872-863:The invasion of Narnia takes place and most of the nationalist Narnians and royals of Narnia are brutally murdered. However 2 Goldecian royals are mysteriously brutally killed , legend has it the ghosts of the murdered royals did this dastardly act.

The persecution of minorities is worst during these periods with Blueshirts dominating public life. Death camps were set up for culhwch's and "non-goldecians" where those who couldn't be enslaved were brutally murdered. There are no accurate records surviving but millions of minorities were killed with potentially 10's of millions killed.
1450:Conservative Nationalist Party and the organisation called the Blueshirts is is made compulsory for all youth to join.

Constitution: (Yes/No) Yes
Organization Memebership:N/A
Political system:The parliamentary system consists of three major branches the royals , Prime ministers office and the parliament. The king has the right to veto any bill that ascends to him and has had so since the end of fascism . This is typically used sparingly only when discriminatory bills or anti-democratic bills ascend up (e.g a bill targeting minorities that fascists might try, restricting womens rights or banning opposition parties) . For this reason also the armed forces are commanded by the monarch who can approve or refuse to approve a military operation.
The prime minister has the right to appoint his cabinet for approval of the house and the monarch.If the monarch doesn't approve they must seek 66% of the house to get the cabinet in office.
The house consists of the houses of commons elected by a MMP system. The Lords is used to amend bills and sometimes launch bills but this is typically done in the lower house. The Lords are selected by a committed of the main party leader, a Lords selection committee and the the monarch and normally selected from those who either have a special expertise or have an honour from the monarch. It typically makes sure the majority party in the lower house gets a majority in the upper house and tries to apportion seats to the votes. However some parties struggle to get in like the Republicans or One Goldecia who are not popular with the committee or the royals.The system is seen a parliamentary democracy but with bigger powers for the monarch than a lot of countries.
For a bill to pass into law it must have a majority of the Commons, Lords and the king although it can pass in just the commons if more than 66% vote yes when it is sent back down from the lords a 3rd time.The houses sit on average 150 days a year.

Show ContentHealthcare:
Most healthcare is funded by the state and most hospitals are publicly owned. Doctors and dentists tend to be private or owned by local community associations but funded by the state.~The umbrella for state funding and care is called the Goldecian Health Service.
Show ContentEducation in the Kingdom of Goldecia:
Goldecia has a free education system. There is great emphasis on science and economics, and the arts as well as tourist related subjects. Education is free in all state secondary schools though these are often now privately owned and run academies running a curriculum partly dictated by the state which has embraced international GCSE's,University level education is funded 60% by the Government however the rest is payed for by the student or their parents unless they are poor or children of parents in the military or emergency services in which cases bursaries can be arranged, education tends to cost less than average due to generous subsidies.. The government has tried to encourage a variety of education qualification from academic to apprenticeships to arts schools.Goldecias curriculum focus's on modern skills and technology . Most 4 to 5 year olds learn to read and write in Kindergartens and are expected to be able to count up to 10 by the time they leave kindergarten. Reading, writing, literature, Geography, ,history,Science , 2 foreign languages ,PSHE, RE and some Physical Education is the minimum in Secondary and Primary schools up to the age of 16(when pupils can choose options but 1 foreign language and history are still mandatory). From 16-19 the main options are colleges , apprenticeships and sixth form.
Primary Education is universal with 95% attendance and Secondary Education is universal with 97% attendance. There are different types of Secondary Education which open up different opportunities. They all teach different subjects and they lead to different qualifications. Lessons taught include Foreign Langauges,Goldecia(Florinthian), Language & Literature, Regional Studies including regional language studies, Geography, History, ICT, English, Philosophy, Economics, Business, Mathematics, Chemistry ,Geography, Biology, Physics, Art, Design, Architecture,Politics, Religion, History, Drama, and Poetry.

The main residence in Cair Para on the south part of the Lake Arthur. The palace housed generations of royals for over 1,000 years. It has been updated for modern amenities but keeps its old atmosphere. It is one of the most impressive palaces in the world. Thousands of years of events have been decided here.it has been the royal seat of power for many years.

The ancient palace was built around 1,000 years ago over the stone Table of Narnia.The table is famous for cracking on the 1 year anniversary of the slaughter of the entire royal family of Narnia(who were slaughtered on the stone table)to show the wrath of the Supreme God .The table cracked and a palace was built on top of the site by the Goldecian Royals.However they didn't stay long as 2 family members mysteriously died and there were strange shreeks and noises in the night as well as mischief .This has all been blamed on wrath of the old families ghosts taking revenge and they are still said to haunt the palace over 1,000 years later with shreeks and movements of the royals and the 2 dead royals of the Goldecian royals still heard,seen and felt.Many people stay in the palace at night to experience the ghostly experiences with a waiting list of days.Day tours take place in the palace and it is one of the top tourist attractions.Ever since over 700 years ago every year on one day the dead are honoured in a ceremony to appease the spirits with it said that if this doen't happen a royal will die(the last time it was skipped the king did indeed die violently and mysteriously in 1689 with it being said a spirit slaughtered the king and his 14 year old son leaving only a 18 year old and a 19 year old heir to the throne who died within a year after again failing to appease the spirits making his brother James 2nd the king).This involves dancing around the table and offerings of wine and the finest crops of the land with traditional Narnian tunes.

A sight that is one of the most visited cities. On Merkataritza Irla just off the narnian coast the islands town was in history a vital port and fort protecting the coast. It was the centre of the shipping trade in the south of Narnia.The island is in a chain of islands with the others being Avra, and Felimath , the first with major estates (Country houses) and worldclass vineyards on it and the second an island that was used mainly for agriculture with villages.They were the centre of the slave trade and the trading of slaves in the north of Narnia and were an important area in the administration of genocide with many minorities killed in camps on the islands,put into use as forced labour or sold off as slaves.

Tenplu Herriaren:
Tenplu Herriaren is an ancient city which over the years has had many wars.However the Tashban palace ,the wall ,bridge and the polytheistic and moorish style temples survive intact though a lot of the city is a mish mash. It is popular attraction.The city has an interesting mix of Narnian, medieval and Goldecian architecture.A small amount of modern buildings exist. The city currently houses 35,000 people.One of the big issues is the small winding streets which cause congestion in places. The government are trying to encourage public transport.It is on an island just off the south coast of Lake Arthur.The city has changed hands many times but since the 800's the city has been part of Goldecia.
The 5 castles and palaces and the stone palace cost from 15 to 25 Goldecian Pounds to visit once or 50 Goldecian Pounds for the Heritage Pass which gets you into all castles included for the season. You can sleep in many of the castles overnight for 50 Goldecian Pounds a night though supply doesn't match demand for this.Most holidays from abroad take in at least a few of the castles.They are among the most visited attractions both by tourists from abroad and domestically.The castles contribute billions in revenue and millions in profits to the economy.
