'''Rumahoki''', officially the '''Most Serene Sovereignty of Rumahoki''' (Latin: ''Serenissima Dominatio Rumahociae''; Pelaxian: ''Serenísima Soberanía de Rumajoqui''; Reform Tainean: ''Serenisim Souvirainte des Roumahauki''), is a {{wp|sovereign state|sovereign country}} located in eastern [[Vallos]]. It shares a land border with [[Takatta Loa]] in the southwest, [[Almadaria]] in the west, the [[Caphiria|Caphirian]] exclave of [[Vespera]] in the north, and it shares a maritime border with the [[Cartadania|Cartadanian]] state of [[Porta Bianca]] in the northeast and [[Puertego]] in the southeast. Its coastline runs throughout the [[Taínean Sea]]. Like its neighbours, Rumahoki is a megadiverse nation boasting one of the highest biodiversity across the biomes within it. The Rumahokian economy is a {{wp|mixed economy}} with elements of {{wp|tripartism}} and {{wp|dirigism}} with most public services (most notably healthcare, electricity, and mass public transport) being controlled by the government. However, private industries are permitted to operate in most other sectors such as telecommunications, shipping, and retail. Uniquely, the Rumahokian government is a {{wp|elective monarchy|semi-elective}} {{wp|constitutional monarchy|semi-constitutional monarchy}} under a {{wp|parliamentary system}} with a democratic {{wp|dominant-party system}} and a {{wp|fusion of powers}} with a powerful {{wp|head of state}}.

From 1976 until 1994, Rumahoki was under a regime greatly inspired by {{wp|conservative}} and {{wp|authoritarian}} ideologies complete with a sham democracy. This regime was known as the [[Delepasian Commonwealth]], using the former Spanish name of the nation. This all changed with the [[Velvet Revolution]] in 1994 when left-wing factions of the [[Rumahokian Imperial Armed Forces]] overthrew the government and pushed through a series of sweeping democratic reforms, eventually culminating in the [[Constitution of Rumahoki|Rumahokian Constitution of 1996]].

When the [[Pelaxia|Pelaxian]] monarchy was toppled in [[1852]], much of the nobility have fled to the colonies which still pledged loyalty to the [[House of Girojón|Girojón]] monarchy wherein they united the colonies into a monarchy serving as the pro-Girojón {{wp|government-in-exile}} in opposition to the Pelaxian republic. However, tensions soon arose as three major factions were formed. There was the [[Royalists (Delepasian Kingdom|Royalists]] who hoped to overthrow the republican regime in Pelaxia with the help of the colonies and in return establish a [[Pelaxio-Delepasian Union|dual monarchy]] in which the Delepasians would be of equal status to the Pelaxians. In opposition to the dual monarchy idea was the [[National Constitutionalists (Delepasian Kingdom)|National Constitutionalists]] who, while they remained loyal to the crown, would rather that the kingdom drop the pretense of being a government-in-exile and instead become an independent Delepasian monarchy under the Girojóns. Lastly, there was the [[National Republicans (Delepasian Kingdom)|National Republicans]] who wanted nothing to do with the deposed Pelaxian monarchy nor with Pelaxia in general.

The newly-unified nation was a continuation of the [[Estado Social (Rumahoki)|Estado Social]] regime that was installed in 1938 in [[Rosaria]] and governed by [[Fernando Pascual]] who subsequently became the first Delepasian prime minister from its formation in 1976 until 1988 when he was succeeded by [[Nicolás Torres]] after a stroke. The Estado Social also made the institutional system of racial segregation known as the [[Navidadian System]] nationwide, barring non-Delepasians from participating in politics as well as closing down immigration to all but a select amount of [[Pelaxians]].

The Delepasian government and army resisted any attempts at dismantling the Estado Social regime until April 1994, when a left-wing military {{wp|coup}} in Santa Maria, known as the [[Velvet Revolution]], led the way for the establishment of a multi-party democracy after two years of a transitional period known as PTeC (''[[Proceso de Transición en Curso]]''). This period was marked by constant social turmoil and a power struggle between left- and right-wing political forces. By July of 1995, the tension between these was so high, that international observers were predicting that a civil war was imminent. Forces connected to the far-left launched a further ''[[coup d'état]]'' on 3 December, but the Group of Nine, a moderate military faction led by Emperor Maximilian himself, immediately initiated a counter-coup. The main episode of this confrontation was the successful assault on the barracks of the far-left dominated [[Santa Maria Lancers Regiment]] by the moderate forces of the Commando Regiment, resulting in three soldiers {{wp|killed in action}}.

After the transition to democracy, Rumahoki quickly embraced {{wp|tripartism}} and {{wp|dirigism}} as the nation's primary economic policies, fostering in a {{wp|mixed-market economy}}. {{wp|Land reform}} and {{wp|nationalization|nationalisations}} were enforced; the constitution (approved in 1996) includes accomodations to socialist principles, complete with numerous references to socialism, the rights of workers, and the desirability of a {{wp|socialist economy}}.

Diplomatically, Rumahoki has pursued the thawing and eventual warming of relations with Caphiria as a means to further distance the nation from the Estado Social's warm relations with [[Urcea]].

