The Federal Republic of Wendmark-Đenkuku, commonly referred to as "Wendmark-Đenkuku" or "Wendmark-Dzenkuku", is a country in southeast Uletha. The denonym for Wendmark-Đenkuku is Wenđen. Wendmark-Dzenkuku borders Eshein to the north, the Sanain Republic to the west, Izaland to the south, and the Gulf of Volta to the east.
The country's capital is Eulerhafen, located between Wendmark and Đenkuku, with other major cities including Weidenburg, Windischdorf, Shirariushnay, Hakusmero, Intsoi, Sakigira, Kiroraya, Steinfurt-Lindenwald, and Bergerau. Around 13 million people live in the country, a significant portion of whom live in coastal and riverside communities.
Wendmark-Đenkuku is a bilingual country -- its two official languages are Kalmish and Izaki, and both languages are taught simultaneously starting in primary school. Other minority languages include Sanian, Eshen, and the Ainu language.
The country holds a highly developed economy, historically a workhorse in the transportation sector, with a long and storied history of manufacturing trains, ships, and aircraft. The country also houses a strong agriculture and technology sector. In recent years, Wendmark-Đenkuku expanded into communications, services, finance, and tourism.
History
 The history of Wendmark-Đenkuku is still a work in progress! 🛠️

Pre-1300s
Before the 14th century, Wendmark-Dzenkuku was defined by periods of Izaki and independent rule in Dzenkuku, and a weak Kalmish empire comprised of many fragmented kingdoms. Many Wendisch kingdoms traded with Đenkuku and the Ipseris Kingdom, and the general region benefitted from the trade and prospered.
By 1290, Blönnish speratists have overthrown the Kalmish Empire and asserted control over modern day Eshein, Blönland, Saikyel, and Wendmark. The latter three ultimately conslidated into the Kingdom of Blönland.
In Đenkuku, the Izakis have incorporated the region under their rule, under the Sopershun as many smaller Kingdoms were gradually assimilated. Đenkuku eventually fell under the control of the Ipseris Kingdom after a series of mainland conquests, allowing for the region to exeprience Izaland's golden age of profound technological and intellectual prosperity
1300-1845: Foreign Control and Breakaway Kingdoms
Blönnish Control (1300-1845)
By 1300, Wendmark is under the full colonial control of Blönland, which participated in rapid resource extraction from Wendmark.
Kingdom of the Northern Heights (1300-1362)
Taking advantage of the geographical seperation between Đenkuku and Mainland Izaland, as well as the collapse of the Ipseris Kingdom, the Kingdom of the Northern Heights broke away and formed its own government. However, in 1362, a series of droughts and financial mismanagement marked its collapse, and various breakaway kingdoms were formed. Under the squabble for control, Blönland took control of modern day Bergerau, Anneberg, and the Nizovid Lakes.
Awangusain and Nakai Kingdoms (1420-1876)
Đenkuku was once again under the control of Izaki Kingdoms after the Awangusain participated in the Northern Heights Conquest, where the majority of kingdoms in Đenkuku were subjugated. After the Nahan War between the Awangusain and Nakai Kingdoms, Đenkuku was brought under control of the Nakai Kingdom in 1553.
Conflicts in the Region
During this period, the Nakai and Blönnish Kingdoms at times violently fought over land in the region. The most notable military conflict was the Six Months Campaign, where the Nakai Kingdom captured all land up to the river Widau. The frequent military skirmishes around the country, especially towards the latter end of the period, alongside political tensions back at home, eventually led to the collapse of Blönland and would eventually begin a period of instability in the wider region.
1846-1901: Rise of Nationalism
Ostland Free State (1846-1901)
A series of power struggles within the Kingdom of Blönland led to its collapse, in which Ostland was put in place as its successor, under which Wendmark was a state, athough it was still considered "second-class," with Blönland forcibly siezing ports in Weidenburg for military use and the construction of warships. This period under Ostland spelt massive unrest in the general population, one which rejected foreign interference.
In 1862, after bouts of riots and political unrest, the Ostlandic government conceded control in Wendmark and gave it autonomy, and later in 1874, it was placed under a confederacy. Although this placed Wendmark under de facto autonomy, the central Ostlandic government still retained significant power through its naval and army bases around the region, as well as using secret police to puppeteer Wendmark.
Many Ostlandic policies forced Wendmark to sever trading ties with Đenkuku, sparking even more outrage and immigration. Many illegal markets emerged to continue the centuries-long trade between the two regions.
The Great Flee, starting in 1872 and lasting a decade saw many people in Ostland-occupied Wendmark to seek refuge in Đenkuku as Ostland began to prosecute and jail poitical dissidents and those who violated foreign trading policies.
