Kirlawa, officially Republic of Kirlawa (Kilani: Poblacht na Choiarlabhan), is a nation in northern Artania that borders Dorvik, Aloria, Dundorf, Kundrati, and the Lievenian Sea.

History

Kirlawa has had a rather mixed history, with distinct periods of major turbulence followed by major calm. The first ideas of a united Kirlawan state date back to the 1300s with Ylana Ghalee's ideas on a 'Kirlawan Oligarchy', with the Kirlawan Democracy Front spearheading moves to unite the region, succeeding partially with the First Kirlawan Confederacy and fully with the Second Kirlawan Confederacy.

The Second Confederacy and Republican periods were generally very stable, with Kirlawa adopting a semi-isolationist stance, politically distancing itself from the outside world and adopting an economic approach that gradually went to the left, particularly in the mid period of the Republic. However, the CandyKids dictatorship that existed from around 2236 to 2245 heralded in much change in the Republic, with the rise of the Leftist Coalition in opposition to the CK and the birth of Kirlawan fascism.

The Republic lasted, drifting constantly leftwards, until 2289 when the Free Democratic period was heralded in. After the brief revival of right-wing economics from 2295 to 2300, the period saw the birth and regrowth of Christian fundamentalist movements, in particular the Veritan Catholic Church, the Church of the Almighty Path, and the Orange Order.

The Free Democratic era came to an end in 2333 with the First Kirlawan Civil War which saw the end after 299 years of a unified Kirlawa and the splitting of the nation. It would take until 2369 and the establishment of the People's Republic of Kirlawa after the Second Kirlawan Civil War to reunite the nation.

During the 2400s, Kirlawa underwent a period of sustained growth and stability. Towards the end of the century the growth in non-Artanian population led to the establishment of distinct political movements to further the causes of ethnic minorities, such as the Greater Dundorf Party and An Páirtí Daoine Ceilteach, the latter representing the Celtic community made up of Irish and Welsh émigrés.

In 4704, after the country's lack of political parties to guide it, the party Joint Proposal resurged and proposed a major change in the national political system, turning Kirlawa into a federal presidential republic (the Federal Republic of Kirlawa, Poblacht Chónaidhme na Kirlawa in its native language), with a Taoiseach as Head of State and Government, the creation of the Supreme Court of the nation, the establishment of the Regional Governors and the institution of the Senate of Kirlawa, along with its Head of the Council, changing also the national flag and the national motto.

In 4772, following a landslide victory in that year's election, and the complete removal of opposition from the Senate, the Socialist and Democratic Party brought in many reforms, in particular, reversing the previous Standing Left enacted Presidential Republic, once again creating two separate positions of Taoiseach/Príomh Aire, or in Luthorian, Prime Minister, and the position of Uachtarán or in Luthorian, President.

In 5430, the Hosian Democratic Party came to power in a crushing electoral victory, eradicating it's rival parties. While initially the HDP made very democratic moves, such as empowering the Dáil over the Seanad and expanding the amount of seats in the Dáil, things very quickly went sour with the passing of the "National Faith Act", a controversial bill which mandated the Hosian faith only be practiced. The act caused the a series of riots from 5435 to 5438 that culminated in the military coup of the government, and the act's repeal along with the HDP's dissolution

Geography

Kirlawa is situated in the north east part of Artania and is the 2nd most north nation in all of Artania. This makes Kirlawas physical geography and climate very unique and diverse.

Physical Geography

Part of the Uwakan Forest

Part of Merkanian Mountain Range near Pace

Uwakah has 4 physical landforms, Merkanian Mountains, Uwakahan Forrest's, Kirlawan Waterfront, Kirlawan Plains. Each of these physical landforms have their own features. These features are what contribute to the natural resources that are grown in that certain region. The landform regions are,

Uwakahan Forrest's, this Forrest is the largest Forrest in Kirlawa and one of the largest in Artania. This Forrest is mostly located in Uwakah as well as a small part of Merkan and south east Dorvik. The Forrest is roughly 35,000km2 in area. The Uwakahan Forrest's are the 4th largest landform in Kirlawa. The only natural resourses that this landform offers is logging & lumber, which is heavily regulated to ensure the preservation of the Forrest's. It's the smallest landform in Kirlawa.

