Its eastern most borders stretch to Strelka and The Vocavian parts of The Imperial Union

Etymology

Documented usage of the phrase "Central Kafrica" is derived from the Strelkan state of Middlekafrica, in order to distance the new budding republic from the oppressive Goverments of the 22nd and late 21st centuries, it was translated to the predominant local Koster language. The United States prefix of the nation's name is to denote the form of decentralized government.

History

This Article only serves to give a brief overview of the history of Central Kafrica, see the Main Article: History of Central Kafrica

Ancient Krome

Central Kafrica's history goes back to numerous Koster peoples, notably including the ancient Kromans who conquered the Kafraic Plain during the Bown Republic and ruled it for centuries during the Bown Empire.

Ancient Bown, a settlement on the Bown-Samwell plain, founded in 735 Before Kraken, was ruled for 325 years by a Kingdom which fell in 410 BK, with the creation of the Republic.

The Bown-Samwell plain was turned into a unified entity during Bownian expansion, the conquest of territories often to the expense of other Kafraic tribes, Comeri, Etisolani and Vocavii. A perminant association with most of the tribes and cities was formed, Bown began the conquest of modern day Grestin, giving the eternal city a buffer from invasions, further expanding into eastern Kafrica up to the river between Westray and Vocavium.

The Kroman Empire was among the largest ancient states, holding immense economic, political and military power over the ancient world.

Central Kafrica in the middle ages

Bordering the Holy Vocavian Empire, the region of Central Kafrica found itself fighting many decentralized border conflicts with itself and others outside the local region, with the memory of the old Bownian Empire still in the religious consciousness of the time, many civil wars were fought between local lords and their feudal overlords over joining the Empire. This is one of the factors in the Kafrican Schism in the 11th Century, where Rinn and Diosca would break away from the church in Windsteer, separating the eternal city of canfield from the political heartland.

Between the late 11th and early 15th centuries, the Holy Vocavian Empire would launch many crusades in the hope of returning the eternal city back under the empire's grip, however it would be pillaged and set aflame numerous times during this period, contributing to various mass famines in the region.

Lovatica

Lovatica was the first confederated state in the region known as Central Kafrica today, its economy was based on the price of the main crop, wheet. Documents from the former Lovatican Government which was seated in Bown show that Kerbals used Wheet as the nation's currency. Lovatica would collapse following a brief period of instability, where a Solarian Minmus native would take control of the government.

Krome

Main Article: Krome

Following the collapse of Lovatica, Rachel Kerman would found the 2nd Kroman Republic, running her government from its inception to her eventual assassination in 2098. Krome was considered a regional power however its diplomatic actions and diplomatic prerogatives were that of a global power, this would eventually cause the Balkanization of Krome.

Flag

The flag of Central Kafrica comprises of alternating green and white stripes. The Green stripes represent the five states which originally were apart of the Central Kafrican League; Rinn, Diosca, Samwell, North Comer and South Comer. The middle stripe represents the State of Rinn, from which the District of Rinn (SDRN) is derived. It is represented by the central diamond, comprised of a double chevron meeting in the middle. Each chevron on left and right, represents a state of Central Kafrica. Chevrons are added to the flag with each new state.

Government and Politics

The official Seal of the President of Central Kafrica (POCK)

The Central Kafrican Government is heavily based upon the system used in Krome, composed of multiple branches, the executive, the legislative and the judiciary. Each branch is separate yet still reports to the head of state, a president. It is seated in the Port city of Bown, located within the footprint of the old Kroman Citadel located there, which was destroyed by Middlekafrica.

The Executive

The Executive branch of Central Kafrican government is directly controlled by the President, who serves a 5 year term with a maximum of 10 years able to be served. Presidents are elected by state electors who are in turn elected by the people of each federal state of Central Kafrica. Each state elector is bound by the constitution to allocate their votes on a scale proportional to the popular vote for each party in their state. The President must pick a Vice President during their campaign, commonly called a joint ticket, should the President become incapacitated or deceased the Vice President will be sworn in as President either on a temporary basis or a permanent basis. The executive branch is assisted by various federal executive departments.

The Legislature

The Legislative branch is split into two houses collectively known as Congress, a Senate and a house of representatives with both houses being of equal power. In order for a bill to pass as an act of law it needs to be introduced by either the Senate or the House of Representatives, with a majority needed in both houses to pass legislation. If a bill does not pass one chamber of Congress, amendments will be bounced back and forth until either 4 failed votes to pass the bill or it is enacted by the signature of the President. The President holds a veto power that can be overruled by a supermajority of 75% in both houses to overrule the President, this power has never been used by the Central Kafrican legislature.

The Senate

The Senate is comprised of five members sent by each federal state of the Union, serving for 5 years, offset to 2.5 years after a Presidential Election in order to align with local house of representative elections

House of Representatives

The House of representatives is comprised of local congressional districts in which a singular candidate is elected per region, five of which get to serve in the Senate for their term in addition to being a Congressional Representative. The elections of Representatives is also offset by 2.5 years to the Presidential Elections.

The Judiciary

The Judiciary Branch of government is independent to both the legislature and the executive, it includes the Central Kafrican Bar Association in order to preserve integrity of its legal system, with previous nations being plagued by corruption and effective dictatorship, the Judiciary is given almost full power to arbitrate on legal or procedural issues, both in governance and in civil litigation. In order to effectively administer this responsibility, courts range from the Federal Supreme Court of Central Kafrica to the local township courts who have the authority to convict felony level offenses.

Subdivisions

The United States of Central Kafrica is currently comprised of eight states, and the district of Rinn. Each state may have its own separate legal code and constitution however it may not violate Federal Statues or the Constitution of the United States of Central Kafrica.
