[quote=@Iluvatar] Dunno if this should be in the Characters tab until it is accepted (or not) , so I'll put it here for now. This is still WIP, I will finish it later once I have some work sorted out :) [b]Nations Name:[/b] The Unified Realm of Albia and Terosa/The Albian Empire (a.k.a Albia, Unified Realm, Albia and Terosa) [b]Flag:[/b] [hider=My Flag of the Unified Realm] [img]http://i58.tinypic.com/v4nqtw.png[/img] [/hider] [b]Form of Government:[/b] Federal Parliamentary Democracy, Constitutional Oligarchy, Colonial Empire, Thalassocracy Describe the System: Albia and Terosa are run by two separate parliaments but are unified as one Realm under the Oligarchy. The Albian parliament is centred in the overall capital of the Albian Empire, Kyvern, while the Terosan parliament is seated in Defteros, capital only of Terosa. The two Supreme Princes of the Oligarchy, elected from within their number, by their own number, form a Diarchy and are joint heads of state. One must always be Albian, and the other Terosan. The Albian head of government is the Chancellor, elected directly by the general public in the Chancellorship Election every 5 years. Chancellors may run for a maximum of 5 terms, though this is a rare occurrence. The Albian Chancellor serves as the spokesperson for the entire Albian Empire, but Terosa and the colonies that have been granted Provincial status all have their own Chancellors. Said Provinces are colonies of the Unified Realm that have high degrees of autonomy, but are forced to have the same foreign policy and are all integrated into the Imperial Albian Preferential Trading System. Also in the system are the lesser colonial holdings of the Unified Realm, simply colonies, that are each governed by a Colonial Delegation under the control of Kyvern. [b]Location on Map Desired:[/b] [hider=Albian Empire] [img]http://i62.tinypic.com/e020rb.png[/img] [/hider] [b]Capital:[/b] Kyvern, on the southern coast of the small island in the large inlet on the Albian mainland. [b]Other Important Settlements:[/b] - Defteros, capital of Terosa. Situated on the east coast of the largest island of the Terosan archipelago. - Macra, capital of the Province of Makria. Situated at the westernmost point of the inlet of the largest Makrian island. - Ryza, capital of the Province of Pollo. Situated at the westernmost point of the largest Pollon island. - Epipa, capital of the Province of Tinea. Situated on the Tinean mainland, on the coast of the channel between the landmass and the medium-sized island close to shore (it should be fairly obvious). [b]Description:[/b] Albia was one of the earlier nations to industrialise, so many factories dot much of the urban landscapes. The cities are old and not best designed for the more modern modes of transport, but adaptions are being made to accommodate the rapidly progressing technology. Railways are now commonplace and automobiles are becoming more popular, but horse-drawn carts and other traditional technologies and industries are still to be found in both large cities and elsewhere. Agriculture and animal husbandry are declining in much of Albia and Terosa due to imports from the provinces and colonies, but new industries are growing exponentially. The iron and coal deposits to be found on the Albian and Terosan archipelagos have fueled the iron and steel industry, locomotive manufacture and, importantly, shipbuilding. Shipbuilding is the new major employer of the Unified Realm, producing en masse primitive sloops, cruisers, and battleships, amongst others. In addition, research into the feasibility of using newly-invented aircraft (not of Albian origin) for military and commercial purposes is underway. Designs for strange, rolling metal vehicles with artillery mounted on their roofs to be used on warfare are on the drawing board, but no real need is seen for them as Albia is an archipelago of islands.

[s]I know there is a certain Brit who needs a group of isles[/s] Edit:Nevermind, he found a set he wanted.
