| intro = '''Ingerish Asperia''', officially the '''Province of Ingerish Asperia''', is the northernmost province of [[Deodeca]]. The state's name derives from the historic regional name for the western coast of Astrasia; Asperia. Ingerish Asperia has just over 10 million people, mainly concentrated in the four major cities. The province sits upon a large jutting peninsula and is often called the "Horn of Deodeca". It has an international border with AR043 to the west. Ingerish Asperia is known for its mountains, hilly regions, arable flatlands, and extensive coast. Ingerish Asperia's proximity to oceans gives it an overall mild, oceanic climate that provides bountiful precipitation and humidity for the province's major agricultural areas. The western coast is more prone to seaborne storms and winds however.

The '''Government of the [[Bai Empire]]''' is a semi-constitutional parliamentary democracy that consists of the monarch and the five branches of government, modelled on the political philosophy of Bai democracy set out by Prince Hu Fengyao and Ying Masun. Historically, Bai was under an absolute monarchy prior to the Middle Bai Dynasty, with ''de facto'' separate branches of the Censorate and Examination for government officials. The current system introduced the legislature and the judiciary. 


==Etymology==
The current government was founded on the 1962 Fengyang Constitution of the Bai Empire. Unlike most nations, the government is divided into five branches: the Executive Yuan (cabinet and monarch), the Legislative Yuan (parliament), the Judicial Yuan, the Censure Yuan (audit agency), and the Examination Yuan (civil service examination agency).
The Colony of Ingerish Asperia was named by Queen Charlotte of the Ingerish Empire in the early 1700s upon its declaration. The name refers to the historic Ulethan name for the southwest coast of Astrasia, and Queen Charlotte decided to add the term "Ingerish" to differentiate it from extensive Franquese claims to the south.


In practice, the system resembles a semi-constitutional system with a uniquely strong monarchy, as the Emperor may dismiss the Chancellor, the head of government, without the consent of the legislature. The Emperor, however, shares limitations found in other constitution systems, including the lack of a strong veto and no direct control of most administrative policy.

| paragraph = Geldoff Umbra, in office 1700—1725, was the first Lieutenant-Governor of the Colony of Ingerish Asperia (now province). He is regarded highly as an influential figure in the early formation of Ingerish Asperia, through policies that promoted democracy and universal equality. Umbra was born to a wealthy family in Winburgh and followed his father in politics. He was announced as Lieutenant Governor in 1699 by Queen Charlotte and promoted. Initially skeptical of working in a far-flung colony, Umbra quickly rose to a respected position in the colonial world. His long-lasting influence can be seen in the educational and scholarly facilities in Ingerish Asperian cities. The town of Umbra River and according river were named in his honour shortly after his commencement as Lieutenant-Governor. He died in 1725 after 25 years of service.

| paragraph = '''Emperor Chenghong''', personal name '''Hu Fengyao''' and also known colloquially as '''Prince Hu''', was a [[Bai Empire|Bai]] monarch who founded the [[Middle Bai Dynasty]]. Reigning as the first Emperor of Middle Bai from 1798 to 1819, he was the first Bai Emperor to institute and implement a democratic constitutional government. Due to his legacy in restoring Bai's status as a regional power and establishing a democratic system, he remained one of the most widely-revered figures in Bai history.<br>Born in 1752, he was the nephew of the last reigning Lin Emperor Rentong. His exile overseas, particularly in [[Mauretia]] and the [[Federal States]], led to him embracing democratic ideals and establishing his political philosophy of Bai Democracy (Bairen Minzhu). In the 1770s, rallying with overseas Bai intellectuals, he emerged as the leading figure calling for the overthrowing of the Lin Dynasty and the establishment of a democratic constitutional monarchy.<br> Returning to Bai in 1780, he was immediately placed under house arrest by his cousin, who saw him as a contender to the throne. Prince Hu ascended the throne as the Chenghong Emperor following the Huifu Restoration in 1798. As Emperor, he enacted the Chenghong Constitution which established the constitutional government still existing today. Under him, Bai grew more independent of its Ulethan overlords, transforming into a regional power and managing to renegotiate trade treaties with Ulethan powers. The Empire underwent rapid modernisation and reformation as Prince Hu championed respect for civil rights and vibrant economic growth. Hu eventually died of gallbladder cancer in 1819.

