The Slinky Empyre (short form: Slin), officially the Slinky Parliamentary Monarchy, is a micronation in North America and Europe, and is bordered by the United States of America, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, and the Imperial Republic of Nemkhavia. It is currently ruled by Kyng Fyrst, who is also the founder of the nation.

History

First documents

The four documents of the Slinky Empyre set up its government. These documents are meant to be firm and unchanged.

On December 31, 2008, the Slinky Document was signed by Kyng Fyrst, declaring the beginning of the Slinky Parliamentary Monarchy. The document lays out the basics of the nation, including its name, type of government, royalty, the Emblem, and the rules of Parliament. The Ten Crymes document was signed in 2009. It laid out the following ten actions that should not go unpunished if done intentionally: torture, murder, adultery, fraud, discrimination, vagrancy, theft, disobedience, overwork, and gluttony. The Ten Laws document, signed in 2009, further explained Slinky law. It limits the power of the Kyng and Parliament, lays out rules for citizens to follow, explains the process of going to war, and more. The Ten Ryghts document was signed in 2009. It gives all citizens ten rights that shall not be taken away, including: the right to believe anything, the right to have fun, the right to be happy, and the right to learn.

Businesses

Following the four documents, Kyng Fyrst started signing certificates of approval for businesses. The Slinky Treasury was first, then came Tourism and Education. In June 2009, the SSS was started with the approval of the Slinky Police business. The Slinky Air Force came later.

Foreign relations

main article: Diplomacy with the Slinky Empyre

The Slinky Empyre does not sign alliances, and refuses to bind itself and other nations to written terms. Rather than formal alliances, the nation chooses to form relations with other nations in the form of informal friendships. Currently, twenty-four nations are friends of the Slinky Empyre.

The month of June has been declared a Slinky "Month of Dyplomacy", so the nation can focus on foreign relations in that period.

Politics

main article: Law of the Slinky Empyre

The Empyre is governed by the Kyng, whose power is limited by the Parliament. The only political parties recognized by the government are parliamentary parties, which have much power in Parliament. The Kyng or Queen may be elected by citizens or crowned by the previous Kyng or Queen. Departments may be governed by a Vyceroy or Vycereine with power nearly equivalent to Kyng or Queen, except with the lower limit of departmental proclamations and no appointed Parliament for their department.

Geography

main article: Departments of the Slinky Empyre

Saint Rychard Department was informally annexed during the 2009 government shutdown. Herway Department was informally annexed on the shutdown's last day. These first two departments were officially annexed on May 30, 2009. To increase positive relations with Nemkhavia, its leader and Kyng Fyrst worked together to annex Eastvale Department, a grassy land northeast of the Nemkhavian Home Provinces. Eastvale Department was annexed on August 18, 2009. Oak Department was annexed with the help of the Landashir'n government, and James Puchowski was appointed as its Protector.

The location of Saint Rychard Department, the Slinky capital, is currently confidential due to security reasons. Because Herway Department is nearby the capital, its location is also being kept secret. However, both departments are on the continent of North America, and both surrounded by the United States of America. Saint Rychard Depatment is entirely covered by the Royal Office structure, and gets no precipitation. Herway Department is entirely covered by Anthylls National Park, and gets approximately 11.8 inches of rain annually. Eastvale Department is located near Dublin, Ireland. Oak Department is located in Buckinghamshire, England.

Slinky Royal Time, usually referred to by its abbreviation SRT, is the time zone in both Saint Rychard Depatment and Herway Department. It is currently set at UTC-6 hours. Eastvale Time (EVT) is the time zone used in Eastvale and Oak Departments. It is currently set at UTC+1 hours.

Economy

The Slinky Empyre's economy is unique in that money is not allowed to be used within its borders. Money and barter are only used in trade with other nations. The Slinky-Westoninan Trade Alliance has established currency trade between the Slinky Empyre and Westonina, using the United States dollar and the Westoninan dollar, respectively.
