History

The Kingdom of Oyo was formed on the 13th of November 2018 by xCptSpiffyx, Rolum was made Emperor and in charge of the military. As the capital was focused on developing, the overall nation had carried out construction of the Korban Canal. It was completed on the 19th of November 2018 and is currently the largest canal in the world. It was jointly built with the city of Houmt Souk. The Kingdom of Oyo had gained land during this time. Port De Meme a close neighbour to Lagos. More recently the Head of State enacted reforms to the political system by abdicating the position of Emperor and installing a more democratic system of government. This has resulted in the position of Prime Minister being created, and the beginning of construction of a Senate and Parliament.

Government

The government of the Kingdom takes a social democratic stance when it comes to governing, ensuring residents have a high standard of living and allowing businesses to conduct free trade.

The government has different levels to ensure there is accountability and so one person doesn't have total control over the country. The Head of State is to represent the country to other nations and are involved in foreign affairs and diplomacy. They can veto any law but this decision can be overthrown by the Senate and Parliament.

The Prime Minister is a position appointed by the Head of State, they also represent the country but they also appoint cabinet ministers and do the general running of the country. The Prime Minister can also create and revoke laws.

The Senate is made up of Governors(Mayors) from each town and have the power to create and revoke laws and also can veto laws passed.

The Parliament is made up of regular citizens from every town and have the power to create laws.

Different levels of government can veto each other except that the Prime Minister can't veto the Head of State. Depending on what level is being vetoed, different percentages are needed for veto power to take place. This ranges from 66% to 75%.

In the event of a popular uprising of the Head of State an individual is selected to ensure national stability, this position is called "The Democratic Safeguard."

Military

The Kingdom of Oyo has not yet created a formal military but expects high ranking government officials to take on a call to arms. It is felt a military is not needed as the kingdom takes a defensive approach to it's national security and foreign affairs.

Buildings

There are no distinct buildings yet constructed in the Kingdom. The only distinctive thing that has been constructed has been the Korban Canal. There are plans to create Africa's tallest skyscraper in Lagos to act as a hotel and bar for travellers using the Korban Canal.
