          Members of Parliament (MPs) debate the big political issues of the day and proposals for new laws. It is one of the key places where government ministers, the Prime MInister, and the principal figures of the main political parties, work.
          The Commons alone is responsible for making decisions on financial Bills, such as proposed new taxes. The Lords can consider these Bills but cannot block or amend them.

              POLITICAL PARTIES

              NATIONAL PARTIES

              National Parties are a classification of political parties and organizations which participate and have a huge impact on national-level elections. The most common considerations in classifying a party under this category are participation in at least 3 General Elections, having held at least 1 seat in the House of Commons, or having held at least 1 elected seat or 5 non-elected seat in the House of Lords.

              CONSERVATIVE AND UNIONIST PARTY (CON/보수당)

              alt text
              Founded: 1834 (original form), 1912 (current form)
              Ideology: Reitzmic Conservatism, Economic Liberalism, Reitzmic Unionism
              Political Positon: Centre-right
              Current Leader: Park Geun-hye MP, Leader of the Oppositon
              Headquarters: Hampton City
              Colour: #0087DC

              A party loosely divided into three categories: The Conservative Way Forward, who strongly support a free market and tend to be pro-European; the economically moderate, often more pro-European and socially liberal One Nation Conservatives, and the socially conservative, deeply Eurosceptic Cornerstone Group.

              LABOUR PARTY (LAB/노동 당)

              alt text
              Founded: 1900
              Ideology: Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism
              Political Positon: Centre-left
              Current Leader: Sir Simon Bridges GCB KCMG GCT MP, Prime Minister
              Headquarters: Victoria City
              Colour: #E4003B

              A social democratic party with democratic socialist elements that has its roots in the trade union movement. The party in recent years is seen to have several internal factions, which include: Momentum, Open Labour, Progress, Blue Labour, and the Labour members who stand on a split ticket with the Co-operative Party. The party absorbed the Trade Union Party in 2021.

              LIBERAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY (LIB DEM/자유당)

              alt text
              Founded: 1988
              Ideology: Reitzmic Liberalism, Social Liberalism, Globalism
              Political Positon: Centre to Centre-left

                History of the Kingdom of Reitzmag


                2nd Century AD - Early 6th Century AD
                The Angles fled from northern Germany and migrated to the north of the Caspian Sea. They met the Saxons and began trading resources with them

                Late 6th Century AD
                Three separate but distinct kingdoms rose to power on the East of Europe. England (land of the angles) was influenced by English culture and had settled on the southern portion near the Caspian sea. Saxony (land of the saxons) was influenced by a mixture of English and German culture and made up the north and eastern mountains. And Pomerania was mainly of German culture and made up all of the western portion.

                7th Century AD
                The English and the Saxons unified because of their cultural and linguistic understanding which formed the Anglo-Saxon kingdom. Richard, a Norman with Pomeranian blood on his mother's side, travels to the area today known as Reitzmag and in order to cement his claim to the Pomeranian duchy. However, the other Kingdoms take this as a time to exert based minor land claims and attack the Duchy leading to Richard eventually conquering all three of the other kingdoms. He established the name Reitzmag to title his new land after his nickname "Reitz".

                8th Century AD - 11th Century AD
                Wars began as no formal leader has been proclaimed legitimate. A monarchy was established in the tenth century during the 20 years war under the House of Normandy, this placed King William I on the throne. The revolutions and uprising continue to place reforms starting on the rule of King Philip I. The Draustwin Massacre happened during the reign of Darwin IV in 1056 which killed 2,374 Revolutionaries seeking reformation against the corrupt monarchy. The Kingdom of Wessex is conquered and annexed by the kingdom which fills its current form.

                12th Century AD - 16th Century
                Reitzmic lords began enforcing certain reforms on the administration of the country. Reitzmic explorers travelled to the East and began interaction with Asia. These explorations evolved to the beginning of trade between Reitzmag, China, Korea, and Japan. Cultural links between the country and Asia developed, with western cultures being exported to Asia while Asian cultures are imported from China and Korea.

                17th Century AD
                The parliament of the Kingdom of Reitzmag is found with a unicameral legislature made up of Lords and the Crown. Grace I became the first female monarch and the first monarch to marry an Asian royal in 1632. Asian culture had developed so much that nearly 30% of the population in the country is Asian. The country expanded and established a large Empire spanning to Asia.

