Background

The history of Jey begings with the creation of the Domz Empire 3709. Headed by Drew Domz, this empire was comprised of 250 states, bound together by a strong agreement through the Treaty of Caxilan. For over 200 years, the Empire of Domz flourished under the political stability of Domz. The Empirical army readily conquered new lands all over the planet, and the economy was booming. However, the empire soon grew too large for one man's power. Very quickly, thoughts and rumors of various states declaraing independence angered the Emperor and his supporters. As a proud and soverign nation, Domz refused to allow itself to be weakened by a number of states seceding. The states grew angry and Emperor Domz issued the Writ of the Union--stating that no state was to secede from the Empire. Now outraged, the states declared war on the Emperor and his army, thus leading to the Domz War.

Domz War

Drew Domz retaliated to the states' agression, sending 2.5 million troops upon the offending areas in August, 4051. The states did not possess well trained troops and were severly outnumbered if they remained separate. As such, the 78 states now at war with Domz formed a new nation--The Grenevan Territories.

The Grenevan Territories quickly imposed drafts on their "citizens" to help support their claim for independence. This action single-handedly won the war, but not for the Territories, but rather Domz. Part of the Treaty of Caxilan stated that states were under no circumstances allowed to impose mandatory military submission upon their citizens. Now that the Territories had violated the most important document in the history of the Empire, support for the war quickly grew. Hundreds of thousands flocked to sign up to fight the enemy and the Emperial Army soon grew to 9.7 million soldiers who were fighting the 3.8 million Grenevan Soldiers.

After over 20 major battles, no army appeared to have the upper hand in the war. Then, in 4053, Domz located the rumored stronghold of the Grenevan soldiers--Le'Plusherre. This massive fort (which in fact was more like a city) housed over 1.75 million Grenevan soldiers. Upon sending 7.2 million soldiers to the location, all the Grenevan soldiers were killed along with 2.9 million Empirical Forces. Two days later, the Territories surrendered. In the end, over 5 million soldiers were lost in this bloody war.

Emperor Domz, the leaders of the states, and Ka'il Falshone--the monarch of The Grenevan Territories--met to discuss the post-war era of the Empire. It was in this "war" that Domz met his lowest point.

Virtually dishonoring Domz and the previous war, Falshone and the state leaders unanimously voted to break up the Empire to prevent another Domz War replica. Domz refused to sign the new Treaty of Qualo unless he was given some power in the 64 nations that would be granted independence as a result. They abliged. Falshone was given a 50-year sentence in a maximum security prison for reasons of treason, but he was parolled very early in the term. In 4075, Domz signed the Treaty of Qualo. In 4076 he was asked to become the president of the then Republic of Jey--one of the new 64 nations. He accepted.

Jey's Early History

As the debates over the Treaty of Qualo cooled and the new 64 nations began solidifying their independance, The Grenevan Territories struck again, showing their true intention--assassinating Domz. A Grenevan Army Unit of 15,000 men marched accross the Jevian border in 4101 into Domz City, and into the capitol buidling. They marched into Domz's office and found nothing. Seconds earlier, he had been evacuated and was already in the air, 10 miles away. The survivors of the invasion of Domz City rushed out of the capitol building as artillery demolished it, killing all of the Grenevan soldiers. As news reached the Emperor of The Grenevan Territories, Ka'il Falshone, that the assassination was unsuccessful, he realized the great threat that arouse from not only Jey, but all other nations of the former Empire. Jey allied with 60 nations of the former Empire and threw an all-out assault on The Grenevan Territories in 4102. Within 2 weeks, the country fell. Less than 2 million men were lost in the War of Grenevan Succession, a small amount when compared to The Domz War. Jey immediately annexed most of the lands of Greneva, and called on its allies to join the union of the Allied Empire of Jey. Under the newest treaty, The Peace of Domz, 55 of the 60 allies agreed, and appointed a Parliamentary Bureaucracy system, still with Domz at the head. Each nation now became a state of the Allied Empire of Jey, and its leader became a member of the Jevian Executives (JE), who ratified declarations on issues, pending approval from Domz. The former Empire of Domz, in 4105 was then consisted of 9 nations--an extremely large Allied Empire of Jey, and 8 other nations that refused to re-join the Union. As of 4150, the Peace of Domz is still in effect and still working. 3 of the nations that refused to re-join the Union have already become part of the Allied Empire, and all other nations have hinted that they may do the same. Through Domz's unwavering committment to his Empire, we have been able to hold together and become one of the greatest Empires ever. Praise Lord Domz!

