The Unified Republic
Controlling the Northern portion of Veraqez, the Unified Republic is a young nation composed of the remnants of the Klavian Protectorate, Tierra Ug'eres, and the Southern Fringe. A major industrial and manufacturing powerhouse, the Republic has focused its attention on the Southern Territories, the large unexplored region occupying the majority of the continent. The hope is that these Southern Territories will prove a fruitful source of raw materials for the industries thriving in the northern portions of the continent and hopefully justify the excessive price the Republic paid to Alfan for sole ownership of this unexplored region.
The Unified Republic is founded on ideals of equality and freedom for all peoples who call its land home. As a condition of the Armistice of Larksberg, all residence of lands held by the Republic must have equal civil liberties, votes, and protections under the law. Addendum Seven of the Republic constitution specifically states, this includes all indigenous peoples of Veraqez , such as the Ur'Ghkar and the Dryad Nations, both of whom had lived in the Protectorate and Tierra Ug'eres devoid of any rights.Structure
Parliamentary Democracy consisting of four Chambers: The Chamber of Law, The Chamber of Affairs, The Chamber of Commerce
, and the High Court. Each Chamber allocates seats to governing parties based off of the percentage of the popular vote received by that party during general elections. Within each chamber, a Principle is elected from those holding office within that Chamber by their peers. The Directorate of Principles meet in order to ratify major bills and declare war, if necessary. Also, any two Principles can vote to veto a bill, policy, or ruling handed down by any one of the Chambers. Although they are elected in a similar fashion, the Principle Justice of the High Court does not sit on the Directorate of Principles and is considered to be politically neutral in matters of the Directorate.
