The Just Monocratic Commonwealth of Consigahria and the Vermillion Plantations (also commonly known as the Just Monocracy of the Consigahrian Commonwealth, by its simple name Consigahria, and colloquially as the Aria) is a world benchmark for its internment camps turned monk-filled monasteries, pristine black-sand beaches, and expansive range of environments, as well as its citizens' overt sexuality, civil versatility, and lush native cuisine. Ruled by Prime Minister Chrysanthos Isabella Moshe Davis XIV with an even hand, the Jewish nation has been ruled by the Davis Royal Family since its federation.

A gargantuan democratic constitutional and parliamentary autocracy, Consigahria is renowned in its region for its compulsory youth fighting academies, compulsory five-year military service, national health service, and its national police agency, Consigahria is Spiritus' most populous nation, second biggest trade leader behind Pixelpark, and largest contributor to the gross regional domestic product. Consigahria is most notable for its ubiquitous missile silos which easily blend in to the cities which surround them, and for its its laws allowing public nudity but not public indecency.

Consigahria is a strikingly beautiful nation of clear skies and pristine beaches which gives one an overwhelming sense of healthiness due to the fairly heavy governmental contributions to the Environment. While Consigahria has not neglected its Defence budget completely, the army is frequently spotted picking up trash along the highways as school children are shuttled around in re-purposed personnel carriers. The Art of the Trade is a revered tome in Consigahria, where anyone and everyone from the government to the man on the street has something to buy, sell or trade in this nation dedicated to Commerce. Planes, Trains and Automobiles dominate Consigahria's well-funded Public Transportation system touted by many as some of the most reliable around.

Its crowded, primarily isolationist population of 22,354,971,820 (twenty-two-billion three-hundred-fifty-four-million nine-hundred-seventy-one-thousand eight-hundred and twenty) people are fiercely patriotic and enjoy some social equality; they have some civil rights, but not too many, and enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like (to a point). The blunt, compassionate, hard-working people are ruled by a sleek, efficient government which has taken steps to eradicate its corporate thumbnail, while companies flee the nation rather than pay their fair share of taxes. While living a healthy lifestyle is somewhat of a priority in Consigahria, it is not the only game in this nation where HealthCare receives only cursory funding.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vermillion. Consigahria's national animal is the raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Judaism, and its currency is the ruice. Martial law is currently in effect in this nation.

With over 42% of the entire regional population within its borders, Consigahria is the most populous nation in Spiritus, and ranks among the top 1% of nations in the world for largest populations.

Recent News

Following a series of earthquakes, three tsunamis, and a large-scale oil spill along the southeastern coastline in May, 2136, almost all of Consigahria's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, and eminent domain has been abolished. It is illegal for police officers to carry out impromptu searches due to strict privacy laws, tourists are forbidden to enter Native Consigahrian lands, and belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace'. Punitive tariffs have been implemented to protect local industry, as the number of students attending university has reached a record high. The newly introduced Consigahria Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually, while those near the tracks complain about the noise. The government is rumored to hire body doubles whose full-time jobs are to cry at public events; Denali eagles with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped; surrealist houses shaped like mushrooms and volcanoes dominate the wealthiest neighborhoods; and several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation following the decriminalization of animal experimentation.

Public nudity is sometimes compulsory when the climate shifts in order to allow it; circumcision is frowned upon and outlawed; nontraditional matryoshka dolls are frowned upon; artists are the pillars of society; oil executives can be seen reluctantly cleaning oil-soaked birds; raven hunting as a sport has been outlawed; and UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news. All-natural foods are a major fad; and all beauty contests have been banned. Reporters often lose their jobs over fact-checking errors; the state pays for care of easily preventable illnesses; voting has become a way of life; Vermillion City is a police state during international war; and new parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list. Most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists; recruitment posters proclaim the army to be both fabulous and fashionable; and college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, while candy-slinging children as young as 8 years old can be found smoking tobacco and cannabis cigarettes in public in the ghettos of large cities.

Since martial law went into effect in March, 2136, due to recent legislation in Consigahria, there have been over 48,000 military-related deaths, over R$17 million in property damage, and more than 7,000 arrests. As per regional law, CS and riot police patrol all major streets by foot and all minor streets by helicopter; the number of thefts, murders, and arrests for public indecency have skyrocketed; and due to cemetery overpopulation, cremation for the recently deceased has become legally compulsory.

The government has instituted 'traveler reservations' across the country; and the government has restricted access to large areas of the nation, mostly forest. New safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Consigahria to be bombproof; industries seem to be given tax breaks seemingly for no reason; the state pays for care of easily preventable illnesses; and while the mining industry has taken a hit from tighter environmental regulations, automobile manufacturing and other industries have seized the fleeting opportunity to take the national spotlight.

In February, 2148, a controversial succession to the throne took place as Prime Minister Davis XI's eldest daughter filled his shoes as the first female Prime Minister in the nation's history.

