Geography

Location and Borders

All of Sekiya's territory is located in South-Western Nur. It's sea borders are the Dahme Sea, Sekiyan Sea and Great Pacific to the west and it's land borders are Peourouin to the north, Ionia to the south-east and Rivalfiume to the south-west. The eastern border follows the Sylvanian mountain range, that historically has blocked armies from the east from entering Sekiya. A small gap in the mountains, named Höllentor, has been the sole entry into Sekiya through the mountains, and is historically one of the most guarded borders in the world, even today. Despite this, recent diplomatic efforts with Sekiya's eastern neighbour have led to the construction of a highway connecting the two countries. In the north, large areas of arid plains and steppe have made it difficult for large conflicts to occur and forests in the south have also protection.


Sub-Divisions
 

Sekiya has Primary, Secondary and Tertiary of sub-divisions. Following the 1370s government reorganization, all subdivisions were redrawn using cultural groups, historical borders & geography as a basis.

Republican Military

The Republican Military is the primary military force of Sekiya. The President of Sekiya holds the position of "Supreme Commander of the Republican Army", however all aspects of the Republican Military are managed by the Bureau for Strategic Defence. The Republican Military is comprised of the Republican Army, Republican Air Force, Republican Navy and Republican Special Forces, each of which have their own various roles.

Sekiya's military expenses account for 7.8% of the government budget, up from 4.5% 10 years ago. This results in a total expenditure of 17 billion.

The Republican Military is composed of 5 commands.

  • Republican Air Force
  • Republican Navy
  • Republican Special Forces
  • Republican Guard

Past

Before the civil war, Sekiya had a very small central armed forces, based in Astana, that primarily consisted of specialized units and a significant portion of the Sekiya's air power. The majority of Sekiya's armed forces remained split into several paramilitaries based around the countries.

The lack of control over these paramilitary units is ultimately what led to the start of the Second Sekiyan War.

Republican Space Force

Founded in 1389 to get Sekiya to space, it was disbanded in 1390, following the lack of budget to fund such a project.

Internal Affairs

It's basically Yugoslavia's form of Governance


Overview
Sekiya is a confederation of several Constituent Republics. Each Constituent Republic has it's own assembly. Additionally, there is a Federal Assembly that has representatives from all of Sekiya's Constituent Republics and Autonomous Regions, that vote on national matters.

Sekiyan Charter

The Sekiyan Charter is the supreme charter of Sekiya. It outlines the framework for the nation's government, establishing its structure, powers, and limitations. The Charter is based on a set of fundamental principles and morals that guide the nation's governance.

Federal Assembly - Legislative Branch

The Federal Assembly is the highest legislative body at the federal level, responsible for making and amending national laws and policies.
It consists of two chambers: the House of Delegates and the Senate.

House of Delegates

  • Members of the House of Delegates are elected through a proportional representation system based on the population of each Constituent Republic.
  • The number of delegates for each Constituent Republic is determined by its population, ensuring proportional representation.
  • Delegates in the House represent the citizens of the entire country, irrespective of their federal republic of origin.
  • The House is responsible for introducing and debating national legislation.

Senate

  • The Senate ensures that all federal republics have an equal say in the legislative process.
  • Each Constituent Republic sends an equal number of senators to the Senate, regardless of its population or size.
  • The Senate reviews and approves legislation passed by the House of Delegates and provides a check on the power of the House.

Federal Courts - Judicial Branch

The Federal Court system ensures the rule of law and resolves legal disputes at the federal level.

Supreme Federal Court

  • 1 Judge is appointed per each Constituent Republic's President.
  • 1 Judge is appointed per each Autonomous Region.
  • 1 Judge, the Chief Justice, is appointed by the Chancellor.

Office of the Chancellor - Executive Branch

The Office of the Chancellor is the executive branch of Sekiya and consists of a Chancellor, Vice Chancellor and the Federal Council.

The Chancellor is chosen by the 

Federal Council

The Federal Council is an 'advisory body' of sorts. the Federal Council is handpicked by the Chancellor, however traditionally, this always includes each Constituent Republic's President, the leader of the Starist Church and the current head of the Sekora family, the ex-Royal family.

Previously, other influential Sekiyans have held positions on the Federal Council, including the Chairman of Kaiserstahl between 1303 - 1306.

