Zaire is a semi-unitary presidential republic created under the Consitution of 2073, written by the late Artor Wisci. This consitution created many of the institutions, such as the Assembly. This constitution was planned to turn Zaire into a parliamentary republic, however, due to the Zairean civil war; it never came to pass.

Currently, the republic is structured under the Constitution of 2073 created by then-Colonel Tarquin Soll. This constitution transformed Zaire into a presidential republic. This Constitution has been heavily criticized as a result of its many flaws and loopholes, and could potentially be replaced or reformed if the sitting president wishes.

As of 2097, the Republic of Zaire has a three-branch government; with the legislative branch being the Grand National Assembly, the judicial branch being the Supreme Court, and the executive branch the Office of the President. Ideally, the checks and balances between these branches would equalize their power in the government; however, in practice, this is hardly the case.

Despite the Assembly being designated as the unicameral legislative body, the Supreme Court actually wields considerable legislative power, allowing it to effectively bypass the Assembly. Additionally, the President has the right to an absolute veto, allowing him or her to completely reject a policy passed by the Assembly without further question.

Given that the Assembly is the most democratic aspect of the government, the fact that it is stymied by the other branches has been a subject of debate ever since Soll signed the Constitution into law.

History: The Zairean nation-state was established following the 2026 the China Revolution when Egmund Norsord proclaimed the state of Zaire in 2033, with himself as General Cansul . The Cansul promoted a Zairean identity, one based in nationalism and a proud military tradition. One of the Zairean army's first feats was the conquest of East Bludia (the present day region of Bergia) from the Kingdom of Wehlen.

The Bludish people, who had inhabited Bergia for centuries, were at first welcoming to the Zairean. However, they were treated poorly by their new Zairean overlords; being subjected to racist laws, forced to relocate to make way for Zairean settlers, and the suppression of the Bludish language. In contrast, the Agnolian people were treated well and were even given more privileges than the Bludish, so long as they assimilate into the Zairean culture — Those who assimilated are now known as Agno-Zairean.

However, General Cansul Egmund began losing popularity due to many unpopular decisions and the fact that he failed to appoint a successor. A republican movement inspired by the Arcasian and Contanan revolutions soon rose to national prominence. Led by Artor S. Wisci, the republican movement grew in popularity and by , it had fractured the monarchy's support. On September 9, 2066, the modern Republic of Zaire was founded with Wisci as its first president.

Republican era (2066-present)
Wisci wrote a constitution which tried to establish the institutions necessary for a democratic republic, the most notable of which was the Grand National Assembly. But due to the fact that Zairean was now a republic. Soon, Wisci's government became the victim of a military coup led by the nationalist general, Eduard Luderin. Luderin instituted a reign of terror that crushed dissent against his government. The Zairean Civil War erupted in 2072 when Iannick Rikard, outraged by the violence, ordered an attack against Luderin's troops.

The civil war ended after Colonel Tarquin Soll intervened in the Battle of Holsord, which resulted in Luderin's capture and Rikard's death. Soll restored the republic with himself as president and established the United Zairean Party (UZP), which served as the governing party of Zaire. Under Soll's leadership, the young republic experienced stability and growth and protection from foreign influence, which solidified the country's position.

Unfortunately over time, Soll grew increasingly authoritarian, which brought the country into stagnation and increased political and racial tensions. Tarquin Soll was eventually succeeded by Ewald Alphonso, a reformist within the UZP who promised to bring reform to the country. Unfortunately, a combination of infighting, a hasty liberalization of the economy and continental economic tensions led to a recession and the empowerment of various oligarchs.

Economy
Description: The economy of Zaire is a developing mixed market economy having recently transitioned from a planned economy which had promoted economic autarky under policies collectively known as Sollonomics. Major industries in the country include mining, oil and natural gas extraction, energy, fishing, tourism, agriculture, and the steel industry. Four large corporations; the Zaire State Corporation (ZSC), the Bergia Steel Corporation, the Heart of Zaire Conglomerate (HOZ), and the Nedam Mining Group, collectively known as the Big Four, form the backbone of Zaire economic landscape.

Zaire is currently in a recession; caused by a decrease in trade volume, mismanagement of free market reform under President Alphonso's administration (referred to as Alphonsonomics), and decaying infrastructure.
The recession was only prevented from turning into a depression by strategic landmark trade agreements.

The currency of Zaire is the Zaire ren (ZR), issued by the Central Bank of Zaire. .

Industries: The Zaire energy industry is protected by the Energy Protection Act (EPA), legislation passed under the National Autarky Plan in 2069, to prevent foreign ownership of critical energy companies. It was fixed at 10% before it was increased to 20% in 2084 as part of Alphonso's free market reforms. There is discussion amongst many in government about increasing the EPA, returning it to 10% or abolishing it entirely
