Kalharia

Kalharia is a parliamentary republic with the territory on the east coast of Beringia, in the Caribbean and in the South Pacific. The Beringian portion is the largest geographically and, by far, by population.

The modern country of Kalharia was formally established on 1st September 1919. It was created from the territories of the German colonial empire that were deemed fully German in culture and language and therefore unsuitable for administration by the United Kingdom or France.

Kalharia's capital and largest metropolis is Concord. Other large settlements on the mainland are Treichard, Blüdhaven and Kreussburg, while Deutspord and Schwarzberg are the largest cities in the country's Caribbean and Pacific territories respectively. Kalharia is a developed country with a market economy and a high standard of living. Its major industries are manufactured consumer and industrial goods, engineering, technology and processed raw materials. It upholds social welfare, universal healthcare and environmental protection systems, and has high levels of education, skills and technology penetration.

Pre-European settlement
Evidence shows that humans were present in modern-day Kalharia at least 50,000 years ago. Although the land is rich in natural resources, the extreme seasonal variation in climate precluded permanent human habitation until farming and food preservation technologies had developed sufficiently.

By the middle of the Bronze Age, the various tribes had intermixed to the extent that they began to consider themselves a single people, the Kalhar people, with this term the source of the name Kalharia. The Kalhar confederation was remarkably stable, lasting, in various configurations, until the arrival of European settlers in the late 16th Century.

Politics
Kalharia is a unitary, parliamentary, representative democratic public. The Kalharian political system operates under a framework laid out in the constitutional document known as the Grundgesetz (Basic Law), which was adopted on independence in 1919. Amendments to the constitutional law must be approved by voters in a referendum.

The primary organ of power is the Landesrat or parliament, which holds supreme sovereignty over all institutions and aspects of public life, expect where this power is explicitly limited by the constitution. The Landesrat delegates some of its powers to the Landeskabinett (cabinet), which under normal circumstances exercises executive power. The Kabinett is chaired by the Kanzler, who functions as both head of state and head of government but remains strictly primus inter pares except when the cabinet is divided.
