Kingdom of Evrand
Government
The Kingdom of Evrand is a monarchy but the head of state does not have absolute power. Similar to how Black Crystal is run, the head of state sits on a council made of representatives from the different cities and towns. The head of state has a stronger sway than the rest of the members. System of Laws Since a majority of the kingdom is rural agriculture, most of the laws revolve around crop quality and control. The two major cities have a stricter set of laws that have more to do with citizen conduct, theft, and property rights. Government Philosophy The needs of the people are more important than the needs of an individual. Every year farmers choose new representatives among their towns or villages to serve on the council. Considering the needs of the community above any personal ambitions is very important to these members. Any display of wealth or personal gain is frowned upon. Members must lead a simple life of service.History
The kingdom is fairly new in the grand scheme of things but still old enough to be stable and established. It sits on land that was once covered by the Forest of the Long Lived and so it contains ancient elven cities. The capital, Black Crystal, was built, as far as anyone can tell, by ancient humans.
Demography and Population
The kingdom has a total population of about 150,000 people. A majority of the population is human, the kingdom has become a magnet for many other races.
Territories
The kingdom is bound in the north by the Forest of the Long Lived and in the south by Lake Melidon. Nations boarder the kingdom on both the east and west.
Military
The kingdom retains a small military, maintained by their fighters guild. Non-military members of the fighters guild are easily recruited if greater conflict arises.