| paragraph = Yu Zeming (Baiyu: 于泽冥; 31 October 1901 – 4 June 1989) was a Bai prince, revolutionary and military leader who ruled Bai as its Crown Regent from 1962 to 1989. Having reunified Bai through the Eastern Expedition and restored the monarchy, he continued to preside over Bai's redevelopment and oversaw its transformation into a developed country and regional power in Northern Archanta. His rule was commonly known as the Regency Era, which has been criticised as authoritarian, with mass persecution of political critics, purging of other warlords and imposition of martial law over certain areas of the country.<br>Born in Huoyuan, Neilu Province, Yu was initially a member of his father's Bai Fascist Solidatory Party (BFSP). Following political differences with his father, he and his wife Chang Meisheng defected from the regime and remained in Izaland for the remainder of the fascist era. Returning to Bai in the 1950s, he established a new government and organised a coalition of forces (including warlords of Fascist remnants) known as the New Alliance for the Reunification of the Bai People. As commander-in-chief, he led the Eastern Expedition, defeated the various factions and reunified Bai in 1962. Through a referendum, he restored the Bai monarchy but installed his son as the de jure head of state while he continued to rule as the country's de facto leader.<br> Under his tenure as Crown Regent, he began his Weixin Programme to reconstruct and re-develop Bai through restoring and modernising the national road and rail systems and establishing new economic zones for trade with the outside world. The re-establishment of ties with foreign powers and foreign-direct investments of the 60s and 70s led to the recovery of the Empire's economy, which became industrialized and technology-oriented. In the 80s, he began to delegate more authority to his son, and successfully bided and hosted the Xiongjing [[Pax Nova]] Games in 1988. Shortly after, on 4 June 1989, he died of a fatal stroke and was given a royal funeral. He was buried {{relation|284597|in a masoleum}} on the hill along with the other former Middle Bai Emperors.}}

The head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces is the Emperor, who wields significant executive and legislative power. Currently, the Fengyang Emperor is the Emperor of the country. The Emperor has the power to appoint the Chancellor (Zongli Dachen), members of the Censure Yuan, members of the Gaojiyuan, provincial governors and Dao viceroys. He also has the power to nominate judges for the Supreme Court, which requires the approval of the Censure Yuan. The Emperor is able to veto laws, issue edicts and royal pardons, dissolve the Yihuiting, change certain aspects of the constitution, declare war or impose martial law. However, edicts issued, amendments to the constitution or the implementation martial law are only effective for up to three months, and generally require the approval of the Yihuiting or the Gaojiyuan to be extended or made permanent. The Emperor cannot amend the fundamental principles of the constitution, as expressed in the articles guaranteeing human dignity, the separation of powers, the federal structure, and the rule of law.

The Chancellor of the Bai Empire, also known as the Zongli Dachen (Baiyu: 总理大臣), is the head of government in the Bai Empire and the leader of the Bai Cabinet. Under the semi-constitutional monarchy system of the Empire, many considered the position to be the second-highest office after the Emperor. Working directly with the Emperor, the Chancellor commands the legislative process and has powers that include dictating the agenda of the Gaoyuanhui and selecting a cabinet. The Chancellor is appointed by the Emperor and must enjoy the confidence of the Yihuiting (lower house) to remain in office. As such, the Chancellor is typically the leading figure of the majority party in the Yihuiting.


===Agencies===
The Chancellor serves for up to two six-year terms. The powers of the Chancellor are limited, and the Chancellor can be removed via impeachment of the Censure Yuan, a loss in confidence by the Yihuiting, or dismissal by the Emperor. The incumbent Chancellor is Huang Cailin, who took office on 7 July 2022.
 
