History as given to Zhonghua Renguo History Society

Since circa 250 AD there has been a native tribe on the island which is now known as Uiri. They developed a system of trade and established a base unit from which the value of everything was calculated. It was called an Ret. It was a unit of measurement and not like coins or paper money we use today. They developed a tribal system and the value of everything the tribe had was calculated once per solar year. There was no private property only tribe owned property. At first there were many tribes on the land of what is now Uiri. Eventually, through marriage they emerged around five tribes and they defined there own territory and because of the size of the tribe breeded only with in themselves.

Then at around 1500-1600 a French boat trying to find the spanish south america sailed right aournd south america thinking it was the northen continent. This ship eventually spotted The Pacific Islands and landed on the coast of the Uir tribe. The Uir tribe had by then, established dominance over the other tribes. They called the foreigners Fran because there first statement was "Je parle Francais". They believed Francais to mean Fran to mean Foreign and -cais to mean royalty. They thought the foreigner said, "I am foreign royalty". When the foreigners asked what they place was called, the natives were just deciphering the first statement and said "Frani"; and so the territory became the French Colony of Frani. (It's my second country to show what it was like during French rule, with some exadgeration.)

So, the land of the tribe became a colony for around a century or two. That is when the peasants in main land france rebelled and the government of the colony was in distress. What would become of their king? The natives, sensing this, rebelled and drove away the french. The french language and customs became integrated into their society and so they developed the Arjet from the french word for money and silver, Argent.

The tribe struggled to find a system of government where they would choose how they were run. In the Republique de Uiri each citizen would vote from one of three options on what to do on any issue brought up by anyone. They couldn't force everyone to vote but jus as they were trying to solve this problem the English invaded.

The English were soon overthrown and the Uir (by now extended to mean all the natives) enforced a law to make everyone vote. This is how the country has been since around 1830. There haven't been any civil wars and the country has stayed within the Pacific Islands mostly, until the formation of the UN which they joined.

Electoral process

In Uiri because of a large lack of literacy the ballots have boxes with the colour of the corresponding party instead of names.

On the first of April or March, which ever one easter doesn't fall in, every five years there is one big voting across the country. Everyone who is 19 years of age may vote. The votes are tallied up according to which colour( the party which uses it as its colour) gets the most votes. They are also tallied as to which party got the majority at each group of two voting centers. These are then applied to elect people to the Representative Assembly and the Senate.

In Uiri there is a law in the constitution stating that there must be at least three political parties and that one party must use blue, one party must use green and one party must use orange. Each of these three parties have become known as the [insert their respective colour] party.

For the Representative Assembly the total number of votes are divided by 100. The number of hundredths of votes + 1 = the number of seats that party gets in the Representative Assembly. This gives between 100 and 100+total number of parties possible seats. Usually there are 103.

For the senate the voting centers are grouped into 50 groups of two. The majority party of each group gets one seat in the senate giving fifty senators.

The leader of the majority party in the Representative Assembly becomes the Prime Minister who deals with the internal affairs of the country. The leader of the majority party of the senate becomes President who attends diplomatic functions and manges the military.

If a party shares a majority in both Houses then they may take on the functions of Presient and Prime Minister, taking on the title Minister-President or they may hire a close assistant to take one of these functions who may be replaced at anytime.