Geography

Consigahria's tallest peaks, in Denali National Park located in the center of the mainland, and its surrounding forest and meadows which stretch across five of eight territories.

Consigahria is placed on the northwestern coast of Spiritus' largest island (Consigahria considers this island Spiritus' mainland), facing the Vermillion Sea and more westwardly the North Pacific Ocean. To its eastern border is the Federation of Wuufu. Across the ten-mile-wide Voya Straight to the south is the Dictatorship of Skanes.

Consigahria is divided into nine provinces called territories which the government delineates by mostly straight borders. They are named as follows from east to west, from north to south: Buyou Island Territory; Haruji Island Territory; Vermillion Territory; Capitol Territory; Soho Territory; Pincock Territory; Koyoumaru Territory; Voya Territory; and Brasili Territory.

It's satellite colonies exempt, Consigahria's mainland is about 6,200 miles from east coast to west, and about 3,500 miles from north to south, comprising 76% of its entire landmass. The easternmost point on Buyou Island, Buyou Island Territory, is temperate forest, and Providence and Kaede Islands in the same territory are renowned paradises. Further west lies the basic outline of the mainland, which, save for its connection to Wuufu and the northern peninsula of Koyoumaru Terr., is crowded beach; and as you travel further inland into Vermillion Territory, the landscape becomes sandier and sandier and the population sparser and sparser, but as it becomes less and less humid, the sand dissipates into rural hills and valleys of temperate chaparral and colder-atmospheric swamps and forests. Even further inland is the chilly Central Consigahrian Mountain Range, a large part of Denali National Park. Devoid of permanent human residence, Denali National Park is comprised of flowery meadows, forests, and snowy hills and glaciated mountains, as well as small, sparse villages. Further east in and past Soho Territory are snow-capped peaks and hilly, mountainous landscapes, valleys, and plains which contain more concentrated populations. The tallest mountain is 30,560-foot-fall Mt. Perseverence in south central Pincock Territory's expanse of its Denali National Forest, a dormant stratovolcano which hasn't erupted since 1634.

Background, right, from left to right: the Cogswell Building, the Reese Building, the Staves Building; the Cratsk Building (white tapering top).

Vermillion (east) and Haruji Island (west) Territories are separated by the Seppuku River, which spans for only five or so miles (eleven at its highest on record), met at either end with the North Pacific Ocean. Vermillion (west) and Soho Territories (east) are separated by a 130-meter riverbed that is the Penchariot River, which spans 120 miles short of the entire height of the nation, met at the southern border with the North Pacific Ocean. Domestically, the word "river" is removed from these rivers' titles, because they are so notorious for rising during flood seasons in excess of forty meters, physically dividing the nation. The Seppuku has faded entirely several times in the nation's history, documented in ancient Consigahrian folklore, but this occurs sporadically and only during dry seasons, so it's awkwardly common for a citizen who doesn't live in proximity to it to live his entire life without ever seeing it as it flows.

The southernmost peninsula of Vermillion Terr. is Capitol Territory, which is entirely comprised of Vermillion City's numerous and diverse suburbs. Capitol Territory was the last territory to gain some political independence despite Vermillion City having been anchored there since the nation's antiquity--Vermillion City's downtown area, modern day towns of Coaxie and Phados, were the first towns to disambiguate themselves from the rest of Vermillion City by refuting the compulsory nudity law in 1918, a story yet to be told. When Vermillion City was consolidated as a metropolitan area and partitioned into towns in 1922, the towns lost most of their political independence yet were allowed to remain clothed, because clothing proved to be a (somewhat) profitable industry.

With a population of over 1 billion, a Consigahrian colony has founded its own nation within the confines of the islands seized by the Consigahrian federal government from Brasilistan during the war. However, as they are their own nation, while each citizen is automatically granted status as a Consigahrian citizen, they are not counted in the national population but are instead recognized as an autonomous, independent nation. However, the islands claimed by Consigahrian Brasilistan are possessions of the homeland contractually for political and military reasons.

Koto, Pincock Territory

In order from largest to smallest, major public areas are Tanahog (Vermillion Terr.), Koto (Pincock Terr.), Vermillion City (Capitol Terr.), Enryuu (Voya Terr.), Dockmackie (Pincock Terr.), and Konomahamaru (Koyoumaru Terr.). Consigahria's smallest populated area is Parich Island (pop. 1 person) off the east coast of Voya Territory.

Buyou Island Territory comprises Buyou Island, the Providence Islands (North and South Providence Islands), and Kaede Island.

Vermillion, Soho, Pincock, Koyoumaru, and Voya Territories comprise the mainland; and Buyou and Haruji Island Territories comprise the Ryu'ujou Islands.

Voya and Koyoumaru Territories compete for largest territorial landmass, but Koyoumaru trumps its younger sister territory by 1,200 square miles.

Consigahria has 42 populated islands near its mainland. Following its 2136 acquisition of the island nation Brasilistan, the nation added to its total 1,241 islands. Consigahria as a whole has 3,283 islands.

