Kostromastan: Difference between revisions

Kostromastan was officially independent on October 17th, 2005 with the signing of the [[Treaty of Astravili (2005)|Treaty of Astravili]]. The newly-formed nation spent 21 months writing the constitution, due to the fact that not every nation, particularly Astra and Tula, was content with each new iteration of the constitution, the two nations vying for further decentralization and power over their own affairs. It was continually refined, until on July 12th, 2007, the Kostrom Constitution was finally offically ratified. The final iteration of the constitution established a highly decentralized singular governmental branch that oversaw the general actions of the governments of the nations within Kostromastan. Most governmental activities, however, took place within the borders of member nations. The only activities that the national government primarily took part in were larger advisory and executive issues such as civil rights and constitutionality of bills, as well as some minor inroads into foreign affairs. However, not every issue would be handled by the supranational government, a prime example being the [[Aurora-Pacific War]], in which only the northern nations Volova and Novugdidi would participate, the southern three choosing to stay out of the war entirely.