===Legislature===

The Empire's legislative organ is the Imperial Congress. It is a bicaramel parliament consisting of the Renmin Yihuiting (People's Senate) and the Gaojiyuan (High Council). Members of the Yihuiting are elected by popular vote through elections, usually held every five years. Yihuiting members could also be recalled and a by-election would be held to replace the removed member. Members of the Gaoyuanhui are elected by the provincial legislatures and/or appointed by the Emperor, with the recommendation of the Chancellor. Voting is mandatory for eligible adults over 18 years of age, with a secret ballot for all elected offices.

===Subagencies===
====Department of Justice====
 
The Department of Justice is responsible for the criminal, judicial, and law enforcement aspects of Ingerish Asperia. This ranges from police to prison services.
=====Police=====
[[File:IA PoliceBadge.PNG|200px|thumb|left|POLIA Badge]]
 
The main police force of Ingerish Asperia is the Royal Ingerish Asperian Police (POLIA). The force operates at the provincial level and is responsible for enforcing provincial law. The force has a long and dignified history. It originally formed in 17XX and managed one of the largest police districts in the colony. The nickname "The Old E", comes from the force's original designation as the E Division of the Deodecan Colonial Police. When the colony formed provinces, the majority of the E Division was redesignated as the Royal Police Force of Ingerish Asperia.
 
POLIA's main training facility is located in the suburb of Tesecombe in western New Reydon. It also operates a secondary water-training facility in Tidonmouth. The Ingerish Asperian Police Musuem in New Reydon features a collection of police memorabilia, exhibitions, and details on the history of the force.  
 
POLIA has recently increased focus on highway patrols and alcohol and drug testing.
 
=====Corrective Services=====
 
Corrective Services IA is the province-wide correctional service. It maintains a number of prisons, detention centers, and temporary holding facilities. Prisons with the prefix "HM" denote a more historical prison. Newer prisons avoid the "HM" prefix, after the Prison Convention Act of 1935 enforced prisons to not use it for naming conventions. In 2022, the prison population of Ingerish Asperia was 16,450 people, with an incarceration rate of 162 out of 100,000 people.
 
The profile of an average Ingerish Asperian prisoner in 2022 was:
* Male
* 30-50 years old
* Uneducated
* Had a previous conviction record
* Single, or with a ''de facto'' partner
* Tended to live in more rural areas
 
In 1989, HM Prison Evesdrove was decommissioned following a devasting electrical fire that damaged most of the historic cell blocks. No prisoners or staff were harmed, but given the age of the prison and the space in other prisons, it was decommissioned by the government. Coincidentally, the decommissioning  in 1989 was exactly 100 years after its opening in 1889.

====Department of Transport====
The Department of Transport is responsible for maintaining the infrastructure of Ingerish Asperia. As of 2022, they are also responsible for the provincial fire and rescue service as they are used to conduct road maintenance and repairs. However, the Archehurst government is looking to add a new department called the Department of Emergency Services, which would encompass all emergency agencies including FRIA, RFS, etc.  
=====Fire=====
[[File:IA FireLogo.png|200px|thumb|left|FRIA Badge]]
The Royal Ingerish Asperian Fire and Rescue Service (FRIA) is the main fire service in metropolitan and semi-rural Ingerish Asperia. In the 20th century, the force formed a seperate divsion, the Rural Fire Service (RFS), to operate in more remote and less populated regions as a volunteer service. FRIA also has search-and-rescue capabilities and is mainly responsible for remote rescues, vehicles crashes and sea patrols.


==Economy==
The head of government is the Chancellor, who is also the leader of the Yihuiting. Appointed by the Emperor, he must have the support of a majority of the Yihuiting. Working directly with the monarch, he commands the legislative process and has powers that include dictating the agenda of the Gaojiyuan and selecting a cabinet. The cabinet members convene with the Chancellor to discuss policy, craft agenda and set a course for the government. Like other members of the Yihuiting, he could be dismissed by the Emperor or impeached by the Censure Yuan.

