Name of Nation (Full Title): Holy Empire of Intracircumcordei
Leading Party/Individual: Long list, the current Emperor, it varies however the individuals who go to this level of power tend to consolidate as advisors to the current leader and act as tutors to the Empire, thus any current Empire and close staff, and any former Emperor and anyone above the military rank of Lictor (or Equestrian Knight of the Holy Empire) power tends to be consolidated by the Imperial Nobles starting at viscount and up.
Population of registered citizens: registered citizens... aprox 1 billion.
Politcal System: Imperium with Socialistic tendancies and majority democratic principles.
Previous conflicts: a few, it is ongoing war. there have only been a few instances that required armed intervention.
Millitary (Basic idea): the most able and loyal gain the most trust.
Does your nation posses a Strategic Nuclear Stockpile? Yes, it isn't really a stockpile it is disributed mostly to stragetic areas, a industrial capacity to quickly produce nuclear weapons replaced having many nuclear weapons. Most systems are tacticle nukes as most urban systems are mega neutron bombs rather then megaton nuclear blast bombs. Penetrating nuclear, and lowscale nuclear are used in MIRV type systems. Space deployed systems also exist. Nuclear deterents and usefulness is seen rather then widespread nuclear wastage. ICCD prefers lowscale precision warefare rather then wasting warefare. It could produce megaton blast bombs if required but for various reasons few of these exist.
Unemployment rate: last time I checked 3%
Free elections? Complex system, effectively yes but votes are funneled through a complex electoral maize direct positions are freely voted and votes can be changed at any time.. it is a constant running vote. First level Judges(magistrates), Regional Representatives , and legislators (the legislature) is all fully representative (every vote counts), not people elect one person.. everyone who has one or more votes can vote in any determination for that body for the level. For physical systems the people with the most votes form a council that if they hold majority then if they unanimously decide then they can speed issues through (usefull for vital issues). The Imperial Nobility, is nominated by the Emperor, the emperor can grant titles. past titles in name are always kept but position administration or land rights can be removed, those of current status have the affix Imperial before their title.. the Imperial Nobility depending on rank has a certain number of votes.. they can raise or put an emperor into retirement , the emperor can also choose to resign into retirement, if either occurs they are moved to the Emperor's Council for life.
The Military has a casa militar and runs itself, with the Emperor given a vauge veto power, and technically the current emperor holds executive authority. The Officers that are dux's sit in the casa militar, there are also grand dux and arch dux.. there are also a hold of other command ranks and it is quite indepth.
The government also has a senate that effectively run the country.. praetors from the casa, and other senators and other Imperial Ministry officials all have roles.. and all have an equal vote. Now there is also the Imperial system and the Provinces.. the provincia have a parliament and a house of lords and have pronvicia commands for the Divisions of state.. to run as the administration of the Imperial Edicts (or state edicts) the ministries are divided into external services each province conducts it's own external relations within the empire via a chancellor or the like (the house of lords (lower nobles, viscounts, counts and one princes each province is a principality.) confusingly there is also duchies that are not provincial but Imperial the duchies or duchy are military divisions as well as marches which are occupied zones or new territories not yet titled principality there are some smaller units that have loose provincial status but generally due to very aged remoteness duchies and marchies are effectively territories in the empire.. directly related to the Imperium and the Emperor's powers.. and ruled through the Casa Militar and the state.. provinces are ruled loosely through the senate.. although some senators may be assigned profolios in territories they are not acctually a senator for that area as each provincia has a two senators directly assigned to it.. a govenor and a senator it is more detailed. ) The provinces Internal Services is run via the Parliament composed of a Provincial Senate or appointed advisory board of prominent political individuals, and the Members or current representatives of the legislature. for that province. The Internal Services runs the branches of the Internal division the tresury HRD and infrastructure services.
Both the Internal and External (commons and lords) jointly administer provincial essi forces.. under the guidance of the govenor general (the local senator .. the senator and gg rotate as required and generally every year at latest) The house of lords is also elected by a variety of roles.. however other branches such as regional and judicial nominations and the systems internally such as judge nomination in the bar and law society of the provincia determine some lords such as the law lords. there is also elected lords in a specific number. provincial senators and cabinet (as defined by the Imperial State) sit(have a vote) in the house of lords as well. Essentially Counts and Viscounts and the prince of a principality all sit in the house of lords and have a vote. Elected officials that control the administration also sit in the house of lords. A special council or circle for each provincia or privy council speaks with the Imperial state in matters of importance. This automatically is the President of the House of lords, the house of lords is efectively the Imperial College and a number of other individuals.. the provincial prince and other Imperials are also part of Imperial Council or Circle.
