Federation of Balkani

The Federation of Balkani, commonly referred to as Balkani, is a federal semi-presidential republic in Slavonia. Balkani only shares a border with the Democratic Republic of Slavonia.

The country is rich with aluminum and chromium, however, the country traditionally refuses to export these materials.

For a long time, Balkani was under control by Slavonia, however, in 2031, the nation declared their independence.

Balkani is ethnically diverse, with six different cultural groups and languages being declared official, despite a population of only 19 million. Due to the diversity, the nation is a federation of several different republics. These republics are based on ethnic borders.

Government and politics
Balkani has an extremely low place in the democracy index. For a while, the country was ruled by the Council on General Staff, a council of military officers who controlled the judiciary, executive, and legislative. Živorad Vasiljević, the first President of Balkani, was the interim President of the Council. Vasiljević established a cabinet that would control elections, and scheduled the first elections to take place on June 16, 2031. This election was called out by many people as everyone who attempted to run was left out of the ballot. Many people voted against Vasiljević, however, their votes were not counted by the council. All seats went the National Balkani Party, and the world declared Balkani as a one-party state despite officials declining stuff thing.

The National Union of Balkani Federation was created on June 16, 2031. It has 55 members who are elected every five years with the President. The President is allowed to vote in the legislature and cause ties, which would then give the Vice President the ability to break the tie. They are also able to hold a seat in the legislature, giving the president the ability to hold two votes and the vice president two votes if the legislature is in a tie.
