[b]Nation description (at least a paragraph, please):[/b] Suavia, as is one the few extremely illiberal Nordanian states, being a 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. This and excursions by the Sjealandian pagans have left a particularly insular and xenophobic Nordic influenced Anglish culture dominant. 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.

[u]Politics[/u]:
It is politically de jure constitutional executive monarchy with 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, with the exception of 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 King and Grand Protector) 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 Grand Protector, 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 Grand President more or less serves as a Constitutional Dictator, and has considerable legal powers to act in his own manner.

The current Highking, Athelwulf-Edric XIII, is currently 46, after having his ambitious and liberally inclined nephew Harold VIII abdicating from the throne due to clashing with the current Grand Protector of the Realm Ordwulf Drake, who has served for 27 years now. Drake is the 7th Grand Protector of the Newyoke, being considered a major economic liberaliser and cultural traditionalist much to hardliners 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 rigourous 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 maneuver 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 Grand Protector.

The Folkrike (People’s 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 Grand Protector 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, 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 fulfill the needs of the population