There are a number of other bodies.. houses guilds corporations etc.. since every citizens has a base pay from the empire there are special donations of state and residence allowances.. certain positions have special estates etc.. as a benifit of the position.. but generally it is the military (survival of the fitest and wisest) as in a way everyone is the Imperium.. loyalty to the Imperium is important and everyone is expected to do what is best for the Empire.. even if that means killing someone. Generally it is frowned upon to kill someone hire in rank without valid reason. In a sense there is an ongoing civil war.. as the imperium is martial law.
Universal Healthcare for all citizens? Yes also due to early child hood training, as well as required first aid in youth and advanced first aid in cadets, and combat medical in Infantry school ect.. by the time someone is an Imperial Gaurd they are essentially a nurse, and that is why they can go into the medical program directly without entry testing etc.. lictors and higher potentially have specialized training.. however doctors etc.. come from ES M (emergency services medical) social welfare is universal.. but usually only serious issues are treated, i.e there are only occupational health check ups and emergency room services. If you have a terminal illness etc... it usually doesn't get treated unless there is a need for it to be treated. I.E. you are an employee of the state. This double standard is an issue in the Empire. Individuals with valid reason to request treatment have to agree to be part of state research. I.E. they agree to have treatment universally, not specifically i.e. they don't choose their own treatment, the doctors do.
Abortion? (Leagl, illegal, or pending) The abortion issue has not been answered, effectively nothing is illegal, however anyone has the right to kill anyone else, but they bear the responsibility and consequences for the action. Often murderors are killed and the cycle continues in what is known as fueding.. random acts of violence is less common then the response to the actions.. i.e. joe kills frank in a fit of anger or confusion.. franks family attempts to kill joe.. joes family or house protects him.. then a family house feudal war breaks out.. it is not uncommon, as long as they don't attack the state no issue. Issues do arise when the family of a prominent member of state is attacked as effectively the otherside ends up having the Weight of the Imperium put upon them. Cultural opinion of abortion is various.. commoners tend to think it is ok while nobles think that it is unnatural.
Gay Marrige? There is no state recognized civili institution everyone is seen as independant.. and equal. There are a number of cultural customs but it doesn't help with taxes or laws.. private contracts can be drawn. .but since courts try cases on a case by case basis the determination of the judge determines legal writes where letters patents or writs exist. There is really not reason except within the close social units.. polygamy is somewhat common in some areas.. there is a mix of cultural practices in the empire. It doesn't have much to do with state.. and the SAJA (justice administration is not legally allowed to make marriage a legal right or institution) Instead bloodline does exist for instance if x and y have sex and have a kid.. x and y are the parrent of z.. but that is a fact in itself and does not mean anything.
if there is z2 z3 and z4 then they are siblings etc.. for rights of inheritence only as denoted in writ does it matter. for house rules lineage does matter however each house makes up its own civil law.. everyone is part of a house even if they are alone. If x and x2 have sex and are gay and don't have kids that is no issue.. if x adopts x2 then they may be the same house. .there is only one head of a house.. .. x2 could adobt x.. one must be the head. so in that respect "marriage or adoption is posible" one is the head the other ?the tail.. anyway.. so state there is no marriage... in house where most "legal" occurances happen.. law is between two houses.. adversarial but the judge can make a determination or verdict.. but can only enforce death, exile, or withdrawl of the state in the issue (stay).
Stem Cell Research? Yes it has occured... however babies wern't killed to do it. Instead natrually deceased newborns as well as embilical cord and other systems and computer and high powered EM system and molecular mappers did it.. without "harming the unborn"
Desired Location of Embassy: (Climate wise) Tropical or Subtropical...
Background of nation (Anything in general):very long story much of it is already there.. if you'd like more information there is much background.
We would like more then one embassy i.e. we would like to establish one in your capital.. but also a few others in any outlaying territories that exist.
