Oori

The Temporary Flag of Oori

## **Overview**

Oori do Narada is a nation in the northern parts of Avalor. Its capital, Sudoda, is located on an island east of the magical land it governs. A union of the refuging Kozmans and their wayfaring companions nearing Avalor, Oori is working to become a nation with unique qualities.

## **Geography**

Most of Oori do Narada's land are magical biomes with blue-colored grass and tall trees. In the middle of the biome is a large snowy mountain in which some native tribes live. Most of the nation has a high altitude, making it relatively harder to access. In fact, the nation's island-capital district Sudoda is so hard to access by climbing that many end up entering the city through bridges from the mainland.

## **Government**

### The Ggab

Also known as the Hana, the Ggab heads and represents the government of Oori do Narada. The Ggab has the power to appoint the Duri and Bongs, and create government departments. When a Bong position is vacant, the Ggab and the Duri carries out its duties. The Ggab also represents the capital region instead of a Boong.

### The Duri

The Duri works directly under the Ggab, assisting him or her in his or her duties. The Duri also represents the Sae Canum province as well as the the spirit of the nation.

### Bongs and Departments

Oori do Narada has four government departments: the Department of Urban Development, the Department of Defense, the Department of Culture, and the Department of Foreign Affairs.

Bongs also have the power to veto legislation by the Ggab if 70% reach a collective agreement and the Duri if 50%.
