Parliamentary Republic of Elektrenai
1st of Sun's Swell, AE 721
The Parliamentary Republic of Elektrenai is a sovereign nation in northdawnward Phicen. Other than the island nation of the Maldock Trading Company, it has the smallest landborders shared with another nation, with much of the country surrounded by the Sea of Salder and the Trennant Ocean. It is the tenth largest country in the world by land area with roughly 3 million square miles of land, and the fifth by population with 18.9 million people.
Voting System
The Elektran Parliament is elected through an open party-list proportional representation system. Voters are given five preference votes, and any candidates who wouldn't have ordinarily been high enough on their list to earn a seat but did receive equal or greater than 10% of preference votes from within their party, will take the place of the lowest ranking member(s) on the list who would have otherwise earned a seat.Territories
The Elektren territory is situated at the end of an peninsula, leaving it surrounded almost entirely by water. Its only land borders are with Ahknei, extending for approximately 720 miles, consisting of a narrow isthmus and a small enclave, both at the northern edge of their territory.
Religion
The area which Elektrenai now occupies has exhibited a long history of reverence for nature deities. The Virag Archway and other archaeological discoveries have made it the nation with the highest concentration of artifacts relating to nature deities, and their current following of the Arcadian Ascendency may one day further contribute.
The Arcadian Ascendency rose to power alongside Annemie Woudman in AE 701 and has become a driving force behind Elektrenai's expansionism. Its missionaries frequently cross into Ahknei, establishing themselves along both the north and southern coastlines.
Since becoming the official state religion in AE 703, it has led to a number of crackdowns on other faiths, not outright criminalizing them, but encouraging what some believe to be targeted, fastidious building inspections, audits, and fines.
