The Kingdom of Maracaibo

The Kingdom of Maracaibo, often known as just Maracaibo, is a nation on Multi's Earth World. It is located in Venezuela, and is named after the region in Venezuela of the same name. Its capital and largest city is Maracaibo.

History
Maracaibo was founded on January 11, 2021 by Czech_Doggo, who was the Provisional Prime Minister. He cofounded it with blz_man, who was the current King of Pandsburg following Mradper's abandonment of the nation. With the desire to create a constitutional monarchy, Doggo reached out to BigVinny24, former Emperor of the VFMC who was retired in Cayo Avai at the time, to be coronated as King of Maracaibo. Initially reluctant, BigVinny eventually accepted, taking the title of Vicente I, King of Maracaibo.

Soon after its creation, Maracaibo created a provisional government, with Doggo taking the mantle of Provisional Prime Minister until an election is held. The first election took place on January 16, with blz_man winning the position of Prime Minister.

On January 19, the democratic system was abruptly abolished. Following political unrest as a result of days of arguing between blz and Doggo, as well as threats of seceding, dissolving, or leaving the nation, a power vacuum was left. Instead of leaving, blz, Doggo, and the rest of the Maracaibans unanimously voted to give BigVinny absolute power as King. Basically, BigVinny inadvertently transformed Maracaibo into an autocracy by the consent of the governed. This sudden shift of power has been described by foreigners as an "accidental coup by Vinny" and jokingly praised as a smart and intricate political scheme.

Politics
As of January 19, Maracaibo is an absolute monarchy. The government is run by BigVinny, the King, who makes most if not all major decisions, however he will turn to the people for their opinions on administrative functions when necessary. There still exists a Prime Minister, albeit less powerful who will aid the King in decisions. The King has a Royal Advisor, Crimson, who is responsible for serving the King and surveying the entire Kingdom.

As of now, there are two major political parties, which are the Democratic Socialist Party of Maracaibo (Partido Socialista de Maracaibo) and the Maracaibo Forward Party (Maracaibo Adelante). Maracaibo Forward is a progressive party with a platform that primarily focuses on equal rights and infrastructure reform, while the Democratic Socialist Party is democratic socialist, as implied by the name, which promotes internal self-sufficiency and the equal distribution of resources. Although parties have little actual political power, the King will provide and conform to the needs of each party accordingly. Due to his loss of power, Doggo attempted a coup, but failed, and left to Vinland.

Major Locations
Because it has been established rather recently, Maracaibo is not as developed as the likes of the Roman Republic and Dajiang, but it does have a few major developed areas.

El Perro Plantations:

These plantations are the main agricultural centre of the entire Kingdom. They were run by Doggo, who is also the namesake of the plantations. The main products of the plantations are wheat, melons, and sugarcane. After Doggo left, they were made open for all use.

Maracaibo (Capital):

The capital, also named Maracaibo, is the most developed and populated of all of the Kingdom. It consists of several houses, a beacon, and a Nether Portal.

Castillo del Vicente:

The royal residence of BigVinny. Constructed in collaboration with blz and Vinny, the castle lays on a large mountain at around y-200. It features three uniquely shaped towers. The main tower is the tallest and widest, and is the main living space of the King, containing his personal belongings and a personal farm. The second tower is thinner yet very tall, which mostly serves the purpose of a watchtower. The third tower is the most unique, being cylindrical with a dome.

Canaco Mountain:

This area, inhabited by Crimson, features a collection of house within The Canaco Mountain. It features the first railway line in Maracaibo, running through the mountain.
