Volga Oblast

The Federative Oblast of the Volga, or simply referred to as the Volga Oblast, or just Volga. Is a small nation located in and around the city of Volgograd, it claims sovereignty as a region of the federation, though it is effectively independent due to the federation's collapse.

Founded by Valery Gerasimov, the state had existed in one way or another for about 50 years, and after the passing of Gerasimov at age 105The region is in a re-awakening, as Gerasimov's successor: Grigori Zelin, is hard at work building a stable foundation for the state to re-emerge as not just a band of soldiers occupying an empty ghost town, But as the heroes of a Russian renaissance, birthed from the place bearing the mark of the "Hero City".

1. People's Council:
The People's Council is selected via an election for the local people,

This department of the government is supposed to act as a platform to voice the concerns of the lower class.

2. State Council:
The State Council is a legislative body which is staffed by those personally picked by Zelin, and acts as a more refined version of the former military high command which had been in power during the Gerasimov Period.

The both of these have the job of proposing new laws to the Governor-General, who is the main governing authority of the state. The position is currently occupied by Grigori Zelin.

Laws are continously debated and tweaked amongst the two councils, until they are either rejected or approved, in which case the law would be sent to the Governor-General for review, and as the governor-general, he has authority to reject the law outright, or send it back for the houses to repeat the process once more.
