Imperial Truidence

Imperial Truidence (Truidence or IT for short) is a nation in the -,- region. The government of Imperial Truidence is a mixture of an absolutist monarchy and a representative democracy.

Political System
The Truidencian political system is defined by its use of both authoritarianism, in service of efficiency, and democracy, in service of the common good. The Emperor of Imperial Truidence has complete executive power, but can be overruled by a 80% majority in the national parliament (known as The Commons). Similarly, the parliament can enact laws and elect executive officials, but can be overruled by the Emperor as long as there is less than 80% consensus for the given matter.

There are also three judges. One is chosen by the Emperor, on is chosen by the the Commons and one is chosen by election.

After Bez abdicated, three minister positions were created, to lessen the burden on the head of state's shoulders. these are elected by the senate, but have to be approved by the Emperor or PC. The positions are for life.

History
Founding and Early Days

Imperial Truidence was founded on 1st of April 2019 on the ruins of Concord. The city was promptly renamed to Anburon and became the nation's capital.

On the 28th 2019 of April Emperor XxxBezxxX declared the temporary suspension of the Commons; set to last until the 31st of May. This was done because of the tradition of Russetid and coming exams. "Both me and the senators believe this is the best course of action, seeing that we now have a period of limited time we can devote to the server and building our nation is currently more pressing than maintaining democracy. - XxxBezxxX"

On the 28 of May Emperor XxxBezxxX announced that democracy was to be reinstated and on the 30th of May the Commons was reinstated after a general election.

The Period of Shifting Alliances

Imperial Truidence joined the UNC on the 1st of July. The nation's presence was short however, and did not amount to much. Imperial Truidence left the UNC as a consequence of instability in the alliance, but particularily because of Bloom's and Gensokyo's withdrawal from the UNC. The Truidencian senate agreed on that it no longer was in the best interest of Imperial Truidence to be in the UNC, as theere no longer were any allies nearby. The UNC fell apart the following day, as Iria, Kaltsburg, SPQR, Nevrast, and Corcus Corp. all left the alliance. Tvtopia is the only remaining nation, electing to keep the UNC as a museum.

To deal with this new crises, Emperor Bez called a meeting with the senators of Imperial Truidence. At this meeting, Bez, ObtainableSpatula, Smarties_313 and Dr_Despacito decided the general course the nation was going to take. Bez also revealed that he was planning on retiring soon due to his work schedule.

Emperor Bez declared his abdication from the throne of Imperial Truidence and all her territories on the 13th of July, though there was room for reinstatement if or when his work schedule would allow it. He named ObtainableSpatula as his successor. Bez kept his titles in his self-appointed exile, though the actual position of head of state was transferred to ObtainableSpat who gained the title Prime Chancellor. He served as a de facto Emperor for the remainder of the period.

The Imperial Truidence constitution was also changed as decided by the earlier meeting, with Emperor Bez writing the proposal and the senators voting it in. The most major change was the establishment of a minister system, consisting of the roles of the Chancellor (minister of the interior), Field Marshall (defense minister), and the Chief Diplomat (minister of foreign relations). These positions were given to Smarties_313, ObtainableSpatula, and ObtainableSpatula respectively.

Imperial Truidence's period of standing alone ended two days after the Emperor's abdication, with Prime Chancellor ObtainableSpatula signing the Treaty of Salisbury, a pact of friendship and assistance with Varkonia, a previous UNC member.

A few days later, on the 18th, the Prime Chancellor signed and co-wrote the charter of a brand new alliance, the United Defensive Front, UDF for short. This new alliance consisted of Imperial Truidence, Icenia, and previous UNC ally Bloom.

The borders of Imperial Truidence were also heavily expanded upon by the Prime Chancellor.

During the last days of the period a divide took form within the state of Imperial Truidence. ObtainableSpatula, being the head of state, wanted to enact an extensive architectural reform, requiring many citizens to alter the design of their properties. The Chancellor, Smarties_313 opposed the reform, citing the the reform's transgression on the personal freedom of Truidence citizens.

With Smarties_313 lack of cooperation, ObtainableSpatula took on the task himself, effectively juggling the roles of Prime Chancellor, Field Marshal, Chief Diplomat and now Chancellor. This caught the attention of Bez, who reached out to ObtainableSpatula, marking the end of the period.""Imperial Restoration

On August 13th, exactly a month after his abdication, Emperor Bez reassumed his position as head of state. In his announcement he made it known that he would serve in a more limited capacity due to his work schedule not having changed. The ministers were to conduct day to day operations, with Bez solving disputes between them and overruling poor decision making.

His first action was to call a meeting with the ministers. At this meeting the state of Imperial Truidence was reunified with common agreement on the issue of architectural reform. (To be announced)