Consigahria's mainland as a whole is 2,875,000 square miles in area. Including its islands, but not including its colony, Consigahria has a total landmass of 8,806,709 square miles.

Economy

The frighteningly efficient powerhouse Consigahrian economy, worth over an unmatched 5,372 trillion ruices a year, is driven mostly by government activity. The extremely specialized industrial sector is mostly comprised of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Manufacturing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. In January, 2137, the Consigahrian economy generated 78.07% of the entire gross regional domestic product, ranking among the top 0.5% of the world for economies and top 3% of the world for economic output.

As of February, 2148, documented average income is an amazing 240,347 ruices, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 986,458 per year while the poor average 38,662, a ratio of 25.5 to 1.

Taxation

Taxation differs in Consigahria than in most other democracies. Citizens pay property tax, income tax, and sales tax per paycheck. From 2120 throughout most of 2136, the wealthy paid more tax than the middle and lower classes. As of December 12th, 2136, all working class citizens pay the same flat tax rate.

Income tax is legally defined as a percentage of the amount of money earned by each employee which is kept in a bank paid to the federal government, or in other words the amount of money that employers are required to take from their employees' paychecks and pay to the federal government for public spending before paying each employee. Legally speaking, money is only regarded as spendable in this context only if stored within a wallet (or similar), safe (or similar), or a bank; and money which is stored lawfully within a private safe registered with the federal government cannot be taxed. It is unlawful to evade taxation; if you work, you must pay income tax. All working citizens are required to report their earnings to the government yearly; and fraud is easily detectable and punished severely. However, money that is stored unlawfully, such as money hidden in a mattress (embezzlement), or within an unregistered safe (concealment), can be taxed if not revoked altogether. In an operation called cleaning money, the federal government dumps all unlawfully stored money back into the nation's highly efficient black market. Property tax works the same way.

As of February, 2148, the average income tax rate is 1.8%.

Trade

Foreign trade

As of March, 2137, Consigahria imported NS$108 trillion worth of product and exported NS$110.682 quadrillion, generating a trade surplus of NS$2.197 trillion (R$4.3 trillion). Consigahria exports firearms, bullets, firearm accessories, petroleum and petroleum products, film and film products and accessories, diamonds, various fruits and vegetables, gold- and diamond-encrusted furniture, wind turbines and accessories, horse carriages, bicycles, scooters, and more.

For those in the know, there is a highly efficient (and technically illegal) black market which the government chooses to ignore, mostly because it contributes to the GDP. About 2-63% of the black market contributes to the nation's export ratings annually.

Before its natural disasters in 2136, Consigahria was among the lead traders in the region; but after, it began to have a growing trade deficit. As of October, 2136, it had a trade deficit of NS$1.6 trillion per day. As a result, printing of paper money and creation of coins in Consigahrian currency was suspended.

No more than two months later, the nation recovered and began to export more and more. As of December, 2136, the nation carries a trade surplus of NS$9.28 trillion (R$4.87 trillion), a rise of over 1,491% from the previous year.

As of March 10th, 2137, Consigahria was succeeded as regional trade leader by Pixelpark; and the government stopped making regular monthly reports.

Domestic trade

Slave trade

In February, 2137, slave trade was legalized with provisions. At first, there was mass confusion in most of the nation. Anybody who is a certified citizen of Consigahria is ineligible to be a slave, and anybody who is of a noble family is also ineligible. It is specifically illegal to take or purchase a slave without that person's intent, whether it happens within Consigahria's borders or not, consequently ending in that slave's work for a citizen of Consigahria.

In late February, 2137, 58-year-old Hadassah Macy and his sons Braidy (age 17) and Justice (age 18) successfully incapacitated and detained 38-year-old Alim Kamal Abdulrashid and his 16-year-old daughter Ruba (Ruba Khadija Abdulrashid), placing them in the bay of a horse carriage trailer, hitched on the rear of a pick-up truck. Abdulrashid's 36-year-old wife Sahar (Sahar Ruya Abdulrashid) died trying to save them. After their abduction, Abdulrashid and daughter were taken to upscale Kent, Vermillion City, a mountainous high-class residential area.

Macy's family lived on a 3,200-acre property in a three-story seven-bedroom house. His wife Sarah remained unemployed all throughout their 32-year marriage, because Hadassah's entrepreneurship made enough money to afford the bills and much more. However, Braidy and Justice, subjected to homeschooling instead of mainstream public schooling for all of their lives, were going to college in Vermillion City soon, and in order to secure it, Hadassah had paid upwards of R$550,000 for each son's education in just a few months, half of his yearly salary. If his 17-year-old daughter is accepted into the same college, he will inevitably write another check for R$277,000; and less than a decade later, if his 15-year-old daughter Aureliana goes to the same college, he will write another exorbitantly-priced check; and the same in the case of his 12-year-old daughter Sylvianne. He will have paid in total an estimated R$1,385,100 for all the education of all of his children, a million-dollar expense on top of his normal living expenses. To supplement, he has two choices: hire slave labor to replace his family's cook and maintenance crews, or blindly begin black market trading.

