National Monuments of Aredoa

Aredoa:

The '''National Monuments of Aredoa''' are buildings, sites and structures in [[Aredoa]] designated as historically, geographically or culturally significant and worthy of preservation by the state. A number of national monuments are also recognised by the [[World Assembly Trust for Cultural Heritage]] as World Heritage Sites.

The first national monuments were designated in 1887 following the introduction of the National Heritage Act which authorised the government to purchase and maintain land of national importance. Today, the designation and maintenance of national monuments is the responsibility of the [[Government of Aredoa|Ministry of Culture]].

Since 2016, all national monuments have been owned either directly or indirectly by the state, with none in private hands. National monuments are hotspots for tourism in the country, with many offering services/facilities such as museums, visitor centres and guided tours.

'''Soltierra Rum''' is a major [[Aredoa|Aredoan]] company producing rum and other rum-based beverages. Founded in [[Vahania]] in 1782 during the colonial period, it is the most prominent producer of iconic Aredoan rum and exports its many products worldwide.

[[File:Soltierra2.jpg|thumb|right|253x253px|Cocktails being prepared with Soltierra Rum at a bar in [[Vahania]]]]

==Production==

Soltierra's production process begins with the cultivation of sugarcane, which is harvested at peak ripeness and then used to produce molasses. This molasses is then fermented before undergoing double distillation in column stills. The distilled product is aged in oak barrels, maturing at a fast rate due to the tropical climate but losing quite a large portion of the product to the angels' share. After aging, the rum is blended and infused with spices, depending on the particular product, before being bottled and shipped to vendors.

==Brand portfolio==

Soltierra produces five standard bottles of rum, as well as having three labels with several variants such as flavoured and pre-mixed drinks. Its best-selling product is the Soltierra Blanco.

'''The Sunny Side of Life''' is an [[Aredoa|Aredoan]] documentary film directed by Jorge Sada and presented and narrated by Marta Santino. It follows the Oakaya tribe, documenting their cultural norms and way of life in the lead-up to the [[Festival of Sun]]. The film was nominated for Best Documentary Film and Best Musical Score in the [[2023 IDU Film Festival]], emerging victorious in both categories. <ref name ="FilmFestivalThread">https://idugov.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2449&pid=23463#pid23463</ref>

==Plot==
''The Sunny Side of Life'' takes the audience deep into the heart of Aredoa's culture by delving into the historical and modern-day customs of the small Oakaya Tribe, practitioners of the sun-worshipping Oalasamo religion that was once widespread in Aredoa before the import of Christianity. It examines how the tribe's religion permeates far beyond the culture of the Oakaya tribe and impacts on the Aredoan national identity as a whole, from art to literature, music to architecture, and even how it forms the basis for the name of Aredoa itself.

The documentary explores the unique ways of life within the Oakaya Tribe- such the morning prayers led by tribal matriarch Mamá Cassita at the first break of dawn, the quaint village where every building is adorned with motifs of the sun, and the tending to of the communal gardens that thrive under the sun's benevolence. Over the course of two months, Oakaya old and young alike are interviewed and shadowed by cameras as they go about their day, including the elderly matriarch Mamá Cassita, young siblings Lucífera and Albaluzo, and the tribe's Regional Delegate to the National Assembly, Maravío.

The documentary leads up to the Festilavo d'Oah, the Festival of Sun held at the summer solstice and the most important day of the Oakaya year. Aredoans from all walks of life eagerly wait for the festival that has woven its way into mainstream culture. But nobody quite celebrates like the Oakaya. The Oakaya's celebrations transcend mere festivities, being a spiritual journey of thanksgiving to the life-giving sun. As the film draws to a close, we see and hear the rhythmic beats of traditional instruments, the sundancing, and the feasting by villagers, with the credits rolling as the sun sets on the day.

==Reception==
At the 2023 Film Festival, the film received two nominations:
*The film was nominated for Best Documentary Film for its "well-researched and captivating insight into the Oakaya Tribe, showing how the tribe's way of life not only encapsulates Areodan culture but also the universal values of communality and spirituality".<ref name ="FilmFestivalThread"/>
*The film was nominated for Best Musical Score for its "enchanting musical score, entirely produced by members of the Oakaya tribe with traditional tribal instruments. It is masterfully blended into the narration of key moments of the documentary".<ref name ="FilmFestivalThread"/>

'''Beyond the Waves''' is an [[Aredoa|Aredoan]] war film directed by Juan Antunez and written by Carmen Cotán. It stars Andrés Molina, Gabriela Rivera, and Ricardo Mendez. It follows Emile Raya, a teenager who enlists in the military during the [[Great War]] and experiences life in the capital city of [[Vahania]], finding himself and finding love before being shipped overseas to fight. Initially written as a television series, the script was adapted for the cinema screen after being picked up by ProtoPulse Productions. The film was nominated in three categories in the [[2023 IDU Film Festival]], including Best Film<ref name ="FilmFestivalThread">https://idugov.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2449&pid=23463#pid23463</ref>, and won Best Actor for Andrés Molina's portrayal of Emile Raya.<ref name = "FilmFestivalResults">https://idugov.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2454&pid=23508#pid23508</ref>

==Plot==
Emile Raya (Andrés Molina) is a quiet teenager growing up in impoverished and rural Manzanita against the backdrop of the Great War, which he is relatively sheltered from. Destined for a life of orchard farming, which had been the occupation of his family for generations but is not something that Emile intends to pursue, he enlists in the military upon his 18th birthday in 1963 with the encouragement of his grandfather Felipe (Miguel Cruz), who serves as Emile's mentor. Emile is transported to the capital city of Vahania where he undergoes basic training and forms bonds with his fellow soldiers.

Passed over for overseas deployment, Emile is initiated into the Home Guard, remaining stationed in Vahania and seeing no combat. Here he experiences life in the big city for the first time, immersing himself in the city's culture as he sings, dances, cooks and performs alongside his best friend, Pedro Calero (Ricardo Mendez). Emile meets and wins over the love of his life, Lucia Vargas (Gabriela Rivera), marrying her after a year together. The lovebirds find out they are expecting a child and buy a small suburban property on Emile's soldier salary in preparation for the baby. Emile's personal journey seems to be the inverse of the journey of Aredoa: while the future looks bleak for Aredoa as the war drags on with no end in sight, Emile experiences city living for the first time, marries the love of his life, and is expecting a son.

Two weeks before Lucia is due to give birth, Emile is called to take part in the invasion of the Slokais Islands as the Aredoan military command scrambles to bring in any additional forces it can, hoping to turn the tide of the war in Eastern Hesperida. The latter half of the film documents the highs and lows of Emile's war journey, first the brutal and bloody initial landing on the beaches of South Kaijan in a breathtaking 18 minute scene leaving the audience on the edges of their seats throughout. Emile loses countless friends while overseas - including Pedro, who dies in his arms after a particularly tough engagement. The fateful day before victory against Juan Costa's regime, Emile is shot in the neck as his unit falls victim to a false surrender. Despite every effort being made to save his life, Emile dies just hours before the Coalition's victory on the Islands. His wife Lucia, baby son Antonio, and wider family are blissfully unaware and only find out about Emile's death when he is absent from the troopship carrying his unit home, a moment of gut-wrenching grief surrounded by ecstatic families celebrating the homecoming.

==Reception==
The film was the highest-grossing homegrown film of 2023 in Aredoa. At the 2023 Film Festival, the film received three nominations:
*The film was nominated for Best Film for its "heart-warming yet tragic coming-of-age story showing the human cost of war. It features striking visuals, from Aredoa's serene rural and bustling urban landscapes and the tropical beauty of the Slokais Islands to the brutal depictions of amphibious warfare".<ref name ="FilmFestivalThread"/>
*Andrés Molina was nominated for Best Lead Actor for his "portrayal of Emile Raya as a quiet, young-eyed youth who comes out of his shell and falls head over heels in love before facing the horrors of war".<ref name ="FilmFestivalThread"/>
*Gabriela Rivera was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for her "emotional and compelling portrayal of Lucia Vargas/Raya as a young woman navigating the complexities of love, loss, and single motherhood, adding a layer of depth and authenticity to the film".<ref name ="FilmFestivalThread"/>

The '''Supreme Workers' Council''' is a unicameral chamber that is the highest organ of state power in [[Nahrava]]. There are 283 members of the Supreme Workers' Council, elected from a variety of different sources via indirect elections.

The Supreme Workers' Council was established in 1948 following the proclamation of the Provisional People's Republic by communist revolutionaries, marking the start of the [[Great Socialist Revolution (Nahrava)|Great Socialist Revolution]]. With the ratification of a socialist constitution in 1950, the Council was reaffirmed as the legislature of Nahrava and the highest source of state power. As a result, all other governmental institutions are subservient to the Supreme Workers' Council, at least in theory. Some of the Council's many powers include its lawmaking powers, the ability to amend the constitution, and the appointment of officeholders, including the [[Premier of the Council of Ministers (Nahrava|Premier]] and the [[Council of Ministers (Nahrava)|Council of Ministers]], high-level judges, and military officials.

The [[Communist Party of Nahrava]], being the constitutionally recognised vanguard party of the Nahravan socialist system, has a sizeable majority, but a number of minor sectional interest parties also hold seats in the chamber.

'''Nahrava''', officially the '''Workers' Republic of Nahrava''', is a socialist state located in north-eastern [[Neria]]. The capital and largest city is [[Hadram]]. It has a population of 9,631,749, with most major settlements being near the coast or one of the major inland rivers. The [[Communist Party of Nahrava]] is constitutionally recognised as the nation's vanguard party. The party's [[General Secretary of the Communist Party of Nahrava|General Secretary]] is the head of state with responsibility for foreign and military affairs, simultaneously holding the position of [[Chairman of the Supreme Workers' Council (Nahrava)|Chairman of the Supreme Workers' Council]]. The head of government is the [[Premier of the Council of Ministers (Nahrava)|Premier]], who heads the [[Council of Ministers (Nahrava)|Council of Ministers]] and takes the lead on day-to-day domestic policy.

Nahrava originated as several culturally-similar groups of people in local clans began to develop in the region, with Islam and the language of Suhari being introduced by settlers and traders from [[Serriel]]. Nahrava [[Unification of Nahrava|unified]] in 1892, with a Sultanate being recognised by local leaders who still retained large levels of control over their own lands. The Sultanate consolidated its power over time, amassing a centralised standing army, before being ousted by local leaders in the [[Wāli Revolt]] which led to the formation of a power-sharing national government. Economic conditions declined significantly in the 1930s and 1940s, coinciding with a growth in income inequality. After years of agitation, communist revolutionaries started the [[Great Socialist Revolution]] on the 24th of September 1948 with the proclamation of the Provisional People's Republic. Civil war ensued and the communists emerged victorious in late 1949. The Workers' Republic of Nahrava was established in February 1950 when the Constitution was ratified by the Supreme Workers' Council.

