 +
A nation primarily on the Vuhifellian continent, with several overseas provinces, territories, and colonies.
  
=== The Presidency ===
+
==Politics==
: The President is elected through a majority of the citizens, not electoral votes, however in the course of a 50/50 Campaign, Each of the States and Provinces is given a number of electoral votes.
+
  
* Greykan: 1 Electoral Vote
+
The Vuhifellian Empire is based around a "Democratic Empire." That is, the Emperor is authorized to personally exercise power, but their power can be stripped, reduced, or over-ridden by democratically elected officials. The Emperor has authority in all three branches of government. However, the Supreme Council acts as the executive branch. The Federal Congress acts as the legislative branch. And the Imperial Court acts as the judicial branch.
* Tylian: 2 Electoral Votes
+
* Erusea: 3 Electoral Votes
+
* Valgan: 4 Electoral Votes
+
* East Point: 5 Electoral Votes
+

A Supreme Councilor may only vote YEA or NAY in his/her council (however in the Supreme Council they may also ABSTAIN). There are three High Councilors, one Vice-Councilor, and one Supreme Councilor on every council.
  
The tribes living in the continent at the time were known as the Comonas, Greykans, Tylians, Erusians, and Valgans, hence either a state or a commonwealth was named in honor of them. The Easterners who colonized the East Coast, had named that part of the continent East Point, a name that is still in use today.
+
''[[List of councils in the Vuhifellian Federation]]''
  
The technology of the early people was primitive compared to the settlers, but they had amazing cultural works that were scattered around Vuhifell. One example of success of the early tribes was the great monument in the Goldberg Desert, a towering obelisk that stood 700 feet high, was meant to honor the Sun God, Pulfis. The monument however, was destroyed not too long after the fall of New Vuhifell, successor to Vuhifell and predecessor to The Vuhifellian States. However great temples were not only built there, in the Katuri Jungle, Northwest of the city of Comberth, an ancient Erusian Temple dating back to 500 B.C. was discovered housing the shrine to Lucian, God of Nature. The temple had a hole in the cieling to let in sunlight, and in the middle of the alter stood a statue of Lucian kneeling towards the Ruler God, Tyth.
 
  
A few centuries ahead and our history goes into the founding of the oringinal Vuhifellian Nation, named "Vuhifell" after the continent it took up, The settlers began taming the tribes until they defected and became one with our modern culture. Vuhifell was founded around 1697 A.D. For the next 100 years life was tough, until Vuhifell united the entire continent into one nation in 1787, establishing the oringinal capital at Hivez, a rich port between Comberth and Golden Skies City.  
+
=== Federal Law Review ===
 +
If a petition of at least 100,000,000 citizens signatures (4 refugee signatures count as 1 citizen signature, all signatures must be from a citizen/refugee at least 16 years of age) is presented to the High Court, it may then hold a Federal Law Review, allowing the Federal government, Provincial governments, city governments, and the common man, to all discuss revisions to the Federal Constitution.
  
In the year 1799, civil war broke out, The Greykan's demanded independence, and they were fighting a tough fight for it. By the end of the war in 1803 Half of Greykan lay in ruins, and the death toll had mointed to over a million on both sides. Another Civil War from Greykan two years later brought the nation into complete Anarchy. The first Vuhifellian Revolution had begun!
+
Recently agreed upon in Federal Law Review XXVIII was that, along with Constitutional Law, dicussions may also be aroused based on federal law, provincial law, municipal law, corporate standards, and government operating proceedures.  
  