Jey Today

Jey's current conditions are extremely promising. Through Jey's major exports of Arms Manufacturing, other military utilities, and Automobile Manufacturing, the economy is booming. The unemployment and crime rates are relatively low, and the citizens enjoy massive political freedoms and human rights from Emperor Domz. For more information on our major exporting companies and governmental policies and administrations, see below.

Recent National Updates

Our military currently maintains control over large portions of land around the Empire. The Empire's military has assumed authority over half of the Grenevan Territories, which pose little threat to the life of Domz nor the Empire itself anymore. With the oceans around the Empire receding, large areas of land are now being discovered and inhabited by Jey. The Empire is growing quickly, and with Domz's approval rating at an all-time high of 89.7%, there seems to be nothing that can halt our growth.

The most recent activity in Jey occured on January 12th, 4155. On this day, the Republic of Zyzz officially ceded their territory to the Allied Empire of Jey. In exchange for this, Jey sent to the now Jevian State of Zyzz military protection and a considerable sum of money. Zyzz will remin partially independent of Jey's government until March 1st, when Domz and the administration will assume full control. The number of countries remaining from the previous empire that have not yet rejoined is now 4.

Heritage & Races

Culture

Languages

Three languages are recognized by the Jevian government as official languages: Jevian, English, and Latin. All three languages are taught to students in all levels of education, though most schools use English in their other classes. Jevian is usually seen in common talk and other common, everyday, forms of communication. English is primarily used in written declarations and communication from the government and public forms of communication, such as newsprint. Latin is rarely seen. The only ritual use of Latin is through official declarations and speeches from the Emperor.

Holidays

The following are the nationally recognized Holidays in Jey:

Education

Jey maintains the most rigorous and trying educational system possible. A substantial amount of governmental spending is used to ensure the education of our youth. All education, with the exception of Universitus Education, is free of charge. However, boarding students must pay for rent.

Elementary Education

When children of Jey arrive at the age of 5 years, they are enrolled in a local School for Elementary Education. These schools provide children with the basics for Mathematics, Writing, Language and Grammar abilities, Philosophy, History, and the Sciences. Children of 13 years who receive a mimimum grade of 95% on the standardized "EEG" (Elementary Education Graduate) Test are permitted to advance to the next level of Jevian education. Those not receiving such a grade are required to spend a minimum of 12 extra months in Elementary Education every time they fail to acquire the standardized percentile.

Higher Education

Normally at the age of 13, children advance to the level of Higher Learning. Children are enrolled in one of 5,532 schools certified to provide High Education in Jey. Most of these children, because very few certified Higher Learning schools exist, board at their respective schools. Only certified professors or doctorates are permitted to teach at any of the Higher Educations Institutions, where children learn and practice near college-level topics on Earth History, Anatomy, Philosophies, Advanced Sciences, Advanced Writing, Calculus and other Advanced Matematics, Musical Abilities, and the Fine Arts. Children of the age of 18 are required to take the "JAT" (Jevian Aptitude Test). Those scoring a 97% are provided the ability to move on to the next level of learning. Those not receiving 97%, again, are required to remain behind at least 12 months after each failing. After 3 failings, students are no longer allowed into a Jevian Education Institution. It is a requirement of all Jevian citizens to complete Higher Education (not necessarily receive 97% nor retry the test three times) in order to no longer be considered a minor in profession consideration.

Graduate Education

At the average age of 18, students move to Graduate education. Only 401 schools in Jey have received certificates to provide Graduate Education. Only adults who have received "Expert"-Level Degrees in their respective fields are permitted to provide Graduate Education. Students are required to learn Advanced Placement courses of Mathematics, the Sciences, Philosophy, Writing, and a Fine Arts or Musical course. Students must also select a major course selection from a wide variety of fields. At the age of 25, students who have a cumulative grade average of 97% are asked to take the "UT" (Universitus Test). Students scoring a perfect score (100.0%) are given the ability to advance to an even higher education. Those not receiving a perfect score are not permitted to take the UT again. Students may also qualify for a secondary branch of Universitus, Dukes Skills Centre (DKC), through a very selective scholarship program available to the most qualified students in Athletic, Musical, and Artistic abilities. Only 300 scolarships are issued nation-wide for acceptance in the DKC each year for all three categories combined. Learn more about the Dukes Skills Centre in Music, Sports, and Fine Arts.

