The Ryno Republic is a new nation founded on 2 July 2018 based on the principles of freedom, free-will and independence.

History

On 2 July 2018, the nation was established as a result of discussions within a group of like-minded individuals (the Founders Council). Members of the Founders Council, dissatisfied with the state of current representative governments, looked to create a better solution. Thus, the Ryno Republic was formed. The Founders Council created the framework for the Republic, as well as the initial Constitution and a Declaration of Independence. The Founders Council voted and elected R.W. Lockhart as the First Bull. The Council also bestowed the title of The Feral One upon R.W. Lockhart in recognition of his importance to the creation of the independent Republic. After voting to approve the Constitution, the Council acknowledged the difficulties for a new nation seeking independence. Therefore, the Council voted to suspend the Constitution for a period of one year in order to allow the First Bull the authority and time to negotiate the difficult transition to independent nation status.[1]

Government and politics

The government of the Ryno Republic contains three branches: the Executive, the Legislative and the Judiciary. The Executive is the First Bull. The First Bull is duly elected from a majority vote of the People of the Republic. The First Bull serves a two-year term. The Legislative is called the People's Chamber. Each state of the Republic elects a head of state, titled an Overseer. Overseers serve in the People's Chamber. The People's Chamber is charged with all legislative duties of the Republic. Finally, the Judiciary is headed by the highest legal authority in the Republic, the Chief Officiant. The Chief Officiant is elected by a majority vote of the People of the Republic for a three-year term.[1]

Alternate flag. Also used by First Bull.

National Police Force

The First Bull, being the Head of State, possesses the authority to create a national police force. The national police force, if created, will be charged with enforcement of the Republic's laws and to provide general safety and security for Republic citizens. At this time, the First Bull has not created a national police force, but reserves the right to do so at the appropriate time.

Foreign relations

The Republic vests in the First Bull the power to engage in, negotiate with, and sign treaties with other nations, at the First Bull's discretion. The First Bull may select and nominate diplomats from among the Republic's citizenry.

Military

All citizens of the Republic are required to serve at least one year of reserve military duty or other governmental duty upon attaining the age of eighteen.

Currently, the armed forces consist of only a reserve army, however, the Republic is engaged in a formal review for the establishment of a navy and air force.