By the end of this war however, 60% of the country lay in ruin, and the death toll had reached 20 million. Eager to end the war the natives of Erusea and Valgan rebelled also. The end of the socialist regime of Vuhifell had ended, and when New Vuhifell was founded in 1849, a civil war broke out again. The Greykans did not want to be treated the best by the government, they wanted their plain independence. This war lasted only 18 Months but put a major dent into the young nation born out of Vuhifell's ashes. By 1865 The fifth Vuhifellian Civil War had begun, again erupting in Greykan. This War took over 12 Million lives in total and by the war's end, even though Vuhifellian Troops had managed to succeed in keeping New Vuhifell together, it felt that soon the nation would break apart. In 1956 the sixth Vuhifellian Civil War erupted in Erusea, convinced by propaganda from Greykan. This time the rebels almost succeeded in taking control, they had marched right up to the Capital and killed everybody inside the Capital Building. Bloody battles followed as Federal Troops were pushed back into Comberth and Shellfish Falls. The main stalinist supporter of the campaign was Malcolm Rodriguez, a Tylian who was greatly inspired by the achievements of Stalin. Days after the incident at the Capital former President Michael Daniels, Great-Grandfather of the current President, Stevan Daniels, appeared on T.V. He urged for reinforcments and in time they grew, but some nations supported the stalinists, crushing the last Democratic resistance in the Eastern Half of the Country. Finally at the last moment, HIARC Scientists developed Vuhifell's three deadliest superweapons.
+
Once several revisions are agreed on, they are put up on referendum to the populace (again, 4 refugee votes count as 1 citizen vote). A 70 percent majority is needed to pass each revision through referendum. Conversely (up until Federal Law Review XXVIII) Congress could ratify revisions in through a simple majority. Revisions have been completed through congressional approval 5 times. Revisions have been completed through referendums 24 times. (Last Federal Law Review was Review XXIX)
  
* ''Megalith'' Missile Silos: Can carry 500 ICBM's in one silo, has 25 silos...
 
* Stonehenge Artillery Battery: 8 Huge Cannons with enough destructive force to leave a mile wide crater in the Earth. Range: 3000 Miles
 
* Ion Cannon: Space Based Weapons Platform that fires an extremely powerful laser down to Earth, is the only weapon known to Vuhifell to incinerate every atom it touches.
 
  
With these new weapons the Allied Forces continually pounded Greykan until they finally had surrendered. In total, over 95 Million lives were lost, and 446 Million crippled. This is the only war that Vuhifell has fought in where we have lost so many troops and civilians. It is hard to imagine that just five years later, in 1983, a revolution would occur, though only losing 200,000 troops, the government collapsed, and in the ensueing chaos, several ancient sites such as the Goldberg Desert Temple were destroyed. Federal troops lost so fast in battles that Allied Commanders told them to use "Planet Busters", Missiles from MEGALITH that can scorch a square mile of Earth in 10 seconds. The Vuhifellian Continent is still recovering from these explosions.
+
== History ==
  
Finally in A.D. 2065 the last Civil War breaks out, at first the Elite Black Guard Units and the soldiers with MOLIGNAR Armor are losing, but eventually are unstoppable. To prevent further Civil Chaos, New Hivez has ordered that all Greykans be deported. Finally with only 3 soldiers dead, and a 65 Billion dollar reconstuction bill, the Vuhifellian Continent can see Peace.
+
{{Main|History of Vuhifell}}
  
==Foreign history==
+
The first recorded evidence of Vuhifellian civilization was found in 1994, when a marble pillar was discovered in a cave in the province of Greykan. There were eight sides to it, of which, six had ancient Kazach markings on them which recorded the history of Greykan as far back as 1200 BC.
  
Vuhifell has been in little wars abroad and, besides the occasional standoff with Doujin, has had very little activity on the world stage. It was not until Michael Daniels became President when Vuhifell started to act up, voting in the U.N., joining alliances, and sending troops overseas. Michael Daniels' Great-Grandson, Stevan Daniels, is the current President and is opening up new opportunities.
+
Archeological evidence suggests that organized cultures and societies first appeared on the continent around 2000 BC, with the five major tribes of the Vuhifellian continent developing their own unique governments, cultures, and values. Yet, throughout the entire continent, even to present day, the tribes were united by a common religion, the native polytheistic religion known as Kazan.
  
The Vuhifellian States is currently a member of the Following Alliances:
+
Vuhifell was discovered by foreign colonists and explorers in 1418 AD, where several powers soon colonized heavy portions of the continent. Over the next 300 years, many areas were granted their independence through several methods, some through violent revolution, others through massive general strikes. However, the first central government known as the "Republic of Vuhifell", a weak government that controlled only small portions of the continents coastline appeared in 1700. A few years later, the [[Vuhi-Kazach War]] broke out, and would last for the next 370 years, seeing only brief periods of ceasefire, often times for Vuhifellians and Kazachs to unite to fight a common enemy. The Vuhi-Kazach War is unique, in that the ultimate motives for the war constantly changed, from independence, to ethnic strife, to economic troubles, to the War's final chapter: religious fundamentalism. The Vuhi-Kazach War is the single most defining event of the continent's history, and many aspects of the nation today have deep roots in the War.

