />

As the economic and social situation in Venezuela worsened, Sabia and Verona suffered the side effects of being enclaved and almost entirely dependent on the South American country, and effectively led Sabioveronese politicians to devise the [[Haronos Plan]]. Haronos was presented as an initiative to allow Sabioveronese stuffed toys to emigrate to [[w:Argentina|Argentina]] to form a community outside the Valtir. Haronos consisted of two stages: Haronos I, which was executed between August 24 and August 25, and Haronos II, which would be executed between September and October. The division of the plan into two stages was due to the limited capacity of stuffed toys that could be transported in each travel. Over 20% of the Sabioveronese provincial population became part of ''Haronos'' I, as much as could be transported from the Valtir to Argentina in the direct flight.<ref>[http://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2015/08/14/the-eternal-laurels-the-peculiar-exodus-and-the-braganza-way/ "The eternal laurels, the peculiar Exodus and the Braganza way"]. ''[[The SiV Phonograph]]''. 14 August 2015. Retrieved 21 December 2016.</ref><br />
<br />
Fearing for the state in which the Kingdom would be left once the plan was executed, Rivière summoned the Sabioveronese people to the "Congress of Salisse". The congress was a public meeting of important political leaders of the region, many of which were involved in Haronos. Two main objectives were set for the congress: deciding what the fate of the Sabioveronese state would be and and writing a new constitution if needed. It was decided a new constitution would be written and it would be adopted in case ''Kapakoxouny'' was carried out. In the event of ''Jarâman'' being executed instead, some minor reforms to the 2014 constitution would be enacted instead. The new constitution, written from August 15 to August 20, was initially known as the "''Konstitutsios reporas''", the "Just-in-case Constitution". <br />
<br />
On August 17, during a visit to Salisse [[Isadora of Sabia and Verona|Queen Isadora]] signed an Instrument of Abdication (''Érianos Metavrosann'') which was to come into effect on 23 August 2015, on the 18 month anniversary of her reign. The Instrument was signed in face of the complications of having the ruling monarch live 4800 miles away from the country's administrative centre,<ref name="triceratops">[https://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2015/10/20/triangle-triceratops-trimester-trivia-three-years-of-sabia-and-verona/ "Triangle Triceratops Trimester Trivia: Three years of Sabia and Verona"].

On 25 August, Haronos I was executed, and as it had been foreseen, Kapakoxouky was carried out.<ref name="virnelection">[https://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2015/09/20/virny-and-the-guild-take-the-lead/ "Virny and the Guild take the lead"].

The [[National Artists' Guild]] was founded, and soon became the majority party in Alios and as such the main political party in Sabia and Verona due to the new constitution's concessions, after winning the [[Sabioveronese general election, 2015|2015 election]] in which DSN leader [[Shounn Virny]] won a majority government in the nation's new [[Parliament of Sabia and Verona|Parliament]].<ref name="virnelection"/><br />
<br />
Virny's premiership saw the development of the Sabioveronese economy, with the creation of the [[National Bank of Sabia and Verona|National Bank]] and the introduction of the [[Sabioveronese groxi|groxi]], the Kingdom's first stable currency. Another major development was the signing of the [[Alios Agreement]] in February 2016, which officially disestablished the [[Federal Juclandia|FUJL]] government and re-established the Federation as an economic and cultural union between Juclandia and Sabia and Verona. This represented the last step in Sabia and Verona's road to micronational independence, as the nation was now in charge of its own foreign affairs and internal administration.<ref name=rise2016>[https://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2016/02/28/risen-from-ruins-the-future-of-the-juclandian-community/ "Risen from ruins: the future of the Juclandian community"].

==Government and politics==<br />
{{Politics of SiV}}<br />
{{Main|Politics of Sabia and Verona}}<br />
Sabia and Verona is a [[w:Unitary system|unitary]], [[w:Parliamentary system|parliamentary democracy]] with an [[w:Elective monarchy|elective]], [[w:Popular monarchy|popular]], [[w:Constitutional monarchy|constitutional monarchy]] headed by the [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|King of the Valtirians]] ([[Sabian language|Sabian]]: ''rai valtirgeninnán''). The basic law of the Kingdom is the [[Constitution of Sabia and Verona|Constitution]], which holds precedence over all other laws. The current Constitution was adopted in 2017 by a [[Sabioveronese Constitutional Assembly|Constitutional Assembly]] following a [[Sabioveronese constitutional referendum, 2017|referendum]] held on 18 March 2017. The Constitution grants [[w:Executive power|executive power]] to the Monarch. However, most of the Monarch's powers are in practice delegated to the Government (''kuragi''), composed of a [[Prime Minister of Sabia and Verona|Prime Minister]] and a number of Secretaries (ministers). The Prime Minister forms the Government with consent of the [[Parliament of Sabia and Verona|Parliament]] (''atanói'') and governs through its accord.<br />
<br />
===Government===<br />
:''Main articles: [[Government of Sabia and Verona|Government]] and [[Parliament of Sabia and Verona]]''<br />
The Parliament of Sabia and Verona (''atanói'') is the [[w:Unicameralism|unicameral]] legislature of the Kingdom; it is responsible for adopting the state's budgets, approving the state's accounts, appointing and exercising control of the Government, and approving mutual recognition treaties. [[w:Bill (proposed law)|Bills]] may be initiated by the Government or by members of parliament. All bills passed must be presented before the King to Royal Assent in order to become law. <br />
<br />
[[File:ApolloCerwyn.jpg|thumb|200px|left|[[Apollo Cerwyn]], the current [[Prime Minister of Sabia and Verona|Prime Minister]] of Sabia and Verona.]]<br />
Sabia and Verona is a [[w:Parliamentary system|parliamentary democracy]]. Elections to the Parliament are held on a yearly basis, and seats are allocated using a [[w:Proportional representation|proportional representation]] system. It is within the powers of the Prime Minister to ask the Monarch to call for an election before the 1-year term has elapsed. On a [[w:Motion of no confidence|vote of no confidence]], the Parliament may force a single minister or the entire government to resign. Only citizens of the central regions of Sabia and Verona may vote and be candidates in parliamentary elections; citizens and residents of autonomous regions of the Kingdom are not represented in national politics. Historically, the Parliament has always had 20 seats, however, there is no set number of MPs in the Constitution. Electoral boundaries are prone to change between elections. <br />
<br />
As the executive branch, the Government is responsible for proposing bills and a budget, executing the laws, and guiding the foreign and internal policies of Sabia and Verona. The position of prime minister belongs to the person most likely to command the confidence of a majority in the Parliament; this is usually the leader of the largest [[List of political parties in Sabia and Verona|political party]] or, more effectively, through a [[w:Political alliance|coalition of parties]]. Sabia and Verona has often been ruled by [[w:Coalition government|coalition governments]], themselves sometimes [[w:Minority government|minority governments]] dependent on the confidence of [[w:Confidence and supply|useful]] opposition parties.<br />

Since [[Sabioveronese general election, 2019|2019]], [[Apollo Cerwyn]] of the [[Democratic Party (Sabia and Verona)|Democratic Party]] has been Prime Minister, leading the [[Cerwyn cabinet|12th government]], which holds a majority in Parliament. <br />
<br />
===Law and judicial system===<br />
[[File:LeonGalieri.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The Hon. [[Léon Galieri|Léon, Baron Jens-Galieri]], magistrate of the Supreme Court of Sabia and Verona.]]<br />
The [[Constitution of Sabia and Verona]] (''toagaki''), which stands as the supreme law of the Kingdom, sets the framework for Sabia and Verona's judicial system. The highest court of law in Sabia and Verona is the [[Supreme Court of Sabia and Verona|Supreme Court]] (''raitoanobók''), which also serves as the Kingdom's constitutional court. The Supreme Court is made up of three politically independent judges, chaired by a President, presently the Honorable [[Léon Galieri|Léon Jens-Galieri]]. Members of the Supreme Court are appointed by the [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|Monarch]] on the [[Prime Minister of Sabia and Verona|Prime Minister]]'s advice, and must be confirmed by Parliament.<br />
<br />
In addition to the Supreme Court, the Kingdom is divided into "judicial districts", which serve as jurisdiction for District Courts the basic judicial unit of Sabia and Verona. Between the District Courts and the Supreme Court stand the Courts of Appeal.<br />
<br />
===Foreign relations===<br />
{{Main|Foreign relations of Sabia and Verona}}<br />
As a result of the [[Alios Agreement]], signed in 2016, Sabia and Verona became responsible for its own foreign affairs. Foreign affairs are handled by the [[Diplomacy Division (Sabia and Verona)|Diplomacy Division]], which is considered one of the main divisions in the [[Government of Sabia and Verona|government cabinet]]. The Diplomacy Division was created by [[Shounn Virny]], who was Prime Minister from 2015 to 2017, after the introduction of the Alios Agreement into the Kingdom's politics. The [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|King]] often plays an important role in Sabia and Verona's external affairs, as he commonly acts as mediator and representative of the Kingdom abroad and before other micronational governments. <br />
<br />
Presently, Sabia and Verona has mutual recognition agreements with several micronations, and maintains informal relations with many others. Its closest ally is the [[Kingdom of Juclandia]], as both nations belong to the [[Federal Union of Juclandian Lands|FUJL]] and are in an economic union together. Sabia and Verona also keeps friendly relations with [[Austenasia]], as it's the only other micronation it has physical borders with, through the crown dependency of [[Esmondia]]. Esmondia is directly administered in the name of the Austenasian Crown by [[Tarik of Sabia and Verona|King Tarik]].<br />
<br />
Sabia and Verona was a full member of the [[Grand Unified Micronational]] from 2017 to 2019,<ref name=gum2>[https://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2017/04/17/gum-accepts-sabia-and-verona-as-full-member/ "GUM accepts Sabia and Verona as full member"]. ''[[The SiV Phonograph]]''. 17 April 2017. Retrieved 17 April 2017.</ref> and has been a member of the [[Konmalehth]] since 2017.<br />
<br />
===Military===<br />
{{Main|Military of Sabia and Verona}}<br />
Following an extensive reform in the military corps of the Kingdom in 2017, the Sabioveronese military has been organized into a single branch, the National Guard (''dogasennañán''). The Commander-in-Chief of the SVRAF is HPM [[Tarik of Sabia and Verona|Tarik]] as [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|Monarch of Sabia and Verona]], while the minister responsible for overseeing the National Guard's activities is the [[Defense Division (Sabia and Verona)|Secretary of Defense]] (presently Suipom Goyo). The National Guard is present in both the Northern and Southern territories, and there are military bases in [[Salisse]], [[Caenia]] and [[Alios]], as well as minor outposts in [[Bal]] and [[Kotavari]]. Throughout its history, the Sabioveronese military has been organized into a number of branches including the Land Army, the Royal Auror Corps, and the short-lived Navy and Air Force. <br />
<br />
Historically Sabia and Verona has been a peaceful state. There is no history of military conflict with external threats, and the only armed conflicts the Kingdom has seen within its own borders were the Three Kings' Revolt in 2012 and [[Napoléon Bleuberrie]]'s [[2013 Sabioveronese coup d'état attempt|failed self-coup attempt]] of 2013, both of which were easily appeased without bloodshed. Since then, Sabia and Verona has remained a peaceful entity, and the original militarism seen in the early days of the Bleuberrie regime has mostly faded into history.<br />
<br />
==Geography==<br />
[[File:Aerial Valtir.png|thumb|right|250px|Aerial view of the [[Valtir Sector|Valtir]], where most of Sabia and Verona's claims lay.]]<br />
Sabia and Verona's claimed land consists of two separate portions of land in [[w:South America|South America]], divided into the Northern Territories (''akudogakurekói'') and the Southern Territories (''batudogakurekói''). Originally, the Kingdom's claimed land consisted only of the Northern Territories, which are enclaved by the [[w:Libertador Municipality (Mérida)|Libertador Municipality]] in [[w:Venezuela|Venezuela]], in the heart of the Venezuelan [[w:Andes|Andes]]. Sitting on the valley of the [[w:Chama River (Venezuela)|Chama River]], the Northern Territories are composed of the regions of [[Sabia]], [[Verona]] and [[Lycem]]. In [[Sabian language|Sabian]], this sort geographical area is known as a ''tirenshin'', the heart or central part of a Valley. The particular area of the Chama River ''tirenshin'' in which Sabia and Verona was founded is nowadays known as the [[Valtir Sector|Valtir]], and it's the place where all of the former [[Valtir Sector|Garrshirian micronations]] were established, including Sabia and Verona, Lycem, [[Artaghe]] and the [[Berinese Confederation|First]] and Second Berinese empires. The Northern Territories comprise 0.072 km<sup>2</sup> of claimed and controlled land.<br />
<br />
The Southern Territories were established in 2015 as a result of the [[Haronos Plan]], which involved the creation of a Sabioveronese outpost completely enclaved by the [[w:Argentina|Argentine]] [[w:Buenos Aires|Autonomous City of Buenos Aires]] and promoted mass migration from the Valtir to the new settlement. The only administrative divisions in this territory are the region of [[Gonn]] and the [[Alios|City of Alios]], which is considered a "region-level municipality". Both of these administrative divisions are directly dependent on the central government.<ref name="division">[https://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2015/11/25/impossible-to-manage-alios-capital-region-to-split/ ""Impossible to manage": Alios-Capital region to split"]. ''[[The SiV Phonograph]]''. 25 November 2015. Retrieved 21 December 2016.</ref><br />
<br />
By constitutional convention, only the Southern Territories may actively participate in the Kingdom's politics. The central government and all of its dependent institutions are all elected from among the population of the Southern Territories and by the population of the Southern Territories. The regions in the Northern Territories, on the other hand, are much more autonomous than the regions in the south, and although they are still subjected to the Kingdom's law and government, they are considered "self-reliant parts of the Kingdom".<ref name="division"/><br />
<br />
===Climate===<br />
The Northern Territories have a tropical climate, but with cooler temperatures than other nearby locations thanks to its high altitude. Pollution has caused a considerable rise in the region's average temperatures in the past decades, with readings that vary between 19 [[w:Celsius|°C]] and 24 °C (75 °F), with an overall average of 22 °C (72 °F). Precipitation is heavy during the rainy season, from April to November, though the region does receive more sunshine than most places in the Northern Andes, since the Chama River valley is too narrow for [[w:Fog|fog]] to accumulate.<br />
<br />
{{Nt-siv climatebox}}<br />
<br />
The Southern Territories have a [[w:Humid subtropical climate|humid subtropical climate]] ([[w:Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Cfa''), with very humid summers and mild winters. The warmest month is January, with a daily average of 25.1 °C (77.2 °F). Most days see temperatures in the 28 to 31 °C (82 to 88 °F) with nights between 16 to 21 °C (61 to 70 °F). Heat waves from Brazil can push temperatures above 35 °C (95 °F), yet the territories are subject to cold fronts that bring short periods of pleasant weather and crisp nights. [[w:Relative humidity|Relative humidity]] is 64–70% in the summer, so the [[w:Heat index|heat index]] is higher than the true air temperature. Spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) are generally mild and volatile, with averages temperatures of around 17 °C (63 °F) and frequent thunderstorms, especially during the spring.<br />
<br />
Winters are temperate, though frost may be experienced from May to September. Relative humidity averages in the upper 70s%, which means the territory is subjected to moderate to heavy fogs during autumn and winter. July is the coolest month, with an average temperature of 10.9 °C (51.6 °F). Cold spells originating from Antarctica occur almost every year, and combined with the high wintertime humidity, conditions in winter may feel much cooler than the measured temperature. Most days peak reach 12 to 17 °C (54 to 63 °F) and drop to 3 to 8 °C (37 to 46 °F) at night. Southerly winds may keep temperatures below 10 °C (50 °F) for a few days, whereas northerly winds may bring temperatures above 20 °C (68 °F) for a few days; these variations are normal.<br />
<br />
Spring is very windy and variable: there may be heat waves with temperatures of 35 °C (95 °F) even in early October, as well as periods of much colder weather with highs close to 10 °C (50 °F). Frost has been recorded as late as early November, although this is unusual. Severe thunderstorms are likely between September and December.<br />
<br />
The territories receive 1,242.6 mm (49 in) of rainfall per year. Rain can be expected at any time of year and hailstorms are not unusual.<br />

===Flora and fauna===<br />
{{Double image|right|Ipomoea indica Elinore 2014.jpg|130|Roberto the Bat.jpg|130|[[w:Morning glory|Morning glory]] in [[Elinore]] (right) and [[w:Velvety free-tailed bat|velvety free-tailed bat]] (left) in [[Salisse]].}}<br />
The Northern Territories comprise a vast and [[w:Biodiversity|biodiverse]] area. The prefectures of [[Elinore]] and [[Bal]] (both in [[Sabia]]) are Sabia and Verona's main green areas, with the Elinore Prefecture housing over 90% of Sabia and Verona's flora. A study conducted by the University of Elinore Department of Botanical Studies in 2014 revealed that the most common plant species in the region are ''[[w:Arachis pintoi|Arachis pintoi]]'', a type of peanut locally known as "forage peanut", St. Augustine Grass (''[[w:St. Augustine Grass|Stenotaphrum secundatum]]'') and ''[[w:Ipomoea|Ipomoea]]'' vines.<br />
<br />
The fauna of the North is wide and rich. Most of the animal species in the Sabioveronese region are [[w:Insects|insects]] such as common spiders. Other common species include the [[w:Common House Gecko|common house gecko]] and the [[w:Dog|domestic dog]]. Among the bird species that pass through Sabia and Verona are common [[w:Passerine|passerines]] and [[w:Hummingbird|hummingbirds]]. Like with the flora, Elinore is the most animal-populated prefecture in Sabia and Verona, though there are several gecko settlements in Bal, particularly in the parishes of Nicoya, Saamark and Sainte-Claudette-Nord, as well as an aquarium in Vadenbourg. It is common to see butterflies in the [[Vaaitos]] prefecture of [[Lycem]], where they tend to form their cocoons.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, flora in the South is sparse and select. While there are some projects to expand the green areas in the city, such as the Alios Royal Gardens, most of the area remains deserted, despite being close to green areas (such as the [[Austenasia|Austenasian]] Crown Dependecy of [[Esmondia]]). Fauna in the Southern territories is also considerably less diverse than in the North, with only a couple of invertebrates having been recorded in the area.<br />
<br />
===Political geography===<br />
{{Main|Administrative divisions of Sabia and Verona}}<br />
Sabia and Verona is divided into two groups of claimed land: the Northern Territories and the Southern Territories. Both territories are divided into Regions (''akurekói''). The Northern Territoriers are composed of three regions: [[Sabia]], [[Verona]] and [[Lycem]], all surrounded by [[w:Venezuela|Venezuela]]. The Northern regions count with their own governments and a degree of autonomy from the central government; the [[Constitution of Sabia and Verona|constitution]] calls them "autonomous regions".<ref>[[Constitution of Sabia and Verona|Constitution of the Kingdom of Sabia and Verona]], article 42, section a.</ref> On the other hand, the Southern Territories are made up of the [[Alios|City of Alios]], capital of the Kingdom, and the region of [[Gonn]], which lay 4800 miles south of the Northern Territories, enclaved in the [[w:Buenos Aires|Autonomous City of Buenos Aires]] in [[w:Argentina|Argentina]]. Unlike the Northern regions, which count with are autonomous and self-sufficient, the Southern regions are dirctly administered by the central government, but also count with many political benefits. In practice, the "dependent regions", the constitutional term for the Southern Territories, dominate the nation's political landscape.<ref name=consart42c>[[Constitution of Sabia and Verona|Constitution of the Kingdom of Sabia and Verona]], article 42, section c.</ref> Only Sabioveronese citizens in dependent regions may vote in national elections and participate in the Kingdom's politics. Citizens in the Northern Territories may vote and participate in elections for their individual regions, but they lack official representation in the national [[Parliament of Sabia and Verona|parliament]]. <br />
<br />
The largest and most populous region is Sabia, which counts with 41 citizens (both provincial and federal) and 0.057 km<sup>2</sup> of claimed territory. The second most populous is Verona, which counts with a little over half of Sabia's population. The least populous region is Lycem, with only 8 provincial citizens registered as citizens. Population disparity has been a main concern of Sabioveronese governments since the inception of the Kingdom.<ref>[http://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2012/10/21/bleuberries-top-10-issues-to-solve/ "Bleuberrie's "top 10 issues to solve""]. ''[[The SiV Phonograph]]''. 21 October 2012. Retrieved 21 December 2016.</ref> The largest and most populous city is Alios, with a size comparable to the other regions at 0.031 km<sup>2</sup>.<br />
<br />
====Regions of Sabia and Verona====<br />
The four regions of Sabia and Verona are subdivided into eight Prefectures and three Dependencies, the latter of which which are directly administered by the regional government of the region they belong to. The City of Alios, though counting with the status of a region, counts with a single prefecture (that of Alios itself). A subdivision for prefectures, municipalities, existed from 2012 to 2017, and a further division level, the parishes, were in place for a short time from 2014 to 2015. They lacked any sort of particular governance, existing only for geolocation purposes.<br />

==Economy==<br />
[[File:SiV groxar.png|thumb|left|[[Sabioveronese groxi]] banknotes.]]<br />
In practice, Sabia and Verona has a [[w:Mixed economy|mixed economy]] in which most companies are [[w:State enterprise|run by the state]]. The Sabioveronese government owns most of the nation's enterprises and manages them as "4th-type bodies" (''4T gakinar''), institutions at the responsibility of the [[Government of Sabia and Verona|central government]]. Some private companies do exist in Sabia and Verona, such as the Starlynn & Co. Enterprises and its subsidiaries. However in most cases, these private enterprises are also closely related to the state, through the involvement of their owners in the Kingdom's government or by other means. With a score of 2.4 in 2015, Sabia and Verona is ranked as a micronation with a "serious potential for a basic economy" using the Economic Potential Index.<br />

The [[National Bank of Sabia and Verona|National Bank]] is the Kingdom's central and reserve bank. Plans to establish a Sabioveronese currency had been in place since early 2013.<ref name=development>[https://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2015/11/08/virny-economic-development/ "Virny: "Economic development is my goal""].

<br />
Sabia and Verona is heavily dependent on imports from its neighbouring nations, and "economic sovereignty" has been a topic of concern for Sabioveronese governments since early 2014.<ref name=development/> Trade of metals such as [[w:Aluminium|aluminium]] and [[w:Copper|copper]] and seeds and spices briefly took place between Sabia and Verona and [[Lycem]], shortly after the creation of the latter state and up until the annexation of Lycem into Sabia and Verona.<ref>[http://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2012/12/22/economy-rises-lycem-metals/ "Economy rises as Lycem exports copper and aluminium"].

