South Vastallos

The Federation of South Vastallos was a country in the subcontinent of Vastallos (Alteniquia). It was divided in two states (three if counting its vassal Carvay): Dracade and Asturcia. With Carvay as a vassal, South Vastallos was one of the powers of the region.
==Government==
The Federation used to be an indirect democracy ruled by 3 Consules, one per state. This is because the Consules are elected among and by the Proconsules, two governors per state of the South Vastallos. The people, the Capites, are the ones electing the Proconsules and they did it every two months in a single nation-wide election which also included Carvay, the vassal nation that was a de facto state of the Federation.
The role of the Consules was to take care of national issues and to estabilish and mantain foreign relations. They were also the highest authority. 
The Proconsules held consultative power in everything that regarded the Consules' duties, but they were the governors of the states that made up the federation: their role was to live at close contact with the Capites of their respective state (outside of it they are simple citizens) and to organize it while the Consules were busy.
The Federation also had the Highest Court, which was made by 3 judges with a certified and South Vastallos recognized law degree (just a google form, not an actual one). These judges COULDN'T hold any government position during their mandate as judge.
==Geography==
The Federation of South Vastallos was located in Alteniquia, a few thousand blocks west from the center of the world. It bordered Knossos, Vrolgar and Carvay to the north (also Astana if we consider Carvay part of the territory), while to the south it had no borders apart from the maritime ones wich were shared with Sanctum, Astyllea, Kush and Carvinia.
===Dracade===
Dracade's territory is not giant, but it's fertile: the presence of Mount Clio to the very southwest offers great protection against invasions while the Stensta Plains to the east are a precious natural resource for new cities or projects. The Capital of the state is Dragospiro (located on and near Mount Clio) and it used to be the most populous town in Vastallos, there's also Dragolitore which is a brand new WIP city. To the south there is a peninsula which delimits the Maiden Bay, home to the continent's biggest harbor and an essential link to the Mare Caprichosa: the Maiden Bay Port.
===Asturcia===
Asturcia was the bigger of the two states with a lot of unused territory to be used: with the Mennzsag highlands and the Vastallosi Plains, Asturcia is a jewel for what regards natural characteristics. Though, some cities already know this such as the city of Albertia, the biggest non-capital town of the Federation, or Broria, an old squatter city with an already made infrastructure which is only waiting to be revived. Asturcia's capital is Asturcia City, a big town with a n extensive pier running along the coast and facing south.
==Culture==
The two constituent states had similar cultures and languages, in fact this was a major factor in favour of the formation of the Federation as both populations were extremely similar in attitude, lifestyle and goals.
===Dracadian Culture===
Dracadian culture has been massively influenced by Carvay: almost nothing of the old cultures such as the Ducks remains and they hae been replaced by Asturcian and Carvaian languages, while other aspects of Dracadian culture come from the natives, people that lived on Mount Clio after the Cluckonic Order and before the foundation of Dracade as a carvaian state.
The people of Dracade are exceptional builders and love vibing just as their old leader Andre Ramo taught them, in fact they've focused on building Dragospiro with their peculiar and distinctive style: viking structures with dark pitched roofs and red walls which give the city a vibrant and magical feeling.
===Asturcian Culture===
Asturcian culture itself was one of the oldest in Vastallos, going back hundreds of years in the past. It primarily has its origin in the original Asturcian peoples migrating into Southern Vastallos. Much of Asturcian culture ended up influencing many of its bordering regions. It's original language had also spread throughout the southern regions of Vastallos and had influenced those local languages as well.
Asturcians, themselves, though sparsely populated throughout the country are primarily found living in dense urban centers. Much of their housing is densely pact the capital, Asturcia City itself is split between the old city and the new city. The former being larger housing fit for few people and had been constructed during the days of the Asturcian Empire. The latter had been constructed around the time of its independence from Carvay, and was far smaller, but gives more people a place to live.
==History==
The Federation formed in mid December 2021 as both Dracade and Asturcia felt the need to strenghten themselves by merging, making for a larger state with more potential and in hopes of a prosperous Southern Vastallos, a region that had been always overlooked.
===Post-Merging period===
A week after having founded the Federation, and after the stepping down of Landy, the South Vastallosi Constitution was released during the initiation of Tiemen as new Consul of Dracade.