                18th Century AD
                Administration of a Prime Minister as the head of government began. Andrew Jones then became the first Prime Minister upon appointment of the monarch in 1745.

                19th Century AD
                The modern parliament was formed in response to the wishes of the people to return democracy, this made the Kingdom of Reitzmag as a Constitutional Monarchy. New laws were made which limited the powers of the monarch and raised the power of the people. Male universal suffrage began allowing men to vote regardless of income, property, religion, race, social status, and etc. The first General Elections took place which elected George Hamilton Gordon as Prime Minister under the Conservative Party.

                20th Century AD
                Women were then allowed to take part in elections in 1920.

                21st Century AD
                The Kingdom of Reitzmag joins the EU and installs Ben Hufton as its first EU Council Representative. After a long time of debate and a successful plebiscite, the country established federalism where it is divided into 10 provinces.

                  EDUCATION IN THE KINGDOM OF REITZMAG


                  Summary

                  Education in the Kingdom of Reitzmag is overseen by the Ministry of Education. Local government authorities are responsible for implementing policy for public education and state-funded schools at a local level.

                  Reitzmag also has a tradition of independent schools (some of which call themselves public schools) and home education: legally, parents may choose to educate their children by any permitted means. State-funded schools may be selective grammar schools or non-selective comprehensive schools (non-selective schools in counties that have grammar schools may be called by other names, such as high schools). Comprehensive schools are further subdivided by funding into free schools, other academies, any remaining Local Authority schools and others. More freedom is given to free schools, including most religious schools, and other academies in terms of curriculum. All are subject to assessment and inspection by Ofsted (the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills).

                  The state-funded education system is divided into Key Stages based upon age: Early Years Foundation Stage (ages 3–4 by August 31st); primary education (ages 5 to 10 by August 31st), subdivided into Key Stage 1 (KS1) Infants (ages 5 to 6 by August 31st) and Key Stage 2 (KS2) Juniors (ages 7 to 10 by August 31st); secondary education (ages 11 to 15 by August 31st), subdivided into Key Stage 3 (KS3; ages 11 to 13 by August 31st) and Key Stage 4 (KS4; ages 14 to 15 by August 31st); Key Stage 5 is post-16 education (ages 16 to 17 by August 31st); and tertiary education (for ages 18+).

                  At the end of Year 11 (at age 15 or 16, depending on their birthdays) students typically take General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) exams or other Level 1 or Level 2 qualifications. For students who do not pursue academic qualifications until the end of Year 13, these qualifications are roughly equivalent to the completion of high school in many other countries.

                  While education is compulsory until 18, schooling is compulsory to 16: thus post-16 education can take a number of forms, and may be academic or vocational. This can involve continued schooling, known as "sixth form" or "college", leading (typically after two years of further study) to A-level qualifications, or a number of alternative Level 3 qualifications such as Business and Technology Education Council (BTEC), the International Baccalaureate (IB), Strathe Pre-U, WJEC or Eduqas. It can also include work-based apprenticeships or traineeships, or volunteering.

                  Higher education often begins with a three-year bachelor's degree. Postgraduate degrees include master's degrees, either taught or by research, and doctoral level research degrees that usually take at least three years. Tuition fees for first degrees in public universities are £9,250 per academic year for Reitzmic and European Union students, but may afford scholarship from the government given a minimum maintaining grade is met.

                  The Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) covers national school examinations and vocational education qualifications. It is referenced to the European Qualifications Framework, and thus to other qualifications frameworks across the European Union. The Framework for Higher Education Qualifications (FHEQ), which is tied to the RQF, covers degrees and other qualifications from degree-awarding bodies.


                  History

                  Until 1870 all schools were charitable or private institutions, but in that year the Elementary Education Act 1870 permitted local governments to complement the existing elementary schools in order to fill any gaps. The Education Act 1902 allowed local authorities to create secondary schools. The Education Act 1918 abolished fees for elementary schools.

                  Women's colleges were established in the 19th century to give women access to university education, the first being Bedford College, Hampton (1849), Girton College, Strathe (1869) and Newnham College, Liecester (1871). The University of Hampton established special examinations for women in 1868 and opened its degrees to women in 1878. University College Bristol (now the University of Liecester) became the first mixed higher education institution on its foundation in 1876, followed in 1878 by University College Hampton (which had held some mixed classes from 1871).


