Thalássia

Very WIP as of now.

Our land of rock and sea, our refuge of beauty divine! part of the "Sailors' song", which is considered to be the anthem of the Thalássian state

Structure

The Assembly

It is the primary executive and lawmaking body in the Thalássian system. It consists of 500 delegates elected for a period of 3 years in national elections. Anyone who drafted themselves on the election list can be voted into office as a delegate. Since the country is of small size, there is no area-based division of the candidates. When elected, they are granted diplomatic immunity and begin living in the capital. They're responsible for the appointment of overseers to the according institutions and have the ability to decide on new laws and their execution. Meetings of the Assembly occur once every week, during which the most pressing matters of the time are debated on.

The Magistrates and their Overseers

Below the Assembly are the Magistrates, led by an Overseer. They are basically ministries tasked with making sure laws and reforms are implemented in time and with proper care and thought. In addition to that, they run most public offices and local administrations. Some of the Magistrates that can be named are for example: of Public Safety, of Internal Affairs, of International Relations, etc. As mentioned before, they are headed by an Overseer, chosen by the Assembly. Their task is to monitor all activities of their subordinate functionaries and detect corruption or mismanagement in the lower ranks.

History

The Great Escape

During the turmoil of the civil war in the Solarian Regency (referred to as the War of the New Dawn) a considerable intellectual freethinkers group, that had been previously oppressed by the absolute government of the Empress-Regent, decided to escape both the war and the powerful grasp of the iron fist with which the dictatorial Empress-Regent ruled. They managed to sail away without bloodshed as the imperial government was focused on the war. They left everything behind in their homeland and set out to establish themselves somewhere far away. Weeks of sailing brought them to an inhabited warm land, jagged with small bays and straits. This is where they made their new home, among the native people who welcomed them gladly.

Thalássian

It's a nation built on friendship. When they escaped their oppressors and arrived at this entirely new land, instead of becoming colonizers and dominating this region, which they just as well could with their superiority of the arcane and technology, they adapted to the natives, mixing their culture with theirs into this unique and organic blend. excerpt from the book "On Thalássia"
