Lanatian Kingdoms

Lanatia is unique in its subdivision system. Instead of using counties or provinces like the other districts, Lanatia uses a system of Kingdoms. The system was first established during the Aldorrian Independence period. The Kingdoms are a staple of Lanatian culture, and all attempts to change them have been met with harsh resistance. The Vooperian Government ultimately opted to take a hands-off approach when it came to Lanatian culture, and citizens of Lanatia are proud of their unique heritage.

## The Hall of Kings

The Hall of Kings is Lanatia's form of parliament. Each Kingdom has a King to lead and represent its people. The Kings go to the Hall to propose, discuss, and vote on legislation for the District. The High King and Senator ultimately have authority over the Hall of Kings, but this authority is rarely used.

The HoK was created a few decades after the reintegration of Lanatia, in 2162. The system was the first introduction of true democracy in Lanatia, and was introduced by Senator-High King Allegate. However, the HoK could also just as easily be removed by the High King of Lanatia up until 2315, when Allegate removed his power. This had never been done in the history of the district.

## The Kingdoms

### New Allegatia

The first Kingdom to be established was New Allegatia. Arguably the most un-creative name for a Kingdom, it was founded by Allegate himself. Allegate holds the title of King of New Allegatia, while also being the High King and Senator of the district as a whole.

New Allegatia is situated in a flat, densely-forested peninsula in the Northwestern tip of the island. The very tip of the peninsula is a frozen tundra, dotted with large anti-ship railguns along the coast. The largest city is Aldgate, on the Western coast.

### Logia

Logia is the second-largest Kingdom in terms of land area. It takes up an area from the Northern coast to the Southern coast. Despite its size, Logia is the most sparsely populated Kingdom. The most notable part of Logia is the city of Kanata, which has a large autonomy movement. Kanata is also the most populated city in Logia, which makes politics there unstable.

Logia is primarily forests, with a small mountain range separated from the main range. The Kingdom is led by King Login.

### Kikoro

Originally called Lemongrad, Kikoro is the largest Kingdom in Lanatia. Like Logia, it spans from the Northern coast of the island to the Southern coast. Unlike Logia, it crosses through the widest portion of the island and is separated into North and South halves by a mountain range. Kikoro is the most industrialized Kingdom, and produces much of Lanatia's industrial goods. Its main export is furniture.

Kikoro is currently led by King NinjaPig.

### Kingsland

Kingsland is the agricultural heart of Lanatia. The Kingdom is full of rivers from the mountain range in Kikoro, and is almost entirely flat plains. Approximately 60% of all land in the Kingdom is used for farming. Some of the farms are classic farms on the ground, while nearer to the cities giant hydroponic towers take up the available land. The Kingdom is also the most populated area in the district, but its large area means the population density is not comparable to that of Shintoku or San Melonia.

Kingsland is currently led by King Geff. Kingsland is allied with the Kingdom of Fevincia, due to Geff's marriage with Delilah
and the Central Aldorrian Treaty Alliance.

### Fevincia

The Kingdom with the strangest but most-liked culture, Fevincia is a "land of femboys". While the Kingdom's original name has been lost to history, the current name was chosen when Delilah became the Queen. The Kingdom soon attracted many who identified as a femboy, and became the first Kingdom to establish a Femboy Hooters location.

Fevincia is in a strange position geographically. To the north, their border with Kingsland is formed by a mountain range and a river. They control almost all of the Southern peninsula, except for the very tip. Fevincia makes little use of its ports, and the mountains to the North prevent any land crossing there unless via high speed rail. Fevincia is self sufficient in terms of goods, opting to manufacture and grow everything themselves instead of relying on San Melonia for goods. Also having a small connection with Kikoro to the West, and an alliance with their neighbor to the north, Kingsland (in the form of the Central Aldorrian Treaty Alliance).

Aside from the femininity of the population, the Kingdom is most well-known for its popular internet celebrities and vivacious variety of tourism. Being the Kingdom with the highest population of Nekos, many (lonely) viewers from mainland Vooperia tune in to their favorite streamers.

### San Meloñia

The largest trading hub on the island, San Meloñia is the second most densely populated Kingdom. The largest city is San Sandía, which also happens to be the largest port. San Sandía is the largest city in Lanatia, larger than even the capital. The port there imports massive amounts of goods and resources, mostly from San Vooperisco and New Vooperis. The shape of the San Melonian peninsula protects the sea there from most storms, making it a perfect natural harbor.

San Meloñia is currently led by King Unusederas. He was also the head writer and owner of The Folk Times until it's dissolution in 2350, started in 2315, it was widely considered the most popular newspaper in Lanatia, and during the 2330s was the most prominent newspaper in Vooperia.

### Aldorria

Aldorria is the most mysterious Kingdom. Led by Queen Lexa, little information is let out. A large portion of the Eastern coast of the Aldorrian peninsula is a thick swamp, making any attempts to build a port there useless. The large swamp also makes Aldorria the least populated Kingdom in Lanatia. The Aldorrian peninsula completes the other side of the large natural harbor in the area.

### Scarlettesia

Originally called Tyco Town, Scarlettesia got its name when Scarlett became High Queen of Lanatia. She was given the Kingdom which previously did not have a ruler. As Tyco had abandoned the district, Scarlett renamed it after herself. The North of the Kingdom is an icy tundra, and the South is mostly forest. Scarlettesian architecture shows heavy Japanese influence, with traditional-style palaces but also large high-tech skyscrapers in the cities. The High Queen's main palace is in her home of Scarlettesia.

### Vaicosia

Vaicosia is the home of the Melon Church. Led by King Vaicos, former Pope of Melonism, Vaicosia displays old central European architecture. Most towns and cities in Vaicosia look similar to old Oxford in the British Isles. Like Scarlettesia, the North of Vaicosia is a tundra. However, Vaicosia does not have the luxury of more land further South, and so most citizens there have grown accustomed to the cold. Vaicosia has few ports due to the rocky cliffs along its coast.

Vaicosia is also the origin of the Holy Melon, and it can be seen in a display in the Melon Cathedral.

### Shintoku

The second-largest city and the capital of Lanatia, Shintoku is the seat of the District Government. It is the most densely populated Kingdom in Lanatia, with over 20 million citizens in the main city alone. At the center of the city is a tall hill with the large palace complex at the top. Situated there is the Senator's Palace, the High King's Palace, the second High Queen's Palace, the Chief General's Palace, the two palaces of the Princesses, the palace for Geff and Delilah, the Guest Palace, and the mansions for those who work at the palaces.

## Overseas Territories

### Eikō City

As part of the compensation for the sinking of a San Melonian patrol vessel, Icelesia was forced to transfer a port city to Lanatia. The port and city were originally called *Afferti* but were renamed to *Eikō City* and *Hiiro no Minato*. The treaty port is currently under the administration of the High Queen, as part of a gift given to her by the High King.

Icelesia has demanded the port back several times since the end of their civil war, but the port remains firmly under Lanatian control. As of March 8th 2022, the current King is Green.
