Cikoutimi (also known as Chicoutimi after its French name) is a small country in the International Democratic Union. It borders Jonquiere-Tadoussac to the north and east and Baranxtu to the west and north. Once a part of the former and now in personal union with the latter, it shows a peculiar mix of French, Baranxtuan and indigenous (Marani) influences.

History

Politics

<div" class="plainlinksneverexpand">

The Baaj is the Cikoutimian parliament.

Cikoutimi is a constitutional monarchy in personal union with Baranxtu and Otea.

Almost all legislative power is vested in the Parliament of Cikoutimi, the Baaj. Its members are elected for four years in a system proportional representation.

The monarch mostly serves a representational function, although he is to some extent involved in the legislative process as he is legally entitled to introduce bill to parliament on his own and has a full right of veto. It is expected, however, that he does not make use of this.

Currently, Cikoutimi has two heads of states, as the Joint Reign Act declared both King Ateni and King Iðari to be heads of state of Cikoutimi.

National Motto

The national motto "Un drappe-sou, un ra-sou, un sil-sou ouni" is an excerpt from the Cikoutimian national anthem. In English, it means "United under one flag, one king, one sky".
It was adopted in 2006 after the founding of the country and represents the goal of harmonious coexistance of the three main ethnic groups in Cikoutimi - the Cikoutimians, the French and the Baranxtimans.

The motto can be used in any of the three national languages:

• Chicoutim: Un drappe-sou, un ra-sou, un sil-sou ouni.
• French: Unis sous un drapeau, un roi, un ciel.
• Baranxeï: Murtikainυa muφ asenuφ, miφ hηtaniφ, maφ cannaφ nežer.

National Anthem

The anthem of Cikoutimi is named Cikoutimi Ouni (United Cikoutimi). It was composed in 1956 and used as a regional anthem until the independence of Cikoutimi in 2006.

Its two stanzas are taken from "The Hymn to Cikoutimi" by Sophie Maranneglore Lakourse, whereas its chorus is taken from a poem by Carle Toupito Abadri.
