Greater Eurasistan is a founding member of the Eurasia Magnus, and its most populous member state.
Greater Eurasistan is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 56 million enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.
The small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Religion & Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports industries.
Greater Eurasistan was a fictitious nation envisioned by publius while at Williams College. His goal had been to create a economically powerful, religiously-diverse empire at the confluence of the great empires of history, including those of Alexander, the Romans, Persians, and Nazi Germany. Greater Eurasistan is now a nation in the game NationStates.
Politics
Eurasistan is a federal semi-presidential republic, whose political system has been laid out by publius over the years 2001-04. It has a semi-presidential system in which the chief of state, the President, is elected in a popular, universal, direct majority-runoff vote, and the head of government, the Chancellor, is elected by the lower house of Parliament. The President represents the state in international law, has supreme command over the armed forces, and The Chancellor must maintain the confidence of the lower house, but that confidence can only be withdrawn with a simultaneous election of a replacement.
The Parliament is bicameral, consisting of the Popular Assembly and the Federal Council. The Popular Assembly is elected every four years by popular vote in a complex system combining direct and proportional representation. The 60 federal state governments send three Delegates each to the Federal Council, which has equal legislative powers to the Popular Assembly, except that it cannot initiate revenue bills.
The Supreme Court acts as both the constitutional court, exercising judicial review of legislation, and as the last court of appeals. All justices and judges at the national level are appointed by the President with the approval of the Federal Council.
Together with Crisconium and Wendellia, Greater Eurasistan is playing a leading role in Europa Magnus. Eurasistan is at the forefront of European states seeking to advance the creation of a more unified and capable European political, defense, and security apparatus.
Geography
Eurasistan includes Europe; Russia to the Ural Mountains; the Caucasus; North Africa, including the strip of populated land (á la the Roman Empire) and all of Egypt; the Middle East; and Central Asia, including Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
