Absurrania

Introduction

The greater Islamic republic of Absurrania began to be discussed by the Pauldustllahani government at the start of the Talion Unions civil war when the government of Absurrania reinforced its border with a million troops along its border with the Talion Union and the Former soviet union along with the declaration that the border with the Talion union was a red site. Although having always shared a border with the Imperial Kingdom it was not until recent international events occurred that brought need for discourse between the Imperial kingdom and the Islamic Republic. The Republics changes its international policy almost as quickly as the borders surrounding the Republic change. One notable change in policy has been the republics changes from strict neutrality to a more interventionist power, which has led to conflicts with some of the Imperial Kingdoms policies.

Basic information

The Islamic republic currently has a population of approximately 2.149 billion however, it worth mentioning that the republic like most nations in continue to enjoy steady population growth, via either immigration or older methods which have been practiced by our ancestors since the dawn of time.

The Islamic republic rests on the continent of Ixnay and currently shares a border with the Imperial Kingdom of Pauldustllah, The Talion Union, The Federal Republic of Zimatis, The State of Pel, Muskokian Pel, North Phoenicia, and maintains a very small border with theMalaysiian territory of Rellesia The Republic maintains a national government with the President and the congress being elected by popular vote. The national government of the Republic conducts its business in the capital of Absur City and has maintained an average civil rights track record and a superb record of political freedoms. The government maintains a tax rate of 73%

The Islamic republic’s GDP is approximately 54 Trillion NSD and growing at a steady ratebut, it is classified as a small economy in the region due to the fact that its GDP is less than the Region average of 118 Trillion NSD. What is lacks in size it makes up for in strength with its economic classification of strong and with the republics location in the region they still bring an average GDP per capita of $25, 000. The Republics national currency is the Absurranian Gollar.

The Dominant religion of the Islamic republic is Sunni Islam of which around 73% of the population states they are affiliated with that religion. While other religions are practiced in the Islamic republic, Sunni Islam maintains dominance and its presence can be felt in the national legislation.

Goverment and Politics

The Islamic republic has a democratically elected President and Congress with the President acting as the chief executive power and congress as the chief legislative power, like most systems Congress proposes laws and each congress person votes according to the majority opinion of his or her constituents. The body of congress has 280 members of which 4 main parties control the majority with only 7 seats held by independent parties. Little is known about the 4 main parties and of the 7 independents we know even less. However, this is what is known of the 4 main parties

Moderate party

Is currently the majority power in congress with 107 seats and is considered the moderate center wing of congress

Liberal Republic party

The second largest party in congress with 74 seats and represents the left wing of the party

Conservative party

Holds 67 seats and is the right wing party

National Federalists of Tomorrow

Currently maintains 30 seats in congress and is and independent party.

The President maintains many powers that are normally considered the purview of a congress. Such as the power to declare war, levy taxes and choose a successor. Currently the sitting President is Jabur IL Ina who has led Absurrania through some very turbulent times as regional tensions has been a constant issues in recent times.

With the Republics records of superb political freedoms and a civil rights record that is consistent with global averages the government appears to maintain adequate safeguards for people to express themselves and at the time of this documents creation we have no reason to suspect vote manipulation, intimidation of voters or any fraud whatsoever when it comes to elections on the republics national governments.

Government budget

The Islamic republic maintains a tax rate of 73% of incomes with specialty taxes on pork (12%), alcohol (35%) and tobacco (59%) and generates tax revenues of at least 39 trillion NSD a year of which 26% of the funding going to law and order and 22.4% to education. We estimate that the Islamic republic employs at least 44 million full time national government employees with an average yearly payroll of 1.3 trillion NSD. At this time we are unaware of any other taxes on the books to generating revenue for the national government of the republic

Military

The Islamic republic currently maintains 5.2 million soldiers on active duty soldiers with another 4.9 million in reserves with an annual budget of aproximently 4.3 trillion NSD yearly although the Islamic republic has stated publically that they are expanding their military forces and due to the Republics annexation of overseas territories are undergoing a period of force rebalancing to ensure their continued control over their holdings. While we suspect a growing ground combat element, we believe that the republics navy will receive the bulk of manpower expansion as it is vital to the republics dominion over its overseas territories.

The Armed forces of Absurrania consist of 6 different branches; the AFA maintains three classifications for the status of its troops, Active duty, off duty and reserve. Active duty troops are considered active duty when those troops are on duty and serving in their military role. Off duty troops are active members of the armed forces who are on leave and are not on duty. These troops would be at home or place of domicile working a job of going to school stimulatingeconomic activity. The Reserve classification is left for those soldiers who are trained to perform their duties but and only called upon during times of need.

