'''Rumahoki''', officially the '''Most Serene Sovereignty of Rumahoki''' (Latin: ''Serenissima Dominatio Rumahociae''; Pelaxian: ''Serenísima Soberanía de Rumajoqui''; Reform Tainean: ''Serenisim Sauberanetas 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 Pelaxian 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]].

"Rumahoki" originated from antiquity as a term meaning "earthly paradise" in the eastern dialects of the [[Tainean language]]. The meaning behind this term is currently debated upon, but it may have had its origins in the [[Heaven Ships]] which has been noted to be how the [[Taineans]] made it to [[Vallos]] after being forced out of [[Crona]] by the [[North Songun civilization|North Songun civilisation]]. Much like [[Arona]], the name may be in reference to the favourable sea and weather conditions enjoyed by the people living there.

===Early Vallosi settlements and 'shark culture'===

{{main|Vallosi people|Shark pottery culture}}

The first human settlements on the [[Vallos|Vallosi]] subcontinent has been dated to the year [[12,000 BC]] based on archaeological evidence. This makes Vallos one of the last parts of the [[Occident]] to have been initially settled. {{wp|Material culture}} suggests that these settlers may have migrated from what is now [[Pelaxia]]. Society for the early [[Vallosi people|Vallosi]] who have become sedentary was primarily agricultural, reaching to about forty percent by the year [[2000 BC]]. As indigenous Vallosi society developed, they have reached their apex with the [[shark pottery culture]], so-called due to the use of shark teeth and bones as a crafting material while at the same time depicting shark-related motifs on pottery. The shark pottery culture reached its peak at around [[1800 BC]], not long before the arrival of the [[Polynesians]] and later arrival of the first [[Heaven Ships]] from [[Crona]]. However, shark pottery culture, at this point classified as 'late shark pottery' due to foreign innovations, co-existed with these groups for centuries to come.

Archaeological evidence aside, virtually nothing is known about the indigenous Vallosi. Thanks to the lack of technological development and the lack of a proper writing system, the indigenous Vallosi culture was eventually lost through assimilation, intermarriage, and colonisation, thus leading to a near-total displacement. The average Rumahokian may have as much as less than ten percent DNA from the indigenous Vallosi according to genetic studies made in the year [[1997]].

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.

{{main|Velvet Revolution|Rumahokian transition to democracy}}

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}}.

The Group of Nine emerged victorious, thus preventing the establishment of a socialist state in Delepasia and ending the period of political instability in the country. The [[Junta for the Salvation of Civility|Junta para la Salvación de la Civilidad]] governed Delepasia until the [[1996 Rumahokian legislative election|Rumahokian legislative election of 1996]]. During that time, the junta drafted a [[Constitution of Rumahoki|new constitution]], formally naming the new state the ''Most Serene Sovereignty of Rumahoki'', it established a {{wp|federalism|federal state}}, it abolished Catholicism as the state religion, it empowered the Emperor in recognition of his role in the counter-coup, it established [[Pelaxian language|Pelaxian]], [[Classical Latin|Latin]], and [[Brenadine Tainean|Reform Tainean]] as the state's three official languages, and it forbade any systems of racial segregation, thus putting a permanent end to the Navidadian System.

The 1996 elections resulted in a {{wp|coalition government}} between the [[People's Democratic Party]] (PDP) and the [[Christian National Party]] (PNC) with [[Fernando Carvalho]], PDP's leader, becoming Prime Minister of the first post-Delepasia government on 21 January 1997. In this capacity Carvalho had initiated the process of accession to the [[Vallosian Economic Association]] (VEA) by starting accession negotiations as early as February that same year.

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}}.

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.

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 500, 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.

As Rumahoki is still a parliamentary democracy, opposition parties are allowed to openly run in elections without fear of reprisal. The nation's largest opposition party is the {{wp|centre-right politics|centre-right}} [[Christian National Party (Rumahoki)|Christian National Party]], followed by the {{wp|right-wing politics|right-wing}} [[Democratic Reform Party (Rumahoki)|Democratic Reform Party]], the {{wp|centrist politics|centrist}} [[Rumahokian Citizens' Party]], the {{wp|green politics|environmentalist}} [[Ecological Renewal Party]], the {{wp|agrarianism|agrarian}} [[Democratic Farmers' Union]], the {{wp|far-left politics|far-left}} [[Yes We Can!]], and the {{wp|far-right politics|far-right}} [[Delepasian Alternative]].
