The Federal Republic of Noton Mast


BASIC OVERVIEW

Noton Mast, officially the Federal Republic of Noton Mast, is a small country covering 607,194 km of land in northeastern Nur. It borders Apexiala to the east and Fauthur to the south. It is a federal country, with about 11.7 million people living in its 6 provinces and territories. Its capital is at Port Kingsley.

Noton Mast was formed in the 1000s, starting with a personal union between the then-independent states of Choira and Calpesia. Crupsea and the Rhett Territory both joined in the 1010s. Ossory was annexed into Noton Mast as the Ossorian District in 1022.

It was then colonized by the United Nations of Kalmach from 1122 to 1355.

Growing discontent with the subsequent governments led to Joseph Calambari and his National Unity Party taking control in May 1369. Calambari's tenure as Prime Minister would see widespread human rights abuses, government corruption, and crackdown on dissent.

He would lead for 18 years from 1369 to 1387, when riots took place across the country over a flight forced to land in Calpesia, leading to the violent overthrow of his government. Bridgit Bouchard, an opposition MP, would then become Prime Minister, first in an interim position and then after 1387's federal elections.

 


PROVINCES AND TERRITORIES OVERVIEW

As previously mentioned, Noton Mast is made up of six provinces and territories: the provinces of Choira, Crupsea, Ossory, Calpesia, and the territories of the Rhett Territory and the Federal District.

All provinces and territories have the same powers accorded to them; the Territory of Rhett retained its name upon its accession to the Republic.

The most populous province is Choira (CH), with 4,938,015 people living in the province. Major cities in the province include its capital Caithness, Helmfeld (20 km west of Caithness), and Cumamara (on the border with the Federal District).

 

POLITICS OVERVIEW

As of writing, the current prime minister is Magdalene Borsch of the Civil Alliance, and the Chancellor General is Valter Bouchere.

The Prime Minister is the head of government. They are responsible for the day-to-day running of the country, holding executive power.

An election is usually held in the first half of May. To start the elections process, the Prime Minister must request the Chancellor General to allow their resignation as Prime Minister, dissolve their government, and hold elections, of which the Chancellor General can theoretically either deny or accept the request; however, there has never been a record of a Chancellor General denying a request.

After an election, the Chancellor General nominates a candidate for Prime Minister (usually the leader of the party which came first in the election), which is then submitted to the Parliament for a vote. If the vote passes, the Prime Minister is elected and can then begin the process of forming their government, appointing MPs to the various ministries.

LAW AND JUSTICE OVERVIEW

The court system is managed by the federal Ministry for Justice through the Department of Courts and Jails. Provincial and territorial courts are under the purview of that province's Ministry of Justice or its equivalent. All court cases in Noton Mast are decided by a jury.

The lowest level of federal court is the Federal District Courts, of which there are three; the Southern District Court (covering Calpesia and Choira), Ossorian Federal District (covering Ossory), and the Northern Federal District (covering the Rhett Territory and Crupsea). 

The Federal Appellate Court in Smoland is the second level, overseeing cases appealed from the Federal District Courts.
