[center][b]WIP[/b][/center] --- [This is where your flag will be] [center][b][u]The Free City of Goug[/u][/b][/center] --- [center][b][u]Nation's History[/u][/b][/center] --- [center][b][u]Form of Government[/u][/b] Elective Aristocracy [b][u]Political Status[/u][/b] Stable [b][u]Political Overview[/u][/b] [u][i]The Council of Meisters[/i][/u] The Council of Meisters are the ones who make decisions in Goug, consisting of the Meister of each official Guild as well as one special rank, which goes by one of several different names depending on who holds the position. This position is most commonly referred to as the Mayor, and they are a Moogle who has been elected to devote their life to the benefit of Goug and Mooglekind as a whole. Their most important duties on the Council, among several others, is to moderate the decisions of the Council, to elect Honourary Meisters from the people of Goug, to oversee the development, administration and maintenance of the City of Goug, and finally to command the enlistment and deployment of the Moogle Armed Forces in times of emergency or when an enemy shows itself that has been unanimously determined to be an irreparable threat to the safety of Mooglekind. The position of Mayor is one that comes with a great deal of responsibility and stress, but it is commonly also the most revered position any individual Moogle can have next to Legendary Meister. It is, however, not the only name for the position that exists, and shares all of its power and reverence with several other titles that can be used in its place depending on the circumstances. A Mayor who shows a great deal of expertise in at least three fields represented by an official guild may be called [i]"Grand Meister"[/i], with the approval of the Guild Meisters who govern those particular fields. Conversely, a [i]"People's Meister"[/i], is a Mayor elected from a position outside of the Council of Meisters. The extremely rare [i]"Meister of Arms"[/i] is a Mayor who reached their position due to their status as a War Hero, a feat that has only occurred once since the founding of Goug. Honourary Meisters are individuals who have been placed on the Council of Meisters due to personal merits or popular opinion, appointed to that position by the Mayor. These individuals are Meisters in name only, but are allowed to contribute to Council meetings like any other. To become an Honourary Meister, even for a short amount of time, is a great honour. It does not, however, convey nearly the same amount of respect as being a true Meister, as Honourary Meisters often possess occupations that are "Un-Mooglelike". [u][i]Outside of Goug[/i][/u] Moogles tend not to interact with other races beyond what is polite and necessary, and always take a very neutral standing on the affairs of others. Because they rarely get themselves involved in conflicts, they hold a healthy trading relationship with virtually every hospitable nation in the land, exchanging some of their lesser craftsmanship for necessities such as food and raw materials. Explorers from the Explorer's Guild are the rare exception to the Moogle's seclusion, often heading out on sprawling journeys across the land in search of treasure and adventure. They are a welcome sight in many a foreign city or town, as they are commonly helpful, pleasant folk who will help with all sorts of tasks in exchange for the supplies necessary to continue their journey.

While not especially strong or sturdy, their kind excels at feats of dexterity, intellect and precision. They set themselves apart from other races with their incredible knack for tinkering, which has allowed them to evolve into a flourishing trading nation in recent times. They are, in fact, able to fly under their own power...just not all that high, or quick. They have no love of water, and will not venture into even the shallowest of pools, even in scenarios of life-and-death. Their industriousness, creativity and learning ability make them exceptional at pretty much every sort of skill, so long as they are allowed to practise and learn it. Moogles prefer to live separated from other races, with the large majority of their species living in Goug and its supporting communities.[/center] --- [center][b][u]Army Overview[/u][/b] [b][u]Navy Overview[/u][/b] [b][u]Air Force Overview[/u][/b][/center] --- [center][b][u]Nation's Location[/u][/b] [b][u]Nation's Geography[/u][/b][/center] --- [center][b][u]Economy Overview[/u][/b][/center] ---