From February to late March, 2137, Abdulrashid and daughter experienced inexplicable tortures, including sodomy, forced marriage, rape and insemination, and the castration of Abdulrashid himself. On March 20, 2137, to the horror of impregnated daughter Ruba, Alim Kamal Abdulrashid was shot and killed by Justice Macy for the attempted murder of Hadassah Macy. The police were called to the scene, and Ruba Abdulrashid was set free and taken to Vermillion Metropolitan Interregional Hospital, fortified after the previous natural incidents and terrorist attacks.

Justice Macy was tried for the murder of Abdulrashid, but was acquitted on the grounds that he was defending his father's life, who was badly beaten but lived to tell the violent tale. However, the Macy family was tried for illegal procurement of slaves, illegal facilitation of slave labor, and the murder of Sahar Ruya Abdulrashid, and were found guilty of all charges. Despite his argument that the decriminalization of slave ownership meant that his forcible taking of a slave was a legal act, for the capital felony of murder of an illegally procured slave, Justice Macy was sentenced to death by lethal injection. A Vermillion City Supreme Court reinforced the Prime Minister's previous ruling, that "it is specifically illegal to take or purchase a slave without that person's intent, whether it happens within Consigahria's borders or not, consequently ending in that slave's work for a citizen of Consigahria" (P.M. Davis-Hobbes XI, 12 March 2137). For the felony of illegal procurement of slaves and illegal facilitation of slave labor, Hadassah & Sarah Macy were each sentenced to 45 years of federal imprisonment with no chance for parole. For accessory to capital felony, Braidy Macy was sentenced to lifetime federal imprisonment with possibility for parole after 25 years. Ruba, Aureliana, and Sylvianne were ordered into the custody of the state.

History

The history of Consigahria is a 368-year-old story of war, natural disaster, terrorism, and how a collective intelligence triumphed over its worst adversaries. It goes through 14 Prime Ministers, a series of wars, two earthquakes and a tsunami, and a burgeoning forest after near complete nationwide deforestation.

Consigahria was confederated on the date of November 6th, 1780, by Cornelius Davis I and his crew. It began as a dictatorship, and slowly morphed into the parliamentary democracy we see today. Three eras brought forth the weapons and tools of the nation's intelligentsia through no less than hard work and determination through failure.

1808 brought the Era of Democratization, in which Davis II confessed to the murder of his father, and promised to bring peaceful reign to the sprawling nation.

2007 brought the Feudal Era, in which Consigahria's western territories completely seceded from the nation, and then the two temporarily conjoined to do glorious battle. In 2014, West Consigahria fell to its knees.

2135 brought the Consigahrian-Brasilistani War. Brasilistan was decimated, and partitioned out to nations around the world. Consigahria, of course, got the largest slice of the proverbial pie.

And finally, 2148 brought about the Era of the Oligarchy, where everyone is experiencing the benefits from its economic boom.

Culture

Consigahrian people, also known as Native Consigahrians, are a very musical, loving, friendly, open, charitable, accepting Jewish people whose generations have resided in Consigahria since before its federation. The majority of Consigahrians are tan- or dark-skinned, while less than half are of Caucasian ancestry. Racism exists between the non-mixed Caucausian and Black communities, and less between the Black and Latino communities. People who are frugal are seen as corrupt and are generally put down in the media, although these are the country's most renowned civilians and business owners.

Government

Consigahria is operated entirely by its government, called the First Legislature of Consigahria, or simply the First Legislature. The First Legislature has the power to create and enforce laws, but does not have the power to reverse a Prime Minister's veto or any past veto. The First Legislature is divided into two groups which serve two different purposes. One half, the Parliament, controls lawmaking processes by determining constitutionality of individual justice's legal decisions. In other words, the entire Parliament can veto one justice's ruling unanimously. The other half, the Representative Assembly (often abbreviated as RA), creates laws as necessary by individual trials, and each ruling is preserved until later challenged and reversed, or until stricken out by a Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister has the power to create, destroy, and enforce laws; create, limit and destroy organizations of all kinds; and to regulate the Parliament and RA. The Parliament, a group of ten hand-chosen individuals elected from the territories, also has the power to create laws; but the Representative Assembly, a group of 150 individuals hand-selected by the Prime Minister and by Prime Ministers past, are responsible for amending laws which require amendment by unanimous vote. The Prime Minister does not have the right to directly influence tax rates or percentages as it pertains to the national monetary systems. The Prime Minister has the right to declare war and civil war, and also has the right to execute anybody in his jurisdiction without trial or reason, though the Parliament decided in 1901 that the Prime Minister must indicate a "proper reason ... before the execution takes place, or he may be impeached and replaced."

The monetary system is highly monitored. There is an undisclosed but specific amount of bills and coins that are supposed to be in circulation around Consigahria and in foreign trade. If at any point there's an inconsistency, it's recorded and tracked by a government agency and resolved legally. The stock market and value of the ruice is monitored daily by the National Financial Association, a corporation directly underneath the nation's Minister of Finance.

