Free Autonomous Territory of Jugland



Government Type: Devolved autonomy under an elected executive system
Population: 5,196,000
Capital City: Albrektberg
Demonym: Juglander
Ethnicity: Juglander 94%; Other Coft Aranye ethnicities 5%; Others 1%
Official languages: Csletian and Mktvartvelian
Religions: no official religion



Background

Jugland is an associated state within the Unitary State of Mktvartvelo. Originally founded by West Coft Aranye settlers, Jugland is a metropolitan area and region on the Gulf of Safraen.

Under the Agreement of Azavrelia, Jugland is a special administrative region within the Unitary State of Mktvartvelo. Jugland has its own constitution, adopted in 2008 and amended in 2019, and wide self-autonomy in many areas. Basic Laws passed in Mktvartvelo's parliament have constitutional status in both Mktvartvelo and Jugland, although the latter can be granted exception regarding a basic law, although that both sides agree - if not, any basic law becomes law in Jugland's territory. However, the Unitary State of Mktvartvelo acts on behalf of Jugland in foreign policy and defense issues, and Jugland has no armed forces.

Most notoriously, Jugland has a strict separation between church and state, and Mktvartvelo's religious and inheriance legislation do not apply in the territory of the Free Autonomous Territory of Jugland.

All Juglander residents were granted Mktvartvelian citizenship, and as such, there is no Juglander citizenship. However, Jugland's authorities have the right to issue its own identity cards, which are granted according Jugland's legislation, and it does not operate under Mktvartvelo's own citizenship legislation. For Juglander citizens born after 2010, however, Mktvartvelian citizeship legislation applies. Only Mktvartvelian citizens can vote in elections to the parliament, although Juglander authorities are granted the right to have their own electoral law for local and regional elections.

Administrative divisions



The name "Jugland" derives from "southern lands", as it was the name that settlers and sailors from the Azure Peninsula originally gave to the lands on the shore of the Gulf of Safraen. More than two thousands ago, Albrekt the Great arrived to the Gulf of Safraen from the west Coft Aranye, founding the first permanent settlement. The main town was latter renamed in his honour as Albrektberg.



Before the Agreement of Azavrelia was divided between the Albrektberg metropolitan region and six prefectures. In 2004, the administrative division was reformed and Jugland is currently divided in eighteen districts, each of which has its own local council. Until the Treaty of Shetankhmebumi, signed in 1951, the region of Nordansk-Hokubuchiiki was also part of Jugland, but it became part of the Unitary State of Mktvartvelo four years later.

Albrektberg is considered the capital city of Jugland, although it does not have such status officially. It is considered that Jugland is formed by four towns, of which Albrektberg is the largest one. Albrektberg comprises thirteen of Jugland's districts, and a majority of the population lives in Albrektberg metropolitan area. The other three towns are Midtenstadt, Nordheim and Sandberg.

Albrektberg metropolitan area, or Greater Albrektberg as it is sometimes called, lacks a metropolitan government for its administration, which is divided between Jugland's districts, which sometimes include area outside its metropolitan area, particularly suburban areas. The management of most of the services of the city are divided between the districts and the Governorate -Jugland's executive government-, complicating the operation of the city as a single entity, as the Governoratae Council is elected by voters of every Jugland's district, including from those towns outside Albrektberg. The highest authority in Albrektberg is considered to be the Governor of the Albrektberg Metropolotian Region, an unelected delegate appointed by the Governorate Council.

Each district, in Albrektberg and elsewhere, elects their own council, which elects a mayor. Besides heading the local government, every mayor is also a member of the Senate, the Upper House of the territory.

Politics of Jugland


Since 2004, Jugland is a special administrative region within the Unitary State of Mktvartvelo. The Free Autonomous Territory of Jugland has its own government and parliament. Mktvartvelo's government has not right to veto legislation passed by Jugland's parliament or government, although any law passed by Jugland's parliament may be reviewed by Mktvartvelo's Supreme Court may rule Juglander legislation unconstitutional and immediately suspend such legislation, without right to appeal by Juglander authorities.