==Culture==<br />
[[File:Cuernos del Diablo.jpg|thumb|right|220px|''Meghosiin Vaaitos'', a small monument in [[Elinore|Elinore Prefecture]]. It dates from the times of the [[Cizlandeese Empire|First Cizland]], when it was erected.]]<br />
The diverse culture of Sabia and Verona has been influenced by elements of many other cultures, most notably the customs and traditions of [[w:Venezuela|Venezuela]], which surrounds the micronation entirely. The nation could be considered a [[w:Melting pot|melting pot]] of contrasting cultural currents. The three original regions of Sabia and Verona, [[Sabia]], [[Verona]] and [[Lycem]], have counted with different cultural influences each. Modern Sabioveronese culture, as a whole has been greatly influenced by [[w:Spain|Spanish]] (particularly [[w:Catalan people|Catalan]], [[w:Basque people|Basque]] and [[w:Andalusian people|Andalusian]]) immigration to Venezuela, as well as artificially introduced elements of other cultures, such as the [[w:Culture of Iran|Persian culture]] in Verona and [[w:East Asia|Eastern Asian]] traditions in Lycem.<br />
<br />
===Plush toys===<br />
One important element, if not the most important, of Sabia and Verona's culture (and one shared by all of its regions alike) is the recognition of [[w:Stuffed toy|stuffed toys]] (plush toys, plushies, etc.) as citizens with rights and the ability to make conscious decisions on a personal and social level. These citizens, known as ''buni'' in [[Sabian language|Sabian]], are a major element of the day to day life in Sabia and Verona. There are currently around ten times more plush toys than humans (known as ''vali'') in Sabia and Verona.<br />
<br />
Formerly, the terms "provincial citizen" (in Middle Sabian, ''védalou'') and "federal citizen" (''fédelou'') were in place to differentiate between plush toys and humans in Sabia and Verona. These terms originated in the [[Federal Union of Juclandian Lands]], as it was the terminology employed by its legal code. It stemmed from the fact plush toys were only recognized at a provincial level, while human citizens enjoyed the status of a "federal" citizenship throughout the entire Federation. This system was abandoned when the [[Alios Agreement]] came into force. Today, ''védalou'' and ''fédelou'' are considered [[w:Politically incorrect|politically incorrect]] terms, with ''bun'' and ''valo'' being their "PC" counterparts, respectively. The use of the terms is intermittently recorded in modern-day [[Juclandia]].<br />
<br />
===Media===<br />
''[[The SiV Phonograph]]'' and ''[[mbirág aliosin]]'' are presently the Kingdom's only media outlets. The first, an online periodic site that delivers news from the region in [[w:English language|English]], was originally established in October 2012 shortly after the foundation of Sabia and Verona as the mouthpiece of the ruling [[Socialist Party (Sabia and Verona)|Socialist Party]], but was later bought by the Starlynn & Bennet group after the Socialist Party's dissolution in 2014.<ref>[https://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2018/10/13/blackhorses-cabinet-who-is-who-in-the-11th-government/ "Blackhorse’s cabinet: who is who in the 11th government"]. ''[[The SiV Phonograph]]''. 13 October 2018. Retrieved 17 May 2020.</ref> The chief editor and main contributor of the ''Phonograph'' is [[Tarik of Sabia and Verona|Tarik Karjasari]], now King of Sabia and Verona.<ref>[https://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/about/ "About"]. ''[[The SiV Phonograph]]''. Retrieved 17 May 2020.</ref> <br />
<br />
''[[mbirág aliosin]]'', also owned by Starlynn & Bennet, is an [[w:Instagram|Instagram]] account publishing Sabia and Verona-related news both in the [[Sabian language]] and English; it was founded in 2020 to promote and showcase the conlang abroad.<ref>[https://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2020/01/15/starlynn-bennet-to-launch-sabian-language-news-blog/ "Starlynn & Bennet to launch Sabian-language news blog"]. ''[[The SiV Phonograph]]''. 15 January 2020. Retrieved 17 May 2020.</ref> Formerly, ''Sourg ê Mourg'' (lit. "ink and paint"), the official newspaper of the [[National Artists' Guild]], also delivered news in the Sabian language (more specifically, in the now obsolete Middle Sabian that was discarted in the Great Language Reform of 2017). <br />
<br />
Locally, Venezuelan and Argentine media is usually read and/or seen. Though for some time Juclandian radio was broadcasted in [[Salisse]], the project to establish a full-time radio has since died out. The monthly economy and business magazine ''Businesstoy'' was issued up until June 2013.<br />
<br />
===Languages===<br />
[[File:Sivfedlangsep2014.png|thumb|200px|right|Languages spoken by the human population of Sabia and Verona in December 2015.<br>The outer ring shows '''native languages'''. 92% of the population spoke <span style="color: #1C86B6;"> '''Spanish'''</span> as their native language, while 8% spoke <span style="color: #E12727;"> '''English'''</span>.<br> People who spoke a '''second or third language''' (inner ring) made up 54% of the population;<br>71% spoke <span style="color: #E12727;"> '''English'''</span>, 43% spoke <span style="color: #42AD25;"> '''German'''</span>, 14% spoke <span style="color: #FFC000;"> '''Sabian'''</span> and 14% spoke <span style="color: #1C86B6;"> '''Spanish'''</span> as secondary languages.]]<br />
Both [[w:Venezuelan Spanish|Venezuelan Spanish]] and [[w:Rioplatense Spanish|Rioplatense Spanish]] are spoken natively in Sabia and Verona. Most of the plush toy population speaks either Spanish, [[Sabian language|Sabian]] or [[Lycene language|Lycene]]. Human citizens rarely speak these languages and prefer to use their native Spanish. The Government uses [[Sabian language|Sabian]] as the nation's official and national language, while Lycene is regarded as a national language and a part of the nation's cultural heritage. The Pahdur language of the [[Church of the Pahun]] is also commonly used for religious purposes, and the now extinct Pashqar language greatly influenced the culture of its native [[Verona]].<br />
<br />
The Sabian and Pashqar languages were developed in Sabia and Verona, while Lycene (also called Sabiolycene by some older sources) was developed in [[Lycem]]. Sabian, as its name indicates, was developed in the Sabian region, and it was first used by Sabian nationalist movements before being adopted by the socialist government of [[Napoléon Bleuberrie]]. It is the main language in cultural and political issues in Sabia and Verona. The government has historically introduced several programs proposing the use of the Sabian language in the day to day dialogue, starting with simple vocabulary in objects found in the daily life. The Pashqar language was formed as an ''a priori'' in Verona, which is also commonly known as Pashqaria. It was not as commonly seen as the Sabian language and it was only used by the small Pashqari community in Verona until it finally became extinct in 2015. The Lycene language is mostly used for cultural purposes in its place of origin of [[Lycem]], but many Lycene language-speakers inhabit [[Elinore]] and use it as their conversational tongue.<br />
<br />
The Sabian and Lycene languages, both related in their grammar (Lycene has its origins in Dozenal Sabian) use the [[w:Latin script|Latin script]], while Pashqar used an Arabic-based script with elements taken from the [[w:Persian alphabet|Persian alphabet]]. Archaic Sabiolycene was rendered in two writing systems based in [[w:Chinese characters|Chinese characters]] (hanzi). The one that commonly used and accepted as the "default" Archaic Sabiolycene script was the Lycene Chinese Syllabary (LCS; 朸权, ''Xixu''). The LCS is an abugida-like syllabary consisting of 845 characters. The other script is the ''Xinsuu'', which relies on ideograms. Unlike the LCS, ''Xinsuu'' does not use modern Chinese characters, but the ancient [[w:Chinese seal script|Chinese "seal script"]]. Though these scripts were used by the Archaic Sabiolycene language, they must not be confused with the Archaic Lycene script, a script dating back from [[Artaghe]] and commonly known as ''Miasaa Toobosu'' ("Ancient Script"). Miasaa Toobosu is commonly seen as one of Lycem's most important cultural assets and due to its employment by the [[Church of the Pahun]] and its Pahdur language it has gained popularity throughout all of Sabia and Verona.<br />
<br />
===Religion===<br />
The [[Constitution of Sabia and Verona]] guarantees freedom of religion, though the [[Church of the Pahun]] is the official state religion of the Kingdom and the [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|Monarchy]]. The Church is supported by the state, and Pahunist religious institutions are protected by the Constitution as well. Pahunists pays tribute to the [[High Priest of the Pahun]], by default also [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|Monarch of Sabia and Verona]] (currently King Tarik under the ''miikosehur'' of ''Haerpyer'').<br />
<br />
The second most practiced religion is [[w:Christianity|Christianity]], with the [[w:Catholicism|Catholic faith]] being the most popular among Sabioveronese Christians. A large percentage of the population is also [[w:Atheism|Atheist]] or [[w:Irreligion|Irreligious]]. There are also small communities of [[w:Judaism|Jewish]] adherents and followers of the [[w:Themes in A Song of Ice and Fire#Faith of the Seven|Faith of the Seven]].<br />
<br />
===National symbols===<br />
Sabia and Verona's national symbols are of great importance to its culture. The [[Flag of Sabia and Verona|Sabioveronese flag]], known as the ''treteté'', dates from the times of Nemkhav Berin and has been traditionally associated with the [[Valtir Sector]]. The seven-pointed green star originally represented the seven provinces of the [[Cizlandeese Empire]], but it has acquired meanings of its own with the time. It now stands as one of Sabia and Verona's most recognizable symbols. The royal [[Coat of arms of Sabia and Verona|coat of arms]] is chosen by the reigning monarch, and is not usually considered a "national symbol" due to its monarchical nature. The Kingdom's national tree is the "red milker" (''Euphorbia cotinifolia''), known for its red/burgundy leaves and the latex they contain, though technically ''E. cotinifolia'' is a shrub, not a tree. The national flower is the ''[[w:Ipomoea indica|Ipomoea indica]]'' flower, also known as morning glory or ''valsu'' in Sabian. Sabia and Verona's national symbols are protected by the [[Arts Division (Sabia and Verona)|Arts Division]] and the [[Constitution of Sabia and Verona|Constitution]].<br />
<br />
Each region of Sabia and Verona also has symbols of its own. The coat of arms of the Region of Sabia depicts a Lycene mermaid or ''rama'', called Nir, over a golden field. Nyr had formerly been used in Sabia and Verona's coat of arms, and a stylized rendition of the ''rama'' is depicted in the flag of Sabia as well. The emblem of Verona shows a green hand over a red field, representing the Pashqari people. The symbol of Lycem is that of the [[House of Kârjasary]], a green sun bearing the Eye of [[Darmo]].<br />

===Cuisine===<br />
[[File:Arepa.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Traditional Venezuelan ''arepa'', with ''perico'' and cheese.]]<br />
Sabia and Verona's cuisine is undoubtly a mix of different cultures, being influenced mostly by [[w:Venezuelan cuisine|Venezuelan dishes]]. It is characterized by the use of spices such as [[w:Black pepper|black pepper]] and [[w:Garlic powder|garlic powder]], and most Sabioveronese meals (especially Lycene ones) are strong in taste. [[w:Olive oil|Olive oil]] is commonly used for salads such as the ''ħešremái'', which consists of lettuce, strips of carrots, cheese, hard boiled eggs, [[w:Heart of palm|''dronasi'']], peanuts and occasionally raisins, coated by olive oil and [[w:Balsamic vinegar|balsamic vinegar]]. A common dish in the Sabian Region is the ''velaharoñ'', scrambled eggs with slices [[w:American cheese|American cheese]] and [[w:Jamón serrano|jamón serrano]], spiced with black pepper and prepared with olive oil.<br />
<br />
A common element of Sabioveronese cuisine is ''tenervu'', a type of [[w:Milk tea|milk tea]] with origins in Lycem. The original Lycene form of ''tenervu'' is drank throughout the Northern Territories, and some variants have been developed in the Southern Territories, such as the Sato ''tenervu'' (with honey) and the Divedrinari ''tenervu'' (with cinnamon). Banana milkshakes (''kvurumog'') are also common in all the Sabioveronese regions, with variations like ''hakvurumog'' (with kiwi) and ''arrukvurumog'' (with strawberries) becoming popular in recent times. The consumption of [[w:Mate (beverage)|mate]] (''mati'') and [[w:Tereré|tereré]] is widespread in the Southern Territories.<br />
<br />
===Literature===<br />
Sabioveronese literature can be categorized by langauge: Castillian (or Spanish) Sabioveronese literature, Sabian literature, Lycene literature and formerly Pashqar literature. Literature in Sabia and Verona started to bloom in 2013, when it became popular to write poems in any of the Kingdom's conlangs. Since the Region of Lycem became part of Sabia and Verona works in the Lycene language have been published as well.<br />
<br />
Common examples of Castillian Sabioveronese literature include the play ''La Súper-Increíble Historia de los Héroes poco convencionales y los Siete Cubos de Azúcar Diamante en Verdelandia'' (The Super-Amazing Story of the Unconventional Heroes and the Seven Diamond Sugarcubes in Verdiland), co-written by Tarik Karjasari and [[Saria Josephine]]. Commonly known as ''Los Siete Cubos'', the play is usually performed on Christmas and has been popularized by the usual participation of award-winning actress Florenia Boovuzela. [[House of Hasaraši|Ískandu Hasaraši]] is another revered author in Castillian Sabioveronese poetry. <br />
<br />
Lycene literature is commonly based around the diverse styles of poetry that have been developed in the age of the Freehold, such as the ''hiidram'' (lit. "songbird") and its numerous variants. [[Valtirian mythology|Mythology]] is a recurrent topic in ''hiidram'' poetry.<br />
<br />
===Visual arts===<br />
[[File:AghamiinReeghas.png|thumb|left|200px|''Aidargho Aghamiin Reeghas'' (The Great Bear, King of the Night), ''suumuu'' ink painting. The ''Suumuu'' current is an example of the fusion of styles and trends that has taken place since the beginning of the aquatic era.]]<br />
The Valtir has a long-standing tradition of favouring aesthetics over other cultural aspects. The Sabioveronese design firm [[RA&V Artworks|RA&V]], which originated in the golden age of [[Artaghe]], is a respected firm in the [[MicroWiki Sector]] and has often been commissioned by other micronational governments. Painting and calligraphy, particularly, are a characteristic trait of the culture of [[Lycem]], where these arts have prospered both before and after its annexation to Sabia and Verona. <br />
<br />
The earliest styles of Lycene painting date from the late copper state and the early gold State of the metallic era (the period before the annexation of Lycem). The steel state saw the popularization of the ''tencoxu'' (lit. "golden line") current, which became known intermicronationally by its use in royal portraits and images of [[Valtirian mythology|Valtirian mythological creatures]]. As its name indicates its most notable feature are the golden lines bordering the images in the pictures. Other styles of this state include the ''niscoxu'' (lit. "no lines") and the ''aimuu'' (lit. "grand painting"). These currents survived well into the aquatic era and have since then bonded with other painting styles to form new trends in Lycene painting. In this sense, the arrival of the aquatic era has represented syncretization and modernization in Lycene art, which has now become symbolic of all of Sabia and Verona.<br />
<br />
Sabioveronese [[List of films by micronation|films]] have also been produced over the years; the most prolific filmmaker in Sabia and Verona is [[Pomme-Gabrielle Gauvier]], who is widely known for his 2013 short film ''Amor de Octubre'' and his 2016 autobiographic short film ''[[Proun]]''.<ref>[https://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2013/09/24/disappointed-gauvier-on-ashar-af-qafer/ "“Disappointed”: Gauvier on “Ashar af qafër”"]. ''[[The SiV Phonograph]]''. 24 September 2013. Retrieved 17 May 2020.</ref><br />
<br />
===Naming conventions===<br />
[[Sabia|Sabian]] naming conventions are generally the rule in Sabia and Verona. Sabian names mostly derived from conventional Western naming traditions, and are usually composed of one or two given names, a last name and a matronymic. Though traditionally, Sabians preferred to adopt names and surnames of [[w:English language|English]], [[w:Spanish language|Spanish]], [[w:Italian language|Italian]] and [[w:French langauge|French]] origins (many of which are still in use, such as Blackhorse, Bleuberrie, Lockhart, Galieri, Rossini, Quintero, among others), it's become increasingly popular in Alios to adopt [[Sabian language]] names. Prominent or common surnames of Sabian origin in Alios include [[House of Kârjasary|Kârjasary]], Virny, Noajasê, Gouraesy and Soriony. <br />
<br />
Another prominent feature of Sabian names are [[w:Matronymic|matronymics]], which are always Sabian and are a legal requirement in three regions (Sabia, Gonn and the City of Alios) regardless of the origins of the rest of the name. Sabian matronymics are composed of the first two or three syllables of the mother's name plus the suffix -''vái'', meaning "child". For example, ''Urru Sanħaso'''s children would bear the matronymic ''Urruvái''. Matronymics are always placed at the end of the given name (before the last name) and are rarely used outside very formal or legal contexts. In many occasions, instead of the mother's name, another word is chosen instead. These are known as "false matronymics", and are often actually [[w:Toponymic surnames|toponyms]] or names based on personal preferences or beliefs. For example, the chosen matronymic of politician [[Napoléon Bleuberrie]] is ''Maravái'', as he is originally from the city of [[w:Maracaibo|Maracaibo]]. His full name is thus ''Napoléon de Hélène Maravái Bleuberrie'', in which ''Napoléon de Hélène'' is the given name, ''Bleuberrie'' is the surname and ''Maravái'' is the matronymic. Additionally, sometimes matronymics can be chosen in agreement by couples to show compromise: politicians [[Léon Galieri|Léon Jens-Galieri]] and [[Snø Jens|Snø Jens-Galieri]] both bear the matronymic Ašuvái, from ''ašu'', "love".<br />
<br />
===Holidays===<br />
Sabia and Verona counts with a varied range of holidays, festivals and celebrations. Most Sabioveronese holidays are of either Pashqar or Lycene origin, but many [[Church of the Pahun|Pahunist]] celebrations may be observed by followers of the Pahun. In December 2015, the [[Parliament of Sabia and Verona|Parliament]] passed a law which stated there had to be at least one holiday per month, excluding the full moon festivals, which prompted the creation of at least seven new holidays.<ref>[https://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2015/12/16/parliament-approves-the-creation-of-new-holidays/ "Parliament approves the creation of new holidays"]. ''[[The SiV Phonograph]]''. 16 December 2015. Retrieved 21 December 2016.</ref><br />

'''Tarik Karjasari, Duke of Evra'''<ref group="n">''Kârjasary'', the pre-reform spelling of the Modern Sabian ''Karjasari'', is also commonly used, especially by foreign sources.</ref> <small>[[Order of the Baphomet|IOB]] [[Order of the Needle|AV]] [[Order of the Hummingbird|RS]]</small> ([[Sabian language|Sabian]]: ''tarik kodavái karjasari''; [[w:Help:IPA|/kḁɾʝaˈsaːɾi/]] born 17 August 1999), sometimes known as '''Ricky''' is the [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|king]] of [[Sabia and Verona]]. One of the nation's founding fathers, he served two non-consecutive terms as its [[Governor of Sabia and Verona|Governor]] before being crowned King of the Valtirians on 23 August 2015, succeeding [[Isadora of Sabia and Verona|Queen Isadora]]. He is also a citizen of [[Abeldane Empire|Abelden]]; Kârjasary is the [[Monarchy of Rai|Grand Duke]] of [[Grand Duchy of Rai|Rai]], a federal state of Abelden. Additionally, Kârjasary is Chief Editor of ''[[The SiV Phonograph]]'' and ''[[L'Sydunche]]''. For a brief time from January to April 2019, Kârjasary was the [[Vorsitzender]] (head of government) of Abelden.<br />
<br />
Since early 2011, Kârjasary has been the head of state of many micronational states, most of which were fouded or co-founded by him. These micronations became known in the MicroWiki community for their short periods of existence, and received the name of "[[Valtir Sector|''Garrshirian'' micronations]]", for Kârjasary's former micronational name, Richard Garrshire. Since the establishment of Sabia and Verona in 2012, the Garrshirian sector (nowadays also known as the ''Valtir'' Sector) has achieved relative stability.<ref name="bisexual">Karjasari, Tarik (20 October 2014).

<br />
==Early micronationalism==<br />
{{Main|Valtir Sector}}<br />
Kârjasary first became involved in micronationalism in 2011 with the foundation of the [[Cizland|Republic of Cizland]]. Though holding the office of Foreign Minister, he acted as the short-lived micronation's leader until its dissolution only a few weeks after its creation. After this, Cizland was succeeded by a series of ephemeral micronations, all claiming territory in what is now known as the [[Valtir Sector]]. Most of these Valtirian states had elements of geofiction and sockpuppeting. In June 2011 the [[Berinese Confederation]] was established; Berin was the first of Kârjasary's states to become an active part of the MicroWiki community, and the first of the sector's micronations to be free of sockpuppeting. However like its predecesors it wasn't long until it dissolved into minor states: the Republic of Berin was founded in September 2011. <br />
<br />
Many other micronations followed, some of the most prominent being the [[Artaghe|Union of Artaghe]], the State of Dakrit, which became the base for the modern [[Church of the Pahun]] and Montriac, which became prominent for its involvement in the Kossian Civil War. In past occasions Karjasari has referred to the Union of Artaghe as the "golden age" of the Garrshirian sector.<ref name="retrospective">Karjasari, Tarik (25 December 2012).

<br />
==Sabia and Verona==<br />
{{Main|History of Sabia and Verona}}<br />
===Early Sabia and Verona===<br />
[[File:Isadora Regina.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Portrait of [[Isadora of Sabia and Verona|Isadora of Annenak]] painted by Tarik, 2014.]]<br />
In later October 2012 the Valtir Sector had just seen the dissolution of yet another of its states, Listva, a colony of the Würtige Empire. This time Karjasari turned his attention to [[Juclandia]]. After holding talks with [[Ciprian of Juclandia|King Ciprian]] the Kingdom of Sabia and Verona was established: an overseas territory of the Romanian micronation in the Valtir. From the foundation of Sabia and Verona and the first meeting of its [[Courts of Sabia and Verona|Legislative Courts]] on 18 October 2012, Karjasari oversaw Sabia and Verona as [[Governor of Sabia and Verona|Governor]] of the newly founded nation. As Governor, he acted as the Sabioveronese representative of the King of Juclandia. At first, Karjasari was linked to the [[Socialist Party (Sabia and Verona)|Socialist Party]], the nation's largest political organization led by [[Prime Minister of Sabia and Verona|Prime Minister]] [[Napoléon Bleuberrie]], but with the new laws that came with the Karasal Treaty of December 2012 he saw himself forced to abandon his affiliation to the party. <br />
<br />
His first term as Governor concluded on 20 April 2013, and he was succeded by [[Isadora of Sabia and Verona|Isadora Annenak]] who was accepted by King Ciprian on Karjasari's recommendation. After stepping down as Governor, he founded the [[Strawberry Party]] a satire, pacifist political alliance that assumed a minor role in Sabioveronese politics.<ref name=annenak>Karjasari, Tarik (24 April 2013). [https://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2013/04/24/annenak-lycem-and-elections/ Editorial: Annenak, Lycem and the upcoming elections]. ''[[The SiV Phonograph]]''. Retrieved 18 December 2019.</ref> The party participated in the [[Sabioveronese general election, May 2013|May 2013 general elections]] with [[Ryam Piper]] as its candidate. Soon after the general election, Karjasari along with other Strawberry Party members got involved with the leadership of the [[Free Suyu Front]] (FSF). FSF leader Hidram Cerwyn originally proposed the idea of merging the XAM and the FSF into one larger political party. This proposal was voted in a dual party congress held on June 10, 2013. That day, the XAM and the FSF were officially merged into the [[Roots Party]]. This party grew to become the second largest political party in Sabia and Verona, thanks to the success of the union of the two original associations. However Kârjasary left the party after the merger. <br />
<br />
On 20 October 2013 Kârjasary was re-elected by the Kign Ciprian as Sabia and Verona's governor for a second six-month term. In February 2014 he became the Governor to a new Monarch of Sabia and Verona, [[Isadora of Sabia and Verona|Isadora of Annenak]], who would become the first ''Queen of the Valtirians''. Alongside [[Aina Oehler]], he was one of the witnesses of the new Queen's coronation on 27 April 2014. In October 2014, near the end of his second term as Governor, Karjasari was created Duke of Evra following the introduction of the Sabioveronese peerage. After stepping down, he was succeeded by the [[Governor of Sabia and Verona|Deputy Governor]], [[Joseph Kennedy|Joseph Emmanuel, Marquis of Saamark]], who became interum Governor. [[Saria Josephine]] would eventually assume the position. Following the end of his tenure, he assumed a more passive role in Sabioveronese politics, becoming Queen Isadora's political advisor and intermediary between the Queen and [[Salisse]]. Even then, he continued to represent Sabia and Verona in foreign contexts, though the Federation's isolation from the intermicronational sphere made these occasions rare.<br />
<br />
===Reign as King===<br />

In early August 2015 he became a pivotal member of the [[Haronos Plan]]. The plan proposed establishing a Sabioveronese outpost outside Venezuela, as the economic, social and political situation in the macronation became more unpredictable.<ref name="exodus">Karjasari, Tarik (14 August 2015).

