The Republic of Yuunli was founded in April 2005, and joined the United Nations in the same month. A few days/years later, the Executive Council of the Republic decided to move to the International Democratic Union.
Update: The results of the 2005-04-30 #Elections are there!
Political System
Executive
The executive of the Republic is the Executive Council, consisting of:
- Councilors elected for 3 years by the citizens. They make policies within the framework of the current legislation. Every Councilor is responsible for one department, such as education, infrastructure or international relations.
- The Representatives of the Constituent Parts of the Republic represent the executive of the island and the part on the continent, respectively. With joint forces, the two representatives can block Council decisions.
- Chairperson elected for 3 years by the citizens. The chairperson's role is to moderate in case there is a conflict among Councilors and/or Representatives. Moreover s/he represents the Republic abroad.
Legislature
The legislative branch of the Republic is called Legislative Assembly. The Assembly does not have fixed members, but consists of representatives of political parties. Those parties are elected every 4 years by the citizens in a proportion-vote system.
The Assembly also has Observers from the parliaments of the island and the part on the continent. With joint forces, the two observers can block bills.
Geography
Yuunli consists of two parts: a landlocked part of a continent (pop. 1.35 million) and an island off the north-west coast of that continent (pop. 9.2 million). Yuunli has an area of 4,694,682 km² (1,813,402 square miles).
On the following map, rivers are blue and provincial borders are red, unless they are marked by rivers.
