The History of Setats Denitu as a nation extends only about 400 years, but the history of the inhabitants goes back much farther. The area was originally made up of three separate nations: the Empire of Setatsia was founded when the remnants of the Knights Setatsian converted a minor potentate, the Liegelord Gunther Eriksen, to Christianity, and vowed in return to serve him. Gunther's son, the Liegelord Olaf Gunthersen, began the great expansion which would eventually expand to include the Western Half of the current nation. | The History of Setats Denitu as a nation extends only about 400 years, but the history of the inhabitants goes back much farther.

The Democratic Republic of Setats Denitu is a large, democratic, and economically unstable nation in the Region. Though the nation has a long history as a politically stable and free democracy, it also has a long history of seemingly random government intervention in the economy of the nation: at times it opens up the economy to private enterprises; at other times (such as under the Hill Administration), it nationalizes everything in sight, often with little warning. This on occasion has produced economic turmoil, and when it does, the entire government is ousted through a referendum.
Contents
Government
The Government consists of four main branches: the Legislative, the Executive, the Judicial, and the Tribunal branches. The powers of these branches are spelled out in the two founding documents of the Government of the Democratic Republic: the Basic Law and the Constitution.
Legislative
The Legislative power in Setats Denitu lies in the bicameral People's Assembly. The two houses are the Senate and the Council of Delegates. Councillors are elected by the people for two year terms from multi-member districts. Senators are popularly elected every four years, with half of the senate standing for re-election every two years. One senator represents each State.
Executive
The Executive power lies vested in the Executive Secretariat. This body consists of the Secretary-General, the various Secretaries, and the Ombudsman. All members of the Executive Secretariat are popularly elected for six year terms, and may be elected any number of times, but may not hold office longer than twice consecutively.
Judicial
The Judicial power in Setats Denity is vested in the Supreme People's Court. This body consists of seven judges appointed for 25 year terms by the Senate, from amongst candidates selected jointly by the Ombudsman and the Attorney General. This body is the final court of appeals for all court cases, and may determine the constitutionality of a law or other government decision.
Tribunal
The Tribunal power rests in the Congress of All People's Deputies and in the Ombudsman. The Congress of All People's Deputies sits at minimum for two months every three years, to discuss the actions taken by the government, ensure their compatibility with the Constitution, the Basic Law, and the people's will. It has the authority to begin impeachment of members of the Government and to call for a national referendum for Ammendments to the Constitution with a two-thirds majority, and repeal any law or executive decision with a simple majority.
The Ombudsman is elected to veto legislation (vetos can be over-ridden with a two-thirds majority in the People's Assembly) and to assist in suits and other cases against the government for transgressions against the rights of the people.
History
The History of Setats Denitu as a nation extends only about 400 years, but the history of the inhabitants goes back much farther. The area was originally made up of three separate nations: the Empire of Setatsia was founded when the remnants of the Knights Setatsian converted a minor potentate, the Liegelord Gunther Eriksen, to Christianity, and vowed in return to serve him. Gunther's son, the Liegelord Olaf Gunthersen, began the great expansion which would eventually expand to include the Western Half of the current nation.
In 1080, English Traders founded the city of Islingham, the current Capital of Setats Denitu, in a natural harbor at the neck of the Karelian Peninsula. It quickly became prosperous, and by 1185, became the capital of the Grand Duchy of Denitu when Grand Duke Griorgi ascended to the Throne. In 1421, the Grand Duke Vladimir IV conquered all of the southern half of Karelia. As a result of this conquest, he had himself crowned Emperor Vladimir I of Denitu.
In the north of Karelia, a hybrid Dragon-Human culture developed independently, calling themselves the Murmansk. It was run by a council of representatives from each tribe, with each tribe's elders choosing the representative, or Pujuha.
In 1583, the Emperor Vasiliy II of Denitu married the eldest daughter of Liegelord Haraald Bjornisen and heir-apparent Hildagard. Thus, the crowns of Setatsia and Denitu, and the nations, were united when their son, Griorgi Haraaldsen, who merged the two nations into a single state after being crowned both Emperor and Liegelord.
In 1653, Emperor Gustav III of Setatsia conquered the Murmansk, subjugating its inhabitants.
Current Events
The previous administration of Secretary-General Jo-Ellen Hill re-nationalized nearly the entire private sector, causing severe economic turmoil. In last months elections, called by a successful recall referendum against the entire Executive Secretariat, the Hill Administration was sweeped out of power, and replaced by present Secretary-General William Victor Goldman. "Big" Bill Goldman has promised to put the economy back on track with a New Economic Policy, which he has not yet defined.
