Draconis Empire

Government
Draconis is led by President Helios, who is formerly a citizen of Uvin. As such when Draconis declared itself, Uvin was the first nation to recognize Draconis. Draconis is run by Representitives, elected every four years, by the people. These Representitives live in Shinigami for the extent of their terms. there are no limit in the number of terms a Representitive may serve, however, if a Representitive is removed from office, for any reason, he/she is not allowed to run again.

President
The first and current president of Draconis is President Jacob Helios III, former citizen of Uvin. While still in Uvin, he started Helios Aeronautical Inc.(HA), the main producer of all aircraft and aircraft parts within the country. When Uvin decided to make a colonies on the newly discovered Draconis Islands, Helios resigned his post in HA to lead a group to the islands and set up a colony. After several years, Uvin entered the Great War, and due to enormous destruction in Uvin, it severed connection with the colony of Draconis, and the Draconis Empire was born. The citizens of the new nation elected Helios as the leader, who then set up the same form of government of Uvin.

Elections of the President
Elections for the President of Draconis are held every 5 years, and has no limit to how many times a person can run. From the first election on, Draconis has elected, by a large percentage of the vote, Helios as the President.

Lost Language
During an expedition in April 2007 a research team from the Karakura Marine College found ancient ruins that had been abandoned Hundreds of years ago underwater about 2 miles southwest of Karakura. Unknown writing was found on the ruins. This language seems to use symbols for sounds considering the number of different symbols found in the ruins. This language has since been named Draconian.

ID System
The ID system is the governments way of keeping track of people. At birth the persons DNA is taken and is put into the system with its' name, ID number, sex and anything else that is needed.

The Great War however began draining resources from Uvin, it was no longer able to send supplies and aid to the colony. As Uvin began getting hit harder and harder, more and more civilians began fleeing most left for other countries but others for the colony. Half way through the war Uvin officially cut contact with the colony and told the colony it would need to fend for itself. The colony(now the nation of Draconis) decided to elect the CEO of Helios Aeronautical, Inc. as its leader.
