History

On October 3rd, 2013, the island chain known collectively as the Aagarthan Archipalego, declared their independence from their former rulers, the UK. Rather than fight them, due mainly to economic hardship, the UK acknoledged their independence. On October 12th, 2013, The Kingdom of Aagartha was formerly established as an absolute monarchy under King Lazlo IX. Unlike traditional marchies, King Lazlo II made sweeping reforms that granted citizens basic rights. Despite his reforms, civil rights are still a top political debate that is now making progress for the people. Following King Lazlo's reforms, he died of a heart disease and his crown was passed to his youngest child, Prince Johnathan Zerx, who was later known as King Christopher I. Under King Christopher the Aagarthan military was established along with the current political system. He also strengthend the economy, allowing Aagarthans to live a comfortable life.

Aagarthan Political System

It has a Judicary and Congressional branch, both elected by the people. The Next king/queen is elected by the congress which is known as the Assembly. It is then approved by the Judicary branch, but if they are displeased with the election they may veto the Assembly's vote. Then Congress must vote again, and if the same person is elected as King/Queen, then the Judicary branch's veto is overriden. The King or Queen has the powers of that of a president, but the Prime Minister, who is elected by the people, has the right to formalize foreign treaties.