Universitus Education

Only the most advanced students are permitted to Universitus--a massive university in the State of Domz whose area is larger then 3 of Jey's top 10 cities. Students spend anywhere from 5-25 years at Universitus learning the highest and most advanced topics known of a certain student's major course. 99.8% of permitted student at Universitus live there indefinately. Students are also required to be taught the higest levels of Matematics, the Sciences, and Writing. At Universitus, students study side-by-side with the most knowledgable professors in the country, and, many times, submit new discoveries to their field's community. Also at Universitus, students earn their degrees for their specific learning fields. Universitus has provided the most genius of Jevian minds. Students graduate from Universitus anywhere from the age of 30-50.

Music, Sports, and Fine Arts

Just as in Education, Jey maintains the highest standards for Music, Sports, and Fine Arts.

Youth Participation

Students in all levels of Education, up to Gradutate Education, must participate in one of these practices at an above-satisfactory level to be able to advance to the next level. After graduating from GE, a student's requirement in either Music, Sports, or Fine Arts, is over.

Dukes Skills Centre at Universitus

Students who excell above all others in these fields are given the ability to come to Universitus without needing the normal scholastic requirements of those students attending Universitus for educational reasons. 300 students are selected yearly, nation-wide, for enrollment at DSC, though they must maintain at least a 95% cumulative average in Graduate Education. Students of the DSC are taught by the greatest artists, musicians, and atheletes in Jey, and most arrive there in the hopes of becoming a member of the very selective professions associated with Music, Sports, and the Fine Arts. The students undergo the most rigorous training procedures for the betterment of their abilities. It is this methodology that has produced the greatest Artists, Musicians, and Athletes in Jey.

Professions

The best of the best in these fields may receive an offer from a number of governmentally-recognized Jevian organizations. These organizations are extremely selective and very few citizens are accepted into an official Artistic, Athletic, or Muscial professional organization. All is not lost for those who fail to achieve this status, however. Numerous independent organizations exist to provide those the ability to have a job in these fields.

The organizations recognized by Jey are split into three categories: Jevian Athletic Association, Jevian Artistic Soceity, and the Jevian Music Organization.

Jevian Athletic Association

Jey competes internationally with a number of countries in a number of sports. The teams used for this international play are members of the Jevian Athletic Association (JAA). Though the international play is the most popular, Jey also has national leagues in all of the groups below as well. Organizations in the JAA include, but are not limited to the:

• Jevian Baseball League (Repeated Champion in International Play)

• Jevian Basketball Association (2nd Runner-Up in International Play)

• Jevian Football Association (Champion in International Play)

• Jevian Hockey (1st Runner-Up in International Play)

• Jevian Soccer (2nd Runner-Up in International Play)

• Jevian Golf League

• Jevian Tennis Alliance (10-Time Champion in International Play)

• Jevian Track and Field (1st Runner-Up in International Play)

• Jevian Water Athletics (Overall Champion in International Play)

• Jevian Winter Athletics (Overall 1st Runner-Up in International Play)

Jevian Soceity of the Arts

Jey is commonly seen as a great patron of the arts. Over 200 billion jey give me moneys are transferred each Jevian Year in arts trading. Popular artistic genres include Renaissance painting, 3-D design, and abstract art. The Jevian Soceity of the Arts (JSA) is constantly ridiculed by outside artists, however, because of the methods of acceptance. The JSA requires an examination of talent before acceptance, seen by artists to be an affront to artistic integrity. Many say that the talent of artists cannot be measured by any one person, and thus, the means of acceptance is immoral. The JSA admission committee is comprised of the 15 most talented artists in Jey, who judge the talent of artists on a number of levels, with an extensive knowledge of every artistic genre currently practiced. Currently, roughly 2,050 citizens are members of the JSA, who are required to produce at least one completed and accepted work of art yearly, to retain membership in the Soceity. No official list of sub-organizations is available.