In its early years of existence, the Workers' Republic presided over the construction of state housing that provided for hundreds of thousands of citizens. It also majorly expanded education and healthcare facilities, particularly in rural areas, leading to a huge uptick in the standard of living. The state militarised quickly and fought in the [[Great War]] on the side of the Coalition of Democratic Forces.

With communism on the decline globally in the latter half of the twentieth century, Nahrava's economy started to stagnate with public services becoming greatly strained. The government responded by reluctantly liberalising the economy to a minor degree and increasing trade with capitalist nations. Emboldened by this gradual liberalisation, and springing into action after the fall of the communist system in [[Lauchenoiria]], reformists in the political and military elite staged [[Treasonous Counter-Revolution of 2017|a coup]], seizing the capitol and placing General Secretary [[Tariq Al-Mahdi]] under house arrest. Premier [[Ibrahim Al-Faruq]] evaded capture and would lead the government's response to the coup, mobilising the [[Workers' Army of Nahrava|Workers' Army]] and rounding up hundreds of collaborators at all levels of government. The coup attempt officially collapsed after six days following the shelling of occupied government buildings by the Workers' Army. All leaders of the coup either were confirmed to have been killed in action or disappeared, with their fate unknown to this day.

Premier Ibrahim Al-Faruq became General Secretary following the coup, with his predecessor Al-Mahdi being ousted due to his perceived weakness that allowed the coup to take place. Al-Faruq's time in office has been characterised by increased militarisation and a hardline communist stance that has aimed to stamp out all reformist activity in government. All previous liberalisation efforts were reversed, with Nahrava becoming increasingly self-sufficient as it weans itself off imports from capitalist nations.

The state monitors the press and prohibits any counter-revolutionary material from being published, resulting in Nahrava being one of the worst countries in terms of press freedom. Political opposition is limited, with all minor parties in existence accepting the supremacy of the Communist Party and adhering to [[Nahravan socialism]].

The [[Armed Forces of Nahrava]] is the standing military force of Nahrava, consisting primarily of the Workers' Army, Navy and Air Force. It answers to the [[General Secretary of the Communist Party of Nahrava|General Secretary]] and the [[Council of Ministers (Nahrava)|Council of Ministers]] politically, while the [[Supreme Military Council (Nahrava)|Supreme Military Council]] is the military leadership.

It is estimated that in any given year, Nahrava spends between 5-7% of its GDP on military expenditure. It has a strong domestic arms industry, producing many of its small arms and armoured vehicles internally.

Conscription into full-time military service is not in place, but all young people are offered the opportunity to enlist for a year after graduating from either high school or university. Though voluntary, enlistment rates are typically very high as completing this year of military service is a requirement to enter the Professional Civil Service, one of the most coveted career paths in Nahrava.

In addition to the regular armed forces, all local councils in Nahrava maintain Revolutionary Defence Committees, which function as localised civil defence bodies. Revolutionary Defence Committees have access to small arms, albeit quite dated in comparison to the arsenal of the standing armed forces, and vehicles. Volunteers of the Committees undergo basic military and disaster relief training, and can be mobilised either by the local council or the national government in times of distress such as natural disasters. A number of Revolutionary Defence Committees based in the capital city of [[Hadram]] were mobilised by the national government in response to [[Treasonous Counter-Revolution of 2017|the 2017 coup]], manning roadblocks and checkpoints to assist the Workers' Army as it fought the insurgent forces.

'''Vahania''' is the capital and largest city of [[Aredoa]]. The city has a population of 5,426,833 within its metropolitan area, representing approximately 18% of the total population of Aredoa. Located in the center of Aredoa, Vahania has served as the official capital of Aredoa since the beginning of Costenan rule, first as the seat of power of the colonial regime from 1765 and later as the capital of the Republic of Aredoa from 1879.

Vahania's roots as a city date back to 1604 when the settlement was chosen as the meeting place of the leaders of Aredoa's three provinces, which were not yet unified under a central state. Shortly after, the city began to take shape as it became an autonomous region with citizens native to all three provinces of Aredoa. Over the years, Vahania came to represent the combined interests and cultures of the three provinces and was the site of most interprovincial cooperation, such as the early judicial system and an extensive network of libraries and archives of knowledge. Vahania industrialized rapidly under Spanish rule and was the location where the Treaty of Vahania was agreed to in 1879, ending the War of Independence and marking the birth of the Republic of Aredoa.

Vahania is the seat of all three branches of government and houses a large section of the civil service. The city features several famous landmarks, including the [[National Assembly of Aredoa|National House of Aredoa]], the iconic Grand Opera House, and Plaza Libertad, where the Aredoan flag was first hoisted following the country's independence.

Vahania has a significant sporting history, housing many of Aredoa's most successful sports teams. The city is a thriving hub of tourism, culture, and the arts, hosting a large number of museums, theaters and markets. Vahania also boasts a prestigious higher education system, being home to the University of Vahania, Hamolia College, and the Antonio Parras School of the Arts, which are all highly acclaimed within Aredoa and internationally.

'''Alfonso Cabrera Pérez''' (14 September 1917 - 17 November 2002) was an [[Aredoa|Aredoan]] statesman who served as [[Chief Minister of Aredoa]] from 1959 to to 1972, previously serving as Leader of the Opposition in his role as leader of the [[Aredoan Workers' Party]]. Cabrera formed a left-wing unity government with the Social Democrats, Socialist Party, Feminist Party and Radical Party to oust the incumbent Conservative coalition, with his government moving quickly to strengthen Aredoa's military in response to the looming expansionist threat of the Pact of the Three Emperors. Cabrera would lead Aredoa through the [[Great War]] following its outbreak, joining the Coalition of Democratic Forces.

Cabrera was in office for 13 years, making him the longest-serving Chief Minister. He is considered a national hero for his wartime leadership and, when surveyed, is generally regarded as Aredoa's greatest Chief Minister by academic historians and the general public alike.

The '''President of Aredoa''' is the head of state of [[Aredoa]]. The President is directly elected by ranked-choice voting to serve a seven-year term, renewable once. Under the [[Constitution of Aredoa]], Aredoa is a parliamentary republic. The President's role as Head of State is largely ceremonial while the [[Chief Minister of Aredoa|Chief Minister]], the head of government, exercises most administrative powers. Nevertheless, the President fulfills an important constitutional role. The President's duties include appointing the Chief Minister following their nomination by the Chamber of Deputies, signing bills into law (or conversely, referring them to the [[Superior Court of Aredoa|Superior Court]]), dissolving the National Assembly ahead of a General Election, and acting as the ceremonial Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Aredoa. The current President is [[Maria Ortalez]] of the [[Aredoan Workers' Party]], elected in July 2021 and inaugurated on August 3rd 2021.

==Powers and Functions==
The Constitution of Aredoa provides for a parliamentary system of government, by which the role of the head of state is largely a ceremonial one and executive power is expressly vested in the [[Government of Aredoa|government]]. The President does however have a right to be routinely informed of matters of domestic and international importance by the government. Most of the functions of the President may be performed only in accordance with the strict instructions of the Constitution, or the binding "advice" of the government.
===Constitutional Functions===
====Appointment and Dismissal of the Government====
The President appoints the Chief Minister following the candidate's nomination by the Chamber of Deputies, the directly elected lower chamber of the [[National Assembly of Aredoa|National Assembly]] as well as appointing cabinet ministers on the advice of the Chief Minister. The President can dismiss the Chief Minister, although only if and when the Chamber of Deputies has withdrawn their confidence from the government. Similarly, though it is convention that cabinet ministers must resign at the request of the Chief Minister, if a minister refuses to do so they may be dismissed by the President on the advice of the Chief Minister.

====Dissolution of the National Assembly====
The President may issue a warrant dissolving the National Assembly. This power can only be exercised following a vote by the National Assembly to dissolve, either ahead of a scheduled general election or a snap election.

====Promulgation of legislation====
The President signs bills into law following their passage in the National Assembly. The President does not possess the regular power of veto; however, they may refer a bill to the [[Superior Court of Aredoa|Superior Court]] to test its constitutionality. The President must abide by the ruling of the Superior Court, either signing the bill into law if it is found to be constitutional, or refusing to sign the bill if it is found to be unconstitutional. A ruling of the Superior Court is the only situation in which the President can refuse to sign a bill passed by the National Assembly.

====Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces====
The President is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Aredoa. This ceremonial role does not possess any formal military power as the President's only function in this capacity is to sign the commission of officers on the advice of the Ministry of Defense.

====Role in Foreign Affairs====
The President may represent the state in foreign affairs on the advice of the government, including hosting and attending state visits with foreign powers. The President receives a letter of credence from all foreign ambassadors and accredits all Aredoan ambassadors on the advice of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

====Time limits on bills in the Chamber of Regions====
On the advice of the Chamber of Deputies, the President may impose a time limit on the Chamber of Region's consideration of a bill deemed urgent.

====Address to the Nation====
The President may make an address to the nation or an address to the National Assembly. Although the words spoken in the address are their own, such addresses require the consent of the government. Outside of these rare national addresses, there are no limitations on the President's speech and they may speak freely to media and issue press releases, although it is convention that the President refrains from any partisan comments that could be deemed as criticism of the government.

==Absence and Succession==
There is no vice presidency under the Aredoan Constitution. The only body that may exercise the powers of the presidency in the event of the temporary or permanent incapacitation of the presidency is the Presidential Council, consisting of the Chief Justice of the Superior Court, the President of the Chamber of Regions, and the President of the Chamber of Deputies.
This council regularly carries out functions of the President, such as signing bills into law, if the President is overseas. If the presidency is permanently vacated by resignation or removal from office, the Presidential Council carries out the functions of the presidency for no longer than two months until an extraordinary election is held.

==Removal from Office==
The President may be removed from office by the National Assembly for a limited number of reasons, including the failure to carry out their duties or criminal action while in office, by the method of impeachment. To impeach the President, the Chamber of Deputies must pass a resolution of impeachment by a simple majority vote. A joint sitting of the National Assembly is then held, and a two-thirds majority is needed in the joint sitting to remove the President from office.

