## Supreme Entity, Vondunke

The highest Government body of the Vondunke is the **Supreme Council**. The Council is comprised of a delegation sent from each of the Vondunke's many regional governments called **Federates**. Each delegation has two voting members who's voting powers are determined by an equation based on popular vote and approval rating. The remaining members of the delegation assist with bureaucracy and other such matters as coffee runs. In addition to comprising the Legislative branch and final Judicial authority of the state, the Council also appoints **Directors** and other officers to the **Supreme Directory** which acts as the Executive and Administrative branches. That being said all matters of government flow downstream from the Supreme Council.

The Judicial Hierarchy within the Council is based off of seniority, then Federate of origin as larger and older federates tend to be much more competitive races.

However the Council is still bound by the Çŧrioφϑov (Stryoph-thov) Contract, a digital treaty outlining several limitations and complex regulations on the Council which is immutable except by a supermajority agreement of the signatory Federates. Which expand with the creation of each new Federate. A similar government style is mimicked largely by each Federates especially the ones created after the establishment of the current State.

The Legal system which dominates the lower Vondunke Courts is called "Maior Lex Cyanra", While the Supreme Council must abide by "Propria Lex Cyanra" these two legal systems have been established and solidified by hundreds of thousands of years worth of tradition and policy with and colloquially referred to as Cyanra Law or Arçæloρ Law.

The VSE is divided into 189 Subnational Federates. Each Federate is centered around one or two giant planetary bodies called **Holdfasts** as they form the center of the systems in which the Vondunke live. A Federate may exercise its full authority over anything within their own gravitational Hillsphere and controls all traffic laws within the Systems magnetosphere. Federates themselves are subdivided into jurisdictions called **Tides** and **Laps**. Tides are based on and around moons, while laps consist of groups of orbiting habitats and other properties. Upon the establishment of each new Federate, the new Federate will dedicate a diplomatic mission, in the form of a moon, to the VSE capital Federate of Glanorth.

### Culture

As the heart, foundation, and origin of the Supreme Entity of Vondunke (VSE), Glanorth is steeped in its rich cultural heritage and history, contributing greatly to the civilization as a whole.

As mentioned 188 moons have been donated to the system meaning it is the political, cultural, and every other descriptive "word-al" center of the VSE. Best selling publications such as "Çekan Çumen", "D.V.Φ.R." and "The Dance" originated in the Glanorth system, Poems such as "Even the Krakken" and "At the end of the day". Musical albums like "Resonance", and greats works of art including "I See". all came from the system. Glanorth is one of four federates known as the Sci-R&D4 in which engineering heritage is most prevalent. The second ever PT-Pod system was opened around Glanorth only months after Oφusdrioçeń now known as "The state of Çeleo".

### History

#### Pre-Federate History

The earliest predecessor of the Glanorth Federate was the Arcaelor Federate, founded shortly before the werewolf wars. After the collapse of the central authority during the Dark Age.

The Arcaelor Federate, now the Arcaelor Authority quickly conquered weaker members of the former state around Glanorth kicking off a rivalry with Sibera which was not resolved until two hundred years later following the Romanticist movement filling the void left in the wake of the Vorfarer War. The Arcaelor Authority took a prominent role by leading the Glanorth political coalition in the newly created Union of Vondunke Entities until the UVE's demise and reconstruction into the temporary Second Vondunke Council where the coalition subsequently became the Federate of Glanorth

#### Under the SVC

Glanorth was one of the six founding Federates of the Second Vondunke Council the direct precursor to the Supreme Entity, of Vondunke along with Siber, Vaerurtok, Cacen, and Vavern. During the bloom it founded the Federates of Udrocioc and Celeo.
