 until the 1960s.

The Bangallan flag is blue with a yellow crescent to the left, and a star and a circle to the right.

The word Bangalla is also an Australian Aboriginal word meaning golden perch.

Regime

Bangalla is a former British colony, but is today a democracy. The country's first president is named Lamanda Luaga. Luaga is a retired general in the Bangallan National Army, before he led a rebellion against the evil King Kabakaluki II, who ruled the country as a dictatorial monarch for about 10 years before Luaga overthrew him and setup a republic. Luaga was initially replaced by the evil Kigali Lubanga, who ruled the country as a dictator for a short period, before the people started a rebellion and Luaga was re-elected. (Lubanga has since shown up on several occasions to haunt the Phantom and tried to take power, also general Jebral Bababu and Mawitaan mayor George Gorga has made several unsuccessful coup d'états).

Neighbouring countries

Bangala is also near Ivory Lana (also called Fari Lana), whose president Abraham Goranda is a friend of Luaga, and Rodia (also written Rhodia).

Laws and Constitution

The Constitution of Bangalla is much like the United States Constitution
United States Constitution

The Constitution of the United States of America is the supreme law of the United States. It is the foundation and source of the legal authority underlying the existence of the United States of America; the Federal Government of the United States; and all the State & local governments and Territorial Administrative bodies contained therein....


The Executive Branch

The executive branch of the constitution mandates a President of the Republic of Bangalla, a Vice President and a Cabinet of Ministers. The president & vice president are elected for a 5 year term. the last presidential election was held in 2005.

The Legislative Branch

The legislative branch is made up of a Senate and a House of Representatives. The members of the senate are elected for 6 year terms, and are chosen from each of Bangalla's 33 provinces 3 from each province. The members of the house of representatives are elected for 2 year terms, there are at present 400 members in the house.

The Judiciary Branch

The judiciary branch is made up of a Supreme Court and lesser courts. the supreme court consists of a 9 justices.

Recent events have established that the president, should he deem it necessary, has the power to suspend the laws. President Luaga, for instance, suspended the rules against striking or assaulting the president, in an effort to have a fair fistfight with a citizen. Such an exhibition of power suggests that the legislature of Bangalla is weaker than in many commonwealth countries.