'''Nahrava''', officially the '''Workers' Republic of Nahrava''', is a socialist state located in north-eastern [[Neria]]. The capital and largest city is [[Hadram]]. It has a population of 9,631,749, with most major settlements being near the coast or one of the major inland rivers. The [[Communist Party of Nahrava]] is constitutionally recognised as the nation's vanguard party. The party's [[General Secretary of the Communist Party of Nahrava|General Secretary]] is the head of state with responsibility for foreign and military affairs, simultaneously holding the position of [[Chairman of the Supreme Workers' Council (Nahrava)|Chairman of the Supreme Workers' Council]]. The head of government is the [[Premier of the Council of Ministers (Nahrava)|Premier]], who heads the [[Council of Ministers (Nahrava)|Council of Ministers]] and takes the lead on day-to-day domestic policy.

Nahrava originated as several culturally-similar groups of people in local clans began to develop in the region, with Islam and the language of Suhari being introduced by settlers and traders from [[Serriel]]. Nahrava [[Unification of Nahrava|unified]] in 1892, with a Sultanate being recognised by local leaders who still retained large levels of control over their own lands. The Sultanate consolidated its power over time, amassing a centralised standing army, before being ousted by local leaders in the [[Wāli Revolt]] which led to the formation of a power-sharing national government. Economic conditions declined significantly in the 1930s and 1940s, coinciding with a growth in income inequality. After years of agitation, communist revolutionaries started the [[Great Socialist Revolution]] on the 24th of September 1948 with the proclamation of the Provisional People's Republic. Civil war ensued and the communists emerged victorious in late 1949. The Workers' Republic of Nahrava was established in February 1950 when the Constitution was ratified by the Supreme Workers' Council.

In its early years of existence, the Workers' Republic presided over the construction of state housing that provided for hundreds of thousands of citizens. It also majorly expanded education and healthcare facilities, particularly in rural areas, leading to a huge uptick in the standard of living. The state militarised quickly and fought in the [[Great War]] on the side of the Coalition of Democratic Forces.

With communism on the decline globally in the latter half of the twentieth century, Nahrava's economy started to stagnate with public services becoming greatly strained. The government responded by reluctantly liberalising the economy to a minor degree and increasing trade with capitalist nations. Emboldened by this gradual liberalisation, and springing into action after the fall of the communist system in [[Lauchenoiria]], reformists in the political and military elite staged [[Treasonous Counter-Revolution of 2017|a coup]], seizing the capitol and placing General Secretary [[Tariq Al-Mahdi]] under house arrest. Premier [[Ibrahim Al-Faruq]] evaded capture and would lead the government's response to the coup, mobilising the [[Workers' Army of Nahrava|Workers' Army]] and rounding up hundreds of collaborators at all levels of government. The coup attempt officially collapsed after six days following the shelling of occupied government buildings by the Workers' Army. All leaders of the coup either were confirmed to have been killed in action or disappeared, with their fate unknown to this day.

Premier Ibrahim Al-Faruq became General Secretary following the coup, with his predecessor Al-Mahdi being ousted due to his perceived weakness that allowed the coup to take place. Al-Faruq's time in office has been characterised by increased militarisation and a hardline communist stance that has aimed to stamp out all reformist activity in government. All previous liberalisation efforts were reversed, with Nahrava becoming increasingly self-sufficient as it weans itself off imports from capitalist nations.

The state monitors the press and prohibits any counter-revolutionary material from being published, resulting in Nahrava being one of the worst countries in terms of press freedom. Political opposition is limited, with all minor parties in existence accepting the supremacy of the Communist Party and adhering to [[Nahravan socialism]].

The [[Armed Forces of Nahrava]] is the standing military force of Nahrava, consisting primarily of the Workers' Army, Navy and Air Force. It answers to the [[General Secretary of the Communist Party of Nahrava|General Secretary]] and the [[Council of Ministers (Nahrava)|Council of Ministers]] politically, while the [[Supreme Military Council (Nahrava)|Supreme Military Council]] is the military leadership.

It is estimated that in any given year, Nahrava spends between 5-7% of its GDP on military expenditure. It has a strong domestic arms industry, producing many of its small arms and armoured vehicles internally.

Conscription into full-time military service is not in place, but all young people are offered the opportunity to enlist for a year after graduating from either high school or university. Though voluntary, enlistment rates are typically very high as completing this year of military service is a requirement to enter the Professional Civil Service, one of the most coveted career paths in Nahrava.

In addition to the regular armed forces, all local councils in Nahrava maintain Revolutionary Defence Committees, which function as localised civil defence bodies. Revolutionary Defence Committees have access to small arms, albeit quite dated in comparison to the arsenal of the standing armed forces, and vehicles. Volunteers of the Committees undergo basic military and disaster relief training, and can be mobilised either by the local council or the national government in times of distress such as natural disasters. A number of Revolutionary Defence Committees based in the capital city of [[Hadram]] were mobilised by the national government in response to [[Treasonous Counter-Revolution of 2017|the 2017 coup]], manning roadblocks and checkpoints to assist the Workers' Army as it fought the insurgent forces.

'''Nahrava''', officially the '''Workers' Republic of Nahrava''', is a socialist state located in north-eastern [[Neria]]. The capital and largest city is [[Hadram]]. It has a population of 9,631,749, with most major settlements being near the coast or one of the major inland rivers. The [[Communist Party of Nahrava]] is constitutionally recognised as the nation's vanguard party. The party's [[General Secretary of the Communist Party of Nahrava|General Secretary]] is the head of state with responsibility for foreign and military affairs, simultaneously holding the position of [[Chairman of the Supreme Workers' Council (Nahrava)|Chairman of the Supreme Workers' Council]]. The head of government is the [[Premier of the Council of Ministers (Nahrava)|Premier]], who heads the [[Council of Ministers (Nahrava)|Council of Ministers]] and takes the lead on day-to-day domestic policy.

Nahrava originated as several culturally-similar groups of people in local clans began to develop in the region, with Islam and the language of Suhari being introduced by settlers and traders from [[Serriel]]. Nahrava [[Unification of Nahrava|unified]] in 1892, with a Sultanate being recognised by local leaders who still retained large levels of control over their own lands. The Sultanate consolidated its power over time, amassing a centralised standing army, before being ousted by local leaders in the [[Wāli Revolt]] which led to the formation of a power-sharing national government. Economic conditions declined significantly in the 1930s and 1940s, coinciding with a growth in income inequality. After years of agitation, communist revolutionaries started the [[Great Socialist Revolution]] on the 24th of September 1948 with the proclamation of the Provisional People's Republic. Civil war ensued and the communists emerged victorious in late 1949. The Workers' Republic of Nahrava was established in February 1950 when the Constitution was ratified by the Supreme Workers' Council.

In its early years of existence, the Workers' Republic presided over the construction of state housing that provided for hundreds of thousands of citizens. It also majorly expanded education and healthcare facilities, particularly in rural areas, leading to a huge uptick in the standard of living. The state militarised quickly and fought in the [[Great War]] on the side of the Coalition of Democratic Forces.

With communism on the decline globally in the latter half of the twentieth century, Nahrava's economy started to stagnate with public services becoming greatly strained. The government responded by reluctantly liberalising the economy to a minor degree and increasing trade with capitalist nations. Emboldened by this gradual liberalisation, and springing into action after the fall of the communist system in [[Lauchenoiria]], reformists in the political and military elite staged [[Treasonous Counter-Revolution of 2017|a coup]], seizing the capitol and placing General Secretary [[Tariq Al-Mahdi]] under house arrest. Premier [[Ibrahim Al-Faruq]] evaded capture and would lead the government's response to the coup, mobilising the [[Workers' Army of Nahrava|Workers' Army]] and rounding up hundreds of collaborators at all levels of government. The coup attempt officially collapsed after six days following the shelling of occupied government buildings by the Workers' Army. All leaders of the coup either were confirmed to have been killed in action or disappeared, with their fate unknown to this day.

Premier Ibrahim Al-Faruq became General Secretary following the coup, with his predecessor Al-Mahdi being ousted due to his perceived weakness that allowed the coup to take place. Al-Faruq's time in office has been characterised by increased militarisation and a hardline communist stance that has aimed to stamp out all reformist activity in government. All previous liberalisation efforts were reversed, with Nahrava becoming increasingly self-sufficient as it weans itself off imports from capitalist nations.

The state monitors the press and prohibits any counter-revolutionary material from being published, resulting in Nahrava being one of the worst countries in terms of press freedom. Political opposition is limited, with all minor parties in existence accepting the supremacy of the Communist Party and adhering to [[Nahravan socialism]].

'''Aredoa''', officially the '''Republic of Aredoa''', is a democratic parliamentary republic located in the [[International Democratic Union]]. The capital of Aredoa is [[Vahania]], also the largest city. Aredoa has a population of 29,856,398 and covers an area of 64,755 km². The head of state is the [[President of Aredoa|President]], who is directly elected by the people and fulfills a largely ceremonial yet constitutionally important role. The head of government is the [[Chief Minister of Aredoa|Chief Minister]], who is elected by the Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of the [[National Assembly of Aredoa|National Assembly]] and appointed by the President.

Aredoa was forcibly colonized by the Costenan Empire in 1765. During the colonial period, the country was governed by the Colonial Governor of Aredoa who answered directly to the Costenan Crown. In the latter half of the nineteenth century, newer generations were growing increasingly disillusioned with colonial rule and the implanted Costenan culture. A number of societies formed advocating for various Aredoan cultural interests, which all became strongly intertwined and were later pushed underground and towards armed revolution due to crackdowns by the colonial government. The revolutionaries won a majority of seats in the 1876 General Election to the Colonial Parliament; they refused to take their seats in the powerless colonial body and instead interpreted the election result as a mandate for the Revolutionary Aredoan Congress to act on behalf of the nation. At the first post-election meeting of the Revolutionary Aredoan Congress, the Congress unanimously voted to issue the [[Aredoan Declaration of Independence]]. The [[Revolutionary Aredoan Army]] subsequently moved to occupy several towns and cities in the strongly revolutionary south-west of Aredoa, marking the start of the [[Aredoan War of Independence]].

On the 3rd of August 1879, Aredoa officially gained its independence with the promulgation of the Treaty of Vahania, resulting in a Costenan withdrawal from Aredoa. The Republic of Aredoa was proclaimed on the same day. The Constitution of Aredoa was ratified in February 1880, establishing the framework that lays out how Aredoa is governed to this day. Modern-day Aredoa is a multi-party democracy with a strong economy, in large part thanks to the thriving tourism industry which sees tourists arriving from near and far due to Aredoa's natural beauty and culture.