The Free Autonomous Territory of Jugland has its own administrative divisions and electoral law, which differ from Mktvartvelo's. Many electoral and suffrage restrictions in Mktvartvelo's legislation do not exist in Jugland. Since 2010, despite some shortcomings, Jugland has consistently scored higher than the rest of Mktvartvelo in most international democratic index or rankings.

Unlike the Unitary State of Mktvartvelo, Jugland has not official or recognized state religion, and it has a stricter separation between state and church, with no restrictions on freedom of religion or speech.

Under Jugland's constitution, education is guaranted as a basic right, and there is no tuition fees for both state and private schools. The healthcare system, on the other hand, is organized under a government-run publicly funded universal healthcare system, which combines public and private healthcare providers.

The Free Autonomous Territory of Jugland has no armed forces, although it has its own law enforcement force, known as the State Guard. The Chairman of the State Guard is appointed by Jugland's Governorate, and he is under the authority of the Secretary for Civic Protection. However, the Chairman of the State Guard may be suspended or dismissed by Mktvartvelo's Ministry of Public Order and Security, if it considers that he has overreach on his functions or violate national legislation.




The State Governorate

The State Governorate, sometimes simply called the Governorate, is Jugland's government. It is composed by nine elected members -known as Secretaries-, and it hods the executive power over the Free Autonomous Territory of Jugland. Since 2010, Jugland's Governorate serves as a collective head of state. However, one of the Secretaries also serves as President of the Governorate, who carries the main function to represent the whole government in institutional meetings or events, or sign into law Governorate's decrees or legislation passed by the Legislative Assembly. Despite this, the President of the Governorate has no power above and beyond the other eight Secretaries. Usually, the most senior Secretary serves as President, while the Vice President of the Governorate is often the second or third most senior member of the government (as it has been established that the President and Vice President can not be from the same political party).

Besides their function as collective government, every Governorate's Secretary heads a Department, effectively operating as the head of a ministry. However, Secretaries are not only responsible for their own department, but also for the business of their colleagues' departments, as well as for the conduct of the government as a whole. Every decision of the government must have been approved by consensus of all the members of the Governorate.

The Governorate officially operates as both an executive and legislative power, having the power to send back bills passed by the Legislative Assembly with their own proposed amends, or even veto legislation passed by the Legislative Assembly (this, however, can be overruled if 2/3 of the Legislative Assembly votes for the original bill in second vote). However, these powers are rarely used as most of the members of the Governorate are directly elected or the largest political parties are usually represented in the Governorate. Usually, the most senior member of the Governorate


The Legislative Assembly

The Legislative Assembly is Jugland's unicameral parliament (although sharing some legislative powers with the State Governorate), which 101 members are elected for a 4-year term.

The members of the Legislative Assembly are officially known as "Member of the Parliament". If a MP from an individual constituency resigns or dies, a by-election is called (unless there are fewer than three months before the next election). If the seat of a MP from the party-based nationwide constituency is vacant, he is replaced by his or her substitute of the same political party for the rest of the term instead.


Elections

Jugland's Constitution establishes that electoral districts can not have more than 50,000 voters.  The electoral law operates under a mixed system, including individual constituencies and a statewide party list under a proportional system. There are fewer restrictions on elections and campaigning than in the rest of Mktvartvelo, including the existance of parliamentary groups in the Legislative Assembly.

Elections in Jugland operate in four levels: election to mayor and the local government in each of Jugland's 18 districts; direct election for 7 of the 9 Governorate's Secretaries; election for candidates to the Legislative Assembly in individual constituencies (in two rounds); and election for candidates to the Legislative Assembly in the statewide party lists.

Six of the nine directly elected Secretaries of the Governorate are elected in special territorial districts (in which controversially districts outside Albrektberkg are heavily overrepresented, as while Albrektberg metropolitan area has more than 60% of Jugland's population, they only elect one of those other Secretaries). The other three Secretaries are elected by ethnic-based constituencies for the three largest ethnic groups in the country. However, the Legislative Assembly has the power to elect indirectly members of the Governorate until the next election in case there was a vacant Secretary.

