'''The Sovereign Province of Benito''' ({{IPA-all|bɛˈnitɔ|pron}}), in [[Glheþ|Talossan]] ''la Provinçù Soveran da Benito'' ({{IPA-all|lɐ pɾɔvinˈsu sɔvɛˈɾan dɐ bɛˈnitɔ}}), is a province of [[Talossa]]. Formerly known as Mussolini, the province name was changed following a referendum of its citizens, during which the actions of the Italian dictator of the same name were denounced. The renaming was affirmed at the national level through [[Acknowledging the Renaming of Mussolini Province|38PD1]], which became law on April 26, 2008. The province was granted the right to self-govern during the 39th Cosa with the proclamation of a [[Constitution of Benito|Constitution]] by Viceré [[Owen Edwards]].


Benitians who reside in the U.S. State of Ohio have established the Cjovani subculture. Notable activities of this subculture include viewing Spaghetti Western films and playing bocce ball.

'''The Free and Sovereign Province of Belacostă''' ({{IPA-all|bɛlaˈkɔstɐ|pron}}), in [[Glheþ|Talossan]] ''la Provinçù Liveradă es Soveran da Belacostă'' ({{IPA-all|lɐ pɾɔvinˈsu livɛˈɾaðɐ ɛs sɔvɛˈɾan dɐ bɛlaˈkɔstɐ}}), is a province of [[Talossa]]. Originally known as Mussolini, the province name was first changed to ''Benito'' following a referendum of its citizens, during which the actions of the Italian dictator were denounced. The renaming was affirmed at the national level through [[Acknowledging the Renaming of Mussolini Province|38PD1]], which became law on April 26, 2008. To completely divest itself of any associations with fascism, the province was renamed for a second time on July 1, {{year|2024}}.<ref>https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=3314.0</ref> This second renaming introduced the current moniker of ''Belacostă'', taken from the Talossan for "beautiful riverbank", in reference to the province's scenic position along the [[Manaweg]]. The province was granted the right to self-govern during the 39th Cosa with the proclamation of a [[Constitution of Belacostă (2008)|Constitution]] by then-Viceré [[Owen Edwards]]; the province adopted a new [[Constitution of Belacostă|Constitution]] in 2025.

=== Head of State ===


The Head of State is the '''Viceré''' (known in other provinces as the Cunstaval or Constable). The Viceré is appointed for an indefinite term by the Monarch to serve as the vice regal representative to the Province. Under the Benitian Constitution, the authority of the Viceré is limited to powers which mimic those of the Monarch at the National level.
The Head of State is the '''Viceroy''' (known in other provinces as the [[Cunstaval]] or Constable). The Viceroy is appointed to a renewable term of up to three years by the King, in accordance with [[Organic Law]], to serve as the Crown's representative to the Province. Under the Belacostan Constitution, the authority of the Viceroy is limited to powers which mimic those of the Crown at the national level. The current Viceroy is [[Glüc da Dhi]], who was appointed by [[King Txec]] on 23 February {{year|2025}}.


=== Head of Government ===
===Head of Government===
The Head of Government of Benito is the Maestro. The Maestro is elected by the members of the Assembly, the lower house of the Benitian legislature, at the beginning of each term; it can be removed through a motion of no confidence. Under the Benitian Constitution, the Maestro can issue legislative proclamations, which are similar to [[Prime Dictate|Prime Dictates]] at the national level.
The collective head of government in Belacostă is the known as the '''Provincial Council''' (''el Cußeglh Provincial''), a three-member panel elected at each [[general election]]. The three members of the Council, known as Provincial Consuls, choose from among themselves a presiding officer, the '''Governor''' (''Governadeir''), who fills the role of a "singular" head of government in situations that would call for it. Under the Belacostan Constitution, the Governor can issue legislative proclamations, which are similar to [[Prime Dictate|Prime Dictates]] at the national level.


To assist in his governance, the Maestro can appoint an indefinite number of Aldermen to act as provincial ministers, and can choose a member of the House he does not sit in to serve as his representative in that House. To ensure independents are properly represented, and that particularly active Benitians are not barred from the Legislative Chancellery by not receiving seats in the Assembly, the Maestro can additionally appoint to the provincial Senate a number of temporary apppointees, up to half the number of Senators by right.
To assist in their governance, the Council can appoint an indefinite number of ministers, who may be dismissed either by the Council or by the Provincial Assembly. The term of ministers ends when the Provincial Assembly is closed for business upon the dissolution of the Cosă.


