The Leonite Empire
The Leonite Empire is an empire founded by a band of refugees, from an unkown land known as Hellride, a war torn region in a state of never ending conflict, intrigue, and death that has no ends in sight, and thus such has been forever known as the Battleground of Gods. With it’s capital centered on the walled metropolis of Leonidro, from there, the Basileus (Emperor) and his family resides, as well as it is where the Senate gathers to be the voice of the people in the governance of the administration of the Empire.
There is no majority races within the Leonite Empire.
The Senate is comprised of 20 senators, with some political families, although if unpopular enough, or if a certain individual is popular enough, can be replaced by the vote of the people. The current senators are Alexios Ingerinus, Ionnia Psella, Theodora Duca, Leontinus Tzimiskes, Isaac Lucaenus, Lukas Diogenus, Martyrius Philoponus, Galla Lascari, Macedonius Paulakus, Kostos Georgoulis, Olympia Karalea, Spiro, Pericles, Kharope, Persis, Phrixos, Phyrrus, Isaeos, Sparticus, Eucarpia, who serve as the voices of the peoples of the state to Basileus Georgios Palaeologus.
Although the senators and Basileus don’t always see eye-to-eye, their personal schemes and plans come secondary to the functioning of the state and government.
There are a disconnect between the younger generations, who seek to reclaim their glorious birthright of their ancestors, and the older generations, who want to prevent the events that their ancestors escaped from.
Kingdom of Leuthrania
The Kingdom of Leuthrania is a kingdom in the Western side of Caalogrod.
Tsardom of Zhelrus
The Tsardom of Zhelrus is located on the Eastern side of Caalogrod. They were founded by Varangian rulers in foreign lands. Eventually the customs of both the native peoples and the Varagians merged, and assimilated into another, calling themselves the Rus.
The Zhelrus has an Absolute Monarchy, the Boyars have been made submissive by Tsar Borik Federov, with their capital in Stolitsagrad. There have been talks about moving the capital within the beurocracy, of creating a stunning capital city that’ll be sure to bring envy to foreign rulers.
By decree of Tsar Borik, Palace of Neva, renamed to Tsargorod, is to be the new Government chambers for the Monarchy, and home to the royal family. A few days after the decree, Tsar Borik was killed in a coup led by a coalition headed by the Boyars and the Peasants of Zhelrus, aided by the Cossacks and Leonites. From this, the Monarchy was destroyed, and from it’s ashes a Democratic Republic is extablished, with Fyrdinand Mallard as Dictator, extablishing the Council of Liberation, headed by Luxem, and it’s members consisting of Gek, Zi’Kual, and Vakri’, as a temporary executive and legistrative branch while the workings of the new government is sorted out. Fyrdinand’s first decree of his reign is the abolition of Serfdom within the realm, and the emancipation of all current and former serfs of the land. In his second decree, he declared that “No man, women, or creature otherwise, has the right to be barred of his, her’s, or it’s freedoms.”, outlawing the act of Slavery, and enacting the punishment of execution for the act of enslaving, or the dealing in slaves without the intent of immediately freeing them.
