Vostok

This page covers the history of the Vostok Republika after the second RandomSageless video took place.

Vostok, officially the Vostok Republika, is a nation located in eastern Sparwood. It’s one of the oldest democracies on Rathnir.

The country is famous for its troubled history, its unique culture, and its position as one of the most relevant and active nations on Sparwood.

Late History
In middle-late 2022, Vostok entered a period of deep inactivity, to the point that the only person in Vostok was the Kancelar, Wassennar. It remained dormant until November 2022, point in which RoboticAuthor came back and some new players joined, beginning the revival of Vostok. On the 18th of January 2023, Vostok joined Tortuga, due to the close ties both countries had. Vostok stayed partially active until the March 2023 elections, in which a citizen called Storm became Kancelar and a new citizen called Clom entered politics. Early on, Clom pushed various reforms into the state, of which the most important include:


 * 1) The making of a constitution.
 * 2) A reform of the government structure.

Storm also played a very important role, due to his more apolitical and liberal approach to leadership, in contrast with Wassennar, who was more conservative. He also made many reforms, which helped Vostok a lot.

In April, government officials begun to become nervous with Tortuga, due to their perceived losses against Valondor. After almost a week of debate and thorough thinking, they decided on April 8th 2023 to leave Tortuga and join Grand Castell-Llozhar as an autonomous province, due to their friendliness towards the Vostoki people.

On the same date the People´s Socialist Party was Offically established with the Top Candidate for the next Kancelar election LATENEIGHT. Also, the the Office of Baron was created on the April 10th 2023.

Government
Vostok is a Presidential Republic, and has been so since the very beginning. The government has seen several changes since its start, but it has stayed mostly the same, with small changes being made as time passes.

Executive Branch
The executive branch is led by the Kancelar, which is also the Head of State. He has many powers and duties, but the most important ones are:


 * The power to veto laws.
 * The duty to govern Vostok.
 * The power to command the army.
 * The power to do non-offensive diplomacy.
 * The power to assign ministers.

His main duty is to govern Vostok, with the help of his ministers, whom he appoints at will.

The Kancelar can also appoint a Komandante to lead the army, though it isn’t necessary since most of the time the army is led directly by the Kancelar.

Legislative Branch
The legislative branch is composed of the Saveta, which has the power to pass bills for them to be turned into law.

The Saveta is also responsible for approving/denying most decisions made by the Kancelar.