== Etymology ==
The name Aredoa emerges from the Old Aredoan phrase ''arah d'Oah'', meaning 'land of the sun'. The sun played a prominent role in early Aredoan culture & mythology and remains a core part of the nation to this day, being emblazoned on the center of the national flag. Each year at the summer solstice, the Festival of Sun is held nationwide in celebration of Aredoan culture.

== History ==

=== Early History ===
The earliest known modern human remains in Aredoa date back to the late Palaeolithic period. Early settlers were reliant on the sea for their livelihood, and so the first recorded permanent settlements were in coastal areas.

As the Neolithic period arrived, large farming settlements came into fruition across Aredoa, eventually forming the first towns. There was great variety in how these local areas were administered: some practiced hereditary leadership, while others had tribal councils operated by the heads of the most influential families. Modern research has explored the nature of the communal leadership of a select few early settlements.

Based on early written records, the first resemblance of a unified Aredoa was c. 100 CE. Although the country was still very much governed on a local basis with no overarching national authority, it is from this period that local tribal leaders began meeting on a biannual basis as the various Aredoan settlements had developed cultural similarities making them distinct from settlements in bordering regions. Concepts of non-aggression and trade across towns were quickly developed; in later centuries, the tribes had developed some shared conventions on inheritance, disputes, and land ownership.

=== Costenan Colonial Rule ===

===== Aredoa pre-colonization =====
By the beginning of the eighteenth century, Aredoa still lacked strong national cohesion, although its borders were widely accepted and largely match the modern day borders. Three dynasties each controlled a region of Aredoa: The Velazah dynasty, controlling North-Eastern Aredoa, the Florron dynasty, controlling North-Western Aredoa, and the Mamanté dynasty, controlling Southern Aredoa.

The dynasty heads acted as something of an informal triumvirate in governing the country at large, particularly when it came to relations with external powers and developing a shared criminal system for high crimes, but each of the dynasty heads retained almost complete control over the governance of their region save for foreign affairs and justice.

In 1765, Aredoa was invaded by Costeno. The three dynasties and their heads united in their opposition to the invasion and took up arms, under the lead of Silvestre Mamanté. Mamanté was killed in battle in June 1765, leaving the Mamanté dynasty without an heir of age. The heads of the Velazah dynasty fled Aredoa shortly after the death of Mamanté, while the Florron dynasty struck a deal with Costeno to voluntarily bring its territorial holdings under Costenan control in exchange for an aristocratic future for their dynasty. A political vacuum had been created amongst the native Aredoans. Leaderless and demoralized, Aredoan opposition to Costenan conquest ended shortly after Mamanté's death, with the Empire of Costeno soon assuming control of all of Aredoa.

==== Costenan Control ====

[[File:ColonialArrivalAredoa.jpg|thumb|right|The arrival of Costenan colonial forces in 1765, depicted in an 1830 painting.]]

During the colonial period from 1765, Aredoa was ruled by the Colonial Governor of Aredoa, who answered directly to the Costenan Crown. The Colonial Governor was advised by the Council of Advisors, consisting of wealthy settlers and influential natives who had submitted to Costenan rule; this formed an aristocracy with Councillors wielding much political power and controlling significant swathes of land, often land that was forcibly removed from natives who opposed Costenan colonization.

Costenan rule saw rapid industrialization, with manufacturing and mining becoming more prominent. Rural Aredoa remained strongly agricultural- however, with the aristocratic class controlling over 70% of farmland from 1790, farmers grew poorer despite increased output due to the exorbitant rent charged by landlords onto their tenants (whose ancestors had owned, rather than rented, the land, before it had been forcefully reassigned to the elite Costenan settlers).

In 1823, decrees were introduced to liberalize Aredoa and eliminate the resentment that was slowly building up amongst the native people against the aristocracy. The Colonial Parliament of Aredoa was introduced, giving the illusion of democracy. However, only those with property of a set value or those with income of a set value were enfranchised to vote in or stand for election, resulting in just 15% of adult men being able to vote. As a result, the Colonial Parliament was dominated by the aristocratic class, with the sons of Councillors often serving in the body to gain experience before assuming their fathers' position on the Council of Advisors. Voting requirements were progressively relaxed over time, but the Colonial Parliament remained a largely toothless body that the administration was not accountable to.
=== War of Independence ===
In the latter half of the nineteenth century, newer generations were growing increasingly disillusioned with colonial rule and implanted Costenan culture. A number of societies formed advocating for various Aredoan cultural interests, which all became strongly intertwined and collectively formed the Aredoan Cultural Congress, a body that acted as the central committee for the revival of the Aredoan culture.

[[File:XiomaraVallez.jpg|thumb|left|Xiomara Vallez, Minister of Internal Affairs in the Revolutionary Aredoan Congress, pictured in the uniform of the Revolutionary Aredoan Army. Vallez served as a Captain in the revolutionary forces.]]

The Aredoan Cultural Congress and its affiliated socities were banned by the colonial government in 1872, with seditious conspiracy given as the official reason. The societies were driven underground and continued to operate in secret. Crackdowns and arrests on the now-secret socities became more aggressive throughout the year of 1873, including the execution of five senior members for sedition against the colonial government. These developments radicalized the movement, with the majority of members soon coming to believe that armed revolution to achieve self-determination was the only viable way forward. The Aredoan Cultural Congress was rebranded as the Revolutionary Aredoan Congress in 1874 and elected an Executive Committee to take charge of the revolutionary movement. Under the lead of the Executive Committee, the revolutionary movement began to militarize as weapons were smuggled into the country and the Revolutionary Aredoan Army was established.

After success in local elections in southern Aredoa, the emboldened revolutionaries won a majority of seats in the 1876 General Election to the Colonial Parliament; they refused to take their seats in the powerless colonial body and instead interpreted the election result as a mandate for the Revolutionary Aredoan Congress to act on behalf of the nation. At the first post-election meeting of the Revolutionary Aredoan Congress, the Congress unanimously voted to issue the [[Aredoan Declaration of Independence]]. The [[Revolutionary Aredoan Army]] subsequently moved to occupy several towns and cities in the strongly revolutionary south-west of Aredoa, marking the start of the [[Aredoan War of Independence]].

The colonial government's immediate reaction to the developments was to denounce the situation as an act of terrorism rather than a war, which the revolutionaries deemed it to be. The colonial military was deployed to the south-west of Aredoa with the aim of swiftly retaking the cities held by revolutionaries and, after facing strong initial resistance from the revolutionaries, began long-term sieges of the cities. For more than four months, revolutionary forces were intermittently besieged by the superior forces of the colonial government. The revolutionaries gained the respect of Aredoa and indeed many onlookers around the world as they fought while massively outnumbered, still managing to inflict much greater casualties on the colonial forces and showing no sign of letting up.

The breakthrough in the initial conflict came after four months of fighting. Aredoans based in areas of the country that conflict had not yet spread to became emboldened by the ferocity of the revolutionaries and organized local community resistance, carrying out their own attacks on colonial forces including sabotaging colonial infrastructure and supplies, and later- after being supplied with arms by the Revolutionary Aredoan Army- also carrying out ambushes on police and assassination attempts on colonial officials. In order to prevent the complete breakdown of order in these areas, the colonial government was forced to withdraw a significant portion of their forces that had been besieging the revolutionary strongholds to instead quell unrest in other parts of the country.

[[File:TOVreaction.jpg|thumb|right|Aredoans take to the streets of Vahania in celebration following the proclamation of the Republic of Aredoa.]]

The withdrawal of these forces allowed the revolutionaries (that had previously been under siege and on the defensive for the entirety of the conflict so far) to launch counter-attacks throughout 1878, forcing back the colonial forces that were soon stretched thin. Major territorial changes were sporadic throughout the year, with the revolutionaries instead focusing on becoming more coordinated and carrying out a number of guerilla attacks to demoralize and disrupt colonial forces.

In January 1879, revolutionary forces began a coordinated operation to expand their holdings by liberating further towns and cities with the goal of inching closer to Vahania, the strongly fortified capital city that was the seat of the colonial government. In February and April 1879 respectively, the revolutionaries captured Ahonda Harbor and Bancoa Port, the two largest seaports in Aredoa that had been used throughout the conflict by the colonial government to replenish supplies and ship reinforcements in from overseas. The capture of the ports by the revolutionaries represented a significant blow to the colonial government that was becoming increasingly isolated, facing the risk of being cut off from overseas support but also becoming encircled by revolutionary forces. With the writing on the wall for colonial forces, on the 28th of June 1879 the colonial government and revolutionary forces established a ceasefire, establishing diplomatic channels for negotiating an end to the conflict without further fighting.

On the 3rd of August 1879, representatives of both sides signed the Treaty of Vahania to end the conflict. The terms of the treaty, which had been negotiated for over a month, mandated the complete withdrawal of colonial forces. In exchange, the newly established Republic of Aredoa would assume all Aredoan debt, including bearing the brunt of the damage caused by the War of Independence, and Costeno was allowed to retain control of a limited number of Aredoan ports for trading use only, with any Costenan military presence prohibited.

Mere hours after the signing of the treaty, the Republic of Aredoa was officially proclaimed by the revolutionaries in a ceremony attended by thousands. The Flag of Aredoa was hoisted and an interim Charter of Governance was promulgated, establishing a provisional government and a basic political system until a constitutional convention could ratify the permanent Constitution of Aredoa.

=== Post-Independence Aredoa ===

== Geography ==
Aredoa is an island nation located in eastern Hesperida, in the [[Tenebric Ocean]]. It shares its only land border with [[Mallancaland]], but has a maritime border close to its north-west coast with the [[Slokais Islands]].

===Climate===

[[File:Aredoa Provinces.png|thumb||right|upright 0.5|The provinces of Aredoa]]

Aredoa has a tropical climate, moderated by cool coastal winds. The summer months of June to August average a temperature of 28 °C (82 °F), while the winter months of December to February average a temperature of 19 °C (68 °F). The eastern region features mountains near the border with Mallancaland, also containing some tropical rainforests that have a year-round wet season and are home to a number of indigenous species.

===Regions===
Aredoa is divided into three provinces: Hasprana, Trolopia, and Monterra. The provinces represent the areas controlled by three respective dynasties before Aredoa was unified under one central state following Costenan invasion. In the modern day, the provinces serve no administrative or political function but have strong historical and cultural backgrounds.

