The Congregatio river and the Congregatio-River-System, traveling from the Votumian Mountains and up the nation give a fertile prairie to the country.

## Government and Politics

The Republic of Florere was founded in on December 22nd, 1762 on the principles of the New Florian Document. It is a Federal Republic with 20 provinces and 1 territory. The New Florian Document serves as the countries moral law, establishing the structure and responsibilities of the current government, and how it treats its people. Although, it can be changed.

### Three Branches

The government is regulated by a system of checks and balances, again defined by the New Florian Document. The seat of government is the City of Arbor-Eden. However, the government is separated into three branches, Legislative, Judiciary, and Executive, where the President accompanies.

The Legislative Branch consists of the bicameral congress, made up of the Pacta and the Assembly of Citizen. The Pacta represents the provinces and is responsible for proposing and debating national legislation. Each province elects senators, and the Pacta acts as a check on executive power. In addition to the Pacta, there is a directly elected Assembly of Citizens, representing the people at large. The Assembly has the power to initiate legislation and serves as a forum for public input.

### Political Subdivisions

The Republic of Florere is divided into provinces, 20 in total, with 1 territory and 1 autonomous city. Provinces are divided for administration purposes into departments and municipalities.

Provinces hold the power that they chose not to delegate to the federal government of Florere. However, they must not contradict the New Florian Document, and cannot edit nor create their own governments. They own and manage their natural and financial resources.

Libertas Island became a territory in 1912, becoming the first and last national territory. Like the others, Libertas Island is divided into departments and municipalities.
