Neubaykonia

Neubaykonia (previously known as Neupeykonia or Baykonian Neorathnir) is a nation residing in Eldham. It is notable for its population which consists of sentient pigs though since the creation of Neubaykonia there have been many different races of peoples joining the nation. Additionally, its state religion is unique in the form of Snoutiality, however other religions are freely allowed.

Early History
Many Baykonians swiftly had fled from Rathnir in an event known as the Great Baykonian Migration, and their leader, aptly named King Peg, started building New Salameberg and commissioned the creation of multiple cities to legitimize the Neubaykonian claims in Eldham.

On June 2nd, 2021, Neubaykonia held its first election, where both finalists for the position of Prime Minister of Neubaykonia had tied resulting in the establishment of there being two Prime Ministers.

On June 8th, 2021, the Neubaykonian government and the Wandenreich founded an economic alliance known as Econosude which was created to establish free trade throughout the South of Eldham.

On June 22nd 2021, Neubaykonia started a defensive alliance with the Wandenreich, Razuni and the USSE, named Southern Guard Bloc, as a way to stabilize its member states.

1st Crispy Bacon Era (July 7th - August 5th)
Mostly known for its modernization, the Crispy Bacon era is the time when Crispy_Bacon, the candidate of the Industrialist Party for the July elections, was elected as Prime Minister.

On July 6th 2021, they supplied the USSE in the Kunir War, due to their alliance and Newkunir violating the Treaty of Kamieniec and invading them just for the land, which was seen by the Neubaykonians as an imperialistic move.

On July 19th 2021, Atlechia, a squatter city in Neubaykonian territory, was invited to join Neubay, an invitation which they accepted, causing a boom in Neubay's population.

On July 25th, state of Neubaykonia would later join the Zamotz Union, after having spoken with Draphonaris and Okomi. This doubled the Zamotz Union's territory, and gave the union more influence in the region

Many states seceded from Neubaykonia, most well-known cases of states that went independent are Atlechia and Kastollia. All of the states that seceded so far are (in-order): Colony of Sclera (now Elatsania), Ravnican, Atlechia, Mt. Augusta and Kastollia. Which decreased the size of Neubaykonia to a quarter of its original size. This marked an end to the expansion, and worried Neubaykonians about Zamotz's approach to Neubaykonia.

Mobe Era (August 20th - September 23rd)
On August 20th 2021, the Neubaykonian wall began construction by a citizen of theirs, Biglrab wishing to prove himself as a worthy citizen. With permission from the government, marking the nation's border. This is directly after Atlechia seceded, proving it's importance to keep the country safe. However Neubaykonia continues to welcome visitors. The wall stopped construction after some disapproval by other citizens and officials. The wall covers the entire northern coastline, and still stands to this day.

Kuzinoan period (September 20th - November 1st)
The city of Kuzino was founded by Sir_Squidion and Maussiegamer and construction was helped by Swen. The town quickly grew, and relations between Kuzino and Neubaykonia appeared to be stable.

On September 25th, after some time, it was clear Kuzino's and Neubaykonia's relations began to suffer. The glorious party was created by Maussiegamer which searched to join Kuzino to Atlechia as a province within the Zamotz Union. There is general conflict between Atlechia, Neubaykonia and Kuzino to decide the status of Kuzino, which led to a scramble within Neubaykonia to begin becoming more active.

On October 20th, a treaty is finalized by Bjorgian, an Atlechian official, and a Neubaykonian official. which declared Kuzino a autonomous region within Neubaykonia. This meant that Kuzino has it's own government, and could create its own laws. This further escalated the situation between Kuzino and Neubaykonia, who was afraid of losing more land to Atlechia.

On October 23rd, Kuzino buys land from Neubaykonia in exchange for the integration of the Kuzino army in the Neubaykonian army and money, as well as the forfeit by Kuzino of the right to maintain fortresses, and other military installations. Kuzino also had the right to control their clay supplies, something which was in great demand in Neubaykonia. However, Kuzino continued to build it's large walls and turn the town into an impenetrable fortress. At this point relations between Kuzino and Neubaykonia began cool off, as both sides learnt to at least ignore each other.

On October 24th, it was decided by some Neubaykonian military officials to begin spying on Kuzino, for fear that war may eventually break out, it was felt that knowing the lay of the town would be important.

Seved Driets de Honse's Term (October 3rd - October 11th)
On the 3rd October an election was announced by the King. There were three parties running: The Tulipanist Party (led bySeved Driets de Honse), Glorious Party (led by Maussiegamer), and the Industrialist Party (led by Bacon). The winner of the election was Seved Driets de Honse of the Tylipanist party which was announced the following day. He came in with 30 points, followed closely by Bacon and Maussiegamer in a tie with 27. On the 11th October Seved Driets de Honse died of a stroke, prompting a new election to follow.