===Judiciary===
| name = Ingerish Asperia
[[File:Constitutional Court of Korea (2015).jpg|thumb|200px|The Supreme Court]]
| economy_type = mixed
The Judicial Yuan is the highest judicial organ. It interprets the constitution and other laws and decrees, judges administrative suits, and disciplines public functionaries. The president and vice-president of the Judicial Yuan and additional thirteen justices form the Council of Grand Justices. They are nominated by the Emperor, with the consent of the Censure Yuan. The judges can be removed by the Censure Yuan. The highest court, the Supreme Court, consists of several civil and criminal divisions, each of which is formed by a presiding judge and four associate judges, all appointed for life. In 1993, a separate constitutional court was established to resolve constitutional disputes. There is no trial by jury but the right to a fair public trial is protected by law and respected in practice; many cases are presided over by multiple judges.

===Censorate===

The Censure Yuan is the auditing agency (censorate) for the Bai Empire that monitors, regulates and disciplines government officials and their activities. The current Censure Yuan is based on the censorate, a separate supervisory branch in previous dynasties. Like the previous censorates, it has the powers to impeach government officials, including the Chancellor, following which the cases would be forwarded to the Judicial Yuan for adjudication. Members of the Censure Yuan are nominated by the Gaojiyuan and appointed by the Emperor. In addition, the Censure also audits the national budget.

The Government of the Bai Empire is a semi-constitutional parliamentary democracy that consists of the monarch and the five branches of government, modelled on the political philosophy of Bai democracy set out by Prince Hu Fengyao and Ying Masun. Historically, Bai was under an absolute monarchy prior to the Middle Bai Dynasty, with de facto separate branches of the Censorate and Examination for government officials. The current system introduced the legislature and the judiciary.

The current government was founded on the 1962 Fengyang Constitution of the Bai Empire. Unlike most nations, the government is divided into five branches: the Executive Yuan (cabinet and monarch), the Legislative Yuan (parliament), the Judicial Yuan, the Censure Yuan (audit agency), and the Examination Yuan (civil service examination agency).

In practice, the system resembles a semi-constitutional system with a uniquely strong monarchy, as the Emperor may dismiss the Chancellor, the head of government, without the consent of the legislature. The Emperor, however, shares limitations found in other constitution systems, including the lack of a strong veto and no direct control of most administrative policy.

History

Huangdi 皇帝
2ndPrinceChun1.jpg
Emperor Chenghong, personal name Hu Fengyao and also known colloquially as Prince Hu, was a Bai monarch who founded the Middle Bai Dynasty. Reigning as the first Emperor of Middle Bai from 1798 to 1819, he was the first Bai Emperor to institute and implement a democratic constitutional government. Due to his legacy in restoring Bai's status as a regional power and establishing a democratic system, he remained one of the most widely-revered figures in Bai history.
Born in 1752, he was the nephew of the last reigning Lin Emperor Rentong. His exile overseas, particularly in Mauretia and the Federal States, led to him embracing democratic ideals and establishing his political philosophy of Bai Democracy (Bairen Minzhu). In the 1770s, rallying with overseas Bai intellectuals, he emerged as the leading figure calling for the overthrowing of the Lin Dynasty and the establishment of a democratic constitutional monarchy.
Returning to Bai in 1780, he was immediately placed under house arrest by his cousin, who saw him as a contender to the throne. Prince Hu ascended the throne as the Chenghong Emperor following the Huifu Restoration in 1798. As Emperor, he enacted the Chenghong Constitution which established the constitutional government still existing today. Under him, Bai grew more independent of its Ulethan overlords, transforming into a regional power and managing to renegotiate trade treaties with Ulethan powers. The Empire underwent rapid modernisation and reformation as Prince Hu championed respect for civil rights and vibrant economic growth. Hu eventually died of gallbladder cancer in 1819.

