Solenial
Solenial, oficially the People's Democratic Federal Republic of Solenial (Portuguese: República Popular Democrática Federal de Solenial), abbreviated PDFRS or RPDFS, is a country in southern Eurectipheria. It is ruled with a strong multi-party system including a Parliament and a Cabinet, with any man or woman being able to have the chance to enter the system. The Country has a strong industrial wealth coming from things like tourism and manafacturing, and has an exquisite culture comprising of world-wide traditions and beliefs.
History[edit | edit source]
Siennan Empire and resistance[edit | edit source]
The territory was known to be inhabited by Celts who migrated to much of western Eurectipheria, settling in the Britannic Islands and the South West Lands. The land was naturally annexed by the Siennan Empire.
Around AD 200, the new breeds of people that lived around were known for their aggressiveness and demanded to break from the empire. This led to the creation of a city-state known as Consculus (The Conscule) in 212. The Conscule was one of the most important cities of the Siennan Empire as it gave them a privileged access to Bulungi. Without the Conscule, the empire was at the risk of collapsing itself.
In the late 4th century, numerous countries were carved from pieces of the Siennan Empire in the modern territories of the Michillies, North Arlesbury, South Arlesbury, Reitanna, Real, Castille, Catalonia and Solenial.
Islamic invasion[edit | edit source]
In the early 6th century, the city-state of Mecca is created, in what is now Mussulmenia, thus giving way to the birth of Islam. Nearly two centuries later, a huge caliphate was created around the entirety of the Mussulmenian subcontinent, spreading all the way to western Sondria and southern Eurectipheria. Solenian was an easy gateway for Islamic conquest at the time, and by 692 was already a part of the Al-Alaniah Caliphate.
The Conscule was defeated and was forcibly converted to Islam. This eventually led to expansionist plans to spread the religion further north, yet some armies successfully defeated, creating an odd patterned territory for the caliphate. In 751, the Eurectipherian emirates had separated and the Conscule started to become secular, adopting paganism as the "state religion".

Selections[edit | edit source]
The Selection of the President occurs every 4 Years and is a very important event to make sure of the upkeep of the Nation.
Ballots[edit | edit source]
Ballots are set up in big buildings (Town Halls or Churches) in a Town or City on the Day of a General Election, where anyone over 16, can vote for their chosen Head of Party (Main Parties include Democrats, Liberals and Environmental Socialists). Ballots have their Party's Colour, Name, Motto and three targets that this party want to achieve. It is law that all writing on the box is Braille, Solen, Spanish and English and that a representitive from each party is normally called to the venue to persuade people at the time but they are not aloud in the 'Ballot Room', just in the Main Hall, this was started to help make people's decision a bit more serious instead of voting for anyone.
Premier Concile Requirements[edit | edit source]
To be available in the job of the Premier Concile you must be over the age of 17 (The Youngest Premier Concile to enter the office was the Current President, Ryan Laing, who entered when he was just 21) and have no serious Criminal Record or history in any places such as Mental Hospitals (This Law was abolished in 2000, due to the Political Correctness Regime, but still tends to be followed). A Premier Concile is not able to spend more than 10 Four Year terms in Office (The Longest Serving President was Ghuli Jahal who stayed for 8 Four year terms).
There has only been one Premier Concile who gained Premiery who wasn't in one of the three main Parties, this was one of the Least Successful Reigns in the Nation, although it is still encouraged they give Lower Parties a chance.
The President usually recieves an annual payment of ¬ 250,000.
The High Council[edit | edit source]
The Job of the High Council is similar to that of the Queen in the United Kingdom. The truth is, that the High Council is chosen for the good of the Nation and generally care for the Nation. They protect the Country from becoming a dictatorship as they have the power to intercept any disgraceful laws being passed.
Constitution[edit | edit source]
The Constitution consists of 62 articles, much like the one below:
- Article 1: Civil Positions, Popular Sovereignty, and Electoral Processes
- Sub-Section A: Elections
Every four years, an election will be held to decide who the next Imperial Minister of Solenial will be.
The elections shall be held in all major Towns and Cities in the Country created by the Balloéts prior to the elections. Prior to the start of the elections, candidates are asked to announce their candidacy and post their arguement on why others should choose them to be Imperial Minister.
In order to combat the scenario of a majority of nations in the region announcing their candidacy, a limit of 15 parties are permited to announce their candidacy. In regards to the withdrawl of the candidacy of a party, the withdrawing party must write a valid testimony of resignation from the elections. In that effect, all votes made towards the withdrawing party are considered null and void.