First Izaland Republic (1877-1902)
Although Đenkuku was previously relatively isolated from the Nakai Kingdom, control would once again be conslidated under Izaland. After the Panaireki Revolution, the First Izaland Republic was born. A renewed wave of political panic ensued, after many leaders who witnessed the Great Flee began to campaign for more autonomy from Izaland.
Talks of Unification (1884-1902)
It was in 1884 where leaders of both regions began to hold biannual conferences that encouraged the revolutionary arms of both Wendisch and Đenkukese populations to work together and establish independence. A coalition quickly formed between both revolutionary governments, where both Wendmark and Đenkuku worked together to expel foreign influence.
Sunbird Movement (1889-1893)
Alongside the establishment of revolutionary forces, both Wendmark and Đenkuku expierenced a wave of protest and political turmoil advocating for greater cooperation along the river Widau.
1901-Great War: Chaos and the Birth of a Republic
Nine Months War (1901)
By 1901, Ostland was rapidly deteriorating due to a failing economy and a power imbalance between Blönland, Saikyel, and Wendmark-Đenkuku, with the latter two weaker than the former. After a Blönnish raid in Eulerhafen which resulted in the capture and death of nine Wendisch revolutionaries, major public uprisings and the formation of militias jumpstarted warfare prematurely. With the aid of Đenkukese troops and militiamen, Wendmark captured many Blönnish military installations as Ostland finally collapsed into Blönland, Saikyel, and Wendmark-Đenkuku. Wendmark was placed under the National Provisional Government, the first time in centures that Wendmark had established any sort of independence.
Đenkuku Refendum and the One Hundred Days Crisis (1901-1902)
After the conclusion of the Nine Months War, after which Wendmark was placed under a provisional government, its Đenkuku revolutionary counterparts began to organize plans of its own to leave Izaland. An exit refendum was issued illegally by the local government, which passed 58% to 38%, in which Đenkuku notified the central Izaki government that it was succeeding and forming a seperate government.
Two days after the referendum, Izaki forces staged a coup in Temunnay (the capitol of Đenkuku at the time) and occupied all government buildings, preventing lawmakers from entering and approving the vote. As a result, the National Provisional Government in Wendmark extended its deadline by two additional years and began modifying its constitution to accommodate for the entry of Đenkuku. This sparked an intense rivalry between the Provisional Government and Izaland. The Đenkuku government relocated in Hakusmero twenty days later and passed an unanimous vote to break away from Izaland and join the National Provisional Government.
After immense international and domestic pressure, complimented by immense internal political tensions between rival factions, the newborn Izaki republic had little appetite for warfare. Wendisch forces crossed the border to help Đenkuku take over Izaki ports and military bases, and Izaland withdrew from Temunnay just thirty days after the initial coup was staged. Although no war officially happened, the diplomatic situation between the Provisional Government and Izaland continued to deteriorate until the Treaty of Obaitolo-Sebaskai was signed on October 1st, just two days before Izaland had a coup of its own. This diplomatic incident launched an era of diplomatic cutoff between Wendmark-Đenkuku and Izaland (as well as Blönland) until the end of the Great War.
Unification (1902-1904)
Because of the threat of foreign invasion, as well as the already deepening political, social, and economic unification happening in the country, Đenkuku and Wendmark revolutionaries overwhelmingly voted to formally unite under a central government. A new location was chosen: Eulerhafen, a bustling port situated between the two regions. The founding members of the nation pushed for a new constitution that ensured the rights and relative equality of all citizens.
Political Isolation and Mutual Support (1905-Great War)
Wendmark-Đenkuku transitioned into political isolation, as the government persued neutrality and isolation from Blönland and Izaland. The government began to expand trade with Saikyel, and Eshein, as well as maritime trade to Terolask and beyond. The central government began to invest heavily in industries and resource extraction. As a result, its industries began to boom and the country saw immense economic growth.
Great War-Present: Globalism
Great War [TBD]
Economic and Political Integration (1950-Present)
After the economic devistation of the region that the Great War has brought to the region, Wendmark-Đenkuku formed EUEC, an economic union that encouraged trade with Canterra and Izaland in 19[TBD].
In 1954, the it cofounded the East Ulethan Organization of Intergovernmental Associates alongside Canterra, Esvolksmark, Filo Islands, Izaland, Kojo, Lantia, Terolask, and Wyster. Since then, it has enjoyed a relative peace and a second economic boom as the region continues to integrate politically and economically.
Like the rest of the EUOIA and Izaland, it persues global neutrality but adapted pro-EUOIA policies.