For administrative purposes, Aredoa is divided into 30 regions which form the basis of the system of local government. Each region elects a council that exercises local political power through the mayor-council government system.

Aredoa's national electoral constituencies were designed to be roughly equal in terms of population and see minor adjustments each decade by an independent commission to retain this equality of population.

== Demographics ==

== Government ==
Aredoa is a constitutional republic with a parliamentary system of government. The [[National Assembly of Aredoa|National Assembly]] is the bicameral national parliament composed of Chamber of Deputies, the lower chamber, and the Chamber of Regions, the upper chambers. Both chambers sit in the National House of Aredoa on Vallez Street, [[Vahania]].

}}

The [[President of Aredoa|President]] serves as the largely ceremonial head of state, elected for a seven-year term which is renewable once. The President is strongly confined by the constitutional obligations placed on the office with little room for discretion. The President appoints the Chief Minister following their election by the Chamber of Deputies, signs bills into law, and acts as the ceremonial Commander in Chief of the armed forces. The incumbent President is [[Maria Ortalez]], serving since the 3rd of August 2021.

The [[Chief Minister of Aredoa|Chief Minister]] serves as the chief executive and head of government. They head the Government of Aredoa and nominate cabinet ministers for appointment by the President. The Chief Minister exercises executive power through the cabinet and implements policy by wielding their majority in the Chamber of Deputies. The incumbent Chief Minister is [[Alejandro Lopez]], serving since the 16th of January 2019.

The Chamber of Deputies has 400 members (Deputies) elected to represent multi-seat constituencies under the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote. The Council of Regions is composed of 120 members (Regional Delegates), appointed by Regional Councils via the D'Hondt System.

The [[Superior Court of Aredoa|Superior Court]] is the highest judicial body in Aredoa. The court is Aredoa's court of final appeal and has the power of judicial review over both national and regional government bodies. The Superior Court can strike down acts of the National Assembly and injunct the actions of government departments.

=== Foreign Relations & Military ===
Aredoa is a member of the [[League of IDU Nations]] and the [[World Assembly]]. It participates in a number of intergovernmental economic organizations including the [[Global Development Investment Bank]] and the [[International Monetary and Trade Organization]], of which it is a founding member. [[Haesan]] possesses a naval base in Aredoa.

Owing to Aredoa's status as an island nation, the Aredoan Navy has long been Aredoa's largest military branch by expenditure and personnel. The navy maintains a very high presence in patrolling Aredoa's maritime borders, even more so since the outbreak of the [[Third Kaijan War]], [[Mallancaland Civil War]] and [[Golden Blade Insurgency]] nearby. During the [[Great War]], the navy saw more combat than the other branches of the military. Aredoa boasts a thriving shipbuilding industry and the majority of its naval equipment is produced domestically.

The Aredoan Air Force is responsible for protecting Aredoan airspace and providing operational support to other branches of the Armed Forces. In 2021, the Armed Forces Committee of the Chamber of Deputies produced a report describing the air force as "outdated", remarking that this posed a threat to national security and recommending modernisation; in 2023, this report was acted on by the government who invested A₱18.3bn in Haesanite aircraft, ranging from stealth fighter jets and helicopters to UAVs and anti-aircraft weaponry.<ref>https://media.idugov.com/2023/10/23/aredoa-to-overhaul-air-force-with-a%e2%82%b118-3-billion-investment-in-haesanite-aircraft/</ref>

The Aredoan Army is the ground force of the Armed Forces, also containing a number of subsidiary branches including the elite Special Forces Unit and the Armoured Division, which operates tanks and armoured personnel carriers.

Rowing and baseball are the national sports of Aredoa, as recognized in the Aredoan Sporting Act of 1983. Water sports feature heavily in Aredoan society, most notably rowing, open sea swimming, diving, and water polo. Most water sports are largely amateur, receiving government funding at both a competitive and recreational level.

Baseball is the most popular professional sport and a popular spectator sport. The [[Aredoan Elite Baseball League]] is the top-flight baseball league, featuring 16 teams from around Aredoa competing to win the title. Other popular professional sports include association football, basketball, volleyball, and boxing.

The importance of sports is emphasized within the education system, with the mandatory physical education curriculum incorporating a number of sports. In 2018, the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Social Affairs launched a joint campaign encouraging all Aredoans to take up at least one form of sport or exercise, accompanied with a large boost in funding for specialized sports such as elderly sports and disability sports.

The '''National Monuments of Aredoa''' are buildings, sites and structures in [[Aredoa]] designated as historically, geographically or culturally significant and worthy of preservation by the state. A number of national monuments are also recognised by the [[World Assembly Trust for Cultural Heritage]] as World Heritage Sites.

The first national monuments were designated in 1887 following the introduction of the National Heritage Act which authorised the government to purchase and maintain land of national importance. Today, the designation and maintenance of national monuments is the responsibility of the [[Government of Aredoa|Ministry of Culture]].

Since 2016, all national monuments have been owned either directly or indirectly by the state, with none in private hands. National monuments are hotspots for tourism in the country, with many offering services/facilities such as museums, visitor centres and guided tours.

'''Independent Socialists''' is a parliamentary grouping in [[Aredoa]]. It is not a formal political party but rather a technical group formed by the three independents elected to the Chamber of Deputies in the [[2023 Aredoan General Election]]. The week after its formation, two independent members of the Chamber of Regions joined the Independent Socialists, giving the grouping formal status in both chambers of the [[National Assembly of Aredoa|National Assembly]].

The group exercises collective leadership, with its members meeting weekly. However, according to parliamentary procedure, the group was required to nominate a Floor Leader in the Chamber of Deputies. They nominated Deputy [[Fernando Sintes]], the former Mayor of Atlozano, for the role. The group does not have a formal whip, but it is common for all five members to vote the same way on any given matter. The group regularly publishes press releases, indicating the unanimous stance of its members on a wide range of topics.

==History==

Independent Socialists was formed on November 19th 2023, after the 2023 General Election that saw three socialist independent candidates elected to the Chamber of Deputies. The group was formed to "strengthen the socialist voice in the National Assembly", largely due to the benefits that come with formal status such as increased floor time and improved committee opportunities. The Independent Socialists managed to secure the Vice Chairship of the Foreign Affairs Committee, seen as a major coup for the group.

On the 23rd of November, the group's members were sworn in as Deputies of the National Assembly and nominated Fernando Sintes as their Floor Leader. The following day, two independent members of the Chamber of Regions joined the group.

'''Aredoa''', officially the '''Republic of Aredoa''', is a democratic parliamentary republic located in the [[International Democratic Union]]. The capital of Aredoa is [[Vahania]], also the largest city. Aredoa has a population of 29,856,398 and covers an area of 64,755 km². The head of state is the [[President of Aredoa|President]], who is directly elected by the people and fulfills a largely ceremonial yet constitutionally important role. The head of government is the [[Chief Minister of Aredoa|Chief Minister]], who is elected by the Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of the [[National Assembly of Aredoa|National Assembly]] and appointed by the President.

Aredoa was forcibly colonized by the Costenan Empire in 1765. During the colonial period, the country was governed by the Colonial Governor of Aredoa who answered directly to the Costenan Crown. In the latter half of the nineteenth century, newer generations were growing increasingly disillusioned with colonial rule and the implanted Costenan culture. A number of societies formed advocating for various Aredoan cultural interests, which all became strongly intertwined and were later pushed underground and towards armed revolution due to crackdowns by the colonial government. The revolutionaries won a majority of seats in the 1876 General Election to the Colonial Parliament; they refused to take their seats in the powerless colonial body and instead interpreted the election result as a mandate for the Revolutionary Aredoan Congress to act on behalf of the nation. At the first post-election meeting of the Revolutionary Aredoan Congress, the Congress unanimously voted to issue the [[Aredoan Declaration of Independence]]. The [[Revolutionary Aredoan Army]] subsequently moved to occupy several towns and cities in the strongly revolutionary south-west of Aredoa, marking the start of the [[Aredoan War of Independence]].

On the 3rd of August 1879, Aredoa officially gained its independence with the promulgation of the Treaty of Vahania, resulting in a Costenan withdrawal from Aredoa. The Republic of Aredoa was proclaimed on the same day. The Constitution of Aredoa was ratified in February 1880, establishing the framework that lays out how Aredoa is governed to this day. Modern-day Aredoa is a multi-party democracy with a strong economy, in large part thanks to the thriving tourism industry which sees tourists arriving from near and far due to Aredoa's natural beauty and culture.

== Etymology ==
The name Aredoa emerges from the Old Aredoan phrase ''arah d'Oah'', meaning 'land of the sun'. The sun played a prominent role in early Aredoan culture & mythology and remains a core part of the nation to this day, being emblazoned on the center of the national flag. Each year at the summer solstice, the Festival of Sun is held nationwide in celebration of Aredoan culture.

== History ==

=== Early History ===
The earliest known modern human remains in Aredoa date back to the late Palaeolithic period. Early settlers were reliant on the sea for their livelihood, and so the first recorded permanent settlements were in coastal areas.

As the Neolithic period arrived, large farming settlements came into fruition across Aredoa, eventually forming the first towns. There was great variety in how these local areas were administered: some practiced hereditary leadership, while others had tribal councils operated by the heads of the most influential families. Modern research has explored the nature of the communal leadership of a select few early settlements.

Based on early written records, the first resemblance of a unified Aredoa was c. 100 CE. Although the country was still very much governed on a local basis with no overarching national authority, it is from this period that local tribal leaders began meeting on a biannual basis as the various Aredoan settlements had developed cultural similarities making them distinct from settlements in bordering regions. Concepts of non-aggression and trade across towns were quickly developed; in later centuries, the tribes had developed some shared conventions on inheritance, disputes, and land ownership.

=== Costenan Colonial Rule ===

===== Aredoa pre-colonization =====
By the beginning of the eighteenth century, Aredoa still lacked strong national cohesion, although its borders were widely accepted and largely match the modern day borders. Three dynasties each controlled a region of Aredoa: The Velazah dynasty, controlling North-Eastern Aredoa, the Florron dynasty, controlling North-Western Aredoa, and the Mamanté dynasty, controlling Southern Aredoa.

The dynasty heads acted as something of an informal triumvirate in governing the country at large, particularly when it came to relations with external powers and developing a shared criminal system for high crimes, but each of the dynasty heads retained almost complete control over the governance of their region save for foreign affairs and justice.

