The United Republic of Utopia

The United Republic of Utopia is a Democratic, Presidential, Republic formed from the previous Nation of Utopia. The Nation of Utopia Bluffs was formed in 1484 (Year 0 in the Drakonian Calendar), and ruled over by Lord King Drake Scorpier, when he landed on the island as an early settler and claimed rule of the land. The fact there were native Githyanki and Githzerai was no bother to Drake in any capacity.

Drake sealed his fate in 1489 when he attempted to bring forth a horde of planar creatures called the Xith, precursers to the Gith race. While the horde of beasts were eventually pushed back, Drake was killed as a consequence.

After much deliberation, several decades of internal repair, and much debate, a council of existing leaders and figures of influence met in 1519 and penned the first constitution and reformed the island as a United Republic of Utopia (URU). Leaders gave up titles, in most cases, and reformed as Patricians and Representatives., and divided the land up into states, adjusting borders in some capacities. From these Patricians and Representatives, they among their number would nominate, and vote for, a single Leader who would reside as President of the URU for Four years (A Term), and serving for no more than two terms. This President would have official power but would be utterly beholdent to the Patricians and Representatives, though most of all to the people.

Since this time, the URU has come from strength to strength, even healing old wounds with the likes of the Native Gith, and finding peace with the once held barbaric goblins and orcs of the Western Utopia. Technology has begun to advance, though mostly through great trial and error, and efforts have been made to unite the four corners of the URU in a greater capacity in terms of transportation.
