Kuntree Nämm (KN)

The Force Theory...

Ten years ago, Kuntree Nämm was founded. The inhabitants of kuntree namm were known as the Jostles. They colonized the land many years ago, and lived in harmony ever since. Years and years passed, and some of the Jostles started becoming careless around City Name. The left side of the island became heavily polluted. The people in City Name tried to flee to Stadt Name, but they refused to let them enter, in fear that they would populate their side of the city also. A war broke out, and the Jostles on the right side concurred the Jostles on the left side. The right side Jostles then declared they would make a border dividing the Kuntree Namm in half. The Fwadulates, or purple people, were on the left polluted side, while the Jostle people were on the non-polluted side. The Fwadulates were in a polluted island for so long that their skin began to change. They were mutating slowly, but surely. In a matter of weeks, they turned completely purple. The divided island had the Fwadulate purple people on the left, and the Jostle green people on the right.

and explanation.*Kuntree Nämm is a fascist country. Admin, the ruler of the country, makes all decisions for the people along with help from the government. Admin made Kuntree Nämm a fascist state. Inspired by Mussolini of Italy, Admin wanted to make his country more or less the same way as Italy was in 1922. The control of power is centralized between the government and leader. Here in Kuntree Nämm, everybody has full employment, whether you like the job or not. Freedom and rights are cancelled, and everything lies upon the dictator. Kuntree Nämm is also understood to have a totalitarian government because we control ours people's entire lives. Admin control prices, wages, and production rates. The economic challenge we face is that Admin is protected from criticism and competing ideas.This promotes the mentality that he is always right and that he can never be wrong since nobody opposes his rule. Failure to agree with what Admin says and preaching against him always leads to a long-term vacation. population numbers!) 47,410 ( GDP divided by population) *GDP growth rate (is economy growing or slowing?

The Government type is Communist, currently run by dictator Admin.

It has a Unitary government and a Presidential system.

Kuntree Namm currently has only two states. F and J. F is inhabited by the Fwadulates and J holds the Jostles.

Each state has their own people and tends to keep to themselves, however they have no power to create any laws or have any form of secondary government other than a court that Admin can overrule at any time.

The current country government was founded in 2001, when Admion heroicly rose up and brought an end to the Great War between F and J. He came from North Korea and is completly human. He took his army of Anons and took over the country to stop the fighting. He does his best to prevent war and allow the citizens to follow life as they know it. The Anons are Admin's personal army. They keep order in the country. Should someone be found of breaking the law, they are brought in front of a court. Each state has their own court, however, Admin ultimately holds the power to decide how to deal with all issues.

Admin holds all powers, however there is a separate Judicial branch.

Executive:

There is never an election, as Admin is the current ruler of the country.

Admin is the only ruler with absolute control over everything, however he allows each state to have their own court with the understanding that they can be overruled whenever he wants.

When he dies, he will have a successor to take his place.

There is no Cabinet.

Legislative:

There is no legislative body. Admin preforms all duties given to this branch of government.

Judicial:

There is one court for each state. Each has a judge appointed by Admin. and if for any reason there is no decision made or it needs to go to a higher power it goes directly to admin.

No court has more power than any others. If the criminal is a Fwadulate they are taken to The Court of F and Jostles to The Court of J.

There are no additional branches.

There are no Political Parties, as the country is communist as is ruled without question.
