Overview of the Albanian Government

Executive Powers

The head of state and government in Albania is the President of the Republic, or simply know as the President. The President of the Republic is elected by a direct vote of the people. A simply majority is required to be elected. Should no canidate recieve a majority of the votes, the two hihest vote getters will be put in a run-off election. The highest vote getter from the the run off elections is the new President of the Republic. The President is elected to a term of four years, with no term limits.

The President has the power to guarantee observation of the constitution and all laws, act as commander in chief of the armed forces, exercise the duties of the People's Assembly of the Republic of Albania when the Assembly is not in session, and appoint the Chairman, the Prime Minister, of the Presidential Council, and the ministers that form the council.

The Prime Minister is an appointed minister of a department, and heads the discussions of the council. If something is to happen to the President, he acts as the acting President of the Republic.

Executive power rests with the Presidential Council (cabinet). The Chairman of the Council (Prime Minister) is appointed by the President as a minister (usually of foreign affairs) and as the PRime Minister. He must be confirmed as both by the People's Assembly. Ministers are nominated by the President, and the People's Assembly must give final approval of the composition of the Council. The Council is responsible for carrying out both foreign and domestic policies. It directs and controls the activities of the ministries and other state organs

President - Turhan Pasha
Presidential Council:
- State Minister of Foreign and External Affairs: Aleksander Gjon (Prime Minister)
- State Minister of the Army: Gus Evangelos
- State Minister of Trade and Commerce: Gjon Bashkim
- State Minister of Energy and Development: Bashkim Kostandin
- State Minister of Domestic Affairs: Egon Josef
- Chief Marshall of the Army: Field Marshal Saladin Plutarch

Legislative Branch

The legislative branch consists of a single house, the People's Assemby of the Republic of Albania, or just People's Assembly for short. The People's Assembly is elected by by a direct vote of the people, and any citizen is eligible to run.

The Assembly has the power to decide the direction of domestic and foreign policy, approve or amend the constitution, declare war on another state, and ratify or international treaties. All laws of the Republic must be passed by the Assembly. After a "bill" passes the assembly, it must be signed into law by the President, or he may veto it. Veto's may be overturned by a 2/3rds vote of the assembly. The President may issue "Orders of the Republic" which must be passed as bills after 60 days of their issuing to retain its authority as a law. Orders of the Republic are basically temporary laws. The People's Assembly also must confirm nominations made byt the President.

The People's Assembly has two seats, sixty-two in all, for each administrative district in Albania. There are also fourty seats, five per administrative district, from Macedonia, and fourty seats from Kosovo. So in total, the People's Assembly total's one hundred and fourty representatives. Each representative is elected for a four year term.

Make-up of Assembly by Party and country:

-- Albania (62 Seats total)

-- Macedonia (40 Seats total)

-- Kosovo (40 Seats total)

Judical Branch

The court system of Albania consists of the High Court, the appeals court, and the district court. The High Court, the highest court in Albania, consists of five justices appoint by the President to a term maxium of eight years. The appointments made by the President must be confirmed by the People's Council. The High Court interprets the constitution, determines the constitutionality of laws, resolves diffrences between local and federal authorities, and is also the higesh court of appeals. remaining courts are each divided into three jurisdictions: criminal, civil, and military. A college of three judges renders court verdicts for all courts, except the High Court.

Current Justices of the High Court:
High Judge: Carloman Vortigern
Supreme Justice #1: Hannibal Hasdrubal
Supreme Justice #2: Hadrian Confucius
Supreme Justice #3: Zarathustra Menno
Supreme Justice #4: Ovid Körbl

BTW, I (Austria-Hungary) currently have two corps of infantry sitting in your nation guarding against the Greeks. This is not an occupation force but has been sent to help protect you and Bulgaria during the war. Since Greece has yet to withdraw, the force will stay there untill the end of the war or until you ask me to withdraw them.

Thi sis perfectly accecptable by Albania, and we are glad to have the protection of the Austrians. We, at this time, do not wish for your forces to withdraw.

OOC: The Greeks haven't withdrawn from here? My country?

Located along the west coast of the Adriatic Sea, across from Italy, Albania also consists of Macedonia, Kosovo, and Montenegro.


OOC: Albania doesn't own Montenegro, just need to point that out..

Next Elections: 2010
:eek:

:eek:

OOC: Changed the Montenagro deal, and four years is how long the old player determined the Presidency.

