Gabon: Difference between revisions

Gabon, commonly known as Gabon (/ɡəˈbɒn/), is an independent nation in the northwest quadrant. The mainland of Gabon is situated adjacent to the Coral Sea and the Sea of Crete. The nation borders [[Icenia]] to the east across the Dover Strait and [[Varkonia]] to the west across the Bay of Hope. In addition, Gabon includes more than 7 islands; principally off to the east and south.

The Principality of Gabon emerged as an independent sovereign country in early June 2018 and continued to exist until July 2018 when it became the lesser partner in a political union with Varkonia. In late 2018, Varkonia would add Westmore & Kaiserriech to the union under the [[Varkonia|Grand Duchy of Varkonia]]. This political union would continue until October 2020 when an independence referendum garning a 62% leave vote would result in Gabon's exit from Varkonia.

Within Gabon, the monarchy continued to use a variety of styles, titles and symbols specific to the pre-union Principality of Gabon which would remain up until the civil war in November 2018 which would transfer Gabon's Government to a Republic whilst remaining inside of the Union. The legal system within Gabon remained separate from those of Varkonia and other provinces. The continued existence of legal, educational, religious and other institutions distinct from those in the remainder of the Varkonian Union contributed to the continuation of Gabonese culture and national identity and would eventually play a crucial role in the independence referendum of October 2020.

The Free Republic of Gabon is a semi-direct democracy with a citizen-elected Lord's Council and a head of state directly answerable to the populace by the means of recall referendum and election. The current Head of State is the Lord High Chancellor of BritishWanderer who ascended to the position after the civil war in November 2018 and has retained that position since. The Lord High Chancellor works alongside the Head of Government in all aspects of internal and diplomatic matters, the current Head of Government is the Vice Chancellor of Gobblin who has retained the position since its creation in November 2018. Both Chancellors act on the behalf of advice given by the elected Lord's Council and the appointed Cabinet.
