===The War with LiveLeak===
LiveLeak is a small nation just southwest of Hiltix. LiveLeak insisted that the mineral rights belonged to them because they discovered Hiltix in 1798. Hiltix immediately declined the statement, claiming that it has physical proof that Hiltix was discovered by Mining General Manager, Grangerford Hiltix, in 1862. After Hiltix's claim reached LiveLeak, a battle clashed in the city of Gorgonian, along the Jilliam River Valley. After six months of fighting, LiveLeak withdrew, stating that the Republic's troop level was below the required amount to successfully win a war. LiveLeak still disputes the fact that Grangerford discovered Hiltix in 1862, but they refuse to stay out of the way of Hiltix.

LiveLeak still disputes the fact that Grangerford discovered Hiltix in 1862, but remains out of touch with Hiltix. In all, 119,000 men died on both sides, resulting in the economy declining and inflation to increase.

Government

Government Type

New York Times Democracy with Prime Minister and cabinet, Hiltix is a constitutional governement and consists of a Tricameral legislature:

House of Representatives (Lower house) – Elected assembly that debates issues and writes bills to send to the House of Senates and Judicials
House of Senates (Middle house) – The Senators receive bills from the House of Representatives and debate amongst them.
House of Judicials (Upper house) - The Judicials pass or veto the bill depending on the majority of the Representatives and the Senators.

Sessions of both the House of Representatives and Senates are televised, and open to public spectators, while the House of Judicials is held in a private court room in Hiltix's capital, Hilti.

However the Prime Minister can declare a session closed if it discusses 'secret matters of national security' in which case that session will be closed to the public and TV cameras, and the secret sections of the minutes will be censored. This clause is rarely called into use.

The Prime Minister of Hiltix serves as both the head of state and head of government for a 5 year term - the Minister System only dates from March 2007 in Hiltix, so thus far there has been only one Hiltixan President. The Prime Minister may serve up to three, consecutive terms.

History

The Beginning

Hiltix was founded by The Kingdom of Kindjal as a separate piece of land for mining special minerals. Grangerford Hiltix was put in as Manager in Chief of the well-known site. After two years of mining and finding barely enough to statisfy Kindjal, Grangerford traveled back to Kindjal to report that not enough minerals were found to boost the economy in Kindjal. After the report, Hiltix traveled back to the mining site to establish a colony of his own. Hiltix knew that the land was rich and fertile for great agricultural development. Hiltix named the establishment after himself and became the Prime Minister of the Colony of Hiltix.

1864-1902

After the colonial Hiltix was established, many citizens from other nations traveled to Hiltix to establish their own town inside the country. Christianity was established as the official religion in 1883 on an 11-3 vote in the House of Representatives and Senates. 1900 marked the year of change with many advances in technology. This didn't last long, however, because of the War with the Republic of LiveLeak in 1902.

The War with LiveLeak

LiveLeak is a small nation just southwest of Hiltix. LiveLeak insisted that the mineral rights belonged to them because they discovered Hiltix in 1798. Hiltix immediately declined the statement, claiming that it has physical proof that Hiltix was discovered by Mining General Manager, Grangerford Hiltix, in 1862. After Hiltix's claim reached LiveLeak, a battle clashed in the city of Gorgonian, along the Jilliam River Valley. Hiltix's 400,000-men army outnumbered LiveLeak's 78,000-men army. After six months of fighting, LiveLeak withdrew, stating that the Republic's troop level was below the required amount to successfully win a war. LiveLeak still disputes the fact that Grangerford discovered Hiltix in 1862, but remains out of touch with Hiltix. In all, 119,000 men died on both sides, resulting in the economy declining and inflation to increase.

Present-day Hiltix

The Integrated Territories of Hiltix is a massive, devout nation, notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed, intelligent citizens enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Education and Public Transport are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.

An enormous health awareness program is underway, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, and the institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hiltix's national animal is the yellow-winged darter, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the hilt.
