Veüenía

### Information

The Kingdom of Veuenia is a union of 6 states located on a series of islands northwest of eastern civilization, bordering Bosterland to the west. Veuenia is one of the 4 main belt countries, and is the largest of the four. Its climate is primarily temperate and cold, with large swaths of farmland, rolling hills, and verdant forest. The North often freezes over during Interregnums, while the southern states only occasionally get snow. The region is primarily known for its disunified-reunified history, with multiple states rising to dominate the main island and even others before falling. This was until recently, when the 5 remaining states formed the Union of Veuenia, before finally unifying into a Kingdom and later incorporating the island of Livea in the northeast.

## Veuenian Government

### Executive Government

  Where before there was a united executive council, after the 1840 Revolution, this has been replaced by 2 separate councils. These are the Meveii Council(Mevestavf), and the Governor Council(Zarichten). The Mevestavf serve as advisors to the Queen, and also have representatives in the 6 states. The Meveii are a series of 11 separate ministries which send representatives that become the Mevestavf, they are:

 Meveii of external affairs
 Meveii of Veysteyr(Defence)
 Meveii of Infrastructure
 Meveii of Finance
 Meveii of Health and Social Welfare

The Zarichten on the other hand are comprised of the 6 Governors of the Veuenian States. Where before there was a head Governor as well, the position was abolished after the attempted coup against King Auzich III in 1840. It was then re-established as Prime Minister during the Great Issue of 1868 under Queen Marea I.

### Legislative Government

  The Legislative side of Government is composed of the Governor Council(Zarichten), the House of Lords(Addenstavfen), and the Governing Assembly(Veystavf).

The governor Council is a collection of the 6 State governors(Zarich) in Veuenia, each elected by their respective state parliaments(Eudenstavf) and approved by the Monarch. They hold considerable power in their state and manage day-to-day affairs, advising the queen on various matters of the state. The Governing Assembly is a gathering of representatives from the various states and dominions, comprising the lower house. They are elected via a first-past-the-post system. They are primarily who create bills, and have seen an increase in power after 1889 with the Reform Bill.

The upper house, or the House of Lords(Addenstavfen), reviews bills passed from the Veystavf and has the power to block them if needed. They are comprised of a few dozen individuals who are appointed by the Monarch from the noble families of the Veuenian Aristocracy, as well as some representatives from Veuenia's religious authority.

### Judicial Government

  The Judicial Government is composed of the Mevelíer of Law(the representative of the Judicial Government in the Mevestavf), the Vanyrai, or the Supreme council, and the state justice councils, or the Sevyrai. The Vanyrai is a council of 7 wise men who are picked by the Governing assembly and the Monarch to preside and interpret the law, one of them becoming the Mevelíer, or head justice. The Sevyrai are state councils which have a similar task but preside over the state laws.

### Monarchy

Though Veuenia is a constitutional monarchy, the Monarchy still holds considerable power, and alongside the Prime Minister lead the country as a whole. The Monarchy overall serves the purpose of maintaining stability and continuity, as well as informing change and making decisions as head of state on occasion.

### Administrative Divisions

The Kingdom is separated into 6 states, who have their own state parliaments and autonomy under the national Government. Below them are regions, which usually have less than a dozen municipalities under them. After this there are parishes. These are interchangeable with Administrative Districts, which are used for towns and cities. Each Region has its own separate council made of multiple representatives from the municipalities, and each municipality sends representatives to the state's Eudenstavfen.

Dominions are used for state-level overseas territories, and have their own government similar to states. They have their own Ildenestavfen and Viceroy Governor, and send representatives to the Veystavf in Kaena. Sovereign Dominions on the other hand are much more autonomous and the only case of such (Esriegano) has its own royal family.
