= Government =
=== Formation of the Padaic Republic ===
[[File:UR Gov.jpg|alt=Official Logo of the Federal Government|thumbnail|519x519px|Official Logo of the Federal Government]]
 
The organisation in charge of Federal matters is the Government of the United Republic. The government consists of a cabinet which holds the ministers and Prime Minister. The Prime Minister will appoint ministers in the cabinet to be in charge of certain portfolios and responsibilities. The Job of the Federal Government is to advise, lead, and guide the state governments.
==== The Withdrawl of Espen and Initial Founding ====
Shortly after the creation of Espen State, the Federal government underwent a large-scale streamline and reformation of the States of the United Republic. One of the reforms drafted was the dissolution of Espen state and it's merge with Usonia State. This reform was met with disagreement by Espen Governor CGH_2005. Seizing the opportunity, CGH_2005 decided that it would be a good time to form his own nation, the state of Espen officially split from the United Republic on the 16 July 2019. Initial relations between the United Republic and the newly formed Padaic Republic were considered peaceful and friendly.
 
==== The Withdrawl of Hylan ====
Shortly after the formation of the Padaic Republic, the state of Hylan withdrew from the United Republic to join the Padaic Republic. This was met with disdain from the Federal Government, and built upon existing and growing tensions with the state of Usonia and the Padaic Republic. This can be considered the point at which relations between the United Republic and the Padaic Republic went downhill. For a short period following this, the United Republic and the Padaic Republic were on more negative terms, however, there was no serious divide.
 
==== The Southern Marshia Dispute ====
In an effort to expand the United Republic navy, President _Travis commissioned the construction of Cavemaker naval base on the southern edge of the town of Marshia. President _Travis sought permission from marshy_88, who he considered the owner of Marshia to construct the base in that area. This permission was granted. Less than 24 hours later however, a message and request were sent from CGH_2005 claiming the land as his own and demanding the removal of the base. Following this President _Travis and CGH_2005 undertook negotiations to allow the continued construction of the base. During the course of these negotiations, the State of Usonia was officially withdrawn from the United Republic. By the end, CGH_2005 agreed to cede some of his claim to marshy_88 and _Travis on the condition that an embassy was to be built in Illemont by the 18th of August 2019. The embassy was constructed, and this was considered to be the end of matters. Following the withdrawal of Usonia, the city of Beechwood joined the newly formed state of Balboa, run by marshy_88.


=== Elections in the United Republic ===
==== The Transfer of Marshia  ====
The United Republic is a democracy, and therefore the Federal Legislature should be elected by the public, the president should be also. There are currently plans underway for the first general election. Elections in the United Republic are organised by the Federal Electoral Commission or FEC.
marshy_88, mayor of Marshia, claimed the city as his own and was adamant that it was placed under the control of the United Republic. Because of this request, President _Travis of the United Republic and President CGH_2005 of the Padaic Republic undertook bilateral talks to negotiate the transfer. The first treaty/agreement for this was presented by CGH_2005 on 8 August 2019. The terms of this were the following:
# The President Travis Center [a United Republic defence force office constructed by _Travis near the border with Porty Hylan in Beechwood] must not be visible from the streets of Port Hylan.
# The Phantom [Cavemaker] Naval Base must be removed, and/or have ownership transferred to the Padaics.
# The Marshia Warp Hall, mist keep CGH_2005 as the founder of Marshia. However, within the United Republic, Marshy may act as Governor.  
# CGH_2005 must be allowed to continue to build in the City of Marshia.
# The United Republic may not be allowed to build anything military around Port Hylan, Usonia, or Marshia.
# The Padaic Republic-Usonia Border must remain open.
# Travis must not alter builds by CGH_2005 without permission.
This agreement was quickly denied by President _Travis, as he felt that it was one-sided, targeted the Presidency. He especially took issue to the moving of the President Travis Centre and the demand that the United Republic cannot expand it's military. A number of attempted agreements following this failed. However a few days later, an informal agreement was decided upon, transferring Marshia to the United Republic on the condition that the Padaic Republic or the United Republic do not build more than 4 naval vessels in the Usonian Peninsula Area, and that the border was to be kept opening. This was agreed to by both sides, and is considered the last dispute.


