The Dominion of Sayuria has a twisted and unusual history. Sayuria Corporation imploded towards the end of July 2006, after a horrific accident at one of it's main processing plants, as a result stocks crashed and a huge majority of employees left. Sayyan LeSuere, the founder of the corporation was exiled from all UN nations, an unprecedented move. With a small group of loyal employees, Sayyan LeSuere founded a new nation in an area of land he had secured many years before for conventional weapons testing. The nation operates on a largely corporate fiscal policy, it's a hierarchical dictatorship and as it is so new, all current inhabitants live there voluntarily.

It is important to note that the dictatorship is not cruel; there is also a weekly meeting of significant citizens to discuss events as well as acting as a legislative body. The only difference to most democratic countries is that the leader, Sayyan LeSuere has veto on all items decided, and may create laws at a whim, though this power has yet to be abused.

History

Sayuria Corporation was one of the worlds largest research and development institutions, working in almost all sectors, including domestic, public and defence. Researching, designing and creating everything from kitchen appliances to cars, cars to computers, computers to weapons platforms, and weapons platforms to windshields. With it's headquarters, and all it's production facilities operating solely from Switzerland it managed to maintain good relationships with customers from all over the world.

The new nation was founded on 20th November, 2005; and efforts to begin expanding it took hold quickly, thousands of top thinkers and intellectuals, emigrated to Sayuria, due to their thoughts on the handling of the original accidents. The doors were also opened to any person who wished to enter the country, regardless of gender, race or nationality, due to the gold and raw materials reserves Sayuria Corp. had built up, many millions of people who had been illegally staying in other countries, or living in refugee camps flocked the the nation, building up it's infrastructure, and beginning to rebuild their own lives along with it.

Elections

It seems odd for a dictatorship to have elections, and as has been stated before; it is not a total dictatorship. An election will only come about on the death of an Executive who has named no successor, the people will then voter on the new Executive; and until death or legislation calls for one, an election will not be held.

The laws surrounding elections in Sayuria are extremely stringent; owing the nature of the elected leaders term in office. To be eligible to stand for election, you must meet many criterion aimed at proving your worthiness to the country; you must be well studied in statecraft, politics and economy. One of the biggest points of election law is that during the campaign the candidates must not lie, if elected any promises made must be carried out, or the Executives office is null, and a re-election called.