Merkanian Mountains, these mountains are mostly located in Merkan as well as Uwakah (But not as much as Merkan). It is roughly 150,000km2 in area and is one of the biggest mountain ranges in Artania. This range is mainly made up of rock and is filled with many minerals such as gold, silver, diamonds, coal, copper etc. With gold being one of the mountain ranges number one natural resources, it has featured many gold rushes and is why there are many small town settlements in the mountain ranges. This mountain range makes up 65% of Merkans natural resources. It's the 2nd largest landform in Kirlawa. The upper right photo is a part of the Merkanian mountain range near pace.

Kirlawan Waterfront, this landform is located along the eastern waterfront in the provinces of, Uwakah, Dirlana, Dirguzia & Nuchtmark. It is roughly 60,000km2 in area and is one of the longest named waterfronts in Artania. This landform does not really have many natural resources but does have oil off into the water but that does not really fall under the landform categories it does though have a satisfactory fishing sector in the summer months. It is the 3rd largest landform in Kirlawa.

Kirlawan Plains, this land form is located in the heart of Kirlawa in it is a part of all of the provinces. It's roughly 750,000km2 in area and is the largest landform in Kirlawa. The natural resources are mostly vegetables and fruits with a few more industries such as oil. It is the largest landform in Kirlawa.

Climate

Precipitation

Kirlawa receives a lot of precipitation throughout the year. most of that parcipitation comes in the winter and spring months. Kirlawa receives roughly 400mm of precipitation during the winter months (Dec, Jan, Feb), and roughly 300mm in the spring months (Mar, Apr, May), and only recives less than 75mm in the summer months (Jun, July, Aug), and just over 150mm in the fall (Sep, Oct, Nov). This compared to other nations is more than usual, this is because Kirlawa is sounded by mountains on every side except for the south making it very susceptible to rainfall and precipitation coming over from the Merkanian Mountain Range. Kirlawa is the 8th rainiest nation in Artania.

Temperature

Kirlawa is one of the coldest nations in Artania with yearly temps averaging only 8.3 degrees. The hottest month in Kirlawa is July with temps getting as high as 30 degrees Celsius in some areas. The coldest month is January with temps getting as low as -10 degrees Celsius in some areas in Merkan. Kirlawa is not very suseptable to natural dsasters because of its geography and temps but there has been history of some natural disasters in Dirguzia and Dirlana. Frimpton-on-Sea is the warmest destination in Kirlawa and that is where the beach that is featured is.

Government

Executive Office.

Kirlawa has three branches of government: the executive, legislature and judiciary. All three branches maintain their sovereignty through a system of checks and balances, albeit very limited in scope. There is a Head of State, the Uachtarán (Luthorian: President), and a Head of Government, the Taoiseach (Luthorian: Prime Minister). The President is elected through a two-round preferential voting system, whereas the Taoiseach is elected and appointed by the legislature by whoever forms the government, be it a single party or a coalition. Between the two posts, the Head of Government holds most executive power, whereas the Head of State is a mainly ceremonial role. Nonetheless, both post-holders are prohibited from issuing executive orders solely by their decree. The legislative powers rely instead in the Dáil na Choiarlabhan (Luthorian: Assembly of Kirlawa).

Members of the Dáil are elected on a provincial level. Kirlawa holds elections for the Dáil and the Presidency every six years (72 months) unless an early election is agreed to by a majority in the Dáil. Elections for the Dáil are conducted on open party lists based on the D'Hondt method, with five party lists for each of the five Provinces of Kirlawa. Members of the Dáil are elected on a first-past-the-post basis.

The following is a table of members who hold prominent positions in the Legislative and Executive branches of government:

The judiciary or Kirlawa is centralised. Previously, it operated under a federal, tiered system with the presence of Provincial Courts and regional courts. Now, the Republic of Kirlawa officially has only five branches of courts, after laws were passed which stated that there shall be a "uniform system of courts across the nation".

The Supreme Court of Kirlawa is the highest and most powerful court in the nation. It has the power of judicial review and could check the actions of the Uachtarán, Taoiseach and the Dáil, by deeming their actions unconstitutional. The powers of the Constitution are vested in this court solely and the verdict delivered by this court is final.

The Supreme Court is comprised of sixteen justices: Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and fifteen Associate Justices. Justices serve until either death, mental incapacity or voluntary retirement. In order to fill vacancies a serving Court of Appeals or High Court judge is nominated by the Uachtarán. The nominee is then put through an arduous process of interviews and investigations, after which the currently seated Justices vote on whether to accept the nominee as a new Justice or not. If the vote ties then the Uachtarán becomes an impromptu tiebreaker vote.

