20th State Movement

The 20th State Movement is a Rumahoki-based political movement founded in the year 2000 by the party leadership of the Democratic Farmers' Union. The aim of the movement is to seek closer relations with the Urcean protectorate of Arona with the eventual result being a referendum to determine whether Arona should be admitted into Rumahoki as the nation's twentieth state. The goals of this movement would soon be co-opted by the ruling People's Democratic Party to court the Tainean vote. Thus far, no formal plans have been put in place to fulfill these goals beyond closer relations between the two states, though it has been discussed at both the federal and state levels in Rumahoki.

Politics and government
Rumahoki is a sovereign and independent state with a  under a   with Emperor Maximilian I as its, Francisco Carvalho as its , and a  legislature. Arona, however, is a protectorate of Urcea under a special system known as a Julian republic, a republican form of Urcea's government with a legislature. It has three top figures in its government, that being the President (Alfons Elan; head of state), the National Administrator (Enola Etania; ), and the Chair of the Proprietary Assembly (Elsu Albeno; head of government).

Arona has had a consistently stable democratic system for many decades ever since it became a republic in 1920, complete with strong. Rumahoki has had a history of undemocratic systems, most especially during the years of the Delepasian Commonwealth, until the Velvet Revolution in 1994. Since 1997, the People's Democratic Party has held the premiership uninterrupted for over three decades. However, the democratic processes have remained undisturbed, with opposition parties allowed to openly run and even win seats in elections.

Both states recognise Reform Tainean, an occidentalisation of the indigenous Tainean language as an official language, making them among the few states to do so.