Rumahoki is a {{wp|federalism|federal}} {{wp|parliamentary system|parliamentary}} {{wp|elective monarchy|semi-elective}} {{wp|constitutional monarchy|semi-constitutional monarchy}}.

The executive branch is headed by the [[Rumahokian_Emperor|Emperor]] and the [[Prime Minister of Rumahoki|Prime Minister]]. The Emperor, currently [[Maximilian I of Rumahoki|Maximilian I]], is the {{wp|head of state}}, elected indirectly by a group of 41 electors who in turn are elected through complicated electoral machinery alternating between {{wp|sortition}} and miniature internal elections. The Prime Minister, currently [[Francisco Carvalho]], is the {{wp|head of government}}, appointed by the Emperor to lead the [[Privy Council of Rumahoki|privy council]]. The Emperor may dissolve the National Assembly or circumvent it by submitting referendums directly to the populace; the Emperor also has the power to appoint justices and other civil servants, is in charge of foreign affairs, as well as serving as commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces. The Prime Minister is in charge of domestic affairs in terms of public policy and providing oversight over the civil service. In the [[2028 Rumahokian Commons Election|2028 Commons elections]], prime minister Carvalho, who first became Prime Minister in 1997 won another parliamentary majority.

The Congress of the Peerage is the {{wp|upper house}}, consisting of 143 members split between the 133 [[Peers Temporal]] and the 10 [[Peers Spiritual]]. The former group is even split among the nineteen states of Rumahoki, and are elected {{wp|indirect election|indirectly}} usually from amongst the nation's peerage by the regional upper houses through a {{wp|party-list proportional representation}} {{wp|electoral system|voting system}}. The latter group is chosen from the amongst the nation's clergy on the basis of {{wp|seniority}}. Unlike the Peers Temporal, the Peers Spiritual are an entirely ceremonial group with little power unlike their secular counterparts.

Rumahoki is a federal state with nineteen [[Administrative divisions of Rumahoki#States of Rumahoki|''estados'']], including the [[Federal District (Rumahoki)|Federal District]] containing the nation's capital of [[Santa Maria]]. The primary purpose behind these entities is to be the primary-level divisions, complete with their own constitution and form of government. These entities are delegated some autonomy and self-governance, thus allowing them to pass their own laws and policies, provided that it doesn't violate the [[Constitution of Rumahoki|constitution]]. The states are further divided into [[provinces of Rumahoki|''provincias'']], [[parishes of Rumahoki|''parroquias'']], and [[municipalities of Rumahoki|''municipios'']]. These divisions are responsible for certain functions, but most notably not the educational functions due to the highly centralised nature of the education system. The ''comarcas'' serve a dual-purpose, totaling to 400, not only do they serve as a common local government over multiple municipalities they also serve as a means for the apportionment of seats in the [[Congress of the Commons]] as a means to prevent the [[National Assembly of Rumahoki|National Assembly]] from being dominated by the cities.

The nation's {{wp|dominant-party system|dominant party}} is the {{wp|centre-left politics|centre-left}} [[People's Democratic Party]] which has had government since 1997 with [[Francisco Carvalho]], who also has the honour of being the first Rumahokian prime minister of [[Cartadanian]] ancestry.

| label3 =[[Loa people in Rumahoki|Loa]]

| label4 =[[Cartadanians in Rumahoki|Cartadanians]]

In southwest Rumahoki, the [[Loa people]] constitute as the predominant minority group. The Loa of Rumahoki have fallen under Delepasian rule ever since the first settlements of [[Navidadia]] after the collapse of the [[Loa Empire]]. Historically, the Loa were actively discriminated by the Delepasians, most especially in Navididia from which the [[Navidadian System]] was first created in. It wasn't until after the [[Velvet Revolution]] in [[1994]] when the Loa were finally granted equal rights under the law.

[[Cartadanians]] in Rumahoki have always been a presence ever since the establishment of the [[Pirate Republic of Portas Gêmeas]] in [[1498]]. As a fellow Romance culture, the Cartadanians were largely treated as near-equals by the Delepasians with the only demerit being that they spoke [[Cartadanian language|Cartadanian]] instead of [[Pelaxian language|Pelaxian]].

| label2 = {{wp|Calvinism|Reform}}

[[Catholic Church|Catholicism]] is the predominant faith in Rumahoki with nearly all of its practitoners being ethnic [[Delepasians]] or [[Cartadanians in Rumahoki|Cartadanians]]. The second-largest religion, predominant amongst the [[Taineans]] of Rumahoki, is {{wp|Calvinism|Merchantile Reform Protestantism}}, and thus is most common in the Tainean-majority states. Historically, this denomination has enjoyed greater tolerance in [[Delepasian Commonwealth|Delepasia]] mostly due to the Delepasian's hatred of the [[Loa people|Loa]]. [[Marian Kapuhenasa]], a {{wp|religious syncretism|syncretic faith}} combining elements of Loa [[Kapuhenasa]] with Delepasian Catholicism, is the third-largest religion, and is only practiced by the [[Loa people in Rumahoki|Loa people]] in [[Kalanatoa]], [[Na'aturie]], and [[Junu'urinia Ba'andasi-Navidadia]]. Assorted Christian denominations not specifically listed above and other religions are the two smallest religious groups in the country, mostly practiced by minority groups.
