The Federation of Caelapes is a small island nation located in a central region of the Atlantic Ocean. Though currently a minor nation, Caelapes has grown rapidly since the decision by Prime Minister Finch in April 2007 to lift the veil of secrecy over the nation and bring itself into the international stage.
The current landmasses controlled by Caelapes include five major islands, each with a small local government, and twenty minor outlying regions. The federal government of Caelapes is small, consisting of an elected prime minister and deputy minister, ten chosen governmental ministers, and fifteen representatives from each isle-state.
Caelapes currently maintains strong diplomatic relations with Tannenmille, who, in accordance with the Barron-Guinne Treaty, funded and commanded the Federal Caelapene Aeronavy from May 2005 until May 2007.
Government
The government of Caelapes consists of the Executive Office of the Prime Minister, the Office of the Deputy Minister, Parliament, the Office of the United Nations Compliance Ministry (which also houses the Caelapene ICPIN Central National Office), and the following ten ministries:
- Ministry of Foreign Affairs
- Ministry of Finance
- Ministry of Defense
- Ministry of Justice
- Ministry of the Interior
- Ministry of Social Development
- Ministry of Labor and Commerce
- Ministry of Healthcare
- Ministry of Education
- Ministry of Environmental Affairs
Ministries
The ten ministries of Caelapes are located in a district of Caelapes City known by locals as Bluetown, from the vast amounts of blue in the area provided by the number of Caelapene flags flying in the area. The ten ministries are arranged around each other, with a central plaza providing an area designed for fellowship and relaxation during breaks. The four largest ministries -- Defense, Foreign Affairs, Justice, and Finance -- are located opposite each other, with two ministries on either side of the plaza. The six remaining ministries are located between the other four.
The Federal Aeronavy of Caelapes is the primary military force in the federation and is primarily tasked with the defense of the islands of Caelapes. Though once funded and commanded by the Tannenmillian Armed Forces, Caelapes has regained unilateral control of its defensive forces.
The Aeronavy has only been mobilized outside of Caelapes once, to British Londinium in an effort to provide humanitarian aid and to assist Londinian troops in repelling Freekish forces.
