]THE IMPERIAL REPUBLIC OF AGIRA LATINA


Motto:- Ab Ordine Libertas - From Order Comes Freedom


HISTORY

In the 2nd century BC the city of Agira rose to regional prominence as a centre for trade and enlightenment. Becoming far richer than the areas around it the city became the target for various raids by those keen to claim some of its wealth for themselves. This provoked the Agiran people to hire mercenaries to deal with the raiders.

By the beginning of the 1st Century AD the city of Agira had subdued their homeland and even raised its own citizen army. As such their success saw them get greedy and they then in turn began raiding their neighbours. Soon these raids became occupation and the what was once a city state had become a nation.

Soon they had created an Empire which featured five major regions.

1. Randazzo - Conquered in 300AD
2. Lentini - Conquered in 900AD
3. Palmero - Conquered in 1200AD
4. Ribera - Conquered in 1450AD
5. Cefalu - Conquered in 1670AD

Since then the Empire had remained fairly stable since 1678.

GOVERNMENT
[/b][/u]

The government of Agira Latina is a two tier system. The lowest tier is the Senate, this is an elected advisory body tasked with supporting the Consul.

The Consul forms the upper tier. They may rule by decree which can be, in certain circumstances, be blocked by the Senate. They are also responsible for all Foreign Affairs matters.

THE CONSUL


Plaza Agira, Consul's residence and offices.

The Consul is the Head of State and acts in an almost autocratic manner. They are free to issue any decree they wish, however it does not become law for 14 days from being signed. In this time the Senate may instigate a vote against it which should it reach 65% is enough to halt it. In times of crisis the Consul can force the Senate to vote immediately.

The Consul is elected every five years and may stand for re-election just once before having a break from the position. There is no limit to the total number of times a person can be Consul.

Traditionally the Consul belongs to no political party.

The Consul is the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces and is accompanied by two members of a ceremonial guard unit known as the Praetorian Guard. These are often drawn from noble families and serve for a period of 2 years before being rotated, as well as serving as bodyguards they also act as personnel assistants to the Consul and many have gone on to hold high political office.


Current Consul Gemini Marcia.
