Chapter 403: The Republic

A federation is a country with unified sovereignty, and its members no longer enjoy full sovereignty after joining the federation, but retain some rights to manage internal affairs. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The form of government of the Federal Republic is a kind of entente. Under this agreement, several small states joined together to form a larger state and agreed to be members of that country. Thus, the Federal Republic is a new society created by the union of several societies, which can be expanded by the addition of other new members.

Unlike the Federal Republics of Austria and the Federal Republic of Germany, which are composed of federal states and districts, the new Federal Republic is composed of more independent member states.

The Confederation and the Member States each have their own governmental and legislative bodies.

The officials of the Member States are elected by the Member States themselves, and the Federal Government does not have the power to appoint the officials of the Member States. Although the legislation of the member States must be in conformity with the Federal Constitution, the Federal Constitution guarantees the inviolability of the territory and sovereignty of the member States. Two parallel sets of governments, each elected. There is also a check and balance between the Confederation and the member States.

"Since the formation of a federal republic is based on the individual nation-states, it is no longer possible to use the name Shan State." Looking at Kunsha, Peng Jiasheng, the former chairman of the Kokang Special Administrative Region, said quietly.

"Chairman Peng," Hearing the words of Peng Jiasheng, the former chairman of the Kokang Special Administrative Region, Kun Sha subconsciously retorted.

Looking at the faces of the former Kokang Special Administrative Region Chairman Kokang Wang Peng Jiasheng, the warlord of the eastern Shan State Shan State Fourth Special Region Lin Mingxian, and the chief of staff of overseas Chinese Zhang Suquan, Khun Sa could only admit the reality and understand that the name of Shan State could not be crowned in front of the Federal Republic.

Even the Chinese diaspora, who have always kept a low profile, are so sensitive to this name, let alone an ethnic group like the Wa State, which has always pursued independence. Once the name Shan State is used, there is no basis for the formation of the Federal Republic.

"Named after Salween in the Salween River, the Federal Republic of Salween. What do you think? ”

After the silence, Lin Mingxian suddenly said: "The Salween River basin covers the entire Shan State and has raised eight million Shan people. With this as the name of the Federal Republic, I don't think the various powers in Shan State will have a problem. ”

"Salween Federal Republic, good name." Hearing Lin Mingxian's words, Peng Jiasheng and Zhang Suquan said in admiration.

"I agree with that." After thinking about it, Kun Sha also agreed.

"Chairman Peng, on the Kokang side, whether we are now using force to solve the problem, or whether we will draw the Yang Maoliang brothers into our front." As soon as the conversation changed, Zhang Suquan suddenly mentioned the Yang Maoliang brothers, who are now in charge of the Kokang Special Economic Zone.

"I don't think anyone knows more about Brother Yang Maoliang than me." In front of Lin Mingxian, Kun Sha, and Zhang Suquan, Peng Jiasheng, the former chairman of the Kokang Special Administrative Region, said confidently: "I am confident that I will persuade them to join our camp and officially join Long Zheng." ”

"The three union republics of the Republic of Wa, the Republic of War, the Republic of Shan State, the three union republics of the Federal Republic of Salween, the Republic of Wa and the Republic of Huabang, are all well integrated, and both are also staunch supporters of the Federal Republic of Salween. The key is that Chairman Khun Sa, your Shan State Republic, I am afraid it will be difficult to integrate internal forces. You know, although your Shan Republic is supported by the Shan people, the Shan elite has broken with you completely. Looking at Kun Sha, Peng Jiasheng, the former chairman of the Kokang Special Administrative Region, and his son-in-law Lin Mingxian glanced at each other and said worriedly.

"Don't worry about that." Beside Kun Sha, Zhang Suquan said confidently: "The reason why the Shan elite class will break with us is entirely because the overseas Chinese control the rights of the Shan State Republic, as long as we overseas Chinese give up the rights of the Shan State Republic, under the temptation of independence, the Shan elite class will definitely fall to us again." Doesn't the newly formed federal government need people? I think Long Zheng will also allow us Chinese to join his federal government and work for him. ”

"The federal government is in charge of the constitution, foreign affairs, and the military; The republics adopted national autonomy and controlled internal affairs. This is the bottom line, and it is also the capital for us to take refuge in Longzheng, and the republics are not allowed to destroy it. ”

Looking at everyone, Zhang Suquan's tone was unprecedentedly firm.

In the following time, Kun Sha, Zhang Suquan, Lin Mingxian, and Peng Jiasheng, a total of three forces, made a preliminary study on the specific details of the Salween Federal Republic.

First, the Federal Republic of Salween has the highest legislative, executive and judicial organs exercising the supreme power of the State, and the constituent units of the Union Republic also have their own legislative, executive and judicial organs, which are not subordinate to the central authorities; Secondly, the Federal Republic of Salween has a uniform constitution and basic laws, and within the premise and to the extent that the constituent units of the union republics have their own constitutions and laws; Nationals of the Federal Republic of Salween then have both federal and union citizenship; Finally, the Federal Republic of Salween is the main body of international politics and the diplomatic power belongs to the central government, but within the framework of the Constitution, the union republics can also have a certain degree of independence in foreign relations in the economic field.

In terms of territory, a plain area of 500 square kilometers was demarcated at the junction of the Republic of Wa, the Republic of Huabang, and the Republic of Shan State, and the Salween Rock Special Zone was established with reference to Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States of America.

In order to show everyone's determination and sincerity to join the government of the Federal Republic of Salween, before officially welcoming Long Zheng into the federal central government of the Federal Republic of Salween, the Republic of Wa, the Republic of Hua Bang, and the Republic of Shan State pooled their wisdom and efforts to contribute money and personnel to relocate all the people in the 500 square kilometers of land under the jurisdiction of the Salween Rock Special Zone. The future 500 square kilometers of land in the Salween Rock Special Region will not only be the seat of the federal central government, but also the personal independent kingdom of the dragon government.

If the control of the federal central government is a letter of nomination handed to Long Zheng by everyone, then the 500 square kilometers of land in the Salween Rock Special Zone is undoubtedly a welcome gift from everyone to Long Zheng.

Fortunately, due to the continuous war in the Shan State for more than 50 years, the 500 square kilometers under the jurisdiction of the Salween Rock Special Region belong to the plain area of the Salween River basin and have the power of water transportation across the Salween River, but it has always been in a state of vast land and sparsely populated. Of the 500 square kilometers of land, only two small villages now exist. The cost of the Wa State Republic, the Hua State Republic and the Shan State Republic of moving people together is very small.

Because of the limitations of federalism, the federal central government under the control of the dragon government is destined to be a small government.

The two most important sources of revenue for the U.S. federal government are personal income tax and payroll tax for Social Security. Among them, 48 percent of the government's revenue is attributed to personal income tax.

However, the three union republics under the Salween Federal Republic are all poor and backward. It is a dream to keep the federal central government of the Salween Federal Republic running on income tax on personal income tax and payroll tax for social security. (To be continued.) )
