Alvara (AL-VAR-AH)

A frigid and vast country to the south of the disc, Alvara is well known for it's military might, engineering prowess, and enduring people.

Structure

Alvara is meritocracy emerging from a dictatorship. The current Kaiser's grandfather was the last dictator of Alavara, passing away during an attempted occupation of Neravia. The current government is considered a radical experimentation, in that leadership is voted on by the Noble Council, not inherited. 

Kaiser

The role of the Kaiser is to lead the country. The Kaiser fulfills the traditional role of military leader, while also being the symbolic Head of State. This person will be the head of the armed forces, controlled foreign policy, and appoints the Chancellor. 

Chancellor

The Chancellor is in charge of the government, creating and passing new laws, and has authority over the Noble Council. 

Noble Council

A group of 68 Nobles from the different provinces and territories inside Alvara. Each Noble is elected into his position every six years, though many of these titles might as well be inherited with how readily they pass from father to son. It is the job of the Nobel Council to introduce laws for the Chancellor to review with his advisors and pass to the Common Council. 

Common Council

The Common Council is made up of 407 deputies, each of them educated in Alvaran Law and Policy. The Common Council may vote on what laws get passed after they are introduced by the Noble Council, but they do not get to vote for the Kaiser. Each member of the Common Council serves one of the members of the Noble Council as a territory or province leader. Several of these members are counts, margraves, barons, and other landed lords of Alvara.

Culture

You can see there might be times when, to secure the greater good, you have to take a backwards step. That is a matter of tactics. - Ken Loach

Alvara's culture is extremely paramilitary based. Everyone is expected to sacrifice for their country and for the greater good. This makes sense to the people there, as the lands are quite unforgiving and the winters, which last for months, are very harsh. It's not unheard of for the sick or elderly to euthinize themselves so that their children and grandchildren might survive better in the brutal rural tundra's.