                  School Stages

                  Below here is a link to a table summarising the most common names of the various schools and stages. Grammar schools are normally state-funded but selective schools, admitting children from 11 years old onward, but there are exceptions.

                    SPACE INDUSTRY IN THE KINGDOM OF REITZMAG


                    HISTORY

                    Establishment

                    The Space Industry in the Kingdom of Reitzmag is led by the Kingdom of Reitzmag Space Agency or KRSA. It was established in 1948 which gave birth to a continuously developing space industry. The KRSA conducted its first launch on March 27 1952 with the Neptune Rocket.

                    alt text

                    The rocket's second stage reached about 250 miles high. This is higher than the orbit of Cansey Space Station.

                    The KRSA made a lot of progress and made hundreds of launches in 1950s. Then, a few years later, KRSA launched the Orbiter Program in 1956. The program witnessed the launch of the Griffin Rocket which carried Minotaur I, the first Reitzmic Sattelite on space.

                    alt text

                    The Orbiter Program proved successful which led to the launch of 2 more Minotaur Satellites. But by the end of the 1950s, it was replaced by the Alpha Rocket which carried the satellite Observer.

                    alt text

                    LUNAR MISSIONS

                    Alpha was not that successful and was not capable of manned launches. So the KRSA began to devise rockets that would be able to conduct manned launches. In 1961, the Saturn Program was established which made way for the Saturn family of rockets. It began with the Saturn I who launched the first manned space probe called Scout-I. The launch was a successful and proved the manned launch capabilities of Reitzmag's space industry.

                    alt text

                    Later in 1962, a Scout-II manned space probe successfully preformed a rendezvous with a Explorer manned satellite which was launched at the same day.

                    alt text

                    The KRSA was satisfied, but they thought more was necessary. So between 1963 to 1965, 3 rockets namely Saturn II, III, and IV were unsuccessful in the testing phase. So, in 1967 gave birth to the Saturn V. It was a huge heavy lift rocket, the goal was to place a man on the moon. The moon-landing program was called Midas and was first launched as Midas 1 on September 16 1967. Midas 1 was just for testing if the probe can be properly deployed in space. The fire started in the command module which swiftly went all the way down causing the rocket to explode just before T-2 and all 3 astronauts on board died.

                    The accident gave frustration to parliament which almost led to the ending of the program and cutting the KRSA's budget. But they did not lose hope, the program continued. Due to this matter, KRSA further developed the program with Midas 2 as the testing for Block 2 upgrade and Midas for the final testing of the docking mechanism. Then comes Midas 4 which was a successful unmanned flight.

                    alt text

                    Midas 5 went next with the first flight of the lunar module designed by the KRSA. Midas 5 used an upgraded Saturn I rocket. The module was successfully launched to space.

                    alt text

                    Then followed Midas 6 which demonstrated the trans-lunar injection capability of the Saturn V with a simulated payload equal to about 80% of a full Midas spacecraft. It proved the capability of the rocket to send a spacecraft to the moon.

                    alt text

                    Midas 7 was a test of the command module's ability to orbit around Earth. It was a successful manned launch. The mission used the upgraded Saturn I rocket instead of the Saturn V because it was only intended for launch in low-Earth orbit.

                    alt text

                    Midas 8 followed and was intended to have a manned command module to orbit around the moon and then return back to Earth safely. It was a success and was the first manned launch of the Saturn V rocket to reach the moon.

                    alt text

                    Midas 9 was next and was a manned flight which proved the ability of the lunar module to dock and transfer payload with the command module. It was also the first spacewalk ever done by 2 Reitzmic astronauts and the first spacewalk crew transfer. The mission was a success and the command module successfully returned to Earth.

                    alt text

                    The entire Midas-Saturn Program was near its success, and it was time to rehearse the final landing. On Midas 10 was launched via the Saturn V rocket and the command module orbited the moon, 1 of the crew were left in the command module and the other 2 were in the lunar module that landed and returned to the command module. Then the command module successfully brought back home all 3 astronauts.

