Overview of Hweituzdas (Ηιπποσια):
Hweituzdas, is a small tricameral republic and constituent part of thata Raikh af hize Dalin located near the equator.
Hweituzdas is a mixed mercantile-syndicalist tricameral republic, with its Landsgamotjing (literally 'meeting of the land') containing three distinct and separate houses, with membership in each house being dependent on different factors. The first of the three houses would naturally be the House of Lords, whose membership is made up entirely by the hereditary nobility of the Land. Those whose family can trace back their lineage to the original conquerers of the Land are elligible to stand for this house, they need only secure the assent of the head of the family. The seating in the House of Lords is made up entirely or stone benches, though the catering is second to none. Alcohol is commonly drunk in meetings.
After the House of Lords comes the House of Commons, whose membership is entirely elected by the people. In order to win a seat in this house, one must only secure a plurality in their given constituency, with voting being open to everyone resident within said constituency. Its seating and upholstery is famously green leather and is considered rather comfortable, though the food is not the greatest. Alcohol is tolerated during meetings.
Lastly, we come to the House of Guilds, whose members are all representatives of guilds, unions, and corporations with memberships or employee numbers of at least a thousand. Their benches are covered in white pillows and most of the membership brings their own food, resulting in no one being quite certain as to the quality of their catering. Alcohol is harshly discouraged.
Official Languages: Alemannisch (18,01%), Heiligen (1,81%), Hundisch (18,18%), Dansk (1,5%), Tsakonika (60,5%)
Official Religions: Hailags Triggwitha (Holy Truth), Druidicism
Population: 5.572.860 (999.646 Goths, 101.192 Heiliger, 1.003.109 Alemannij, 96.053 Danij, 3.372.860 Hellenes)(5,5% annual growth)
Major Minorities: Goths (17,94%), Heiliger (1,81%), Alemannij (18,01%), Danij (1,72%)
Gross Domestic Product: £20.113.104.940
Etymology:
The land is named Hweitzuzdas after its chalk cliffs that were spotted along its coast line. The individual elements of the name are 'Hweitz' and 'Uzdas' which mean 'White' and 'Place' respectively. The native population's name of Ηιπποσια (Hipposia) comes from the word 'hippos' meaning 'horse' and the suffix 'ia' used to make feminine nouns.
Land Ownership, Property Rights, and More:
Due to its unique formation and fears of its egalitarian nature being lost over time, all land either have to be utilised economically and gainfully, made open to the public as a park, or sold to anyone willing to offer a reasonable price for the land. Taxes are also extremely high on all landlords, making renting properties out a practical impossibility and which has forced many a would be feudal lord to put his properties on the open market, thus forcing down property prices and encouraging home ownership. It is also extremely illegal for anyone not resident in the Land to hold property there, with all such properties being subject to seizure and immediate auction should it be found out that one has decided to become resident elsewhere (not withstanding certain work exceptions).
There is also a high sales tax on all land, with one third of the sales price being required to be paid to the government.