''[[The SiV Phonograph]]''. Retrieved 21 December 2016.</ref> On 17 August 2015, Queen Isadora stepped down as it became evident the Sabioveronese new claims in [[w:Argentina|Argentina]] (the chosen destination of Haronos) would become the Kingdom's new administrative center. The provisions of the [[Sabia and Verona#Haronos and the Tarekian era|Congress of Salisse]], held the day before, filtered the candidates listed on the [[Book of Electors]] to two possible options for the Royal Election: Karjasari and his younger brother [[Kaj Kârjasary|Kaj]], at the time 8 years of age. Deemed unfit to rule, Kaj was taken out of the pool of electors and thus Tarik's claim became uncontested. On 23 August 2015, the day Isadora's abdication came into effect, he was declared the new King of the Valtirians.<br />
<br />
He was crowned in Salisse the day of his proclamation as the nation's new monarch. Two days later, now bearing the title of King of the Valtirians, he commanded the first state of the Haronos Plan and on 25 August 2015 he became one of the founders of the [[Alios|City of Alios]] in [[w:Argentina|Argentina]], which became the Kingdom's new capital. From this new capital city he oversaw the adoption of a new [[Constitution of Sabia and Verona]], and thus became the new head of the federal citizenship as the position of [[Governor of Sabia and Verona|Governor]] was abolished.<br />
<br />
Tarik's early reign saw the implementation of a new economic policy led by [[Prime Minister of Sabia and Verona|Prime Minister]] [[Shounn Virny]] that saw the internal growth of the national economy, aided by the creation of the [[National Bank of Sabia and Verona]] and the adoption of the [[Sabioveronese groxi|groxi]] as the Kingdom's currency. In late February 2016, Tarik signed the [[Alios Agreement]] with [[Ciprian of Juclandia]], officially disbanding the [[Federal Union of Juclandian Lands]] government and re-establishing the Federation as an intermicronational economic and cultural union, officially securing the Sabioveronese independence from Jucaresti.<ref>Karjasari, Tarik (28 February 2017).

<br />
On 24 February 2017, Tarik surpassed Isadora as the longest-reigning monarch of Sabia and Verona and longest-serving head of state of any Valtirian sector micronation. In March 2017, Tarik released two royal decrees, one dissolving the [[Order of the Steel Ring]], and another modifying the royal titles.<ref>Karjasari, Tarik (1 March 2017).

<br />
Throughout 2018 and 2019, Tarik extensively reworked the Book of Electors, removing lineages that were no longer related to Sabia and Verona and adding new lineages with potential successors to the Valtirian throne. The [[House of Hasaraši|Hasaraši lineage]], to which Tarik himself belongs through his father Ískandu, saw the addition of four of its members to the Book. In December 2019 Tarik granted the title of "prince" (''ravái'') to a non-royal individual for the first time in Sabia and Verona's history, granting the honorary title to Ima Bašo, [[Peerage of Sabia and Verona|Duke of Ixuħreti]].<ref name=prince>[https://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2019/12/17/king-names-first-ever-non-royal-prince/ "King names first-ever non-royal prince"].

[[File:Flag of Rai Abelden.png|thumb|left|250px|Flag of the Grand Duchy of [[Rai]], the [[States of Abelden|federal state]] of Abelden ruled by Tarik.]]<br />
Since 2017, Karjasari has been involved in [[Abeldane Empire|Abeldane]] politics. He was first appointed in June 2017 as member of the [[Reichsversammlung]] for the [[Labour Party of Abelden|Labour Party]]. On 30 June, he was granted the title of [[Monarchy of Rai|Grand Duke]] of [[Rai]], becoming one of the Empire's federal monarchs. Karjasari was one of the proponents of the merger between Labour and the Social Ecology Party (SEPA), what would become [[Abeldane Social Ecology]] (ASE). He would later become part of the Abeldane government as [[Attorney General of Abelden|Attorney General]] in the [[Fourth Renwick Ministry|fourth Renwick ministry]]. In August 2017 he was appointed Head of the Reichswahlkommission, the Empire's electoral commission, and was one of the authors of the Electoral Systems Act 2017, which implemented the [[w:Single transferable vote|single transferable vote]] (STV) sytem in Abeldane federal elections.<ref>Langford, Artemis.

Domestically, Karjasari is officially addressed as "His Plushen Majesty", though the equally reverent [[Sabian language|Sabian]] ''barbunolann'' is commonly used, and the shorter form "''olann''" is also accepted in less formal contexts. Though officially, he may be called "Tarik of Karjasari" (''tarik karjasaro''), the common use of his civil name is more usual and expected in informal situations. In the [[Church of the Pahun]] he is either known as ''Haerpyer Ashkuusinu'' (during his first rule) or simply ''Haerpyer'' (currently, for his second rule), but these names are rarely used outside the religious institution. <br />
<br />
In addition to his royal title, to which he was elected, he also holds the [[Peerage of Sabia and Verona|peerage title]] of ''Duke of Evra'', which (unlike the Valtirian crown) is hereditary; the heir-presumptive of this title is Tarik's younger brother, the [[Kaj Kârjasary|Duke of Monesari]].<br />
<br />
King Tarik has held the titles:<br />
<br />
*''His Grace'', King of Lycem, etc; 29 December 2012 – 23 February 2014<br />
*''The Honorable'', Lord Elector of the Kingdom; 23 February 2014 – 1 October 2014<br />
*''His Grace'', the Duke of Evra; 1 October 2014 – ''present''.<br />
*''His Plushen Majesty'', the King of the Valtirians, etc; 23 August 2015 – ''present''<br />
**In the [[Church of the Pahun]]: ''His Holiness'', the [[High Priest of the Pahun]]<br />
<br />
His full royal title is as follows:<br />
<br />
*''His Plushen Majesty'', By the Will of his People, King of the Valtirians, [[High Priest of the Pahun|Defender of the Avendrá]], Voice of the Plushies, Duke of Evra, Maestre of the [[Order of the Baphomet|Imperial Order of the Baphomet]] and the [[Order of the Needle]], Senior Marshal of the [[Order of the Hummingbird]].<br />
<br />
Which is in [[Sabian language|Sabian]]:<br />
*barbunolann, ''sunideroti geninnán, rai valtirgeninnán, senna avendrannán, tai bunarinn, aibarág evrañ, aiakrí airraidaibokinnán babametoná, aiakrí aidaibokinnán varagonnán, aegroakrí daibokinnán sanaħasonnán.''<br />

Not a lot of info, no pictures other than flags, and the lack of references.<br />
*'''SUPPORT''' For good articles you do not only look for articles that meet the expected criteria for an article of its category—i.e. the necessary images, expansive and well-written information, citations—a good article should encompass above average material which defies expectations; while information/length is not an issue for this article, as neither is references, and it is of historical importance, there is nothing exceptionally amazing about the article. In fact, it would be improved with at least one physical image, and the text could nevertheless be expanded a bit and do with some refreshing for grammar and spelling, such as the unnecessary bold text for its flags.

I believe the article fulfills all the required criteira. It is well-written (specialy if one takes into account that the micronation isn't natively English-speaker), it speaks coherently and reasonably in all of the micronation's facts and matters without going into unnecessarily detailed mega-texts, it provides a fair amount of sources, quality images providing detailed descriptions with no false/simulationist claims, it does not magnifies the micronation, it is honest on its position, and its structure follows the Wikipedia countries' articles' pattern. [[User:Grand Duke Arthur|Arthur Brum]] ([[User talk:Grand Duke Arthur|talk]]) 19:59, 1 January 2021 (UTC)<br />
*'''SUPPORT''' Ebenthal's article is one of the most elaborate on entire MicroWiki, especially considering that it's from a relatively recent micronation. Without wishing to dwell on Ebenthal's regional importance as a micronation of preponderance, the work done to create a first-rate article has been achieved a long time ago, surpassing several articles accepted as good and which, due to elegance, should not be mentioned. However, once the quality threshold has been established, it's undisputed that this article far exceeds expectations and that failure to recognize its quality is more a political or xenophobic statement than a sincere opposition for some failure in it. This article has already been submitted for consideration and has been rejected; fair or not, the author dedicated himself to perfecting the article and now, there is little to criticize negatively, being more than apt to receive qualification, but being truly worthy of being placed in a differentiated rank, being an example for articles to be written in the future.

*'''SUPPORT''' Yes! I think this article is honestly amazing and provides a lot of information useful to any micronationalist. It's fairly a "new" micronation but it's got a good-looking article and I believe it's worthy of GA status. Not to go off topic, but I was really disappointed to see it get revoked the first time, especially when someone used "MW@D Discrimination" and claimed it to be biased, when it is just in the Elarian culture that unfortunately it is believed they are discriminated against. And that person who said it was biased... was a moderator! Really? Proving the point of that sentence right there. But now that I'm done with my little rant, I really do think that this article is worthy of the GA status especially with more informational changes with the map and such on the infobox. [[User:Anthony Ramirez 3rd]] 3:12PM, 3 January 2021 (CDT)<br />
*'''OPPOSE''' Sections are rather stubby and some parts are worded rather badly. The Civil War section embodies these problems whilst also making absolutely no sense to the reader without context. Some dates utilise an incorrect date format and the article seems rather biased (and again make no sense) in sections . There are also a few spelling and grammar mistakes sprinkled throughout the article whilst some parts are written in both past and present tense AND first and third person. Some sections go into far too much detail and are quite messy such as the foreign affairs section - instead of having a defined section for recognition, organisations, foreign relations, ect. these groups are needlessly clumped together.<small><span style="white-space:nowrap;border:#000000 solid 2px;background:#d7cdfe;border-radius:6px;color:#000000">[[File:Empire of Aenopia flag.png|25px|link=Empire of Aenopia]]<span style="white-space:nowrap;border:#000000 solid 2px;background:#000000;border-radius:8px;color:#0000ff"><span style="background:#d2fac0;border:#000000 solid 2px;border-left:0px;border-right:0px;border-radius:8px;">&nbsp;[[User:Aenopia|<span style="color:#000000;">'''Logan (Aenopia)'''</span>]]&nbsp;</span></span><span style="font-family:comicsans;">&nbsp;[[User talk:Aenopia|<span style="color:#000000;">Terry Tibbs talk to me</span>]]&nbsp;<span style="color:#000000;">•</span>&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/Aenopia|<span style="color:#000000;">Look at what I've done.</span>]]&nbsp;</span>[[File:Empire of Aenopia flag.png|25px|link=Empire of Aenopia]]</span></small> 22:27, 3 January 2021 (UTC)<br />
*'''OPPOSE''' Article is stubby in certain sections like Ela'r'oech after Charles and MW manual of style is not followed so it is a no from me. it doesn't even have a government section like a MW about a nation should.[[User:Isaiah Burdette|<span style="color:red; text-shadow:blue 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em;"> Isaiah </span>]][[User talk:Isaiah Burdette|<span style="color:purple; text-shadow:blue 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em;">''(Chat)''</span>]]<br />
*'''COMMENT''' May I be informed as to which sections you believe are stubby? As said If you oppose giving Ela'r'oech the GA status please inform me of what I can do to amend this especially regarding bias. I am currently editing the article still as I was during the last time the article was submitted to hopefully amend anything I notice myself and add details.([[User:Ela'r'oech_Charles|Ela'r'oech Charles]])<br />
*'''COMMENT''' Thanks for the info. Will update to amend. Please check it afterwards and perhaps consider changing your position.([[User:Ela'r'oech_Charles|Ela'r'oech Charles]])<br />
*'''OPPOSE''' Much improved since last nomination, good prose, well-written in most parts and perfect images, though some sections are rather confusing, such as "It was founded accidentally by Charles Madgett in 2018, then in 2019 he made another nation which went defunct for a while until 2020, when on 15 August, it was purposefully established", which should explain more on how it was accidentally and later purposefully founded. Some subsections of its history are short, and I would remove the ones under "Pre-Ela'r'oech" - I would also move Locations and Climate into its own section titled "Geography". I agree with [[User:Aenopia|Logan (Aenopia)]] on the foreign affairs section. Furthermore, all date formats should be dd/mm/yyyy, so not September 16, 2020 or 16th of September 2020, but rather "16 September 2020". Also contains mild spelling mistakes or sentences that can be better worded.

<br />
The '''Imperial Order of the Baphomet''' (in [[Sabian language|Sabian]]: ''airraidaibók babametoná''; initials '''IOB''') is [[Sabia and Verona]]'s highest civilian [[w:Order (decoration)|order of honor]]. Named after the [[w:Baphomet|Baphomet]], it was first established by [[Tarik of Sabia and Verona|Tarik Kârjasary]] as Emperor of the [[Empire of Berin|Second Berinese Empire]]. After the fall of the Empire, it was forgotten for some time until the government of the [[Artaghe]] revived it, only to fall inactive once again with the disestablishment of Artaghe. It was revived a second time by the Sabioveronese government under [[Napoléon Bleuberrie]] in 2013. <br />
<br />
The Order has been awarded by six different heads of state belonging to different goverments, as a result of the instability of the [[Valtir Sector]]. The order may be conferred posthumously, though so far no cases of posthumous awards have been seen. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Order was created by an Imperial Decree of [[Tarik of Sabia and Verona|Tarik Kârjasary]] as Emperor of Berin on 20 April 2012. The Order became the largest institution of the Second Berinese Empire. The Berinese Monarchy was weak and the Empire soon fell apart. In sight of the friendship of the former Berinese Emperor and the then Crown Prince [[Jonathan I, Emperor of Austenasia|Jonathan of Austenasia]], what was the "Empire of the Great Berin" became [[New Balland]], a subject to the Austenasian monarchy that was led by [[Declan I, II & V]] at the time. During this period of time and until the formation of the [[Artaghe|Union of Artaghe]], the Order remained inactive. In Artaghe, the President of the Union leads the Order. First [[Runa-Lisandra Bartolucci]] focused in Artaghean nationals and when [[Aina Oehler]] assumed office, the award became a diplomatic convenience. Artaghe's internal affairs were however uncapable of maintaining stability, and the office of the President was replaced with the "Union Presidency". The Union Presidency was composed of three members. Only one Union Presidency ever served; it was composed of [[Liam Barnard]], Oehler and Kârjasary, the once Berinese Emperor and former representative of New Balland. Finally, the Union of Artaghe was disestablished and Kârjasary takes control of the region again. The Order falls into inactivity for the second time and remains this way until the formation of [[Sabia and Verona]] within the [[Kingdom of Juclandia]]. This time, the Order is revived by [[Napoléon Bleuberrie]], who sought an award for his fellow members of the [[Socialist Party (Sabia and Verona)|Socialist Party]]. In Sabia and Verona, the Order is subject to strict laws regarding awards and decorations, and achieves a relative stability for the first time in its history. During Sabioveronese Prime Minister [[Ann Stefanović]]'s administration, the Order passed to be responsibility of the Governor of Sabia and Verona. In 2014, the Order's head became the [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|Monarch of the Valtirians]].<br />
<br />
==Ranks==<br />
There are only three ranks of the order. They have remained the same since the Order's establishment in the Second Berinese Empire.<br />
<br />
*Grand Knight of the Order: The highest within the Order. Former Maestres of the Order are given the title of Grand Knight. The title of "Knight" is granted to both men and women equally.<br />
*Commander of the Order: Middle within the Order. Originally intended to be given mostly to foreigners.<br />
*Officer of the Order: Lowest rank of the Order.<br />
<br />
The ranks have no real insignia, between themselves nor as for the Order itself. In case of being necessary, a tricolour ribbon (with the old Artaghean national colours, blue, red and white; or black and yellow) with the Baphomet Seal in the centre shall be used. <br />
<br />
==Insignia==<br />
[[File:Greater arms of Tarik Karjasari.png|thumb|right|200px|Imperial Seal on the royal arms of the [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|King of the Valtirians]].]]<br />
The Order is represented by the [[Imperial Seal of Berin|Imperial Seal of the Baphomet]], which was Coat of Arms of the Monarchy of the Second Berinese Empire. Although the Berinese Empire fell apart and the monarchy was disestablished, the seal remained the emblem of the Order. The colour of the Order is [[w:Crimson|Crimson red]], but it may also use yellow, white and black as secondary colours. Ribbons of the order have been black; blue, red and white; and currently only red, as it was first intended.<br />

==Maestre==<br />
The '''Maestre of the Order''' ([[Sabian language|Sabian]]: ''aiakrí airraidaibokinnán babametoná'') is the head of the Order, in charge of bestowing the honour to whoever they deem worthy. Throughout its history the Order has been awarded by several different heads of state, ever since the creation of the Order in the Berinese Empire to its modern times in Sabia and Verona. The Maester is formally referred to as "Lord / Lady Maestre of the Imperial Order", although in practice only "Maestre" is used. This is reflected by the King's official full title, "...''Maestre of the Order of the Baphomet''...". <br />
<br />

:''In this traditional Sabian name, ''Reginavái'' is the matronymic and ''Šuber-Moss'' is the family name.''<br />
'''Anton Nathaniel Schubert-Moss''', '''Baron Schubert-Moss''' ([[Sabian language|Sabian]]: ''anton natannel reginavái šuber-moss'') is a [[Sabia and Verona|Sabioveronese]] jurist, biologist, and former politician, who currently sits as a Magistrate in the [[Supreme Court of Sabia and Verona]]. A career politician, Schubert-Moss was minister of welfare in two governments, the [[Kóvérsz Cabinet|second]] and [[Virny II Cabinet|eighth]], under [[Osez Kóvérsz]] and [[Shounn Virny]], respectively. He was Lieutenant Secretary of [[Elinore]] from 2013 to 2014, and sat in two occasions in the Sabioveronese legislature: from 2014 to 2015 in the [[Courts of Sabia and Verona|Courts]], representing [[Elinore]], and from 2016 to 2017 in the [[Parliament of Sabia and Verona|Parliament]] representing [[Alios|Monesari]].<br />
<br />
In the early days of Sabia and Verona, he was a [[w:Biology|biology]] student in [[Caenia]], though he's originally from [[w:Germany|Germany]]. He rose to prominence as the center of the so-called Schubert-Moss controversy, in which it was discovered he was a member of the illegal [[Free Suyu Front]] and a spy for [[Napoléon Bleuberrie]]. Since then, he has been a known supporter of the Sabioveronese left, and a vocal [[w:Environmentalism|environmentalist]]. In 2015, he was one of the Valtirians involved in the [[Haronos Plan]] and became one of the first Sabioveronese settlers of the Southern Territories and [[Alios]]. From 2015 to his appointment as a Supreme Court magistrate, he belonged to the [[National Artists' Guild]].<br />
<br />
==Early and personal life==<br />
Anton Nathaniel Schubert-Moss was born into the rich [[Caenia]]n Schubert-Moss family, son of Igor Schubert-Moss and his wife, Regina Schubert-Moss (''née'' Redwyne). He is the nephew of [[Unity Party]] politician and Nadia Schubert-Moss, wife of [[Osez Kóvérsz]], and grandson of the famous naturalist and explorer Bruno Schubert-Moss. He was raised [[w:Lutheranism|Lutheran]], yet he would later become [[w:Atheist|Atheist]]. Unlike many Sabioveronese politicians pre-[[Haronos Plan|Haronos]], Schubert-Moss remained out of politics during the first stages of development of Sabia and Verona, mainly because of his father's interventions. His relationship with his father deteriorated because of their differing opinions regarding political and private matters. He enrolled in the Free University of Sabia and Verona as a biology student and graudated after the university became the [[University of Elinore]].<br />
<br />
==Political career==<br />
===Bleuberrie era and Controversy===<br />
Schubert-Moss was appointed Minister for Education and Welfare on January 1, 2013 by [[Osez Kóvérsz]]. Allegations claim that Schubert-Moss was elected for the office due to Kóvérsz' friendship with his father and Kóvérsz being married to Anton's aunt, Nadia. During his term, he was involved in a controversy (known as the Schubert-Moss controversy) during January and February 2013 when it was disclosed he was member of the FSF, and not the [[Socialist Party (Sabia and Verona)|Socialist Party]] as he first stated. In December 2012 and January 2013, the Government had been dealing with Hidram Cerwyn and his Free Suyu Front, an anarchist group that had been hacking the government's computers and leaking confidential documents of the [[Military of Sabia and Verona|Armed Froces]] as protest against the newly elected Conservative government. At the time, the FSF was not an official political party and a rebellious illegal movement, and so Schubert-Moss' affiliation to the young front could not be revealed. The Socialist Party did not act against Schubert-Moss' claims due to clandestine agreements between the CM and the FSF.<br />
<br />
However, on January 21, 2013, the [[Courts of Sabia and Verona]] agreed to lift the ban on the Free Suyu Front in order to stop the anarchist group from committing any more "crimes against the state".<ref>[http://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2013/01/22/fsf-declared-official-party-schubert-moss-in-controversy/ "FSF declared official party; Schubert-Moss in controversy"]. ''[[The SiV Phonograph]]''. 22 January 2013.</ref> The Free Suyu Front agreed to a "ceasefire" and Cerwyn issued a surrender declaration the same day. However, with the decriminalisation of the FSF, all data that the FSF had stolen from the government and the SVRAF was recovered. Among the stolen documents, the lists of members and collaborators of the FSF was revealed. It came to attention Schubert-Moss' name was in the list, and upon further investigation, it was revealed that [[Napoléon Bleuberrie]] and other members of the Socialist Party had been helping the Free Suyu Front by infiltrating Schubert-Moss as a Socialist Party member, and letting the FSF get to governmental documents and confidential information. Upon this evidence being presented to the Sabioveronese Government and the [[Commission for the Preservation of Democracy|Regional Committee for Democracy and Stability]] (DMDK), arrest orders for Anton-Schubert Moss, Napoléon Bleuberrie and Hidram Cerwyn were issued. On January 22, 2013 Anton Schubert-Moss was arrested in his residence in [[Caenia]] at 13:30.<br />
<br />
The trials was held in the afternoon of January 22, 2013. Due to the case's unusual nature, both the [[Courts of Sabia and Verona]] and the DMDK participated in the legal proceses, but the DMDK was the one to hold the veredict. Schubert-Moss, Cerwyn and Bleuberrie shared their attorney, [[Emmanuel Starlynn]]. It lasted only three hours and thirty two minutes. Due to the laws surrounding the legal proceses of a trial in Sabia and Verona, the agreements reached and the discussions held during the trial are undisclosed and belong to the state. All three defendants were found not guilty by unanimous veredict of the Karasal Council.<br />
<br />
===Post-Controversy===<br />
Following the end of his term as Minister, Schubert-Moss was nominated by the Free Suyu Front for the [[Sabioveronese general election, May 2013|May 2013 election]], in which he won 18% of the total vote. Although the FSF's campaign was successful in Elinore and parts of Salisse, most progressive supporters of the FSF voted for [[Ryam Piper]] and the [[Strawberry Party]] instead. Later in May 2013, the FSF and the Strawberry Party merged into the [[Roots Party]], in which Schubert-Moss became part of the Party Board, the party's collective leadership.<br />
<br />
Following the failed self-coup attempt of Napoléon Bleuberrie on 25 July 2013, Schubert-Moss asked for Bleuberrie and his supporting Land Army officers to be released. He participated in the demonstrations in Salisse during Bleuberrie's trial. On August 1, 2013, the City Council of Elinore announced the incumbent Lieutenant Secretary of the Municipality, Donnel Seaworth would be retiring. Elinore held a small speedy election on August 8, 2013 to elect a new Lieutenant Secretary, in which Schubert-Moss participated. He won with 75% of the votes against the [[Initiative for Democracy]]'s Raphaël Rivière. He took office on August 10, 2013 in a small ceremony to which several ministers and the acting [[Prime Minister of Sabia and Verona]] at the time, Rubén Hernández attended.<br />
<br />
In August 2014 Schubert-Moss celebrated the end of his term as Lieutenant Secretary of Elinore. He was succeeded by [[Petyr Cohen]] of the [[Left Alliance]] on 10 August 2014.<br />
<br />
===Post-Haronos political work===<br />
Schubert-Moss was one of the participants of the [[Haronos Plan]], stage 1, and alongside [[Léon Galieri]], [[Shounn Virny]], [[Napoléon Bleuberrie]], [[Tarik of Sabia and Verona|King Tarik]] and others, founded the city of [[Alios]]. There, he joined the [[National Artists' Guild]], and became a candidate for a seat in Parliament in the [[Sabioveronese general election, 2015|2015 parliamentary election]]. On 20 September 2015, he was elected to represent the constituency of Monesari West in the newly formed [[Parliament of Sabia and Verona]].<ref name=thelead>[https://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2015/09/20/virny-and-the-guild-take-the-lead/ "Virny and the Guild take the lead"].

