==Eagmont Government==
 +
 
 +
Currently, the 2006-2009 government is a [[Coalition]] between the [[Conservative Party of Eagmont|Conservative Party]], and the now declining [[Liberal Party of Eagmont|Liberal Party]] after its days as the 3rd majory party. The Prime Minister, John Key, is in his first term while Chris Mahone is serving as Deputy Prime Minister for the 2nd time.

The Coalition (as it is known as now) is a strong, Liberal-Conservative government with a lower Welfare State than  most places in the world. They have one of the lowest tax rates (13%) that any Eagmontian Government has ever had. They also have one of the highest Education Passes in the world (94% of students pass the final exams)

==Departmental Areas==
 +
===Finance===
 +
Annually, the Eagmont Government spend around $17,742,473,125,000.00 ($17 Trillion Dollars). This mostly comes from tax, annual subsidies & off shore assets the Government has. The Minister for the Treasury is incharge of keeping the bank books in order, while the Minister for Finance is incharge of the Budget. Both wo/men work together so that their estimates and budgets are the same.
  
−
==History==
+
An embarrasing moment happened in 1991, when Labour-Green-Unionist Coalition Treasurer Iona Wallance and the Coalition Finance Minister Waldo Steel came out with different projected earnings and spendings for the year. This cost the government over 300 billion dollars.
  
−
===The Founding of Eagmont===
+
The Budget is one of the most anticipated reports that come out each year. It is usually delivered on the 1st day of July, which is the start of the Summer Holidays for children. The Treasurer will attend this House of Representatives debate (usually s/he sits in the Senate) and take the Prime Ministers seat. The reading of the budget usually lasts for about 2-4 hours, and the Debate-in-Reply starts. The Prime Minister is not present for this debate.
  
−
78 men and women from a far off land settled in this Island in 1759, with intentions to set up a colony. The leader of the group, George Watsons, felt it appropriate to name it after a new born that was born just before the landing. So, this island was named Harry '''Eagmont''' (Harry was never used), and there was a 5 day party in honour of the founding. George Watsons was elected the first President of Eagmont after a voting period of 5 days.
+
At 9:30 pm that evening, the debate is come to an abrupt hault. The Treasurer carries the "Budget Book" (the hard copy) back to the under-ground holding area. The Treasurer, by law, must stay with the Budget Book in this area until the debate is done. Once a Treasurer died while waiting for the debate to finish- it took 1 year for it to be finally done, and this treasurer died of old age 10 months in.

===The Natives meet the Eagmontese===
+
==== Primary, Secondary Education ====
 +
In Eagmont, it is compulsory to attend school at the age of 5. Parents have three options; <br>
 +
*'''Primary School'''- The most common choice. This is where children learn the basics in English, maths and applying skills.
  
−
10 days after the arrival, many members of Eagmont started hearing strange chants in a different language coming from the hills. These hills have been out of bounds, effective when the President was re instated.
+
*'''Prepatory School'''- Usually for the rich. This is where children learn alot of English, Maths, Science and Skills throughout the day. It is more advanced than Primary School learning, and inturn, it is more expensive.
  
−
The natives finally made an apperance in 1760, when the President ordered the men to attack the noises. The natives, who spoke a dialect of [[Pacitalian]], could speak little english but still could communicate well.
+
*'''Montisorreè '''- Pronounced Monnh-iss-oh-reih, this is an alternative school. It is focussed around the ideals of [[Religion]] and applying simple ideals to everyday life. Usually alot of parents who have either had [[hippie]] or [[native]] backgrounds choose this.
−

The natives were very welcoming, which played a big party in Eagmont's cultural identity. Many Eagmontese (as they are known to be called know) still live in remote villages in the L'Ile de sud (Eagmonts most cultured region).

−
===1760-1912===

*'''High School'''- The most common choice. Children study up to 8 subjects, own choice. Students can study a medium range of subjects, which mainly include English, Maths, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Physical Education, French or Russian (compulsory one or the other) and the Arts.
  
−
'''1760-1798'''  Sir George Watsons (Wiggs)<br>
+
*'''Private Charter College'''-, or PCC, is usually for the rich. This is a "specialist" school, which charters people to choose their career at an early age. English, French & Russian are compulsory, and then you take up to 5 other courses depending on your career (ie Law: English Literature, History, Law Studies & Systems and Managment). Usually school is on saturdays too. A Famous PCC in Eagmont, one of the best in the world, is [[Wellington College]], which is extremly private and expensive. Of the last 12 Prime Ministers/Presidents, 10 of them have come from this institute.

