Goldeneye region

Member of the United Regions.

The Goldeneye Region is a corporately formed republic bordering both the Pig Region and the Villager Region, it’s politics are dominated by one political party, the GCA. It prides itself on taking a pragmatic approach to decisions and allowing great personal freedoms to its citizens. It’s leader, GCAD Jacob Scott has been in power since 2011 when former GCAD Rousseau stepped down.

History
The Goldeneye region was formed when 14 major companies in the area underwent one of the world’s largest mergers, this created the Golden Council (GC). After they bought the area around the city of Emeraldia, they declared the Democratic states of the Goldeneye Region (or Golden states for short, but later abbreviated to Goldeneye Region.) This territory was mainly taken from the Pig Region and (to a lesser extent) the Villager Region.

It joined the Great War against the Vile Regions in 2014 and has contributed immensely due to its Air Force and unique battle strategy.

Politics
The Regions ruling party is The Golden Cooperative Alliance, or GCA for short. The political culture has little party discipline so Senators are mostly free to stick to morals without fear of being expelled from the party, The GCA’s current leader is the Sir Jacob Scott, currently serving as the GCAD of the nation.

The title of the National leader is often cited as a point of confusion for those unaccustomed to the political climate of the nation. The title of the leader is always (Party Name) Defender and is given the honourary appointment to the Grand Citizens Coalition, as well as being known as Sir (Name). If the leader is not bound to a party (though this has never happened and is unlikely to) they are appointed as the National Defender.

The Nation has two main houses that make up the the legislature, the Golden Council and the Commissariats Sénat.

The Golden Council is the 14 Corporations that founded the Region, and acts as the higher house. Each corporation has one vote each as agreed by the Unification Proposal. In practice this acts as a final read through of the proposal after it has passed the Sénat. This house is entirely unelected and accountable only to the corporations.

The lower house is the aforementioned Sénat, this house is elected by the people in a general election, as is typical with a parliamentary system. The largest party in the Sénat has their leader become the National Defender unless a hung parliament is declared. This is declared if the largest party doesn’t have a working majority of at least 41 seats out of 80 in the Sénat. The largest party must then approach a different party to form a governing coalition. If a coalition cannot be formed then another election is held 10 days after.

A general election is held every 4 years and voting in said election is mandatory, though if someone does not wish to vote then they can check the ‘None of the above’ option on the ballot.

It is also responsible for nominating the Cod Region to ascension to the United Regions, though this was controversial and passed by slim margins in both houses

Project Eagle
Protect Eagle was ratified by the Commissariats Sénat in December 2020 with the end goal of transforming the country into a small Eperopolis. This plan aims to provide a cultural centre to the United Region and alleviate growing issues of goods shortages and other problems. This plan was opposed by rural farmers but due to 80% of the population living in urbanised zones they were outmatched. By the end of February 2021 this plan was 42% complete, owing to The Golden Council leveraging investments over all major construction companies on the continent.

Originally known as ‘The Jebbah Tower’ The Silver Standard tower will be finished in early April 2021 and is planned to be home to GE Logistics, the logistics company that dominates the industry through its subsidiaries.

Project Eagle will create the new largest single metropolitan area on Gerra, Greater Goldia.