+
Today, the Vuhifellian continent is stable, and the Federation is a strong Federal Republic, reaching out to absorb its former colonizers into its growing empire.

== Culture & Society ==
 
== Culture & Society ==
  
Modern Vuhifellian Society is very complex, much more complicated than the society of the indinginous peoples before the settlers arrived. Because Vuhifell lies on an island continent, Vuhifellians see themselves as isolated, when actually, the regional mainland is just 230 miles away.
+
{{Main|Culture of Vuhifell}}
  
=== Ancient Culture ===
+
Vuhifell's culture can only be described as diverse. While most aspects of Vuhifellian society today are rooted in ancient Kazach traditions and values, there are several Pan-Asiatic traditions on the continent as well. While, during the War (when discrimination against Kazachs was rampant), a vast 90 percent of the population proclaimed themselved atheist, after the War's end, Kazan temples were open and Kazan Maesters were once again allowed to preach sermons. As a result, there has been a very high resurgence of Kazach religious traditions, and atheism is rapidly declining as more of the populace convert to the Kazan religion.
  
The native Vuhifellians: The Comonas, Greykans, Tylians, Erusians, and Valgans, had a simple culture. Based entirely around their polytheistic religion, the native tribes forbid warring amongst villages and tribes, and thus, true peace was achieved.
+
Famous figures in Vuhifell's history are highly revered and their images are cherished and paraded through city streets on holidays. Many Vuhifellians hold a strong sense of honor and national unity, and view the defense of their honor as the defense of their life.  
  
Once the first settlers arrived in the 1500's, life became very different. The natives adopted English as a language and began assimilating to outside culture. What was once blasphemy was now common action and language.  
+
Vuhifellians are also extremely nationalistic and, as a result of foreign nations taking advantage of her during times of emergency, slightly xenophobic. However, citizens from nations such as [[Van Luxemburg]], [Southeastasia]], or [[Wingarde]] are highly regarded because of their close relations to the Federation. As a result, tourism is very popular in the Federation, as the individual results of one proclaiming their nationality can vary, ranging from scorn and ridicule, to indifference, to a Vuhifellian citizen shaking your hand and publicly praying for your nation's prosperity.
  
After the founding of Vuhifell, colonial culture started to appear in great numbers, fine music, the arts, entertainment, capitalistic taverns and corporations, and civil and political rights began to appear.
 
 
=== A Time of Religion ===
 
 
The arrival of Christianity by the settlers brought about a new time of religious prosperity. Thus the patriarch of Hivez became the second most powerful person on the continent before the President. When the government officially became atheist in 1777, the power of the church began to decline, and Vuhifellians based their actions not on religion, but on capitalistic gain.
 
 
=== Modern Times ===
 
 
The majority of modern Vuhifellians enjoy a host of several green technologies, entertainment venues and programs, and other luxuries.
 
 
Vuhifellians have many expensive tastes, fortunately, many of the needs and wants of Vuhifell are produced by one domestic Corporation, Foxtecha. Since tens of millions of Vuhifellians live in Golden Skies City alone, an adequate transit system was needed. The Vuhifellian Magnetic Transport Tube(MTT) is a system of magnetic trains, streets, and transport tubes that move citizens from place to place in the enormous city.
 
 
Since green technology has made pollution down to almost zero, even the air in Golden Skies City is clean and fresh, thus healthcare can be overlooked in some areas due to better overall health in the nation than 100 years ago.

Each city is led by the mayor of that particular municpality. They, along with their local council, control not only education, but health, local taxes, etc. While following the Federal Education Curriculum (FEC) is not neccessary, it is required that a school offer all courses in the FEC in order to recieve funds from the federal government though the Council of Education.
  
Education is paramount in Vuhifellian society, starting at age 3, the curriculum for Vuhifellian Schools is as follows:

Latest revision as of 13:23, 5 November 2007


ATTENTION: This Page is Under Revision

A nation primarily on the Vuhifellian continent, with several overseas provinces, territories, and colonies.

Politics

The Vuhifellian Empire is based around a "Democratic Empire." That is, the Emperor is authorized to personally exercise power, but their power can be stripped, reduced, or over-ridden by democratically elected officials. The Emperor has authority in all three branches of government. However, the Supreme Council acts as the executive branch. The Federal Congress acts as the legislative branch. And the Imperial Court acts as the judicial branch.