Consigahria is currently under martial law.

Spending

Consigahria is a scholarly bastion of learning and reason, comprised of intelligentsia who rank themselves by the number of their university degrees. Consigahria, while not completely neglecting its less fortunate citizens, contributes a paltry amount of its budget to Welfare. Consigahria, never a nation to be overly concerned with Administration, nonetheless, has a small cadre of administrators, bookkeepers, accountants and pencil-pushers on the payroll to keep things running smoothly. While there is some sense of Social Equality in The Just Monocratic Commonwealth of Consigahria, the government does not concentrate much of its time or budget on it leaving many out in the cold on social initiatives like education and employment. Consigahria is a strikingly beautiful nation of clear skies and pristine beaches which gives one an overwhelming sense of healthiness due to the fairly heavy governmental contributions to the Environment. The Consigahria Defence Forces are neither paltry nor overwhelming in this nation that can defend itself against even formidable foes. The trade of goods, services, information, money, anything, in Consigahria is an all-consuming activity for most of the population due to the government's insistence on concentrating on Commerce. The literacy rate in The Just Monocratic Commonwealth of Consigahria is nearly 100% due to the government's complete dedication to Education and the funding thereof. Public Transportation in Consigahria, while adequate, is a low priority in governmental budget discussions, where most attendees arrive in their state-issued personal vehicles. The HealthCare system in Consigahria is all-encompassing and permeates most facets of life incorporating everything from wellness to well-being, from exercise to employment, from scoop to nuts and most things in between. Not everyone in Consigahria is a police officer or a lawyer, but a lot of citizens are in this nation that has more than a passing interest in Law and Order.

Public healthcare

There are several interregional hospitals which are the second, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth largest hospitals in all of Spiritus. The first (in second place) is Vermillion City Metropolitan Interregional Hospital, which has over 150 locations in Capital Territory alone. The second (in fourth place) is Voya Hospital Group (VHG), which has over 120 locations across Voya Territory.

Public education

In Consighria, education is extremely specialized, and the government funds 100% of public schools and 40-67% of private schools. Education is compulsory at the elementary and lower secondary levels. Most students attend public schools through the lower secondary level, but private education is popular at the upper secondary and university levels.

Education prior to elementary school is provided at children halls, preschools, and some places of worship.

Preschool is about elementary literacy skills, like phonetics and other basics. Elementary school is about other elementary skills, like basic mathematics, basic language skills, team sports exercises, and recreational skills. Middle school is about advanced proficiency in these, and introduction of sciences, a multitude of jobs, and liberal arts. (First year middle school students must take anatomy and physiology, a single course; second year students must take psychology; and third year students must take a higher-ranked science, such as chemistry or botany, the choice being that of the student.) High school is about specialization in a certain trade, or certain trades. In high school and universities, the average student will show advanced proficiency in written and spoken English as well as their native language(s); basic proficiency in a secondary language; will specialize in a science; will be artistically inclined in some way; will show basic proficiency in team sports; and will show basic proficiency in human anatomy. Throughout middle and high school, Consigahrian and world history is taught.

Children either go attend secular public school or religious public schools through middle school.

Classes available to the average high school student include, but are not limited to, metal workshop, wood workshop, automotives, electronics, computer science, music theory, music composition, creative writing and prose, calligraphy, geology, geography (in particular, advanced courses), algebra, geometry, calculus, and more.

Parliament

Consigahria's Parliament has the right to create laws and settle federal-level lawsuits based on their constitutionality. The Parliament created the nation's constitution, the Consigahrian Federal Body, shortly after the ratification of the Vermillion Treaty.

See Federal and territorial laws of Consigahria for a complete list of laws.

Politics

Politics in Consigahria are held on a very tight leash. The Prime Minister is presented with a few daily RA trials on which there are no legislation. The Prime Minister helps to creates laws in this way; he decides what is best, and his decision is referenced in law forevermore, until a successor imposes a contradictory law which negates the previous. As he does this, the Representative Assembly immediately nips unnecessary addenda in the bud.

The decisions are generally made in either a father-knows-best decision-making process or one which benefits everybody in the long term. Prime Ministers Davis 2-9 have worked very hard to make Consigahria the place it is today through its extensive legislation.

Elections

Citizens are granted every ten years with official polls, called ballots, on which they indicate in pen which representatives they want representing their area in the Representative Assembly. The representatives which appear on the ballot are hand-chosen by the Head Minister of Law and Order.

It began months before the nation's federation, when some citizens rebelled violently against the dictatorial government and were executed on the spot for treason. After this act, Dictator for Life Cornelius Davis I was assassinated in his personal chamber by his security guards, who were ordered to commit the act of treason secretly by the Dictator's son. The Dictator's successor promised one day elections would be widespread in the nation.

Today, citizens are allowed to participate in elections, although not too many.