                    alt text

                    And for the final moment, in August 4 1969, Midas 11 was launched. It was no longer a test or a rehearsal. everything was set. The Saturn V successfully lifted off, and brought all 3 crew to the moon. Everything done in the Midas 10 mission was done. The first man on the moon was placed by Reitzmag. The first man to step, Commander Bill McArthur, said as he stepped on the lunar surface the phrases "That's one small step of a man, One giant leap for mankind". Then all the crew made some few experiments before successfully heading back to Earth.

                    alt text

                    In the first successful mission, KRSA and the entire Kingdom of Reitzmag rejoiced for its space glory. KRSA made more launches in the next years as listed below:

                    • Midas 12 (December 1969) - First precise Moon landing in Ocean of Storms near Surveyor 3 probe. Two surface EVAs and returned parts of Surveyor to Earth.
                    • Midas 13 (March 1970) - Intended landing cancelled after SM oxygen tank exploded. LM used as "lifeboat" for safe crew return. First S-IVB stage impact on Moon for active seismic test.
                    • Midas 14 (November 1970)- Successful landing. Broadcast first color TV images from lunar surface. Conducted first materials science experiments in space. Conducted two surface EVAs.
                    • Midas 15 (June 1971)- Successful Landing. First extended LM, three-day lunar stay. First use of Lunar Roving Vehicle. Conducted 3 lunar surface EVAs and one deep space EVA on return to retrieve orbital camera film from SM.
                    • Midas 16 (March 1972)- Successful Landing. Conducted 3 lunar EVAs and one deep space EVA.
                    • Midas 17 (November 1972)- Successful Landing. First professional geologist on the Moon. First night launch. Conducted 3 lunar EVAs and one deep space EVA.

                    Cansey Space Station

                    Funding of the Lunar program was too high, and the KRSA still has no space station. A new program was launched called Cansey to establish a large space station. The construction was aided by the Saturn V and Saturn I block 2 rockets.

                    alt text

                    Construction began in 1987 and required 10 years to be completed with additional improvements throughout the years. Manned launches have continually been done by the KRSA to fill the station with crew. It's maximum capacity was 5 people but only 3 were sent every launch. In June 2018, the station was abandoned and was remotely controlled from the KRSA's control center.

                    The Delta rocket is an expendable carrier launch vehicle developed by the KRSA under the Delta Program. The rocket is currently more commonly used by the Royal Armed Forces through the Royal Space Command to launch military satellites to space. A crewed version of the rocket was conceptualized but scrapped with the establishment of the SpaceX program.

                    NURI (DELTA-2)

                    alt text

                    The Nuri Rocket, or Delta-2, is an expendable carrier launch vehicle developed by the Royal Space Force with help from the KRSA as the successor to the Delta rocket. This rocket is capable of delivering larger payloads at farther distances compared to its predecessor, based on data accumulated from test flights. It is still unknown whether a crewed version will be developed, but it has been confirmed that the rocket will be used primarily for launch of military hardware to space.

                          ARMED CONFLICTS WITH REITZMIC PARTICIPATION


                          Reitzmag had a long history of participation in conflicts, most of which are successes due to the powerful Armed Force it had shaped. It was one of the most advanced nations in terms of defense technology since it was found. Due to this, the Reitzmic Empire that made up most of Eastern Europe lasted for years until it fell due to political unrest. However, the country still boasts itself as the most successful country in multiple campaigns inside and outside Europe.

                          21st Century

                          Communist Invasion of Reitzmag - March 2020 (UNSR, CP Reitzmag vs. Inquista, Reitzmag)
                          During this time, thousands of communist rebels marched to Reitzmag and occupied different cities and areas which resulted in the deaths of thousands from both sides. The UNSR came to help the communist rebels, while Inquistans came to help the legitimate Reitzmic Government.

                          War of Germans - April 2021 (Istkalen vs. Reitzmag)
                          In the middle of spring, the Federation of Istkalen declared war against all European nations and invaded Reitzmag in a surprise border cross. Hundreds had died from both the Istkalenian side since the beginning of the war while Reitzmag lost less than 50. But after a new leadership came, Istkalen surrendered to all European nations except Reitzmag.

