The Kingdom of Boakstia History -Early Classical era- 4th Century BC Boakstia is founded as a city state under the same name by a now famed hero only known as The Great One. The city state slowly begins to grow across the millennia. -12th August 1546- The nation covers a vast area and the original city state is renamed Malko'tak, now serving as the national capital. The governing body meets in Malko'tak and writes the constitution outlining Boakstia as a constitutional monarchy, with the then Prime Minister, Sahalti Darakam't, being elected as the first king - Sahalti I. To this day, August 12th serves as a national holiday. -The modern age In recent years, Boakstia has been a founding member of the Pacifican Union, and is at the forefront of technological advances and civil rights. It aims to keep relations with its neighbours strong and plans to forge new alliances with new members of the Union when they join. Culture People from Boakstia are called Boaks, and hold their cultural heritage deep in their hearts. The date of their nation's formation, 12th August, is a public holiday with music and dancing flooding the streets in celebration. The culture is a huge mesh of ethnicities and religions, making Boakstia a melting pot for culture and ideas. Religious holidays like Christmas and Eid are respected by all, and can be celebrated by everyone, as the benevolent king respects all faiths and beliefs within his nation's borders. Military Boakstia's military is governed by the Boak Military Unit, or BMU. Currently, the army stands 3 million servicemen and women strong, and recruitment is high without the need for conscription due to people's levels of patriotism. The sections under the BMU's control are: The Army - The Boak Royal Infantry, or BRI The Navy - The Boak Royal Naval Unit, or BRNU The Air Force - The Boak Royal Air Force, or BRAF Funding in the military is strong due to Boakstia's booming economy and the partnership the military has with the Scientific Research Union of Boakstia, or SRUB. Their influence has led to construction of battle armour, plasma rifles, high-power tanks, artillery and aircraft as well as efficient medical equipment, all of which are available to other members of the Union. Government Boakstia's government is that of a constitutional monarchy, where the king/queen holds high power while the government makes laws that go through the monarch's approval before being passed. The lower and upper houses are both elected, with the Prime Minister being elected every 6 years (the length of 1 term in office). A PM can serve a maximum of 3 terms, totaling 18 years. Monarchs come to power through a system of primogeniture, where the eldest child of the current reigning monarch sits as next-in-line for the throne, regardless of gender. The current monarch is Chris I and the current Prime Minister is Raja Sharma. At present, the system of government sits as a liberal democracy which permits freedom of speech, but to a limit. For example, racist parties like neo-Nazi groups and other far-right parties are not permitted. Economy Boakstia's currency is the Ulkura, and in recent years the economy has had a period of strong growth in wealth over the past few years, overtaking the Pound and the Dollar in value. Denominations include coinage of 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 75 ulkurettes (the subunit) and 1 ulkura, while there exist 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 ulkura notes. The economy is strong thanks to the large Boak workforce, with unemployment rates at less than 7%. Businesses including technology and manufacture hold strong first priorities with educational jobs and medical occupations following close behind. Geography Boakstia sits as one of the largest nations in the Pacifican Union, and boasts a wide rage of geographical features, with long coastline to its west, rocky mountain terrain in the north, tropical rainforest in the south and desert landscapes to the east. Ten major cities dot Boakstia's vast land area, with many around the borders and on the coast. Boakstia's capital of Malko'tak lies in the south-west on a ridge overlooking the sea. Boakstia has seven land borders with fellow members of the Pacifican Union. To the north lies the Republic of Baltia, while in the north-west it borders the Pacifican Union Protector (PUP) and Hostit. In the east, Father Russias and Suomilan border Boakstia, with Panat to the south-east, and finally Koriani directly south. Edited by Boakstia, Mar 30 2015, 07:38 PM.
