History

In the 19th Century, Baden has financial and economical goal after withdrawing from the German Confederation In 1866.

Since the Austro-Prussian War had broke in, Baden has a civil conflict because of residents who chose to join and fight for Germany whilst other chose Austria.

In a month, the war immediately ended and Baden has an opportunity to unite with another state and suggest it down in the Peace Treaty of Prague. The state chosen was Hesse-Darmstadt and so, Baden and Hesse-Darmstadt (Now Hesse) formed a Union marking the foundation of the Confederation of Baden-Hesse.

Union

Baden and Hesse has good economic relations, the union is divided into two equal parts with each parts having its own states, government, parliament and head of the state (part). In result, the union lasts normally and each state can govern independently with limitations.

Politics and Government

The Nation is close enough to being a Republic in systems and elections, though having an Emperor in charge, mainly inspired by the newly formed North German Confederation.

The Head of each parts mentioned is by conclusion, having a limited independent control over their state but simply controlled by the Emperor and can be personally chosen by the Emperor too, they could still elect their minister though.

The Parliament is also controlled by the Emperor but with some powers.
