The Imperial Government of the Divine Prussian Empire of Derscon, centred in the Holy Tsar granted power by the Everlasting Grace and Glory of God.
  
 +
==Overview==
 +
[http://www.sipan.org/~peter/NationStates/Tracker/index.php?nation=Derscon Economic Overview]
  
'''
+
The government of Derscon is predominantly a Divine Right Monarchy. However, in reality, the Dersconi government is a complex mix of feudalism, federalism, republicanism, democracy, and monarchy. A general rule of thumb is that the larger the constitutency, the more autocractic the governance. At the local level, direct democracy is often found, especially in the north, where the tribal ways of living are still present. At the provincial level, a form of parliamentary monarchy is most likely to be found. At the State level, the royalty is well-present, all but four states being ruled by nobles that answer to the Tsar. Of course, at the Imperial level, it is the Tsar.
SITE UNDER CONSTRUCTION'''
+
  
 +
The Imperial government reigns supreme over all other decisions, and supercedes all other forms of law. The nobility of Derscon is not answerable to the normal law. Instead, a special court system and law code is established for the nobility. The Tsar, however, is outside all jurisdiction -- be it local, provincial, state, Imperial, or international.
  
 +
Derscon does not hold any international law or court system to be binding in Derscon.
  
 +
==Current Government==
  
 +
The government of Derscon is centred in the Kæsþiöndhrír Empyeral Kremlin Palace. While there are seperate buildings in Rekjyavich-Andropov Military City for the ministries, the offices are technically centred in the KEKP itself.

===Chancellor===
 +
The Chancellery is the office of running the day-to-day affairs of the Dersconi government, and houses the Council of Ministers. However, since the reign of Tsar Rekjyavich Ivan Andropov II and the permanent dismissal of the Reichskongress, the Chancellery has remained vacant, the powers of the Chancellery and the seat of the Imperial Overseer going to the Monarch.

Technically under the Chancellery, since the ''de facto'' abolishment of the Reichskongress and the Chancellery, they have retained their status as a full Imperial Organization, and report directly to the Tsar. Technically chaired by the Grand Chancellor, since the reign of Tsar Rekjyavich Ivan Andropov II, that power, as stated, has rested with the Monarch.

===The Formation of Derscon===
+
===The General Staff===
The Protestant Prussian Czardom has been ruled by three dynasties: The Andropov, Romanov and Rekjyavich houses. The founding of Derscon occured when Ivan Andropov led a rebellion agianst the Armed Republic of Nates World, eventually splitting off from the Empire. Ivan died before the revolution ended handing the leadership off to his son, Ivan Andropov, Jr. After the revolution was sucessful, he took the name of King Ivan Andropov II.

===Early Derscon===
+
The General staff consists of the top military officials of the Empire. Here, chaired by the Defence Minister (who, traditionally, is a member of the General Staff before serving as Minister), the general military strategy-building and decision-making occurs. The Schutzstaffel was only a recent addition to the General Staff -- one of the first moves by Xavier upon his ascendency to the officer of the Holy Tsar.
Residing in the region of Cumberland Valley Eagles for a peaceful number of years, although historians have never found out how long it exactly was, as there was no written records of the time period. The only records held were the Crown's birth records. King Ivan Andropov had a son, later taking the throne as King Ivan Andropov III. Afterwards, his nephew, Duke Nicholas Romanov, took the throne from him.

===The First Holy Empire of Derscon===
+
'''Minister of Defence:''' Imperial Marshal (ret.) Sir Arthur Wellesley
King Nicholas Romanov I was a Roman Catholic, and when he took the throne, made Roman Catholism the official religion. Upon enthronement, the nobles approved the official naming of "The Holy Empire of Derscon." Because the Andropovs were sorcerers, they were banished to the Northern regions of Derscon, called by non-locals "The Cocytus." Upon enthronement, Kin Nicholas Romanov II created the first Dersconi Inquisition, responsible for the deaths of over one million non-Catholics.

===Revolution in Derscon===
+
=Foreign Policy=
When King Nicholas Romanov III took the throne, a nationalist movement occured in the western and northern regions of Derscon, which was renamed The Andropov's were practicing Sorcerers, and the Inquisitors consistant persecution of the Andropov famlily drove the Andropovs and their supporters to the edge. The Declared themselves the soverign nation of Scodson after tensions built to the maximum. King Nicholas Romanov III declared war on Scodson and fought for over five years with the proclaimed Czar Ivan Andropov IV. During the Civil war, Protestant rebels to the East, lead by a very liberal Mikhial Rekjyavch, fought with the Romanovs alongside the Andropovs against the Romanovs. Eventually, they Romanovs were deposed, and Nicholas III was excecuted, along with his immediate family. They were exiled to the former republic of Scodson, now reunited with Derscon.
+
The Rekjyavich dynasty lasted for fifty years until Czar Nicholas Rekjyavich had only once child, which was a daughter -- Elizabeth Kemery Rekjyavich. As the Crown only went to the oldest son, there was no one of the Rekjyavich House to pass it on to. Upon Marriage to Ivan Andropov V, son of Prince Ivan IV, the two houses merged. The Crown list then looked like the following:

For the most part, The Divine Prussian Empire has never been an out-going nation in terms of foreign policy. However, since the reign of Tsar Alexei Alexandrovich Andropov XIV, Derscon has taken a much more open stance towards the rest of the world, while still maintaining a relative distrust to those nations not associated with the Empire itself.

