Exodus

## Creation

Exodus was established in 1294 by Percheval Kingston II. Percheval Kingston was the King of the Kanga Kingdom, a large trading nation established before the creation of Council Island. Kingston chose to become an empire by invading Exadonia, a territory controlled by the Melibians. Kingston's army decimated the Melibians in Exadonia, as they did not care much about the land and chose to retreat and let Kingston have it. This created the Exadonia-Kanga Empire which would only exist for less than a decade.

The Exadonia-Kanga Empire would be replaced by the Kingdom of Exodus, which was born when Percheval Kingston II chose to change his title from Emporer to King. Kingston's true motivations for this were unknown, but it was believed at the time he was trying to replace Kangaville with a more secure capital in Exadonia.

The Kingdom of Exodus would be referred to simply as Exodus in all official documents from 1346-1792. No reason was given for this, but most believe it stopped being written when scribes got lazy, and eventually it became the official name because of how often it was written.

Exodus is now officially known as The Federal Republic of Exodus. Exodus is the oldest democracy in Orania as people began voting for their leader in 1400. Up to that point, the Grand Ruler was chosen by a group of nobility representatives.

## Government

The Exadonian government is divided into 3 "Crowns" or branches. The branches are as follows:

Parliamentary Crown: Represents the general population, creates laws, controls foreign relations, and has the Grand Ruler at its head, who is considered to be the head of state of the nation.

Czar's Crown: Represents the provinces of the country as a whole, can veto laws, and can have a say in foreign relations in certain situations. The Czar's Crown has the Grand Czar at its head and its the only branch with a military controlled by its leader, as the Parliamentary Crown's military is controlled by parliament.

Judicial Crown: Interprets and enforces laws, can veto laws that get through both Parliamentary Crown and the Czar's Crown. The Judicial Crown is headed by The Grand Magistrate.

## Additional Facts

Exadonians enjoy very spicy food, as their taste buds are much less sensitive than the average person. Western parts of Exodus however, enjoy very sweet foods. Type 2 diabetes is very common in Melibia and The Holy Waters.

Fortola Leslo was technically Durian, but he was born while Duria was under Exadonian occupation so he was eligible to be Grand Ruler. Parliament did not like that he was Durian, so they falsified treason charges against him to get him ejected, then hired an assassin to kill him so he could not defend himself in court.

Percheval Kingston died after being shot with a hand cannon during a speech following his successful campaign in The Holy Waters, which was known as The Barrara Sea at the time.

The National Dish of Exodus is mutton and potatoes.

Until the late 1600s, the Grand Ruler was not considered to be the head of state. Exodus was closer to a democracy with 2 elected leaders, but after the Czardomes power was limited by a law passed in 1698 by Bruno Dufour, the Grand Czar became less powerful and the Grand Ruler held more power. This is now thought of as Bruno attempting to create a dictatorship, but after he lost his reelection campaign in 1702, this law would speed up progression, as there was less arguing in the government with less people in power.