Government
Wendmark-Đenkuku is a Federal Parliamentary Republic, and its official head of state being the president. The executive branch is composed of six people, the five members of the Executive Council and the President of the country. The legislature is usually divided into two houses: the Senate and the Chamber of Representatives. The highest court Wendmark-Đenkuku is the Constitutional Court.
Executive Branch
The General Assembly convenes in every general election in which members elect new members of the Executive Council, nominated by the President. Usually, this is directly proportional to the party makeup of the Chamber of Representatives, with notable deviations in the elections of 1975 and 2000 when members voted across party lines. The President is elected by the people every general election.
The Executive Council is comprised of five voting and one nonvoting member, the nonvoting member being the President.
The President is voted directly by the people and are part of the Executive Branch but does not get a vote within the Executive Council. Instead, they serve to maintain decorum, setting agendas, and offer insight especially in the relm of foreign policies.

Ministries
The government holds twelve ministries, headed by the members of the executive council. Councilors can appoint ministers to fulfill their duties on their behalf. Ministries should not be confused with congressional committees, though they may work closely together as ministries have the knowledge and expertise. Ministries in the country include: Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishieries; Communications; Labor; Defense; Finance; Education and Research; Foreign Affairs; Internal Affairs; Transportation; Justice; Health; Energy; and the Enviornment
Legislative Branch
The legislature can be unicameral, bicameral, or tricameral. In most circumstances, the legislature is bicameral.
Chamber of Representatives
The Chamber of Representatives is the lower house of the legislature in which members are elected through Mixed Member Proportional Representation with overhang mandates, who serve term lengths of five years.
Senate
The Senate is the upper house of the legislature in which members are appointed by each state, who serve term lengths of five years.
General Assembly
The General Assembly occurs in special circumstances (listed later) in which the Senate and Chamber of Representatives meet in the same room and act as one, unified legislature.
Government Makeup
Unicameralism
The government can choose to be unicameral in only three circumstances: a ground invasion has occured on national soil, significant collapse of national infrastructure affecting five or more states, and significant humanitarian crises within the nation that affects more than five states. A unicameralist government is composed of the Senate and the Chamber of Representatives combined to facilitate faster decision-making. Both houses have to reach a consensus vote with a duration no less than 90 days in order to convene in a General Assembly and can choose to disband at any moment. In this mode of government, all power from the lower house and upper house is vested in the General Assembly and the Chamber of Representatives and the Senate do not meet. Additionally, a unicameralist government must reevaluate its worthiness every 30 days, and if the emergency has been resolved by each reevaluation, it must dissolve back into a bicameralist government.
Bicameralism
The government is usually bicameral in which there exists the lower house, the Chamber of Representatives, and the upper house, the Senate. The Chamber of Representatives is elected proportional to the population and the senators are appointed by each state for representation in the upper house. Senators are proportioned loosely on population that benefits smaller states. Specific powers are vested in the Chamber of Representatives (taxation, impeachment, etc...) and specific powers are vested in the Senate (confirmation, treaties, etc...). Both houses are allowed to draft and pass bills as long as bills reach and are approved by both houses of the legislature. If the Senate vetoes a bill, the Chamber of Representatives can choose to override the veto with a supermajority
Tricameralism
The legislature is tricameral when called upon by the Executive Council or by both houses for a duration no longer than two weeks and the Executive Council has been determined. In this mode, both houses regularly meet independently. The General Assembly is more limited in power during a Tricameral Government, only determining the makeup of the Executive Council, determining potential constitutional amendments, the formation of new ministries, the formation of new committees, and allocation or formation of committees, although the latter option is restricted in some manner by the constitution. The General Assembly is constitutionally required to convene once every five years most often to determine the appoint members of the executive council as well as shifting committees around, and less likely for pushing constitutional amendments. Both houses can decide to meet inside a general assembly outside of housekeeping periods if both parties agree to do so.
The Lawmaking Process
The Federal Government has complete control over matters that require uniform national policies, such as foreign policy, national currency, defense, and currency, whereas states have complete control over issue concerning local communities such as education, law enforcement, health, organizing elections. Both can collect taxes, borrow money, establish infrastructure, and establish court systems. In places where the constitution does not guarantee power to either party, the states get to choose to regulate that topic, and the federal government can guide the direction of said policies
Federal Laws
A law almost always originates from a committee, member of the legislature, the Executive, or by a citizen-initated proposal with at least 100,000 signatories of the country's signatures over a period of six months. That bill is assigned to an appropiate committee, who consults professionals in the appropiate field. After that, the committee sends the bill to the appropiate house in the legislature. After it is approved by both houses, it is sent to the appropiate executive (e.g., foreign policy and defense to the president and all else to the Executive Council), where it can be vetoed or sent back. If it's passed by the executive, it becomes law.
