History[]

Independence[]

The nation of Sekowo formed on November 21, 2009 with its government centered in Tokyo. Sekowo grew slowly in the following days, and also on the twenty-third it joined Bushido, an international alliance. Not long after joining, Sekowo was sent a generous amount of aid by the alliance and growth in the nation began pick up at a rapid pace. The rapid growth became interrupted though when the nation was suddenly attacked by the country of Niger.

Niger-Sekowo War[]

Sekowan Soldiers

At approximately 6:00 PM on December 1, 2009 Sekowo came under attack by the rogue nation of Niger. The attack was a complete surprise and threw Sekowo into anarchy. President Ryouta quickly restored the military and began to build up defenses for future attacks by Niger. Those attacks came and Niger faced its first defeat in the Niger-Sekowo War due to Sekowo having been now fully prepared for war and at DEFCON 1. In the evening of December 2 Sekowo made its first offensive against Niger by launching two cruise missiles at its capital and then making a small attack on the nation. While this small offensive classified as a loss for Sekowo, the military managed to pull of killing more Nigerien troops than they killed of Sekowan soldiers. The next day the war ended when Niger declared an end to hostilities after being prompted to do so by his alliance. In total, 1,638 Sekowan soldiers died and 1,875 Nigerien soldiers died. Because of Sekowo's huge growth and recovery from the conflict, it is considered that the Niger-Sekowo War was a victory for Sekowo.

Politics & Government[]

Main article: Politics of Sekowo

Sekowo has a complex form of government that is a mix of a benevolent dictatorship with your common democracy. The Head of State and Head of Government is the President, a position currently held by Ryouta. The President has a plethora of powers, though he often chooses to limit the extent at which he does use those powers. Overall, he has the final word over everything and this is what leads to Sekowo's classification as a benevolent dictatorship.

While the President holds many powers, there is still a legislature, which is the unicameral National Assembly. The National Assembly is comprised of 300 assemblymen elected directly by people of Sekowo every two years. The nation's states are divided into districts, and each district elects one assemblyman. The legislature creates and votes on most the laws of the nation and are granted this ability by the President; though the President still holds the ability to do a complete bill veto, which stops the bill from even having its veto overturned. While this ability does exist, the President has never used it and usually allows the National Assembly to operate freely, only approving bills and using normal veto power.

The judiciary of Sekowo is headed by the Supreme Court, which is comprised of 7 judges chosen by the President and approved by the National Assembly (if the President chooses to see the Assembly's opinion). Every state has a regional court, and then most local governments have courts as well.

Every state in Sekowo is led by a Governor, who is elected directly by the people of his state every four years. The states also have local legislatures that vote on local issues. Every city has a mayor and some sort of city council. States are divided into counties; and also divided into assembly districts, though these only have meaning in the election of assemblymen to the National Assembly. Counties often have a council that operates in much the same way as city councils.