The Court of Appeals follows the Supreme Court of Kirlawa. It hears appeals from the High Court in civil cases, and the Central Criminal Court in criminal cases. Appeals from the Special Criminal Court go to a version of the Court of Appeal called the Special Court of Appeal, in which due to the high risk of jury intimidation there is no jury, and there is three judges, who will via a majority consensus decide the guilt of the defendant, and decide the suitable sentence for the defendant.

The Court of Appeal is not a court of local or limited jurisdiction. It is not restricted to hearing cases from certain geographical areas and there is no limit to the amount of monetary damages it can award. No further appeals can be made past the Court of Appeal, unless a Supreme Court Justice believes that the decision involves a matter of general public importance, or that in the interests of justice, it is necessary that there is an appeal. Their is to be a minimum of 120 judges in the Court of Appeal.

The High Court, referred to as the Central Criminal Court when handling criminal matters, is the third tier of court in Kirlawa, and the highest one in which legal proceedings can be commenced. In civil law the cases it hears are for (tort law) claims in excess of 75,000 KDI, or appeals from the Circuit Court. It is the only court in civil law that is able to be seated with a jury, which it can be at the judge's behest. In criminal law only severe offences are initially seated in the Central Criminal Court, with most cases being brought before the court being appeals from the Circuit Court.

A version of the Central Criminal Court, called the Special Criminal Court, sits specifically for the purpose of handling organised crime, terrorist cases, subversive crimes and paramilitary crimes. The Special Criminal Court sits without a jury, and instead has three judges due to the high risk of jury intimidation. The judges of the Special Criminal Court will via a majority consensus decide the guilt of the defendant, and decide the suitable sentence for the defendant. There is to be a minimum of 412 judges in the High Court

The Circuit Court is a court of local and limited jurisdiction. Civil cases in the Circuit Court are tried by a judge sitting without a jury, and (tort law) claims made directly to the Circuit Court without going through the District Court cannot be in excess of 75,000 KDI. The nation is split into 56 equally sized circuits, each of which has one judge for civil law and one judge for criminal law except the Éagsúila circuit, which contains 46 judges for civil law and 46 judges for criminal law. Any Circuit Court Judge can request that cases in their circuit are transferred to the Éagsúila circuit, and that request will be accept unless sufficient reason can be found for it not to be transferred. All criminal matters handled by the Circuit Court must occur with a jury present. Criminal cases can only be heard in their circuit of occurrence.

The District Court is the lowest court in the nation, with local and limited jurisdiction. The nation is split in 504 districts, 9 under each circuit, and each of which has a singular judge for both civil and criminal law. In civil cases, claims of all types cannot exceed 15,000 KDI. In criminal law, the district court can only hear summary (non-indictable) offences, and depending on the law at the time, can be seated without a jury and just a single judge who determines the entire case. Criminal cases can only be heard in their district of occurrence.

Kirlawa has a population of more than 32 million people. The most populated province is Uwakah Province; the least populated is Merkan Province.

Ethnic groups

Kirlawa has received many immigrants from all over the world throughout the centuries; but by far the most prevalent ethnicity -- the first thing that comes to mind for many people in the world when they think of "a Kirlawan" ethnically -- is Enlii ( = Anglo-Celtic); a term which encompasses Celda, Luthori, or especially mixtures thereof ( = Celtic, English, or mixtures thereof). This accounts for over two-thirds of Kirlawans.

Religion

Kirlawa's religious scene is primarily a roughly equal, and peaceful, three-way mix of Hosian ( = Christian), Secular, and Pagan.

Kirlawan religion census of 4050:

  • 20% Selucian Rite ( = Roman Catholic Church)
  • 1% other Rites
  • 9% Bishopal ( = Anglican or Episcopalian)
  • 3% Veritan / Almighty Path (an indigenous religious movement in Kirlawa, originating over a millennium and a half ago)
  • 3% Society of Brethren ( = Quaker; founded in our neighbour Aloria)
  • 1% other Hosian

• 33% Secular / no religion

• 25% Pagan (nature worship, etc.)
  • 18% Nature worship
  • 5% Felinism (Cult of the Sacred Feline; a cat-centred religious movement that had originated in Barmenia)

• 4% Kamism ( = Shinto). Some also practise Daenism ( = Buddhism) alongside.

• 1% other religions

Languages

Luthori ( = English) is the lingua franca (or rather the "lingua anglica", sorry!) ;) of Kirlawa. Kilani ( = Irish Gaelic) is the most prevalent of the minority languages.

