Theocracy of Caronis

Ministry of Foreign Affairs

As Caronis enters the international world scene, it is important that we form diplomatic relations with many countries in order to grow and form beneficial, long-lasting alliances. To this end, we have opened our capital city, Caronopolis, to foreign embassies. We hope that this will be a good decision for all parties involved.

He knocked on the door and awaited the foreigner's reply.

"Hello", said the tall man with black hair and wearing a blue suit and a black yarmelke whose name was Special Consul Michael Bloomberg as he was getting out of the doorway so the man can pass through, "Welcome to my home slash office. There are danishes and doughnuts on the inside, please help yourself."

"Ah, thank you." Gus said, stepping in. "And welcome to Caronis." Quickly glancing at the coffee, Gus then said "I am Consul Gus Napolini," and held out his hand. "As I understand it, we're here to discuss a few things about Caronian-Brittonian diplomatic relationships."

"Ah, thank you." Gus said, stepping in. "And welcome to Caronis." Quickly glancing at the coffee, Gus then said "I am Consul Gus Napolini," and held out his hand. "As I understand it, we're here to discuss a few things about Caronian-Brittonian diplomatic relationships."

"Yes, please sit down, take a rest. Now, we want to talk first about your nation's form of government.", David said, adding, "We need to know about how it is run, after all, it is the Theocracy of Caronis."

With a nod, Gus sat down and took a breath. "Caronis has had a theocratic government since our independence from the Byzantine Empire in 850 AD. It evolved from a mixture of Christianity and the ancient Greek religion. Our leaders are the Holy Elders, officially titled 'the Holy Elders of Caronis, Blessed and Glorious Instruments of the Will of God on Earth'. They are the Executive and for the most part the Legislative and Judicial Branches of our government. We believe they are blessed by God to rule, almost like they are Gods themselves. There are seven of them, and because we are ruled by a small group of people, we are technically a 'theocratic oligarchy'. Hence our Italian title of Oligarchia.

"We have a Cabinet of Ministers, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, of Science and of Internal Affairs to name a few. They serve as advisers to the Elders. The Elders are represented by the 'Holy Proxy', as the Elders never make public appearances themselves. Now, to be honest about our political system, I will tell you that there are substantially fewer political rights here than in other nations. However, our population is more than happy with our current system, as strong as our Federal Government may be.

"There are three national languages of Caronis: Greek, Italian and English. Our name 'Caronis' derives from the Greek 'karoto' meaning 'carrot'. Yes, Caronis is, in Greek, 'the Carrot Theocracy'. We are named so because, for as long as anyone can remember, orange is the color that has represented us. Orange like a carrot, for example. Italians call us 'Oligarchia di Bandiera di Arancio', or 'Oligarchy of the Orange Flag' Even though today our flag is mostly silver. A little trivia for you." Gus chuckled.

"Well, that will be important for me to know about your country if I am to be the Ambassador to Caronis. Now, you are a theocracy, are there any democratic elections in Caronis, if not on the national level then are there any on the local level."

Gus shook his head. "There are no elections here. Elders are appointed for life by other Elders. They apoint Governors for our three provinces and a Director for the Capital District, and they in turn appoint government officials in their juridstiction. As for white-collar government jobs, you can applu for those like any other job," he explained. "We think it works just fine."

Gus thought. "Well... if someone were to go out in the middle of the square and burn a Caronian flag and chant about a New Democratic Order," he began, sounding as if this had actually happened. "He would be charged in courts for slandering the Elders. We generally don't allow demonstations, speech, writing or anything against the Elders or the government. But here's the thing: In the history of Caronis, stretching back to 850 AD, I could count the anti-government demonstrations on one hand. No one does speak out against the government, unless they're not from Caronis. We don't need rights that no one would use. The citizens are happy with our government," he explained calmly.

"Okay, now by this explination, I am guessing that the Caronese government does not approve of oppositional political parties, groups, associations, clubs, or fellowships."

Message from the High Elders of Caronis

The Caronian government issues a formal apology for its sudden isolationism. An attempted coup forced us to focus more on internal matters. Several changes have happened, including the removal of Italian as a national language, the changing of our flag, and the issue of the "High Elder's Edict on Civil and Human Rights", in which several new rights were granted to the Caronian citizens, including:
Freedom of the Press, and the introduction of non-State run media
Freedom of Religion. For the first time, citizens are not required to pracitce the Caronian religion of worshipping the Seven Gods and their prophets, the Elders. "Caronianism" remains the state religion.
Freedom of Petition. Citizens now have the right to peacebly petition the government, which will still remain hereditary, and lead by the High Elders.
Same-sex marriages are now granted, and will be blessed by Caronianist priests and priestesses.
People of more than 25% Arab descent will now be allowed to become citizens, and will be allowed to live in the capital. We hope to erase centures of distrust and prejudice of Middle-Eastern people, deeply rooted since the Ottoman-Caronian War of 1522-1566.

These changes, we hope, will allow Caronis to progress properly in the world today, and allow our citizens to become part of the progressing world. Embassy applications will now, once again, be accepted.

Signed,
The High Elders of Caronis, the infallible and blessed prophets, and the Will of the Gods on Earth.
