Introduction

The Declined Empire of Dimoniquid is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Josh Barron with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of three hundred and seventy five million people have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Education and Defence are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luisiano. The average income tax rate is 60%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports industries.

Organised sports are frowned upon as frivolous, nudity is frowned upon, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, and midnight raids drag couples from their homes in the name of decency. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dimoniquid's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Buddhism, and its currency is the pound.

History

In 1987, the nation of Dimoniquid become an independent country, and was ruled by President Alec Hardin. He ruled for eight years, and proved to be a natural leader by the Senators, Congress, and Government. He created the “Twin Skyscrapers”, which were unfortunately blown apart by two separate terrorism acts. The country recovered from the two attacks, and voted for a new leader after Alec stepped down and became the Minister of Defense.

In 1995, the elected leader was Alice Marshell. She started most laws that carried on to the 21st century. She ruled for eight years, and then stepped down to become the Head of Government.

The next president, elected in 2003, was Alias Silverman. He ruled for three years, and enforced an all persuasive military-police force that controlled the human rights of everybody. He changed the democratic style of the government, and made it into dictatorship. He enforced communist thoughts, and decided that genocide was best for the people of Dimoniquid, so he sent his military police force to kill any person that believed that the “Big bang theory” was true. After three years of hard dictatorship, he was assassinated by the Dimoniquid Secret Service, and his vice president, Josh Barron, decided to become the next president.

Josh has ruled for three years, and is carrying on the democratic way that Dimoniquid used to be before Silverman’s reign of dictatorship. He enforces the police force, but with less force than Silverman. Dimoniquid was involved in a war, and successfully required codes and the control panel of several nuclear warheads set in Jduail. After many years of presidency, Barron was overthrown by his Minister of Defense, Alec Mortimer. He was assassinated, and Josh gained the presidency again, and gave the role of Minister of Defense to the Director of the Dimonicist Secret Service, David Williams.

Government and political system

Administrative Divisions.
The government and political system is a democratic one, but during President Silverman’s reign, the country became dictatorial. The country is divided into several districts, and several autonomous regions, while the provinces are separated into smaller municipalities. The capital district is Luisiano, which is also the capital of Dimoniquid.

Districts
Argo
Baero
Careo
Derao
Luisiano
Luxemberg
Luzberg
Zergmano

Autonomous regions
Betten
Herg
Lergo
Samuel
Zemberg

In all districts, district council is elected every four years, and determined on seats by the population of each district. The resulting district council has the responsibility of overseeing the functioning of healthcare, education and law enforcement, with the ability to set its own regional taxes and manage federal funds. Municipalities in turn have their own governments, cooperating with the regional governments at all times to streamline the governing process.

Several rural municipalities, villages and small towns do not have their own governments. Instead, they are governed by their local police department. This is the norm in eastern and western Yeshin due to the municipalities' relatively isolated locations and access difficulties, and it also takes place in settlements with small-to-medium sized populations. The only exception to this rule are the cities of Yetra and Xair City and where by tradition its local police department holds authority and all candidates for the office of Mayor are police officers.

[Dimoniquid]

Political System.

Dimoniquid is a presidential nation, starting from when it was founded.

The Dimonicist Parliament holds the most authority over the Constitution of the Dimonicist Empire. The Parliament is responsible for choosing a head of Parliament, who then chooses the Parliament, which consists of fourteen people. There is no clear-cut separation between legislative and executive powers, which are shared by the Head of Parliament and the Parliament, while the judicial branch is completely independent and represented by the Supreme Court of the Dimonicist Empire. The Supreme Court of the Dimonicist Empire is made up of the three nation's Governments. Judicial review of proposed laws is compulsory.

Legislation can be initiated by either MPs or members of the government. MPs are elected using the proportional representation system for a mandate of four years, while Presidents are elected using the two-round plurality system. The President is mostly a ceremonial head of state with limited powers. Alterations to the Constitution of the Dimonicist Empire require full approval by of all MPs, a restriction which has led to very few such alterations being proposed and even fewer being accepted within the start of the nation.

