Etymology
The common use of the words “Kolsi” and “Kolstinayy” was not present for a large period of modern Kolsi history in. Instead, the term K’tahllan & Ktahl were used by native Kolsi people. After the fall of the First Kingdom and founding of the first republic, a lot of foreign influence once deemed “unpure” and “against the Kaltas people and their values” slowly seemed to seep into Kolstinayy, along with more foreigners themselves, bringing their own languages and accents. With the influence, the average pronunciation of the word seemed to reach the more modern name of Kolstinayy. However, The First K’tahllan Republic remained the name until the first Civil War where a new Kolsi state was founded. K’tahllan to now be used as the term for the entirety of Kolsi territory- however, with several fragmented states & the want of not several of these countries be named K’tahllan, The Second Republic settled on the name “The Free Republic of Kolstinayy.” The term K’tahllan is often used by those who believe “pure” Kolsi are the only ones who should be present in Kolstinayy and that all foreigners should be expelled or terminated. The average Kolsi person does not use the word K’tahllan, as it is almost used hand-in-hand with both racist and pig.

Geography

Administrative Regions
Kolstinayy is a representative liberal democracy with no state religion. However, religions are embedded into the core of Kolstinayy and influences many political beliefs within the average Kolsi citizen. As a liberal democracy, it has universal sufferage and promotes a multi-party system. Governmental authority is legitimately exercised only in accordance with written, publicly disclosed laws adopted and enforced in accordance with established procedure. The federal government assumes the main legislative responsibilities and the federated Kaolajì (regions) assume many executive tasks.

In Kolstinayy’s regions, Governors are elected by the people and serve 4 year terms, carrying out the management of their own Kaolajì The Kaolajì are semi sovereign republics sharing sovereignty with the federal government and manage tasks such as interstate commerce, creating local governments, and holding elections. Due to the shared sovereignty between the Kaolajì and the federal government, Kolsi are citizens of both the Kaolajì they live in and the federal government.

Representatives
Each representative is elected to a two-year term serving the people of a specific district. Among other duties, representatives introduce bills and resolutions, offer amendments and serve on committees. The number of representatives with full voting rights is 750. The number of representatives per state is proportionated to population.

The Kolsi Constitution provides for both the minimum and maximum sizes for the House of Representatives. Currently, there are 5 delegates (each) representing the District of Rannayka, Territory of Bamella, and the District of K’ispevo. The delegates possess the same powers as other members of the House, except that they may not vote when the representatives are meeting as The Kolsi Parliament. To be elected, a representative must be at least 20 years old, a Kolsi citizen for at least five years and an inhabitant of the Kaolajì they wish to represent. [W.I.P]
