Gelaßenheit
The people's elected official, the Hörfäh, which holds little individual power but is expected to act and empower their legislation, the Referenten, to work in the interest of the people, selects a Phantast, who is the offical head of government and general of Gelaßenheit's armies.
Structure
Gelaßenheit is a federal parlimentary republic primarilly located on The Einsame Insel in The Pascal Ocean. The Hörfäh is the democratically elected official representing a political party, and selects a Phantast which acts as the official head of state. The Referenten is comprised of half locally elected as well as party-selected Referenter that vote on and discuss the laws and other governmental issues, led by the Phantast.
Culture
The average Gelaßner has shifted from an individualistic, anti-government libertarian to one that is community-focused with government oversight and government paid subsidies. This shift has been ongoing since the political turmoil in the late 420s.
Public Agenda
The public agenda for Gelaßenheit has an overarching idea of improving the way of life for its citizens. However, the specific nature of how the country works towards this changes based on the individual Phantast and the Gelaßner Political Parties.
Territories
Gelaßenheit's main territory is that of the island of The Einsame Insel. There are a handful of other smaller island territories under the control of the Gelaßenheiten Bundenregeirung, but predominately act as either military outposts or civilian docks and small towns to provide for the numerous fishers sailing the The Pascal Ocean.
Military
With the corruption of high ranking officers and generals being uncovered after extensive investigative journalism in the years following Die Hysterie vom 427, Gelaßenheit reorganized and restructured its military at every level. The once naval superpower sought to turn its fearsome military into a self-defense force. It's land and air departments were massively cut and the navy's funding had been reduced as well. This left a significintly lesser amount of capital for the newly-formed Self-Defense Force. The majority of the investment went into its Geheimdienstenbüro and the Zweigstelle vor Marinesicherheit. The former seeking to gain intelligence and information on both internal and external threats while the latter focuses on protecting its ships, oceanic borders, and allied states.
Technological Level
Technological and scientific innovation has been generally quite stagnate for Gelaßenheit. However, after more robust exploration of The Tötenmeer, and the then further exploition of it in the late 400s, the technological growth has greatly improved. While Gelaßenheit had typically adopted Provectan technologies and scientific knowledge, following Die Hysterie vom 427 they have made a conscientious effort to rely on their own scientists and knowledge.
Religion
While there are no official religions for Gelaßenheit, there is a restriction on what religion the Hörfäh and Phantast can be followers; the only religion that is disallowed is that of the Ecclesia Plyydric. Further, no Gelaßner Parteien vom Bundesregierung can officially endorse the Ecclesia Plyydric, the Nuncio, or make positive, public statements regarding them or the Twin Gods Plyy. Prior to a Hörfäh, Phantast, or Referenter being elected or appointed, the Geheimdienstenbüro must complete a thorough audit of their history to determine if there are any connections to the Ecclesia Plyydric or beliefs in the Twin Gods Plyy. If the audit finds anything, they are unable to hold a position in the Gelaßenheiten Bundenregeirung. Similarly, if a connection or belief is discovered during their incumbency, the Geheimdienstenbüro is able to impeach them as long as there is sufficient evidence provided. The evidence must be published in commonly available channels and use easy, understandable terms to allow the general public to fully comprehend the issues presented. The vacant seats will be filled by the individual immediatly below them in their respective line of succession.
Foreign Relations
Gelaßenheit is an open nation that has close, friendly relations with almost every other country. Notably missing from this list; however, is that of Provecta, to which Gelaßenheit has a strong trade partnership, but holds a general resentment and dislike towards them, the origin of this being Die Hysterie vom 427.
Agriculture & Industry
The argiculture sector of Gelaßenheit is small for a country of its size. Due to the extreme heat of The Einsame Insel, the only crops that are able to consistently be grown are tomatoes, eggplants, squash, and cucumbers. Instead of focusing resources and time on unproductive agriculture, the government and populous invests a large amount of time and money to the fishing industry, making it the largest global provider for seafood.
Gelaßenheit's two main industries are mining and refinment of raw materials. The Tötenmeer is host to massive deposits of silicon, aluminum, zinc, and manganese, this allowed for a massive growth in the sector upon the rapid rise of electronic devices. Further, they were able to discover a highly confidential way to refine the materials into complex parts such as semiconductors. While Gelaßenheit produces a comparative amount of high-end complex parts to Provecta, it does so at only a fraction of the cost and are generally higher quality than their Provectan counterparts.
Education
Gelaßenheit requires all of its citizens to attend, attain a passing mark, and complete all levels of school, typically ending when the student is in their 18th year. The required education system is ran by the Amt für Bildung der Kinder von Gelaßenheit, a heavily funded government branch that builds and maintains it's school buildings and creates an academic program that is updates every 10 years. The hiring and training for individual teachers and other administrative employees is handled by local agencies.
