Government

The current form of government in Mivland, as described by Article I of Constitution II, would fall into the classification of an anocracy.

While citizens of Mivland are guarenteed some of the most liberal coverage of civil and social rights in the world, this status is true due to the large amount of exectutive power granted to the monarch.

Under the current constitution, the monarch is granted broad exectutive powers. incuding:

  • Bypass the House of Governors via Exectutive Decrees
  • Amend the Constitution (except passages passed by the House of Governors.)
  • Declare absolution of governement power
  • Serve as the tie breaking vote in the House of Governors

Legislative

The House of Governors is an elected assembly of representives from each of the federal provinces, whose power is derived from Article I, Section II of the Constitution.

Under the current constitution, the monarch is granted legislative powers. incuding:

History

Establishment (August 2018-2020)

Mivland's Flag under Republic Era and Constitution I

In July 2018, Jesse Moore established the Republic of Mivland. By late August, the nation had fallen into electoral and buerocratic disrepair. Because of this Moore, as president, declared himself king and himself HRM Jesse I with support of the former vice president and declared the kingdom on August 29, 2018, a day that is now celebrated yearly as Establishment Day.

After the collapse of the national government Jesse I ruled in absolution with a member of the new royal family acting as a ceremonial "Prime Minister". Eventually a parliament was formed but it was small and exclusively contained members of the royal family. This government was in place until a constitution could be written and signed.

The Mivlandian Constitution was finished on April 21, 2020, but due to the inability to gather parliament due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and the lack of governmental diversity (The Reform Party held governmental totality at this point), the king opted not to present the constitution to parliament until elections could be held in December.

The Counting Crisis (December 2020)

During the first election in Mivlandian history several events went wrong constitutionally during election season in December 2020. First, problems began to arise as several people only voted for one candidate, leading to electoral counting confusion as vote were needing to be sorted an eliminated. The first and second counts show that Traditionalist party candidate Christopher Ramos and Naturalist party candidate G Clark had tied in the vote. In order to rectify this, the voting lists were compiled as those with wasted vote were asked to submit a vote for Ramos or Clark on paper ballot.

This paper ballot process led to a final count vote with Ramos beating Clark by 1 vote. Clark supporters decried the government claiming that revoters were being manipulated into electing Ramos, due to Ramos friendly ties to and support for the monarchy.

Ramos, who had been elected to the parliament as a candidate for Hawkland had now left the seat open for his running mate. His co-candidate, former commander-of-the-army James Dean refused to take the seat, stating that he had ran with the assumption that Ramos would lose the prime ministerial race, and stated that he had no interest in serving in the legislature. This led to the votes in Hawkland being reexamine and led to the Naturalists gaining a seat and the Traditionalists losing a seat. This was strange as this was the only seat that the Traditionalists had and now that they had lost it that meant that Ramos, a Traditionalist, controlled a parliament with no Traditionalist members.

In September 2022, HRM Jesse I and PM Ramos approved FRP-2201, limiting prime mInisterial elections to the parliamentary floor as a way to prevent the problems caused by the Counting Crisis.

Constitution I Cover

Constitution I Era and Exile (2021-2023)

On January 1, 2021, the first nationally elected parliament was swore into office. 3 days later on January 4, 2021 the constitution was signed into law by 5 of the 8 members of parliament and finally legitimized the government under a solid framework. Under this constitution, Mivland adopted a system of governement known as a "bi-executive constitutional monarchy", a form of government devised by the pre-constitution government.

In June 2022, the government was forced to relocate off of federal land. They have sense been in a state of exile.

Absolution (August 2023-January 2024)

On August 14, 2023, HRM Jesse I announced that due too the stagnation of the state and the ineffectiveness of the status quo bureaucracy, that he would be evoking Line [1](1.4) of the Mivlandian Constitution with support from PM Ramos. This grants the monarchy powers of absolution in matters of all three branches of government, and has effectively turned Mivland into an absolute monarchy.

On September 26, 2023, the government announced the the capital city of Saint Jessesburg, would be changed to Follettikrot, translated from Mivlano to English as "City of the Follette's. The reason behind the change being the secularization of the state, as well as to more generally honor the family that inhabited the land where the kingdom is located, rather than just the patriarch, Jesse the Elder.

On September 28, 2023, the Thomas Colony was legally upgraded to a federal territory under the formation of a governate in the region, and as such is now eligible for provincehood.

Constitution II Cover

On November 1, 2023, Jesse I signed into law the National Postmark Identication Act; creating Mivland's Registered Post Number System (RPNS), similar to the United States' ZIP code identification.

Constitution II Era (January 2024-Present)

At noon on January 24, 2024, Jesse I annouced that after meeting with top government officials, that he would renounce his approved absolution in favor of restoring democracy. This act went into effect the same day, with the release of Constitution II, and update and revised version of the Mivlandian Constitution that redesigns the legislative branch from a Parliament to a House of Governors.
