Nation description (at least a paragraph, please): Suavia, as is one the few extremely illiberal states, being a Quasi-Federal Empire which has historically served as one of the more fractured regions of the continent, being geographically open to invasion and raiding from the south.  Within it however there are distinct tribal groups which still possess a great influence within society, and while conflict between the traditional rural aristocracy and National Populist Folkblootists continues.

Politics:
It is politically de jure constitutional executive monarchy with a sexacameral parliament, with the appointed Grand Council as the highest authority, and five lesser estates: the House of Workers, the House of the Military, the House of Minds, the House of Industry and Trade, and the House of the State. Each house is made up of 25 members, except for the National Council which has 15. Requirements to hold office in any of the Houses requires that one may pass Ideological Testing and either has 10 years of military service or 10 years of service to the state. The Grand Council is made from representatives of the 7 Kingdoms and 6 from the Duchies of the Realm, and as well as drafting, reviewing and approving of legislation (duties shared with the Highking and Great Warden) they also serve as overseers of the Houses of Parliament. The Highking wields considerable authority and retains powers such as the right to rule by decree and to dissolve the Houses of parliament. The Great Warden, is also able to rule by decree and often does so in the monarch's name, however, is ultimately subservient to his or her powers. The Great Warden serves as a Constitutional Dictator with nearly unlimited powers but still accountable to parliament, the Grand Council and the monarch.

The current Highking, Edric-Athelwulf XIII, is currently 46, after having his ambitious and liberally inclined nephew Harold VIII abdicating from the throne due to clashing with the current Great Warden of the Realm Ordwulf Drake, who has served for 17 years now. Drake is the 7th Great Warden of the Newrike, being considered a major economic liberaliser and cultural traditionalist much to hard-liners displeasure and is the first member of the aristocracy to serve in the role, being considered a traitor by many of his older peers. He is an especially industrious and diligent character this being evidenced by his having read History at the esteemed University of Warford and his rigorous reforms of the military, and economic functions of society, despite considerable opposition. His covert ousting of the previous Highking with the Orkcreft Scandal (a particularly deadly cocktail of affairs, drugs and corruption), has enabled him to manoeuvre his good friend and political ally Athelwulf-Edric into the position. The Highking himself is of a reactionary character, being widely considered insufferable in personal interactions and an expert at utilizing the constitutional system of Suavia. His grating and stubborn personality has formed an additional layer of constraints, which further cement the power of the Great Warden.

The Newrike (literally New Realm), is a regime based around and founded on the ideology of Folkbloot (𐐙𐐲𐑊𐐿𐐺𐑊𐐬𐐻), literally meaning “National or People Sacrifice” it was formulated by the eventually by the Great Warden E.E (Edgar Edwin) Kingharth and his long time accomplice Frederik Hunt, in the 1890s as a non-syndicalist solution to the monopolistic domination of industrialists and aristocrats in the government, whose dualistic and antagonistic relationship became increasingly insular and self-focused, ignoring the pressures brought on by the increasingly industrial character of the country. Folkbloot as an ideology is against democracy, capitalism, socialism, aristocracy, and takes an ultranationalist, totalitarian, clericalist, ethnocentric, militaristic and monarchist character. It desired major land and wealth redistribution so that unused land can be utilised productively, the restoration of the church to prominence, the creation of a corporate state which would bind together all elements of society into a single “machine” which could end systematic problems and the end of what was remarked as a“failed experiment in plutocracy”.

In 1910, a military coup occurred after the parliament failed to reform due to disagreements over leadership — a power vacuum being created by several assassinations on the incumbent Lord Chancellor and his Secretaries. Led by General Ernst Gregor Godwin, who quickly formed a provisional government known as the Transitory Directorate. Ernst’s intentions were to create a regime which fulfil the needs of the population and to prevent revolution. He then with the permission of Highking Edric-Athelwulf X who requested that the then Professor E.E Kingharth be investigated as a possible Lord Chancellor. Kingharth had become an increasingly popular, with his pamphlets, proposals and other such solutions being presented to the population. Thusly he was appointed Lord Chancellor and by using the Royal prerogative to reform the Highrichdom and nature of the parliament. Thusly Kingharth utilised his opportunity to spell an end to democracy and created the Newrike.

Today the Newrike’s powers are considerable with the Great Warden being vested in him considerable executive and legislative powers. Drake is a well-esteemed character in Suavian politics, taking on a calm demeanour and a grandfatherly persona. Socially Suavia is very restrictive, with clerical morality controls being enforced through a digital panopticon which is increasingly a large presence in the life of Suavians.

Economy
The Suavian economy is increasingly liberalised after a period of considerable corporatist control in which the economy began to stagnate. Low taxes, and low regulations have sparked a recent boom in the economy. It is also a gas-oil petro-state, with ample natural oil and natural gas supplies which it uses to influence oil prices. Despite this several distributist economic measures remain in place, such as workers' self-management committees and profit participation partnerships were to function in public and private enterprises. Property and housing is also regulated so that property prices remain low and is dispersed.