The Emperor

The first Emperor is Senna Senna, who was President of the Federation at the time of the Empire's proclamation. It has been decided that future Emperors shall be "elected" by a vote within the Four Noble Families of Vuhifell.

The Emperor can personally use their power in all aspects of Vuhifellian government and also command the Imperial Military. They are permitted to, at will, dismiss public officials, even judges on the Imperial Court and members of the Federal Congress. However, Councillors of the Supreme Council may not be dismissed, and the Supreme Council holds the authority to strip the Emperor of all their powers.

For full information on the Vuhifellian election system, visit: Vuhifellian Election Procedure


Supreme Council

The leaders of the lower councils of the Empire are sent to the Supreme Council, where they act as a de facto executive. Each councillor is democratically elected, and in order to carry out executive duties, unanimous approval is needed from all councillors (with the exception of votes pertaining to the Emperor, which only require a simple majority). All actions taken by the Council need to be approved by the Executive Lord, who is also democratically elected.

Federational Congress

The Federational Congress is a bicameral legislature. Featuring both the Congressional Delegation and the Senate. There is a fixed number of 3 senators per province.

A province recieves one Delegate to the Congressional Delegation for every 10 Million citizens. (Any provinces under 10 million are not represented (currently: Wellow and Gabet)

Congress holds the power to vote on new laws, vote on Federal Warrants for public officials (any Federal Government worker cannot be arrested or brought to trial without a warrant issued by Congress, and the High Court's approval of arrest). It controls funding for the different Councils, controls the tax rate, can declare war/surrender (the latter only being possible with approval from the Council of War), and approves referendums (when voting on specifically controversial issues)

Every Congressional session begins on the third Monday of January. Congressional meetings, debates, conferences, and voting sessions occur each week, Monday to Thursday, from 10:00 to 20:00.


Congressional Delegation

The Congressional Delegation is made up of over 440 Delegates from around the continent. It is the upper division of Congress, and it needs a simple majority of votes to pass any law. It is headed by the Supreme Delegate (the Supreme Delegate can veto anything passed in the Delegation, a simple majority is needed to override the veto). The Supreme Delegate is elected during every session of Congress.

A delegate serving in Congress is elected every year ending in either a 5 or 0.


Senate

The Senate is made up of 3 Senators from each province. It is the lower division of the Congress, and it needs a 65 percent majority to pass any legislation or issue in the Senate. It is headed by the Supreme Senator (who can veto anything passed in the Senate, a 65 percent majority is needed to override the veto). The Supreme Senator is elected during every session of Congress.

A Senator serving in Congress is elected every leap year.

High Court

The High Court consists of one Head Judge representing each province and district of Vuhifell. The High Judges are elected by their province's legislature, however, only the Federational Congress can elect a Supreme Judge. A High Court judge's term may not end until:

  • The judge dies
  • The judge resigns
  • A Provincial Administrator calls for new elections (the President can also call new elections for a Supreme Judge; this power may only be used once every presidential/administrative term, however, the election calling power is not cumulative.)

A Head Judge's vote counts once, the Supreme Judge's vote counts twice. There are currently 19 Head Judges and 1 Supreme Judge (a second Supreme Judge may be nominated in times of war)

The High Court directly handles cases between provinces, cases involving high-ranking government officials, and they hear any case brought to them that is not resolved by a lesser court (The Court of Appeals has to approve a lesser-court case before it is presented to the High Court).

The High Court can declare Vuhifellian diplomatic immunity null and void (along with the President and Supreme Council), dismiss high-ranking government officials, can declare Federal or Provincial laws null and void if they conflict with the Federal Constitution (or if Provincial laws conflict with federal laws, municipal laws conflict with provincial laws, etc.), and the High Court is also the middle point of Martial Law. If the Military Council submits a request for martial law in a specific town, province, or the entire nation, the High Court must vote to approve the request. After this, either the President, or the Supreme Council must approve the request in order to declare Martial Law.

Councils

Each council consists of five members, the five members vote on the policies of their respective councils. Councils are broken down into sub-divisions of Ministries (e.g. Council of War, Ministry of Defense); these sub-divisions are further broken down into sub-sub-divisions of Departments (e.g. Council of War, Ministry of Defense, Department of the Defense of North Belka)

A simple majority is needed to pass decisions in each council, when a tie is declared, the Supreme Councilor's vote counts twice. A Supreme Councilor may only vote YEA or NAY in his/her council (however in the Supreme Council they may also ABSTAIN). There are three High Councilors, one Vice-Councilor, and one Supreme Councilor on every council.