Nearly three-quarters of Kirlawans speak Luthori as their first language; and an overwhelming majority (99%) can speak it to at least some degree, as either a first, second, or third language.

Primary or first language of Kirlawans:

• 74% Luthori ( = English)

• 2% Caldorian ( = Scottish Gaelic)
• 2% Istalian ( = Italian)
• 2% Kunikata ( = Japanese)

• 1% other languages

Economy

Kirlawa is a moderately thriving nation economically, generally considered a first-world country, although the economic strength has dropped somewhat since 2723. The richest areas are the coastal areas bordering the Lievenian Sea, with the nation as a whole enjoying a fairly high standard of living. Poverty is still considered low. Much of the poverty is in Uwakah Province where light industry and very little commerce frame their economy. Recent programs have been passed to help end poverty in Uwakah. Unemployment nationwide has remained low for over 85 years. The country has a government regulated stock market and 2 exchanges; the National Exchange and the Artanian Commodity Exchange or ACE-100. Both are located in Brase Lake.

Commerce

Kirlawa exports slightly more than it imports, creating a trade surplus. Major exports include grain, fruits, electronics, and metals; while major imports include meat and oil. Nation has 5 ports in total with the largest being the Port of Cadoria. It ranks 5th in all of Artania in terms of cargo.

The nation is home to many businesses that provide goods and services to people around the world.

War and Military Conflicts

Since the founding of the nation, Kirlawa has been involved in about 4 wars the 2330s North Artanian Crisis, First Kirlawan Civil War, Second Kirlawan Civil War and the Kirlawan-Dorvish Border War. The nation has also participated in dozens of other military conflicts across terra most notably the New Englian Crisis.

Culture

Culturally, Kirlawa is a very multi-cultural nation, with the influence of immigrants from foreign lands over the past several centuries, in particular from areas including Dundorf, Dranland, New Englia, and Istalia, having a great effect on the nation's culture. There is a 'traditional' Kirlawan culture, highly regionalised across the nation. Classical Kirlawa spawned many famous artists, poets, and writers, their legacy alive today in a recovering arts movement.

In rural areas, the culture tends to be based more around traditional farming practices in the south and mining practices in areas of the north, particularly western Merkan and Uwakah. The city areas have a very homogenised culture similar to that of other Artanian and Makonian democracies.

Kirlawa also had a significant demographic of ravers, primarily in Dirguzia and Merkan. The raver culture expanded vastly mostly due to the CandyKids influence on capital projects and policies during their times of strength. This demographic typically had unwavering support for the Love Life Happiness in Kirlawan politics, as the the majority of the party were ravers themselves, leading to mutual agreements on topics such as drug laws and civil issues. Over the decades since LLH suspended their political activities, however, this demographic has faded into the background, with many emigrating from Kirlawa to libertarian-leaning nations.

In food, the Kirlawan people are not known for their mastery of cooking, but there are a number of foods and dishes including the Gerlan berry of Uwakah and the famous grain-berry rolls of Nuchtmark. The traditional Kirlawan diet consists mainly of fruits, vegetables, fish and juices.

Sport

Kirlawa enjoys the entertainment of many sports from their national sport Soccer to their most common winter sport Hockey. Kirlawa also participates in other sports like, Tennis, Rugby, Basketball, Hockey, Curling and mountain sports like Skiing and Snowboarding.

Kirlawa is also considering to bid for the first world FIFA cup and is seen to have a good shot since there national sport is soccer and all of their stadiums are already built, from their national leagues.

Media

Kirlawa has 8 broadcasting companies that own all of the media stations, TVKL.Inc, Kirlawa Broadcasting Company, Republic.Inc, Entertainment TV.Inc, Federal Broadcasting.Inc, Star! TV. Inc, Union Broadcasting Company & National TV. Inc. These companies own all of the channels on Kirlawan TV they each own different ones. Kirlawa Broadcasting Company or "KBC" is the biggest in Kirlawa and National TV.Inc or "NTV" is the smallest. Kirlawa is also influenced by many newspapers such as the Indrala Capital being the biggest in Kirlawa. As well as radio stations the biggest radio company being Star! Radio.

National Holidays

Kirlawa is very multi cultural and because of that they have many holidays and because Kirlawans are known for big celebrations. The 10 day long holiday World Festival is well known thought Artania and Terra and generates over 600 Million KDI yearly for the Kirlawan economy.
