History
The Republic was born when a referendum in the Principality was held to make the official cross-over to a Republic. While the citizens of the Principality had the same rights and privileges as people in the old liberal democracies in the Western World, the nation was a de facto Monarchy. The only major change instituted by the referendum was the name and reorganization of executive power to a President, away from the Prince. The Principality, and the new nation formed afterward, were able to avert many of the issues faced with the word after the destruction of most old world. A few days after the reorganization, the Republic joined LOSS, and entered the Pink Trading Team (from originally being neutral.) Since then, it has expanded greatly into southern France and Northwestern Italy. The economy is strong, and is based on high technological standards and excellent trading connections.

Political Structure
The Prince (who is still a son or daughter of the Grimaldi Family ) is the de facto Head of State (in a similar, but not the same fashion as the Queen of England.), and is beloved by the people. The President is the de jure Head of State and full Head of Government. He is elected every 4 years (and can only serve 2 terms), and runs an administration and government in the same style the Government of the United States was once run. After the election, he is offically asked by the Prince to form the government. The Judiciary, which is a independent branch of government, is headed by the Supreme Constitutional Court of the Republic, and its organization is subject to the Parliament. The Parliament consists of 500 members, all of which are directly elected by their home districts. The Parliament is the legislative branch of government, and creates and enacts all of its laws. (Same powers as US Congress.) The Republic holds the rights of citizens and the rule of law above all, and its ideals and principals are encased in the Constitution. Elections are paramount.
