Hirgizstan

A View of the Commonwealth

The Commonwealth of Hirgizstan is a growing an expanding Nationalist and deeply conservative nation. It covers many millions of square Kilometers and includes 3 Colonies. The Current population is over 9 Billion and is still growing. The people of Hirgizstan itself have a rich and varied history stretching back to the 14th Century when the nomadic tribe of the Hirgizstanii finally conquered the Imperial and Feudalistic forces that had purged the land and almost destroyed a people.

In the 16th Century a Civil War broke out in Hirgizstan over the ethnic claims of a small tribe, separate from the Hirgizstanii. Old rivalries were renewed and what was a small problem exploded into a 4 year long Civil War in which hundreds of thousands were killed. The Army of the Union of Hirgizstan eventually won the war and the Hirgizstanii and other tribes settled into their peaceful existence once more.

Since then the Hirgizstanian nation has arisen as a World Leader in both economic and military might yet has maintained its realist-isolationist stance in global politics. It has become a key figure on the international stage. Originally playing a significant role in the Smolny Civil War, the Commonwealth of Hirgizstan (Then the Dictatorship of Hirgizstan) has slowly but surely expanded its horizons and began to form the Commonwealth that it is today, expanding firstly across the island chain known now as Hirgizstanian Nations, then annexation and a bloody 2 year long war brought the rugged nation of Legionnaires into the Hirgizstanian Commonwealth. The latest Colony to become part of the Commonwealth was Victories, a vast nation and long-standing ally of the Dictatorship of Hirgizstan, its people voted to amalgamate themselves with the Commonwealth.

Since the war in Legionnaires and the anschluss with Victories the people of Hirgizstan have enjoyed an un-tainted period of calm and prosperity. The Citizens of the Commonwealth live well and are allowed to live mostly as they please and complain very little. In annual surveys conducted by the Government the people are most concerned with Security and Crime. Over 90% of all Commonwealth Citizens feel that they are safer than many other places in the world, both from domestic and international threats. Third on the list was Economic stability and Prosperity, and from the figures it would seem that people in the Commonwealth live well, and with rising prosperity and economic strength this can only get better.

The Government

The Government of the Commonwealth of Hirgizstan is highly centralized. The Government does not subscribe to any particular Right Wing movement, rather it subscribes to a hybrid doctrine of its own engineering.

For efficiency the Government is tiered, down to the lowest point. The lowest form of Government is local, towns and villages etc, ruled by Mayor's and Councils. The candidates are Government chosen but are elected by the populace of the town or village. The tier is the City which are organised in a similar fashion. Counties are the next tier up and are ruled by a Council, presided over by a Gauleiter, the Gauleiter and the Council are chosen by the State Governor, quite a high position. The Province Governer is the next step up the, fairly close to the top positions. Provinces are higher than States. The next tier is the Colonial Ministers, appointed by the Fuhrer. There are three at the moment and they are called '1st Ministers' of their respective Colonies. They are presided over by the General Officer of the Commonwealth (GOC), who is appointed by the Fuhrer and is a member of the Cabinet. The Highest Tier is the Commonwealth, ruled, of course, by the Fuhrer.

The Ideology of the Commonwealth is a hybrid of numerous ideologies. It is Right Wing dynamism of the highest order, although older, conservative values are still upheld. The Government is not democratic but the people of the Commonwealth live generally free lives as long as they stay within the confines of the law, which is the Governments top priority, on a par with Defense. The general consensus in the people's minds is that the Government should stay mostly isolationist, which keeps the Commonwealth relatively secure and allows the people freedom from such damaging enterprises as the United Nations.

The Fuhrer is the the Leader of the Commonwealth, he is at the top and the people are in no doubt as to this fact. They know that if the Fuhrer choses to become involved in an International Situation then it will be for the good of the Commonwealth, the people do not believe that there is world order, only a few select states have order and it is in the interests of the Commonwealth to get involved only where the effects would reach it.