High police ratios in urban areas

History

In 1906, there was a 12:1 police ratio, and 80% of homes in Vermillion City were burned and their residents shot for an attempted revolution, one that would have murdered seven billion more people, that Division didn't want to happen. With the Prime Minister's permission, these homes and lives were destroyed. The city was rebuilt larger and larger in symbolism of the prosperous relationship between the Consigahrian government and its constituents. In 2131, 17 million homes in Tanahog were ransacked by police in search of a terrorist; 8.2% of its residential district was ravaged, leaving another three percent terrified.

In 2135, a survey showed the police to citizen ratio was 9:2. In January 2137, another survey showed the police to citizen ratio was 4:7.

Capital Punishment

In 2023, the government began to use public beatings as deterrents for breaking the law, and it was very effective. These beatings would be carried out by police and government agents that worked directly with the public. Minors would not be beaten, however, and would instead simply either face their own parents or incarceration. Adults would be regularly beaten near or in the place where their crime occurred. Justices (judges) do not decide whether a person is beaten, but can decide whether a person dies for their crime. Therefore, most theft is usually armed, or explosive, and sporadic.

Murder in itself has not been legally defined as a crime that deserves the death penalty. If a person murders and in the same moment is murdered themselves, the murderer's death is legally justifiable, and his killer is a hero. However, if the murderer kills, steals a car, and then a random individual blindsides him at 80 miles per hour and kills him that way, unless he willfully killed the murderer specifically for his crimes, his death is not legally justifiable. If the murderer leaves the scene of the crime, he cannot be killed; he must be arrested and tried before a jury, and subsequently sentenced to 25 to 50 years in territorial prison (if the murder he committed was unarmed) or federal prison (if armed).

Theft in itself has also not been legally defined as a crime deserving death. If a person breaks into a house (legally, burglary), whether he has stolen a valuable item (legally, theft) or not, and the patriarch of the house shoots him with a shotgun and wounds or kills him, the wounding or death of the thief is legally justifiable. However, if the thief is shot off of the man's property, his death is not legally justifiable. In the case that a thief actually escapes the man's premises, the man is not allowed to send someone from his house to hunt the thief down (legally, criminal endangerment), but legally may do it himself; moreover, if the thief was armed and had fired a shot before his escape, anybody walking down the street may subdue him for as long as they don't handcuff, kill, mortally wound him, or beat him while he is unable to defend himself. In this case, as in any, the police should be called to the scene of the crime in order to conduct an investigation and place under arrest and/or flog anybody who has broken any laws. Misdemeanors deserved no more than ten flogs, and felonies no more than 100.

In 2136, the laws regarding public floggings came under fire through tens of court cases. Eventually, Prime Minister Davis XI would outlaw it. Before it became a criminal act for the police to beat citizens who broke the law, they were only allowed to use a belt or a flog, both of which were issued by their agency. To use any other object would be a felony punishable by termination of their employment. Today, officers are allowed to engage with combative suspects only if to subdue them, for instance chasing a fleeing suspect on foot and tackling them, causing some bodily damage. However, to attack a compliant suspect usually results in termination of employment and jail time for assault and abuse of legal authority.

Corporeal punishment

Capital punishment is legally synonymous with the death penalty, whereas corporeal punishment is a separate concept which doesn't involve death or killing. In the instances where a perpetrator cannot be legally killed for murder or burglary, it is legal to pursue, apprehend, and beat him (legally, citizen's arrest); but to harm him to the point of unconsciousness is where the line lies. It is a felony to harm him past that point or to harm him to the point of fatal injury; and to kill him there is murder. Police are required to recommend that citizens only pursue and apprehend subjects who commit crimes like burglary, theft, and unarmed murder, and that citizens leave corporeal punishment to the professionals.

Police and corporeal punishment

Police officers are legally allowed to issue public beatings at the time of arrest, but legally speaking, it's only appropriate in situations where, for example, a man assaults a woman, or a high-school-aged teenager commits petty theft. Usually, for larger crimes, like theft in material cost of more than R$1,000 (except in cases of theft of a motor vehicle), the police don't beat perpetrators because, morally speaking, the jail sentence will suffice for punishment.

Up until 2131, the police was notorious for beating their criminals with flogs, belts, sticks, and whips, until the outlawing of corporeal punishment from policemen to civilians during Davis X's reign. However, a year following Davis XI's inauguration, the outlawing was reversed in 2137.

The Consigahrian National Armada (also known generally as Consigahria National Armada and Consigahria National Guard, and known colloquially as the national armada, the national guard, and the NatArms) is a broad term that generally refers to two entities, either the Consigahrian Royal Army or the Royal Navy; or specifically to the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines as a whole, a singular entity.

When referred to as Consigahria National Guard or the national guard, it refers to a small fraction of troops from these groups as separate entities confederated against the public in times of riot. This has happened only once in Consigahrian history, resulting in the impeachment of a Prime Minister, and it has been water under the bridge for decades. The subject is considered taboo to bring up in haute or public company.