In 1765, Aredoa was invaded by Costeno. The three dynasties and their heads united in their opposition to the invasion and took up arms, under the lead of Silvestre Mamanté. Mamanté was killed in battle in June 1765, leaving the Mamanté dynasty without an heir of age. The heads of the Velazah dynasty fled Aredoa shortly after the death of Mamanté, while the Florron dynasty struck a deal with Costeno to voluntarily bring its territorial holdings under Costenan control in exchange for an aristocratic future for their dynasty. A political vacuum had been created amongst the native Aredoans. Leaderless and demoralized, Aredoan opposition to Costenan conquest ended shortly after Mamanté's death, with the Empire of Costeno soon assuming control of all of Aredoa.

==== Costenan Control ====

[[File:ColonialArrivalAredoa.jpg|thumb|right|The arrival of Costenan colonial forces in 1765, depicted in an 1830 painting.]]

During the colonial period from 1765, Aredoa was ruled by the Colonial Governor of Aredoa, who answered directly to the Costenan Crown. The Colonial Governor was advised by the Council of Advisors, consisting of wealthy settlers and influential natives who had submitted to Costenan rule; this formed an aristocracy with Councillors wielding much political power and controlling significant swathes of land, often land that was forcibly removed from natives who opposed Costenan colonization.

Costenan rule saw rapid industrialization, with manufacturing and mining becoming more prominent. Rural Aredoa remained strongly agricultural- however, with the aristocratic class controlling over 70% of farmland from 1790, farmers grew poorer despite increased output due to the exorbitant rent charged by landlords onto their tenants (whose ancestors had owned, rather than rented, the land, before it had been forcefully reassigned to the elite Costenan settlers).

In 1823, decrees were introduced to liberalize Aredoa and eliminate the resentment that was slowly building up amongst the native people against the aristocracy. The Colonial Parliament of Aredoa was introduced, giving the illusion of democracy. However, only those with property of a set value or those with income of a set value were enfranchised to vote in or stand for election, resulting in just 15% of adult men being able to vote. As a result, the Colonial Parliament was dominated by the aristocratic class, with the sons of Councillors often serving in the body to gain experience before assuming their fathers' position on the Council of Advisors. Voting requirements were progressively relaxed over time, but the Colonial Parliament remained a largely toothless body that the administration was not accountable to.
=== War of Independence ===
In the latter half of the nineteenth century, newer generations were growing increasingly disillusioned with colonial rule and implanted Costenan culture. A number of societies formed advocating for various Aredoan cultural interests, which all became strongly intertwined and collectively formed the Aredoan Cultural Congress, a body that acted as the central committee for the revival of the Aredoan culture.

[[File:XiomaraVallez.jpg|thumb|left|Xiomara Vallez, Minister of Internal Affairs in the Revolutionary Aredoan Congress, pictured in the uniform of the Revolutionary Aredoan Army. Vallez served as a Captain in the revolutionary forces.]]

The Aredoan Cultural Congress and its affiliated socities were banned by the colonial government in 1872, with seditious conspiracy given as the official reason. The societies were driven underground and continued to operate in secret. Crackdowns and arrests on the now-secret socities became more aggressive throughout the year of 1873, including the execution of five senior members for sedition against the colonial government. These developments radicalized the movement, with the majority of members soon coming to believe that armed revolution to achieve self-determination was the only viable way forward. The Aredoan Cultural Congress was rebranded as the Revolutionary Aredoan Congress in 1874 and elected an Executive Committee to take charge of the revolutionary movement. Under the lead of the Executive Committee, the revolutionary movement began to militarize as weapons were smuggled into the country and the Revolutionary Aredoan Army was established.

After success in local elections in southern Aredoa, the emboldened revolutionaries won a majority of seats in the 1876 General Election to the Colonial Parliament; they refused to take their seats in the powerless colonial body and instead interpreted the election result as a mandate for the Revolutionary Aredoan Congress to act on behalf of the nation. At the first post-election meeting of the Revolutionary Aredoan Congress, the Congress unanimously voted to issue the [[Aredoan Declaration of Independence]]. The [[Revolutionary Aredoan Army]] subsequently moved to occupy several towns and cities in the strongly revolutionary south-west of Aredoa, marking the start of the [[Aredoan War of Independence]].

The colonial government's immediate reaction to the developments was to denounce the situation as an act of terrorism rather than a war, which the revolutionaries deemed it to be. The colonial military was deployed to the south-west of Aredoa with the aim of swiftly retaking the cities held by revolutionaries and, after facing strong initial resistance from the revolutionaries, began long-term sieges of the cities. For more than four months, revolutionary forces were intermittently besieged by the superior forces of the colonial government. The revolutionaries gained the respect of Aredoa and indeed many onlookers around the world as they fought while massively outnumbered, still managing to inflict much greater casualties on the colonial forces and showing no sign of letting up.

The breakthrough in the initial conflict came after four months of fighting. Aredoans based in areas of the country that conflict had not yet spread to became emboldened by the ferocity of the revolutionaries and organized local community resistance, carrying out their own attacks on colonial forces including sabotaging colonial infrastructure and supplies, and later- after being supplied with arms by the Revolutionary Aredoan Army- also carrying out ambushes on police and assassination attempts on colonial officials. In order to prevent the complete breakdown of order in these areas, the colonial government was forced to withdraw a significant portion of their forces that had been besieging the revolutionary strongholds to instead quell unrest in other parts of the country.

[[File:TOVreaction.jpg|thumb|right|Aredoans take to the streets of Vahania in celebration following the proclamation of the Republic of Aredoa.]]

The withdrawal of these forces allowed the revolutionaries (that had previously been under siege and on the defensive for the entirety of the conflict so far) to launch counter-attacks throughout 1878, forcing back the colonial forces that were soon stretched thin. Major territorial changes were sporadic throughout the year, with the revolutionaries instead focusing on becoming more coordinated and carrying out a number of guerilla attacks to demoralize and disrupt colonial forces.

In January 1879, revolutionary forces began a coordinated operation to expand their holdings by liberating further towns and cities with the goal of inching closer to Vahania, the strongly fortified capital city that was the seat of the colonial government. In February and April 1879 respectively, the revolutionaries captured Ahonda Harbor and Bancoa Port, the two largest seaports in Aredoa that had been used throughout the conflict by the colonial government to replenish supplies and ship reinforcements in from overseas. The capture of the ports by the revolutionaries represented a significant blow to the colonial government that was becoming increasingly isolated, facing the risk of being cut off from overseas support but also becoming encircled by revolutionary forces. With the writing on the wall for colonial forces, on the 28th of June 1879 the colonial government and revolutionary forces established a ceasefire, establishing diplomatic channels for negotiating an end to the conflict without further fighting.

On the 3rd of August 1879, representatives of both sides signed the Treaty of Vahania to end the conflict. The terms of the treaty, which had been negotiated for over a month, mandated the complete withdrawal of colonial forces. In exchange, the newly established Republic of Aredoa would assume all Aredoan debt, including bearing the brunt of the damage caused by the War of Independence, and Costeno was allowed to retain control of a limited number of Aredoan ports for trading use only, with any Costenan military presence prohibited.

Mere hours after the signing of the treaty, the Republic of Aredoa was officially proclaimed by the revolutionaries in a ceremony attended by thousands. The Flag of Aredoa was hoisted and an interim Charter of Governance was promulgated, establishing a provisional government and a basic political system until a constitutional convention could ratify the permanent Constitution of Aredoa.

=== Post-Independence Aredoa ===

== Geography ==
Aredoa is an island nation located in eastern Hesperida, in the [[Tenebric Ocean]]. It shares its only land border with [[Mallancaland]], but has a maritime border close to its north-west coast with the [[Slokais Islands]].

===Climate===

[[File:Aredoa Provinces.png|thumb||right|upright 0.5|The provinces of Aredoa]]

Aredoa has a tropical climate, moderated by cool coastal winds. The summer months of June to August average a temperature of 28 °C (82 °F), while the winter months of December to February average a temperature of 19 °C (68 °F). The eastern region features mountains near the border with Mallancaland, also containing some tropical rainforests that have a year-round wet season and are home to a number of indigenous species.

===Regions===
Aredoa is divided into three provinces: Hasprana, Trolopia, and Monterra. The provinces represent the areas controlled by three respective dynasties before Aredoa was unified under one central state following Costenan invasion. In the modern day, the provinces serve no administrative or political function but have strong historical and cultural backgrounds.

For administrative purposes, Aredoa is divided into 30 regions which form the basis of the system of local government. Each region elects a council that exercises local political power through the mayor-council government system.

Aredoa's national electoral constituencies were designed to be roughly equal in terms of population and see minor adjustments each decade by an independent commission to retain this equality of population.

== Demographics ==

== Government ==
Aredoa is a constitutional republic with a parliamentary system of government. The [[National Assembly of Aredoa|National Assembly]] is the bicameral national parliament composed of Chamber of Deputies, the lower chamber, and the Chamber of Regions, the upper chambers. Both chambers sit in the National House of Aredoa on Vallez Street, [[Vahania]].

}}

The [[President of Aredoa|President]] serves as the largely ceremonial head of state, elected for a seven-year term which is renewable once. The President is strongly confined by the constitutional obligations placed on the office with little room for discretion. The President appoints the Chief Minister following their election by the Chamber of Deputies, signs bills into law, and acts as the ceremonial Commander in Chief of the armed forces. The incumbent President is [[Maria Ortalez]], serving since the 3rd of August 2021.

The [[Chief Minister of Aredoa|Chief Minister]] serves as the chief executive and head of government. They head the Government of Aredoa and nominate cabinet ministers for appointment by the President. The Chief Minister exercises executive power through the cabinet and implements policy by wielding their majority in the Chamber of Deputies. The incumbent Chief Minister is [[Alejandro Lopez]], serving since the 16th of January 2019.

The Chamber of Deputies has 400 members (Deputies) elected to represent multi-seat constituencies under the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote. The Council of Regions is composed of 120 members (Regional Delegates), appointed by Regional Councils via the D'Hondt System.

The [[Superior Court of Aredoa|Superior Court]] is the highest judicial body in Aredoa. The court is Aredoa's court of final appeal and has the power of judicial review over both national and regional government bodies. The Superior Court can strike down acts of the National Assembly and injunct the actions of government departments.

=== Foreign Relations & Military ===
Aredoa is a member of the [[League of IDU Nations]] and the [[World Assembly]]. It participates in a number of intergovernmental economic organizations including the [[Global Development Investment Bank]] and the [[International Monetary and Trade Organization]], of which it is a founding member. [[Haesan]] possesses a naval base in Aredoa.

