Kingdom of Phoenix

The KINGDOM OF PHOENIX ==

Origin

The Sovereign Kingdom Of Phoenix hereafter referred only as PHOENIX was established on June 11, 2009 by the Lord Council headed by His Highness Mr. ANKIT who also thereupon assumed the title of PRIME MINISTER. The PHOENIX initiated its journey from extremely humble beginings out of a group of Aryan, Dravidian, Caucasian, Maori and Mongloid etmylogical survivors of Apocalypse 2012 atop a wrecked ship on its way from Singapore which anchored on the devastated Auckland port. Together, they formed part of the Indian ethnicity which is the core populace of PHOENIX.

GOVERNANCE AND ALLIANCE

The Government of Phoenix (Abb. GOP), decided to apply for Veritas-Aequitas after carefuly vetting tons of alliance offers. Phoenix was formally admitted to VA on July 2, 2009.

Meanwhile, through an important legislation; the democratic form of governance paved way for Absolute but caring Monarchy where His Highness Mr. Ankit assumed the title of Monarch at its constitutional avataar. Likewise, Wellington was chosen to be the seat of Capital and Power. The Monarch is ably assisted in dispensing his national duties by the Cabinet headed by the Prime Minister. The Cabinet comprises of the following portfolios and each is managed by the Minister-in charge.

Ministry of Finance, Trade and Economy; Ministry of Infrastructure; Ministry of Defence; Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Information.

The Prime Minister and his cabinet is constitutionally elected through a universal adult franchise for the term of 6 months. However, Monarch can absolve the government in consultation with the People's Council and Electoral College and based upon political Market Research surveys. He can, thus call for fresh elections.

The legislature is Bicameral with two leading mainstream political parties-Imperial Monarchists and Centralists. While both the parties are staunch pro-monarchy, what differentiates them is their approach towards territorial expansion. Imperial Monrchists are considered to be the core nationalists while Centralists are more moderate in their approach.

Centralist Party won the first general election held in June 2009 with an outstanding majority. Countess Pristina currently heads the Government in the capacity of the Prime Minister.

Phoenix in recession.

The Ministry of Finance, Trade and Economy announced the demise of trade pact with Captain Amazing due to that nation's absence from Cybernations. According to the ministry, this is a setback for the country's economy and as a result, there has been a slight exodus of Phoenix's population. Also, the Kingdom of Phoenix has lost some territory owing to the sudden departure of Fur and Fish as resources. However, Ministry is making concerted efforts to arrest the economic recession by trying to enter into a fresh trade pact. In a separate press release, Ministry of Defence has announced the downsizing of RPNA by about 500 soldiers in order to maintain the desired ratio vis-a-vis civilian population and to boost the population count. Ministry of Infrastructure too, has announced the urgent inauguration of 10 additional infrastructure projects to further boost the population count.