                          Boxing Day War - December 26-(ongoing) 2022 (Svarna Surya vs. Reitzmag, United Duchies, United Kingdom, Gadalland and Aspern, Svarnan Democratic Front)
                          Internal political unrest from Svarna Surya spilled to the International Stage with the United Duchies and Reitzmag at the forefront, receiving refugees of whom included top opposition leaders and revolutionaries. After multiple provocative acts from the opposing force, Reitzmag officially declared war in order to freely conduct military operations in the area as dictated by law. Casualties were minimal from both sides, but significant losses occurred mostly on the Svarnans with a frigate (SNS Agra) being sunk as well as key military infrastructures heavily damaged by bombardment.

                              REITZMIC CULTURE


                              Traditions, Beliefs, and Superstitions

                              Reitzmic Traditions had been modified since the Norman Conquest of the 7th Century. The Anglo-Saxon traditions remained but had been mixed with Pomeranian culture.

                              Architecture

                              Reitzmic Architecture varied throughout the centuries, but mainly considered as the most advanced and modern than other civilizations. During the middle ages, fortified stone and wood houses deemed to be safe from earthquakes had been a common sight around the country. Although the country rarely experiences earthquakes nowadays, there had been usual volcanic activity prior to the beginning of Mt. Woodrow's dormancy in the 16th Century. However, since strong cold winds have also been common in the area, heavily fortified structures helped the country survive during extreme natural phenomenon. Gothic Architecture had been developed well around the country by the late Middle Ages.

                              As the transition period began between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, Reitzmic artists led the transition from Gothic Architecture to Baroque Architecture. Churches, palaces, houses, and government structures were built in Baroque style. Along with the luxurious living in the country, many of the architecture were mixed with precious stones and minerals. Gold engravings were present around the country, and more commonly seen in more expensive residences. Some migrants to the country most likely ended the period of luxurious baroque style due to the increased cases of looting where many gold sculptures, precious stones used as design, and other expensive items had been stolen and taken to foreign lands.

                              Due to the fall of luxurious baroque architecture, artists designed a new style called guarded baroque architecture which feature exterior design that only resemble precious stones and minerals but have much less value. The new style also featured large colonnades, domes, and many very other features that make the structures look bigger. This style had remained strongly evident, longer than the Gothic Architecture, until the rise of Neoclassical architecture.

                              Artists once again looked into developing a more modern architectural style that doesn't look very distinct from Baroque Architecture. This led to the development of Reitzmic Neoclassical Architecture that brings a more modern style to Baroque while retaining the classic pre-Gothic architecture.

                              As time passed by, different variations of the neo-classical architecture had been implemented and used by Reitzmic artists and architects. But to stand up to the challenges of the modern world, a more modern style had been embraced by the country.

                              Nowadays, Reitzmic cities are filled with high-rise residential buildings. A new trend began in the 1970s where large high rise buildings feature a beautiful panoramic view of the surrounding areas due to fortified large glass walls, these windows are commonly tinted on the outside to allow for privacy whilst retaining the view from the inside. During the 1980s, a new trend came with the addition of expensive and comfortable flat or set of rooms at the top of many residential skyscrapers in the country. This became known as a penthouse and is seen in 90% of all residential skyscrapers in the country, most of which are known to be owned by various celebrities and businessmen.

                              Beauty Standards

                              Reitzmic beauty standards are known for being the strictest and is described as unrealistic. However, there had been many notable people who are treated as the best examples of those who perfectly fit these standards. The modern Reitzmic beauty standards date back from the 1700s when Reitzmic explorers visited places outside Europe and adapted their cultures during their voyages. Both males and females have their own standards with some similarities. For both genders, having a sharp v-line jaw, double eyelids, fatty deposit below the eyes, big almond eyes, small face, and fair glass skin, are all considered as beautiful. For women only, small breasts, a height of at least 160cm, no body hair, small waist, medium to small thigh gap, and no wrinkles, are some standards considered beautiful. For men only, having broad shoulders, no body hair, skinny face, developed abdominals, height of at least 180cm, and no wrinkles, are some standards seen as beautiful. Men also are commonly seen wearing either a two-block hairstyle, a comb-over side part hairstyle, or a bowl-cut. Women, on the other hand, are usually seen with medium to long hair parted at a specific ratio with the longer parting going behind the ears but above the shoulders while the other part goes straight to the back.