Demographics of Jugland


As consequence of successive waves of migration, military invasions, colonial settlements, and changes in sovereignty have turned Jugland into a multi-ethnic and multi-religious society. The largest ethnic group are the Csletians, who are considered an interethnic group originated by the blend of natives from the Gulf of Safraen and northwestern settlers. Mktvartvelians and Abydonians also established in Jugland through history and, particularly after 15th century, a large number of Ardian settlers as well. The 1949 agreement, in which the principle of shared sovereignty over Jugland for the next fifty years was established, as well as the peaceful annexation by the Unitary State of Mtkvartvelo of the Prefecture of Kitaken (nowadays part of the province of Chrdiloetilisi-Nordansk), influenced a reduction of ethnic East Ardians and an increase of immigration for Mktvartvelo. In recent decades, there was also an increasing immigration from Mid-Aranye countries.

Others25,000




Religion in Jugland

The oldest Simartlean temple in Jugland is the Temple of Dideba Gamarjvebistvis, which was built in the 5th century, following an invasion by Mktvartvelian forces. Christianity in Jugland has been attested since the 6th century. However, the Catholic Church declined to a minority status already in the early 17th century. Ethnicity and religion are often strongly associated. For example, most ethnic Cslatians are followers of the People's Church of Jugland, a Christian denomination established in the 16th century.

Economy of Jugland



Although under the sovereignty of the Unitary State of Mktvartvelo, the Free Territory of Jugland has a high degree of self-autonomy on economic affairs, including finance regulation, bugdet, and taxation, while a much limited autonomy regarding trade and immigration. Jugland can be considered a highly developed market economy, based historically on trade around the Gulf of Safraen as well as trade with the Ardian metropolis. Jugland's GDP per capita has remained slightly higher than mainland Mktvartvelo.

Jugland's economy, because of its key geographic location, is mainly based on a well-developed service serctor, especially commerce, tourism, banking, and trading. Its economy is regarded as free and business-friendly. Since 2004, commerce with the rest of Mktvartvelo has considerably increased. Jugland has retained its own currency, although under the supervision the Central Bank of Mktvartvelo since 2008. Officially, Jugland has not a central bank, although the Juglander Financial Authority, a semi-independent public body established to regulate banks and manage exchange funds, reviews the territory's monetary policy, while the local currency is issued by the State Governorate and four local banks.

Since the 2000s, Jugland has attracted a large amount of foreign investment, as a result of its low tax rates, advanced infraestructures and polical stability. There are thousands of foreign companies based in Jugland. In the 1980s, about 30% of Jugland's workforce was made up of non-Juglanders. However, this declined since the late 1990s, as there was a brief but important migration flow toward Daito, and Jugland immigration policy is highly restricted by the Mktvartvelo's Ministry of Immigration Policy. The amount of ethnic Mktvartvelians in Jugland have considerably increased since the 2000s, although they still remain below 20% of Jugland's total population.

Since 2006, there is free movement between Jugland and the rest of Mktvartvelo, and Mktvartvelo's currency is in legal use in the Free Territory of Jugland. Despite Jugland's self-autonomy in financial matters, Juglander economy is effectively in a single-market with mainland Mktvartvelo, and the Juglander government has very restricted competences on trade policy. The size and influence of Mktvartvelian companies in Jugland has considerably increased since the 2010s, although the 2008 Financial Pact, ammended in 2013, restrict the operations of Mktvartvelian citizens and companies in Jugland, particularly on taxation.

In recent years, the country has been described as an increasingly popular tax haven in northern Coft Aranye due to the low tax taxation. Jugland has a two-level taxation: for residents and non-residents. Residents have an effectively flat tax rate of 10%. However, legal is residency is only available for Mktvartvelian citizens if they are descendent of those who had a residency in Jugland before 2004, or after ten years living in Jugland. Companies that are based in Mktvartvarvelo or that have a considerably commercial activity in the mainland can apply for resident status but they have an effective corporate tax of 16% (barely the same as Mktvartvelo's corporate tax), unlike local companies that would have a corporate tax of 10%.