{{Politics of SiV}}<br />
The '''Supreme Court of Sabia and Verona''' ([[Sabian language|Sabian]]: ''raitoanobók'') is the [[w:Supreme court|highest judicial authority]] in the [[Sabia and Verona|Kingdom of Sabia and Verona]] and the head of the judicial branch of the Sabioveronese state. It is composed of three judges known as magistrates (''toaveiagi''), one of whom is designated President of the Supreme Court. All magistrates serve three-year terms and are eligible for indefinite re-appointment. <br />
<br />
Magistrates of the Supreme Court are appointed by the [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|King]] on advice of the [[Prime Minister of Sabia and Verona|Prime Minister]], and confirmed by the [[Parliament of Sabia and Verona|Parliament]]. The President of the court is also chosen by Parliament from the sitting magistrates, and the position is then rotated among them in order of seniority. The present President of the court is [[Léon Galieri|Léon Jens-Galieri]], who has been a magistrate since 23 May 2017.<br />
<br />
The Supreme Court in its present form was established by the [[Constitution of Sabia and Verona|Constitution of 2017]], which established the current judicial system. The past Constitution of 2015 mandated the existence of the Tribunal, which was ''de facto'' the supreme court of Sabia and Verona as it was the only court of law in the Kingdom. The present judicial system is composed of three levels of courts; the lower District Courts, the Courts of Appeal and finally the Supreme Court atop the judicial hierarchy. Before the establishment of the old Tribunal by the Constitution of 2015, the Sabioveronese judiciary was vested upon the [[Courts of Sabia and Verona]], the Kingdom's former legislative body, and before that, in the [[Commission for the Preservation of Democracy]], also known as the Karasal Council.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
There were no mentions to the judiciary in early Sabioveronese law. Judicial functions were, when needed, delegated upon the [[Courts of Sabia and Verona]], though during the first months of existence of Sabia and Verona there was no need for a standing court of justice. When the Karasal Treaty was signed in December 2012, the [[Commission for the Preservation of Democracy|Regional Committee for Democracy and Stability in Sabia and Verona]] (later renamed ''Commission for the Preservation of Democracy''), commonly known as the DMDK was created and since then it served as the Kingdom's judiciary,<ref>[http://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2012/12/16/language-reform-karasal-treaty-and-ryamonishta/ "Language reform, Karasal Treaty and Ryəmoništa"]. ''[[The SiV Phonograph]]''. 16 December 2012.</ref> tending to important cases such as ''Sabia & Verona v. Schubert-Moss''. <br />
<br />
Following the creation of the [[Federal Union of Juclandian Lands]], the Judicial Power of the Courts, a commission made by the Court's Senators and five Chamber of Deputies members, became the Kingdom's new judiciary. This arrangement was not particularly popular among the provincial citizens of Sabia and Verona, who saw the preference of federal Senators over provincial Deputies unfair. The Judicial Power of the Courts never actually preceded over a case, and when the 2014 constitution was replaced by the new 2015 one, the body, alongside the Legislative Courts, became obsolte.<br />
<br />
In 2015 the new constitution was adopted. The new constitution divided the Sabioveronese state into the Executive Sounos, the Legislative Sounos and the Judicial Sounos. The Tribunal was originally to be composed of three members. Mei Xiongmao, Dimeros Grenouille and Airios Gouraesy were elected by [[Tarik of Sabia and Verona|King Tarik]] as the first Justices of the Judicial Sounos, with Xiongmao serving as the first Chief Justice. Three additional members were appointed by Tarik in the following days, but Justice Franxêska Bagos, one of the new justices, decided to abandon her seat to run for a seat in [[Parliament of Sabia and Verona|Parliament]], which she won at the [[Sabioveronese general election, 2015|2015 election]]. Other justices, like Hardanê Ban Bagor in [[Sabioveronese general election, 2015|2016]] and Dímeros Grenouille in [[Sabioveronese general election, 2015|2017]] followed suit. <br />
<br />
The adoption of the [[Constitution of Sabia and Verona|Constitution of 2017]] reformed the entire judicial system in Sabia and Verona, and dissolved the Tribunal to replace it with the Supreme Court and a number of inferior courts in the central regions: the Courts of Appeal and the District Courts. Three magistrates were appointed to the Supreme Court by the 3rd Parliament of Sabia and Verona: two-time [[Prime Minister of Sabia and Verona|Prime Minister]] [[Léon Galieri|Léon Jens-Galieri]], [[Anton Schubert-Moss]], and former Chief Justice Mei Xiongmao.<br />
<br />
==Constitutional provisions==<br />
The role of the Supreme Court is defined in Title VII of the present [[Constitution of Sabia and Verona]], which encompasses articles 76 to 84. It establishes the basic judicial hierarchy, with the Supreme Court at the top to serve as the Kingdom's court of last instance and as constitutional court. It also establishes the term length of Supreme Court magistrates, and the manner in which the presidency of the Court will rotate amongst the magistrates.<br />
<br />
Article 78 lists the matters over which the Supreme Court has [[w:Original jurisdiction|original jurisdiction]]: public destitution of elected officials, the dissolution of a [[List of political parties in Sabia and Verona|political party]], and ambiguities over competence between state agencies and national, regional and prefectural administrations.<br />
<br />
==Magistrates==<br />
The Supreme Court is composed of a number of magistrates (''toaveiagi'') appointed by the [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|Monarch]], on advice of the [[Prime Minister of Sabia and Verona|Prime Minister]] and confirmation of the [[Parliament of Sabia and Verona|Parliament]]. The exact number of magistrates the Supreme Court is to have is determined by a [[w:Special law|special law]]. The magistrates are presided by a President of the Supreme Court, who initially appointed by the Parliament and serves for a year-long term. The presidency then rotates among magistrates in order of seniority.<br />
<br />
The President manages the affairs of the court, directs court sessions and divides tasks among the magistrates and the employees of the court and maintains disciplinary supervision. They are responsible for the operation and finances of the Supreme Court and represents the judiciary in the public eye. This tradition comes from the Chief Justice of the old Tribunal.<ref name=mayorjudge>[https://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2016/09/11/mayor-judge-the-perpetual-goyo-and-the-gossip-of-it-all-the-2016-campaign-so-far/ "Mayor Judge, the perpetual Goyo and the gossip of it all: the 2016 campaign so far"]. ''[[The SiV Phonograph]]''. 11 September 2016. Retrieved 10 October 2016.</ref><br />
<br />
The current three magistrates of the Court were all confirmed by the 3rd Parliament of Sabia and Verona upon the creation of the Supreme Court in 2017, and appointed by the King on 22 May 2017.<br />

<hr />
<div>{{Politics of SiV}}<br />
The '''Book of Electors''' ([[Sabian language|Sabian]]: ''ideragiħuro''; [[w:Spanish language|Spanish]]: ''Libro de Electores'') is a tome edited exclusively by the [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|Monarch]] of [[Sabia and Verona]] recording all the [[Peerage of Sabia and Verona|noble houses and lineages]] in the Kingdom. The Book serves the purpose of keeping track of all Sabioveronese citizens who are eligible to become King or Queen of the Valtirians, as Sabia and Verona is an [[w:Elective monarchy|elective monarchy]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Book was first introduced in 2014, when Sabia and Verona separated from the [[Monarchy of Juclandia|Juclandian Crown]] and [[Isadora of Sabia and Verona|Isadora Annenak]] was crowned Queen of All Sabia, Verona and Lycem (a title that was later abridged to "Queen of the Valtirians"). The Book sought to formally inscribe all [[Valtirians|human citizens]] of the Kingdom who had the right to vote in Royal Elections – hence "Book of ''Electors''" – as the [[Constitution of Sabia and Verona#Constitution of 2014|Constitution of 2014]] established a difference between the human nobility and commoner human citizens in regards to who had royal voting rights. The first book was edited by Queen Isadora shortly after her coronation, in April 2014.<br />
<br />
Voting rights in Royal Elections were expanded to all Sabioveronese humans with the introduction of the [[Constitution of Sabia and Verona#Constitution of 2015|Constitution of 2015]], in the aftermath of the [[Haronos Plan]]. This meant the purpose and nature of the Book of Electors shifted as well: it was no longer to record the names of eligible voters, but the name of eligible ''candidates'' to become King or Queen of the Valtirians. The 2015 Constitution did not mention the Book of Electors at all; its use was reduced to mere convention, although it was not used as no monarchical successions took place during the mandate of this particular constitutional document.<br />
<br />
The present constitution of Sabia and Verona, adopted in [[Sabioveronese Constitutional Assembly|2017]], incorporated the Book of Electors into its text, and formalized its role as the fundamental document recording all eligible candidates to the Valtirian throne. It also formalized the Monarch's exclusive right to add and amend to the Book.<br />
<br />
==List of lineages in the Book==<br />
List updated as of 2019, when the Book was last updated. Below the lineages are the [[Peerage of Sabia and Verona|peerages]] associated to them. '''Bold''' indicates the lineage produced a monarch, ''italic'' indicates the lineage no longer contains any eligible candidates to the Throne, <del>strikethrough</del> indicates the lineage has been removed from the Book.<br />

One of the nation's founding fathers, he served two non-consecutive terms as its [[Governor of Sabia and Verona|Governor]] before being crowned King of the Valtirians on 23 August 2015, succeeding [[Isadora of Sabia and Verona|Queen Isadora]]. He is also a citizen of [[Abeldane Empire|Abelden]]; Kârjasary is the [[Monarchy of Rai|Grand Duke]] of [[Grand Duchy of Rai|Rai]], a federal state of Abelden. Additionally, Kârjasary is Chief Editor of ''[[The SiV Phonograph]]'' and ''[[L'Sydunche]]''. For a brief time from January to April 2019, Kârjasary was the [[Vorsitzender]] (head of government) of Abelden.<br />
<br />
Since early 2011, Kârjasary has been the head of state of many micronational states, most of which were fouded or co-founded by him. These micronations became known in the MicroWiki community for their short periods of existence, and received the name of "[[Valtir Sector|''Garrshirian'' micronations]]", for Kârjasary's former micronational name, Richard Garrshire. Since the establishment of Sabia and Verona in 2012, the Garrshirian sector (nowadays also known as the ''Valtir'' Sector) has achieved relative stability.<ref name="bisexual">Karjasari, Tarik (20 October 2014).

<br />
==Early micronationalism==<br />
{{Main|Valtir Sector}}<br />
Kârjasary first became involved in micronationalism in 2011 with the foundation of the [[Cizland|Republic of Cizland]]. Though holding the office of Foreign Minister, he acted as the short-lived micronation's leader until its dissolution only a few weeks after its creation. After this, Cizland was succeeded by a series of ephemeral micronations, all claiming territory in what is now known as the [[Valtir Sector]]. Most of these Valtirian states had elements of geofiction and sockpuppeting. In June 2011 the [[Berinese Confederation]] was established; Berin was the first of Kârjasary's states to become an active part of the MicroWiki community, and the first of the sector's micronations to be free of sockpuppeting. However like its predecesors it wasn't long until it dissolved into minor states: the Republic of Berin was founded in September 2011. <br />
<br />
Many other micronations followed, some of the most prominent being the [[Artaghe|Union of Artaghe]], the State of Dakrit, which became the base for the modern [[Church of the Pahun]] and Montriac, which became prominent for its involvement in the Kossian Civil War. In past occasions Karjasari has referred to the Union of Artaghe as the "golden age" of the Garrshirian sector.<ref name="retrospective">Karjasari, Tarik (25 December 2012).

==Sabia and Verona==<br />
{{Main|History of Sabia and Verona}}<br />
===Early Sabia and Verona===<br />
[[File:Isadora Regina.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Portrait of [[Isadora of Sabia and Verona|Isadora of Annenak]] painted by Tarik, 2014.]]<br />
In later October 2012 the Valtir Sector had just seen the dissolution of yet another of its states, Listva, a colony of the Würtige Empire. This time Karjasari turned his attention to [[Juclandia]]. After holding talks with [[Ciprian of Juclandia|King Ciprian]] the Kingdom of Sabia and Verona was established: an overseas territory of the Romanian micronation in the Valtir. From the foundation of Sabia and Verona and the first meeting of its [[Courts of Sabia and Verona|Legislative Courts]] on 18 October 2012, Karjasari oversaw Sabia and Verona as [[Governor of Sabia and Verona|Governor]] of the newly founded nation. As Governor, he acted as the Sabioveronese representative of the King of Juclandia. At first, Karjasari was linked to the [[Socialist Party (Sabia and Verona)|Socialist Party]], the nation's largest political organization led by [[Prime Minister of Sabia and Verona|Prime Minister]] [[Napoléon Bleuberrie]], but with the new laws that came with the Karasal Treaty of December 2012 he saw himself forced to abandon his affiliation to the party. <br />
<br />
His first term as Governor concluded on 20 April 2013, and he was succeded by [[Isadora of Sabia and Verona|Isadora Annenak]] who was accepted by King Ciprian on Karjasari's recommendation. After stepping down as Governor, he founded the [[Strawberry Party]] a satire, pacifist political alliance that assumed a minor role in Sabioveronese politics.<ref name=annenak>Karjasari, Tarik (24 April 2013). [https://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2013/04/24/annenak-lycem-and-elections/ Editorial: Annenak, Lycem and the upcoming elections]. ''[[The SiV Phonograph]]''. Retrieved 18 December 2019.</ref> The party participated in the [[Sabioveronese general election, May 2013|May 2013 general elections]] with [[Ryam Piper]] as its candidate. Soon after the general election, Karjasari along with other Strawberry Party members got involved with the leadership of the [[Free Suyu Front]] (FSF). FSF leader Hidram Cerwyn originally proposed the idea of merging the XAM and the FSF into one larger political party. This proposal was voted in a dual party congress held on June 10, 2013. That day, the XAM and the FSF were officially merged into the [[Roots Party]]. This party grew to become the second largest political party in Sabia and Verona, thanks to the success of the union of the two original associations. However Kârjasary left the party after the merger. <br />
<br />
On 20 October 2013 Kârjasary was re-elected by the Kign Ciprian as Sabia and Verona's governor for a second six-month term. In February 2014 he became the Governor to a new Monarch of Sabia and Verona, [[Isadora of Sabia and Verona|Isadora of Annenak]], who would become the first ''Queen of the Valtirians''. Alongside [[Aina Oehler]], he was one of the witnesses of the new Queen's coronation on 27 April 2014. In October 2014, near the end of his second term as Governor, Karjasari was created Duke of Evra following the introduction of the Sabioveronese peerage. After stepping down, he was succeeded by the [[Governor of Sabia and Verona|Deputy Governor]], [[Joseph Kennedy|Joseph Emmanuel, Marquis of Saamark]], who became interum Governor. [[Saria Josephine]] would eventually assume the position. Following the end of his tenure, he assumed a more passive role in Sabioveronese politics, becoming Queen Isadora's political advisor and intermediary between the Queen and [[Salisse]]. Even then, he continued to represent Sabia and Verona in foreign contexts, though the Federation's isolation from the intermicronational sphere made these occasions rare.<br />

In early August 2015 he became a pivotal member of the [[Haronos Plan]]. The plan proposed establishing a Sabioveronese outpost outside Venezuela, as the economic, social and political situation in the macronation became more unpredictable.<ref name="exodus">Karjasari, Tarik (14 August 2015).

Retrieved 21 December 2016.</ref> On 17 August 2015, Queen Isadora stepped down as it became evident the Sabioveronese new claims in [[w:Argentina|Argentina]] (the chosen destination of Haronos) would become the Kingdom's new administrative center. The provisions of the [[Sabia and Verona#Haronos and the Tarekian era|Congress of Salisse]], held the day before, filtered the candidates listed on the [[Book of Electors]] to two possible options for the Royal Election: Karjasari and his younger brother [[Kaj Kârjasary|Kaj]], at the time 8 years of age. Deemed unfit to rule, Kaj was taken out of the pool of electors and thus Tarik's claim became uncontested. On 23 August 2015, the day Isadora's abdication came into effect, he was declared the new King of the Valtirians.<br />
<br />
He was crowned in Salisse the day of his proclamation as the nation's new monarch. Two days later, now bearing the title of King of the Valtirians, he commanded the first state of the Haronos Plan and on 25 August 2015 he became one of the founders of the [[Alios|City of Alios]] in [[w:Argentina|Argentina]], which became the Kingdom's new capital. From this new capital city he oversaw the adoption of a new [[Constitution of Sabia and Verona]], and thus became the new head of the federal citizenship as the position of [[Governor of Sabia and Verona|Governor]] was abolished.<br />
<br />
Tarik's early reign saw the implementation of a new economic policy led by [[Prime Minister of Sabia and Verona|Prime Minister]] [[Shounn Virny]] that saw the internal growth of the national economy, aided by the creation of the [[National Bank of Sabia and Verona]] and the adoption of the [[Sabioveronese groxi|groxi]] as the Kingdom's currency. In late February 2016, Tarik signed the [[Alios Agreement]] with [[Ciprian of Juclandia]], officially disbanding the [[Federal Union of Juclandian Lands]] government and re-establishing the Federation as an intermicronational economic and cultural union, officially securing the Sabioveronese independence from Jucaresti.<ref>Karjasari, Tarik (28 February 2017).

On 24 February 2017, Tarik surpassed Isadora as the longest-reigning monarch of Sabia and Verona and longest-serving head of state of any Valtirian sector micronation. In March 2017, Tarik released two royal decrees, one dissolving the [[Order of the Steel Ring]], and another modifying the royal titles.<ref>Karjasari, Tarik (1 March 2017).

<br />
Throughout 2018 and 2019, Tarik extensively reworked the Book of Electors, removing lineages that were no longer related to Sabia and Verona and adding new lineages with potential successors to the Valtirian throne. The [[House of Hasaraši|Hasaraši lineage]], to which Tarik himself belongs through his father Ískandu, saw the addition of four of its members to the Book. In December 2019 Tarik granted the title of "prince" (''ravái'') to a non-royal individual for the first time in Sabia and Verona's history, granting the honorary title to Ima Bašo, [[Peerage of Sabia and Verona|Duke of Ixuħreti]].<ref name=prince>[https://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2019/12/17/king-names-first-ever-non-royal-prince/ "King names first-ever non-royal prince"].

<div>{{Politics of Abelden}}<br />
[[Abelden]] is a semi-constitutional monarchy with a multi-party democratic system. Party politics occur within the framework of the legislature, a unicameral parliament known as the [[Reichsversammlung]]. Members of the Reichsversammlung are mostly elected in free elections held across the Empire, while a seat is reserved for the [[Abeldane Monarchy|Heir to the throne]] and another for an appointed member who is handpicked by the Emperor. <br />
<br />
Presently, the Reichsversammlung consists of 13 MRs. As of the [[Concordiagate]] scandal, the chamber is dissolved. Historically, parties have had to form coalitions in order to maintain stable governments; though the current [[Provisional ministry (Abelden)|Provisional ministry]], formed in July 2020, is made up of members from a single party and independents.<br />

The '''Grand Duchy of Rai''' ([[Sabian language|Sabian]]: ''baraibarakurói ra''), simply known as '''Rai''' is a federal state of the [[Abeldane Empire]], founded in [[2016]]. From July to August 2016, it was known as the Grand Duchy of Bergendorf, and from August 2016 to June 2017 it was known as the Grand Duchy of New Lviv. Its current monarch is [[Tarik of Sabia and Verona|Tarik of Karjasari]], [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|King]] of [[Sabia and Verona]]. <br />
<br />
Rai claims territory in [[w:Argentina|Argentina]], not far from Sabia and Verona's southernmost claims of [[Alios]] and [[Gonn]], and [[Austenasia]]'s crown dependency of [[Esmondia]], and in the [[w:United States|United States]]. The capital of Rai, and its only present territory, is [[Batori]]. The first Grand Duke of Bergendorf was Angelo I, who was succeeded by [[Grant Hawkins|Grant]] in August 2016, as Grand Duke of New Lviv. Tarik became Grand Duke on 30 June 2017, and renamed the Grand Duchy as Rai. <br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The word ''rai'' comes from the [[Sabian language]], and it means "primordial", "superior" or "king". The demonym of the Grand Duchy is ''rai''. New Lviv, the grand duchy's former name, comes from the city of [[w:Lviv|Lviv]] in the [[w:Ukraine|Ukraine]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The state was originally founded in 2016 as the Grand Duchy of Bergendorf, a name it held briefy while it was governed by Grand Duke Angelo I Geulin.<ref>Freayth, Stephen (2 July 2016). [https://abeldanetimes.wordpress.com/2016/07/02/new-federal-monarchs-appointed/ "New federal monarchs appointed"]. ''[[Abeldane Times]]''. Retrieved 17 May 2020.</ref> The Grand Duchy's original claims lay in the United States. When Angelo abdicated in 2016, the Grand Duchy was given to former [[Vorsitzender]] and [[Conservative Party of Abelden]] politician [[Grant Hawkins]], who on 26 August 2016 became Grand Duke Grant and renamed the state New Lviv, for the Ukrainian city of [[w:Lviv|Lviv]].<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/AbeldenGov/permalink/1773884286161051/ "Posted on 26 August 2016"]. Abelden on [[w:Facebook|Facebook]] (archived). Retrieved 17 May 2020.</ref><ref name=seneschal>Karjasari, Tarik (6 January 2018). [https://lsydunche.wordpress.com/2018/01/06/alex-white-appointed-seneschal-of-rai/ "Alex White appointed Seneschal of Rai"]. ''[[L'Sydunche]]''. Retrieved 10 May 2020.</ref> New Lviv had its capital in New Kent, surrounded by the [[w:United States|United States]] state of [[w:Ohio|Ohio]], and its official languages were Afrikaans, English and Ukrainian.<br />
<br />
Following Grand Duke Grant's abdication in June 2017, [[Stephen I & II|Emperor Stephen]] granted the Grand Duchy to [[Tarik of Sabia and Verona|Tarik Karjasari]], [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|King]] of [[Sabia and Verona]], who renamed it as ''Rai'', the [[Sabian language|Sabian]] word for "primordial" and "king". The Grand Duchy's North American claims were ceded back and new land in [[w:Argentina|Argentina]] near Sabia and Verona was claimed. The Grand Duchy's first Seneschal, Alex White, was appointed in 2017.<ref name=seneschal/><br />
<br />
In September 2017, the Principality of Skandberg was merged with Rai, and so the Grand Duchy once again attained land claims in North America. These claims were subsequently relinquished.<br />
<br />
In 2019 Karjasari left federal politics to focus on Rai, and abandoned the [[Abeldane Social Ecology|Social Ecology Party]] to found the [[Batu Party]], an exclusively regional party that advocates for regional rights and the promotion of [[Valtirians|Valtirian culture]] in the grand duchy. The same year, the Grand Duke expanded the Grand Duchy's territorial claims in Batori, expanding the border with Sabia and Verona.<ref name=expand>Karjasari, Tarik (15 January 2019).

