Maritime Republic of Serafini

Governmental Structure
Serafini was a republic in Western-Sparwood which specialized in farming, mining, diplomacy, horse breeding, trade, banking, and cargo transport with five elected offices making up the governing body called the Signoria. The Signoria wrote and passed laws as well as acting as a jury in judicial proceedings. There were also two sets of three offices that weren't elected by the citizens of Serafini. Those that held those offices were able to run for other offices and could be selected from either elected officials or the general citizenry.

Elections were held at the end of each month. Citizens could 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 would have had two or more stages where the candidate with the fewest votes will be disqualified until there is a winner. The flag of Serafini contained a six winged angel (four on the back, two covering the face) who held a sword and navigational sextant. The sextant represented the trade and diplomatic ambitions of the nation and the sword represented its independence and willingness to defend itself from outside powers. Serafini had no official state religion and accepted members of every religious group. There were three official houses of worship in Serafini, with two religions represented: The Word of Reece (Specifically Oskar), and Sakrelism.

Serafini was a member of the Council of Sparwood City States (CSCS) until the CSCS disbanded after the Serafinian Civil War.