Departmental Areas

Finance

Annually, the Eagmont Government spend around $17,742,473,125,000.00 ($17 Trillion Dollars). This mostly comes from tax, annual subsidies & off shore assets the Government has. The Minister for the Treasury is incharge of keeping the bank books in order, while the Minister for Finance is incharge of the Budget. Both wo/men work together so that their estimates and budgets are the same.

An embarrasing moment happened in 1991, when Labour-Green-Unionist Coalition Treasurer Iona Wallance and the Coalition Finance Minister Waldo Steel came out with different projected earnings and spendings for the year. This cost the government over 300 billion dollars.

The Budget is one of the most anticipated reports that come out each year. It is usually delivered on the 1st day of July, which is the start of the Summer Holidays for children. The Treasurer will attend this House of Representatives debate (usually s/he sits in the Senate) and take the Prime Ministers seat. The reading of the budget usually lasts for about 2-4 hours, and the Debate-in-Reply starts. The Prime Minister is not present for this debate.

At 9:30 pm that evening, the debate is come to an abrupt hault. The Treasurer carries the "Budget Book" (the hard copy) back to the under-ground holding area. The Treasurer, by law, must stay with the Budget Book in this area until the debate is done. Once a Treasurer died while waiting for the debate to finish- it took 1 year for it to be finally done, and this treasurer died of old age 10 months in.

Education

Primary, Secondary Education

In Eagmont, it is compulsory to attend school at the age of 5. Parents have three options;

  • Primary School- The most common choice. This is where children learn the basics in English, maths and applying skills.
  • Prepatory School- Usually for the rich. This is where children learn alot of English, Maths, Science and Skills throughout the day. It is more advanced than Primary School learning, and inturn, it is more expensive.
  • Montisorreè - Pronounced Monnh-iss-oh-reih, this is an alternative school. It is focussed around the ideals of Religion and applying simple ideals to everyday life. Usually alot of parents who have either had hippie or native backgrounds choose this.

At age 13, the parents have 2 options;

  • High School- The most common choice. Children study up to 8 subjects, own choice. Students can study a medium range of subjects, which mainly include English, Maths, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Physical Education, French or Russian (compulsory one or the other) and the Arts.
  • Private Charter College-, or PCC, is usually for the rich. This is a "specialist" school, which charters people to choose their career at an early age. English, French & Russian are compulsory, and then you take up to 5 other courses depending on your career (ie Law: English Literature, History, Law Studies & Systems and Managment). Usually school is on saturdays too. A Famous PCC in Eagmont, one of the best in the world, is Wellington College, which is extremly private and expensive. Of the last 12 Prime Ministers/Presidents, 10 of them have come from this institute.

At age 17, all students at every school take an exam called the "Eagmont Examinations", or as it is known amongst younger children "The Final Exam".

The Children take 9 (10 for PCC students) exams, from the following list:

  • English
  • French or Russian
  • Mathematics
  • Physics, Chemistry or Biology
  • Eagmont History
  • Eagmont Politics
  • Economics
  • French or Russian (for PCC)
  • Accounting
  • Techonology
  • Art
  • Art History
  • Graphic Design
  • Computer Skills
  • Computer Studies
  • Law Studies
  • Medicinal Studies
  • Media Studies
  • Education Studies.

The students must pass 6/9 or 9/10 (for PCC students) to gain entry to a University.

Tertiary Education

When the students turn 18, they must do atleast 1 year of formal qualifications. A small percentage of Eagmontian's only spend 1 year at the tertiary level, which is usually just learning basic Home Economics & Skills. This is for people who wish not to do degrees and/or go to polytechnic.

The ones who wish to get degrees, however, usually go to one of the many Universities Eagmont has. There are over 100 Universities, and 10 Specialist Universities. The Major 3, The Hayman (for Law), The Dysart (for Medicine & Dentistry) and The Barker (Politics & Economics) are regarded in the Top 10 Universities in the world.

Most Eagmont Students do a B.A. degree, and then move onto a subject of their choice (if they wish). The government prides itself on good education, and it shows by the depth of knowledge of the students.
