| - Brazoria is a federal constitutional monarchy with a democratic parliamentary system. The 18 Provinces which make up the vast majority of Brazoria share power with the national Crown Government. The sovereignty of the nation is rested with the Monarch, who is the embodiment of state power and the foremost representative of all Brazorians. For this reason, the Monarch, who is the primogenial head of the House of Carlotte, is a neutral, ceremonial figure in governance, and true power lies with the elected, bicameral Parliament. The Parliament is called into power by the Monarch every four years through national elections; the lower house, the Diet, is composed of representatives who are based in number upon each province's population, and the upper house, the Senate, is composed of an equal number of representatives from each province. Brazoria has no single constitution: instead, the structure of national governance is defined through legally binding cases of the Royal Court, which, through landmark, case-based decisions, creates the legal foundation for the application of services to the citizens of the realm. Therefore, the functionality of the realm comes from a synthesis of law-making in the Parliament with the right-making in the Royal Court. This form of government is due largely to the Brazos Compact of 1836, in which Juan Carlos de Carlotte was declared King-on-the-Brazos in defiance of the Mexican colonial administration. The earliest inhabitants of Brazoria were various indigenous tribes scattered across the country, with hundreds of different cultures and languages flourishing in the period before European exploration. Spain was the first European nation to enter into and explore Texas, doing so as early as 1526 with the expedition led by Pánfilo de Narváez along the Gulf Coast of the country. The most prominent of early Spanish settlers was John of Austria, a bastard son of Charles V who was escaping the increasingly demanding rule of his half-brother Philip II. John's role in the early settlement of Texas saw the rise of the Carlotte family as the predominant political power in the region. Despite strong initial claims by Spain, the French would attempt to challenge them with the establishment of Fort Saint Louis in 1685, and although this attempt failed it only led to the formal creation of the Spanish claim in 1690. With the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War, the Carlotte family began the decentralize organization settlement through Anglo empresarios. The empresarios would see their successes increase with the creation of the Intendancy of Texas in 1787, and later, with the outbreak of the Mexican War of Independence in 1810. The new, locally unpopular Mexican administration attempted to crack down on Anglo settlement, causing a revolt which would lead to the outbreak of the Brazos Revolution in 1835 and see the creation of the Kingdom-on-the-Brazos the following year. While the Kingdom was victorious, the Mexicans would continue to see the region as a province in rebellion until the end of the Mexican-American War in 1848 with the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo. The same year, the Royal Decree of Parliament transitioned the realm into its current political organization. Although initially a country with a heavy agricultural focus, both economically and culturally, Brazoria would eventually undergo intense economic growth which would culminate in the spread of industrialization to the country. The thrust of the country into prosperity initially gave it grand colonial ambitions, culminating in the Brazorian-Dutch War, the Brazorian-Spanish War, the Panama War, and the Hispaniola War. Progressivism would come to the realm as a result of monopolistic business practices, and the discovery of oil at Spindletop ushered in an era of prosperity that became characteristic of the turn of the century. Brazoria took an active role as a strong ally of the United Kingdom by coming to its side in the First World War. The Great Depression and the Dust Bowl both caused massive economic and societal discord for the country, especially in more rural, agricultural areas. Thousands would migrate away to neighboring countries, prompting the government to introduce stricter economic controls that would ultimately see the end of true lasseiz faire economics. Brazoria joined the Second World War in 1939 alongside the Allies, permanently solidifying the bond between itself and other Western nations. Brazoria would help found NATO in 1949, signalling the nation's opposition to the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Brazoria was a foremost participant of many of the conflicts caused by the war, and economic growth throughout the later half of the twentieth century would lead to a strong economy into the next. Brazoria was only moderately affected by the Great Recession, and the nation recovered quickly from any economic abnormalities. The economy of Brazoria is considered to be a developed free market with generally high standard of living and a moderate cost of living. The economy is considered to be very free in terms of small enterprise, while restrictions from the government are more intensive the larger a company is. As corporate taxes are generally low, many multinational companies are attracted to Brazoria for its central position in North America and its historical access as a railroad and shipping center for the continent as a whole. A resource rich country, Brazoria has a diverse economy that is largely based upon a mixture of services and manufacturing. Agriculture has played a significant role in the history and culture of the country, and continues to do so in the contemporary period, yet over time, the importance of agriculture as an economic facet has dwindled with the growth of the urban industrial economy. Standards of education, sanitation, health, and general livability are high, while mortality, disease, and crime rates are generally low. Brazoria is considered to be politically and economically free. Brazoria enjoys warm relations with most other western country, and the nation has held a strong, lasting alliance with the neighbouring Kingdom of Sierra since the Mexican-American War. Other nations with which Brazoria holds an amicable relationship with are Canada, Rainier, Britain, France, and Germany. Brazoria was a founding member of the League of Nations, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the Caribbean Realm, and the Conference of American States, and it is also a member of the Organization for Cooperation and Economic Development, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the Organization of American States.
