Chixculub

The Democratic Republic of Chixculub (or Chixculub) is a country in North America. The country is special in that the majority of the nation seems to rely on a number that frequently re-occurs in it's culture and religion. There is no exact reasoning behind the nation's fascination with the number seven.

Flag
Chixculub's flag was adopted in 1939. The flag consists of a white background with seven blue stars (with disputed meaning) in the center. The flag, despite it's official status, is actually rarely used and is only seen at governmental buildings and on it's national borders.

Sometimes, a variant of the United States flag with the iconic seven stars in place of the normal 63 is used. This causes massive confusion and the US has attempted to take action against this.

History
Chixculub originally stood where New Tenochtitlan did before the country was conquered by Spanish forces during the formation of New Spain. At the time, the country consisted of seven tribes that ruled over areas; many theorize that this might be it's fascination with the number 7's origin.

The country existed as territory of Mexico for the longest time and was used for research operations concerning etherium deposits in and around Latin America. These were all disbanded when Mexico and Central America declared their war for independence from Spain, but ultimately as nothing was transferred the country sits on the largest deposit of raw etherium on the entire continent.

During World War II, Chixculub took many drastic measures to conserve it's etherium supply, preventing unauthorized transfer of it in and out of the nation, and inadvertently patenting etherium sensors across the nation to prevent it's supply leaking. All of this failed when Mexico invaded Chixculub due to desperation, but the supply itself was never harmed. Mexico came back with nothing after the war and was soon using etherium alternatives instead.

In the aftermath of the Cold War, Chixculub's history is not much. Trying to get on it's good side with Atlantica after several unfortunate affairs around 2010, by 2023 the country is probably the last sane thing the world has ever seen.

Politics and Government
"Seven" occurs a lot in this. Prepare your annoyance.

The country established it's main government in 1977. It relies on seven different branches, all of which tending to different involvements domestically (in order, they are policing, economic management, the military, international affairs, medical involvements and taxation) and internationally. These branches often connect with each other through various means such as the medical branch being connected to the policing branch via services; about fourteen of these connections exist.

The country itself is run by a council of seven people and seventy others with much less power than the first, usually serving as voting for proposals or being there to filter out some other smaller doings. The secondary council is elected every seven years, the primary council elected every fourteen years. An emergency election is held if a member of the primary council is deceased through any means.