OOC: Except that we are in the game year 1908, next election would be 1911 (assuming the president began his official term in Jan.1907)

OOC: How do my builds look? Also, I'm not sure how to calculate growth (to get production centers), so any help with that would be appreicated. And also, what about population growth? Also, with the infastructure improvements, does the mean in 1910 I'll be tech level 3?

population growth is generally 2% of 2.5% , your growth is all your points multiplied by the percentage of growth, and when you get 1 you can get a producion center

Assuming you finish transportation in 1910, you wouild be tech 3

your growth is all your points multiplied by the percentage of growth, and when you get 1 you can get a producion center

OOC: Only economies with existing production are able to expand from growth. Albania, I would recommend looking for foreign aid and investment to get you that first production center; however, I can't give you any advice as to whom you should ask, as I'm not sure about Albanian foreign relations.

Are you sure? Cause that wuodl screw over nations like Albania, and I thought you just accumulated growth until a production center was made

Are you sure? Cause that wuodl screw over nations like Albania, and I thought you just accumulated growth until a production center was made

OOC: No, I remember GB specifically stating that only nations with production centers got growth (that was in reference to Chile, which at the time only had 12 resource points). And yes, it does screw over small, poor nations, just as they were screwed over in rl. I'm sure Italy would be willing to provide a production center for Albania in exchange for Albania becoming an Italian puppet, though.

OOC: So, what kind of aid to I need to ask for to get this production center? Also, my population grows 2% each year?

OOC: Albania is basically an Austrian puppet, with close to 100,000 Austrian soldiers in country.

Anyway, Albania, you do realize that there is a war going on on your land? Currently Austrian, Bulgarian and soon German forces are trying to push Greek forces out of Southern Albania after they invaded last year.

OOC: Yes I do know that. Considering what action to take. Where is the war thread, by the way?

And I still need to know what kind of foreign aid to ask for.

see main thread for economic, military and Balkan War threads

OOC: I found the war thread, thanks.

And on the Production Centers, from what I gather, I need to exchange one resourse point for a Production Center, and then I can use the growth after that to make new ones. Also, do I get to choose what type of economy I have, like Market Economy Budget cuts or Market Economy Peacetime?

Yeah, You get to choose either one, one gives more growth but less points and vice versa.

OOC: It's not exactly an exchange of a resource point for a producion center; it's that once you build that production center, it will replace that resource point. You still have to pay 24 points to build one.

Albania's current income, if I remember correctly, is 3 resource points. Nation X gives Albania a loan of 24 points to build a production center. Once the center is done, Albania will have 2 resource points and one production center, which will give Albania either 2 points and 5% growth, or 4 points and 3% growth, depending on whether Albania opts for Budget Cuts or Normal Spending.

I don't know where you're going to get the money to build a center (maybe the Austrians?), but once you do I would recommend staying on Budget Cuts mode for a while, as that will get you more production centers faster.

OOC: So, instead of asking someone for 24 points, could I save up my own points? I know that would take awhile, but just asking.

OOC: Of course. But you're right, it would take a long time.

OOC: Ok, thanks for the help. :)

OOC: I replied to your TG.

Bulgarian Diplomats seeing that the Balkan War is over, Attempt to initiate dialogue regarding Macedonia, in particular lands whic are recognised to be Bulgarian by the Treaty of San Stefano.

It is hoped that a comprimise equel to all those involved may be achieved, given the excellent state of relations between our two nation and our continuing solidarity during mutual crisis.

Germany present Albania with a mutual defense treaty after the recent Balkan war and asks the Albanians to sign. Along with it they ask the Albanian's to sign an extension of the treaty gauranteeing Germany the right to move whatever it wants over the Berlin-Baghdad railroad(Which we own) which runs thruogh Albania. In return we will allow Albania to use the railroad.

Albania requests further details on this treaty.

OOC: It would be nice if you wrote something up that looked like a treaty. :)

OOC: Meh, not good at wrtiing up treaties, btu I guess it would look something like this..

IC:
1) Germany and Albania agree to not attack each other.
2) Germany agrees to defend Albania against an outside agressor.
3) Albania agrees to support Germany should Germany be attacked.
4) Albania gives Germany permission to send whatever it would like along the B&B railroad(we did build it and do own it.)
5) Germany will alow Albania to use the B&B line and to purchase German weaponry.