Bureaus

The government has several Bureaus that manage certain aspects of Sekiya. The Chancellor is responsible for appointing a Secretary to head each Bureau. the Bureaus are:

  • Bureau for Environmental Protection and Conservation - Ensures the long-term health and sustainability of the environment by formulating and implementing policies that address environmental challenges, protect ecosystems, and promote sustainable development.
  • Bureau for Cultural Heritage and Tourism - Protects and promotes Sekiya's cultural heritage, ensuring its preservation for future generations, and utilising cultural assets to stimulate tourism, boost the economy, and enhance national identity.

  • Bureau for Infrastructure and Transportation - Ensures the efficient and safe movement of people, goods, and services within the country by developing and maintaining reliable and sustainable infrastructure and transportation networks.
  • Bureau for Education and Apprenticeship - Provides equitable and accessible education opportunities, improves the quality of education, and enhance skills development through apprenticeship and vocational training programs. It aims to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary for personal growth, employment, and contributing to society.
  • Bureau of Economic Planning and Development - Fosters a robust and inclusive economy by formulating and implementing effective economic policies, attracting investments, promoting entrepreneurship, and creating an enabling environment for business and innovation.
  • Bureau for Justice and Law - Upholds the rule of law, protect citizens' rights, maintains public safety, and provides access to justice. It aims to establish an impartial and efficient justice system that ensures equality, fairness, and the protection of individual and societal interests.
  • Bureau for Social Welfare and Community Development - Enhances social well-being, addresses social inequalities, and promotes community development through the implementation of social welfare policies, programs
  • Bureau for Energy and Natural Resources - Creates a secure, sustainable, and efficient supply of energy while promoting responsible and environmentally friendly use of natural resources. It formulates policies, regulates energy markets, promotes renewable energy development, and manages the sustainable utilization of natural resources.
  • Bureau for Technology and Digital Transformation - Leverages technology and digital innovation to enhance efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness across various sectors.

It formulates defense policies, coordinates military activities, enhances defense capabilities, and develops strategies to address emerging security challenges and threats. The bureau plays a vital role in maintaining peace, stability, and safeguarding the nation's interests.

State Governments

Eacxh of Sekiya's states has its own government, headed by a governor. The state governments are structured similarly to the federal government, with a legislative branch and an executive branch.

State legislatures are responsible for making laws at the state level. They typically have two chambers, similar to the federal Congress, with most states having a House of Representatives and a Senate. The number of representatives varies by state, based on population and other factors. State legislatures deal with issues that are within the state's jurisdiction, such as education, transportation, healthcare, and criminal justice.

The governor is the chief executive of the state government and is elected by the state's citizens. The governor's role is to implement and enforce state laws, propose a budget, and oversee the various executive agencies within the state. The governor also has the power to veto legislation passed by the state legislature.

State governments play a crucial role in the implementation of policies and laws that directly affect their residents. They have authority over a range of issues, including education, public safety, healthcare, infrastructure, and taxation, among others. State governments have the flexibility to address local needs and tailor policies to their specific circumstances while working within the framework of the Sekiyan Charter.

Cultures

Within it's borders, Sekiya has several distinct cultures.

  • Astanan
    • Higher Astanan
    • Lower Astanan
    • Australese
    • Custodian
  • Dahmish
    • Nursylvanian
    • Peninsular Dahmish
    • Middle Dahmish
  • Karlovan
    • Outer Karlovan
    • Inner Karlovan
  • Pacifikan
  • Marsupian
  • Neues-Violetish
  • Fluvian
  • Stapolsk

Astanan has always been the primary culture of Sekiya, and sadly, this was only further enforced during the Sekiyan state, which saw the discrimination of non Astanan cultures. Whilst efforts have been made to heal these scars, many still feel the pain from decades of oppression. Despite this, the government has recently been starting a movement to rename cities to their cultural names.

Mythology & Religion


Overview

Starism is a polytheistic religion that originated in Sekiya and is primarily practiced within the nation. While the religion has little following outside of the country, it holds great significance to almost all Sekiyans, with around a quarter whom view it as a fundamental part of their cultural identity. Starism features numerous deities, each with their own unique role and purpose within the religion.

The name and image of Starism come from the Great Central Star, seen at certain points of the year in the Southern Hemisphere. The star, on a clear night, will shine with 4 points. It is said this Star is the location of Nor, the 'heaven' for Starists.

