'''Seifare''' (Seifégasque: ''Seiféri'' [seɪfareɪ]), formally the '''Principality of Seifare''', is an affluent sovereign microstate situated on the Feguanesian coast, within Ranga Bay and on the border of [[Fegeland]] and [[Algiza]]. It is home to 44,382 citizens, of which less than a third are Seifégasque nationals. Its capital and only settlement is [[Lotte Kyu]], a city recognised as one of the wealthiest places in the [[:Category:Celestial Bodies of the Kerbol System|Kerbol System]]. Seifare is an autonomous protectorate of [[Fegeland]] as a member of the Commonwealth of Feguanesia. Despite this, it has been controversially elected to the World Assembly Security Council. With an area of just 562km<sup>2</sup>, it is the smallest independent state on [[Kerbin]], and holds the highest GDP per Capita and highest GDP by Area in the world.

Seifare is constitutional monarchy, with the Sovereign Prince or Princess of Seifare as it’s head of state. For its entire existence, this ruling family has been the House of Resseiferi, a position ratified in the Treaty of Secession signed by Fegeland and Algiza, which states that should the Principality be left with no heir related by blood to the Tahuako-Pomare Dynasty, the land will after a period no greater than four years after the reigning Prince or Princess' death or abdication cede back to its original owners and the State of Seifare be dissolved.
  +
  +
Aside from the Prince or Princess of Seifare, the government has two other prominent positions: Minister of State, and Mayor of Lotte Kyu.
  +
  +
The executive branch of government is led by the Minister of State, a Seifégasque, Feguan or Algizan national who is personally appointed by the Prince for a three year term. A Minister can serve up to three terms, however in exceptional circumstances should the Prince of Seifare and Mayor of Lotte Kyu deem the serving Minister unfit they may be removed from their position prematurely.

  +
The street level affairs of the Capital and only city, [[Lotte Kyu]], are managed by the Mayor of Lotte Kyu, the only elected position in the government and the third most powerful office in the nation after that of the Prince and the Minister of State. The Mayor holds responsibility for public transport, waste management, port authorities, and the conservation of cultural sites.

Seifare is an autonomous protectorate of [[Fegeland]] as a member of the [[Feguanesia|Commonwealth of Feguanesia]]. Despite this, it has been controversially elected to the World Assembly Security Council. The Principality’s diplomatic outreach is limited, and most of its international interactions occur through state owned companies - but if approached and the terms are favourable, Seifare will nominally do business with any nation, anywhere. The position of Ambassador of Seifare is traditionally held by any one of the Prince or Princesses' children, however this role rarely takes them beyond [[Doren (continent)|Doren]] or the [[Central Sea]].

===Education===

Education is ubiquitous in Seifare. The state operates five nurseries, four primary schools, and one secondary school.

Historically, Seifare's main sources of income have been tourism, gambling, banking and investments. In 2146, the Principality began expanding the nation's business holdings at an unprecedented rate, entering the international market for the first time.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/KerbalPowers/comments/o8ccin/principality_of_seifare_announces_kolus/</ref> This aggressive growth was marked by the takeover of companies such as [[Takáura]] and [[SeifAir]]. Under the Principality these would develop strong positions in the global commericial aviation market and the air transport industry across Feguanesia respectively. This was followed soon after by the leasing of Wurati from the Sahr Republic Party, which signified an enormous effort to break into the global oil scene in a multinational partnership with the [[Laveska|Laveskan]] government. These intiatives were a significant change in the country’s economic policy and immense investments from the International Bank of Seifare.
  +
===Taxation===
  +
Seifare is a tax haven, which levies no personal income or corporate taxes on its citizens and businesses.
  +
===Transport===
  +
Air traffic in the Principality flows solely from Lotte Kyu Heliport, which despite its name possesses two small runways. Jet traffic is almost universally banned with the exception of very light executive aircraft to avoid noise disturbance. Most international travel into the Principality is instead conducted through Kantapuha'i Airport in [[Algiza]], from where taxis, buses or even helicopter rides can be taken into Seifare itself. Public transport in the form of buses, rental microcars, and electric bike borrowing schemes are available across the nation.
  +
===Energy and Infrastructure===
  +
Energy in the Principality is entirely imported from [[Fegeland]], mainly through [[Imperial Atomic]]. In the early 2120s, it briefly used the twin nuclear reactors of the [[AQN Erianna H. Kerman (ANV-85)|''Erianna H. Kerman'' (ANV-85)]] to partially power the microstate, but this scheme was abandoned by 2140 as the supercarrier's nuclear fuel depleted.
  +
Seifare is infrastructurally very well developed. Its services are densely packed and easily accessible.
  +
===Trade===
  +
Almost the entirety of Seifare is an urban area and land is prohibitively expensive, so the nation's agricultural output is effectively nonexistent. This leaves the limited fishing of Ranga Bay as its only considerable export. Many goods services throughout the nation are state held monopolies.

Seifare is constitutional monarchy, with the Sovereign Prince or Princess of Seifare as it’s head of state. For its entire existence, this ruling family has been the House of Resseiferi, a position ratified in the Treaty of Secession signed by Fegeland and Algiza, which states that should the Principality be left with no heir related by blood to the Tahuako-Pomare Dynasty, the land will after a period no greater than four years after the reigning Prince or Princess' death or abdication cede back to its original owners and the State of Seifare be dissolved.

Aside from the Prince or Princess of Seifare, the government has two other prominent positions: Minister of State, and Mayor of Lotte Kyu.

The executive branch of government is led by the Minister of State, a Seifégasque, Feguan or Algizan national who is personally appointed by the Prince for a three year term. A Minister can serve up to three terms, however in exceptional circumstances should the Prince of Seifare and Mayor of Lotte Kyu deem the serving Minister unfit they may be removed from their position prematurely.

The street level affairs of the Capital and only city, Lotte Kyu, are managed by the Mayor of Lotte Kyu, the only elected position in the government and the third most powerful office in the nation after that of the Prince and the Minister of State. The Mayor holds responsibility for public transport, waste management, port authorities, and the conservation of cultural sites.