The Foreign Ministry of Albania sends this letter in reply:

Dear Sirs,

We express gratitude towards our German friends for extending their hands in this treaty. We agree with the concepts, however we wish to propose a few changes. We wish for the treaty to as follows:

-----

German - Albania Accords

We hope this is agreeable to our German friends. All of the changes Albania feels can only improve our relations. Of course, before it can go into effect, the People's Assembly of the Republic of Albania must ratify it. I can promise you that it should not be a problem, but I can make no gurantees.

Repectfully,

Turkhan Pasha
President of the Republic

Aleksander Gjon
State Minister of Foreign Affairs

Just a little note, Pasha is not the name of that guy, it is a rank given by the Ottomans, so I would suggest changing it.

On May 20th, 1910 President Roosevelt arrives by steamer from Venice in Tirana on the next leg of his European Tour. Although he can not stay in Albania for more than a day or two, Roosevelt makes a point of meeting with state officials, touring the city, and visiting a gravesite for soldiers killed in the recent war. His trip to Istanbul (the next stop) will take him through much of the territory that was fought over and upon his return to the United States, TR will make a number of references to the horrors he saw, but to the courage of the Albanian people for withstanding them.

The Albanian President Turkhan Pasha (Wich is the name, I googled it) wholeheartly welcomes the President of the United States. He, along with the Albanian Prime Minister and other key Ministers, sit down with the President to discuss relations after a tour of the city. All of Albania welcomes the President with open arms, and gracelously thank him for his visit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turhan_Pasha_P%C3%ABrmeti
Is this the guy?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasha
That explains about Pasha.

The Foreign Ministry of Albania sends this letter in reply:

Germany readily accepts the revised treaty.

Germany readily accepts the revised treaty.

Albania is very pleased that Germany accecpts the treaty proposed between our two states. An ambassador shall be appointed quickly.

Note that the US sends an additional 4 points in aid to Albania in 1911. This will unfortunately be the last package like this for for the next few years. It is hoped in Washington that the Albanian-American friendship will not lag in the same way.

Albania thanks the United States for their contribution. We understand if you can not provide durther support past 1911, and thank you graceiously for what you have provided. We can promise our relations shall not lag in anyway.

We extend our greetings to our allies, friends and neighbors. We cherish the legacy we have set in our common struggle against the greed of our enemies, through which we come into more understanding of each other.

For decades now, Bulgarian Macedonia has been under the long occupation of forigen forces, age after age we have always strived for union with our brothers and sisters. It was not until recently have we all -Albanians, Bulgarians and Ottomons- come into terms with each other and were able to put aside the sword and musket and settle things like civilised men -and again we raised arms again but as allies both equally blessed and equally meeting the challange at hand- It was in this time did our brothers in Macedonia came under the kind caretakership of Albania, though this has been recognised to be ever just than any time before, we feel that it is the time for the return of our brothers and sisters to our kingdom.

The close understanding that we have come to achieve has helped us to understand how much does that Albania depends on Macedonia Economically and militarily aswell as the fact that there are large Albanian communities in parts of Macedonia.

This is why we put forward what we believe a reasonable plan:

-Albania would offically recognise Macedonia to be part of Bulgaria (i.e.: recognition of the treaty of San Stefano), in turn Bulgaria will recognise the large Albanian comunities in Macedonia which shall remain part of Albania. However no immediate transfer of land shal occur.

Map of Albanian Ethnic prescence (Mixed areas go to Albania also):
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9c/Macedonia_ethnic.png

-Albania shall continue to recieve economic benefits (receive 2 resource points) until they are economically strong enough (until the Albanian production centre is complete) afterwards Albania shall recieve 1 point for another 10 years.

-At the same time, gradual transfer of control of Bulgarian Macedonia will be initiated which will be finalised within the next 10 years.

-Bulgaria shall be able station troops alongside Albanian Troops in Macedonia until final release.

-All Macedonian Forces serving in the Albanian Army shall be decommisioned and allowed to return home. As compensation the Bulgarian government shall present regular aid to Albania totalling of 1 point indefinately.

At thei time, the Albanian government can not agree to any treaty petaining to the situation of Macedonia. We would however, wish to invite a Bulgarian delegation to Tirana to discuss a ossibly compromise on the MAcedonian issue.

A Bulgarian Official is dispatched and arrives in Tirana within the Month, It is asked what ammendments that Albania asks, along with a show of understanding that this type of negotiation requires much deliberation. Though swiftness is a desired trait.

