South Vastallos

The Federation of South Vastallos is a country in the subcontinent of Vastallos (Alteniquia) and it's divided in two states (three if counting its vassal Carvay): Dracade and Asturcia. With Carvay as a vassal, South Vastallos is one of the powers of the region.

Government
The Federation is an indirect democracy ruled by 3 Consules, one per state. This is because the Consules are elected among and by the Proconsules, two governors per state of the South Vastallos. The people, the Capites, are the ones electing the Proconsules and they do it every two months in a single nation-wide election which also includes Carvay, the vassal nation that is a de facto state of the Federation.

The role of the Consules is to take care of national issues and to estabilish and mantain foreign relations. They're also the highest authority.

The Proconsules hold consultative power in everything that regards the Consules' duties, but they are the governors of the states that make up the federation: their role is to live at close contact with the Capites of their respective state (outside of it they are simple Capites) and to organize it while the Consules are busy doing something else.

The Federation also has the Highest Court, which is made by 3 judges with a certified and South Vastallos recognized law degree (just a google form, not an actual one). These judges CANNOT hold any government position during their mandate as judge.

Geography
The Federation of South Vastallos is located in Alteniquia, a few thousand blocks west from the center of the world. It borders Knossos, Vrolgar and Carvay to the north (also Astana if we consider Carvay part of the territory), while to the south it has no borders apart from the maritime ones wich are shared with Sanctum, Aldovir, Kush and Carvinia.

Dracade
Dracade's territory is not giant, but it's fertile and promising: the presence of Mount Clio to the very southwest offers great protection against invasions while the Stensta Plains to the east are a precious natural resource for new cities or projects. The Capital of the state is Dragospiro (located on and near Mount Clio) and it is the most populous town in Vastallos, there's also Dragolitore which is a brand new WIP city. To the south we have a peninsula which delimits the Maiden Bay, home to the continent's biggest harbor and an essential link to the Mare Caprichosa: the Maiden Bay Port.

Asturcia
Asturcia is the bigger of the two states with a lot of territory ready to be used: with the Mennzsag highlands and the Vastallosi Plains, Asturcia is a jewel for what regards natural characteristics. Though, some cities already know this such as the city of Albertia, the biggest non-capital town of the Federation, or Broria, an old squatter city with an already made infrastructure which is only waiting to be revived. Asturcia's capital is Asturcia City, a big town with a n extensive pier running along the coast and facing south.

Culture
The two constituent states have similar cultures and languages, in fact this was a major factor in favour of the formation of the Federation as both populations were extremely similar in attitude, lifestyle and goals.

Dracadian Culture
Dracadian culture has been massively influenced by Carvay: almost nothing of the old cultures such as the Ducks remains and it has been replaced by Asturcian and Carvaian languages, while other aspects of Dracadian culture come from the natives, people that lived on Mount Clio after the Cluckonic Order and before the foundation of Dracade as a carvaian state.

The people of Dracade are exceptional builders and love vibing just as their old leader Andre Ramo taught them, in fact they've focused on building Dragospiro with their peculiar and distinctive style: viking structures with dark pitched roofs and red walls which give the city a vibrant and magical feeling.

Asturcian Culture

History
The Federation formed in mid December 2021 as both Dracade and Asturcia felt the need to strenghten themselves by merging, making for a larger state with more potential and in hopes of a prosperous Southern Vastallos, a region that had been always overlooked.

Post-Merging period
A week after having founded the Federation, and after the stepping down of Landy, the South Vastallosi Constitution was released during the initiation of Tiemen as new Consul of Dracade.
