==Etymology==
The name ''Volkiya'' is derived from the name of the ancient [[Volkiplemeni]], one of four western [[Itur|Iturian]] [[lupine]] tribes (along with [[Yekarians]], [[Vyalovians]], and [[Orlikians]]) which formed the ethnic core of modern Volkians. ''Volkiya'' came into use to refer to the land populated by the Volkiplemeni which is part of modern day [[Zhukovsky Oblast]], [[Baksansky Oblast]], [[Abarsk Oblast]], and the Federal City of Volkgoroda in 1154 with the creation of the Grand Principality of Volkia. The name has since come to refer to the entirety of the Volkian state.
 
The first usage of ''Volkia'' dates back to roughly 200 AD.
 
==History==
Line 133 ⟶ 130:
The president is elected by popular vote for a four year term (eligible for a second term, but not a third term).
 
The People's Council has 450472 voting members, each representing an electoral district for a two year term. Seats are apportioned among the provinces by population every eight years. At the 16th National Census taken in 2012 [[LakinskKurilsk Oblast]], the least populous province, had twoone representativesrepresentative while [[TrakovaskiZhukovsky Oblast]], the most populous province, had 4334. The Federal Council has 4878 voting members with each provinceoblast and the federal territory having three, elected at-large to six-year terms; one third of Federal Council seats are up for election every other year.
 
The [[Supreme Federal Court of Volkia|Supreme Federal Court]], led by the [[Chief Justice of Volkia]], has twelve members who serve for life. The Chief Justice is selected by the President and confirmed by the Federal Council.
 
The oblast governments are structured in a roughly similar fashion. The governor (chief executive) of each province is directly elected. Some provincial judges and cabinet officers are appointed by the governors of the respective provinces, while others are elected by popular vote.

Volkia is a federation comprised of fifteen25 provinces (oblasts) and onethe [[Volkgoroda|Federal CapitalCity Territory|federalof territoryVolkgoroda]]. Provinces are splitfurther divided into [[Raions of Volkia|raions]] for administrative purposes while Volkgoroda is divided into wards.
 
Provinces hold all power not delegated to the federal government according to the [[Constitution of Volkia|Constitution]]. This means that they must have a representative, republican style of government, obey the Constitution, as well as remain subordinate to the federal government. They are not allowed to unilaterally secede from the federation. Beyond this, they are fully autonomous: they ratify their own constitutions, freely organize their local governments (in accordance with the Constitution), and own and manage their own natural and financial resources. Every province has a bicameral legislature, similar to that of the federal legislature.
Line 164 ⟶ 161:
Every province and the capital territory receives three Councilmen in the Federal Council, as well as a set number of Deputies in the People's Council based upon population.

Very few lupines follow Vayan Catholicism, though it is not unheard of. Some vulpines also follow the traditionally lupine Mahitou; some are accepting of this practice while others are not. These arguments stem from the fact that the lupine is explicitly mentioned in religious texts while vulpines are not, especially in texts discussing the idea of 'Paradise' or ''Mahiparadies''.
 
Despite this, the head of the Mahitou religion - the ''[[Mahitou#Stareyshina|Stareyshina]]'' has not denounced non-lupine practitioners of the religion, instead, encouraging their participation.