List of councils in the Vuhifellian Federation


Federal Law Review

If a petition of at least 100,000,000 citizens signatures (4 refugee signatures count as 1 citizen signature, all signatures must be from a citizen/refugee at least 16 years of age) is presented to the High Court, it may then hold a Federal Law Review, allowing the Federal government, Provincial governments, city governments, and the common man, to all discuss revisions to the Federal Constitution.

Recently agreed upon in Federal Law Review XXVIII was that, along with Constitutional Law, dicussions may also be aroused based on federal law, provincial law, municipal law, corporate standards, and government operating proceedures.

Once several revisions are agreed on, they are put up on referendum to the populace (again, 4 refugee votes count as 1 citizen vote). A 70 percent majority is needed to pass each revision through referendum. Conversely (up until Federal Law Review XXVIII) Congress could ratify revisions in through a simple majority. Revisions have been completed through congressional approval 5 times. Revisions have been completed through referendums 24 times. (Last Federal Law Review was Review XXIX)


History

Main article(s): History of Vuhifell

The first recorded evidence of Vuhifellian civilization was found in 1994, when a marble pillar was discovered in a cave in the province of Greykan. There were eight sides to it, of which, six had ancient Kazach markings on them which recorded the history of Greykan as far back as 1200 BC.

Archeological evidence suggests that organized cultures and societies first appeared on the continent around 2000 BC, with the five major tribes of the Vuhifellian continent developing their own unique governments, cultures, and values. Yet, throughout the entire continent, even to present day, the tribes were united by a common religion, the native polytheistic religion known as Kazan.

Vuhifell was discovered by foreign colonists and explorers in 1418 AD, where several powers soon colonized heavy portions of the continent. Over the next 300 years, many areas were granted their independence through several methods, some through violent revolution, others through massive general strikes. However, the first central government known as the "Republic of Vuhifell", a weak government that controlled only small portions of the continents coastline appeared in 1700. A few years later, the Vuhi-Kazach War broke out, and would last for the next 370 years, seeing only brief periods of ceasefire, often times for Vuhifellians and Kazachs to unite to fight a common enemy. The Vuhi-Kazach War is unique, in that the ultimate motives for the war constantly changed, from independence, to ethnic strife, to economic troubles, to the War's final chapter: religious fundamentalism. The Vuhi-Kazach War is the single most defining event of the continent's history, and many aspects of the nation today have deep roots in the War.

Today, the Vuhifellian continent is stable, and the Federation is a strong Federal Republic, reaching out to absorb its former colonizers into its growing empire.


Culture & Society

Main article(s): Culture of Vuhifell

Vuhifell's culture can only be described as diverse. While most aspects of Vuhifellian society today are rooted in ancient Kazach traditions and values, there are several Pan-Asiatic traditions on the continent as well. While, during the War (when discrimination against Kazachs was rampant), a vast 90 percent of the population proclaimed themselved atheist, after the War's end, Kazan temples were open and Kazan Maesters were once again allowed to preach sermons. As a result, there has been a very high resurgence of Kazach religious traditions, and atheism is rapidly declining as more of the populace convert to the Kazan religion.

Famous figures in Vuhifell's history are highly revered and their images are cherished and paraded through city streets on holidays. Many Vuhifellians hold a strong sense of honor and national unity, and view the defense of their honor as the defense of their life.

Vuhifellians are also extremely nationalistic and, as a result of foreign nations taking advantage of her during times of emergency, slightly xenophobic. However, citizens from nations such as Van Luxemburg, [Southeastasia]], or Wingarde are highly regarded because of their close relations to the Federation. As a result, tourism is very popular in the Federation, as the individual results of one proclaiming their nationality can vary, ranging from scorn and ridicule, to indifference, to a Vuhifellian citizen shaking your hand and publicly praying for your nation's prosperity.

Education

Each city is led by the mayor of that particular municpality. They, along with their local council, control not only education, but health, local taxes, etc. While following the Federal Education Curriculum (FEC) is not neccessary, it is required that a school offer all courses in the FEC in order to recieve funds from the federal government though the Council of Education.

(Note: Not all classes are taken at once, some classes may be dropped after a certain grade. For example, after 10th grade, a student is no longer by federal law to take foreign and domestic history.)