On the other hand, non-resident based companies are completely free from all local taxation. The Juglander Financial Authority offers international companies a legislation that is suitable for holdings, investment accounts, or trading purposes. Companies can easily be paired with an offshore bank acount whether its a local or overseas bank. Companies established in Jugland have the right of remaining anonymous in their dealings. Under aan international trust, companies have the power to own property and operate in anoymity. At the same time, individuals who benefit directly from a company can also choose not to be named as shareholders of the company. The individual owner is therefore protected from dealing directly with issues affecting the company. The responsibility of running business operations is solely left to the directors of the company.

This legislation has allowed Albrektberg Stock Exchange one of the most increasing stock exchanges of the region.

Culture: Sports in Jugland



Various sporting events and disciplines are popular in Jugland. These include soccer, cycling, tennis, basketball, and, to a lesser degree, handball, futsal, lacrosse, hockey, and badminton. Soccer is the most popular sport in terms of active membership. It is, along basketball, one of the most practiced sports in the school system.

In an international level, Jugland has had, in most sport events, their own national team never at least since 1949. As a consequence, most Jugland sportpeople do not participate in the Mktvartvelo's national teams. However, Juglander sportpeople participate in many sports events in Mktvartvelo, and vice versa, and both Juglander and Mktvartvelo domestic competitions have a considerable amount of players from both territories.

Soccer, basketball, netsball, Juglander baseball, handball, and futsal all have competitive professional leagues. Rugby is not a popular sport in Jugland, although it has experienced a surge in interest as consequence of Jugland participation for first time in the Rugby World Cup in 2021.



Team sports

The soccer professional system was professionalized in the 1960s. The oldest football tournament is the Juglander Cup, consisting in a knockout tournament of currently 16 teams, which is usually held from December to May. The Elite Football League, the men's professional soccer league, was established in 1964, consisting in 8 clubs. It starts on November and ends in June.

The First Division, women's soccer top division, was established in 1999. The Women's Superleague is played between the top 6 clubs of the First Division. The current champion of the Women's Superleague is Albrektberg FD.

The National Basketball League, also known BLJD, is played by 10 clubs, and which winner is decided through a playoff system. The Basketball SuperCup is played in half-season by the top eight teams in the National Baskelball League. The current champion of the Basketball SuperCup is Nordheim who defeated Anlebaek in the final match held on May 2021.

The Women's Basketball League (KLB) is played by 8 clubs, with the same format than men's basketball. The Women's Basketball Cup, or KLB Cup, is played in half season by the top four clubs in the regular season. The current champion is Gjengfasthet Albrektberg.

The professional men's league in handball and futsal consist currently in 8 clubs, with the women's top league of those sports currently consisting in 5 clubs.

Both men's and women's professional in Juglander baseball consist in 8 clubs. Unlike other team sports in Jugland, Juglander baseball is barely semi-professional, with clubs based in the district that they represent. Despite this, baseball have a low but faithful following in Jugland.



Other sport events

Before 2014, there were several tennis tournament, both national and continental, in Jugland. The oldest tennis tournament in Jugland is the Juglander Open, a national tourmanent held annually in which participate the men's and women's tennis players from Jugland.

On June 2021, it was held from first time the Kvinne Cup, an international tennis tournament, which was won by Tytorian Michelle Kingman.


There are several cycling events, including the Juglander National Championships, in which are decided the annual national champions in men's and women's cycling. The winners of the race will wear in their maillot the colours of the Juglander flag in any other cycling events they participate for the rest of the season.

The most important cycling race is the Tour of Jugland which was held uninterruptedly since 1945. The riders with most wins, four, are Heimarr Henriksen (1973, 1974, 1977, and 1978) and Gottwyn Vinter (1982, 1985, 1986, 1987).

In women's cycling, the Juglander Ladies Tour, usually held in Emrta, was held from 1991 to 2013. Thora Bjerknes had the race record with three wins in 2009, 2011, and 2013.