Renovation Era (October 15th - December 10th)
During this time the new election was taking place. The running parties were: the Tulipanist Party (lead by TheEwokMaster), Expansionist Party (lead by Gregarry), Industrialist Party (lead by Bacon). Their first speeches were announced on 15th October where they set out their party ideas. Between the first speeches and the announcement of voting multiple Q&As took place addressing current issues of the nation for instance how to introduce new players, relations with Kuzino, the economy, and events. On the 20th October, the final speeches were said as the election came to a close. This was the largest election to ever take place.

On the 18th October a new influx of people, Neubaykonia began planning to renovate some of the cities. New Salameberg was the first to begin renovations. Though it was still open for people to visit, shop and build in. Lots of the old buildings were taken down to make way for a new market place and other buildings. The bulldozing of buildings would pose some questions later on, however where authorized quickly. After a while of arguments between Neubaykonia and Atletchia, it was decided to hold a 2v2 duel between Shadow988 and King Swen. The duel was to calm the anger between both parties and was to be held 8th November 4pm EST, however it was later canceled.

On the 21st October the election result were announced. In first place came Gregarry of the Expansionist Party and was appointed as the Prime Minister of Nuebaykonia. Second place was Bacon of the Industrialist Party and he was appointed the Deputy-Prime Minister.

On 22nd October Neubaykonia signed a peace treaty with one of it's cities Kuzino allowing it to become a semi-autonomous city, however, still under the rule as well as other conditions on the treaty. Since their new president Gregarry was elected Neubaykonia has signed for peace with Kuzino, began massive renovations in it's cities, especially New Salameberg and is becoming a more stable nation. Their army and economy were increasing too. This period is arguably one of Neubaykonia's greatest points in time. The Monarch, biglrab, says that Gregarry was one of the best prime ministers the nation had ever seen.

Falling down (December 20th - January 10th)
December 20th, the

Okomi Prime ministership ( January 11th - March 19th)
Triumvirate of Zamotz Union because Baykonian Prime Minister for a while. Not much happened. Mt Augusta was officially dissolved into Baykonian Commonwealth.

Disagreements Rising (March 20th - March 31st)
With the end of Okomi's terms as Prime Minister, Crispy Bacon and many in the higher ups of the Baykonian governments through this period had long arguments around how best the country should deal with problems facing it and the fundamental problems faced by it such as the combative attitude to changes by its protectors such as with the Zamotz Aristos merger where many high in the government considered secession without maintenance of status quo and autonomy despite Neubaykonia's lacking military. Crispy Bacon encouraged final Prime Minister of Zamotz Union to give Baykonia an ultimatum of centralisation or get out. This request never materialised into anything and only fuelled splits between Bacon and some others in the Baykonian Cabinet. Coming to a head on the 1st of April.

The Baykonian Reformation/ Eastern Baykonian Rebellion (1st of April - Ongoing)
One the 1st of April 2022, Ex-Prime Minister of both Neubaykonia and the Zamotz Union Crispy Bacon declared a state of hostility between his town Nueva Orloins and the rest of Neubaykonia. Starting The Baykonian Reformation/ Eastern Baykonian Rebellion depending on who you asked. Aiming to achieve a overhauled Neubaykonia by rebuilding the Baykonian Culture, the end of the Neubaykonian Conservatism and Pacifism. On April 4th once it was established this was not a joke the Baykonian Free Army sought recognition from Aristos-Zamotz on the basis that Neubaykonia was leeching off the union. This was rejected but the Union decided to not get involved in Neubaykonian internal matters. Neubaykonia declared a state of war on the Free Army declaring them "squatters". The battle is scheduled to take place on the 15th of May.

Government
The government of Neubaykonia is a constitutional monarchy, with elections every month and an elected Prime Minister whose term will last for one month before it is turned over and voting begins again. The monarchy is lead by the king, Biglrab. The current prime minister is Hubert P. de Honse.

In each election party's are voted for by the citizens, in a rating system where each contestant is voted by 1st 2nd 3rd level of preference. 1st preference gives the most points, 2nd slightly less etc. The points are tallied up and the person with the most points is the prime minister. A prime ministers term lasts 1 month.

The deputies are a group of people who each represent a town in Neubaykonia, these towns must be of a certain size. Each contestant may only represent 1 town, and can therefor only register under one town. The citizens of Neubaykonia then vote on whom they think is the best deputy. Unlike the prime minister, the deputies use a simpler, whoever gets the most votes wins system. The deputies have the responsibility to choose new ideas and vote on them, both the king and prime minister must have their ideas voted on by the deputies before being introduced permanently. A deputies term lasts 1 month.

There is a religious representative within the Chamber of Deputies who is the prime representative of the state religion Snoutiality. At the time of writing, this is St Pigmast.

The king/queen is voted on by the deputies into power, and he/she can also be dethroned by the deputies if need be. A monarch's term lasts forever, however their relatives may also take the throne if the old monarch dies or decides to leave the throne unless the king/queen is dethroned by a deputy vote. There can be up to two monarchs, called diarchs. One manages the Baykonian domnate in Rathnir, and the other in Eldham. However this system has been abandoned since Peg I died, and now a single Monarch is on the throne.