The current Maestro is Iason Taiwos; nine Benitians have held the office since the proclamation of the provincial Constitution.
The current Governor is [[Mic'haglh Autófil]], who is the first elected Governor of the province following the adoption of the new Belacostan Constitution and the first Provincial Council election, held as part of the [[April 2025 General Election|April 2025 general election]]. Autófil was named Governor on April 21, 2025, with the support of himself and fellow Consul [[Lüc da Schir]]. Autófil and da Schir are joined on the Provincial Council by {{bel}}'s Senator, [[Iason Taiwos]].


=== Legislature ===
===Legislature===
The legislative authority of the province is vested in the [[Legislative Chancellery]], a bicameral legislature composed of the Assembly and the Senate. MAs and Senators are collectively known as Chancellors, and may be removed from office by legislative force, in limited circumstances, upon being presented with a Writ of Impeachment pursuant to Benitian law. Both the Assembly and the Senate vote on bills, but the Maestro is elected only by the Assembly and only needs to hold the confidence of the Assembly.
The legislative authority of the province is vested in the '''Provincial Assembly''' (''l'Aßemblatx Provincial''), a unicameral legislature in which citizens are able claim a seat for the legislative term by request. The ''Governadeir'' serves as the Assembly's presiding officer.


Following the proclamation of the Constitution, the Chancellery has assembled fourteen times; the last four under the new bicameral configuration.
==Culture==
===Symbols===
The Belacostan flag features a hoist of [[wikipedia:Savoy blue|Savoy blue]] and a field of red in the fly; respectively, these colors represent "the Manaweg and the connection to both the Italian heritage of the Province's territory and the many contributions by Italian-born Belcostans to the Province's history" and "the Belacostan people and their tenacity". The two are separated by a wavy-edged white stripe, further symbolizing the riverbank from which the province takes its current name. The three stars in the red field are alternately claimed to represent either the three-member Provincial Council model of government, the three names by which the province has been known throughout its history, or the three cantons (Mazzini, Garibaldi, and [[Florencia]]) over which the province has held jurisdiction at one time or another. They are arranged so that no star is above the others (referencing the ''Governadeir'''s status as first-among-equals on the Provincial Council), and appear to point to the right as a commitment to progress and development.


==== Assembly ====
===Cjovani===
The Assembly is composed of eleven seats held by elected Members of the Assembly (MAs). The seats are apportioned using the Hare-Niemeyer (Largest Remainders) method. The Arvitieir Prima, appointed by the Maestro as a sort of Benitian Secretary of State, also serves as the Assembly's presiding officer, even if he doesn't hold a seat in the Assembly, in which case he won't be able to cast any votes.
{{:Cjovani}}
===Provincial Honours===
As per the [[Belacostan Unified Statute#Title C:Honours|Belacostan Unified Statute]], the Governadeir is entitled to enroll worthy Belacostans into the '''Order of Belacostă''', the province's only honor established by law. Previously known as the Order of Benito, the Order was created by 39LC30 and citizens were enrolled by the Maestro during that office's existence.


''The current Arvitieir Prima is Istefan Perþonest, serving since April 2016.'' (Pending assignment of seats following the [[April 2022 General Election|April 2022 general election]].
The BUS specifies that the Order is awarded in two grades or classes; the higher First Class (Commander of the Order of {{bel}}) and the lower Second Class (Officer of the Order of {{bel}}), which entitle recipients to the post-nominals C.O.Be and O.Be, respectively. Recipients, regardless of grade, are also entitled to use the title of ''Don'' (men) / ''Donna'' (women).


The current recipients of the Order of Belacostă are:

==== Senate ====
===Holidays===
The Senate is unelected and is composed by all former (national) Senators, all holders of the Order of Benito, and a number of additional appointees up to half the already seated Senators; each Senator can only hold one seat, even if he falls into more than one of the previously mentioned categories. Unlike the Assembly, the Senate instead elects its own Speaker among its own members. The current Speaker is [[Lüc da Schir]].
Under Title B of the [[Belacostan Unified Statute#Title B:Symbols|Belacostan Unified Statute]], the province observes several holidays throughout the year:
 
As the Senate is not an elected house, it's never officially dissolved, unlike the Assembly; rather, it goes into recess from the dissolution of the Assembly to the inauguration of the next one.

The Free and Sovereign Province of Belacostă (pronounced [bɛlaˈkɔstɐ]), in Talossan la Provinçù Liveradă es Soveran da Belacostă (IPA: [lɐ pɾɔvinˈsu livɛˈɾaðɐ ɛs sɔvɛˈɾan dɐ bɛlaˈkɔstɐ]), is a province of Talossa. Originally known as Mussolini, the province name was first changed to Benito following a referendum of its citizens, during which the actions of the Italian dictator were denounced. The renaming was affirmed at the national level through 38PD1, which became law on April 26, 2008. To completely divest itself of any associations with fascism, the province was renamed for a second time on July 1, 2024/XLV.[1] This second renaming introduced the current moniker of Belacostă, taken from the Talossan for "beautiful riverbank", in reference to the province's scenic position along the Manaweg. The province was granted the right to self-govern during the 39th Cosa with the proclamation of a Constitution by then-Viceré Owen Edwards; the province adopted a new Constitution in 2025.