The Government of Dimoniquid are as followed:

-President: Josh Barron
-Head of Parliament/Government: Alice Marshell
-Ministry for Interior Affairs: Joshua Krause
-Ministry for Finances: Gina Luthor
-Ministry for Foreign Relations: John Faulding
-Ministry for Defence: David Williams
-Ministry for Health: James Farwall
-Ministry for Justice: Lisa Hardey
-Ministry for Culture: Alyx Liberas
-Ministry for Environment: Samantha Longer
-Ministry for Education: Samuel Cook Harder
-Ministry for Transport: Klaus Heindrick
-Ministry for Tourism: Louie Lou
-Chief Representative of Parliament: Alonso Masa.

Elections in the Dimonicist Empire have been held every four years since 1987, with the President and the legislature being simultaneously chosen using a "double ballot". Dimonicist law specifies that all duties related to organising elections, collecting and counting the votes are performed by the Dimonicist Secret Service, assisted by electoral workers employed by the Ministry for Interior Affairs ,however, the electoral workers' presence is often limited, and it is not uncommon for some polling stations to lack them entirely. Citizens are only required to register once, and their name and data are preserved in the strictly protected National Voter Archives, with alterations only required if they move to a different municipality. Votes are conducted electronically, generally using an adapted DRE voting machine system - registered voters are issued special cards that they will introduce into the machine before casting their vote to confirm their identity. Internet voting is also widely used, while absentee voting is allowed through both postal voting and early voting. According to Goian electoral law, it is mandatory for all ballots cast in polling stations to be recorded in a so-called "paper trail" to prevent any attempts at fraud. The average amount of voters when needed to be voted are 87.21% of over eighteens.

Law Enforcement.

The Dimonicist Empire has created a Secret Service that helps detect fraud, although the different branches of Police force help control crime to a minimum.

Law enforcement in Dimoniquid falls largely under the juristdiction of the Ministry for Interior Affairs, but for practical purposes the entire apparatus is decentralized. The police forces are divided into several branches:

The uniforms, depending on which area they are stationed.


The National Police (NP) is the main police force of Dimoniquid, entrusted with the main duties of policing in the country, and with an estimated 2 million employees in total. Dimonquid is divided into various juristdictions, urban and rural, each of which has its own police department responsible for upholding the law in the area. In general, these juristdictions coincide with the extent of a city, a village or any otherwise census-designated settlement, with a high degree of coordination between the police departments various juristdictions. The NP frequently collaborates with the other branches of the police force, most of all with the elite counter-terrorist forces.


The riot police in uniform, without riot shield and tear gas.

The Riot Police, officially the Anti - Riot Public Control Force (ARPCF), was established in 1991 after the NP's handling to the Twin Tower disaster in 1990, when the NP forces didn't retaliated to several suicide bombers on board a military helicopter. The resulting investigative comission determined that the particular squad on board the helicopter were in a serious mental condition after being poisoned with their drinks. The ARPCF was established as a separate branch of the police force specially trained for terrorist situations and riots on air vehicles and land.


The Dimonicist Secret Service body operatives and armed guard

The Dimonicist Secret Service was founded when the former President Silverman began his reign of Dictatorship. Publicly they are only as body guards, although politically and militarily they are trained used as spies and operatives to gather information on warfare and scientific testing.

Military

The Dimonicist National Army (DNA), established in 1985, is under the authority of the Ministry for Defence, which has as its main responsibilities the operation of the armed forces of Dimoniquid in both peacetime and wartime. The armed forces are divided into Army, Air Force and Navy. The head of the armed forces is the Supreme Commander, the most senior officer in the country. The DNA relies mainly on a combination of special operations supported by chemical attacks with guerilla warfare tactics, and is famous for its ability to fortify and defend very difficult positions, a skill it has applied in the War of Jduail of 2009 and has rigorously trained in ever since.
