Sayaffallah Pronunciation & Linguistics
Pronounced Sa-eye-yef-al-uh, the language of Sayaffallah can be characterized as derivative of influences from distinctive lingual groups specifically being Ramna (Arabic), Engle (English), Farish (French), Itarian (Italian). The language is spoken by over 99.2% of the inhabitants of the Sultanate of Sayaffallah and is the official language of business and education within the country. The language has developed over the centuries from pre tribal origins and has become the national language through the great unification efforts of past Sultans of Sayaffallah to bring together the many ethnic groups that make up the country. Sayaffallan is easily picked up once one knows the key letters of the alphabet and its key phrases.
The separate sub languages of Ramna (Arabic) Engle (English) Farish (French) Itarian (Italian) make up the ethnic diversity of Sayaffallah and its people. The language of Rama is characteristic of the people in the far north of the country while the language of Engle is characteristic of the people living in the central western part of the country while Farish is normally heard in the central eastern part of the country and the melodic sub language of Itarian can be heard in the southern stretches of the country towards the beautiful coastline of Sayaffallah.
Travelling to Sayaffallah
As you enter the country one of the first things you will see invariably are the swaying palm trees and the beautiful lakes stretching across the horizon and the closer you get to the coast the more temperate the climate and yet if you were to travel north you would eventually come upon towering mountainous peaks with small villages dotting its ridges and crags and valleys. The country's geographic appeal is diverse and one of the prime reasons that so many come to visit its teaming shores year after year. Sayaffallah enjoys a moderate climate in its southern stretches and a sub arctic climate in its most northern areas which provides significant to extreme levels of snowfall during the cold and brutal winter months. Meanwhile the south enjoys nearly year round sunshine and significant amounts of heat filled days stretching from the brilliant days of summer into the shorter days of winter.
Sayaffallah has a modern transportation infrastructure extending from its coast to its heartland composed of high speed rail networks and interconnected ferry transports and of course one of the world's most thriving general aviation communities with regular commercial and private flights to the major and regional cities of Sayaffallah. The primary mode of transportation is of course through the vast motorways that dot the country and many choose this method of travel because of the low cost of petrol in this oil producing country. Sayaffallah does not have a formal speed limit requirement but instead relies on strict rules for driver etiquette and behavior penalizing those who are responsible for speed related crashes with a demonstrated severity ranging from jail time to steep fines. As a result the number of speed related fatalities are quite low, the main cause of death on the motorways comes from vehicle/animal collisions as the sprawl of urban areas prompts greater encounters between the native wildlife of Sayaffallah and its human residents.
The rail system of Sayaffallah has received great acclaim in recent months and years and has seen significant growth as it has become formally extended from its traditional operation area in the coastal and central areas of the country to now the far northern stretches which in the past have only been accessible by vehicle and traditional oxen/plow methods of reaching isolated communities. As the rail system expands so have the communities of Sayaffallah and one of the primary concerns of its residents is the problem of urban sprawl. In the most recent elections the parliament was given a resounding answer that the number one issue facing residents was that of congestion in the cities and its transportation networks. Since that election the parliament has voted to increase the size and scope of the rail networks to alleviate road congestion and to provide greater service to smaller towns across the country.
Government System of Sayaffallah
Sayaffallah is an absolute monarchy with a consultative parliament. His Excellency the Sultan, Amir, makes all final decisions and can override decisions at his discretion made by the parliament but this seldom happens. Many outside observers suggest that this system is more of a parliamentary monarchy and this might be true but in his benevolence (May He Live Forever MHLF) the Sultan has decided that the form of government will be called an Absolute Monarchy with Consultative Assembly.
The parliament is elected of representatives of every region in the country. Each region is given 5 representatives for a total of 120 regions which gives 600 representatives for the session of parliament. Parliament lasts from January 1 through January 1 with elections taking place December 1-5 in a staggered format across the regions. That means each day for 5 days there are 24 elections for 24 regions a day for a total of all 120 regions. Parliamentary representatives are paid a stipend amount for all expenses directly from the private treasury of the Sultan (MHLF) so that no compensation of the assembly comes from taxation of the citizens of the country.
The Parliament has the following duties
-Establish new laws -Provide oversight of the infrastructure -Provide oversight of the judiciary -Provide oversight of the media (propaganda against the Sultan is forbidden) -Provide for disaster relief and emergency response during crises -Remove old laws
For each duty the Sultan is required to provide his consent or dissent. The Sultan (MHLF) has the following duties
-Declare War/Make Peace -Raise/Lower Taxes -Declare heir/successor -Make religious pronouncements -Conduct and control diplomacy
It is worth noting that the Sultan does not have authority to dismiss or disband the Parliament and the Parliament likewise does not have the authority to investigate, charge or dismiss the Sultan. Those who are currently sitting members of parliament are immune from prosecution except for Crown Offenses which are the most serious crimes (murder, treason, rape, etc). In the event that a member of parliament is brought to trial for a Crown Offense their seat is voided until the next election.
Healthcare in Sayaffallah
The healthcare system is built around the trilogy concept which serves as the guiding principle for the governance of the hospital system within Sayaffallah. The hospital system is governed by the Sayaffallah Ministry of Health which is responsible for ensuring that the accreditation body is maintaining the correct level of accountability and that each hospital is provided with an allocation of appropriate workforce for operating. Every region has a hospital center that provides acute and emergency care with a step up facility in the central part of the country. The hospital centers ensure that each region (120 in total) has the ability to provide the best possible level of care to its people and to ensure that staffing is proportionately shared amongst all the applicable hospitals.
There has been recent movements to privatize care and several privatized clinics have popped up in rural towns in the more isolated parts of Sayaffallah and those clinics have been small enough to escape accreditation by the government body. Accreditation is a required process for all medical services in Sayaffallah and it ensures that they meet a modicum standard of cleanliness, standard practice and a reduced fatality rate. If a hospital consistently receives an improvement alert their board of governors will be summoned by the Ministry of Health to explain remedial steps they will take to improve upon the suggestions made in the improvement alert by the accreditation board. If a hospital fails to meet these standards after three consecutive improvement alerts the hospital is placed under the control of the Ministry of Health for a 10 year period or until sufficient improvements have been made to warrant a transition back to the local board of governors.
The Ministry of Health in Sayaffallah is staffed by the majority party in government which appoints the Minister of Health. The Minister of Health likewise serves in their position for a year period unless of course in the next election sees a new government installed thus resulting in a likely new individual for the position of Ministry of Health. The Deputy Minister of Health is a non political position appointed directly by the Sultan (MHLF) who takes charge of the Ministry of Health during the month of December should he/she be needed for any emergency that should arise during the election period.