Consider the following bill: The Child Welfare Act of 1972
Constitutional Law
All government entities must follow the constitution of the nation.
Constitutional amendments require a supermajority approval (2/3) in the General Assembly, simple majority approval (1/2) in the Executive Council, and ratified by the legislatures in 12 states (4/5 of states). Alternatively, constitutional amendments can bypass the federal government through a referendum bill, but must be approved by a supermajority of voters and be ratified by 4/5 of all states.
National Law
The federal government can pass regulations in matters strictly concerning federal laws. They are applicable to all states immediately.
Framework Law
In matters where neither states or the federal government are given the right to regulate under the constitution, states get to the right to regulate, but must aheed to general federal frameworks. The federal government can regulate these laws by passing general guidelines that states must meet.
State Law
Laws passed by states concerning matters granted exclusively to states under the constitution.
Referendum Bills
Referendum bills is a mechanism added during the great war that allows national and state legislature to defer to citizens for contentious issues. A referendum bill, which can be proposed by a legislature or by citizens with signatories massing around 100,000 signatories over a period of six months, goes through the legislative process just like any other bill. However, in the Legislature and the Executive branch, the bill is evaluated for its worthiness to be deferred rather to be evaluated into law itself. Every national election allows for a referendum vote (every 5 years), although referendums may be called whenever parliament wants, and after a majority of voters approve (or in the case of constitutional amendments, 2/3 of all voters), is automatically passed into law. Only four referendums have been successful, including a referendum on joining the Great War and accession into the EUOIA.
Federal Committees
As stated above, there exists committees in which almost all laws pass through. Ministries often collaborate with committees, but is not required by law. Although the constitution technically allows committees to be shared between the two houses, it is unlikely for such an occurrence to happen. Currently, there is only one joint committee.

Judicial Branch
The Judicial Branch is in charge of interpreting, applying, and deciding the constitutionality of a law. The federal court system is independent to the state court system. Federal courts typically handle cases involving federal law, the constitution, and disputes between states. State courts deal with most matters but can only rule on state laws. In the state judiciaries, the highest level of appeal is usually the highest court in the state, unless if there is constitutional concern. The highest court in the whole country is Constitutional Court with fifteen justices appointed by the Executive Council and confirmed by the Chamber of Representatives, serving a term of 12 years.
Electoral Process
All organs except for the Federal Judicary must undergo elections. Standard elections occur every five years, with terms starting the second Monday of every January whose years are divisible by five.The people get to directly elect for the presidency and the Chamber of Representatives, while the states appoint Senators through their legislatures (although it is possible for states to allow for people to vote on their behalf). The Senate and Chamber of Representatives combine to form the General Assembly in order to assemble the new Executive Council afterwards. Usually, the Executive Council will be installed one or two weeks after the Legislature and the President enters power. In that timeframe, the previous Executive Council will still serve up until a new council is confirmed.
Flag
The flag of Wendmark-Đenkuku features a red side with a eight-pointed star centered. Each point represents two federal states, added in pairs. The top left blue triangle represents Wendmark, and the bottom right blue triangle represents Đenkuku. A white stripe runs between the two, representing both the river Widrau (the physical boundary between Wendmark and Đenkuku) as well as the unity between the two regions.
The color red represents courage, valour, and independence; the color blue represents the nation's bountiful rivers, lakes, and the sea; the color white represents unity and peace.

Administrative Structure
Subdivisions
Federal States
There are thirteen federal states in Wendmark-Đenkuku, six of which are part of Wendmark, six in Đenkuku, and one that spans both regions.
Federal States are further subdivided into cities, towns, and departments. Cities and towns represent urban communities, whereas departments administer rural regions outside of incorporated municipalities.
Second-Order Subdivisions: Cities, towns, and departments
Third-Order Subdivisions: Wards (only under cities)
Metropolitan States
There are two Metropolitan States in Wendmark-Đenkunku, the capitol Eulerhafen as well as the Cantor Island Chain.
Unlike Federal States, Metropolitan States are highly urbanized and densely populated. As a result, they do not use the city–town–department administrative structure. Instead, they are divided into boroughs and directly administered territories.
Second-Order Subdivisions: Boroughs and Directly Administered Territories
Semi-Autonomous States
There is one Semi-Autonomous State created in 1986 to represent the Ainu people.
Unlike Federal States or Metropolitian States, the Federal Government devolves much more power to Semi-Autonomous States. A compromise made is that Semi-Autonomous States are given less members in the federal legislatures than other states of comparable population.
Second-Order Subdivisions: Constituent Boroughs
Infrastucture
Rail Transportation
Wendmark-Đenkuku hosts an expansive railway network. The government is obligated to provide passenger rail services by law, and owns the state's largest railway company as well as all tracks.
