History of the Federated States of Chicanada

The lands now know as Chicanada have a rich history. British sailors discovered the northern colony of Livingston in 1586 ECE and moved south, eventually reaching and settling the area that is now known as Douala. Eventually, the lands around Douala became part of the Township Enclave and eventually creating the Palm Colony along the southern reach of Chicanada in 1589 ECE. French scout ships set up trading posts along the northern shoreline while exploring the territories, eventually laying claim to the Isla Lands in 1604 ECE. Palm Colony was incorporated into the Cana Lands in 1610 ECE. The Kingdom of Ris, to the northeast of Isla, was a self-sustained kingdom founded by Prince Sani The Right in 1423 ECE.

The Confederacy was officially founded in 1820 ECE. Before the Confederacy, the regions of Cana, Isla, Township were under protectorate rule from either Great Britain or Belgium. The Kingdom of Ris in 1775 ECE purchased the lands of Cana and Isla from Belgium and formed the Incorporated States of Risa. In 1795 Township entered into a war against Great Britain and won official autonomy in 1802. In 1803 the ISR and Great Britain agreed to allow Township into the ISR as a Republic of Isla. After the Great War of 1812, the ISR began discussing disolving the current structure and forming a new union. In 1820, at the behest of Cana, the Conferedated States of Chicanada were signed in Cana City, Palm Colony.

In 1923 ECE, the Confederacy of Chicanada became the Federated Cantons of Chicanada under a new Canton-region system. In addition, the Risian Kingdom was officially declared de facto rulers of the Risian Kingdom Autonomous Region and make all major decisions while staying part of the FCC.

At the end of 1932, the FCC began a transfer of regions to Atlantian Oceania. The Aramour and Risan kingdoms chose to remain in The Exodus, and formed the Commonwealth of Risa-Aramour in the former nation's lands.

Federal Government

The federal capital of the confederacy is located in Cana, and is home to the High Ministry and the legislative Assemblies.

Presidum

The President is directly elected to serve up to 2 5-year terms. The Presidency does very little in form of government, but has several major jobs. The President must approve the High Ministry and all ministry positions filled after Assembly elections. The President is the official ambassador to any conferences and major international organisations and can press issues to either the Regional or Colonial Assembly. The President is also the Speaker of the Regional Assembly and breaks ties in the Assembly when needed. The President may present bugetary issues to the Colonial Assembly and must sign onto the official budget of the state along with the High Minister.

High Ministry

The High Ministry is the highest level of government of Chicanada. The head of the HM, the High Emmissary, is the Head of State and Government and the HE makes all official decisions. The HE is selected by the coalitional government created in the Colonial Assembly and is typically the highest-ranking delegate. The HE selects a personal staff of aids and researchers who work in the HM preparing budgets and needed legislation.

Also in the HM is the President, who serves as an ambassador for the Conferderacy as well as advisor to the HE. The President also approves any appointment of the HE and their ministry positions.

The HM functions as the workhorse for the national government. The HM introduces legislation to the Canton and Colonial Assemblies and establishes the agenda for the Colonial Assembly. The HM also appoints 2 Supreme Council member (with approval of the Canton Assembly).

Colonial Assmebly

CA delegates are voted in by their respective cantons for up to 10 2-year terms. The CA is given the agenda as slected by the High Ministry and works in committee to pass needed legislation and create the governments working budget. The CA meets in Cana.

CA elections run on a two-ballot system for the 500 seats, with citizens voting for (a) a candidate and (b) a party. Half of each Canton's delegation is appointed based on party lists while the other half is directly elected. In order to form a government, 275 seats must be held. Should any government fall under the 275 threshold, the Presidum must call for new elections.

Canton Assembly

The 150 RA Members are selected by Regonal Governors and Colonial leadership. They can hold 3 5-year terms. Unlike the Colonial Assembly, the RA can not be suspended by the Presidum or by the Speaker. The RA is seen as the eye that make sure the CA does not overstep their bounds. The Canton Assembly reviews the budget and legislation passed by the Colonial Assembly. It is the only entity that can repeal decisions from the High Ministry with a 3/4 vote. The RA also works with the main lobby group ChiLo in making sure legislation and the budget is fair to all side.

Supreme Council

The Eastentown City Canton is home to the Supreme Council. As there is no constitution, the SC's 11 members (5 elected justices which serve an infinite number of 3-year terms, the High Minister, the President, 2 justices selected by the CA for a life term and 2 selected by the RA for a life term) review lower court challenges and legislation to make sure they comply with previous legislation and if they are good for the nation.

1932 Elections

On Januar 7, 1932, Chicanada went to the polls to insert a new Presidum and decide on the Colonial Assembly makeup. The Cantonal Assembly was also decided by the govenors of the multiple regions of the nation.
