Introduction

Krensonia is a modernized, large nation compromising of over 2 and a half billion people. Krensonia is an old nation which until recently was still ruled by an Emperor as some other nations were far further into the past. The government holds many Isolationist policies close. It is indeed so that in general the Krensonian people and it’s government to not tolerate foreigners very much.

This doesn’t mean Krensonia is old-fashioned in any other way though. Since the fall of the Emperor the Krensonia government has been dominantly led by Society Green Party. A party that mostly cares for the Environment and the advancement of technology. Krensonia is a leading nation in Space Faring technological advances as they see ultimate glory for their nation among the stars. They have several small space stations orbiting the world and have launched several ships to the moon.

Krensonia holds an ancient and rich culture. Many people still life by traditions of hundreds of years ago. While not being especially conservative or fundamentalist. Religion is somewhat non-existent. The Krensonians worship their ancestors. But not specifically any gods or super natural entities.

The Krensonia industry and economy is large. And produces a great quantity of high-quality goods. It is not however that profitable for the population themselves as Krensonia has been maintaining a 100% tax rate for several years now.

Military speaking, Krensonia is quite powerful. They find upholding a strong military important as they don’t wish any foreigners to dare to influence their nation.


History

Modern day Krensonia was a band of warring warlords and bandits. There was no rule over any large portion of land and there was nearly no trade. Buildings were poorly made, often out of clay or something similair. Life expectancy was short. Krensonian civilization was far behind other civilizations of around that period.

On the modern-day Triked Isle the most of developed towns were situated. One town leader named Iralastorum Krens had conquered and built several other villages as he led his town. Creating a small area under his rule. He began to shape all towns into a standard layout. A temple in the center surrounded by houses in circles.

Iralastorum has build and rebuild all towns in this shape. This making it possible for every person to find his/her way in every town. He also created a sophisticated system of roads between the towns causing the trade to flourish between the towns he controlled.

He also made standard layouts for his military camps and created effective formations for his army. He introduced a complicated ranking system which made it easier for him to oversee his troops. Due to conquest and towns willingly submitting themself to Iralastorum his empire expanded and he needed more land. Soon he asked engineers to create boats that could take many people across the small sea between mainland Krensonia and Triked Isle.

He ordered nearly ¾ of the population to colonize the coastal lands his men had discovered. Population grew quickly on both sides of the sea.

Iralastorum then died of old age. Right before his dead he had dubbed his lands empire. And at his dead we start with K.E. Iralastorum had lived nearly a hundred years.

When Iralastorum died Triked Isle was well developed into a city and town landscape. The Spilithid region, as the new lands were called, was mainly an agicultural landscape. Which supplied the richer people on Triked with goods from their farms. The succeeding Emperor of Iralastorum was Almir. Almir concentrated on developing the homelands instead of trying to develop new lands as Iralastorum did. The newly colonized lands of Spilithid were soon forgotten and the prices of the goods started to decrease

After a few hundred years and several Emperors, At 567 K.E. The farmers started to revolt and seperated themselves from the mainland. Destroying harbors and boats. The citizens of Triked Isle could not produce enough food for themselves and thus started the 20 year starvation. Tenthousands of people died in that time. Until after 20 years of starvation the current Emperor begged the people of Spilithid to give them food. An agreement was made. And more then half of Triked´s wealth went to Spilithid.

In 659 K.E. when Emperor Alilum was ruling. The farm lands of Spilithid has also turned into a large city scape again creating a lack of farmfields. Alilum ordered explorers to search for more land and soon enough the complete Island of Krensonia was mapped. He then started to build new towns all over the island but seperated from each other making sure there was enough room to expand. In these years scientists on Triked isle had discovered the Scientific Method. Which included more sophisticated mathematics and modern ways of research. In the next few years many scientific breakthroughs were made. Including Steam-Engines and Electricity. This started the Industrial age in Krensonia.

Krensonia entered the modern age in 721 K.E. In 723 K.E. The first computer systems came into use. At this point Krensonia started to put nearly 45% of all it´s wealth into science and the percentage was slowly increasing. The current year is 944 K.E. (2006 AD)

Government

Form: Old Empire Democracy

The Krensonian government is in some ways very different and unique in comparison to other governmental systems. The state of Democracy is one only achieved very recently. The state was for many decades longer then other nations ruled by a single emperor, his aids and regional representatives. Provinces had some degree of authority over their territories. But not too much. The emperor assigned the regional representatives and his aids and the title of emperor was handed down the family or sometimes given to someone from outside the family by the current emperor.

The last emperor, however, felt the system was outdated and that Democracy should be the way the country would be ruled. He ordered the construction of the socalled "Marble Chamber". A grand structure which housed the Krensonian version of the "House of commons". The first is simply reffered to as the "Marble Chamber" Simply because the interior is completely made of black marble. A entity similair as the "House of lords" does not exist in Krensonian politics.

The Krensonian government holds no ministers or ministries at all. When elections are held the highest parties are allowed to choose and debate which department of state they would like to rule. Thus there is not a single minister ruling a deparment, but a whole faction. They completely take care of the day to day business of their department. Whenever decisions that have some importance or otherwise large effect on the nation the whole Chamber gets a say on the issue. The Department of Defence, for one, could not just decide to start a war with a random nation. The whole chamber would need to agree.

As the chamber holds all power of making laws and policies, enforcing them and thus having all executive power. There is no "Head of State" However, The nation could not go without a central figure. Thus the "Overseer" was appointed. The Factions elect the overseer. And each faction may allocate 10 votes to any person. In general the people elected to overseer are former politicians or politicians who have no specific alignment to a party. It is also not allowed to elect an overseer who is member of a party or clearly supporter of a party.

The Overseer litteraly "Oversees" the government. He makes sure all parties stick to the rules and that no corruption takes place. Because even the smallest parties have their 10 votes, it is rare that a corrupt overseer is elected. When the overseer finds something in a party that is not allowed or goes over "the line" he may call for a motion of distrust. And then all chamber members will vote upon wether the acused party can be trusted with their position or not. If 50% of the chamber wants, they can also call for a motion of distrust on the overseer.

The overseer in all cases acts as the "national leader" concerncing diplomatic meetings and the like. He always has to adhere to the Krensonian policies and has to decide by them during meetings. He has no power at all when it comes to deciding international policies.

Krensonian Space Program

Several years ago Krensonia launched it's Space Program. Currently the organisation leading and overseeing space exploration is the RKES. The Royal Krensonion Exploration Society.

Krensonia currently has 13 scientific sattelites in orbit around the world. These are all of the same simple design. A single "Main holder" is made. Which can be expanded by modules. This makes it easier to produce the sattelites.

Krensonia also has 2 military space stations in space. These sattelites carry the purpose of doing military research in space. The modules attached to these contain various things. Most of the research time goes into finding out how weapons react and work in spacial enviroments and the development of Space Weapons. Progress however, is little.

The RKES' major and most important goal though, is too research and develop the possibility of space colonization. Several models and designs for habitat stations have been floating around and currently one is being taken into development. Also many ways for planet terraforming have been discussed. None however was found to be of particular use.