Starism symbol Great Central Star

The central tenet of Starism is the belief that it is essential to maintain the favor of all the gods. To achieve this, followers of the religion are encouraged to follow a set of principles that promote kindness and respect towards all. Specifically, these principles involve showing love and compassion towards friends and foes alike, as well as demonstrating reverence for the natural world that the gods created. Additionally, followers of Starism are encouraged to display honour and respect towards every individual, regardless of their status or station in life. Finally, Starism teaches that individuals should always strive to achieve the highest level of greatness in all that they do, as this honors both themselves and the gods they worship.

According to Starism, those who fully commit to and successfully live by these principles throughout their lives will be rewarded with a place in Nor, an astral world located millions of light years away. Nor is believed to be a place where negative emotions, actions, and experiences cannot reach, offering a sort of eternal bliss to those who achieve it.

However, those who fail to live up to these ideals will not attain a place in Nor. Instead, they will be reborn into Esferos, the physical world in which Sekiya is located. This cycle of rebirth is thought to continue until an individual is able to live in accordance with the principles of Starism and earn a place in Nor.

Modern Trends
In the modern Era, many Sekiyans do not identify as Starist, however Starism still plays a large part in Sekiyan's lives through national holidays, events and media.

Holy Sites
Starism has 4 main holy sites, all within Sekiya.

  • Monastery of Beck - The Monastery of Beck is a historic landmark located at the heart of the ancient city of Beck. With its roots dating back to the founding of the city, the monastery has borne witness to centuries of change and upheaval, yet remains a symbol of stability and faith in the community.
  • Eifel Stone Circle - The Eifel Stone Circle is one of the oldest and most mysterious holy sites of Starism. It is a collection of large standing stones arranged in a circular formation, located in the county of Eifel, within Karlsbierg. The stones are believed to have been placed by Erda and Ei to teach Starists about astronomical ideas, and the site is now considered sacred by Starism followers who visit the circle to connect with the natural world and honor the gods who built it.
  • Mount Arla - Mount Arla is a majestic peak located in the east of Sekiya, and it is considered the holiest site of Starism. It is said that the mountain is the dwelling place of the gods, and Starism followers believe that climbing to the summit of Mount Arla is a spiritual pilgrimage that can bring great blessings and enlightenment. The ascent to the peak is a challenging and dangerous journey, but it is a revered undertaking for those who seek to deepen their connection to the divine.
  • Vinningen Monastery - The Vinningen Monastery is a secluded and serene spiritual retreat located on an island just 1 kilometer off the coast of the coastal city of Vinningen. Accessible only by boat, the monastery is a true sanctuary for Starists that wish to seek solitude within their faith. With its stunning views of the sea and the surrounding landscape, the monastery offers visitors a chance to connect with nature and find inner peace. The monks and nuns who reside at the monastery are renowned for their wisdom and kindness, and provide guidance and support to those who seek it.

Deities

At the head of Starism are Erda, the god of time and fate, and Ei, the goddess of the land and fertility.

The Astral Daughters were the first children of Erda and Ei, and they represent concepts that go beyond physical matter. Liefrau is the goddess of love and associated with marriage, fertility, and romance. Lula is the god of Nor, and is said to judge those worthy of entering the land of Nor after death. Heli is the goddess of light, with control over the sun and the stars. She uses her power to keep Esferos from freezing over, making her one of the most powerful gods in Sekiya.

The Earthly Brothers are the youngest children of Erda and Ei, and they represent a young spirit. Degô is the god of war, rewarding those who fight for the greater good in battle, with the promise of being sent to Nor if they die. Jagô is the god of hunting, ensuring that hunters are able to provide for their families and protecting Sekiyans on land. Blagô is the god of the sea, protecting those who fish or travel by sea.

The Lesser Gods are humans who were uplifted by the gods to serve Sekiyans. Vulkan is the god of fire, once a legendary forge who was murdered by a competitor. He accepted the position of God of Fire and brought the formula for Sekiyan Steel to the land. Amor is the goddess of wine and festival, who was once a vinyard owner. Her wine was so good that even the gods had a taste for it, and she was offered the position of goddess to share her festival with all. Merkur is the god of luck, known for being the luckiest man alive. When visited by Degô, he proved his luck and was offered the position of God of Luck to bring good fortune to all Sekiyans.

