Name: Gelland Official Name: The Republic of Gelland Politics: Head of State: President Arnold Tabitto Government Type: Presidential Democracy Executive Branch: The president is the head of state, and is elected for terms of four years, after which he/she may seek re-election. The president appoints a Prime Minister and other ministers from the Senate. Legislative Branch: There are two democratically elected houses, the Senate and the Citizen's Congress. The Senate is elected by a first-past-the-post system, and is considered the superior house of parliament. The Citizen's Congress is elected by proportional representation, and only has the power to delay and ammend proposed legislation. Geography: Gelland is a small country surrounded by natural defences, with sea to the north and west, and mountain ranges to the south and east. The land itself is known for its many hills and valleys, although the coatal areas are fairly flat. It's capital city, Nadass, lies roughly in the centre of the country. Economy: Gelland is admired for its strong "mixed" economic system, which has a high level of central planning but also high levels of economic freedom. The economy is mostly serviced based, although there is also a strong agricultural sector as a result of government support. The rate of economic growth is also high, although some economists have expressed doubt as to whether this can be sustained. Diplomacy: Ambassador to Ostentia: Sophie Appleby Ostentian Ambassador: Mia Fey Formal Relations: Yes International Relations: Empthrinia: Empthrinia is a strong trading partner of Gelland, and the two countries get on well with each other. Nellapaland: Due to an agreement with Aspar, Gelland does not recognise Nellapaland. Aspar: The two countries have a somewhat variable relationship. Gelland has recently complained publically about Aspar's refusal to open up its economy, but still supports Aspar's stance on Nellapaland. Eronam: Gelland and Eronam are often viewed as economic rivals. However, relations remain friendly. Wo: No contact between the two countries. Exilia: No contact between the two countries. Autocratia: No contact between the two countries. Democratia: No contact between the two countries. Christophia: The two countries are long-term allies. Trade between them is very strong. Topanto: Gelland considers itself an ally of Topanto, but this feeling is not mutual. The U.C.C.R.: The two countries have a very similar GDP per capita, but Gelland has a much smaller spread. Parsko: Gelland have blatantly ignored Parsko's claim to their mountainous regions. |