Retrieved 10 May 2020.</ref> In October 2019 Rai became the last federal state to sign the Treaty of Accession of the [[Kingdom of Tusmore|Archduchy of Tusmore]].<br />
<br />
In January 2020, Austin Jaax was appointed Seneschal of Rai, replacing White. In May 2020, Grand Duke Tarik released a decree officially establishing the Charter of Rai as the Grand Duchy's first constitutional document.<ref name=mbirag>[https://www.instagram.com/p/CARMOj_AlYf/ "baraibarakuróa karim toagaku"].

==Geography==<br />
[[File:Batori, Rai.jpg|thumb|250px|Central Road in [[Batori]], capital of Rai.]]<br />
Rai is part of the broader area known as Ħanjago, which includes all of [[Sabia and Verona]]'s southern territories. The grand duchy's nominal capital, [[Batori]], and its surrounding territories are located within a flat open area bordering the [[w:Buenos Aires|Autonomous City of Buenos Aires]] in [[w:Argentina|Argentina]] to the North and East and the [[Doga Runann|Doga Runann Dependency]] in [[Sabia and Verona]] to the Southwest. These territories lay 25 m (82 ft) above sea level, mostly covered in pastures and presenting a mild degree of [[w:Biodiversity|biodiversity]] in fauna and flora.<br />
<br />
The Rai border with Sabia and Verona is subject to an international treaty signed between Abelden and the Sabioveronese state which allows for the free movement of people and goods; the treaty has been in place since 7 March 2019.<ref>[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1R9l1FkHfduOk4bGhXMWG6vUurg8Ttgb6J7FRbjcRP78/edit "Abolition of Border Checks at the Rai Border (Agreement) Act"].

<br />
===Climate===<br />
Rai has a [[w:Humid subtropical climate|humid subtropical climate]] ([[w:Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Cfa''), with very humid summers and mild winters. The warmest month is January, with a daily average of 25.1 °C (77.2 °F). Most days see temperatures in the 28 to 31 °C (82 to 88 °F) with nights between 16 to 21 °C (61 to 70 °F). Heat waves from Brazil can push temperatures above 35 °C (95 °F), yet Rai is subject to cold fronts that bring short periods of pleasant weather and crisp nights. [[w:Relative humidity|Relative humidity]] is 64–70% in the summer, so the [[w:Heat index|heat index]] is higher than the true air temperature. Spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) are generally mild and volatile, with averages temperatures of around 17 °C (63 °F) and frequent thunderstorms, especially during the spring.<br />
<br />
Winters are temperate, though frost may be experienced from May to September. Relative humidity averages in the upper 70s%, which means the territory is subjected to moderate to heavy fogs during autumn and winter. July is the coolest month, with an average temperature of 10.9 °C (51.6 °F). Cold spells originating from Antarctica occur almost every year, and combined with the high wintertime humidity, conditions in winter may feel much cooler than the measured temperature. Most days peak reach 12 to 17 °C (54 to 63 °F) and drop to 3 to 8 °C (37 to 46 °F) at night. Southerly winds may keep temperatures below 10 °C (50 °F) for a few days, whereas northerly winds may bring temperatures above 20 °C (68 °F) for a few days; these variations are normal.<br />
<br />
Spring is very windy and variable: there may be heat waves with temperatures of 35 °C (95 °F) even in early October, as well as periods of much colder weather with highs close to 10 °C (50 °F). Frost has been recorded as late as early November, although this is unusual. Severe thunderstorms are likely between September and December.<br />
<br />
Rai receives 1,242.6 mm (49 in) of rainfall per year. Rain can be expected at any time of year and hailstorms are not unusual.<br />

Rai is an [[absolute monarchy]] in which the [[Monarchy of Rai|Grand Duke]] holds the entirety of political and institutional power. The figure of the Grand Duke concentrates executive, legislative and judicial authority, which is exercised through Grand Ducal Decrees, the only type of legislation in the Grand Duchy. The constitutional document of the Grand Duchy is the [[Charter of Rai]], adopted in May 2020, which codifies the Grand Duke's powers and establishes the rules of succession for the Rai Crown.<ref name=mbirag/><br />
<br />
The Grand Duke may delegate some of their political power to a [[Seneschal of Rai|Seneschal]] to and aid in everyday governance; the Seneschal, in turn, appoints a number of ministers to the Cabinet of Rai, which collectively excercises the Grand Duke's authority. The current Seneschal is [[Austin Jaax]]. The Grand Duke may also allow the establishment of a ''[[Bok of Rai|bok]]'' ([[Sabian language|Sabian]] for "council"), or consultative assembly, to give advise and counsel in matters of governance, should the monarch see it fit or due to a growth in popular "demands". The Charter of Rai doesn't specify the method by which ''bok'' members are to be elected, though it does allow for the formation of state parties or local chapters of [[Political parties in Abelden|federal parties]]; at the moment the only existing political party in Rai is the [[Batu Party]].

===State symbols===<br />
[[File:New Lviv flag.png|thumb|right|200px|Flag of the former Grand Duchy of New Lviv (2016–2017).]]<br />
According to the Charter of Rai, the state symbols of the Grand Duchy are to be established by Grand Ducal Decree. The Charter also describes the flag and coat of arms of Rai as the "foremost symbols of the Rai state". The current state symbols were adopted upon the accession of Grand Duke Tarik.<br />
<br />
The flag of Rai is a 2:3 vertical triband of [[w:Shades of blue|sky blue]], [[w:White|white]] and [[w:Shades of pink|baby pink]], with a stylized [[w:Crux|Southern Cross]] (''Crux'') in the upper part of the sky blue band. The blue in the flag represents the open sky above Batori and the Grand Duchy's relationship with [[Abelden]]; white and pink are the traditional colors of the [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|Valtirian Monarchy]] and are associated with the ruling [[House of Kârjasary|grand ducal house]]. The Southern Cross highlights Rai's position as the Empire's southernmost state, as the ''Crux'' constellation is only visible from the Southern Hemisphere. The former flag of the Grand Duchy of New Lviv (in use from 2016 to 2017) was a green field vertically crossed by a golden wave.<br />
<br />
The coat of arms of Rai is derived from the grand ducal flag; the blazon is described as ''per pale azure and rose, a pale argent, chief three vertically aligned sailing ships proper''. The sailing ships represent the settlers who travelled south from the [[Valtir Sector|Valtir]] during [[Haronos Plan|Haronos]]; the number three is associated with beauty and abundance in Valtirian tradition. The shield is crowned by the traditional crown of Abeldane grand dukes, and supported by three white deer.<br />
<br />
The state anthem of Rai is the 2020 hit pop single ''[[w:Physical (Dua Lipa song)|Physical]]'' by English singer [[w:Dua Lipa|Dua Lipa]], from her latest album, ''[[w:Future Nostalgia|Future Nostalgia]]''; it was adopted on 28 May 2020.<ref>[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_jLAWikSB_0oetTE45UJP6MVWsDJVQ3g/view "State Anthem Decree"]. 28 May 2020. Retrieved 9 June 2020.</ref> From 2017 to 2020 the state anthem was the 2017 hit pop single ''[[w:New Rules|New Rules]]'', also by Lipa. The Grand Duchy's state motto is ''"batuná senar bašúi"'', [[Sabian language|Sabian]] for "the Southern Wind is always loyal".<br />
<br />
===Languages===<br />
The sole official language of the Grand Duchy, as established in its Charter, is [[Sabian language|Sabian]] (''sabintái''). The Sabian language is a [[conlang]] developed and spoken in Sabia and Verona. Alongside [[Esmondia]] (an [[Austenasia]]n [[Austenasian Crown Dependency|crown dependency]]) Rai is the only polity outside Sabia and Verona to have adopted Sabian as an official language. However, in practice, the Grand Duchy uses [[w:English language|English]] as its everyday operative language as it is the ''lingua franca'' of the Abeldane Empire.<br />

The '''Charter of Rai''' ([[Sabian language|Sabian]]: ''raisoa''; lit. "Rai Charter", also called ''baraibarasoa''; lit. "Grand Ducal Charter") is the [[constitution]] of the [[Grand Duchy of Rai]], a [[States of Abelden|federal state]] of the [[Abeldane Empire]]. It was adopted on 15 May 2020, when it was promulgated through a grand ducal decree by [[Monarchy of Rai|Grand Duke]] [[Tarik of Sabia and Verona|Tarik Karjasari]]. It was the first constitutional document ever adopted by the state, making Rai the last state in Abelden to adopt a fundamental law of any sort.<ref name=mbirag>[https://www.instagram.com/p/CARMOj_AlYf/ "baraibarakuróa karim toagaku"]. ''[[mbirág aliosin]]'' (in Sabian). 16 May 2020. Retrieved 23 May 2020.</ref><br />
<br />
The Charter of Rai codified the monarchy's extensive executive, legislative and judicial powers, which had been excercised ''de facto'' since the establishment of the Grand Duchy as Bergendorf under Angelo I Geulin, in [[2016]].<br />
<br />
==Contents==<br />
The Charter has no preamble. It is divided into five parts: primordial elements of the Grand Duchy, governance, state symbols, guiding principles of the Rai society, and considerations on the Charter itself.<br />
<br />
===Part 1 (primordial elements)===<br />
Part 1 of the Charter describes the "primordial elements" of the Grand Duchy, the nature of the Grand Duchy as a sovereign state and constituent part of the [[Abeldane Empire]] (subjected to its [[Constitution of Abelden|constitution]] and laws), the nature of the [[Monarchy of Rai|Rai monarchy]], and the nature of the Rai people as a constituent element of the "[[Valtirians|Great Valtirian Nation]]", thereby adopting the [[Sabian language]] as the sole official language of the Grand Duchy. It is entirely made of Article 1. <br />
<br />
===Part 2 (governance)===<br />
Part 2 of the Charter describes the style of governance and the state institutions of the Grand Duchy. Articles 2 and 3 describe the Monarchy, its authority and the form ([[w:Absolute primogeniture|absolute primogeniture]]) and line of succession, starting with the ruling [[House of Kârjasary|House of Karjasari]] and then the secondary [[House of Hasaraši]]. The following articles describe the office and responsibilities of the [[Seneschal of Rai]], the source and limitations of their authority, the nature of their permanence in the post, and the possibility of the establishment of a ''[[Bok of Rai|Bok]]'' ("court", in Sabian), a deliberative assembly with no actual legislative powers. Notably, it establishes Grand Ducal Decrees as the only valid form of legislation in the Grand Duchy.<br />
<br />
===Part 3 (state symbols)===<br />
The third part of the Charter establishes legal provisions on the state symbols of the Grand Duchy (the flag, coat of arms, [[w:New Rules|state anthem]] and motto), and the importance of the state flag and coat of arms as the "foremost symbols" of the Grand Duchy and the Grand Duke, and that as such they are to be treated "with respect and in ceremonial fashion".<br />
<br />
===Part 4 (guiding principles of Rai society)===<br />
Part 4 of the Charter establishes the "primordial values" of Rai society, namely "equality before the law, the pursuit of fine aesthetics, freedom to express oneself, and the determination to shatter oppressive structures in the overarching society." It also sets the "primordial truths" of Rai society, which are that the Rai people are a constituent part of the [[Valtirians|Great Valtirian Nation]], as much as they are legally bound to the laws of the [[Abeldane Empire|Abeldane Empire and Commonwealth]], and that there are systemic forces operating well beyond the reach of the Rai state’s authority and the Rai people’s impact that greatly benefit a select few individuals at the heavy expense and detriment of oppressed majorities; this, the Charter maintains, is an undesirable situation. This section also establishes the social and cultural duties of the Grand Ducal State.<br />
<br />
===Part 5 (Charter provisions)===<br />
The fifth and final part establishes general provisions on the Charter, including the procedure for the addition of constitutional amendments and the entry into force of the Charter.<br />

The '''Grand Duchy of Rai''' ([[Sabian language|Sabian]]: ''baraibarakurói ra''), simply known as '''Rai''' is a federal state of the [[Abeldane Empire]], founded in [[2016]]. From July to August 2016, it was known as the Grand Duchy of Bergendorf, and from August 2016 to June 2017 it was known as the Grand Duchy of New Lviv. Its current monarch is [[Tarik of Sabia and Verona|Tarik of Karjasari]], [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|King]] of [[Sabia and Verona]]. <br />
<br />
Rai claims territory in [[w:Argentina|Argentina]], not far from Sabia and Verona's southernmost claims of [[Alios]] and [[Gonn]], and [[Austenasia]]'s crown dependency of [[Esmondia]], and in the [[w:United States|United States]]. The capital of Rai, and its only present territory, is [[Batori]]. The first Grand Duke of Bergendorf was Angelo I, who was succeeded by [[Grant Hawkins|Grant]] in August 2016, as Grand Duke of New Lviv. Tarik became Grand Duke on 30 June 2017, and renamed the Grand Duchy as Rai. <br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The word ''rai'' comes from the [[Sabian language]], and it means "primordial", "superior" or "king". The demonym of the Grand Duchy is ''rai''. New Lviv, the grand duchy's former name, comes from the city of [[w:Lviv|Lviv]] in the [[w:Ukraine|Ukraine]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The state was originally founded in 2016 as the Grand Duchy of Bergendorf, a name it held briefy while it was governed by Grand Duke Angelo I Geulin.<ref>Freayth, Stephen (2 July 2016). [https://abeldanetimes.wordpress.com/2016/07/02/new-federal-monarchs-appointed/ "New federal monarchs appointed"]. ''[[Abeldane Times]]''. Retrieved 17 May 2020.</ref> The Grand Duchy's original claims lay in the United States. When Angelo abdicated in 2016, the Grand Duchy was given to former [[Vorsitzender]] and [[Conservative Party of Abelden]] politician [[Grant Hawkins]], who on 26 August 2016 became Grand Duke Grant and renamed the state New Lviv, for the Ukrainian city of [[w:Lviv|Lviv]].<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/AbeldenGov/permalink/1773884286161051/ "Posted on 26 August 2016"].

<br />
Following Grand Duke Grant's abdication in June 2017, [[Stephen I & II|Emperor Stephen]] granted the Grand Duchy to [[Tarik of Sabia and Verona|Tarik Karjasari]], [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|King]] of [[Sabia and Verona]], who renamed it as ''Rai'', the [[Sabian language|Sabian]] word for "primordial" and "king". The Grand Duchy's North American claims were ceded back and new land in [[w:Argentina|Argentina]] near Sabia and Verona was claimed. The Grand Duchy's first Seneschal, Alex White, was appointed in 2017.<ref name=seneschal/><br />
<br />
In September 2017, the Principality of Skandberg was merged with Rai, and so the Grand Duchy once again attained land claims in North America. These claims were subsequently relinquished.<br />
<br />
In 2019 Karjasari left federal politics to focus on Rai, and abandoned the [[Abeldane Social Ecology|Social Ecology Party]] to found the [[Batu Party]], an exclusively regional party that advocates for regional rights and the promotion of [[Valtirians|Valtirian culture]] in the grand duchy. The same year, the Grand Duke expanded the Grand Duchy's territorial claims in Batori, expanding the border with Sabia and Verona.<ref name=expand>Karjasari, Tarik (15 January 2019).

In May 2020, Grand Duke Tarik released a decree officially establishing the Charter of Rai as the Grand Duchy's first constitutional document.<ref name=mbirag>[https://www.instagram.com/p/CARMOj_AlYf/ "baraibarakuróa karim toagaku"].

The flag of Rai is a 2:3 vertical triband of [[w:Shades of blue|sky blue]], [[w:White|white]] and [[w:Shades of pink|baby pink]], with a stylized [[w:Crux|Southern Cross]] (''Crux'') in the upper part of the sky blue band. The blue in the flag represents the open sky above Batori and the Grand Duchy's relationship with [[Abelden]]; white and pink are the traditional colors of the [[Monarchy of Sabia and Verona|Valtirian Monarchy]] and are associated with the ruling [[House of Kârjasary|grand ducal house]]. The Southern Cross highlights Rai's position as the Empire's southernmost state, as the ''Crux'' constellation is only visible from the Southern Hemisphere. The former flag of the Grand Duchy of New Lviv (in use from 2016 to 2017) was a green field vertically crossed by a golden wave.<br />
<br />
The coat of arms of Rai is derived from the grand ducal flag; the blazon is described as ''per pale azure and rose, a pale argent, chief three vertically aligned sailing ships proper''. The sailing ships represent the settlers who travelled south from the [[Valtir Sector|Valtir]] during [[Haronos Plan|Haronos]]; the number three is associated with beauty and abundance in Valtirian tradition. The shield is crowned by the traditional crown of Abeldane grand dukes, and supported by three white deer.<br />
<br />
The state anthem of Rai is the 2020 hit pop single ''[[w:Physical (Dua Lipa song)|Physical]]'' by English singer [[w:Dua Lipa|Dua Lipa]], from her latest album, ''[[w:Future Nostalgia|Future Nostalgia]]''; it was adopted on 28 May 2020.<ref>[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_jLAWikSB_0oetTE45UJP6MVWsDJVQ3g/view "State Anthem Decree"]. 28 May 2020. Retrieved 9 June 2020.</ref> From 2017 to 2020 the state anthem was the 2017 hit pop single ''[[w:New Rules|New Rules]]'', also by Lipa. The Grand Duchy's state motto is ''"batuná senar bašúi"'', [[Sabian language|Sabian]] for "the Southern Wind is always loyal".<br />
<br />
===Languages===<br />
The sole official language of the Grand Duchy, as established in its Charter, is [[Sabian language|Sabian]] (''sabintái''). The Sabian language is a [[conlang]] developed and spoken in Sabia and Verona. Alongside [[Esmondia]] (an [[Austenasia]]n [[Austenasian Crown Dependency|crown dependency]]) Rai is the only polity outside Sabia and Verona to have adopted Sabian as an official language. However, in practice, the Grand Duchy uses [[w:English language|English]] as its everyday operative language as it is the ''lingua franca'' of the Abeldane Empire.<br />

'''Regional and local elections''' are to be held in [[Sabia and Verona]] on 26 July 2020. The governors of the [[Administrative divisions of Sabia and Verona|central regions]], [[Alios]] and [[Gonn]], as well as the prefects (mayors) of Gonn's three prefectures ([[Kotavari]], [[Monesari]] and [[Sato]]) will be elected. The election date was set by the [[Electoral Commission (Sabia and Verona)|Electoral Commission of Sabia and Verona]] in January 2020, at the same time as the date of the [[Sabioveronese general election, 2020|2020 parliamentary election]].<ref>@SabiaAndVerona on [[w:Twitter|Twitter]] (5 January 2020).

<br />
The [[Sabioveronese general election, 2019|2019 regional and local elections]] resulted in important gains for the [[Democratic Party (Sabia and Verona)|Democratic Party]], which gained in all the elections it contested. Democratic incumbents won in the gubernatorial election in Gonn and in local elections in Sato and Kotavari; a Liberal incumbent was unseated in Monesari, and the only independent, Alios governor [[Étienne Boulin]], stood down, letting Democratic candidate Andreina Rossini win the governorship.<ref name=regional>[https://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2019/07/14/2019-regional-and-local-elections-democrats-hold-and-gain-to-rule-over-the-south/ "2019 regional and local elections: Democrats hold and gain rule over the South"].

