Southern Fromatian Hegemony

Structure

Constitution

The Hegemony was founded at the end of the Southern Fromatian Republic and at the wake of the Northern PRF's dissolution. The Writ of Rock, Wood, and Gold formed the oligarchical alliance between Mulath the Eternal, The Copper Claw clan, and the Golden Sickle Company. The Writ aimed to establish the three powers to prevent a power vacuum after the violent end to the Southern Fromatian Republic. Each power in the region maintained independence from the others but formed mainly a free trade and assistance agreement similar to the relationship with the Northern and Southern PRFs before the Civil War.

Rulers

The Hegemony is led by a tripartite council consisting of Mulath the Eternal, representing the mystical and ancient powers with technological expertise; the leader of the Copper Claw clan, symbolizing military might and tradition; and the CEO of the Golden Sickle Company, embodying commerce and economic prosperity. Each leader brings their expertise and governance style to the council, ensuring a balanced rule covering all societal aspects. While they govern their respective domains autonomously, crucial decisions affecting the entire Hegemony are made collectively, emphasizing unity and cooperation.

Operations

The day-to-day operations of The Hegemony are managed through a complex system of administrative bodies, each responsible for specific governance aspects. The Treasury, overseen by the Golden Sickle Company, handles tax collection and financial policies. The Copper Claw clan manages defense and law enforcement, ensuring the security of the Hegemony's territories. Mulath provides the hegemony with advancements in Necram technology, like Necram furnaces and run forges. Public services, including infrastructure and civic management, are jointly administered by representatives from all three powers. This cooperative model ensures efficient governance, with each sector leveraging its strengths for the collective good.

Welfare

Social services are robust, offering support for the needy and vulnerable. The Golden Sickle Company's involvement ensures that healthcare and education are prioritized, with investments in hospitals, schools, and universities. Environmental stewardship is a shared responsibility, with the Copper Claw clan often leading conservation efforts to protect natural resources. Mulath provides materials for infrastructure, like stone, iron, etc, to replace the need for wood in a region with little to no tectonic activity. These initiatives demonstrate The Hegemony's commitment to nurturing a healthy, educated, and sustainable society.

Negotiations

In foreign affairs, The Hegemony adopts a pragmatic and strategic approach. Its foundation on free trade and mutual assistance has paved the way for a robust network of treaties and trade agreements. The council works closely to foster alliances, using diplomacy to navigate the region's complex geopolitics.

The ultimate goal is to secure a stable and prosperous position within the international community, promoting trade and cooperation while safeguarding sovereignty.