Random Trivia

  • When the invention of the light bulb made it's way to Sekiya, there was fierce opposition from certain Starist groups, as they believed that it was an insult to the power of Heli.
  • Eifel County's rolling hills are rumored to have been where Ei once tilled the land to create a garden for her children.
  • The flag of Sekiya can be traced back several hundreds of years to the 4-pointed star, which slowly adapted into a cross.

Following the dissolution of the first Astanan Kingdom and the occupation by Giovanniland of Sekiya's 2 largest ports, the region entered a period of very little growth or change.

Second Sekiyan Kingdom (1203 - 1325 A.F.)

Declaration of the Second Sekiyan Kingdom

The petty kingdom era in Sekiya broke, when in May 12 1203, Australis entered into a personal union under Astana. This led to much greater cooperation between the two kingdoms. This also gave Astana access to the Australese Waffenlager, the largest armoury in Sekiya at the time. Now with access to more manpower, industrial capability and weaponry, Astana declared the Second Sekiyan Kingdom.

First Coalition War

Lasting only 8 months, the first coalition war was fought between Astana & Australis against a coalition of the Custodian Mountain Republic, Nursylvanian Kingdom and the Vinningan Republic. Whilst Astana barely won, they managed to fully occupy the Vinningan Republic. Astana lost some land in the south to Custodia and Nursylvania, however took Vinningan as a puppet Kingdom, installing the Prince of Astana as the Vinningan's new king.

First Sekiyan War (1326 A.F. - 1329 A.F.)

The

Spoiler

In January 1326, Kaiser Otto VII passed away, leaving his sole heir, Kaiserin Emilia, to inherit the throne. While this posed no issue in Astana, the succession laws in Dahme, Pacifika, and Karlovo did not allow for a female monarch. To swiftly secure these regions under the crown, Emilia deployed several troops to establish control. However, due to a series of grave mistakes made by the Kaiserin's forces, the First Sekiyan War erupted.

Whilst initially, the war was faught between Emilia's Royal Army, the Dahme Freedom Movement & the Pacifika-Karlovan alliance, a 4th faction split off from the the Royalists: Hazelhurst's Army. Hazelhurst was an extreme far right nationalist Astanan, born in Australis. His faction was anti monarchy, however pro unity.

Many in the nation saw Hazelhurst as the logical choice for those skeptical of Emilia's strength and unwilling to witness the country's disunity. Due to this, the numbers in his army began to steadily rise.

The war came to an end following Hazelhurst's army purchasing armoured vehicles from XXX, and paired with the 'Hazelhurst doctrine', his army successfully subdued all remaining factions by December 1329.

Sekiyan State (1330 - 1371)
A small disclaimer about this time of Sekiyan history. In no way is Hazelhurst glorified by me or my nation's history in any way. This is simply my way of exploring how fascism could so easily destroy a country, and the lasting damage that this period of history still has on Sekiya today.

Overview

The Sekiyan State was established following General Rupert Von Hazelhurst's victory in the First Sekiyan War. The country's feudal system was scrapped for a dictatorship under Hazelhurst and his inner circle.

The people of Sekiya suffered massively under the Sekiyan state. Despite strong economic growth, industrialization and urbanization during the Sekiyan State, it came at the loss of freedom and the lives of Sekiyans.

Several of Hazelhurst's policies were:

  • Centralization - The Sekiyan State had an extremely centralized government, focused around Hazelhurst and his inner circle. Governors were appointed to districts, created to better organised local police forces and taxation. These districts were deliberately drawn to divide communities so that it would be harder for a single district to enter a stage of revolt.
  • Censorship - All media from the outside world was thoroughly checked before being allowed into Sekiya.
  • Huge government spending - Hazelhurst was a staunch fascist, and believed that the people should work for the good of the state. Due to this, huge taxes were placed on the people, with humongous amounts of money being poured into rails, highways, industrial subsidies and several personal projects of Hazelhurst's, including palaces, resorts and monuments. Additionally, the police received heavy funding to put down radical movements.
  • Extreme Autarky - Hazelhurst also enforced several laws that enforced Autarky in Sekiya, as he believed that Sekiya must be ready to fight on it's own at any point.
  • Religious suppression - During this time, the Sekiyan State became an atheist state, and Hazelhurst caused the destruction and/or repurposement of roughly 50% of Sekiya's religious sites, with many being converted into monuments to the Sekiyan State.
  • Historical suppression - Sekiyan education was heavily modified, with Sekiya being placed at the center of world maps in all schools, and pupils being taught that Hazelhurst was the first person in history to unify Sekiya. Around 33% of Sekiyan historical artifacts and recorded texts were destroyed.
  • Urbanization - Hazelhurst recognized that Sekiya's agricultural economy wasn't going to take the nation into the future, and started stealing land from farmers and forcing them to live in the cities and transition to factory work.
  • Discrimination

