The Nation of Abraqas is led by a prime minister and is advised by a council of commonwealth. These are all apointed by the Monarcy that only serves as symbolic aside from chosing who would thier nation lead. This person is often chosen from the elected Ministry of Commonwealth.
The ministry of Commonwealth is the democratically elected oligarchy that over sees the nation as a whole, it is from this pool where the king or queen apoint a prime minister to represent them. In the end, the person with political power would be teh Prime Minister and the Comonwealth Ministry.
The nation had abolished the crown's official pwoers hundreds of years ago, in mteh wake up a mad king's abuse of power. It was the people who brought power back, and apointed the ministry in lieu of the contested crown back then. The crown was ceremonially brought back when the monarchy had established it self in the wake of a contested crown and has since redemeed itself.
Culture
The culture of this nation is often similar to that of the Iberian Peninsula on Earth. There is a mix of minor cultures that all combined into what is seen on Gaia as Abraqan, or Acretian. They are a spirtual people, to a point that ancestors and spirits need offerings and apeasements to bring forth good fortune in the years ahead of the living.
The people are very tolerant of outsiders however they do expect beleifs to be respected and possibly observed. All in all, respect is what is expected above all else, and if this respect is granted, then the persons shall be permitted to remain as guests and posibly residents of Abraqas.
Thier stance on beastfolk is tolerant with a sort of curiosity. As a mostly human nation, they view the beastfolk as fascinating creatures and often try to learn about them. They are not exalted in anyway, just mostly greeted with curiosity.
History
The History of the Abraqan people can be dated back to the River tribes of Acretia. Two native people had found homes on each of the two rivers in thier lkand, the Great Ley River, and the Loveland Flow. The cultures had combined once they grew and had expanded out to the coast, where they had established port cities to the rest of Gaia. Along the way there, they had discovered that thier rolling hills would be perfect for vineyard fruits, mostly grapes for wines.
As they all grew they found that more and more of the land was good for something usefull, and had established farms, ranches, and wineries along the way to the coast. These establishments only grew larger and made global renown due to how greatly they were grown and cared for.
As time went on, Abraqas had modernized and became part of the world once trade was established. More people came, thier population exploded and they had attracted foreigners and foreign investments into thier industry. Years of this prosperity, had grown them into an Emerging world power. It is speculated they will become one within the next century.

With this being a leading exporter of crops and Wines, Abraqas can be safely considered an agricultural power. Most of the hired workers are wine workers and farmers.