Birth: 31 October 1901, Huoyuan, Bai EmpireDeath: 4 June 1989
Regent Yu in 1980.jpg
Yu Zeming (Baiyu: 于泽冥; 31 October 1901 – 4 June 1989) was a Bai prince, revolutionary and military leader who ruled Bai as its Crown Regent from 1962 to 1989. Having reunified Bai through the Eastern Expedition and restored the monarchy, he continued to preside over Bai's redevelopment and oversaw its transformation into a developed country and regional power in Northern Archanta. His rule was commonly known as the Regency Era, which has been criticised as authoritarian, with mass persecution of political critics, purging of other warlords and imposition of martial law over certain areas of the country.
Born in Huoyuan, Neilu Province, Yu was initially a member of his father's Bai Fascist Solidatory Party (BFSP). Following political differences with his father, he and his wife Chang Meisheng defected from the regime and remained in Izaland for the remainder of the fascist era. Returning to Bai in the 1950s, he established a new government and organised a coalition of forces (including warlords of Fascist remnants) known as the New Alliance for the Reunification of the Bai People. As commander-in-chief, he led the Eastern Expedition, defeated the various factions and reunified Bai in 1962. Through a referendum, he restored the Bai monarchy but installed his son as the de jure head of state while he continued to rule as the country's de facto leader.
Under his tenure as Crown Regent, he began his Weixin Programme to reconstruct and re-develop Bai through restoring and modernising the national road and rail systems and establishing new economic zones for trade with the outside world. The re-establishment of ties with foreign powers and foreign-direct investments of the 60s and 70s led to the recovery of the Empire's economy, which became industrialized and technology-oriented. In the 80s, he began to delegate more authority to his son, and successfully bided and hosted the Xiongjing Pax Nova Games in 1988. Shortly after, on 4 June 1989, he died of a fatal stroke and was given a royal funeral. He was buried in a masoleum∈⊾ on the hill along with the other former Middle Bai Emperors.

Organisational structure

The Emperor

Birth: 5 July 1941, Saindaul, Izaland
Other names: Yu Jianshi 于坚石
Huangdi 皇帝
Official portrait of the Fengyang Emperor.jpg
Emperor Fengyang (Baiyu: 丰阳帝), personal name Yu Jianshi (Baiyu: 于坚石), is the reigning monarch of the Bai Empire. While he ascended the throne in 1962, he only assumed its executive powers in 1989. His father, Yu Zeming, ruled on his behalf as Crown Regent during the Regent Era. He is the only son of Princess Chang Meisheng and the grandson of the last Middle Bai Emperor Yongren. Born in 1941 during the War of Fellow Brothers, he was raised and educated in Izaland when his father defected from the Fascist regime. Through arrangements for Bai's political future, Yu was made Emperor of Bai, though his executive powers were discharged to his father. In the early years of his reign, he returned to Izaland to complete his studies and married Izaki Mahkaui Tyen Hoina, and only returned to Bai in 1971. During the 70s and 80s, he slowly assumed administrative and ceremonial duties, in preparation to take over his father as leader.

The head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces is the Emperor, who wields significant executive and legislative power. Currently, the Fengyang Emperor is the Emperor of the country. The Emperor has the power to appoint the Chancellor (Zongli Dachen), members of the Censure Yuan, members of the Gaojiyuan, provincial governors and Dao viceroys. He also has the power to nominate judges for the Supreme Court, which requires the approval of the Censure Yuan. The Emperor is able to veto laws, issue edicts and royal pardons, dissolve the Yihuiting, change certain aspects of the constitution, declare war or impose martial law. However, edicts issued, amendments to the constitution or the implementation martial law are only effective for up to three months, and generally require the approval of the Yihuiting or the Gaojiyuan to be extended or made permanent. The Emperor cannot amend the fundamental principles of the constitution, as expressed in the articles guaranteeing human dignity, the separation of powers, the federal structure, and the rule of law.