The '''Bok of Rai''' ([[Sabian language|Sabian]]: ''baraibarakurobók''; lit. "Grand Ducal Council") is the formal advisory body of the [[Grand Duchy of Rai]], a [[States of Abelden|federal state]] of the [[Abeldane Empire]]. The Bok is a [[w:Unicameralism|unicameral]] body with no binding legislative powers; rather, as described by the [[Charter of Rai]], it is a "consultative body [...] in the fashion of a council of deliberation, in order to channel [...] demands and advise the [[Monarchy of Rai|Grand Duke]] on matters of governance".<ref name=charter>[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m6YIgWOm1ooxe3eZ6mFDAzVf9tNO_XQt/view Charter of Rai], Article 5, Section "a".</ref> By political convention, the chair of the Bok is the [[Seneschal of Rai|Seneschal]], who leads the Grand Ducal government in the Rai monarch's name. The first and currently sitting Bok was constituted following the [[Abeldane federal election, June 2020|June 2020 federal election]], in which all members of the Bok were elected.<ref name=decree>[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1s7O9HBAHlyVuNS8JTEcVxKe0lq3Vtclh/view "Constitution of the Bok of Rai Decree 2020"]. Grand Duchy of Rai. 30 June 2020. Retrieved 30 June 2020.</ref><br />
<br />
==Name==<br />
The word "Bok" comes from the [[Sabian language]], officially the sole language of Rai (though by convention, the English language is the ''lingua franca'' of the Grand Duchy and the [[Abeldane Empire]] as a whole). The word means "council", "court" or "tribunal", and is also used by [[Sabia and Verona|Sabioveronese]] courts of law and the [[Electoral Commission (Sabia and Verona)|Electoral Commission]] of Sabia and Verona.<br />
<br />
Members of the Bok are known as ''bokág'' (plural ''bokagi'', collective form ''bokar''). The direct Sabian translation would be "councillor" or "councilmember", and it is formed by adding the agentive suffix ''-ág'' to the word ''bok''.<br />
<br />
==Powers and structure==<br />
The powers of the Bok are outlined in the [[Charter of Rai]], the Grand Duchy's constitutional document. According to the Charter, should the [[Monarchy of Rai|Grand Duke]] desire, "be it because of an increase in the number of citizens and therefore demands," a consultative body in the fashion of a council of deliberation may be created in order to channel these demands and advise the Grand Duke on matters of governance.<ref name=charter/> Therefore, the Bok does not have any sort of binding legislative or executive authority, but rather, it serves the function of suggesting possible political decisions and adivising the Grand Duke in matters of all sorts.<br />
<br />
The Grand Duke may decide how members of the Bok are to be selected, be it through elections among the populace, through direct appointment, or by a mixed system of both. The sitting Bok, elected in [[Abeldane federal election, June 2020|June 2020]], was partially elected through universal suffrage using the [[w:Party list|party list]] [[w:Proportional representation|proportional representation]] system in a single state-wide district, and an additional member was appointed by the Grand Duke. The Bok currently has four seats, all of which belong to the [[Batu Party]] (the sole existing party in the Grand Duchy).<ref name=decree/><br />

The '''Batu Party''' ([[Sabian language|Sabian]]: ''batugaki'') is an [[Abelden|Abeldane]] regional political party based in [[Grand Duchy of Rai|Rai]], one of the constituent states of Abelden. The word ''batu'' means "South" in the [[Sabian language]] spoken in Rai, and it is also an acronym for ''batairañ tairinená userikán'' ("Southern Board for Justice and Preservation"). It was founded and is currently led by Rai's monarch, Grand Duke [[Tarik of Sabia and Verona|Tarik Karjasari]].<br />
<br />
It was founded in June 2019 after Karjasari left [[Abeldane Social Ecology]]. The Batu Party currently holds all seat in the [[Bok of Rai]], the consultative assembly of the Grand Duchy; two of these seats were elected at the [[Abeldane federal election, June 2020|June 2020 state election]]. <br />
<br />
==Ideology==<br />
It is a [[w:Monarchism|monarchist]], [[w:Environmentalism|environmentalist]] and [[w:Regionalism|regionalist]] political party. The party advocates for the establishment of a [[w:Bicameralism|bicameral]] legislature in Abelden to ensure permanent representation for Rai in the Empire's federal government, and stands for the preservation of Rai's green areas. Additionally, Batu supports the continued use of the [[Sabian language]] as the Grand Duchy's sole official language, as it understands Rai as part of the "[[Valtirians|Valtirian nation]]".<br />

<div>{{Politics of Abelden}}<br />
[[Abelden]] is a semi-constitutional monarchy with a multi-party democratic system. Party politics occur within the framework of the legislature, a unicameral parliament known as the [[Reichsversammlung]]. Members of the Reichsversammlung are mostly elected in free elections held across the Empire, while a seat is reserved for the [[Abeldane Monarchy|Heir to the throne]] and another for an appointed member who is handpicked by the Emperor. <br />
<br />
Presently, the Reichsversammlung consists of 13 MRs. As of the [[Concordiagate]] scandal, the chamber is dissolved. Historically, parties have had to form coalitions in order to maintain stable governments; though the current [[Provisional ministry (Abelden)|Provisional ministry]], formed in July 2020, is made up of members from a single party and independents.<br />

The '''Bok of Rai''' ([[Sabian language|Sabian]]: ''baraibarakurobók''; lit. "Grand Ducal Council") is the formal advisory body of the [[Grand Duchy of Rai]], a [[States of Abelden|federal state]] of the [[Abeldane Empire]]. The Bok is a [[w:Unicameralism|unicameral]] body with no binding legislative powers; rather, as described by the [[Charter of Rai]], it is a "consultative body [...] in the fashion of a council of deliberation, in order to channel [...] demands and advise the [[Monarchy of Rai|Grand Duke]] on matters of governance".<ref name=charter>[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m6YIgWOm1ooxe3eZ6mFDAzVf9tNO_XQt/view Charter of Rai], Article 5, Section "a".</ref> By political convention, the chair of the Bok is the [[Seneschal of Rai|Seneschal]], who leads the Grand Ducal government in the Rai monarch's name. The first and currently sitting Bok was constituted following the [[Abeldane federal election, June 2020|June 2020 federal election]], in which all members of the Bok were elected.<ref name=decree>[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1s7O9HBAHlyVuNS8JTEcVxKe0lq3Vtclh/view "Constitution of the Bok of Rai Decree 2020"]. Grand Duchy of Rai. 30 June 2020. Retrieved 30 June 2020.</ref><br />
<br />
==Name==<br />
The word "Bok" comes from the [[Sabian language]], officially the sole language of Rai (though by convention, the English language is the ''lingua franca'' of the Grand Duchy and the [[Abeldane Empire]] as a whole). The word means "council", "court" or "tribunal", and is also used by [[Sabia and Verona|Sabioveronese]] courts of law and the [[Electoral Commission (Sabia and Verona)|Electoral Commission]] of Sabia and Verona.<br />
<br />
Members of the Bok are known as ''bokág'' (plural ''bokagi'', collective form ''bokar''). The direct Sabian translation would be "councillor" or "councilmember", and it is formed by adding the agentive suffix ''-ág'' to the word ''bok''.<br />
<br />
==Powers and structure==<br />
The powers of the Bok are outlined in the [[Charter of Rai]], the Grand Duchy's constitutional document. According to the Charter, should the [[Monarchy of Rai|Grand Duke]] desire, "be it because of an increase in the number of citizens and therefore demands," a consultative body in the fashion of a council of deliberation may be created in order to channel these demands and advise the Grand Duke on matters of governance.<ref name=charter/> Therefore, the Bok does not have any sort of binding legislative or executive authority, but rather, it serves the function of suggesting possible political decisions and adivising the Grand Duke in matters of all sorts.<br />
<br />
The Grand Duke may decide how members of the Bok are to be selected, be it through elections among the populace, through direct appointment, or by a mixed system of both. The sitting Bok, elected in [[Abeldane federal election, June 2020|June 2020]], was partially elected through universal suffrage using the [[w:Party list|party list]] [[w:Proportional representation|proportional representation]] system in a single state-wide district, and an additional member was appointed by the Grand Duke. The Bok currently has four seats, all of which belong to the [[Batu Party]] (the sole existing party in the Grand Duchy).<ref name=decree/><br />

*'''SUPPORT''' (Please if you support consider giving feedback) Very well-written and expanded upon, a generous amount of references, and a nice amount of images.

*'''OPPOSE''' A generally good article with many pictures and detailed sections.

I’ve been considering nominating my article for several months, but I decided to take time to improve it (particularly after all that happened as a result of the dissolution of [[Phokland]]).

*'''SUPPORT''' [[User:Sluke91|Sluke91]] ([[User talk:Sluke91|talk]]) 06:53, 8 July 2020 (UTC)<br />
*'''OPPOSE''' Lack of sources and doesn't consistently use 'academic-style' prose which should be used in a wiki page. Certian sections, for example the President and Vice President sections, should have their own pages, as the information stated is enough to secure that those particularly new pages aren't stubs. --[[User:William GF Wilson|Billiam Bilson]] 17:07, 8 July 2020 (UTC)<br />
**'''COMMENT''' Sources are not a requirement for GA on MicroWiki, additionally many other GA's have more detailed sections then this one... seems a bit brash to oppose a page because it's TOO descriptive. [[User:MissEDconexion|Guess I never Miss]] ([[User talk:MissEDconexion|talk]]) 09:21, 13 July 2020 (UTC)<br />
*'''SUPPORT''' The history section is somewhat outdated but that’s any easy fix. Overall, a pretty good and detailed article in my opinion! —[[User:GDC Navārdia|GDC Navārdia]] ([[User talk:GDC Navārdia|talk]]) 19:04, 13 July 2020 (UTC)<br />
*'''OPPOSE''' It needs easy fixing however it might take some time so I have to oppose it for now: it is far too descriptive, like 'Awards and Certificates', 'Foreign Relations' and sections of 'Government' like 'President' could be added into their own articles. Having the lyrics of your National Anthem also reads weirdly. Furthermore, 'Geography' and 'Economy' are pretty short, merging 'Economy' with 'Business' could work.

**'''COMMENT''' Hey {{ping|MissEDconexion}} 1) time is not a criteria; 2) I mean it's in the name "good article", the articles are not necessarily judged on quantity but rather its quality, how good it is. If it's a good article, I don't see why it shouldn't receive GA status. [[New Eiffel Main Route 1]] is a prime example of this.

*'''OPPOSE''' It is true that short articles can be accepted as long as they fully meet the criteria, however I have to agree with [[User:MissEDconexion|MissEDconexion]] that it should have a little more time to be expanded upon, as some sections are rather short, like 'Media and Culture'. I would say adding 'Climate' and 'Territory' into a 'Geography' section and perhaps including things like 'Natural history' could help. Also improving 'National symbols' to perhaps include the flag and other symbols if possible. {{zedsig}} 3:41 pm, 14 July 2020 (UTC+1)<br />

The '''Liberty Front''', also known by its initials as '''LF''', is an [[Abelden|Abeldane]] political party. Ideologically [[w:Centrism|centrist]] and [[w:Libertarianism|libertarian]], the party was founded by [[Edward Daniels]] as a successor to [[Liberty Union]] (LU), a splinter faction of the [[Abeldane Liberal National Alliance]] founded by Horatio Eden. The party was part of the [[Concordia (Abelden)|Concordia]] electoral alliance, but left in the aftermath of [[Concordiagate]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Liberty Front was founded on January 17, 2019 by Edward Daniels, a former member of Liberty Union. Initially, Daniels sought for Liberty Union's stability after the party's failure in the [[Abeldane federal election, December 2018|December 2018 federal election]]. Horatio Eden, the founder of Liberty Union announced that he would be dissolving the party after failing to receive any grounds in the election. Daniels hoped to succeed Eden as Leader of Liberty Union instead of dissolving the party but Eden was determined to dissolve the party in the end. Shortly after Liberty Union was dissolved, Liberty Front was founded as a successor party. Daniels announced on March 7, 2019 that he will be running for [[Vorsitzender|Vorsitzender of the Abeldane Empire]]. On March 30, Daniels was duly elected Vorsitzender of the Abeldane Empire.<br />
<br />
On the 29th of May 2019, Austin Jaax, and Conner Stumperth announced the establishment of the Libertarian-Socialist Caucus of the Liberty Front, as a Caucus to promote Libertarian-Socialist ideals within the Party, Austin Jaax was made Provisonal Director of the Caucus, while Conner Stumperth was made Provision Vice-Director. Until early July of 2020, Daniels would continue to leader the party until her departure from micronationalism. After his departure, [[Brandon Wu]] would become Liberty Front leader. From June to July 2020, Liberty Front would be a member of the [[Concordia (Abelden)|Concordia]] Alliance with the [[Pirate League (Abelden)|Pirate League]]. The alliance would dissolve after the start of [[Concordiagate]], which was a political scandal revolving the formation of the Pirate League and electoral fraud.<br />
===Policy===<br />
Liberty Front's policy is based off of a manifestation between Libertarianism, [[w:Populism|Populism]] and [[w:Nationalism|Nationalism]] to some extent. More mainstream, the party embraces liberty and [[w:Classical liberalism|Classical liberal]] ideas based off of [[w:Enlightenment|Enlightenment]] philosophers such as [[w:John Locke|John Locke]]. The party also bases much of its ideas off of [[w:Libertarianism in the United States|American libertarians]] such as [[w:Ron Paul|Ron Paul]], [[w:Larry Sharpe (politician)|Larry Sharpe]], etc. The party seeks to reform domestic policy as well as expand on states' rights by creating a balance between federal and reserved powers.<br />

<br />
The role of the monarchy in the state has greatly expanded and the Grand Duke has the power to enact decrees that serves as the main source of legislation for the state. He is advised by the State Council, the legislature of Alexander, and by the [[First Minister of Alexander|First Minister]], who serves as he head of government of Alexander.<br />
<br />
==Powers and duties==<br />
The monarch has:<br />
<br />
* The power to appoint government officials<br />
* The power to vest/appoint titles of nobility<br />
* The power to hold the title ''His Royal Highness''<br />
* The power to declare general elections<br />
* The power to veto government decisions<br />
* The power to enact decrees<br />
<br />

'''Doga Runann''', officially known as the '''Dependency of Doga Runann''' ([[Sabian language|Sabian]]: ''bakiñkoxari dogann runann''; [[w:Spanish language|Spanish]]: ''Tierra de Runa'') is a non-incorporated special dependency of the [[Sabia and Verona|Kingdom of Sabia and Verona]], and its largest territorial subdivision. It is located 360 meters Southeast of [[Alios]], completely separated from the rest of the Kingdom's Southern Territories, and it borders [[w:Argentina|Argentina]] on all sides except for a 100-meter border with [[Batori]], a territory of the [[Grand Duchy of Rai]] in the [[Abeldane Empire]]. It was claimed by Sabia and Verona in 2019 as part of the "New Frontier Plan", a project devised to acquire more green land for the Kingdom.<br />
<br />
Sabioveronese law categorizes Doga Runann as a ''dependency'', one of the two categories of second-level subdivision alongside the [[Administrative divisions of Sabia and Verona|prefecture]], and as such, is directly dependent on the government of the [[Gonn|Gonn Region]]. It is one of Gonn's two dependencies, alongside Gin Voltaxi. However, Doga Runann is administered through a special law that regulates joint rule over the area alongside the [[Government of Sabia and Verona|national government]], generally through its [[Botany Division (Sabia and Verona)|Secretary of Botany]].<br />
<br />
The territory is named after [[Runa-Lisandra Bartolucci|Runa-Lisandra, Countess of Sainte-Bérénice]], former companion of the [[House of Kârjasary|Royal House of Karjasari]]. It is a [[w:Natural reserve|natural reserve]], and accounts for over 90% of Sabia and Verona's green land. Its [[w:Wetland|wetland]] is part of the broader [[w:Matanza River|Riachuelo River basin]]. It also houses all of the country's natural water resources; the 1248.84 m<sup>2</sup>-Lake Bruñberrí covers most of its Northern area, and most of the dependency's surface floods with rainwater several times a month. Its intermicronational border with the Abeldane Empire is subject to a border treaty between the two nations signed in 2019.<ref>[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1R9l1FkHfduOk4bGhXMWG6vUurg8Ttgb6J7FRbjcRP78/edit "Abolition of Border Checks at the Rai Border (Agreement) Act"]. ''[[Reichsversammlung]]''. Retrieved 17 May 2020.</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The territory of what is now Doga Runann fell under the undisputed jurisdiction of the [[w:Buenos Aires|Autonomous City of Buenos Aires]], the capital of the [[w:Argentina|Argentine Republic]], from its inception as a territorial unit in 1880. In the 2010's, the area became part of a recreational park.<br />
<br />
In 2016, [[Pomme-Gabrielle Gauvier]] and the [[Arts Division (Sabia and Verona)|Arts Division]] filmed the short movie ''[[Proun]]'' in the Batunói Marshes.<br />
<br />
In 2018, three years after the [[Haronos Plan|arrival]] of the first [[Valtir Sector|Valtirian settlers]] to the Alios region, Sabioveronese prime minister [[Noa Dargany]] proposed claiming the territory of Doga Runann for Sabia and Verona in order to expand the Kingdom's green areas, following her [[Liberals (Sabia and Verona)|Liberal Party]]'s manifesto.<ref name=budge>[https://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2018/09/22/democrats-wont-budge-on-territorial-expansion/ "Democrats won’t budge on territorial expansion"]. ''[[The SiV Phonograph]]''. 22 September 2018. Retrieved 18 May 2020.</ref> However, the Democratic opposition, whose support was necessary in order for the project to pass through Parliament, refused to co-operate with Dargany even after several rounds of negotiations.<ref name=budge/><ref>[https://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2018/09/27/liberals-revolt-against-dargany-over-new-frontier-failure/ "Liberals revolt against Dargany over New Frontier failure"]. ''[[The SiV Phonograph]]''. 27 September 2018. Retrieved 18 May 2020.</ref><br />
<br />
On 1 October 2018, deputy PM and former Liberal leader [[Andrew Blackhorse]] formally challenged Dargany in a leadership spill, which he eventually won a week later on 7 October.<ref>[https://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2018/10/01/blackhorse-formally-challenges-darganys-party-leadership/ "Blackhorse formally challenges Dargany's party leadership".] ''[[The SiV Phonograph]]''. 1 October 2018.

<br />
The Blackhorse administration re-started New Frontier negotiations with the Opposition as soon as it took office.<ref>[https://sivfonografo.wordpress.com/2018/11/07/govt-and-opposition-re-start-new-frontier-negotiations/ "Gov’t and opposition re-start New Frontier negotiations"]. 7 November 2018.

'''''The Abeldane''''', formerly known as '''''L'Sydunche''''', is a national online newspaper in [[Abelden]] and the former official gazette of the [[Reichsregierungskabinett|Abeldane government]]. It was founded by then-[[Stephen I & II|Emperor Stephen]] on 6 June [[2014]] as ''The Abeldane Times'', and was the Empire's only newspaper until [[2017]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
''The Abeldane'' was founded on 6 June 2014, the same day when Abelden was established, by Emperor Stephen. A website was made a few months later on January 2015. Prior to that, all means of information to the public were done through the Facebook page of Abelden. It is currently owned by Emperor Stephen, but serves as the official gazette of the Empire.<br />
<br />
''The Abeldane'' was first known as ''The Abeldane Times'' from its foundation until 2017 when the ''Abeldanisation'' of all organisations and companies in Abelden were implemented. The name ''L'Sydunche'' means newspaper in the Abeldane language. It has seen several changes within its website and the present website was created to reflect the new changes. <br />
<br />
''The Abeldane'' co-operates closely with other intermicronational newspapers with whom it shares common staff, such as [[FLAMN]] and ''[[The SiV Phonograph]]''.<br />
<br />
On 12 July 2020, the newspaper renamed itself from ''L'Sydunche'' to the ''The Abeldane''.<br />

'''''The Abeldane''''', formerly known as '''''L'Sydunche''''', is a national online newspaper in [[Abelden]] and the former official gazette of the [[Reichsregierungskabinett|Abeldane government]]. It was founded by then-[[Stephen I & II|Emperor Stephen]] on 6 June [[2014]] as ''The Abeldane Times'', and was the Empire's only newspaper until [[2017]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
''The Abeldane'' was founded on 6 June 2014, the same day when Abelden was established, by Emperor Stephen. A website was made a few months later on January 2015. Prior to that, all means of information to the public were done through the Facebook page of Abelden. It is currently owned by Emperor Stephen, but serves as the official gazette of the Empire.<br />
<br />
''The Abeldane'' was first known as ''The Abeldane Times'' from its foundation until 2017 when the ''Abeldanisation'' of all organisations and companies in Abelden were implemented. The name ''L'Sydunche'' means newspaper in the Abeldane language. It has seen several changes within its website and the present website was created to reflect the new changes. <br />
<br />
''The Abeldane'' co-operates closely with other intermicronational newspapers with whom it shares common staff, such as [[FLAMN]] and ''[[The SiV Phonograph]]''.<br />
<br />
On 12 July 2020, the newspaper renamed itself from ''L'Sydunche'' to the ''The Abeldane''.<br />

It was founded in August 2017 as a merger between the [[Social Ecology Party of Abelden]] and the [[Labour Party of Abelden|Labour Party]], expecting to fill the gap of left-wing political forces in Abelden. During its existence it produced three [[Vorsitzender|Vorsitzende]] ([[Newton von Uberquie|Von Uberquie]], [[Artemis Langford|Langford]] and [[Tarik of Sabia and Verona|Karjasari]]) and was a major player in Abeldane politics, either participating in coalition governments or as the main opposition party in the [[Reichsversammlung]]. <br />
<br />
After a string of defections of some of its most prominent members, ASE saw a decrease in popularity and became the smallest party in the Empire after the [[Abeldane federal election, December 2019|December 2019 federal election]]. In preparation for the [[Abeldane federal election, June 2020|June 2020 election]], the party agreed to merge with the [[Party of Royalists and Cooperatism]] in May 2020 to form the [[Party of Royalists and Greens]], which itself would only exist for a couple of months until it merged with the [[Abeldane National Union]] to form the [[National Royalists - The Green Union|NRGU]] in July 2020.<br />

==History==<br />
[[File:Von Uberquie Vorsitzender 1217.png|thumb|right|200px|Poster supporting [[Newton von Uberquie]]'s nomination for Vorsitzender in the [[Abeldane federal election, December 2017|December 2017 election]].]]<br />
The party was founded as the [[Social Ecology Party of Abelden]] (SEPA) on the 6 June 2017 by [[Newton von Uberquie]], following the [[Abeldane federal election, June 2017|June 2017 federal election]]. Shortly after its formation, SEPA was invited to support the [[Third Renwick Ministry|governing coalition]] led by [[Vorsitzender]] [[Patrick Renwick]]. That same day, the [[Ministry of Interior and Security (Abelden)|Interior and Security Minister]] [[Artemis Langford]] defected from the ruling [[Abeldane National Party]] to join SEPA, granting the new party its first cabinet position. <br />
<br />
On 9 August 2017, in the midst of the campaign for the [[Abeldane federal election, August 2017|August 2017 federal election]], the [[Labour Party of Abelden|Labour Party]] and SEPA held talks to form a unified leftist party. The two parties agreed to form Abeldane Social Ecology - The Green Labour Party (ASE-GLP), which contested in the election with von Uberquie and Langford as candidates for Vorsitzender and [[Stellvertreter]], respectively.<ref>Chkaya, Babou.

<br />
The August 2017 election resulted in a great success for ASE, as both von Uberquie and Langford were elected to office and the party became the largest in the [[Reichsversammlung]]. Von Uberquie formed the [[Von Uberquie Ministry|26th ministry]] on 23 August 2017, in coalition with the [[Independence Party of Abelden]] and the [[Abeldane National Party]] (which merged into the [[Abeldane National Independence Party]] shortly thereafter).<ref name=coalition>Freayth, Stephen.

<br />
Following von Uberquie's departure, Langford was elected Representative of ASE on 27 September 2017. Ahead of the [[Abeldane federal election, December 2017|December 2017 election]], Langford was chosen unanimously as the party's Vorsitzender candidate. The possibility of contesting Stellvertreter candidates in a simultaneous open primary was discussed by the party's membership, but eventually an agreement was reached with the [[Abeldane National Independence Party|National Independence Party]] to endorse the campaign of ANIP leader and incumbent Stellvertreter [[Patrick Renwick]] in exchange for ANIP's support in Langford's campaign. However, after poor results in the polls, Langford decided to step down as the party's candidate and on 7 December 2017 von Uberquie became once again ASE's Vorsitzender candidate.<ref name=fifth>Karjasari, Tarik.