Jevian Music Organization

Religion

As the government of Jey currently endorses no religions, and taxes them the same as other companies, churches have a difficult time in amassing followers. The current breakdown of religion in Jey is:

Expanded Information: Church of Jey

Government

The Government of Jey is comprised of 5 branches: Presidential, Executive, Legislative, Judicial, and International. Each branch is comprised of citizens of a certain political party.

Political Parties

To receive recognition from the Jevian Government, a political party must have at least one member in one of the following governmental organizations, and must have at least .1% of the total vote tally. Currently, 9 parties meet these requirements.

Presidential Branch

Drew Domz is the head of the Presidential branch of the government. In terms of power, the Presidential Branch is the ultimate authority, with the power to overrule decisions by the executive branch, and the ability to submit new proposals to the executive branch, without consent of the Legislature. The Presidential Branch is comprised of the Emperor, Deputy Emperor, and 13 Cabinet Members, all selected by the Emperor. Upon an Emperor's death, Jey hold's an Emperical Election, in which every vote-bearing citizen (those of the 16th year of age) is asked to cast a vote upon 5 candidates. After an Emperor is elected, he selects his Deputy, and his Cabinet Members, who serve until either the death of the emperor or their own death (whichever occurs first), and all of which are subject to approval of the Executives, thus making the Presidential Branch.

The following are the members of the Presidential Branch, in order of decreasing rank. All of the leaders of the Presidential Branch are either members of the JEP or JLS:

Executive and Legislative Branches

The Executive Branch of government is comprised of 65 Jevian Executives (JE), one for each official state, all of which are voted on by the people of the respective state. The JEs retain the power to ratify bills passed by the HOJR into law, treaties, Cabinet Members, and Deputy Emperors. The JEs serve a 5 year term.

The Legislative Branch of government is comprised of 139 citizens in the House of Jevian Representatives (HOJR), two for each official state, and one for each officially recognized Jevian Territorial Area. The HOJR retains the ability to pass bills to the JEs to potentially become law, and propose ammendments and repeals. Members of the HOJR serve a 3 year term, and are elected by the vote-bearing citizens of Jey.

The following is a listing of all the JEs and the HOJRs (Background colors represent the aforementioned political parties, and the (UN) tag designated a representative that is a member of the JUNR):

(The listing of JEs is now updated and congruent with the results of the 4155 Election. Next Election: 4158--HOJR)

The following are the Representatives from the Territories of Jey:

Judicial Branch

The Judicial Branch of the government is comprised by elected judges of the Jevian High Court (JHC). The 10-member court is elected by all the vote-bearing citizens of Jey, the Most Honorable Judge is elected by the fellow Judges, and all serve life-long terms. The JHC retains the ability to decide on the court issues of the highest importance, and set precendents on how future cases of the same issue may be handled.

The following judges comprise the JHC:

International Branch

The International Branch of government does not concern itself with Jevian internal issues, but rather international affairs, hence the name. Most of the Branch is comprized of the 8 citizens of the Jevian UN Representatives (JUNR), who discuss UN proposals to be submitted by Jey, and decide which proposals to endorse and vote For/Against. Drew Domz is the head of the JUNR, which pass a Jevian Endorsement for a proposal by a majority vote (5/8) and decides on "At Vote" by a 6/8 vote. The other members of the JUNR are named from the HOJR.

The following citizens comprise the JUNR:

For information on the achievements of the International Branch, see United Nations Involvement.

The remaining portion of the International Branch is comprized of ambassadors, usually one ambassador is assigned to each nation of Jey's region. There is no official listing of all the Jevian Ambassadors (JAs). However, the list of the leading ambassadors is provided here:

The JCF receives their armed capabilities from the Jevian Arms League. Producing over 2 million handguns and light weaponry daily, the JAL is the world's leading arms manufacturing company. Providing not only the rifles for our troops, the JAL constructs all the materials used by the JCF--from airfields to vessels to intelligence buildings, as well as sending numerous other nations with miltary help through exports. The JAL's President is also under the authority of Emperor Domz. For more information, visit the Jevian Arms League page.
