Vesarnia

The Kingdom of Vesarnia (also known as Supreme County Vesarnia) is a nation in central Subtopia. Vesarnia is led by King Count Victor Falco, who is the legal dictator of the nation of Vesarnia as a count, and the legal dictator of both Vesarnia and the mostly politically-independent satellite state Velika as a king.
Known for their isolationism and cutthroat noble social hierarchy, Vesarnia is one of the few absolute monarchies in Subtopia, alongside Mallano and Ghupo.
Vesarnia lacks a standard parliamentary election system. Instead, its politicians are elected through chivalry and all laws are made to ultimately service the royal Falco Dynasty.
The secondary leader of Vesarnia - the Viscount - takes his position by challenging the current incumbent to any form of competition - the victor determined by the King. On some occasions, this includes murder. The Viscount doesn't have to be of the Falco Dynasty. The current Viscount is Gustavo Anka.
The capital city of Vesarnia is Gothic.
== History ==
Vesarnia began in the 1440s as a loose collection of families who left Adrionis and settled in the Black Valley region of central Subtopia. Eventually forming together into a kind of republic, the families were sent into a civil war with only one remaining victor at its conclusion in 1487 - the Falco Dynasty.
Through the centuries the original bloodline has been severely disrupted by periods of historical blankness, so the validity of whether or not a claimant to the throne of Vesarnia is of the same blood as the original line of Falcos is heavily disputed by historians. Many different sects and regional differences have injected themselves into the Falco Dynasty, so while the name has remained unchanged, the blood today is probably not original, though it is of the same regional population.
Vesarnia made its fortunes through pillaging villages in Subtopia, as well as trading off resources found within Vesarnia like lumber and wine to countries like Spain and Portugal.
Vesarnia has remained isolationist for the majority of its lifespan. It has rarely participated in international Subtopian events. It is so isolationist that it refuses most visits by foreign Subtopian kings, and it has rejected all forms of ambassadorial affairs and embassies.
Vesarnia is the legal holder of the Republic of Velika, which is considered a partially politically-independent state of the Vesarnian Kingdom. King Count Victor Falco is considered the ultimate ruler of Velika.
