The Principality of Luuxland (šah Luuxland Prinssdom)[WIP]
« on: August 29, 2018, 10:14:20 AM »

Motto: "Furh Prinss n Pryde !" / "For Prince and Pride!"
National Anthem:- Road Goes Ever On

BACKGROUND

The Ancestors of the Luuxlander people were originally from the Northern reaches of the Ecclesiastical State of Christ. During a violent civil war in the 11th century, the Anabaptist Christians fled the region en masse to avoid the violent persecution which they suffered in their homeland. Forced for near a century to exist in a wide spread diaspora, they existed in small secluded communities around the world until the year 1318 when a small group of settlers landed on the Southern coast of Aranye. Once there, the diaspora slowly began to migrate into the region, creating an issue for the native states in the area.

The colony was peacefully annexed by Three local powers headed by native warlords. The Luuxlanders were initially welcomed with reservation by the existing peoples in the region as they from across the world. But, as their population increased over the course of the 7 centuries following their arrival they became a threat to their overlords. All of which began a campaign of systemic oppression of the Luuxlander population. When a great economic crash occurred in 2008 it rocked the region and caused civil strife in the region of the nations. During the ensuing "Great Recession" period, the Luuxlanders began a bid for independence across all three countries. Becoming violent for the first time in 2016.

On August 26, 2018 Luuxland achieved full Independence from all of it's former rulers. The hero of the Luuxlander Secessionist Movement was a young man named Leuk Riahtasun. Having become a Living national symbol, the 24 year old was crowned Prince of the new nation. Rahbin MakRyle deccided that the new nation should abandon its  historical name of Sehrashee and name itself after its new prince.

Luuxland is a Tanistral Constitutional Monarchy (Also called a Leuken Monarchy),  It's National Government has Final authority vested almost entirely in the Prince, who serves as the Head of State, Head of Government, And Supreme Judge. The Prince's powers are only curved by the "Advisory": a semi-parliment which is divided into 2 houses. The Upper-House is made up entirely of Members of the Royal Family or Close friends of Past or Sitting Monarchs (each Monarch can name two). The Lower-House is made up of elected representatives from each of Luuxland's provinces. The Advisory has no Legislative, Executive, or Judicial power not delegated to it by the monarch, except for two crucial powers:
  • Election of the Tanist
  • Vote of Abdication-by-Force
The Advisory is the only entity which may choose the "Tanist", which is the Heir-Apparent to the sitting Monarch. The only requirement of Tanist is that they must be a member of the Royal Family.
The Advisoy may also conduct a 'Vote of Abdication-by-Force' if the Monarch is seen as violating the Constitutional Rights of the Citizenry, or has reliable information showing a monarch's extremely low popularity among the populous.

Local Governments within the Provinces function as Republics, and each operates with their own quirks.

THE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT PT. 1
The National Government

The National Government is divided into two "Arms of the Prince": the Civil and the Martial. "The Plantation" as it is refereed to colloquially is the Office of the Prince, which stands above those Arms as the supreme politico-martial authority.



The Plantation/ šah planteshuhn

The Plantation is, for the most part, Interchangeable with the Monarch itself, and is the Luuxlander version of "The Throne".  However, even though The Prince is the only acting member of the Plantation, the Immediate Royal Family (IRF) is also considered a part of it. (Especially since most of them live there!)  People who marry into the Royal family either by daughter or son, must surrender all personal assets to the Treasury at the time of engagement to be sold to be auctioned to the private sector, or granted to charities. Members of the family who exit the IRF (becoming 3rd-cousin or further from the Sitting Prince through a death or abdication) are granted a 1,000,000L purse, and no longer have access to the Royal Assets. which include (but are not limited to) the Plantation itself, and the Royal homes scattered throughout the country, and the Royal Purse (which is the suggested Royal Budget for living expenses (and moderate luxuries)).



The Advisory/ šah Avyshree

The Advisory is the highest ranking body of the Civil Arm of the Prince. The Advisory's job is to oversee the daily domestic and foreign functioning of the civilian government. The Advisory is the de facto legistlative branch of the government, but they lack the authority to implement any of their decisions without consulting the Prince. However, the Arch-Advisor or Tanist may sign the bill or executive order into law in place of the Prince. If there is no response from the Royal Office for 14 days, the law is considered 'Passed-by-Trust'.  This system however, may be interrupted or discontinued by the Prince himself at anytime without warning. Laws originating from the Prince himself do not have to be supported by the Advisory, and the Prince may pass and overturn laws at will. However, the Prince will usually leave the Advisory to function in his name with exception of big-name issues or those of personal interest.

The Advisory creates and oversees lesser body's of government in the Prince's name. This includes Embassies. Treasury, Judiciaries, National Parks, and etc...


Constitutionally the Advisory has three functions:
  • The Advisory votes and selects the Arch-Advisor from among their ranks who acts as Chairman.
  • The Advisory votes and selects the Tanist from members of the Immediate Royal family. The Tanist is the heir to the throne.
  • The Advisory may vote (If the sitting Prince violates the constitution, or Has national  Approval ratings lower than 25%) to Force Abdication of the throne to the Tanist.


The Advisory is made up of two 'houses': The Upper-House and the Lower-House. The Upper-House is made up entirely of member of the Immediate Royal Family (IRF) which are 2nd-Cousins and Closer to the Sitting Prince. A Prince may also grant 2 persons who are not among the IRF lifelong seats in the Upper-House. The Advisors of the Lower-House are elected by popular vote in each province. A Lower-Advisor's term length and any limits to the number of terms are left up to the Provincial governments.

Lower-House, and Upper-House Advisors are equals in political power, the only difference is their methods of acquiring office. This System carefully balances representation of the masses, with the expediency, benefits, and long-term stability of Monarchy.  The system also limits political ambition and corruption by investing all real power in the Monarch. Members of the Royal family are the only ones with ability to sit in the Upper-House, and by extensions are the only ones to whom the Highest office is available.



The Martial Arm of The Prince/ šah Slohgahners

The Martial Arm is divided into 3 'sub-arms': The Luuxland National Police Department (LNPD). The Royal Army (LRA) and the Royal Navy (LRN).

These All are  branches of the military. The LRA is concerned with all military operations on land and in air. The LRA's main job is foreign operations, but they can and do support the LNPD. The LNPD are concerned with law enforcement on Land, water, and Air. The LNPD also, as the largest branch, maintains the National Defenses,and deals with any humanitarian crisis; they have no authority to perform operations in foreign lands. The LRN is currently Inactive due to a lack of ships, but  their main job will be the defense of Luuxlander oceanic waters.

All three were established on August 29, 2018.