Owing to Aredoa's status as an island nation, the Aredoan Navy has long been Aredoa's largest military branch by expenditure and personnel. The navy maintains a very high presence in patrolling Aredoa's maritime borders, even more so since the outbreak of the [[Third Kaijan War]], [[Mallancaland Civil War]] and [[Golden Blade Insurgency]] nearby. During the [[Great War]], the navy saw more combat than the other branches of the military. Aredoa boasts a thriving shipbuilding industry and the majority of its naval equipment is produced domestically.

The Aredoan Air Force is responsible for protecting Aredoan airspace and providing operational support to other branches of the Armed Forces. In 2021, the Armed Forces Committee of the Chamber of Deputies produced a report describing the air force as "outdated", remarking that this posed a threat to national security and recommending modernisation; in 2023, this report was acted on by the government who invested A₱18.3bn in Haesanite aircraft, ranging from stealth fighter jets and helicopters to UAVs and anti-aircraft weaponry.<ref>https://media.idugov.com/2023/10/23/aredoa-to-overhaul-air-force-with-a%e2%82%b118-3-billion-investment-in-haesanite-aircraft/</ref>

The Aredoan Army is the ground force of the Armed Forces, also containing a number of subsidiary branches including the elite Special Forces Unit and the Armoured Division, which operates tanks and armoured personnel carriers.

Rowing and baseball are the national sports of Aredoa, as recognized in the Aredoan Sporting Act of 1983. Water sports feature heavily in Aredoan society, most notably rowing, open sea swimming, diving, and water polo. Most water sports are largely amateur, receiving government funding at both a competitive and recreational level.

Baseball is the most popular professional sport and a popular spectator sport. The [[Aredoan Elite Baseball League]] is the top-flight baseball league, featuring 16 teams from around Aredoa competing to win the title. Other popular professional sports include association football, basketball, volleyball, and boxing.

The importance of sports is emphasized within the education system, with the mandatory physical education curriculum incorporating a number of sports. In 2018, the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Social Affairs launched a joint campaign encouraging all Aredoans to take up at least one form of sport or exercise, accompanied with a large boost in funding for specialized sports such as elderly sports and disability sports.

The '''Freedom Party''' is a nationalist, anti-immigration political party in [[Aredoa]]. The party describes itself as right-wing but is regularly referred to as far-right by the press and political commentators.<ref>https://media.idugov.com/2023/09/23/futurism-xiomera-and-immigration-key-moments-from-the-party-leader-debate/</ref>

Formed in 2007 by former members of the [[National Conservative Party (Aredoa)|National Conservative Party]], the party first entered the [[National Assembly of Aredoa|National Assembly]] in the 2009 elections. As of 2024, it currently holds 27 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and 6 in the Chamber of Regions.

The Freedom Party operates an anti-immigration platform, being staunchly opposed to the increased intake of immigrants and asylum seekers that has occurred since the outbreak of the [[Third Kaijan War]] and the [[Mallancaland Civil War]] nearby. In its 2023 election manifesto, the party promised a blanket ban on immigration from the Kaijan Islands and [[Mallancaland]].<ref>https://media.idugov.com/2023/11/13/aredoan-election-workers-party-claims-victory-but-right-wing-gains-ground/</ref> A number of the party's elected officials have come under criminal investigation for the incitement of, or involvement in, violence and intimidation against immigrants and racial harassment.<ref>https://media.idugov.com/2023/08/09/17-arrests-made-as-brawl-erupts-at-</ref>

'''The Sunny Side of life''' is an [[Aredoa|Aredoan]] documentary film directed by Jorge Sada and presented and narrated by Marta Santino. It follows the Oakaya tribe, documenting their cultural norms and way of life in the lead-up to the [[Festival of Sun]]. The film was nominated for Best Documentary Film and Best Musical Score in the [[2023 IDU Film Festival]]. <ref name ="FilmFestivalThread">https://idugov.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2449&pid=23463#pid23463</ref>

==Plot==
''The Sunny Side of Life'' takes the audience deep into the heart of Aredoa's culture by delving into the historical and modern-day customs of the small Oakaya Tribe, practitioners of the sun-worshipping Oalasamo religion that was once widespread in Aredoa before the import of Christianity. It examines how the tribe's religion permeates far beyond the culture of the Oakaya tribe and impacts on the Aredoan national identity as a whole, from art to literature, music to architecture, and even how it forms the basis for the name of Aredoa itself.

The documentary explores the unique ways of life within the Oakaya Tribe- such the morning prayers led by tribal matriarch Mamá Cassita at the first break of dawn, the quaint village where every building is adorned with motifs of the sun, and the tending to of the communal gardens that thrive under the sun's benevolence. Over the course of two months, Oakaya old and young alike are interviewed and shadowed by cameras as they go about their day, including the elderly matriarch Mamá Cassita, young siblings Lucífera and Albaluzo, and the tribe's Regional Delegate to the National Assembly, Maravío.

The documentary leads up to the Festilavo d'Oah, the Festival of Sun held at the summer solstice and the most important day of the Oakaya year. Aredoans from all walks of life eagerly wait for the festival that has woven its way into mainstream culture. But nobody quite celebrates like the Oakaya. The Oakaya's celebrations transcend mere festivities, being a spiritual journey of thanksgiving to the life-giving sun. As the film draws to a close, we see and hear the rhythmic beats of traditional instruments, the sundancing, and the feasting by villagers, with the credits rolling as the sun sets on the day.

==Reception==
At the 2023 Film Festival, the film received two nominations:
*The film was nominated for Best Documentary Film for its "well-researched and captivating insight into the Oakaya Tribe, showing how the tribe's way of life not only encapsulates Areodan culture but also the universal values of communality and spirituality".<ref name ="FilmFestivalThread"/>
*The film was nominated for Best Musical Score for its "enchanting musical score, entirely produced by members of the Oakaya tribe with traditional tribal instruments. It is masterfully blended into the narration of key moments of the documentary".<ref name ="FilmFestivalThread"/>

'''Beyond the Waves''' is an [[Aredoa|Aredoan]] war film directed by Juan Antunez and written by Carmen Cotán. It stars Andrés Molina, Gabriela Rivera, and Ricardo Mendez. It follows Emile Raya, a teenager who enlists in the military during the [[Great War]] and experiences life in the capital city of [[Vahania]], finding himself and finding love before being shipped overseas to fight. Initially written as a television series, the script was adapted for the cinema screen after being picked up by ProtoPulse Productions. The film was nominated in three categories in the [[2023 IDU Film Festival]], including Best Film. <ref name ="FilmFestivalThread">https://idugov.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2449&pid=23463#pid23463</ref>

==Plot==
Emile Raya (Andrés Molina) is a quiet teenager growing up in impoverished and rural Manzanita against the backdrop of the Great War, which he is relatively sheltered from. Destined for a life of orchard farming, which had been the occupation of his family for generations but is not something that Emile intends to pursue, he enlists in the military upon his 18th birthday in 1963 with the encouragement of his grandfather Felipe (Miguel Cruz), who serves as Emile's mentor. Emile is transported to the capital city of Vahania where he undergoes basic training and forms bonds with his fellow soldiers.

Passed over for overseas deployment, Emile is initiated into the Home Guard, remaining stationed in Vahania and seeing no combat. Here he experiences life in the big city for the first time, immersing himself in the city's culture as he sings, dances, cooks and performs alongside his best friend, Pedro Calero (Ricardo Mendez). Emile meets and wins over the love of his life, Lucia Vargas (Gabriela Rivera), marrying her after a year together. The lovebirds find out they are expecting a child and buy a small suburban property on Emile's soldier salary in preparation for the baby. Emile's personal journey seems to be the inverse of the journey of Aredoa: while the future looks bleak for Aredoa as the war drags on with no end in sight, Emile experiences city living for the first time, marries the love of his life, and is expecting a son.

Two weeks before Lucia is due to give birth, Emile is called to take part in the invasion of the Slokais Islands as the Aredoan military command scrambles to bring in any additional forces it can, hoping to turn the tide of the war in Eastern Hesperida. The latter half of the film documents the highs and lows of Emile's war journey, first the brutal and bloody initial landing on the beaches of South Kaijan in a breathtaking 18 minute scene leaving the audience on the edges of their seats throughout. Emile loses countless friends while overseas - including Pedro, who dies in his arms after a particularly tough engagement. The fateful day before victory against Juan Costa's regime, Emile is shot in the neck as his unit falls victim to a false surrender. Despite every effort being made to save his life, Emile dies just hours before the Coalition's victory on the Islands. His wife Lucia, baby son Antonio, and wider family are blissfully unaware and only find out about Emile's death when he is absent from the troopship carrying his unit home, a moment of gut-wrenching grief surrounded by ecstatic families celebrating the homecoming.

==Reception==
The film was the highest-grossing homegrown film of 2023 in Aredoa. At the 2023 Film Festival, the film received three nominations:
*The film was nominated for Best Film for its "heart-warming yet tragic coming-of-age story showing the human cost of war. It features striking visuals, from Aredoa's serene rural and bustling urban landscapes and the tropical beauty of the Slokais Islands to the brutal depictions of amphibious warfare".<ref name ="FilmFestivalThread"/>
*Andrés Molina was nominated for Best Lead Actor for his "portrayal of Emile Raya as a quiet, young-eyed youth who comes out of his shell and falls head over heels in love before facing the horrors of war".<ref name ="FilmFestivalThread"/>
*Gabriela Rivera was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for her "emotional and compelling portrayal of Lucia Vargas/Raya as a young woman navigating the complexities of love, loss, and single motherhood, adding a layer of depth and authenticity to the film".<ref name ="FilmFestivalThread"/>

The '''President of Aredoa''' is the head of state of [[Aredoa]]. The President is directly elected by ranked-choice voting to serve a seven-year term, renewable once. Under the [[Constitution of Aredoa]], Aredoa is a parliamentary republic. The President's role as Head of State is largely ceremonial while the [[Chief Minister of Aredoa|Chief Minister]], the head of government, exercises most administrative powers. Nevertheless, the President fulfills an important constitutional role. The President's duties include appointing the Chief Minister following their nomination by the Chamber of Deputies, signing bills into law (or conversely, referring them to the [[Superior Court of Aredoa|Superior Court]]), dissolving the National Assembly ahead of a General Election, and acting as the ceremonial Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Aredoa. The current President is [[Maria Ortalez]] of the [[Aredoan Workers' Party]], elected in July 2021 and inaugurated on August 3rd 2021.

