Originally a nation of warring Slavic tribes, elements of both German and Celtic tribes filtered in through the northwestern borders and settled near the seaports, founding what is now the capital city of Gotha. From the southern borders, through warm water ports, Spanish traders settled in the nation, forcing a sort of renaissance on the dark and repressed Slavic tribes in the early 15th century. Currently the Germano-Celtic populations, which intermarried so heavily they are nearly indistinguishable now, and the Spanish settlers make up a near-10% minority of the People's Republic of Caselonia today. In 1915, after over 300 years of anarchy and monarchy by descendants of Arkadiy the Conqueror, Vyacheslav Grigorievich Polezhaev led his Revolutionary Socialist Party in a national uprising which threw the weakened monarchy into disarray. Within two weeks the monarch, Tsar Leonid XII, had abdicated the throne and a provisional government was established. Within a year the Socialist Revolutionaries had seized complete control of the government, forming a one-party State. Two substantial wars followed, and though victorious in the War of Preservation, a fight for the very survival of the Caselonian republic, decades of economic hardship ensued. Starting in the late 1980s economic and social reforms began that transformed the nation into the economic machine that it is today. Parties other than the Caselonian Socialist Party were outlawed until late 2003 when current President Eamon McGinnis, a member of the small Celtic minority in Caselonia, legalized opposition parties, even opening the People's Assembly to them. Elections have been scheduled and postponed three times due to both internal and external security threats, but are expected to take place in early November 2004.

Caselonia and its surrounding territories are located in eastern Fuerza. With such varying landscapes as decidious forests, grasslands, deserts, mountain ranges and tundras, the areas making up ancient Caselonia are as varied as the peoples who reside there.

Ancient Caselonia once comprised all of the modern Caselonian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic, the Democratic Republic of Melbournistan and the Soviet Socialist Republic of Palmbekistan, even into parts of what is now modern Ferrussia, Ferretatia and Daemoniata. While majority Russian and other Slavonic stock in ethnic makeup, the region is also home to people of Germanic, Celtic and even Arab and Persian stock. Trade routes between the many republics in eastern and central Fuerza are documented as far back as the beginning of written history in the area, and despite some current political tensions, the peoples of the two continents have written a joint history throughout many millennia.

The upper chamber of parliament is the Reichsrat (Federal Council) and represents the executives of the states of the United Kingdom: It may introduce own bills to be considered by a 1/3 majority. The laws who are to be presented to the Reichsrat determined by the Reichsverfassung Art. 50-53 and/or separate laws.

Government system

Head of state is a monarch bearing the title „His/Her Majesty the King/Queen“. He/she is to sign international treaties and to represent the state on behalf of the people. This is a title and office which is inherited by the oldest son/daughter of the reigning sovereign. As soon as the oldest child turns 14 years, he/she is invested with the official title of the crown prince/ -ess: Herzog/in (Duke/Duchess of) von Großgründlach. Furthermore, the sovereign names or dismisses the ministers upon advice of the Chancellor. The monarch is the supreme commander of the Royal Armed Forces by law. Besides the sovereign has to sign all issues passed by the legislature.

The Erlangen-Ansbacher parliament consists of two chambers.The lower chamber of parliament is called the Reichstag. It may introduce bills for consideration, if these are endorsed by one third of the members. Furthermore, the Reichstag maintains the right of declaration of war and peace in concert with the sovereign.

The Reichstag elects the Reichskanzler (Chancellor) who is head of governement, maintains the right to set the guide lines for the governmental work („Richtlinienkompetenz“) and acts as chief spokesman of the state on international summits.. The upper chamber of parliament is the Reichsrat (Federal Council) and represents the executives of the states of the United Kingdom: It may introduce own bills to be considered by a 1/3 majority. The laws who are to be presented to the Reichsrat determined by the Reichsverfassung Art. 50-53 and/or separate laws.

Every five years there are general elections to vote on a new lower chamber. The upper chamber is not elected by nationwide elections – its members are delegates of the state governments.

The Königliche Landesverfassungsgericht (KLVG) is the supreme court of the United Kingdom of Erlangen-Ansbach and Peru. The KLVG justices are appointed by the sovereign upon non-binding advice of the Chancellor, but their appointment must be confirmed by the Reichstag. The Ministry of Justice and/or the states’ Departments’ of Justice are authorised to appoint the judges of the courts they are in charge of. The jurisdiction acts independent from the legislature, executive and the sovereign.
