National History
A long time ago, from a land far away… The Colony of Gingeria was established by the Frantouple population of Jierakystan. They colonized the land in search for gold, new and undiscovered spices and the legendary fountain of youth. In the process, a vast territory was populated and colonised. Eventually, the local peasants (known as gingers) who came to the colony of Gingeria in search of a better life, to escape poverty or even to explore the bold new world, developed their own identity due to the fact that Jierakystan law and authority was located very far away. The Gingers did not feel that the laws and government that ruled the Empire of Jierakystan applied in this new world. The locals, (Gingers0, easily identified by their red hair and many sunspots found on their skin due to all the work under the sun. They no longer placed their faith in the Jierakystanian empire and decided search for freedom. The Frantouple population did not follow the 365 day yearly calendar, back then they followed cycles, Each cycle synchronized by the revolution of the sun (or Habib as the Frantoupes called it) and by the revolution of the moon (or Anikah). Therefore, each cycle was 1000 revolutions. 1 revolution = 1/2 rotation of planet, based of the sun or the moon. So a 12 hour day (sun up to sun down) would be 1 revolution, and from dusk until dawn another. So on the 85 revolution of the 1074 cycle, the Gingers asked for freedom from the Jierakystanian empire with the Referendum of Black-n’-Decker. The, Jierakystans could not bare to lose it’s precious colony, so the Gingers, under the leadership of Qualim Abebi took up arms and declared freedom from the Jierakystan empire.

This lead to the Jalapano war (named after the Jierakystanian General Jalapano Jalapino) which lasted for 800 revolutions. Eventually, the Gingers were victorious and declared themselves free. Gingeria became an Empire under the rule of Kingman Qualim Abebi, where he established a royal hierarchy where rule was passed down from generation to generation. Qualim was a wise and respectful ruler, and Gingeria prospered under his leadership. There was peace in the land, and everyone was free. Gingeria’s people developed a sense of community where each person was equal in all rights, religion, job land etc. The Kingman regulated income among the people, to stabilize the poor and keep equality among the people. The Kingman attempted to slowly turn Gingeria into a communist state, and eventually even the royalty was disbanded. In the 1168th cycle The Kingman Kliopanon (Desendant of Qualim) Saw this as a means to secure his power. He became oppressive when distributing the funds among the population. He gave the population significantly smaller rations as well as J-rox (money) and kept the rest for himself. With the excess J-rox he accumulated, he bought himself his own private army, to secure his absolute authority over the land. His personal military (known as the Garath) would pillage, murder and oppress every village, family or person that did not agree with Kliopanon. cycles later, the Gingers had enough, and decided to fight for their freedom, to take back their once prosperous homeland. The Gingirian civil war lasted for two and a half cycles, where many gingers lost their lives in pursuit of a better life for their future generations. The war ended with the defeat of the Garath and the death of Kingman Kliopanon. The Gingers then started to rebuilt their tattered country from the ground up, and this time decided to place emphasis on the individual instead of the community. This was because the population had lost faith in the forced equality for everyone, and now believed that each man and woman would have to individually progress in society to become successful.

Even with the birth of this new country, many Gingers have lost hope in the state and decided to leave. This left a huge hole in the population of the new country, there was then a huge increase in births and intercultural peoples to bring the size of the population back to it’s original size. The aboriginal population increased their gene pool, and in the process lost their identifying racial features. The people then became known as Jingers (simply changing their name to fit their new ‘race’). While that was happening, cycles passed by and during that time the country established itself into 8 individual districts. Bokchoy, an influential political leader (Representative of the eighth district later renamed in her honour) was able to convince every other District political representative to ban together under one flag and become a Federation in the 1674th cycle. This was due to the previous few hundred revolutions, where a famine started and an upcoming economic crash was evident and would lead to yet another civil war because of the lack of a structured leadership from the government. Each individual would fend for himself while the district representative had few resources to aid everyone. With the federation, the country would become on a social liberal state, where the country would focus on the freedom and wellbeing of the individual, but the now structured government could pool together resources and deal with social injustices among the individual population such as large scale poverty. The form of economy became a Free market economy where highly competitive markets favored a free exchange between seller and consumer, that way each individual could become successful With the freedom of the individual a priority, the population of Jinger (or Jingers) became greatly divers in religion, language, spirituality and political views. However the majority remained Liberal and spoke english. Just a few cycles later the government refined the country and political methods to become the Federation of Jinger it is today in the late 1800th cycle.

Government Structure
''Democratically elected President Nominated Vice-president by the President''

Weighted government system where there is a central power (federal government)

Each district has their own structured government with an elected representative as head of district. Each representative has an elected entourage consisting of District Consultants. To become District Consultant, one must first become a politician, and join a district political movement, because each person is free in their beliefs, there are many different movements who all see the future of Jinger differently. The head of each district political movement joins the District Council and the elected District Representative in forming local laws. The representatives from each district form the Federal governing council. The council establishes laws and runs the country. The Federation of Jinger’s head of state is an elected president, elected on a three year term where if after two years the council has lost faith in the president or believes the president is un-fit to make clear decisions for the good of the federation, a new president is elected. Each president nominates a VP. Each District Consultant is nominated by his/her district political movement and can be replaced whenever the movement sees fit. Each District Representative is elected on a one year term, but can be continuously re-elected by the people. The role of the District Consultant is to propose laws to the the District Representative. Each District consultant will debate with the district representative in an effort to prove that their law is not only valid but useful. The District Representative has a similar task, but will be discussing laws with the president.

The Federation of Jinger has a head of military to deal with military action. The general is nominated by the president, and whenever military action is deemed required by the federal Governing Council, the General takes over and makes all military decisions, internally and externally. The general is under constant watch by the federal Governing Council, if ever the Federal Governing Council has lost faith in the general’s ability to make appropriate decision regarding military action, a new general is appointed from the ranks of the National Jinger Military.

District and Federal Power
Distric Power The district has control over the education system, the healthcare system, citizen protection (law enforcement), local natural environment protection and community projects (local celebrations, non-private construction, ect). The districts also have the power to make their own laws and enforce said law with judicial power.

Federal Power The federal has the executive power so they have the ability to put each district law into effect. Therefore iff a legislative law passes that does not have the interest of the individual at heart can be cancelled. It has the power to all external relation and affaires like alliances and military conflict therefore it controls the army. It also has the power to intervene in the economy as well as social affaires in times of great emergency ( prolonged economic crash, severe poverty, large scale poverty) In these cases, the Federal council is charged with the task of providing direct help to the people by any means defined necessary by the Federal governing council. The economy will remain “free” with no or little intervention of the government. The economy will be based of the supply and demand, and the fees for goods and services will be determined between the seller and consumer.

NOTE: in times of crisis, the Federal Governing Council is allowed to take charge of any District power until the specific crisis is resolved.