Hazelhurst's illness and death

Hazelhurst became severely ill in 1367.  In the decade leading to his illness, his inner circle had fallen apart, and the county was ready to collapse, with Hazelhurst being the only thing holding it together. Hazelhurst named Conrad Fuchs as his successor, however Fuchs' position in Sekiya was relatively weak compared to other players seeking control of Sekiya.

The Second Sekiyan War (1372 - 1376)

Overview

Hazelhurst finally died in 1368. Fuchs led the country for 53 hours before Sekiya errupted into a civil war, and within a week, there were 7 factions fighting for control of Sekiya.

Factions & Their goals

There were 7 factions in the Second Sekiyan War:

  • Conrad Fuchs' army - As the designated successor of Hazelhurst within the Sekiyan State, Conrad Fuchs was a devoted follower of Hazelhurst's ideology, poised to carry forward his legacy of tyranny. Capitalizing on his son's position as the governor of southern Pacifika at the time, Fuchs successfully garnered the allegiance of the Pacifikan Military District.
  • Karl Baier's army - Karl Baier, a figure even more malevolent than Hazelhurst in Sekiya, aimed to bring about radical changes to the country. His tenure as Governor of Nursylvania witnessed over a million Dahmish citizens subjected to forced labor to fuel his war campaign. With a firm grasp over the southern region, Baier managed to compel the Dahme Military District into serving his cause.
  • Rudolf Dasher's army - Rudolf Dasher, a high-ranking intelligence operative, gained support by pledging to reintegrate Sekiya with the global community. Through years of strategic efforts as an intelligence officer, he asserted considerable control over the central Sekiya garrisons, which granted him access to a significant portion of Sekiya's airforce.
  • Sekiyan Navy - Formed primarily to safeguard the assets of the Sekiyan navy during the civil war, this faction emerged due to concerns that the navy might suffer significant losses in the conflict.
  • Free Pacifikan Army - The FPA had a straightforward objective: to establish an autonomous Pacifikan state, free from the influence of Sekiya.
  • Steel Guard - Functioning primarily as a defensive force, the Steel Guard abstained from direct engagement and focused on shielding Australis from the war's impact.
  • North Freedom Army - Similar to the FPA, the NFA fought for the sovereignty of a liberated Karlovan state. Sharing parallel goals, the NFA and FPA swiftly established a truce between themselves.

The faction borders at the start of the war.

First Stage of the civil war

At the beginning, the NFA and Baier's army directed their attention towards confronting Fuchs' forces. Baier recognized that his chances of success greatly depended on capturing the Sekiyan capital Astera before others. Simultaneously, the NFA pursued their own bid for the capital, understanding that holding Astera would provide them leverage for negotiating their independence. This competition gave rise to a series of clashes with Fuchs' army, later referred to as the 'Race to Astera'.

On the flip side, Dasher aimed to prevent either the NFA or Baier from gaining control over the capital. To achieve this, he formed a temporary truce with Fuchs and initiated an offensive against the Sekiyan Navy, which was comparatively weaker and less willing to engage. Despite having control over the Sekiyan Fleet, the navy lacked substantial ground forces, leading to territorial losses until a deadlock was reached approximately 50 kilometers north of Fischendorf.

Minor conflicts flared up between the PMD and FPA in the Pacifika region, with both sides making gradual advancements of only about a kilometer each time. Concerned about the threat posed by Baier in the south, Dasher and Fuchs collaborated on a coordinated attack in the later part of 1373. This endeavor led to the establishment of the Dasher-Fuchs pact, a military alliance between the two factions. Fuchs consented to many of Dasher's stipulations, including the reintroduction of Sekiya into the global marketplace.