Albania is informed that because of the war that has just broken out between the Russia on one side and Germany, Austria-Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Finland, that Germany will likely have to use the B&B line to ship military cargo as per our agreement.

Spain requests that perhaps we may use Albania as a base of operations for observing the new war that has broken out. It would be much better to have a neutral country as a base of operations to observe than one currently at war.

Obviously Bulgaria does not reliease how vital Macedonia is to Albanias being as a state and its economy. Even with the aid you wish to pay, ultimatly we can make more in the long run if we do not cede Macedonia.

Albania would like to ask the Spanish what they mean by a "base of operations"? Do they wish to deploy troops to Albania? Albania can make a final decision after its questions are answered.

Albania also wishes to inform the Spanish that we wish to begin dimplomatic relations, in an attempt to stregthen our ties and become closer as nations. We wish to dicuss a possible embassy exchange between our two nations.

Obviously Bulgaria does not reliease how vital Macedonia is to Albanias being as a state and its economy. Even with the aid you wish to pay, ultimatly we can make more in the long run if we do not cede Macedonia.

We are regretted that you have decided so, we woud have rathered a peaceful approach be achieved with our good neighbor for whom many of our countrymen have perished in honour of our alliance.

For now we will leave the matter, as we are now occupied in repaying the protection our close allies have given us.

With that said, the Delegate returns home with a sense of irritation over a wasted journey; "Why did they have me come over if they were going to break off like that?!"

Spain would be more than willing to bring an embassy crew to Albania in order to further relations. However, it gives the note that it has no interest in getting into direct alignment in Balkan politics. Spain has no research into the current issues and problems.

The answer to Albania comes in a list of names. Most of the Spanish names are of young Lt, Majors, and a handful of Brigadier Generals who have been assigned to a new government organization called simply, Military Research. THe note followed.

No military officials, except private guards and engineers would be assigned to this base of operations. The officers are simply observers, and no SPanish units would be apart of the operation. Spain would not spare the units anyways, and would hope the beligerant powers would not attempt to kill or capture simple observers from a neutral nation anyways. We hope this answers Albanian questions fully, and that we may work together. IN fact if Albanian observers wish to work with the Military Research operations they may, for new ideas and thoughts are always welcome.

There was no mention of not being peaceful. We simply stated our position. We were intersetted in discussing it more, however it was Bulgaria that left prematurely. We are vconcenred with the quick withdrawl of the Bulgarian dimplomat and there mention of rather had a peaceful approach. IS Bulgaria plannong a war?

We are very pleased with the Spanish choice to exchange embassies.

The Spanish observes will be allowed to use ALbania as a base of operations, and are informed Albania wishes to particaptae in the observations.

That will be fully acceptable.

July 1911:

Spanish trucks filled with personell make their arrival in the Albanian frontier. Dozens of trucks with engineering tools, officer's vehicles, and medical personell set up their base of operations. Supplies are pulled from several trucks, and dozens of telephone lines are set up so that communication back with SPain can be made. Only a few have rifles, most of the officers have side arms for personel protection. A small encampment of around 200 men starts to spring.

There was no mention of not being peaceful. We simply stated our position. We were intersetted in discussing it more, however it was Bulgaria that left prematurely. We are vconcenred with the quick withdrawl of the Bulgarian dimplomat and there mention of rather had a peaceful approach. IS Bulgaria plannong a war?

The Bulgarian Forigen Ministry feels that there has been a misunderstanding as the Albanian Response was recieved as a definite "No" and a quick withdrawl by the Albanian Government from talk by the now reprimended Bulgarian Delegate.

We humbly apologise for this misunderstanding and another Delgate will be sent to Tirana. In addition, An official statement is announced promising that Macedonia will be either transfered peacefully or not transfered at all and that peaceful dialogue shall always be the mode of settlement of land disputes (as according with the Hague conventions) and communication with the Albanian Government in honour of our common struggles.

We welcome any Albanian ammendments to our current proposed resolution to allow Bulgaria to realise the value of Macedonia.

An informal apology is sent to Turhan Pasha apologising for the mishap as it being one of the mismanagements that occur when a nation is at a state of war, a quiet hope is made that Albania never knows again the pains such state of business makes.

As a further gesture, the Kingdom offers the Albanian Military to send observers to study the current conflict with Russian troops and gain insight from both sides strategy in hopes to bolster the performance of your armed forces.
