Illyria (A Federation of Equals)

The State of Illyria [Serbo-Croatian: Ilirija/Илирија; Slovene: Ilirija; German: Illyrien] is one of the constituent states of the Danubian Federation [Ger: Die Donauföderation] and the state has a majority of Southern Slavs (Slovene, Croat, Bosnian, Serb).

With the lack of a strong voice for the South Slavic states of Carniola and Croatia, many thought of the idea to unite these two states to help give the Southern Slavs a stronger voice not only in Congress, but in the entire nation.

In 1862, a referendum came to birth, to unite the two states. It passed and created the state we now know as the state of Illyria, named after the ancient Roman province Illyricum.

Form of Government
The State of Illyria is a presidential republic within the Danubian Federation. Unlike other states, Illyria does not have councillors and deputies, instead it has governors and lieutenant governors. A Governor is the head of a substate, and the Lieutenant Governor act as their second-in-command. The state has a unicameral legislature named the "State Council", which consists of 7 seats, each seat occupied by a Governor. A new governor is elected every four years.

The State President is elected by popular vote.

Administrative Subdivisions
The State of Illyria is divided into the seven sub-states of:


 * Bosnia


 * Central Croatia


 * Carniola


 * Dalmatia


 * Herzegovina


 * Slavonia


 * Vojvodina

The sub-states have a high degree of autonomy within the state to decide their internal matters. The sub-states divide themselves into sub-regions, such as the sub-regions of Carniola.
