Formation of My Government

By clytemnestra

  • Start of war for independence from declining Fett Empire

  • Separation from Fett Empire and declaration of independent statehood

  • Official articulation of initial constitution, establishment of loose confederacy of cities/counties within the country

  • Instatement of war hero Ethan R. Jenkins as president

    Jenkins took advantage of the disorganization of the government, appointing friends and allies who agreed with his political views to positions of power and inventing new ones to further his agenda, easily passing violent legislation to his own advantage, and hunting down all who opposed him. Jenkins is viewed historically as a dictator.

  • Assassination of Ethan R. Jenkins and cabinet

    At the time viewed as an act of domestic terrorism, the period following this was a time of extreme political unrest.

  • Evolution of agricultural councils into parliament

    A season of agricultural prosperity led to the rise in power of formerly minor agricultural councils, the most intact remains of the former Confederacy, as the country's territory then was primarily rural farmland. Agricultural officials gathered, drafting a revised constitution and establishing a unicameral parliament to nullify the possibility of further tyranny.

  • Bicameral division of parliament

    By 1952, the population had grown enough to demand division of the parliament into a branch with seats by region, and another branch with seats by population per region.

  • Elimination of presidential position

    While initially preserved as an ornamental formality, in 1933 the position of president was officially eradicated, washing the taste of Jenkins from the national mouth for good. An elected Head of State, however, was selected from the members of parliament every 3 years starting that year.
