History

Named after the Great Coral Sea, the first major coral sea-region before map expansion, and that most of the nation's claims laid on, Corallium was meant to establish a maritime state, in which a capital would be based on the Island of Prima. Following the belief by its earliest founders that Prima could not sustain a major city, a new location on the mouth of the Abbaccus River was chosen, and the city would become known as Albadia. This policy would later be reversed upon the transition from Provisional Council to United Republic and the subsequent inauguration of its first President on December 19, 2020. The Great Coral Sea was placed under a protective program under a joint-agreement between other nations, institutions, and Corallium. Known as the Great Coral Sea Conservation Organization, (GCSCO), battleships, trade-ships, and other large vessels or manmade island are restricted, as to both recognize the importance of the sea to most cities along its coasts, and to protect any corals from being destroyed.

The nation was founded in its earliest iteration on April 10, 2020 as the Republica Corallium, later becoming the Kingdom of Corallium. Following the Governor of Prima's Petition for Democracy, the first national vote was held and the monarch, with the promise of a provisional government abdicated. Following months of reform, the Kingdom transformed into its current form of government upon the election of the nation's first President. According to the official records of Corallium, held in the National Archives of the Mons Coralli, the seat of Government, the general governance information and time of each different system is as follows:

Organization

The modern state of Corallium, The United Republic of Corallium, is a Federal Presidential Constitutional Republic and a Representative Democracy. By definition, the President is both the Head of State and Government, while his Vice President, as outlined by the Presidential Line of Succession Act of the First Mons Coralli Congress, is the President of the Senate. Should the President resign or be incapacitated, the Vice President would be sworn in as their successor. Though, the Vice President may hold temporary presidential powers should the President endow them with it. The United Republic consists of several states, each headed by a Governor, all who act autonomously with their states in agreement with the Constitution and are represented in Congress in the Mons Coralli on the Island of Prima. The President has the ability to appoint a cabinet to manage the affairs of the various government departments—specializing in aspects that would make projects and the government unified and concise.