The Chancellor


Ambox glass.svg  Snapshot: Huang Cailin 黄财林 
Birth: 18 December 1971, Tangxun, Bai Empire
Huang Cailin.jpg
Huang Cailin (Baiyu: 黄财林), is a Bai politician serving as the incumbent Chancellor of the Bai Empire and the secretary-general of the governing Xingongrenhui. Previously, he had served as Deputy Prime Minister from 2017 to 2022. As a Member of the Yihuiting since 2005, he represented the Tangxun electoral constituency. Prior to entering politics, Huang was a civil servant working in the ministries of trade and industry, finance and health, and was the personal secretary for various Chancellors from 2014 onwards.

The Chancellor of the Bai Empire, also known as the Zongli Dachen (Baiyu: 总理大臣), is the head of government in the Bai Empire and the leader of the Bai Cabinet. Under the semi-constitutional monarchy system of the Empire, many considered the position to be the second-highest office after the Emperor. Working directly with the Emperor, the Chancellor commands the legislative process and has powers that include dictating the agenda of the Gaoyuanhui and selecting a cabinet. The Chancellor is appointed by the Emperor and must enjoy the confidence of the Yihuiting (lower house) to remain in office. As such, the Chancellor is typically the leading figure of the majority party in the Yihuiting.

The Chancellor serves for up to two six-year terms. The powers of the Chancellor are limited, and the Chancellor can be removed via impeachment of the Censure Yuan, a loss in confidence by the Yihuiting, or dismissal by the Emperor. The incumbent Chancellor is Huang Cailin, who took office on 7 July 2022.

Legislature

The interior of the Renmin Yihuiting

The Empire's legislative organ is the Imperial Congress. It is a bicaramel parliament consisting of the Renmin Yihuiting (People's Senate) and the Gaojiyuan (High Council). Members of the Yihuiting are elected by popular vote through elections, usually held every five years. Yihuiting members could also be recalled and a by-election would be held to replace the removed member. Members of the Gaoyuanhui are elected by the provincial legislatures and/or appointed by the Emperor, with the recommendation of the Chancellor. Voting is mandatory for eligible adults over 18 years of age, with a secret ballot for all elected offices.

The head of government is the Chancellor, who is also the leader of the Yihuiting. Appointed by the Emperor, he must have the support of a majority of the Yihuiting. Working directly with the monarch, he commands the legislative process and has powers that include dictating the agenda of the Gaojiyuan and selecting a cabinet. The cabinet members convene with the Chancellor to discuss policy, craft agenda and set a course for the government. Like other members of the Yihuiting, he could be dismissed by the Emperor or impeached by the Censure Yuan.

Judiciary

The Supreme Court

The Judicial Yuan is the highest judicial organ. It interprets the constitution and other laws and decrees, judges administrative suits, and disciplines public functionaries. The president and vice-president of the Judicial Yuan and additional thirteen justices form the Council of Grand Justices. They are nominated by the Emperor, with the consent of the Censure Yuan. The judges can be removed by the Censure Yuan. The highest court, the Supreme Court, consists of several civil and criminal divisions, each of which is formed by a presiding judge and four associate judges, all appointed for life. In 1993, a separate constitutional court was established to resolve constitutional disputes. There is no trial by jury but the right to a fair public trial is protected by law and respected in practice; many cases are presided over by multiple judges.

Censorate

The Censure Yuan is the auditing agency (censorate) for the Bai Empire that monitors, regulates and disciplines government officials and their activities. The current Censure Yuan is based on the censorate, a separate supervisory branch in previous dynasties. Like the previous censorates, it has the powers to impeach government officials, including the Chancellor, following which the cases would be forwarded to the Judicial Yuan for adjudication. Members of the Censure Yuan are nominated by the Gaojiyuan and appointed by the Emperor. In addition, the Censure also audits the national budget.

Civil service commission

The Examination Yuan is in charge of validating the qualification of civil servants. A revised model of the old imperial examination system used in previous dynasties, its activities have recently been expanded to cover the national education system. The members of the Examination are nominated by the Censure Yuan and appointed by the Emperor.
