'''British Columbia,''' formerly known as the nation '''Salish,''' and officially '''The Province of British Columbia''' is a Province of the [[Evergreen Republic]] situated in the Pacific Northwest region of North America and hosts notable cities, like Seattle. British Columbia has a Parliamentary Direct Democracy government structure that was based off of the government structure of the [[Salish Confederation]], of which it was a canton of prior to the establishment of the Evergreen Republic.


=='''Government'''==
=='''Government'''==
The Government Structure is almost exactly the same as the now defunct Salish Confederation, in order to preserve it's system of government.


====Supreme Premier====
====Premier ====
The '''Supreme Premier''' is the head of the Canton, and shall be elected every month by all eligible voters by a majority of total votes using the Instant-Runoff Voting Method. The Supreme Premier shall be limited to serving three consecutive terms of one month each, but must wait the length of two terms out of office; they will then have their term limits reset.
The Premier is the elected head of the Province by the Provincial Parliament once a month. They work alongside Members of Provincial Parliament (MLAs) within Parliament as a fellow peer and also deal with relations with the federal government. The Deputy Premier assists the Premier and works with other Ministers, while also taking over in times of inactivity, or any other situation that was allowed by the Constitution or law. The current Premier is SayerQT since 1 March 2022, elected in the March 2022 British Columbia Provincial Election.
 
If the Supreme Premier resigns or leaves office within the first half of a month-long term, elections shall be held to fill the vacancy and the victor of the special election will serve until the end of the original Supreme Premier’s caste term. If the Supreme Premier resigns or leaves office within the second half of a month-long term, the Lieutenant Premier will become the Supreme Premier. However, if the Position of Lieutenant Premier is vacant, it then falls to the Parliamentor. If it too is vacant, it will trigger a special election with previously prescribed methods. The Supreme Premier may be removed in votes of no-confidence by the Legislative Council, which require a 2/3rd majority of the total membership
 
The Supreme Premier may choose to appoint Ministers to the '''Executive Council''' of British Columbia.
 
The Supreme Premier shall be the Commander-in-Chief of the Public Militia of British Columbia, however they cannot declare war without consent of the Legislative Council in a 3/5th vote, and all wars declared by the Salish Federation will automatically summon the Canton of British Columbia, unless in the case the Legislative Council overrule the Federation declaration and withdraw from the war with a 3/5th vote.
 
The Supreme Premier shall break ties in elections relating to the composition of Cantonal government officials.
 
The Supreme Premier may petition a state of emergency to the Legislative Council, in which the Legislative Council voting in joint session must approve with a 2/3rd majority. If passed, a five-day timer will start, beginning at the confirmation of a successful vote, in which the power will revert to normal after the five days have passed. In a state of emergency, the Supreme Premier will have the ability to pass laws without approval of anyone, however they cannot overturn previous laws. The Legislative Council can still hold votes of no-confidence during this time, or can force a return to normal power with a 1/2 majority vote.
 
====Executive Council====
The Supreme Premier may choose to give '''Ministers''' roles that are delegated from the powers of the Supreme Premier in order to properly run the Canton.
 
There shall be a permanent advisor position to the Supreme Premier that shall be titled the '''Parliamentor''' of British Columbia. The Parliamentor shall permanently be the Mayor of the Capital of the Canton. The Parliamentor shall own the nation in-game. If the Parliamentor is serving as Supreme Premier, the position will be temporarily abolished for the length of that term if both are held simultaneously.
 
There shall be established a position titled the '''Lieutenant Premier''' of British Columbia. The Lieutenant Premier shall be appointed by the Supreme Premier, however can only be removed through votes of no-confidence. The Lieutenant Premier shall break ties in the Legislative Council.
 
====Legislative Council====
The Legislative Council shall be the unicameral provincial parliament. The Legislative Council shall consist of elected and non elected citizens of the Canton, that must reside in the nation for at least one week to be a member. Members shall be referred to as '''Cantonal Councillors''', or '''CCs'''. Town mayors automatically earn a seat in the Legislative Council.  


For every twelve non-mayor citizens in the Canton, there will be one elected Legislative Council position. These elected Legislative Council positions will be allocated to towns based on how many members they have in the Cantonal Discord. These Cantonal Councillors will be elected or chosen by the Government of the town they represent, by methods decided by the town.  
==== Secretariat====
The Provincial Secretariat consists of various task specific Ministers that are appointed by the Chancellor to help run the country. The Parliament regulates them and has the ability to remove them in order for smooth operations within the Province.
==== Parliament ====
The population, or the Parliament or Legislative Assembly ''(alternatively known as the Squpástul)'' is the unicameral voting body and legislature of the Province. It votes to initiate proposals which allow it to: create and remove laws, impeach Secretariat members, and other duties prescribed by law. Proposed items have four different categories: Standard Law, Territory Expansion/Expulsion, Province Law, and Constitutional Law, as well as other miscellaneous resolutions, as Parliament has the ability to manage the rules of its proceedings. All laws are cataloged within the Journal of the Provincial Parliament.
====Circuit Court of Appeals====
The Court of Law of the British Columbia Province consists of three judges, and one head judge called the Justice General. These judges are appointed by the Premier every three months with approval of the Parliament, and the Justice General serves a renewable one month term. These citizens must at least reside within the Province for two months prior to being appointed. Judges of the Court can not be a part of the Secretariat, but can be MPs or Mayors. The court's duties are to interpret law and the Constitution of the Province and the Evergreen Republic and apply them to cases. It can appeal to the Federal Judiciary of the Evergreen Republic.  


