Mexregiona: Difference between revisions

Sapient inhabitation of what is now Mexregiona is dated to as early as 25,000 years BP (Before Present). Scholars debate whether the ailurine or nekomimi species reached the island first, as both appear to have been present very early after the end of the Last Glacial Maximum and the Rotantic ice sheet receded. Ursines began migrating to the area approximately 3,000 years BP, though most continued on to mainland Novaris. Mexregiona has long been an important trading port and travel destination between Novaris and Yasteria. The etymology of the name “Mexregiona” is unknown, and is recorded as early as 1150 BCE. It is believed that the [[Rodoka|Native Rodokans]] of [[Tavaris]] were indigenous to Mexregiona, but their entire population emigrated away beginning shortly after the first Mexregional polity was formed. The reasons for this migration are unknown.

Modern Mexregiona is a federation consisting of five states which, despite the name of the country, are officially called parishes. The parishes enjoy significant control over their internal affairs, with the federal government primarily responsible for international relations and defense. The President of Mexregiona is elected by an Electoral College consisting of the collective members of each parish’s legislature. The office of President is defined as the “symbol of federal unity” in the Constitution, but unlike many other Presidents or Heads of State on Urth, the office is not symbolic. The President of Mexregiona enjoys broad power in international affairs, is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, and has the authority to veto laws passed by the Federal Diet. According to a tradition in the country, as well as a clause of the Constitution since a 2004 amendment, the President must assume the name “Mister Leader” upon election to office. As such, Presidents are often referred to by number: Mister Leader I, Mister Leader II, and so on.
