Etymology

The name "Aleksandropil" was developed in honor of HM Tsar and Grand Prince Alexander Feofanovič (IV).

Foundation and Structure

The Governorate of Aleksandropil was established on 8 March 2018, by Kristijan Karolovych Nevtonenko. Upon its foundation, Nevtonenko was granted the title of Count by Tsar and Grand Prince Alexander IV, and given immediate jurisdiction over the Governorate post the signing of the Treaty of Aleksandropil.

Government

In Aleksandropil, the Governor holds de jure control of all executive, legislative and judicial powers, under the Tsar, and legislative and executive powers shared with a council known as the Veche. The Veche is one of the few legislatures in the world to not conduct its duties physically, instead preferring to conduct them virtually.

Divisions of the Governorate

The Governorate of Aleksandropil is broken into cities. These cities are led by mayors who are appointed by the Governor, and confirmed by the Veche. Mayors of Aleksandropil hold minimal levels of power, and power is generally vested in the state, and federal government. The cities themselves may not be divided into further subdivisions.

Culture

The Aleksandropilian culture is largely based on that of the Pavlovian Rus' culture (a mix of Turkic and Ukrainian cultures), however, it also incorporates various elements from American culture, seeing that Aleksandropil is situated in the United States. Aleksandropilians place an important emphasis on family, tradition and religion. Other aspects of the Pavlovian Rus' culture include Polo matches, Classical music and the Arts, and the Saturday mass.

Language

Main article: Pavlovian language

The Pavlovian Language (Павлівской Єзикъ, Pavlivskoj Jeziků) is a constructed language, built and primarily spoken in Pavlov. It has elements from Slavic languages, mostly from Old Church Slavonic and Old East Slavic. It is currently regulated by the University of St. Achmed the Calligrapher, which is headed by Kristijan Nevtonenko himself. The Pavlovian language is written in Cyrillic.

Due to the Tsardom being a multi-ethnic state, in everyday use the citizens use their respective native languages. The official language of the Tsardom is the Ukrainian language, but the English language is the official legislative language, and is also widely used in the Tsardom. In Aleksandropil, the everyday language spoken is English, however, the Aleksandropilian government urges its subjects to use the Pavlovian language, as the language is considered to be an important cultural aspect of the Pavlovian Rus' culture.
