The Catherine States of Annie Worshippers (Latin: Anni Hymenaeos) is an island nation in the Confederacy of Green Waves archipelago. The climate varies from calm and stormy along the coast to frigid and calm in the mountains.

History

At the time foreigners first arrived in the area around 1500, Annie Worshippers was inhabited by indigenous Irish tribes. The first foreigners to on the island were the English, establishing colonies at Kilmarty, Sonnenbray, and Enderling. Upon the Irish revolt of 1734, many English fled the island, selling their property to Jewish speculators. Jewish influence rose in the island, and eventually the parliamentary seat of government changed hands. Waves of Afro-American and Hispanic immigrants in the 1960s changed the demography and the political structure once again.

Politics

Legislative power rests in the unicameral Anniean parliament, the National Collective, with 54 members chosen on the basis of proportional representation from national lists named by the political parties. An additional 13 members are elected by regional soviets at the same time as the National Collective.

Executive authority is exercised by the chairperson, who appoints and supervises the prime minister and other ministers. The chairperson is not directly elected; each party presenting a slate of candidates for the collective must designate in advance a leader who will become chairperson if that party receives the largest number of votes. Any dissolution of the collective and election of a new coillective can lead to a change in the collective majority and consequently a change in the chair.

The highest judicial body is the Judicum Anni, headed by a chancellor of the judiciary. The second level is the Judicum Caterina, presided over by a chief justice. The chancellor and the chief justice are appointed by the chairperson.

Annie Worshippers is a full and participating founder-member of the Emigrant Community (EMICOM), the headquarters of which is in located in Antaeus.
