Chapter 143 The Federal Republic of America
Establishing a new nation and transforming an empire into a new state system is ultimately no simple task, but that does not mean that we need to continue to follow the old ways. Establishing a new state system, or at least a framework, is now urgent. After the Great Earthquake in Aran, Alice has devoted herself to activities concerning the future of the nation and exerted her influence.
"Gentlemen, we have jointly decided on a fact: Amelansi will follow ancient customs and will not become an empire. We will establish the Federal Republic of Amelansi!"
The Federal Republic of Amerance
Abbreviated as Imellancy or FRA.
[Nature of the State: Federal Republic – Powerful Presidential System]
"Next, we need a de facto economic and administrative center, but the North-South civil war and northward expansion have made it difficult for any of our existing administrative and economic centers to serve as the capital."
"I propose that, in the original location of the Central Lake District, the Amelanese Island District be established first in the Central Region, and the new capital be established in that region."
The ministers of each department sat in front of the large conference room in Trian. The temporary conference hall at Trian No. 15 was prepared for the increasingly expanded Provisional Government of the Amerlane National Government. However, the process of unification was faster than anyone had imagined. Now, 95 percent of the country’s land had been recovered, and 80 percent of the local governments had been brought under the jurisdiction of the Provisional Central Government of Amerlane.
Alicia sat beside Alice, who still held the title of Queen but needed a formal ceremony to hand over power.
"agree."
"agree."
Everyone nodded in agreement. If the capital was located north of Red Ridge, it would be difficult to govern the south. And if it were located in the imperial capital of Versailles, it would inevitably be tainted by the stench of the old regime.
Now that the nation is strong, there is nothing better than a new capital, a new capital that will not be influenced by the old aristocracy of the south, nor corrupted by the rising new bourgeoisie, a new capital in the heart of the country that will uphold its original purpose.
“We have candidates for the name of the capital: Paris, Emilia-Lancini, oh, of course, there’s also Aliciania and De la Leyé.”
"I find it hard to say which is better or worse. Gentlemen, let's vote by raising our hands."
The vote was quickly announced, and the first result surprised Alice. Amélancia and Paris received the fewest votes, while the city of De La Leyé received the most. Alice felt ashamed and then looked at Alicia, who had a slight smile on her face.
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, I hereby announce the name of our capital city: De la Leyé!"
Anyway, Alice's sanity level seems to drop a bit.
Capital: De la Leyé
The next part is the most serious and challenging. No one knows where they are headed, but most people believe that Alice must seize power.
Finally, a concept was proposed—the strong president system. Under this system, the president would be granted most of the powers stipulated by the constitution, while the parliament would only be responsible for drafting and passing bills and amending laws. The president could be re-elected without term limits. Alice absorbed the drawbacks of the Western system from her previous life. The president's term was ten years, and during the first five years of the first term, the president could not overturn the policies and bills implemented by the previous president without the approval of the parliament.
Parliament can impeach the president at any time, but the minimum number of votes required for impeachment is 80 percent of the total votes in Parliament.
President Amelansi is the Supreme Commander of the Amelansi Armed Forces and holds command of the troops.
[Guiding Parliamentary System - Idealism]
We are transitioning to a brand new system where people will enjoy the rights of citizens for the first time. But the question is, do the vast majority of us, who are illiterate and below the poverty line, truly possess such far-sighted ideals? Won't those rent-seekers who don't understand us or even oppose us seize the opportunity to take over? If we don't stick to the path we've planned, our country will fall into the hands of other forces; if we don't seize the opportunity, our country will struggle to achieve a glorious future.
By exerting absolute influence over parliament, we will be able to firmly grasp the nation's path and move towards the better world we dream of.

[Constitution of the Federal Republic of Amelansis] (Alice's Code): The Federal Republic of Amelansis is a federal republic composed of equal citizens of all races in Amelansis... In accordance with the spirit of the constitution, the state adopts an indirect democratic parliament, whose members are elected through universal suffrage at the local level... The Amelansis Parliament, officially the Amelansis National Citizens' Parliament, is the highest authority in Amelansis, and the President of Amelansis is elected from this body.
[Land Law of the Federal Republic of Emelansi]: All land, mineral resources, forest resources, water resources, and biological resources in Emelansi belong to the sacred state. Citizens of the state only have the right to use them within the scope of the law. Under legal conditions and with the approval of the National Land Administration, the right to use may be transferred or leased...
[Emeranian National Economic Law]: The Emeranian National Government guarantees the inviolability of private property, including means of production. However, when necessary, with the President's approval, the National Government will redeem the means of production owned by citizens at the highest market price of the year... National infrastructure should not be privately owned. Infrastructure includes railways, highways, electricity, magic, transportation facilities, communication facilities, etc.
After days of heated debate, the law was gradually established. Alice gradually solidified her position through months of drafting laws and setting up departments. The first federal president was established. On the streets, the flags and emblems symbolizing the royal family became fewer and fewer, and many things were replaced by the national emblem and tricolor flag of Amelia.
Regardless, nothing can stop this trend from emerging; people call this transformation a process of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new.
Amidst the changing times, everything is moving forward, and the dawn of a new order is about to shine upon the world.