==Powers and Functions==
The Constitution of Aredoa provides for a parliamentary system of government, by which the role of the head of state is largely a ceremonial one and executive power is expressly vested in the [[Government of Aredoa|government]]. The President does however have a right to be routinely informed of matters of domestic and international importance by the government. Most of the functions of the President may be performed only in accordance with the strict instructions of the Constitution, or the binding "advice" of the government.
===Constitutional Functions===
====Appointment and Dismissal of the Government====
The President appoints the Chief Minister following the candidate's nomination by the Chamber of Deputies, the directly elected lower chamber of the [[National Assembly of Aredoa|National Assembly]] as well as appointing cabinet ministers on the advice of the Chief Minister. The President can dismiss the Chief Minister, although only if and when the Chamber of Deputies has withdrawn their confidence from the government. Similarly, though it is convention that cabinet ministers must resign at the request of the Chief Minister, if a minister refuses to do so they may be dismissed by the President on the advice of the Chief Minister.

====Dissolution of the National Assembly====
The President may issue a warrant dissolving the National Assembly. This power can only be exercised following a vote by the National Assembly to dissolve, either ahead of a scheduled general election or a snap election.

====Promulgation of legislation====
The President signs bills into law following their passage in the National Assembly. The President does not possess the regular power of veto; however, they may refer a bill to the [[Superior Court of Aredoa|Superior Court]] to test its constitutionality. The President must abide by the ruling of the Superior Court, either signing the bill into law if it is found to be constitutional, or refusing to sign the bill if it is found to be unconstitutional. A ruling of the Superior Court is the only situation in which the President can refuse to sign a bill passed by the National Assembly.

====Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces====
The President is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Aredoa. This ceremonial role does not possess any formal military power as the President's only function in this capacity is to sign the commission of officers on the advice of the Ministry of Defense.

====Role in Foreign Affairs====
The President may represent the state in foreign affairs on the advice of the government, including hosting and attending state visits with foreign powers. The President receives a letter of credence from all foreign ambassadors and accredits all Aredoan ambassadors on the advice of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

====Time limits on bills in the Chamber of Regions====
On the advice of the Chamber of Deputies, the President may impose a time limit on the Chamber of Region's consideration of a bill deemed urgent.

====Address to the Nation====
The President may make an address to the nation or an address to the National Assembly. Although the words spoken in the address are their own, such addresses require the consent of the government. Outside of these rare national addresses, there are no limitations on the President's speech and they may speak freely to media and issue press releases, although it is convention that the President refrains from any partisan comments that could be deemed as criticism of the government.

==Absence and Succession==
There is no vice presidency under the Aredoan Constitution. The only body that may exercise the powers of the presidency in the event of the temporary or permanent incapacitation of the presidency is the Presidential Council, consisting of the Chief Justice of the Superior Court, the President of the Chamber of Regions, and the President of the Chamber of Deputies.
This council regularly carries out functions of the President, such as signing bills into law, if the President is overseas. If the presidency is permanently vacated by resignation or removal from office, the Presidential Council carries out the functions of the presidency for no longer than two months until an extraordinary election is held.

==Removal from Office==
The President may be removed from office by the National Assembly for a limited number of reasons, including the failure to carry out their duties or criminal action while in office, by the method of impeachment. To impeach the President, the Chamber of Deputies must pass a resolution of impeachment by a simple majority vote. A joint sitting of the National Assembly is then held, and a two-thirds majority is needed in the joint sitting to remove the President from office.

The '''Chief Minister of Aredoa''' is the chief executive and head of government of [[Aredoa]]. The Chief Minister is nominated by the Chamber of Deputies and formally appointed by the [[President of Aredoa|President]]. They must retain the support of the Chamber of Deputies to remain in office but there are no formal term limits imposed on the office.

The Chief Minister heads the [[Government of Aredoa]] and nominates cabinet ministers for appointment by the President. The Chief Minister exercises executive power through the cabinet and implements policy by wielding their majority in the Chamber of Deputies.

The incumbent Chief Minister is [[Alejandro Lopez]] of the [[Aredoan Workers' Party]], leading a coalition government with the [[People's Party (Aredoa)|People's Party]] and the [[Alliance for a Green Future]]. He took office on the 16th of January 2019 following the 2019 General Election.

==Nomination==
As per the Constitution of Aredoa, the Chief Minister is nominated by the Chamber of Deputies, the directly elected lower house of the [[National Assembly of Aredoa|National Assembly]]. The President is then constitutionally obliged to appoint the nominee of the Chamber of Deputies, with no capacity to reject or object to the nominee. Because of the proportional nature of the Aredoan electoral system, it is commonplace for the Chief Minister to be the head of a coalition government, or to lead a minority government propped up by the confidence and supply of other parties. The Chief Minister is required to be a member of the Chamber of Deputies at the time of their nomination and retains this position throughout their time in office.

==Role==
The Chief Minister is not just the head of government but also the chief executive of Aredoa as executive power is vested in the Government of Aredoa, which the Chief Minister heads. The cabinet nominally makes decisions collectively, although in practice many decisions are firmly made by the Chief Minister and the heads of their coalition partners rather than the cabinet as a whole.

The Chief Minister nominates members of the National Assembly for appointment to the cabinet. They can also request the resignation of any cabinet member, a request which is expected to be followed by convention. If a cabinet minister refuses to resign on request, the Chief Minister can instruct the President to dismiss the said minister, although this is an extremely rare sight in Aredoan politics.

As the Chief Minister has majority support in the Chamber of Deputies, they often spearhead significant legislative initiatives; roughly 60% of legislation passed each year is introduced by the government. The Chief Minister also formulates foreign policy in cooperation with the Minister of Foreign Affairs and provides oversight to both the Civil Service and departments/agencies of the Government.

==Removal from Office==
The Chief Minister must retain the confidence and supply of the Chamber of Deputies to hold office. Despite this, they are not immediately removed by the withdrawal of confidence and supply. In such an event, which can be achieved by the passage of a vote of no confidence or the failure of the annual budget, the Chief Minister and government enters caretaker capacity. This is followed by a two-week timeframe in which one of two things must happen: the Chamber of Deputies can either hear nominations for Chief Minister again to see if the incumbent Chief Minister or another candidate can secure the confidence of the chamber, or alternatively, the chamber may call a snap general election.

==Privileges==
===Salary===
The Chief Minister currently receives a salary of 180,000 Ponos. The salary is set by the apolitical Government Standards Commission, which also sets the salary of other political offices, and adjusted for inflation biennially. However, since taking office in 2014, incumbent Chief Minister Alejandro Lopez has refused the four raises set by the Commission which would have seen the salary rise to 187,000 Ponos.

===Residence===
The Chief Minister controls a wing of the Government House which serves as the Office of the Chief Minister, consisting of offices and conference rooms. The official residence of the Chief Minister is Casa de la Ascensión, a 14-bedroom, rural state house. However, as the house is located almost 100 kilometers away from [[Vahania]], Chief Ministers tend to use personal properties as their primary residence. Casa de la Ascensión is primarily used by Chief Ministers for official purposes such as government summits, receiving foreign officials, giving televised addresses to the nation, or hosting celebrations and commemorations.

The '''Superior Court of Aredoa''' is the highest judicial body in [[Aredoa]]. The court is Aredoa's court of final appeal and has the power of judicial review over both national and regional government bodies. The Superior Court can strike down acts of the [[National Assembly of Aredoa|National Assembly]] and injunct the actions of government departments.

==Membership==
The Superior Court consists of seven justices, the Chief Justice and six Associate Justices. Justices are appointed by the [[President of Aredoa|President]] on the binding advice of the Independent Judicial Appointments Board, which is free of executive and legislative interference. Justices have a mandatory retirement age of 75.

The Chief Justice's office is responsible for the administration of the Superior Court, including the organization of the Superior Court Security Branch and the Superior Court's media relations.
==Authority and Procedures==
When hearing cases, the Superior Court sits as a whole, with a quorum of 4 justices. However, minor matters such as applications or procedural issues are often considered by panels of 1-3 justices.

The Superior Court hears cases on referral by the President of Aredoa and may also choose to take up cases at their own discretion on the receipt of a petition for writ of certiorari. After the hearing process, the court issues an opinion of the court, a binding decision that is joined by more than half of the justices hearing a case (usually 4, although this may be lowered if some justices are absent from the case). Justices may produce concurring or dissenting opinions to accompany the opinion of the court, although these do not create binding precedent.

The '''National Assembly''' is the bicameral legislature of [[Aredoa]], consisting of the [[Chamber of Deputies of Aredoa|Chamber of Deputies]] and the [[Chamber of Regions of Aredoa|Chamber of Regions]]. There are 520 members of the National Assembly: 400 Deputies and 120 Regional Delegates.

The National Assembly was established by the [[Constitution of Aredoa]], which outlined the National Assembly as the legislative branch of the Republic of Aredoa. Both chambers of the National Assembly convene in the National House of Aredoa, on Vallez Street in [[Vahania]].

The Chamber of Deputies is the lower chamber of the National Assembly and is directly elected through universal suffrage via the single transferable vote. There are 80 electoral constituencies, roughly equal in size and all electing 5 Deputies. The Chamber of Deputies is the dominant chamber due to its directly elected status, with the chamber granting confidence and supply to the [[Government of Aredoa]], approving government nominations for appointment by the [[President of Aredoa|President]], and having the ability to overrule the upper chamber.

The Chamber of Regions is the upper chamber of the National Assembly. Regional Delegates are elected by Regional Councils immediately following council elections. Regional Delegates are elected via the D'Hondt method; each of Aredoa's 30 Regional Councils elects 3-5 Delegates based on their population. The Chamber of Regions is inferior to the Chamber of Deputies in many ways: it does not have the power to block legislation from becoming law, and the Chamber of Deputies can overturn amendments made by the Chamber of Regions. Nevertheless, the chamber plays an important role in the revision of legislation and oversight of government.

The '''Constitution of Aredoa''' ''(Aredoan: Constacucia d'Aredoa)'' is the fundamental law of [[Aredoa]]. Ratified in March 1880 shortly after Aredoan independence, it outlines the functions and powers of state institutions, grants fundamental rights, and determines the electoral system, among other purposes.
The Constitution can only be amended via a national referendum, which the [[National Assembly of Aredoa|National Assembly]] must give prior assent to. To date, 17 amendments have been made to the Constitution, most recently in 2017.