In the United Republic, there are two types of Federal Elections; legislative elections and general elections. A legislative election is one that elects political parties to the federal parliament. A general election is a legislative election but also is an election for president. The legislative elections are held every second year, on even-numbered years. General elections are held every second year on odd-numbered years. The next planned general election is for May-June 2019.
==== Current Relations and the Union Bridge ====
Following this, as a sign of goodwill, President _Travis undertook the construction of the Union Bridge, connecting the United Republic at Beechwood and the Padaic Republic by road. This was agreed to by both sides, and the bridge was completed on the 15th of August 2019. Following this, relations between the United Republic and the Padaic Republic are considered friendly. The embassy in Illemont was completed and remains open.


==== 2019 General Election ====
== Flags of the United Republic ==
There are currently plans underway for a general election in May or June 2019. It is currently not known the exact dates and procedures of this election.
The United Republic has a number of official flags for varying purposes. The current flags are for civil, government and maritime use.

Formation of the Padaic Republic

The Withdrawl of Espen and Initial Founding

Shortly after the creation of Espen State, the Federal government underwent a large-scale streamline and reformation of the States of the United Republic. One of the reforms drafted was the dissolution of Espen state and it's merge with Usonia State. This reform was met with disagreement by Espen Governor CGH_2005. Seizing the opportunity, CGH_2005 decided that it would be a good time to form his own nation, the state of Espen officially split from the United Republic on the 16 July 2019. Initial relations between the United Republic and the newly formed Padaic Republic were considered peaceful and friendly.

The Withdrawl of Hylan

Shortly after the formation of the Padaic Republic, the state of Hylan withdrew from the United Republic to join the Padaic Republic. This was met with disdain from the Federal Government, and built upon existing and growing tensions with the state of Usonia and the Padaic Republic. This can be considered the point at which relations between the United Republic and the Padaic Republic went downhill. For a short period following this, the United Republic and the Padaic Republic were on more negative terms, however, there was no serious divide.

The Southern Marshia Dispute

In an effort to expand the United Republic navy, President _Travis commissioned the construction of Cavemaker naval base on the southern edge of the town of Marshia. President _Travis sought permission from marshy_88, who he considered the owner of Marshia to construct the base in that area. This permission was granted. Less than 24 hours later however, a message and request were sent from CGH_2005 claiming the land as his own and demanding the removal of the base. Following this President _Travis and CGH_2005 undertook negotiations to allow the continued construction of the base. During the course of these negotiations, the State of Usonia was officially withdrawn from the United Republic. By the end, CGH_2005 agreed to cede some of his claim to marshy_88 and _Travis on the condition that an embassy was to be built in Illemont by the 18th of August 2019. The embassy was constructed, and this was considered to be the end of matters. Following the withdrawal of Usonia, the city of Beechwood joined the newly formed state of Balboa, run by marshy_88.

The Transfer of Marshia

marshy_88, mayor of Marshia, claimed the city as his own and was adamant that it was placed under the control of the United Republic. Because of this request, President _Travis of the United Republic and President CGH_2005 of the Padaic Republic undertook bilateral talks to negotiate the transfer. The first treaty/agreement for this was presented by CGH_2005 on 8 August 2019. The terms of this were the following:

  1. The President Travis Center [a United Republic defence force office constructed by _Travis near the border with Porty Hylan in Beechwood] must not be visible from the streets of Port Hylan.
  2. The Phantom [Cavemaker] Naval Base must be removed, and/or have ownership transferred to the Padaics.
  3. The Marshia Warp Hall, mist keep CGH_2005 as the founder of Marshia. However, within the United Republic, Marshy may act as Governor.
  4. CGH_2005 must be allowed to continue to build in the City of Marshia.
  5. The United Republic may not be allowed to build anything military around Port Hylan, Usonia, or Marshia.
  6. The Padaic Republic-Usonia Border must remain open.
  7. Travis must not alter builds by CGH_2005 without permission.

This agreement was quickly denied by President _Travis, as he felt that it was one-sided, targeted the Presidency. He especially took issue to the moving of the President Travis Centre and the demand that the United Republic cannot expand it's military. A number of attempted agreements following this failed. However a few days later, an informal agreement was decided upon, transferring Marshia to the United Republic on the condition that the Padaic Republic or the United Republic do not build more than 4 naval vessels in the Usonian Peninsula Area, and that the border was to be kept opening. This was agreed to by both sides, and is considered the last dispute.

Current Relations and the Union Bridge

Following this, as a sign of goodwill, President _Travis undertook the construction of the Union Bridge, connecting the United Republic at Beechwood and the Padaic Republic by road. This was agreed to by both sides, and the bridge was completed on the 15th of August 2019. Following this, relations between the United Republic and the Padaic Republic are considered friendly. The embassy in Illemont was completed and remains open.