Following the formation of this pact, the NFA redirected their efforts towards challenging the Steel Guard, recognizing the impracticality of their capital-focused strategy. They swiftly secured territories in the northern regions but encountered logistical difficulties in the expansive Great Australese Plains.

image.thumb.png.ef4fd660cab104e3a6acd203678eaca7.png

The faction borders in early 1374.

Baier's defeat and arrival of the DLA.

In late 1374, Baier met his end through an airstrike, marking the termination of his tyrannical rule. Seizing this opportunity, the previously oppressed Dahmish Liberation Army engaged Dasher and Fuchs, securing much of the southern territories once controlled by Baier. Just three months after Baier's demise, Fuchs suffered a similar fate, succumbing to an assassination involving a ricin pellet. Consequently, the Dasher-Fuchs alliance crumbled, allowing the DLA to overpower a significant portion of the combined forces in the southern region.

Dasher incorporated the remaining lands and forces previously under Fuchs' command, which encompassed vital locations such as Sekora, Sekiya's largest city, and the capital, Astera. With Fuchs out of the picture, the Pacifikan Military District swiftly disintegrated, falling under the influence of the FPA.

By the end of 1375, the civil conflict reached a standstill. The navy, displaying unwavering resolve, persisted in resisting Dasher's ultimatums. Recognizing their shared objectives, the NFA, DLA, and FPA united in the Dissolution Pact. This pact was established with the aim of countering Dasher's Sekiya and reverting the nation to its 756 borders. The intention was to keep Sekiya divided, ensuring no single nation within the region would wield disproportionate power. Conversely, Dasher persisted in his pursuit of a united Sekiya.

Although Dasher retained the upper hand in terms of authority within the conflict, his front against the Dissolution Pact was stretched thin, characterized by lengthy and fragile lines of defense.

image.thumb.png.21cf9f298a353466e0447c381359d063.png

The faction borders in 1376

End of the civil war

In a genuine effort to establish peace, Lieutenant General Horst Stein, the third-ranking officer in Dasher's army, and Vice-Marshal Paula Blitzky, second in command of the Dissolution faction, convened in secrecy and devoted a week to meticulously negotiating the terms of reconciliation. Subsequent to their discussions, both parties reached a consensus on the proposed peace terms.

The conclusion of the prolonged conflict entailed significant concessions from each side:

  • The inhabitants of Karlovo, Pacifika, and Dahme were granted equivalent rights to those of Astanan Sekiyans, fostering a sense of equality and inclusivity.
  • Sekiya underwent a transformation into a fully functional democracy, upholding the principle of nondiscrimination across all segments of society.
  • The formulation of the 'Sekiyan Charter' took place, delineating the foundational principles of the new democratic system established in Sekiya.
  • Geographical divisions were altered, replacing districts with states, a change aimed at providing a more accurate representation of the diverse cultures within the nation.
  • Considerable autonomy was vested in the states, enabling them to govern their internal affairs to a significant extent.
  • A momentous measure involved the dismantling of all paramilitary groups, which were amalgamated to forge a unified Republican Military, aligning with the principles of a more unified and stable nation.

War exhaustion on both sides led to the acceptance of the peace deal, and a ceasefire occurred on 12 December, 1376. The war was officially ended on the 30th December following the ratification of the peace deal, and the surrender of the Sekiyan Navy and the Steel Guard

The Stall (1377 - 1414)

"The Stall" refers to a period of rebuilding following the attempted coup and substantial civil war, during which the country saw very little growth. During this time, the capital was moved temporarily during the rebuilding efforts of the old capital, however the change became permanent due to the new location being more accessible and suitable for the nation, as well now being in a neutral part of the Nation that wasn't heavily influenced by any one faction or culture. 

During this time, a huge effort to restore Sekiya's holy sites & cultural buildings began.

Centrist Restoration (1414 - )

The "Centrist Restoration" is the official name given to the current period that Sekiya is in, and is a term given to refer to several significant changes being made to the country by the Centrist party. This includes tax cuts, increased military & infrastructure spending and significantly decreased welfare spending.

The Centrist Restoration has received mixed criticism from within and outside the country, with some calling it the "Centrist destruction". Several human rights groups within Esferos have criticized the government for abolishing "Sek-Care", a tax-funded healthcare pot that could be allocated to those unable to pay medical bills.
