The Ecclesiastical Mountain Republic, a Constancian protectorate established after 1.I.1692 AN, following the withdrawal of Surenid garrisons from the contested highland plateau located between the mineral rich Durani and Rodopi mountain ranges situated in central Eura, governs the former territories of Eklesia.
The super volcano Mount Duranian is situated within the borders of the Ecclesiastical Mountain Republic, representing, along with the plethora of fortified monastic institutions found under its shadow, one of the main draws for travellers to the the territory.
It is was governed by a Senior Minister within the Office of the Mesazon, who acted with plenipotentiary authority similar to the Civil Administrator for Raspur, with respect to the Ecclesiastical Mountain Republic. In 1696, this was replaced with a in the person of Vüqar Rugahi, and amendments to the law granted them district representation in the Imperial Synkletos, as well as as an elected 24-member Advisory Council, elected by locals for a six-year term alongside national elections.
Inge Mathias, senior member of the Advisory Council, was appointed Civil Administrator on 13.XIII.1738. She had been acting as Civil Administrator without lawful basis since Vüqar Rugahi fell into a coma on 13.XV.1737. Repeated representations to the Autokrator of Constancia from Dikastis of the Imperial Synkletos representing the Ecclesiastical Mountain Republic resulted in the Autokratorial Decree eventually being issued, with an addendum that in the absence or inability of the Civil Administrator, the senior member of the Advisory Council would immediately assume the office of Civil Administrator.
Economy
On 19.XII.1683, the Board of Directors of the Honorable Company ratified the expansion of the Imperial & Emirati Bank of Alalehzamin and Constancia via a branch in Zugashvili, as well as the branch expansion of the Imperial and Emirati Bank of the Sathrati Islands, also via a branch in Zugashvili.
At that same meeting, the construction of flaktowers and a ziggurat in Eklesian territory, as well as a new Residency office to complement the airport, were initiated.
Primary services, such as the provision of electricity, water and sewerage, solid waste management services, road construction and maintenance, as well as civil administration over the Zugashvili Airport were immediately bid out to the ESB Group in the absence of competitors, in 1695. The Eklesia Copper Corporation, 40% owned by the Government of the Ecclesiastical Mountain Republic, was also incorporated in 1695 under Constancian law, and immediately began mineral exploration and small-scale mining operations.
The Ecclesiastical Mountain Republic is subject to the same tax regime throughout the Imperial State of Constancia, as well as an annual head tax of one hundred Constancian Staters per adult (of 21 years to 60 years), which may be paid monthly or annually.
Sports
The Republic is represented in international football by its own national football team, which is recognised as an official successor team of Eklesia by the FMF.
