'''Almadaria''', officially the '''Democratic Republic of Almadaria''', is a country in [[Vallos]], a subcontinent of [[Sarpedon]]. It is neighbored by [[Arona]] and [[Vespera]] to the north, [[Rumahoki]] to the east, and [[Takatta Loa]] to the south. Its shoreline extends against primarily the [[Polynesian Sea]], though its eastern border includes a shared freshwater body of water with its western neighbor. The Democratic Republic is a megadiverse nation, with one of the highest biodiversity per square kilometer across its rainforest, highland, grassland, and desert zones. The economy of Almadaria has significant government intervention, with most public services resources (water, electricity, transport, telecommunications, healthcare, etc.) being controlled or funded by the government. Nevertheless, private industries, including foreign ones, flourish in established free trade zones which benefit all involved from tax incentives and domestic investment. Almadaria has a high rate of literacy, and an equally high level of higher education attendance; this has contributed to both the growth of the economy as well as the standard of living. The tourism, financial sectors are the two major contributors to Almadaria’s GDP. The government of Almadaria is a presidential, representative democratic republic with a multi-party system. Based on Cartadanian practice, it is broken into three branches (Executive, Legislative, and Judicial), though the legislative exercises significantly more power over the executive, primarily by having no ability to be vetoed by the President and being able to set the government budget. | '''Almadaria''', officially the '''Democratic Republic of Almadaria''', is a sovereign country in [[Vallos]], a subcontinent of [[Sarpedon]].

Almadaria underwent intense political instability in the later twentieth century, its primary cause being decades of political repression under President Sergio Arbelaez. Despite Arbelaez leaving office in 1996 and sweeping political reform thereafter, a low-intensity conflict against fringe guerilla and criminal groups exists to this day. | Almadaria underwent intense political instability in the later twentieth century, its primary cause being decades of political repression under President Sergio Arbelaez.

The Democratic Republic is a presidential representative democracy, sourcing its constitutional principles and and general framework from the venerable legacy of participatory government of [[Cartadania]]. The nation's first constitution, fully ratified in 1847, outlined three branches of government in accordance with the principle of separation of powers, dividing it into executive, legislative, and judicial branches. Following the [[1995 Constitutional Plebiscite]], reform lessened the power of the executive in its authority to manage clandestine or secretive operations, as well as setting up measures for increased government accountability, including several extragovernmental oversight institutions such as the [[Office Inspectorate of Almadaria]] (''Oficina Inspectorado de Almadaría''). | The Democratic Republic is a presidential representative democracy, sourcing its constitutional principles and and general framework from the venerable legacy of participatory government of [[Cartadania]].

Almadaria is known for its distinct constitutionally-enshrined election process, known as 'rat cage elections' among the population, which pits all candidates against one another in a primary election, regardless of party affiliation, and generally the highest four candidates in votes go on to a secondary election. This nonpartisan election process has kept any one party from gaining superiority over one another, diversifying and increasing representation of otherwise marginalized groups. This practice extends from the national government to local governments, though with some variation. | Almadaria is known for its distinct constitutionally-enshrined election process, known as 'rat cage elections' among the population, which pits all candidates against one another in a primary election, regardless of party affiliation, and generally the highest four candidates in votes go on to a secondary election.

At the national level, Almadaria is divided into | At the national level, Almadaria is divided into twelve Departments and one capital district, separate from the municipality it forms.

Each of the levels has a local government with a governor (in provinces, prefects; municipalities, alcaldes), though deprived of legislative bodies. At sub-national levels, most positions are directly elected, unlike the President's Cabinet. | Each of the levels has a local government with a governor (in provinces, prefects; municipalities, alcaldes), though deprived of legislative bodies.