Consigahria is a notorious police state during international conflict, during which periods walled cities (Tanahog, Vermillion City, Soho City, Enryuu, Konomahamaru, and Dockmackie) close their municipal borders. City walls are reinforced heavily, are five to eight miles in height, 70 to 100 feet thick, and virtually impenetrable. These cities have missile defense systems which are constantly monitored by government workers. Coupled with walls, these cities are virtually untouchable. In Vermillion City's case, Capital Territory as a whole is prohibited from being exited or entered by any sapient entity, alive or dead.

As a nation, Consigahria is a mainly isolationist state which only militarizes against foreign offense forces. In its entire history, the Consigahrian National Armada has only participated in three wars: the war in which confederated forces who later formed the Consigahrian Dictatorship fought for rights to the Vermillion Plantations, the war in which West Consigahria and mainland Consigahria confederated to fight against Gerenstran military embargo ships, and the war against Brasilistan.

In total, there are 4.58 billion reserve officers in the ranks of the national armada. These reserve officers are highly-trained assassins trained by the Consigahrian government. In event of declaration of war or anticipation of declaration of war, 52% of the total adult population and 20% of the juvenile population of the nation will be recruited and trained to fight and kill in close quarters and at great distances; and to fund this, the country will suffer a 20% tax hike in all areas. In event of riot or civil war within the nation, the nation guard will be dispatched, and those exhibiting riotous behavior will be subdued if possible, or if the person or situation is too dangerous they will be non-fatally incapacitated and jailed. In event of civil war within the region, as Spiritian law prohibits civil war, the entire national armada will be dispatched where necessary.

The national armada is an immense force, considering the national population has exceeded 22 billion, more than 90% of the entire world; and alongside its federal agencies, the country is in total definitely a force to be reckoned with. All four branches of the national armada may have up to 25 million active officers each.

Government agencies

Government agencies employ over seven billion Consigahrian citizens across the nation. Government operatives lead these agencies by employing and directing government agents. Government operatives, unlike agents, are allowed to enter private property by any means necessary, even by utilization of lethal force.

The Corporal Service

The Corporal Service, colloquially known as the CS, is a federal intelligence and protection organization which is responsible for the protection of the Davis Royal Family, their staff, and all their subordinates. The CS is comprised of about 12,670 members who are trained to kill at the double, armed or not. The CS is responsible for less than one percent of deaths every year in Consigahria, and all of these deaths were a direct result of an attack on the Royal Family. CS and its sister agencies NBI and CIA often collaborate and act together. Less often, the NBI and CIA will also work with the nation's Operatives' Division.

The Operatives' Division (of the Just Monocratic Commonwealth of Consigahria)

The Operatives' Division of the Just Monocratic Commonwealth of Consigahria, known in Consigahria as simply the Operatives' Division or colloquially as Division, is a branch of the World Operatives' Division, which has many branches in many nations across the world. Put simply, they employ psychic individuals and train them to hunt psychic criminals down where non-psychic intervention is impossible. According to a WOD study, roughly 57% of the entire world is potentially psychic, and 12% of that group are employed with Division.

WOD scientists claim the quantification of a specific percentage of the world which is psychic would probably be illegal in many countries, and morally invasive in others where the law permits; and therefore, WOD has prohibited its branches from investigating it. However, Consigahria and a few other select nations were chosen to make as close an estimate as is legally permitted. In 2135, 43% of Consigahrian citizens were admittedly psychic against a 52% estimated potential.

Consigahria's Division sector employs 12,600 personnel as of 2031; 15,500 personnel as of 2135; and 18,700 as of 2136.

Central Intelligence Agency

The Central Intelligence Agency of Consigahria, known mostly by its domestic name Central Intelligence Agency and its colloquial acronym CIA, is the nation's primary intelligence agency. Its 270,000-some employees operate from domestic, international, and regional embassies, and from many other locations around the world. The staff of the CIA report to the Director of National Intelligence, who reports directly to the Minister of Defense.

The CIA has four traditional principal activities, which are gathering information about foreign governments, corporations, and individuals; analyzing that information, along with intelligence gathered by other Consigahrian intelligence agencies, in order to provide national security intelligence assessment to senior policymakers; carrying out or overseeing covert activities and some tactical operations by its own employees, by members of the NatArms, or by other partners; and prosecution of national and international drug cartels who either don't fulfill or overshoot their quotas.

The CIA, NBI and COWTA tend to work together.

National Bureau of Investigation

The National Bureau of Investigation of Consigahria (National Bureau of Investigation, or NBI), is an intelligence and investigation agency centered in Consigahria responsible for the nation's protection from, to, and monitoring of extraterrestrial activity, and protection of the nation during international struggles by tactical long-range firearm and helicopter-rocket combat, or by hacking computers and networks across the world. The NBI is capable of shutting down the world's strongest supercomputers: it's been done. NBI agents are said to be the "ninjas of the government agencies". The NBI employed 15,240 personnel in 2135, employing a total staff of 31,120.