- Sub-Section B: Civil Positions
After the deadline of the election has been reached and a Prime Minister has been selected or reselected, the Prime Minister then has the power to elect a select handful of capable persons into the Republican National Cabinet
In warning towards the Prime Minister and all representatives seeking a civil position, choices for ministry positions are to be made based on work ethic, loyalty, and other such qualities, not personal relationships.
As a precaution to avoid confusion on who will be fulfilling the civil offices, the Prime Minister is asked to notify the selected representatives, inform them of the position offered to them, and wait for acknowledgement of their acceptance or denial of the position. If the position is denided, the Prime Minister will be asked to choose another candidate.
- Sub-Section C: Assistant Civil Positions
Once the Civil Positions have been fulfilled, the new Civil Officers (Ministers of Defense, Health, Foreign Delegation, etc. along with Chancellor) then have the option to appoint an Assistant Civil Officer to help them with their issues.
Note: The appointment of Assistant Civil Officers is completely optional and thus not compulsory.
The role of the Assistant Civil Officer is that of a subordinate of the Civil Officer they have been appointed by. For example, an Assistant Defense Minister will handle all if any issues passed to them by the Defense Minister.
The Assistant Civil Officer has only half the power of a Civil Officer.
- Sub-Section D: PI Delegate Position
Unlike other Civil Offices, the PI Delegate Position is subject to change at any time for a new UN Resolution Deadline may come at inoppurtune times where the next election may be a month or several weeks away. As such, a PI Delegate can be handed from one position to another.
- Sub-Section E: Conclusion
In closing, these are the processes and formats to be laid out for future arguements and delegations. Note that they are subject to ammendment if the creator of the article is told to do so by the Imperial Minister at that moment.
Economy[edit | edit source]
The Economy of Solenial has been on the rise since the turn of the millennium. Despite the government's claims of a greener nation, Solenial is still very devoted to the economy. In fact, the former president Michael Walford (2003-2007) has told, in a press conference, that in many ways, renewable energy can boost the economy in the international market. Since 2012, Solenial adopted the Green Economy plan. 60% of the goals for 2017 were achieved under the initial five-year plan, to the insistence of the government, it was supposed to reach a 50% goal, even though the maximum goal was 100%.
Energy[edit | edit source]
Solenial, despite not having the strongest economy, is currently on the rise with the sale of environmentally-friendly electricity. Government entities have also signed a new contract with an Michillian Petrol in Solenial who is digging of the East Coast region. But as part of the 1999 Carbon and Non-Renewable Energy Reduction Act, the supply of oil they can dig is strictly regulated, still boosting the economy.
Due to its proximity to Bulungi, and, in turn, the Mussulmenian subcontinent, some Mussulmenian oil companies have invested more in the country.

Telephone[edit | edit source]
=Standard codes[edit | edit source]
Solen telephone numbers consist of eleven digits in the following format: cc-dd-lll-nnnn.
cc is the County-State code, which in most cases lies within the range 01 to 25, corresponding to Solenial's twenty-five County-States. For instance, the Kensin is represented by the code 01, while Frei County-State is represented by the code 25.
dd is the district code, which lies within the range 01 to 99. A district, for purposes of telephone number assignment, is a geographical division one step below a province. Not all provinces have the full 99 districts. For instance, within the County-State of Wangsh (province code 05), Kulamano is represented by the district code 16, while Harzo is represented by the district code 59.
lll is the local area code, which lies within the range 001 to 999. Typically, these are assigned on a city-by-city basis. The smallest cities may receive only one area code, but the vast majority of cities have several (in the case of the largest cities, they may even have over a thousand, requiring them to be represented by more than one district code).
Finally, nnnn is the number assigned to an individual line within a local area code. Thus, the phone number of a major office building in Launceston might be 01-01-001-4504.
International calls[edit | edit source]
To reach a Solen phone line from outside the country, one must first dial Solen's country code, which is 707. Thus, to reach a government office in Coshastati from a Dovenian government office, one might dial 707-01-01-346-2323.
Special province codes[edit | edit source]
Certain "province codes" are actually reserved for other purposes. Province code 80 is used for toll-free lines, but these have become so numerous that they have expanded to 81, 82, and 83. Currently, the range 80-89 is reserved for future expansion of this system. Similarly, province code 90 is used for higher-toll lines.
Emergency services[edit | edit source]
Dialing the number 111 will automatically connect you to local emergency services. To safeguard against accidental use of this feature, no portion of a valid telephone number can consist entirely of ones.
Telecommunications[edit | edit source]
