Commonwealth of Pretoria
Gymanwlad Pretoria (Cymraeg)





Pretoria is a nation located in the Southern parts of Alba Karinya. Founded as the Feudal Protectorate of Pretoria in CE 1070, it was transformed into the Commonwealth in 1650, which evolved into the parliamentary democracy today. The nation has, since its foundation, enjoyed a strong economic position due to its location astride important shipping lanes in the world. This was bolstered between the 1960s and 80s by the government’s adoption of an export-led pro-growth policy, aimed at building the Commonwealth as a centre for high tech manufacturing, as well as the discovery of off-shore gas in the late 1980s. Due to its strong trade links with other fast-growing emerging economies and very low level of government debt, Pretoria emerged from the recent economic crisis almost unscathed. The consistently strong economy allows the government to construct a robust welfare state, aiming to spread the nation’s gains widely among the populace and provide a significant measure of social security to its citizens, thereby laying the foundation for even greater future growth and prosperity. The current rough consensus between the two largest parties in Parliament is best described as 'Third Way-ist' and 'Radical Centrist'.
