The Republic of Latyaq (Arabic:الجمهورية الاتيقية Al Jumhuriyah Al Lataqiyyah) is a nation. It is a Republic, as it's name suggests. The nation was founded in June 2006. The Constitution was soon voted on and approved by the nation. The national news channel is Al Latyaqiyah.

History

Latyaq was founded in June 2006. As of right now it is only a few days old. The Constitution of Latyaq has been voted on, and passed, making the nation a Republic. Latyaq soon requested to become allied with some nation. Mercosis and Latyaq founded the Al Iskandariyah Pact, and The Scandinvans offered to help joined the Al Iskandariyah Pact while also joining The Valdra Accords. Somehow, though, a civil war immediately broke out in Latyaq. No one knows why, some believe that the people are dissatisfied with all the foreign aid.

Currently, the Civil war is going on, and the Government is fighting some rebels.

Politics

The Latyaq constitution was approved by the government only days after the nation was founded. Latyaq decided that it shall follow Lebanon's example, and the president must be Christian, and the Prime Minister must be Muslim. This arrangement is the "National Pact". Latyaq made Abdul Ahmad the president and Mahmoud Nejad the Prime Minister. The nation also has no official flag yet. Under the Latyaq constitution, the Christians and Muslims are both equally respected. Freedom of religion is guarenteed. Arabic is the official language, and Persian and Kurdish are recognized as minority languages. All schools must have language courses in at least Persian, English, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and Spanish.
