The Autocratic Republic of Raministan is a totalitarian state that is run out of Kershaw County in the US state of South Carolina. It is the only admitted totalitarian micronation in the Carolinian states. The nation claims a some land in South Carolina.

Government

Raministan is a totalitarian state that instills the values of hard work and high intelligence. It is said that this should be achieved by offering citizenship to those who show the values of intelligence and/or a hard work drive. There is no racial or cultural discrimination in these decisions, just a look into the works and feats of those who wish for or are offered citizenship.

Alpha Befehlshaber

The Alpha Befehlshaber (Eng: Alpha Commander) has the job of interacting with foreign nations and governs the foreign policy of Raministan. They decide on the recognition of other nations in the MicroWiki Sector. They also decide on what claims to lay upon macronational land, and when to declare war, which is a very rare occurance. They also must mentor the Kanzler and approve the laws.

Kanzler

The Kanzler is a position of power over the internal affairs of Raministan. They must create laws and write them down in the "National Legal Journal." They must also regulate the laws and head law enforcement. Investigative committees are assembled to assist the Kanzler in his choices during his duties.

Administrative Divisions

The administrative divisions of Raministan are called Districts. These districts are composed of areas surrounding the major cities of the nation. These act as basic units of division for easier regulation.

Law and order

Laws

The nation holds a document called the National Legal Journal. Within this document, all laws enacted by the government are to be inscribed. The Book is divided into categories based on the type of law it regards. These laws are upheld with highest regard by both officials and citizens alike.

Rights

The citizens have been granted the following rights:

• Free Speech
• Allowance to Foreign Communication
• Food, Shelter and Water
• Freedom of Thought and Expression
• Freedom of Travel
• Freedom from Discrimination Based on Ethnicity, Sexual Orientation, or Religion

Police

The Raministani National Police (RNP) are the law enforcement and peacekeeping force within Raministan. They try to keep the area peaceful without using force unless required to do so. If it is seen that these officers are being overly forceful, it is the job of the citizens to take it upon themselves to instill social justice, or alert the government so that they can deal with the problematic officer.

National Symbols

Like many other autocracies and benevolent dictatorships, Raministan openly embraces red, black, and white as the national colors. These are shown in almost every bit of the nation's symbolism, such as the flag, coat of arms, even the outfits of the two national leaders. These colors are also incorporated into some symbols in each district. Also, wolves and eagles feature frequently in national symbolism, as well as the occasional bear. The Eisernes Kreuz, or Iron Cross, also heavily used.

Military

The nation holds two soldiers. The military is run by the Alpha Befehlshaber. The nation is not belligerent, and in most armed conflicts will reach for airsoft, BB, or dart firing weapons. These are used so as to avoid extremism in conflict between two nations, and also to avoid possible repercussions for those actions. For severely perilous wars, the military is instructed to use AR-15 assault rifles as the main weapon and a 22. Ruger Rifle as the main defensive sniper rifle. A flatbottom fishing boat has been converted for military use, and is called the "Raministan Defense Ship (RDS) Eisenerfaust."

Economy

Freisland is basically a poor and destitute country by macronational standards, but is fairly well off by micronational standards. It has a fairly high income rate, and its redistribution and equality of income is actually fairly and truly successful. It is a mostly import economy, but also relies on exports via the internet. There is also plenty of foreign aid coming from private US citizens who care greatly for the nation of Raministan.

Ramini Dollar ($)

The Ramini Dollar is the provisional currency of Raministan. It was designed to mimic the American dollar in use.The Ramini dollar is to be used until either its design and use are perfected, or Raministan finds another currency to use.
