Nova:Gujarat
Overview
Gujarat is a nation located on the Indian Subcontinent. It was formed by indian7p after India was sold to the Yemenis in March 2020 after a brutal war against the Maurya Dynasty and Yemen. The nation was formerly Arabia, but was renamed to Gujarat after leader Tafffy handed it over to Yemen, who allowed indian7p to use it.
Gujarat was formerly a member of the Austrian Empire, as well as the Yemen Empire and the Sri Lankan Empire. It has had 4 Prime Ministers and 2 Presidents.
History
Beginnings with Yemen
Gujarat joined the Yemen Empire in March 2020.
On June 8, 2020, Gujarat's first Prime Minister election was decided. zThunder7 became the nation's first Prime Minister after holding 2/3 of the popular vote. However, during his time as PM, he had accomplished little, only deciding to stay in Yemen's empire while offering free farms and highway infrastructure. He was also accused of begging for funds from citizens. These actions made his administration rather unpopular, and on the 21st of June, a new election was held which ousted Thunder and appointed navyaxD the new Prime Minister.
On the 1st of July 2020, by democratic means, Gujarat left the Yemen Empire. This was decided through a monthly election that instated zThunder7 as both Minister of Recruitment & Populace and Minister of Economical Activities, and re-elected navyaxD as Prime Minister.
Prior to July 3rd, the governing body of Gujarat consisted of President indian7p, Prime Minister navyaxD, and a parliament of town mayors and a cabinet of ministers. However, that day, a council was created that would include anyone in any Gujarati town with the "councillor" rank. This council would replace the parliament, and all councillors, MPs, and ministers would be in it. Navya wanted councillors to have more power than MPs, but Indian refused the idea.
Presidential Power Struggle
Three days later, Navya would begin talk of a new constitution. He planned to install himself as president in this new document, but indian7p saw this as an attempted coup. On the sixteenth, Navya held a vote to increase councillor power above MPs, but was immediately vetoed by Indian. The council was temporarily closed to discuss terms of amendments to the constitution.
On July 17th, Gujarat left the Sri Lankan Empire due to the banning of Sri Lankan leaders being banned, as well as UghBraces selling Sri Lanka. The town of Latur defected to Sri Lanka, and negotiation efforts to bring the city back had failed.
Gujarat on Hold
On the 20th, President indian7p was banned, because of rumors of an alleged doxxing of player Raining_Oranges' friend. A statement by Indian was written in response. During this time, Gujarat was becoming a much more populous nation (thanks to the efforts of navyaxD, who became the "Emergency President"), and Indian released a video on his situation. However, elections were put on hold, as if Indian was not unbanned, Navya would have to step in as the new president.
The next month, Prime Minister navyaxD would buy Mumbai from Sri Lanka, causing him to move from the city of Rajkot and continue his work at his new home. This would cause Rajkot's second period of inactivity, but Mumbai would expand in population quite rapidly.
On August 27th, indian7p was unbanned, and the third election of the Gujarati Prime Minister took place on the first of September. The candidates navyaxD and Pokemaster01 were the only choices, and Navya won by a landslide victory (6-0). This would be his third term as PM. Five days later, Gujarat opted into the Austrian Empire through the signing of the Treaty of Ahmedabad (shown left).
Gujarat under Austria
The day after the new treaty was signed, the Gujarati parliament was under investigation by indian7p. All MP ranks would be temporarily disabled until the investigation was complete. This caused some confusion from the MPs, but it was said by Indian that the target of the investigation was Prime Minister navyaxD. This was because Navya had positive relations with the town of Kraftier and the nation of Kosovo, but poor relations with Nubia, which had been allies with Gujarat since the 20th of June. After Navya agreed to break all ties with Kraftier, Indian's investigation ended. However, Navya's Prime Minister rank would not be returned to him until the 15th, as Indian became irritated when Navya asked him for his rank back.
Involvement with Pakistan
During a border conflict between Pakistan and Persia in late September, the council sided with Pakistan despite being enemies. This initiated peace talks with Jayden, the leader of Pakistan. If Pakistan became neutral or allied with Gujarat, the council would fund Jayden to aid him during the war. Jayden agreed to make a vote and let his people decide on whether his country should make peace with Gujarat. However, no conclusion was ever formally reached, and thus the two nations remained at odds. One possible explanation for why this was could be that Pakistan was an enemy of The Syndicate, a group of nations which the Austrian Empire was in. However, no particular reason for Jayden's abrupt abandonment of the summit was communicated.
The Veto Controversy
On the 22nd, navyaxD and a new MP, InfiniteTapWater, brought up an important issue during a council discussion: indian7p's powers as president. They cited the power of the veto as a reason why Indian had too much control over the government. Indian elaborated on his policy by stating, "Veto power only exists if the thing you are voting on exists or is in process, affects individual towns drastically or changes the political structure (where it is voted by citizens in general elections)." In a discussion regarding a tax bill by InfiniteTapWater, Indian also stated that taxation efforts would also be vetoed.
Resigned contracts in the start of November however Austria within 24 hours decided to breach it and Gujarat left (Austria was lying by saying Austria kicked Gujarat).
On the 19th of November 2020, Gujarat became one of four founding nations of the Darya Pact.
Soon after the events of the Darya Pact, false rumors began spreading of a Gujarati declaration of war against the Maurya Dynasty. indian7p addressed the allegations by stating they were indeed fake, and that someone had been impersonating him. Some confusion arose from this event, but no formal declarations were made.