Belacostans who reside in the U.S. State of Ohio have established the Cjovani subculture. Notable activities of this subculture include viewing Spaghetti Western films and playing bocce ball.

Geography

Map of Belacostă and its territorial subdivisions

Belacostă lies south of Atatürk (E Kenwood), west of Vuode (N Maryland and a portion of N Prospect) and north of Florencia (E North), which was initially a canton of Belacostă. It is bordered by Milwaukee River on the west.

The province is divided into two cantons: Mazzini to the north and Garibaldi to the south.

Each of the cantons is further divided into three sextieirs. The largest by population and second-largest by area (36.9 ha) is the sextieir of Riverside, the provincial capital, which contains famous landmarks such as Riverside High School (attended by many Old Growth Talossans, and the present Belacostan capitol) and King John Woolley on the Riverside Park, the largest riverside parkland area in Talossa.

Politics

Head of State

The Head of State is the Viceroy (known in other provinces as the Cunstaval or Constable). The Viceroy is appointed to a renewable term of up to three years by the King, in accordance with Organic Law, to serve as the Crown's representative to the Province. Under the Belacostan Constitution, the authority of the Viceroy is limited to powers which mimic those of the Crown at the national level. The current Viceroy is Glüc da Dhi, who was appointed by King Txec on 23 February 2025/XLVI.

Head of Government

The collective head of government in Belacostă is the known as the Provincial Council (el Cußeglh Provincial), a three-member panel elected at each general election. The three members of the Council, known as Provincial Consuls, choose from among themselves a presiding officer, the Governor (Governadeir), who fills the role of a "singular" head of government in situations that would call for it. Under the Belacostan Constitution, the Governor can issue legislative proclamations, which are similar to Prime Dictates at the national level.

To assist in their governance, the Council can appoint an indefinite number of ministers, who may be dismissed either by the Council or by the Provincial Assembly. The term of ministers ends when the Provincial Assembly is closed for business upon the dissolution of the Cosă.

The current Governor is Mic'haglh Autófil, who is the first elected Governor of the province following the adoption of the new Belacostan Constitution and the first Provincial Council election, held as part of the April 2025 general election. Autófil was named Governor on April 21, 2025, with the support of himself and fellow Consul Lüc da Schir. Autófil and da Schir are joined on the Provincial Council by Belacostă's Senator, Iason Taiwos.

Legislature

The legislative authority of the province is vested in the Provincial Assembly (l'Aßemblatx Provincial), a unicameral legislature in which citizens are able claim a seat for the legislative term by request. The Governadeir serves as the Assembly's presiding officer.

Culture

Symbols

The Belacostan flag features a hoist of Savoy blue and a field of red in the fly; respectively, these colors represent "the Manaweg and the connection to both the Italian heritage of the Province's territory and the many contributions by Italian-born Belcostans to the Province's history" and "the Belacostan people and their tenacity". The two are separated by a wavy-edged white stripe, further symbolizing the riverbank from which the province takes its current name. The three stars in the red field are alternately claimed to represent either the three-member Provincial Council model of government, the three names by which the province has been known throughout its history, or the three cantons (Mazzini, Garibaldi, and Florencia) over which the province has held jurisdiction at one time or another. They are arranged so that no star is above the others (referencing the Governadeir's status as first-among-equals on the Provincial Council), and appear to point to the right as a commitment to progress and development.

Cjovani

The Cjovani are a subculture of Talossan citizens from Belacostă who live in the United States state of Ohio. They are unusual among contemporary Talossans for the strength of their offline bonds, often engaging in activities like playing bocce ball or watching "spaghetti" western movies.

In December of 2022/XLIII, the Ziu passed a resolution honouring the Cjovani for their "distinctness and contributions of Cjovanis to both Benito and Talossa at large."[2]

Iason Taiwos and Vitxalmour Conductor are some of the foremost promoters of Cjovani culture.


Provincial Honours

As per the Belacostan Unified Statute, the Governadeir is entitled to enroll worthy Belacostans into the Order of Belacostă, the province's only honor established by law. Previously known as the Order of Benito, the Order was created by 39LC30 and citizens were enrolled by the Maestro during that office's existence.

The BUS specifies that the Order is awarded in two grades or classes; the higher First Class (Commander of the Order of Belacostă) and the lower Second Class (Officer of the Order of Belacostă), which entitle recipients to the post-nominals C.O.Be and O.Be, respectively. Recipients, regardless of grade, are also entitled to use the title of Don (men) / Donna (women).