Notable Military personnel include General Commander Hassan Nikov, the highest ranking officer in Absurrania, Defense general Robert Jolef the commander of the national defense force. Commander of the Army, General Ahmed Yusuf. General Irka Markoob, Commander of the Marine forces. Naval commander Maley Lahib, Air commander Campar Rikar, and Special Forces commander Buhraf Jendal.

Current Deployments involve the troops on the Absur-talion Border, New Absurrania, The Strait Isle, East Istor, and South La joya; the later three territories were acquired when the Islamic Republic assisted the State of Arcerion in the invasion of Cante

The average soldier is equipped with the Type one Rifle (T-1R) the Type 2 Carbine (T-2CR), or the model 1 bull pup rifle (M1-BR) and the Islamic Republics Main battle tank is the Type-100MBT.

Foreign Policies

We believe the Islamic republic maintains expansionary policy in regards to the acquisition of new territories, this is due to the fact that they have bought land in the past (IE the Gouda territories and new Absurrania) and through force (Strait isle, east istor, and South la joya)

The Islamic Republic is also fiercely protective of its territorial integrity, the evidence of which is the continue mobilization of soldiers to the Islamic Republic borders during times of increased regional tensions, the short but violent campaign to reassert dominion over the breakawayWestern Desert Province, the current ongoing fight to quell the rebellion in New Absurrania, and the continued cross border violence on the Absur-Tallion border. It is our opinion at this time that any attempt to violate the territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic even accidental could lead to armed conflict.

Absurrania is very pro international trade, although recent disputes with the Imperial republic of Kistan have led to the cancelation of trade between the two nations, we believe that the current diplomatic row between the two nations will be resolved as Kistan realizes that its current trade policies will marginalize it as international trade continues to gain steam. The pro trade policies of the Islamic republic allow it to gain access to new sources of capital as funds from the export and import of goods as well as the access to market capitalization via the Farpoint Stock Exchange (FPSE).

The Islamic Republic addresses any short comings it might have in it defenses via mutual defense treaties. This was done via the now defunct Ixnay Federal Alliance, the defunct Pact of Steel, and its current Mutual defense treaty with the Federal Republic of Urcea.

Crime and law Enforcement

Known Rebellious factions

Western desert Province rebels

A rebel faction that split from the Islamic Republic, The WDP was defeated militarily however, it is unknown at this time if any remain and how many. The Bureau of Friendship will coordinate with the Absurranian intelligence apparatus to get more solid intelligence on this group

New Absurrania rebel group

A group of hold outs from when the islands were under control of Kistan,

Economy

The Economy of Abusrrania provides a growing economy for its citizens to find a way to better their lives although is hampered by an unemployment rate of 8.8% which prevents the nation of unlocking its full economic potential. While government spending currently outpaces it’s income by 71 billion NSD a year the Islamic Republic is maintains the highest of the Pauldustllahani rating agencies with a bond rating of A+ for sovereign bonds which although they are wary of the high unemployment of the Republic, The ratings agencies have no doubt of Absurranias ability to pay any debt obligations it incurs due to its high tax rate and a current healthy trade surplus. The Islamic Republic enjoys low inflation with Inflation currently at approximately 2.19% and a relatively weak currency with the NSD exchanging at around 2.45 Absurranian Gollars. The Islamic Republic maintains trade relations with the Imperial Kingdom of Pauldustllah, The United federation of Prizyetsa, The Federal Republic of Zimatis, The Federal Republic of Palmeria, and the Imperial Republic of Kistan. Companies in the Islamic Republic are allowed to be hosted on the Farpoint Stock Exchange for market capitalization 10 of which currently do so. The Islamic Republic and the Imperial Kingdom are currently engaged in talks regarding trade tariff rates and propose a super corridor which would increase the flow of exports from both countries through ease of use and reduced tariffs. Although talks have not been completed the general sentiment is that the project will be approved eventually.

Things that affect relations with the Imperial Kingdom
Although originally aligning itself with the Former nation of the Sovietyeto which have led to times of increased tensions with the Imperial Kingdom, since the collapse of the Pact of steel and the Sovietyeto Absurrania has increasingly become an important partner with the Imperial Kingdom.

The common threat of unrest in the Talion Union has created a situation where both the Imperial Kingdom and the Islamic Republic have been working together to ensure stability on the borders with both government enforcing the rule of law on an otherwise lawless border Both the Islamic Republic and the Imperial Kingdom conduct a large volume of trade with each other as both the shared border and shared stability between the two nations ensure a safe bet for trade between the nations.Although the past of the Absurranian involvement with the former Sovietyeto has led to issues between the Islamic Republic and the Imperial Kingdom, Diplomatic relations have been warming, as seen with the ongoing Talion Union conference in Kirav
