History

Due to the Alliance with Mondstadt, Batavian was under the control of the principality of Mondsadt from 1380, although officially it was owned by Castina until 1814. In 1874, a thousand years after the first settlement First recognized, Mondstadt granted rule over the Batavian Kingdom. The Constitution, written the same year and amended in 1903 and the extent of Batavian rule increased in 1904.

On December 1, 1918, the Act of Union, an agreement with Mondstadt, recognized Batavian as a fully sovereign state, an independent state in personal union with Mondstadt through a common monarch. . The Batavian Kingdom established its own flag and coat of arms and required Mondstadt to represent its foreign affairs and defense interests on its behalf while retaining full control over its foreign and defense affairs. Batavian opened its first embassy in 1920. The act would be reviewed in 1940 and could be revoked three years later if a continuation agreement could not be reached.

During the first year of World War II, Batavian strictly enforced a neutral stance and took action against both British and German forces that violated that stance. The German invasion of Mondstadt on 9 April 1940 and the subsequent occupation severed communication between Batavian and Mondstadt. As a result, on April 10, the Parliament of Mondstadt passed two resolutions giving the Batavian cabinet the power of head of state and declaring that the Batavian Kingdom would take full responsibility for both foreign policy and coast monitoring. On May 10, 1940, Operation Fork was launched by the United Kingdom when military forces entered Kitauji Harbor and began the Batavian invasion. The Batavian government issued a note protesting what it called a "flagrant violation" of Batavian neutrality. On the day of the invasion, Prime Minister Masayuki Ludora Nasca read a radio announcement instructing the Batavians to treat the British army as guests. On May 15, 1941, Congress passed a law creating the position of regent for Velgrynd Valentine to represent the monarchy.

At its peak, Britain had about 25,000 troops stationed in Batavian, excluding unemployment at Kitauji and other strategically important places. In July 1941, Congress passed the Mondstadt-Batavian defense agreement, transferring responsibility for Batavian's defense to Mondstadt until 1972.

Following a constitutional referendum in May 1972, Batavia officially became a Kingdom on June 17, 1972. The then Grand Duke of Mondstadt, William II, sent a congratulatory message to Batavian people.

Politics

Batavian has four basic laws, which together form the country's constitution, including: Act of Government, Act of Succession, Act of Freedom of the Press, and Basic Law of Rights freedom of speech.

Batavian is a constitutional monarchy with Empress Chihiro Taki as head of state since 2007, but the Empress's role is limited to ceremonial and representative functions. As stipulated by the Government Instrument of 1974, the empress did not have any official political power. The Empress is the one who opens the annual session of the National Assembly, organizes the regular Information Council with the Prime Minister and the Government, chairs the meetings of the Diplomatic Advisory Council and is the recipient of the credentials of the ambassadors. foreign country sent to Batavian as well as stamped the letter of citizenship sent abroad. In addition, the empress is also the one who pays for state visits abroad and receives foreign guests as a host.

The legislative body is the Plenum (i.e. the National Assembly) which has only one house consisting of 3,499 deputies and is elected every 5 years, headed by a President. General elections are held every four years, on the second Sunday of September. Laws may be drafted by the government or by members of Plenum. Members of the Plenum are elected on a proportional representation basis for a five-year term. The basic statutes can only be changed with the consent of Plenum.

Citizens who believe they have been treated unfairly can turn to the ombudsman who will investigate the case and possibly bring the case to court as a special plaintiff. At the same time, they are also responsible for collaborating with state agencies to understand the situation in their area, carry out the work of interpretation and make recommendations to change the law. In addition to the law inspectors there are consumer ombudsmen, children ombudsmen, equal rights ombudsmen and racial discrimination and discrimination ombudsmen because of sexual orientations.

There are several valley areas located in the southern part of Batavian, where there are some cold-tolerant palm trees. Summers tend to be warm and humid with periodic rains, suitable for pastures and livestock. Winter in the mountains is less humid, which can be stable for a long period of weeks, while in the lowlands there is a tendency to be temperate during these periods, so there is no Sun for many weeks.

Kitauji's southern flank. This phenomenon occurs in both directions through the Seijo Range, but is more common in winds blowing from the south.
