The Federation of Isola

The Federation of Isola was/is a nation created by Headmaster Delta/V for the reboot that began in May 2013.

Ideology and Government
Isola is a progressive capitalist, service-oriented nation (~45Mk per cycle as of 06/01/13). There is a flat tax rate of 25%, and the nation has a PP cap of 90.

The government is a direct democracy, meaning that every adult citizen has a direct say in voting and passing legislation. Generally, once a week citizens would fill out a form stating their vote and could also propose new legislation. Proposed laws are sent to a processing facility to sort out genuine suggestions from things that are already laws/already proposed/nonsensical/etc., and from there the suggestions are queued to go on one of the following week's forms. The President can veto laws that are passed by the people, at which point they will go back on the next week's form and the veto can be overridden with a 75% majority. Similar systems are in place for deeming laws unconstitutional, et cetera.

History
The Federation has stayed somewhat small on the international scale for the majority of the RP. In the early days the nation ran a basic space program that achieved manned and unmanned suborbit, but it quickly died down due to a lack of spare cashflow (However, Delta/V does plan to reboot this program at some point).

On June 16, 2013, tensions escalated between Isola and the Federation of Remana when the Isolaen entourage was denied entrance to a meeting/party held by Remana. As an act of revenge, Isola drew attention to the horrible war crimes commited by the Remanan(sic?) government, causing a great deal of international backlast against Remana. In addition, Isola attempted to remove Remana from the Pan-Kerbin Co-Operation Organization (PKCOO), which also put Remana's loyalty to the alliance on the spotlight as they stated that they would favor the PKCOO and their new alliance, the Iron Powers (Which as of 06/01/13 has exactly two members, including Remana) equally.

For a bit over a week after that Isola was completely inactive, as Delta/V was away on vacation. During that time, Espir declared war on Remana, causing Isola to be forced to honor the PKCOO's warfare rules and side with Remana in the war, depite their attempts at avoiding any sort of war.