<br />
ASE would continue to primarily occupy the opposition benches, except during the [[w:national unity government|national unity governments]] of ASE’s [[Kârjasary ministry|Tarik Kârjasary]] and the [[Liberty Front]]’s [[First Daniels ministry|Edward Daniels]]. By late 2019 however the party was back Leader the opposition, however would suffer its worst results ever in the [[Abeldane federal election, December 2019|December 2019 election]], winning only 1 seat. As a result of this, the party eventually merged with its nearest ideological ally, the [[Party of Royalists and Cooperatism]] in May 2020.<br />
<br />
==Ideology and platform==<br />
[[File:ASEofficial.png|thumb|right|200px|ASE poster for the August 2017 election.]]<br />
Abeldane Social Ecology's main ideological base was the concept of [[w:Social ecology|social ecology]], developed by the American libertarian socialist author [[w:Murray Bookchin|Murray Bookchin]]. It advocated a reconstructive and transformative outlook on social and environmental issues, and promoted [[w:Direct democracy|directly democratic]] and [[w:Democratic confederalism|confederal politics]].<br />
<br />
As outlined in the SEPA manifesto for the [[Abeldane federal election, August 2017|August 2017 election]], the party was against citizensharing and inactivity within government ranks. It supported the creation of protected areas under communal control and citizens' assemblies in all federal states. It supported promoting the Empire's culture through state-sposored action, and further integration of people from all social backgrounds. The party was for LGBTQ+ and minority rights.<ref>Von Uberquie, Newton. [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1krsuK3mEisL4ThjE1iOJBb54TZLcnwmgX0xDBp_Rtdc/edit Manifesto of 2017]. ''The Social Ecology Party of Abelden''. Retrieved 9 August 2017.</ref><br />
<br />
Abeldane Social Ecology opted for directly democratic collective leadership of all of it's members. Motions of party policy were voted upon by an open ballot of all the members of the party, before which a motion was judged by the active General Secretary as to whether it aligned with the goals of the movement. Therefore, the General Secretary was the only office in the party with any degree of unilateral authority. The role of the Representative was to communicate the results of motions, and thus all of ASE's policy, to the greater community. Therefore, the Representative was often seen, mistakenly, as the Leader of ASE. However, the party maintained that it has no single active leader.<br />

<div>The '''states of Abelden''' are the member states of the [[Abeldane Empire]]. It is a federation of monarchies, based upon the former German Empire where all or most of the states are monarchies. Since June 2016, Abelden has been a federation following a referendum on the matter and a new constitution was enacted. Presently, there are six states; three of which are kingdoms, two of which are grand duchies and one which is an archduchy. <br />

{{Abelden infobox}}<br />
'''Abelden''', officially the '''Abeldane Empire and the Commonwealth'''<ref>'''German''': ''Abeldänisches Kaiserreich und dessen Commonwealth'' '''French''': ''Empire abeldanais et le Commonwealth''. The full name is used rarely, only applied on special documents. The prefix ''The'' is a part of the full name in English.</ref> or more commonly the '''Abeldane Empire''' ([[w:German|German]]: ''Abeldanisches Kaiserreich '' [[w:French|French]]: ''Empire abeldanais''), is a self-declared independent nation-state (more commonly referred to as a [[micronation]] by outsiders) with claims in North America, Asia, Europe, Africa, Oceania and Antarctica. The Empire has three capital cities, [[Pleston]], [[Alexton]] and [[East Halyards]], which are all located within the state of [[Alenshka]].<br />
<br />
The Empire was originally founded as a unitary state, as successor state of the [[Militarmia|Empire of Militarmia]]. It’s current federal model was introduced in 2016 following a referendum on the transformation to a federation. The Abeldane federal states have previously been members of the [[Abeldane Commonwealth]] before their accession as states following federalization in 2016. The government is mostly based on the former [[w:German Empire|German Empire]], and the Empire maintains democratic values and basic micronational ideas to be integrated everywhere. Cultural diversity has a prominent place in the history of Abelden. People from Abelden are known as Abeldanes.<br />
<br />
Abelden operates under a system of [[w:federal monarchy|federal]] [[w:hereditary monarchy|hereditary]] [[w:constitutional monarchy|constitutional monarchy]] with a [[w:parliamentary system|parliamentary democracy]]. The Empire consists of six federal states. Each federal state is headed by its own monarch and may also include a head of government, with state of [[Alenshka]] being the seat of the [[Abeldane Monarchy]]. The King of Alenshka serves as [[Abeldane Monarchy|Abeldane Emperor]] (female form Empress) and is formally vested with extensive executive power, though this is traditionally exercised by the elected government headed by the [[Vorsitzender]]. Abelden has a [[w:unicameralism|unicameral]] federal [[w:legislature|legislature]] named the [[Reichsversammlung]] which holds legislative power. The current reigning Emperor, since his accession in May 2020 is [[Nick Kaos|Nicholas]] of the Imperial House of Kaos, with [[Patrick Renwick]] serving as [[Vorsitzender]] from the [[National Royalists]].<ref>Karjasari, Tarik. [https://lsydunche.wordpress.com/2020/07/10/reichsversammlung-dissolved-and-executive-elections-postponed-as-renwick-is-restored-to-vorsitzendership/ "Reichsversammlung dissolved and executive elections postponed as Renwick is restored to Vorsitzendership"] ''[[L'Sydunche]]''. 10 July 2020. Retrieved 12 July 2020.</ref><br />
<br />
Abelden is a "Fifth World" micronation, scoring 11/12 on [[Classification of micronations#The Boodlesmythe-Tallini System of Classification|Boodlesmythe-Tallini System]] and scoring 4.4 out of a 5 on [[Classification of micronations#David's Micronational Potential Index|David's Micronational Potential Index]] and 5.3 out of a 6 on [[Classification of micronations#Freayth's System of Classification|Freayth's System of Classification]]<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name came from a list of names that supposedly rhymed with [[Alenshka]], a nation that is now a state within Abelden and considered as one of its predecessors. Alenshka originated from the Russian name of ''Alexei'', which came from [[w:Alexei Nikolaevich, Tsarevich of Russia|Tsarevich Alexei of Russia]], the only son of the executed Romanov family.<br />
<br />
The official name of Abelden is '''The Abeldane Empire and the Commonwealth''', with the shorter version of the official name, '''The Abeldane Empire''', being more commonly used on government documents. The longer version is used more formally on treaties and official agreements with other micronations and organisations. The government advocates the usage of the shorter name due to the confusion between the demonym, ''Abeldane'', and the shorter name, ''Abelden''. The term '''The Empire''' is also often used to refer to Abelden, especially internally.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
:''Main article: [[History of Abelden]]''<br />
<br />
===Background===<br />
[[File:Alexton capital.jpg|thumb|left|300px|The Governor's House in [[Alexton]].]]<br />
In August 2012, [[Stephen Freayth]] established [[Militarmia]], originally a Grand Republic then an empire afterwards, with [[Rachel Burklandssen|Kaushik Legata]] and [[Donald West]]. The foundation of Militarmia would eventually lead to several events that will form Abelden in the end. Militarmia was an absolute monarchy and originally was supposed to be a militaristic cultured nation, but soon changed into a more absolute and Westminster style of government and monarchy through the transition. <br />
<br />
On 18 August 2013, a year after the foundation of Militarmia, Emperor Stephen abdicated the throne in favour of Kaushik Legata, who took the regnal name of Ausolius. Subsequently, Freayth became the Prime Minister after becoming Emperor and would remain in the position until his own abdication after two months and Freayth would return to the throne and oversee the rest of the Empire. Militarmia briefly became a kingdom for a few days on December 2013 then reverted back to being an empire afterwards.<br />
<br />
While a relatively stable nation, Militarmia often rocked into instability particularly on threats of the King to abdicate and in 2014, there were more often changes to the premiership than in 2012 and 2013. Five prime ministers were appointed from the beginning of 2014 until its dissolution. During this period, Militarmia's activity had greatly increased and prominent members or citizens from the Sorrennian Federation started to become involved in the running of the government of Militarmia. Donald West was in particularly a member of the Sorrenian government and had very close ties with Miles Pressland, the then-leader of Sorrenia. <br />
<br />
As Emperor Stephen increasingly considered abdicating, the government was becoming a puppet of Sorrenia and therefore this worried the Emperor. Although not considering this, he then surprisingly decided to abdicate finally on April 2014 in favour of Trystan Cline, the Prime Minister, and left the Empire and had given up all administration rights of the Facebook group where business was conducted. Regretting this decision, after a few days abdicating from the throne, Stephen decided to ask Emperor Trystan for the throne once again and handover the rights of the administration back to him but did not result into anything and instead Miles of Pressland was given the administrative powers of the group and technically the rule over the government. <br />
<br />
After the decision by the Emperor, Stephen decided to take matter into his own hands and setup a group chat to resolve the matter, which did not result in anything. By this time, there was a turbulent crisis and Miles had decided to take over the government and change the Empire to a democratic republic, which Stephen did not approve.<br />
<br />
Afterwards, a compromise was reached with Miles and a new group was created by Stephen that united both Republicans and Monarchists factions. The new nation was to be a kingdom and the Monarch will have little to no power at all, essentially creating a constitutional monarchy, and the Prime Minister having all the power. Stephen became the King, with the former King Trystan the Prime Minister and Miles himself as Deputy Prime Minister. <br />
<br />
[[File:DecOfIndAbel.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The original document of the Establishment Document.]]<br />
Elections for Prime Minister were held afterwards, in which Pressland was elected and Cline was appointed as Deputy Prime Minister. Angry with the result, Stephen refused the results of the election and abdicated afterwards on 15 April 2014. Pressland declared Militarmia to be a Democratic Republic following his abdication. The idea for a new micronation had been set by Freayth following his abdication and he established Alenshka on the very same day as an Empire and became its Emperor with citizens mostly from Militarmia. <br />
<br />
===Foundation===<br />
Militarmia had lost most of its activity by June and the foundations for a replacement for Alenshka had begun. Freayth collaborated with Legata on the formation of a new Empire that will replace both Militarmia and Alenshka as his primary micronation. At 1 o'clock in the morning of 6 June 2014 (UTC +4), Freayth draw up in what is known as the Establishment Document, which formally established Abelden and became the Emperor of Abelden. Legata had already set up the new flag of the nation, which remains the flag of the Empire today. A day after the formation of Abelden, Stephen announced the merger of Militarmia and Alenshka under a new single Empire of Militarmia and established the second Militarmian Parliament with West being the Speaker. Those two acts would become the last known interaction in the group of Militarmia and would ''de facto'' seal the fate of Militarmia and bringing it to an end after more than 2 years in existence.<br />
<br />
After the foundation of Abelden, several or most of the former citizens of Militarmia joined Abelden and were the founding citizens of Abelden. Legamilitarmia, a condominium state between [[Legatia]] and Militarmia, was renamed to [[Legabelden]] following the establishment of Abelden. Alenshka entered into a personal union with Abelden from the beginning of Abelden's existence until late August 2014, when it was broken off and Alenshka became a nominal independent state. <br />
<br />
===Three reigns===<br />
[[File:Donald West.jpg|thumb|left|175px|[[Donald of Abelden]], who was [[Abeldane Monarchy|Emperor]] of Abelden from 16 December 2014 until 25 December 2014.]]<br />
In late summer of 2014, Stephen abdicated in favor of [[Rachel I of Abelden|Rachel]]. He abdicated in order 'to focus on his studies and spend more of his time on real life activities' and indicated that he wouldn't return to micronationalism unless it was important. Remaining as the founder of Abelden, Stephen retained powers to be used only during coups and wars as prescribed by the constitution and thus Rachel became Empress on 24 September 2014 after signing his abdication document.<ref>Freayth, Stephen. [http://abeldanetimes.weebly.com/news/emperor-stephanus-abdicates "Emperor Stephen abdicates"] ''Abeldane Times''. Retrieved 28 January 2015.</ref><br />
<br />
There was much inactivity during Rachel's reign. From September till December, there was no activity other than people asking "why are there no activities or posts in the group?". Rachel abdicated in favor of [[Donald West|Donald]] on 16 December 2014 stating her reason for abdicating was that she needed to focus on her studies. Henceforth, Donald became Emperor on 16 December 2014 at 16:13 in the evening.<ref> Freayth,<br />

Retrieved 28 January 2015.</ref> <br />
<br />
On 27 December 2014, the Kingdom of Darmania was abolished as the nation had descended into deep inactivity. All titles and all governmental positions were abolished with this effective act. <br />
<br />
Abelden held its first general elections from 8 January 2015 until 10 January 2015 with the voting held in the group lounge of Abelden.<ref>Freayth,<br />
Stephen. [http://abeldanetimes.weebly.com/news/general-elections-results "General Elections January 2015 results"] ''Abeldane Times''. Retrieved 28 January 2015.</ref> [[Andrew Janiszewski]] won the position as [[Prime Minister of Abelden|Prime Minister]], defeating HM King Michael I and [[Donald of Abelden|the Duke of Pleston]]. The Emperor also introduced new positions, which were voted on for the first time in this election. <br />
<br />
The second general election commenced on 28 February 2015. [[Donald of Abelden|Duke of Pleston]] won the majority of positions, but at that time, an individual could only hold a maximum of three positions. Emperor Stephen appointed other citizens to the rest of the positions. The end of the elections saw the start of the 2015 Abeldane crisis.<br />
<br />
The 2015 Abeldane crisis was a series of events that happened between 1 March 2015 until 8 March 2015. Newly elected Deputy Prime Minister [[Michael Thomas Brazeau]] was criticized for his views about opposing certain liberal ideas. The [[Prime Minister of Abelden|Prime Minister]], [[Andrew Janiszewski]], then started a petition on impeaching the Deputy Prime Minister and Brazeau promptly resigned as Deputy Prime Minister. A series of Prime Ministers were also appointed and the decision making of [[Stephen of Abelden|Emperor Stephen]] was criticized. [[Stephen of Abelden|Emperor Stephen]] then stepped down from the throne and enacted Act 6 (Election terms) and 7 (Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs) as his last decrees. On 8 March, he ended the conflicts and reappointed [[Andrew Janiszewski]] as Prime Minister again and abdicated the throne for the second time and the throne passed to [[Donald of Abelden|Emperor Donald]]. <br />
<br />
The crisis saw an increase, then decrease, in citizenship and loss of interest within the Empire. It was the first time that the reserved powers of the Emperor were ever used. Brazeau and Benjamin Norris were expelled from Abelden following the crisis. The position of Prime Minister was abolished from 4 until 5 March 2015, when the Duke of Pleston, who was the Emperor Donald, became the Prime Minister as well.<br />
<br />
[[Stephen of Abelden|Emperor Stephen]] then became the Emperor of [[Munkkia]] from 6 March 2015 until 9 March 2015. The former Emperor stepped down from the throne after realising that he held dual micronational citizenship: [[Nation of Munkkia|Munkkia]] was exclusively for Munnkians only.<br />
<br />
===Intermediate period===<br />
[[File:SF.jpg|thumb|right|201px|[[Stephen I & II]] was the Emperor of Abelden for a third time between 24 March 2015 and 24 March 2018.]]<br />
On 24 March 2015, Emperor Stephen became Emperor for the third time following the abdication of Emperor Donald. The third general election was held on 15 July 2015, with all citizens running for election. The general election saw the first use of an online voting system. A group of people were called to vote online as a test from the Imperial Government.<ref>Freayth, Stephen. [https://abeldanetimes.wordpress.com/2015/07/16/2015-general-election-results "July 2015 Third General Elections results"] ''Abeldane Times''. Retrieved 7 August 2015</ref> On 4 August 2015, the Federal Republic of Demirelia joined as the fourth member of the Commonwealth, but under slightly different provisions than the other three: Demirelia was to continue as a full member of the Commonwealth for two and a half months, after which it would gain full independence.<br />
<br />
On 7 August 2015, Emperor Stephen enacted Act 9 (Neutrality), a law that protects Abelden's neutrality in all cases. The act also describes that the Abeldane people may only declare war if the majority of the citizens agreed to do so.<br />
<br />
A new Abeldane Constitution was enacted on 5 October 2015 after a referendum was held on the same day, with the majority of voters agreeing to the constitution. The Constitution was officially enacted and promulgated throughout the Empire and the Commonwealth through an Act of the Parliament. [[Llewelyn Lawton]] was re-elected as [[Vorsitzender]] on [[Abeldane general elections, December 2015|24 December 2015]] and [[Harry, Duke of Johnstown]] was elected as [[Stellvertreter]] for the first time.

On 24 March 2016, Emperor Stephen celebrated his Paper Jubilee, his first year of reign as [[Monarchy of Abelden|Emperor of Abelden]] and Monarchs of the other Commonwealth nations. This was celebrated with a commemorative banknote issued by the [[Imperial Central Bank]] and a grant of personal arms by the [[Instürwappadel]]. The titles of the Abeldane Monarch were altered and peerages were granted to citizens in commemoration of the occassion.<ref>Freayth, Stephen.

In June 2016, Emperor Stephen completed perhaps the largest reform in all of Abeldane history, by annexing most of the member states of the Abeldane Commonwealth. A referendum was announced on 26 June 2016 throughout the Empire and the Commonwealth which was to be held on 30 June.<ref>Freayth,<br />

<br />
That same month, Stephen wrote a twenty-page constitution to replace the former one, due to the large changes in the empire. From late June to early July, Stephen reformed the Reichsversammlung, thus appointing a new Vorsitzender and Stellvertreter, as well as new members of parliament from each state. [[Emiel Hardy]] became Vorsitzender, and Isaac Reuel became Stellvertreter.<br />
<br />
The Empire oversaw several changes during its federalisation, one of which was the abdication of King Dallin I as King of St. Castle because of his retirement from the micronational community. Emiel Hardy replaced him as King and Nuri van Dijk replaced Ned Gunderson as Grand Prince of Sinoland. <ref>Freayth, Stephen.

During the first 4 months of the federal Empire, Abelden saw 3 federal states, Glaciania, Leganisberg, and Deoter, become part of [[Alenshka]]. [[East Nedland]] seceded from the Empire on September 2016 after a referendum and request by the Prince Edward I. Abelden oversaw the creation of the Grand Principality of Teodoria as the 13th federal state, headed by Grand Prince Lars. Two more states soon joined the Empire: the Duchy of Raonheim and the [[Landgraviate of Satirno]], thereby making up the present number of states in the Empire.<br />
<br />
On 26 October 2016, a [[Abeldane monarchical referendum, 2016|referendum about the Monarchy]] was held which asked voters if they had confidence in the Monarchy and the Emperor. The vote, which was open to registered and non-registered voters, passed easily with a majority of 90.2% in favour of supporting the Monarchy and the Emperor.<ref>Freayth, Stephen.

[[Henry Twain]], who was elected as Vorsitzender on [[Abeldane general election, February 2017|27 February 2017]] and garnered most of the seats in the Reichsversammlung, formed the first grand coalition in Abeldane history and has been a precedent to successive governments after him. Twain resigned on 29 March 2017 following his elevation as Acting Chair to the [[Grand Unified Micronational]]. <br />
<br />
On [[Abeldane federal election, June 2017|5 June 2017]], [[Patrick Renwick]] was reelected for a second term as Vorsitzender and won the largest landslide since [[Horatio Eden]]'s victory in the [[Abeldane general election, October 2016|October 2016 general election]]. The election also set a record for having the largest turnout as well in Abeldane electoral history, where a turnout of 95% of the registered voters voted.<br />
<br />
===From absolutism to democracy===<br />
[[File:Shiro and Gordon.jpg|thumb|right|230px|Shiro (right) was elected as Vorsitzender in December 2017.]]<br />
As the Empire slowly became more active than ever before, there were calls for a more democratic system to be installed, particularly in the way members of the Reichsversammlung were chosen. As Emperor Stephen increasingly appointed MPs that came from [[Abeldane Social Ecology]], a party formed in June 2017, their MPs soon were the largest in the Reichsversammlung and thus the process for having an elected legislature was accelerated due to the efforts of their leader, [[Newton von Uberquie]].<br />
<br />
Abelden held its first-ever legislative elections on [[Abeldane federal election, August 2017|20 August 2017]], in which the [[Abeldane Social Ecology]] won most of the seats and votes. The legislative elections followed the single-transferable voting system and two days after, the Vorsitzender and Stellvertreter elections were held using the same system and in which [[Newton von Uberquie]] and [[Artemis Langford]], both from the Abeldane Social Ecology, won the positions respectively.<ref>Kârjasary, Tarik. [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4q6OFW3sAPCRGRQcGYwOGdqU0k/view "Reichswahlkommission Official Report - Abeldane elections, August 2017] ''Reichswahlkommission''.

<br />
By December 2017, federal elections were due to occur again. There was a constitutional concern with the Elections Act, changing the voting system to [[w:Party list|a party list system]]. However, after a constitutional plebiscite, the elections occurred from the 15th to the 20th of December in 2017. Shiro of the newly formed [[United Rhinoceros Party of Abelden|United Rhinoceros Party]] was elected Vorsitzender and [[Patrick Renwick]] of the newly merged [[Abeldane National Independence Party]] (formerly the Abeldane National Party and Abeldane National Independence Party) was elected Stellvertreter. The election was quite controversial, as electoral fraud causing the first result of the executive election returned Newton von Uberquie incorrectly as Vorsitzender. However, this was overturned by the Reichswahlkommission which led to a revote of the Vorsitzender/Stellvertretar race. Investigations into the fraud are still ongoing, and the government has yet to name a suspect, though has confirmed that the suspect is one of the citizens of the Emperor's state of Alenshka. Soon after, on 24 December 2017, the [[Merrell Ministry|28th Ministry]] was announced, comprising of members of ANIP, URP, and NFP (as well as Tarik Karjasari of ASE).<br />
<br />
===Reign of Nicholas and inactivity===<br />
On 10 January 2018, Emperor Stephen decided to go on a long term hiatus from Abelden, and thus Prince Regent Nicholas began leading the micronation on 12 January 2018. Two months later, on 24 March, the third year of his reign, Stephen abdicated the throne, and Nicholas ascended to the throne as Emperor Nicholas.<ref>Freayth, Stephen.

Retrieved 28 May 2020.</ref> He was acclaimed as Emperor on the same day in the presence of all members of the [[Reichsversammlung]].<br />
<br />
[[Alejandro Whyatt]] was elected as Vorsitzender in the April 2018 elections but soon after the elections, inactivity had hit its lowest in the Empire since 2015 and the Whyatt Ministry was known for its inability to fulfill its promise during the elections.<br />
<br />
On the 18th of May 2018, the [[Landgraviate of Satirno]] seceded to become a federal state of the [[Nordkavn Federation]].<br />
<br />
In June of 2018, following a period of personal and national inactivity, Emperor Nicholas announced his intention to abdicate in favor of the then-[[Newton von Uberquie|Prince Regent Newton]], who was first in line. On 16 June 2018, Newton officially ascended to the throne as Emperor Newton I. Among his first actions were declaring a snap election on June 21st, and appointing the former Emperor Stephen, who had returned to Abeldane politics, Ervecysarich and first in line to the throne.<br />
<br />
===Reign of Newton===<br />
[[File:15 tk.jpg|thumb|left|180px|[[Tarik Kârjasary]], who was elected as [[Vorsitzender]] in December 2017, oversaw major reforms within the government.]]<br />
Following the abdication of Emperor Nicholas, Ervecysarich Newton assumed the throne on 16 June 2018 and became the second person after Nicholas to come from a different house other than the three founding houses. One of his first actions as Emperor were declaring a snap federal election on 21 June, and appointing the former Emperor Stephen, who had returned to Abeldane politics, Ervecysarich and first in line to the throne. <br />
<br />
Freayth, who ran under the [[Die Rechte]] ticket, formerly called the National Federalist Party, won the election for Vorsitzender in a landslide against Artemis Langford, of [[Abeldane Social Ecology]]. In the Stellvertreter election, Max Pollack won all of the votes with no opponents during the election. In the Reichsversammlung elections, Die Rechte captured all 4 of the 16 seats up for election, winning in total 10 out of the 16 seats in the Reichvsersammlung, and became the first party to successfully form a single party majority in the Reichsversammlung and using that majority, he also formed the first single party majority government in Abelden and the first one-party government since Donald West.<br />
<br />
Several reforms were instituted following the elections and one important reform was the enactment of a new constitution. The constitution, which was prepared by the delegates of the Reichsversammlung and by Anthony Clark, was enacted on September 2018 by the Emperor due to the inability of the Reichsversammlung to convene and all previous laws with the exemption of some were all repealed, including Imperial Decrees. A new law called the Code of Abelden was also enacted by the Emperor on the same day, which set out some new laws for the Empire. The total number of states were also reduced from 10 to 5 and all the affected states were merged into other states.<br />
<br />
On August 2018, Abelden became a founding member of the [[Konmalehth]], an organisation whose aim is to promote a close relationship between its members through cultural and economical means. It was also joined by [[Pacem]], a long time ally of Abelden, [[Legatia]] and [[Uberquiesenberg]]. Other nations like [[Sabia and Verona]] and [[Atovia]] soon joined.<br />
<br />
[[Tarik Kârjasary]] of [[ASE|Social Ecology]] was elected as Vorsitzender and [[Nicholas Kaos]] of Die Rechte as Stellvertreter on the last simultaneous election of the executive and the legislative branch of the government.<ref>Karjasary, Tarik.

His ministry saw major changes from 2018 finally implemented such as the term limit and the staggering of elections between the executive and legislative.<br />
<br />
===Decentralisation===<br />
[[File:Pavlebach.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Pavlebach, a city in [[Alenshka]], was formed due to the expansion of the state for more land and residents.]]<br />
[[Edward Daniels]], former Stellvertrer under the Second Freayth Ministry, was elected Vorsitzender in March 2019 for [[Liberty Front]].<ref>Freayth, Stephen.