Constitutional articles can only be amended via new constitutional articles, which must be ratified by a 2/3rd majority in a Canton-wide referendum and can be suggested by 20% of the total membership of the Legislative Council, 10% of the Cantonal Population, or by the Supreme Premier. However, new constitutional articles cannot contain anything that changes the Second Constitutional Article, and can be vetoed by the Supreme Premier.
Judges of the Court of Law can be impeached and removed from office by the Parliament for the Constitutional definitions of Abuse of Power and Incompetence with a 60% majority. If an impeachment is successful, the Premier would then appoint with Parliament approval a new judge that will serve until the end of the impeached judge’s term.
 
====Judicial System====
All constitutional or civil cases shall be directed through the Salish Confederation Court of Grievances.
[[File:BCGOV2.png|center|thumb|800x800px|How the British Columbia Canton Government works.]]


The Court may decide to dismiss frivolous or trivial cases with a legal reason given with a unanimous vote, though the Parliament can override this with a 2/3rds vote.

British Columbia, formerly known as the nation Salish, and officially The Province of British Columbia is a Province of the Evergreen Republic situated in the Pacific Northwest region of North America and hosts notable cities, like Seattle. British Columbia has a Parliamentary Direct Democracy government structure that was based off of the government structure of the Salish Confederation, of which it was a canton of prior to the establishment of the Evergreen Republic.

Government

The Government Structure is almost exactly the same as the now defunct Salish Confederation, in order to preserve it's system of government.

Premier

The Premier is the elected head of the Province by the Provincial Parliament once a month. They work alongside Members of Provincial Parliament (MLAs) within Parliament as a fellow peer and also deal with relations with the federal government. The Deputy Premier assists the Premier and works with other Ministers, while also taking over in times of inactivity, or any other situation that was allowed by the Constitution or law. The current Premier is SayerQT since 1 March 2022, elected in the March 2022 British Columbia Provincial Election.

Secretariat

The Provincial Secretariat consists of various task specific Ministers that are appointed by the Chancellor to help run the country. The Parliament regulates them and has the ability to remove them in order for smooth operations within the Province.

Parliament

The population, or the Parliament or Legislative Assembly (alternatively known as the Squpástul) is the unicameral voting body and legislature of the Province. It votes to initiate proposals which allow it to: create and remove laws, impeach Secretariat members, and other duties prescribed by law. Proposed items have four different categories: Standard Law, Territory Expansion/Expulsion, Province Law, and Constitutional Law, as well as other miscellaneous resolutions, as Parliament has the ability to manage the rules of its proceedings. All laws are cataloged within the Journal of the Provincial Parliament.

Circuit Court of Appeals

The Court of Law of the British Columbia Province consists of three judges, and one head judge called the Justice General. These judges are appointed by the Premier every three months with approval of the Parliament, and the Justice General serves a renewable one month term. These citizens must at least reside within the Province for two months prior to being appointed. Judges of the Court can not be a part of the Secretariat, but can be MPs or Mayors. The court's duties are to interpret law and the Constitution of the Province and the Evergreen Republic and apply them to cases. It can appeal to the Federal Judiciary of the Evergreen Republic.

Judges of the Court of Law can be impeached and removed from office by the Parliament for the Constitutional definitions of Abuse of Power and Incompetence with a 60% majority. If an impeachment is successful, the Premier would then appoint with Parliament approval a new judge that will serve until the end of the impeached judge’s term.

The Court may decide to dismiss frivolous or trivial cases with a legal reason given with a unanimous vote, though the Parliament can override this with a 2/3rds vote.

History

Before British Columbia became a Canton, it was the nation known as Salish which was founded on the 9th of February, 2020, by Vorobyevite. The nation renamed to British Columbia on the 1st of October 2020.

For the longest time, there was no distinction between British Columbia and the Nation of Salish, they were one in the same, and British Columbia had no Cantonal government. This changed however on September 12th, 2021 when SayerQT formed the first Cantonal government and established local rule. The Federal capital was Seattle, until the 1st Amendment to the Salish Constitution was passed, abolishing the Federal capital in favor of Cantonal capitals. This however, doesn't prevent strong feeling of the de facto Capital being Seattle for the Salish Confederation.
