'''Raingate''' ([[Wikipedia:Japanese_language|Japanese]]: 雨門, ''Amemon''), officially the '''Principality of Raingate''' ([[Wikipedia:Japanese_language|Japanese]]: 雨門公国, ''Amemon Kōkuni''), is a [[Wikipedia:Sovereign_state|sovereign state]] located within the eastern landmass of [[Outernatia]]. It is bordered by [[Lettuce]] in the north, [[Gandhara]] in the east, [[Háttųka]] in the south and the ocean in the west. It has a population of around 10.5 million people making it the 11th most populous country in Outernatia.
'''Raingate''', officially the '''Federal Republic of Raingate''', is a country in [[Outernatia|Outernaia]]. Raingate covers an area of 261,625 square kilometres (101,014 sq miles) and has a population of 10.5 million within its ten provinces and two territories. The country is officially bilingual at federal level with the official languages being [[Wikipedia:English|English]] and [[Wikipedia:Afrikaans|Afrikaans]]. It is bordered by [[Lettuce]] and [[Gandhara]].


Raingate consists of 10 regions; Princeland, Sunshine Coast, Florem, Cambria, The Vale, Whiterun, Blackreach, Winterhold, High Rock and The Rift. Its capital city Solitude is located in Princeland as is one of the most urbanised cities in western Outernatia. The current Raingatian monarch is Prince Louis Tomlinson.
Raingate is a [[Wikipedia:federal republic|federal]], [[Wikipedia:parliamentary democratic|parliamentary]], [[Wikipedia:representative democracy|representative democratic]] republic. Federal legislative power is vested in the parliament which is known at the ''Citadel''. The ''Citadel'' is elected through direct elections using the [[Wikipedia:mixed-member proportional representation|mixed-member proportional representation]] system. The members of the ''Citadel'' represent and are appointed by the governments of the ten provincess. The president is the head of state and invested primarily with representative responsibilities and powers. They are elected by the ''Citadel'' and an equal number of state delegates.


== Politics ==
== Demographics ==
Raingate is sovereign state run under a constitutional monarchy. Prince Louis Tomlinson is the head of state of Raingate and is joined by his husband Prince Harry Tomlinson. The monarch has "the right to be consulted, the right to encourage, and the right to warn".
 
Raingate has a parliamentary government based on the Westminster system, a legacy of the British Empire. The parliament of Raingate meets in the Royal Chambers of Solitude, Princeland and has two houses: an elected Representatives' Order and an appointed Leaders' Order . All bills passed are given Royal Assent before becoming law.
 
The position of prime minister, Raingate's head of government, belongs to the person most likely to command the confidence of the Peoples House; this individual is typically the leader of the political party or coalition of parties that holds the largest number of seats in that House. The prime minister chooses 9 members of the Representatives' Order to form a cabinet who are then moved to the Leaders' Order and appointed as the leaders of each of the 10 regions. By convention, the prime minister is always the leader of Princeland Region. The prime minister and the 9 leaders within the cabinet are formally appointed by the monarch to form the government of Raingate. Conventionally, the Prince respects the prime minister's decisions of government and has rarely overruled laws passed through the houses.
 
[[File:Karren_Brady.png|thumb|170px|right|Karren Brady, prime minister of Raingate.]]
The cabinet and leaders are traditionally drawn from members of the prime minister's party and mostly from the Peoples House but always from both legislative houses. Executive power is exercised by the prime minister and leaders. The current Prime Minister is Karren Brady, who has been in office since Raingate's formation on 18 July 2015. Brady is the leader of the Labour and Liberal Alliance Party. For general elections, the people of each region vote for which party and party leader they would like to govern Raingate. The party with the most votes in a region wins a majority for that region. The party with the most regional majorities then wins the general election as is sworn into power. For elections to the Peoples House, the 10 regions each elect three members of parliament who are then elected to represent that region within the house by simple plurality. General elections and Peoples House elections are called by the monarch when the prime minister so advises. The Parliament Act 2015 requires that a new election must be called no later than 5 years after the previous elections.


The Labour and Liberal Alliance Party is Raingate's main political party and represents the Raingatian traditions of socialism and social liberalism. Other main parties include The Peoples Socialist Party and the Asian Front.

'''Political System'''
 
Legislative power is vested in the Parliament, which consists of the prime minister and two orders; the citizen-elected Representative's Order and the internally-elected Leaders' Order. Overall, the Parliament of Raingate consists of 40 members; the prime minister, the 9 leaders of the Leaders' Order and the 40 people of the Representatives' Order. Majority approval from both Orders is needed to pass legislation.
 
The members of the Representatives' Order are elected every 5 years. The 40-seat Order is elected directly through the proportional representation system whereby each regions elects a set number of members to represent them in the Order. The number of members representing a region is determined by the population within that region. For example, the most populous region of Priceland has 5 members in the Order, while the least populous region of The Rift has 2 representatives in the Order.
 
Following the most recent general election, the current prime minister is Karren Brady of the Labour and Liberal Alliance. The majority of the Representatives' Order is made up of members from this party.

'''Climate'''
 
Raingate has a temperate climate, with plentiful rainfall all year round. The temperature varies with the seasons rarely dropping below −15 °C or rising above 38 °C. The prevailing wind is from the south-west and bears frequent spells of mild and wet weather from the Ocean, although the eastern parts, particularly High Rock and The Rift regions, are mostly sheltered from this wind since the majority of the rain falls over the western regions the eastern parts are therefore the driest. Continental windstreams however bring hot summers and mild winters to the western regions of Sunshine Coast, Florem and Cambria. Whereas these windstreams bring milder summers and colder winters to the eastern regions of Winterhold, High Rock and The Rift. High Rock is particularly prone to significantly cold winters due to the mountainous terrain shielding the warmer oceanic wind streams. Summers are warmest in the south-east of Raingate, particularly in the regions of Sunshine Coast and Florem, the former of which is a popular tourist destination. Heavy snowfall can occur in winter and early spring on high ground, and occasionally settles to great depth away from the hills. Winterhold region is notorious in regards to fallen snow taking an excessive amount of time to clear due to the regions expansive and low lying ground.
 
==Economy==
 
'''Transport'''
 
A radial road network totals 29,145 miles of main roads, 2,173 miles of motorways and 213,750 miles of paved roads. The R1, encircling Solitude, is one of the largest and busiest bypass systems in the world.
 
Raingate has a railway network of 10,072 miles. Raingate Rail owns and manages all the infrastructure of the rail network as well as operating passenger trains that carry over 12,000 passenger trains daily. There are also some 1,000 freight trains in daily operation. The Eastern Metro is considered to be one of the most expansive metro systems in the world as is covers an area that serves the regions of Princeland, Sunshine Coast, Florem and Cambria. The Overground Rail network covers the majority of the country and serves all major towns and cities.
 
The three largest airports in Raingate are Solitude Airport, McQueen Airport and Azure Bay Airport. Solitude International Airport, located 15 miles east of the capital, has the most international passenger traffic of any airport in the Eastern Outernaian mainland and is the hub for the Raingate flag carrier Raingate Airways.