This was marked by the successful politicisation of Morgannwg and Tusmore, and the reoccupation of the defunct Alexander and Rai governments. <br />
<br />
The year 2019 was notable for the events of the [[Behemothgate]], in which accusations of espionage lead to the expulsion of several prominent members of the [[Behemoth Party]], and eventually a mass migration away by most of the party members from Abelden. The period also marked the rise of the [[Party of Royalists and Cooperatism]] as the second largest party in the empire, and the fall of [[Abeldane Social Ecology]] and [[Liberty Front]] to minor parties.<ref>Renwick, Patrick.

<br />
As states became more active at the expense of the federal government, several states saw a change in their leaderships and governments because of reforms and changes. [[Alexander]] saw their long-time Grand Duke Max replaced by [[Nicholas Randouler]] after pressure was made to the Emperor by the Reichsregierungskabinett and other concerned citizens.<ref>Freayth, Stephen.

==Geography==<br />
{{Main|States of Abelden}}<br />
<br />
The Abeldane Empire consists of six federal states, the largest of which is the [[Kingdom of Morgannwg]]. Before the federalisation of Abelden, all federal states were either independent or were a part of an another independent state before joining, or were created in the Empire. The [[Kingdom of Alenshka]] is the permanent seat of the [[Abeldane Monarchy]], and therefore the King of Alenshka is the Emperor of the Abeldane Empire. Originally, Abelden was composed of 15 federal states. Three duchies were annexed to Alenshka on the 10 September 2016.<ref>Freayth,<br />

Retrieved 26 October 2016.</ref> The federal states are divided into 4 kingdoms and 2 grand duchies each ruled by their respective monarchs.<br />
<br />
Before the federalisation in 2016, Abelden was divided into administrative regions and each administrative regions were further divided into cities. Administrative regions were headed by a Governor and cities were headed by a Mayor. The administrative regions were named based on their regional location and all administrative regions located in the United States either had the word 'west' in their names. <br />
<br />
Abelden's capitals are [[Pleston]] and [[Alexton]], both symbolising the two continents where Abelden's claims originated from; Pleston is located in Asia while Alexton is located in North America. Both cities are part of [[Alenshka]] and are at the same time the co-capitals of the Kingdom.<br />
<br />
[[Abeldane Crown Dependency|Crown Dependencies]], which are autonomous territories but federal laws or state laws do not specifically apply to any of the territories unless specially enacted into law by the [[Reichsversammlung]]; however they fall under Abeldane sovereignty and the Crown is directly responsible for governing it, through High Commissioners.<br />

==Government and politics==<br />
{{Politics of Abelden}}<br />
Abelden is a [[w:Federalism|federal]], [[w:Parliamentary system|parliamentary democracy]] with a hereditary, [[w:Constitutional monarchy|constitutional]] and [[w:Absolute monarchy|absolute]] [[w:Monarchy|monarchy]] headed by the [[Abeldane Monarchy|Emperor of the Abeldane Empire]], with the [[Monarchy of Alenshka|King of Alenshka]] permanently holding the title and ''primus inter pares'', or first among equals, among the other federal monarchs. The basic laws of the Empire is prescribed in the [[Abeldane Constitution|Constitution]]. The current constitution was adopted in 2018. The constitution grants the Monarch, known as the Emperor of the Abeldane Empire and King of Alenshka, executive powers. The federal government, officially known as ''His Imperial and Royal Exalted Majesty's Government'' or also known as the ''Imperial Government'', consists of ministers in the government and are responsible for the daily governance of the entire Empire through their respective duties as prescribed in the law headed by the [[Vorsitzender]], who is the head of government, and is assisted by the [[Stellvertreter]] and various ministers within his Cabinet.<ref>[http://abelden.weebly.com/about.html About] ''Imperial Abeldane Government'' Retrieved 28 December 2016.</ref><br />
<br />
===Structure===<br />
<br />
:''Main articles: [[Reichsregierungskabinett]] and [[Reichsversammlung]]''<br />
<br />
The [[Monarchy of Abelden|Monarch]] is the head of state of the Empire and as such is the head of the ''Crown'', which in turn is the state in all aspects and the legal embodiment of the executive, legislative and judicial governance in the Monarchy. The Monarch has the right to appoint and dismiss ministers or any members of the Imperial Government and is counselled on the matters of state by the [[Vorsitzender]] and the [[Cabinet of Abelden]]. The Monarch is a semi-constitutional monarch as the Monarch is subjected into the laws of the Empire, but may also do some independent decisions without consent. Constantly, the rule is mostly ignored and the Monarch is more of an absolute Monarch; hence why the presence of the Monarch is important to the activity and health of the Empire.<ref>[http://abelden.weebly.com/the-imperial-and-royal-monarchy.html The Imperial and Royal Monarchy] ''Imperial Abeldane Government'' Retrieved 28 December 2016.</ref> <br />
<br />
[[File:P Renwick2.jpg|thumb|200px|left|[[Patrick Renwick]], the incumbent [[Vorsitzender]].]]<br />
Under the Crown is the Imperial Government, which maintains the daily governance of the Empire and ensures the well-being of its citizens. In a legal sense, the Crown is the legal embodiment of all the three branches in the Imperial Government and as such the names ''His Imperial and Royal Exalted Majesty's Government'' is where it derives from. The Imperial Government is divided into three: the Emperor-in-Council (the executive), the Emperor-in-Parliament (the legislative) and the Emperor-in-Court (the judiciary). <br />
<br />
The [[Reichsregierungskabinett]] is the main body in the executive that is entirely composed of ministers and secretaries who are appointed by the Monarch or the Vorsitzender. All members are accountable to the Reichsversammlung, where all of the ministers must be a member of and cannot become a member of the cabinet unless he/she is an MP. The cabinet is headed by the [[Vorsitzender]], who is the head of the cabinet.<br />
<br />
The [[Vorsitzender]] is the head of the government, who is directly elected by the people and/or appointed by the Monarch. The [[Vorsitzender]] has virtually the same power as the Monarch and, like the Monarch, everything must be approved by the [[Reichsversammlung]]. The Vorsitzender has the power to enact his/her own laws, with a direct approval of the Monarch and the Reichsversammlung and has the power to overturn the declaration of war made by the Monarch. The [[Stellvertreter]] acts as the deputy of the Vorsitzender in the event that the Vorsitzender may become incapacitated, lose contact, or resigns. The Stellvertreter, like the Vorsitzender, is also elected by the people and, before 2017, was one of the two directly elected officials in the Imperial Government.<br />
<br />
The [[Reichsversammlung]] is the legislature of the Empire and acts, at present, as the united unicameral legislatures of all the federal states. Members, who are known formally as ''Members of the Reichsversammlung'' or MP/MR, are elected every four months and represents districts, of which there are five districts divided by state, and are elected by single-transferable voting system. Previously, members were appointed by the Monarch and the only way members could gain a seat if a vacancy occurred in one of the seats availavble. Acts passed by the Reichsversammlung are usually done in the name of the Monarch and are known as an [[Acts of the Parliament in Abelden|Act of the Parliament]].<ref>[http://reichsversammlung.weebly.com/about.html About] ''Reichsversammlung'' Retrieved 28 December 2016.</ref><br />
<br />
Since 10 July 2020, [[Patrick Renwick]] of the [[National Royalists]] has been [[Vorsitzender]], leading the [[Provisional ministry (Abelden)|Provisional ministry]], which is in a [[w:provisional government|provisional government]] consisting of the National Royalists, formed in the aftermath of the [[Concordiagate]] scandal. Renwick’s [[Stellvertreter]] is [[James Frisch]], an [[w:independent politician|independent]].<br />
<br />
The judiciary of the Empire is divided into two parts: the federal courts and the state courts. The judiciary has extensive powers of judicial review. There are three tiers of federal court: first-tier federal court, circuit court and the [[Reichshöchsgericht]], which is the court of last resort. At present, the Chief Justice is [[Thomas Bainbridge]]. States have the right to establish their own judiciaries (at present, only Alenshka and Alexander have done so), but their judgements may still be appealed the Reichshöchsgericht. Otherwise, cases concerning state law are heard by first-tier state courts, which are regulated by federal law and staffed by federal judges.<br />
<br />
===Ministries and Cabinet===<br />
The executive branch of the Empire is exercised by the Privy Council of Abelden under the Constitution. Under the Privy Council, the main body that composes it, the [[Reichsregierungskabinett]], exercises the real executive powers of the government. The Reichsregierungskabinett is composed of the Vorsitzender, the Stellvertreter and other ministers who are appointed by either the Monarch or the Vorsitzender himself. In order to be eligible as a member of the Reichsregierungskabinett, and therefore as a minister, a person has to be a member of the Reichsversammlung and not found of any misconduct by the courts. At present, there are 6 ministers in the ''Kabinett'' including the Vorsitzender and Stellvertreter.<br />
<br />
The Ministries are currently—<br />
<br />
*[[Ministry of Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (Abelden)|Ministry of Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs]] - led by the Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs Minister, responsible for maintaining diplomatic relations with other nations.<br />
*[[Ministry of Finance (Abelden)|Ministry of Finance]] - led by the [[Ministry of Finance (Abelden)#Chancellors|Chancellor of the Treasury]], responsible for the maintenance of the economy and overseeing the works of the businesses in the Empire.<br />

===Elections and federal political parties===<br />
{{Main|Political parties in Abelden}}<br />
<br />
General elections are usually the core of activity within the Empire as registered voters get to vote. Usually, general elections happen every 6 months, thereby making 2 general elections per year. Previously, general elections were held every 3 months. The longest gap between general elections was the gap between the [[Abeldane general elections, December 2015|December 2015 elections]] and the [[Abeldane general elections, June 2016|June 2016 elections]], a period of six months, following the official constitutional rule on elections per year. <br />
<br />
Political parties in Abelden are very common and the oldest political party still in existence is the [[Liberty Front]], established on 17 January 2019. The Liberty Front rose to this position after the merger of the [[Abeldane National Union]] and the [[Party of Royalists and Greens]]. The youngest political party in Abelden are the [[Confederals]], founded in July 2020. Presently, there are three federal political parties operating in Abelden, though none are currently represented in the [[Reichsversammlung]] due to the body’s dissolution during the [[Concordiagate]] scandal. <br />

==State governments==<br />
<br />
===Monarchs===<br />
The Abeldane Empire is at present composed of six federal states, each one having their own respective monarch or monarchs as head of state. The heads of the states are collectively referred as ''Federal Princes'' or in German as ''Bundesfürst''. The [[Alenshka|Monarch of Alenshka]] is the [[Abeldane Monarchy|Emperor]] in perpetuity because Alenshka is the seat of the federal monarchy under the Constitution and therefore the King of Alenshka uses the title ''Emperor of the Abeldane Empire and King of Alenshka'' when referred to him in the imperial form. Each federal monarch is distinct in terms of their styles, with some of the two titles currently used being "king" and "grand duke", though in the past the empire has also had monarchs titled "grand prince", "archduke", "duke", "landgrave" or "prince". <br />
<br />
The following are the present federal princes or monarchs of the six states of the Empire:<br />

==Law==<br />
There are several sources of federal law in Abelden:<br />
<br />
* the Constitution;<br />
* Imperial decrees;<br />
* Acts of the Reichsversammlung;<br />
* federal court judgements;<br />
* orders of executive office holders;<br />
* international law.<br />
<br />
Permanent public law is codified in the Code of the Abeldane Empire ([https://micronations.wiki/wiki/File:Abeldane_Code_-_Second_Edition_rev_1.0_PDF.pdf current revision]). The Code is authoritative, and contains a edited and organised compilation of permanent Acts and Imperial decrees. It frequently also contains entirely new material. New editions are published infrequently, but revisions that note new laws and court rulings are published more frequently.<br />
<br />
The Abeldane judiciary is powerful, and can strike unconstitutional laws. It can also order public authorities to act or to refrain from acting in a certain way. The power of judicial review extends to the Crown; but as the Crown enjoys full immunity from court orders, an action challenging the Crown can only seek a non-binding declaration.<br />
<br />
==Foreign relations==<br />
{{Main|Foreign relations of Abelden}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Passport Abelden.png|thumb|right|175px|The front cover of an Abeldane passport.]]<br />
Abelden has maintained a record of creating relations with other nations since its formation in 2014, with the [[Principality of Lomellina]] being the first nation to recognise Abelden. The [[Ministry of Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (Abelden)|Ministry of Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs]] is responsible for maintaining all treaties and agreements signed by the Empire and ensuring that requests from other nations are delivered to the government. The [[Vorsitzender]] is the minister responsible and ''ex officio'' holds the ministry. <br />
<br />
Several nations including [[Legatia]] and [[Empire of Andrestan|Andrestan]] that are under the influence of Abelden are part of the [[Abeldane Commonwealth]], which recognises the Emperor as the head of state. Other nations that Abelden maintains close relations include [[Pacem]] and [[Verus]]. <br />
<br />
It is a member currently of five intermicronational organisations: the [[Grand Unified Micronational]], [[Konmalehth]], of which it was a founding member of, [[International Agricultural Development Pact]], [[Union Against Micronational War]] and the Asia-Pacific Alliance.<br />
<br />
==Military==<br />
[[File:Abeldane roundel.svg.png|thumb|right|150px|The roundel of the Imperial Air Force]]<br />
Abelden maintains a ceremonial military called the [[Abeldane Imperial Armed Forces|Imperial Armed Forces]]. It has three branches: the [[Imperial Abeldane Army|Imperial Army]], responsible for protecting the lands of the Empire; the [[Imperial Abeldane Navy|Imperial Navy]], responsible for protecting the coastal and sea claims of the Empire; and the [[Imperial Abeldane Air Force|Imperial Air Force]], responsible for protecting the skies of the Empire. <br />
<br />
The federal states are also allowed to maintain military forces in the form of state armies, navies and air forces. At present only the state of [[Demirelia]] has a military, the [[Demirelian Royal State Forces|Royal State Forces]], divided into the [[Landvern]] and the [[Statsleidang]].<br />
<br />
There are ongoing interests on reviving the military and turning it into an active organisation. In the past the Empire maintained a base in [[Kingdom of Bosmansk|Bosmansk]] at the request of the Bosmanian government but its status is currently unknown due to the dissolution of Bosmansk.<ref>Freayth,<br />
Stephen. [https://abeldanetimes.wordpress.com/2015/07/22/abelden-leases-new-bases-in-bosmansk "Abelden leases new bases in Bosmansk"] ''Abeldane Times''. Retrieved 30 July 2015.</ref><br />
<br />
==Economy==<br />
[[File:Trimole notes 2019.png|thumb|left|150px|Banknotes of the [[Abeldane Trimole|Trimole]], issued in 2019.]]<br />
The economy of Abelden can be considered as a mixed economy due to the constant interventions of the government on businesses and at the economy in general. Several businesses in Abelden are also state-owned like [[Ryksdrucherye]] but some new businesses are no longer state-owned. There have been several instances when the economy was dissolved or abolished due to the unsatisfactory results it delivered. <br />
<br />
States like [[Alenshka]] are developing their own economies and it is encouraged by the Imperial and State government to let residents establish their own businesses in order to stimulate and functioning and active economy within the state and the Empire.<br />
<br />
Abelden's currency, the [[Trimole]], is the national currency and used by several members of the Commonwealth. The trimole is issued by the [[Imperial Central Bank]], the central bank of the Empire, and responsible for maintaining the interest rates and money supply within the economy. Currently, the Imperial Central Bank is lead by [[Nick Kaos]], the Governor since August 2017.<br />

===Languages===<br />
According to the Abeldane Constitution, the official languages recognized are English, German and French. English is the most commonly used language in the Empire and is required to be learned by all citizens. German and French are rarely spoken, but they are used on official government documents. Other official languages used in the federal states are Dutch, Norwegian, and Welsh. Spanish is also used as an official working language in the [[Reichsversammlung]], besides the other official languages. An Abeldane language is currently being developed by citizens and is expected to become an official language in the near future.<br />

Abelden is a secular state and most states are all secular. Since its foundation, the freedom to exercise religion has been guaranteed and given to the people by the Constitution. Religion plays no part in the government but it plays a minor role in the Monarchy, wherein the Church of Abelden is recognised as the sole and primary institution that can crown the Emperor. <br />
<br />
The [[Church of Abelden]] is the state organised church that exists within Abelden, and is responsible for the spiritual well-being of its Christian citizens. The Church considers itself as a nondenominational Christian church and is headed by a Patriarch.<br />
<br />
Most of the population are adherents to [[w:Christianity|Christianity]], with [[w:Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholicism]] compromising the largest group followed by [[w:Protestants|Protestants]]. There are other minor religions which include [[w:Islam|Islam]], [[w:Hinduism|Hinduism]] and [[w:Judaism|Judaism]], of which all do not compromise more than 20% of the population. While half of the population adhere to a religion, 38% of the population are irreligious and it is only behind Christianity in terms of numbers. Since foundation, Christianity has remained the largest religious group in the Empire.<br />
<br />
==Culture==<br />
Abelden derives elements of its culture from Asian, European and American culture. The influence can be seen from the fact that Abelden's federal states are found in 4 continents. In [[Alenshka]], dishes are usually in traditional Arab cuisine and some dishes are influenced from Western cuisine; dressing manner are usually to be done in a conservative manner in some cities and in some in a liberal way. Religion is freely expressed in the Kingdom, but during holy months in the Islamic Calendar, respect must be given for all Muslims in the Kingdom.<br />
<br />
The culture is mostly influenced by the federal states in North America, of which it brought influences of liberty, democracy, music, language and more. Western music is widely accepted in the Empire, as are some of the things that citizens usually enjoy doing. Federal states in Europe usually have the same culture as the other federal sates in North America do, although they have their own local traditions and types of cuisine, as well as languages. European languages are mostly dominant in the Empire, with Dutch and German being mostly spoken daily by citizens in the Empire. <br />
<br />
===Traditions===<br />
History is usually a general knowledge within the Empire and most citizens at least know about World War II. A new kind of art culture emerged from the Empire after federalisation begun and is usually known as "Memes." Memes are quite common within the Empire and at least every citizen has created a meme for themselves and has integrated into the usual activities in the Empire and the Imperial Government. The creation of [[Microball]] comics has also emerged and is usually very popular amongst the citizens.<br />
[[File:LSydunche front.png|thumb|right|250px|The front page of ''[[L'Sydunche|L'Sydunche]]'' from 2019.]]<br />
<br />
===Media===<br />
Abelden's media is well and richly written. The constitution provides citizens freedom of speech and many other liberties that they may use. The first newspaper in Abelden is ''[[L'Sydunche]]'', formerly known as ''The Abeldane Times'', and under an Act of the Parliament is the official gazette of the Imperial Government.

Abelden's cuisine and eating habits are influenced mostly by Arab and Philippine cuisine. Alenshkan cuisine is mostly well-known by the use of meat and chicken often in all kinds of food. Alenshkans usually feed on rice with an unlimited assortment of viands, which is a normal way of eating for Asians. In [[Alexton]], vegetables are mostly consumed by citizens and sweet dishes like cakes and pies are also consumed daily. People in [[Pleston]] usually go out in malls for traditional Western cuisine or Asian cuisine or mixed and don't usually eat at homes.<br />

The ADD takes place every 2 April whilst the A&DW takes place every first week of May. The two holidays were dedicated to the Former Empress, who herself has autism and depression. <ref>Freayth, Stephen.

<br />
On 13 June 2020, Emperor Nicholas declared a national holiday in remembrance of Nicholas Randouler, who had passed 10 days prior at a young age. The declaration was due to Randouler's importance in Abeldane history since 2018, and was decreed alongside his Knighthood to the [[Order of Memery]].<br />

The '''Charter of Rai''' ([[Sabian language|Sabian]]: ''toagaki ra'') is the [[constitution]] of the [[Grand Duchy of Rai]], a [[States of Abelden|federal state]] of the [[Abeldane Empire]]. It was adopted on 15 May 2020, when it was promulgated through a grand ducal decree by [[Monarchy of Rai|Grand Duke]] [[Tarik of Sabia and Verona|Tarik Karjasari]]. It was the first constitutional document ever adopted by the state, making Rai the last state in Abelden to adopt a fundamental law of any sort.<ref name=mbirag>[https://www.instagram.com/p/CARMOj_AlYf/ "baraibarakuróa karim toagaku"]. ''[[mbirág aliosin]]'' (in Sabian). 16 May 2020. Retrieved 23 May 2020.</ref><br />
<br />
The Charter of Rai codified the monarchy's extensive executive, legislative and judicial powers, which had been excercised ''de facto'' since the establishment of the Grand Duchy as Bergendorf under Angelo I Geulin, in [[2016]].<br />
<br />
==Contents==<br />
The Charter has no preamble. It is divided into five parts: primordial elements of the Grand Duchy, governance, state symbols, guiding principles of the Rai society, and considerations on the Charter itself.<br />
<br />
===Part 1 (primordial elements)===<br />
Part 1 of the Charter describes the "primordial elements" of the Grand Duchy, the nature of the Grand Duchy as a sovereign state and constituent part of the [[Abeldane Empire]] (subjected to its [[Constitution of Abelden|constitution]] and laws), the nature of the [[Monarchy of Rai|Rai monarchy]], and the nature of the Rai people as a constituent element of the "[[Valtirians|Great Valtirian Nation]]", thereby adopting the [[Sabian language]] as the sole official language of the Grand Duchy. It is entirely made of Article 1. <br />
<br />
===Part 2 (governance)===<br />
Part 2 of the Charter describes the style of governance and the state institutions of the Grand Duchy. Articles 2 and 3 describe the Monarchy, its authority and the form ([[w:Absolute primogeniture|absolute primogeniture]]) and line of succession, starting with the ruling [[House of Kârjasary|House of Karjasari]] and then the secondary [[House of Hasaraši]]. The following articles describe the office and responsibilities of the [[Seneschal of Rai]], the source and limitations of their authority, the nature of their permanence in the post, and the possibility of the establishment of a ''[[Bok of Rai|Bok]]'' ("court", in Sabian), a deliberative assembly with no actual legislative powers. Notably, it establishes Grand Ducal Decrees as the only valid form of legislation in the Grand Duchy.<br />
<br />
===Part 3 (state symbols)===<br />
The third part of the Charter establishes legal provisions on the state symbols of the Grand Duchy (the flag, coat of arms, [[w:New Rules|state anthem]] and motto), and the importance of the state flag and coat of arms as the "foremost symbols" of the Grand Duchy and the Grand Duke, and that as such they are to be treated "with respect and in ceremonial fashion".<br />
<br />
===Part 4 (guiding principles of Rai society)===<br />
Part 4 of the Charter establishes the "primordial values" of Rai society, namely "equality before the law, the pursuit of fine aesthetics, freedom to express oneself, and the determination to shatter oppressive structures in the overarching society." It also sets the "primordial truths" of Rai society, which are that the Rai people are a constituent part of the [[Valtirians|Great Valtirian Nation]], as much as they are legally bound to the laws of the [[Abeldane Empire|Abeldane Empire and Commonwealth]], and that there are systemic forces operating well beyond the reach of the Rai state’s authority and the Rai people’s impact that greatly benefit a select few individuals at the heavy expense and detriment of oppressed majorities; this, the Charter maintains, is an undesirable situation. This section also establishes the social and cultural duties of the Grand Ducal State.<br />
<br />
===Part 5 (Charter provisions)===<br />
The fifth and final part establishes general provisions on the Charter, including the procedure for the addition of constitutional amendments and the entry into force of the Charter.<br />