Prince Ivan Andropov, the heir to the throne, was placed in charge of the Army. Dislike for magic was growing inside the ranks of the Army, the government, and the people, who were mostly Protestant or Catholic. Eventually, Prince Ivan Andropov, now Crown Prince, led a military coup on the government. The Kingdom of Derscon was placed under Marshall Law, and the Andropovs were cast out of Derscon permanently. Most went to the former republic of Scodson, while some went to the Northern Arctic Deserts of Derscon. Crown Prince Ivan Andropov was wildly supported by the Dersconi people. He then inherited the throne, renaming himself Czar Rekjyavich Ivan Andropov II. He only kept the Andropov because he liked the sound of the long name.

Government

The Imperial Government of the Divine Prussian Empire of Derscon, centred in the Holy Tsar granted power by the Everlasting Grace and Glory of God.

Overview

Economic Overview

The government of Derscon is predominantly a Divine Right Monarchy. However, in reality, the Dersconi government is a complex mix of feudalism, federalism, republicanism, democracy, and monarchy. A general rule of thumb is that the larger the constitutency, the more autocractic the governance. At the local level, direct democracy is often found, especially in the north, where the tribal ways of living are still present. At the provincial level, a form of parliamentary monarchy is most likely to be found. At the State level, the royalty is well-present, all but four states being ruled by nobles that answer to the Tsar. Of course, at the Imperial level, it is the Tsar.

The Imperial government reigns supreme over all other decisions, and supercedes all other forms of law. The nobility of Derscon is not answerable to the normal law. Instead, a special court system and law code is established for the nobility. The Tsar, however, is outside all jurisdiction -- be it local, provincial, state, Imperial, or international.

Derscon does not hold any international law or court system to be binding in Derscon.

Current Government

The government of Derscon is centred in the Kæsþiöndhrír Empyeral Kremlin Palace. While there are seperate buildings in Rekjyavich-Andropov Military City for the ministries, the offices are technically centred in the KEKP itself.

Imperator

His Most Eminent Majestic Highness Tsar Xavier Alexeitovich Caesar Agustus Andropov II, Fedei Defensor, Par la Grâce de Dieu; Ambrosial Seraph of the Divine Prussian Empire of Derscon, Arch-Chancellor of the Greater Prussian Empire, Leath-Ri of the Redemption Isles, Veliky Kralj of the Eternal Empire, Khšaçapavan of the Covanent of God, Knight Commander and Dragon Master of the IOI, Gloeihdamae

Chancellor

The Chancellery is the office of running the day-to-day affairs of the Dersconi government, and houses the Council of Ministers. However, since the reign of Tsar Rekjyavich Ivan Andropov II and the permanent dismissal of the Reichskongress, the Chancellery has remained vacant, the powers of the Chancellery and the seat of the Imperial Overseer going to the Monarch.

The Cabinet

Technically under the Chancellery, since the de facto abolishment of the Reichskongress and the Chancellery, they have retained their status as a full Imperial Organization, and report directly to the Tsar. Technically chaired by the Grand Chancellor, since the reign of Tsar Rekjyavich Ivan Andropov II, that power, as stated, has rested with the Monarch.

Foreign Policy

For the most part, The Divine Prussian Empire has never been an out-going nation in terms of foreign policy. However, since the reign of Tsar Alexei Alexandrovich Andropov XIV, Derscon has taken a much more open stance towards the rest of the world, while still maintaining a relative distrust to those nations not associated with the Empire itself.

The Divine Prussian Empire of Derscon generally classifies all nations under one of the following categories, in order from closely related to utterly despised.

Friendly Nations/Organizations

The following are those nations/organizations with a friendly relationship with the Empire.

The nations of The Greater Prussian Empire recieve the closest benefits of the Dersconi Empire. All Prussian nations, along with the mandatory Free Trade and mutual defence pacts, recieve Most Favoured Nation status. Also, all citizen travel restrictions are suspended, save the need for a passport. All Prussian leaders have their own private suites in the Grand Kremlin Palace, and most Prussian leaders own estates in Derscon somewhere.

The Hermes Alliance

The Hermes Alliance is an alliance created by New Haven and Bryn Shander in the wake of the split with the Concordat, which was founded for the same purpose but was corrupted by Midlonia.

However, the security of the network and its technology is paramount, so the mutual defense of all member nations is a required tenant of the alliance as is a blacklist of nations that are a threat to the stability and security of the alliance, its members, and the network. The Hermes Alliance is also fully democratic, with all member entries and decisions being decided on with a vote between the member nations.

Other Nations

The majority of the nations of the universe fall here. Most nations Derscon has never interacted with, therefore doesn't care one way or another about them. However, some do grab the attention of the Empire, and usually not in a good way. However, very few nations ever actually do enough stupid things to make it on Derscon's blacklist.

General Animosity

"General Animosity" is a category that expresses distaste for the nation. These nations are not to be dealt with on a governmental level, although private citizens are not forbidden from conducting business with them.

The Blacklist

The blacklist is the list of those nations that, upon mention, bring a nasty taste into the mouth of a Dersconi. These are nations that most Dersconis wouldn't even blink if they suddenly went away. Dersconi people, government or private, are completely forbidden from associating with them for any reason.
