Island of Arube

The Island of Arube (ꕉꖬꔅ (Asupe) in Ta'aroha) is an island in the bay of Guasu situated between Ta'aroha and the Teleri Republic. It is contested between both parties, it has belonged de jure and de facto to the Teleri Republic since its joining with the Treaty of Keninèj, but Ta'aroha still claim it as theirs since their annexation of the island and occupation of the Republic during the Second World War.

Auynic Empire
The island of Asupe was one of the early conquests of the burgeoning empire. The island was part of the !central_province.

Teleri invasion
When the Teleri first invaded Auynic lands they did not reach the island, they would however conquer it soon after. There they would found many new settlements that would compete against each other for control over all the other cities on the island. This struggle would eventually be won by the city of Keninèj, this newfound unity would allow the island to move past its fragmentation and into stability and centralisation.

The Republic of Arube
The Republic of Arube started as a vassal of the Kingdom of Pesrey, but as the king lost more and more power and influence the Republic would gain in independence as the teleri world entered the Pogitich Period. During this period the Island would become a hub of both commerce and piracy, indeed it was well known at the time that Keninèj both employed and harboured pirate companies as protection for their merchant fleets, as a weapon against their competitors, and as a guarantee of security for the island, as the pirates patrolled the seas lifting the need for an Arubean military fleet. After their joining of the Teleri Republic Arubean pirates would become Teleri ones, serving the interests of the Republic and working ever closer with its military fleets, until their eventual incorporation into the teleri navy in the early 1700's.

The Teleri Republic
The Republic of Arube joined the Teleri Republic in 1462 with the signing of the Treaty of Keninèj, the Act of Partnership, and the Act of Integration, the treaty differs however from the two other acts as it allows some exemptions for the New Arubean Pogiti from some Teleri legislation. This treaty would also exempt them from the Act of Uniformity, thus allowing the pogiti to retain the Republic of Arube's institutions.

Institutions
The institutions that now rule the Pogiti of Arube have seldom changed since the times of the Republic of Arube, they have been reformed over the years but the main framework has not changed.

Executive
The executive branch is composed of the chief executive, the !governor/leader_in_teleri, and their cabinet, the high council. The !governor/leader_in_teleri is elected by the legislature, they then choose their own high councilors. The high council has five positions which are often filled by experts is a multitude of domains who advise the !governor/leader_in_teleri.

Legislature
The legislature is Unicameral, its seats are allotted to each city of the Pogiti based on population, in each city candidates are elected to the allotted seats in a proportional system. The powers and duties of the legislature are described by the Act of Integration, and the Act of Uniformity, but also by the Treaty of Keninèj, which has special clauses for the Pogiti.

Judiciary
The judicial branch of the Pogiti government is the main aspect of the institutions of the Republic of Arube that was heavily changed, indeed it was completely reformed by the Courts Act which standardised the judicial institutions of the whole Republic.

Subdivisions
There are only two levels of government inside of the Pogiti, the Pogiti government, and the Municipal government. The Island of Arube is divided into X Cities which have administrative jurisdiction over their territory.