Central Operations, Weapons and Technology Agency

The Central Operations, Weapons and Technology Agency of Consigahria, also known by its shorthand name Central Operations and colloquially by its acronym COWTA, is a nationalized intelligence and weapons-monitoring agency specializing in tracking weaponry throughout the country, as well as in and out of the country. COWTA would be held liable for any illegal manufacturing or distribution of weaponry and technology which would be detrimental at a federal level of security. It employs around 650,000 agents who they specially train to fight with firearms and without. The main purpose of the agency to make sure the black market stays within its quota limit as far as importation of guns, ammunition, drugs, and other weaponry and technology are concerned.

COWTA has been involved in two international wars and remains involved in hundreds of domestic disputes per year. Only 12 COWTA agents die in the line of duty per year.

Domestically, COWTA regulates, documents transactions within, and manages the country's white, gray and black markets. Without it, the national, regional, and global black markets would severely decline or even crash.

National Police Agency

The population of Consigahria is almost dominated by a nationalized police agency, conveniently called the National Police Agency, also known officially as NPA (abbreviated) and colloquially as the police, the cops, and similar vaguer terms. Every territory's police officers answer directly to a single Territory Police Commander, or TPC, who in turn answers directly to the Minister of Defense. Every territory has its own TPC. Every territory is subdivided into counties. Every county is operated by one County Sheriff, and many Deputy Sheriffs. Sheriffs and deputy sheriffs have legal influence nationwide; however, there is no demand for them in cities which have their own police departments, which employ their own officers - sergeants, corporals, privates, and officers in training.

Many cities have their own separate branch of the NPA. Examples include Vermillion City Police Department, Dockmackie Police Department, and Koto Police Department, and 72 others. Often but not always, in these urban agglomerations each borough has its own subdivision within the branch. Examples include Rochester Police Department and Dixie Police Department, both of Vermillion City alongside each of their sister subdivisions.

Martial law

Martial law in Consigahria is a period of great conflict within the nation's borders, such as riotous frenzy and civil war. When martial law is in effect, all Territories lose their jurisdictions, or in other words, state law becomes null and void while federal law remains in effect. Some laws, such as police forces and federal agencies require search warrants to enter private property, are temporarily abolished.

When martial law is in effect, the Operatives' Division and Corporal Service patrol city streets by horseback and car, while municipal, state and federal police monitor goings-on by helicopter. Even during martial law, however, for the government to spy on civilians without proper cause is unlawful. During this time, pulling a firearm in public will likely get you shot by patrolmen before the weapon is even ready to fire. Theft, even minor theft, becomes a crime potentially punishable by death.

Citizens are allowed to leave their private property onto government- or state-claimed property to go to the store for necessities, such as means of sustenance and protection; to drive students to school; or to go to a workplace in which that person is employed. All buildings funded by the government, such as factories, most schoolhouses, prisons, and legislative institutions, are being monitored and patrolled by police and Corporal Service by foot and sky, and have orders to make sure all people are abiding by the law for security purposes. The law is said to start at home: the parents make sure their children stay at home unless going to and from school, and while they're at school, the teachers and administrators are responsible for keeping the children where they're supposed to be at all times. Minors (citizens aged under 21 years) are specifically not allowed to roam public property unattended by an adult, nor without the specific purpose of going somewhere. Police and CS are instructed to command halted parties to keep moving, to arrest those who don't obey repeated commands, and to shoot and kill anyone in violent opposition to the law.

To display a firearm in public, except in cases of defense of self, or in the case where a round is fired in close proximity to someone in their protection, is specifically illegal. To display a firearm in any other case is a misdemeanor; and to fire a round in any other case is a felony. The government stated very clearly in their public addresses, that it's perfectly legal to kill a burglar whom escaped the agencies patrolling the streets in defense of your property, your safety, or your family's safety; as well as to kill an armed assassin next door or across the street harming your neighbors, assuming he isn't killed by one of the agencies or the family in question first. Prime Minister Davis X said, "If you believe someone's in danger and you can prevent any further suffering, then do it. If you can't do it in one good shot, do nothing. Do not leave your property. And if the police tell you to go inside, don't be a hero, obey. If something's going on, use common sense: if the police are handling something, and you suddenly burst from your front door holding a shotgun, you're probably going to get shot. ... The bottom line is, it's not likely for a crime to occur within your household coming from the outside, and not arouse suspicion of the patrolmen; but if that does happen, you have every right to defend yourself and your family."

If a federal or state agency comes onto a citizen's property, whether public or private property, it is a highly dangerous and unlawful act for the citizen to come to the door wielding a firearm or knife. It's likewise dangerous and unlawful for a federal or state agency to enter non-federal public property or onto private property without probable cause or a warrant of some kind. Interviews no longer happen within homes because of the risk factor; they happen at the front door. If going inside is necessary, the agency in question facilitates a weapons sweep before investigations begin. It is illegal to deny entry to a state or federal agency who have either a search warrant, an arrest warrant, or probable cause; and if a life is in danger, the crime is potentially punishable by death.
