Maritime Republic of Serafini

Flag and Banner
The flag of Serafini contains a six winged angel (four on the back, two covering the face) holding a sword and navigational sextant. The sextant represents the trade and diplomatic ambitions of the nation and the sword represents its independence and willingness to defend itself from outside powers.

Religions
Serafini has no official state religion and accepts members of every religious group. There are currently three houses of worship in Serafini, with two religions represented: The Word of Reece (Specifically Oskar), and Sakrelism.

Government
Serafini is a republic with five elected offices making up the governing body called the Signoria. The Signoria writes and passes laws as well as acting as a jury in judicial proceedings. There are also two sets of three offices that are not elected by the people. Those that hold these offices are able to run for other offices and can be selected from either elected officials or the general citizenry.

Elections are held at the end of each month. Citizens can run for more than one elected office, but may only hold one office at a time. In the case of three candidates running for one office, the election will have two or more stages where the candidate with the fewest votes will be disqualified until there is a winner.

Serafini is a member of the Council of Sparwood City States (CSCS).

Specialization
Serafini, as a nation, currently specializes in farming, mining, diplomacy, and horse breeding, but plans to expand its horizons into trade, banking, and cargo transport.
