History

Politics

The preamble of the Constitution defines Phoenixia as a sovereign, secular, and democratic republic. Father of the Indian Constitution was S.P. Adrien. Phoenixia has a federal form of government and has a unicameral parliament, with the classic tripartite division of powers: legislative, executive and judicial.

Parliament

Landsraad is the Phoexy parliament, unicameral, has 630 members and is elected every five years on the basis of a proportional party system. The assembly is led by a president and five vice-presidents; From 2020 the president is Beldredo Smiss, of the 6x movement party. The members of parliament are divided into twelve standing committees and four special commissions. Most of Phoenixia's public agencies are subordinate to the government, but only two of them (the parliamentary intelligence supervisory commission and the national fund management office) are directly subordinate to parliament.

Judiciary

Phoenixia has three levels of the judiciary: the Supreme Court, 20 High Courts (at the state level) and a large number of ordinary courts. The Supreme Court has jurisprudence. The Supreme Court has jurisdiction over cases involving fundamental rights and disputes between the federated states and the central government, and cases of appeal by the High Court. It is independent of any other power and can dissolve state governments, as well as declare the laws of various states unconstitutional. The role as the ultimate interpreter of the Constitution is one of the most important functions of the Supreme Court.

Federal President

The Federal President of the Republic is a figure above the political parties, has a guiding role, with powers of government not in terms of political but equally decisive in that: The chancellor proposes to the Landsraad that he will then decide on his election or not, and also in the event of the election of the chancellor without an absolute majority, the president can choose whether to appoint him fairly or alternatively dissolve the Chamber. is elected by parliament every 5 years. Since 2020 he is Francesco Alfred.

Chancellor

The Chancellor is the head of the Phoenixian government, effectively appoints and dismisses the individual ministers and decides the policy guidelines of the federal government. He is elected by the Landsraad every 6 years. Since 2016 he is Carlo Cox Andrew.

All institutions are located in the capital Bluckingham. The Government is headquartered at Primevera Palace. The Landsraad meets at the Speranza Palace. The Supreme Court is located in the justice building.

Administrative divisions

Phoenixia is a federation of states with autonomous parliaments and governments. There are 21 federated states and the district of the capital Bluckingham, and each of them is divided into municipalities;

Infrastructure

Railway system

The Newcastle railway service (NRS) is a Phoenixian railway company, headquartered in Bluckingham. The company, owned by the Federal Republic, is the largest rail operator and largest infrastructure manager in Phoenixia.

They carry out the dual activity of entrusted railway company on one side of the commercial exploitation of railway transport services for passengers and goods, and on the other hand, the exploitation and maintenance of the phoenixian national railway network.

The NRS was created on January 1, 1928 by the government of Worren Yerr to unify the existing railway companies. At the time it was a joint stock company of mixed economy, created for a duration of 55 years, of which the state owned 51% of the capital while the remaining 49% belonged to the shareholders of the previous companies. The staff had the status of public officials.

On December 31, 1983, the 1928 convention expired and the entire NRS returned to the state, which gave it a new statute. The NSR became a PCIC (Public company for industrial and commercial purposes) and its employees were no longer considered officials. A charter of duties and multiannual programmatic plans regulate all relations between state and business.

Since the crisis of 2005 which resulted in a major strike by railway workers, no planning contract has been signed. The State still continues to offer aid corresponding to the so-called public service performances which include:

•special fares for passengers on major lines (reductions for large families, for the military, etc.) •the exploitation of services of regional interest (ESRI) mediated by agreements with the regions that have become the organizing authorities and, for goods, some combined transport services.

Highway system

The Phoenixian highway system (PHS) is a network of state roads administered by the Phoenixia Ministry of Infrastructure. It is built, operated and maintained by the National Department of Transportation Infrastructure (DNIT), a federal agency linked to the Ministry of Infrastructure, and the public works departments of state governments.

The Phoenixian highway system comprises the road infrastructure and the operational structure of the various means of transporting people and goods. As far as jurisdiction is concerned, the national road system is composed of the federal road traffic system and the road systems of the states, the capital district and the municipalities.

The Investment partnership program (IPP) is a major effort to expand and upgrade the highway network apart from the federal highway concessions program. The Ministry of Infrastructure often uses a public-private partnership model for highway maintenance and toll collection.

Healthcare

Phoenixia's system of hospitals, called Krake, dates from medieval times, and today, Phoenixia has one of the world's oldest universal health care system, dated to the social legislation of the 1880s. Since the 1880s, reforms and provisions have ensured a balanced health care system. The population is covered by a health insurance plan provided by Willdar Darlo Satistar, with criteria allowing some groups to opt for a private health insurance contract.

Education

Responsibility for educational supervision in Phoenixia is primarily organised within the individual states. Optional kindergarten education is provided for all children between three and six years old, after which school attendance is compulsory for at least nine years. Primary education usually lasts for four to six years. Secondary schooling is divided into tracks based on whether students pursue academic or vocational education. A system of apprenticeship called Vallée leads to a skilled qualification which is almost comparable to an academic degree. It allows students in vocational training to learn in a company as well as in a state-run trade school. This model is well regarded and reproduced all around the world.

Most of the Phoexy universities are public institutions, and students traditionally study without fee payment. The general requirement for university is the Abitur. The established universities in Phoenixia include some of the oldest in the world, with Felixia University (established in 1386) being the oldest. The Unitt University of Bluckingham, founded in 1810 by the liberal educational reformer Matteo de' Luv, became the academic model for many phoexy universities. In the contemporary era Phoenixia has developed six Universities of Excellence.

Media

Freedom of speech and of the press are guaranteed by the Constitution. The Broadcasting Act, approved in 1984, regulated broadcasting until it was revised, becoming in 2010 the Media Services Act. These laws, together with the National Broadcasting Law (2007) represent the legal framework of media in Phoenixia. Cultural norms are highly influential in the country and over-regulation is generally avoided. The Phoenixian Ministry of Culture is responsible for issuing licenses in relation to content, while the Phoenixian Technical Surveillance Authority issues technical licences. The principle of access to information is outlined in the Constitution, and the Public Information Act establishes mechanisms for access and obliges authorities to assist citizens in the process. The Phoenixian Broadcasting Council (PBC), which supervises the public broadcaster PRR, is composed of 4 media professionals and one representative of each political fraction. Their election is made in Parliament. In 2018, in total, there were 10 members of the Council. Under the law, the Council operates independently.

In 2009 the Phoenixian Supreme Court decided that online media are deemed responsible for comments posted by their readers. Phoenxia’s largest website, Lune, was fined in 2015 for one of these comments.

The Phoenixian Defence Force (PDF) is the military organisation responsible for the defence of the Republic of Phoenixia and its national interests. It consists of the Phoenixian Navy (PN), Phoenixian Army, Phoenixia Air Force (PAF), The Phoenixian Coast Guard (PCG) and the Eagles, a special corp, and several "tri-service" units.
