Whiteridge

General Information
Whiteridge is a town in Sethris's central region, northwest of Eldham. PvPHorizon founded it on December 26, 2021. Whiteridge, home of the Dom Perignon, is a business town concentrated on brewing with a population of about 24 people.

Foundation Period (December 2021- January 2022)
PvPHorizon, who lived on a lovely island in the middle of the sea, was forced to flee when a war broke out. He finds himself in the middle of the Sethrian Taiga a short time later. He built a little house to protect himself from the severe winter. He took a day off to recover from the cold, warmed by the fire's flames.This little cottage will soon become the operation's headquarters. He realized the enormous geography of the region he settled in by cutting down more and more trees: A river circles the area, which sits at the foot of a mountain and it's close to Sethris' capital. Whiteridge was founded just after Christmas. It lay in the center of the route that connects Zirbenburg with Avaris, his capital. Whiteridge gained his first houses, citizens, and even a library in under two weeks. As a result, the townhall was built in the back of town, where it could be seen from miles away.

The Great Expansion (January 2022)
By enlarging the town, the Mayor planned to shake things up a little. His tireless efforts to organize construction projects resulted in the expansion of both the town and the people. The town's population rapidly surpassed 20 people. Due to an increase in bandit activity, PvPHorizon decided to begin building walls around the city to safeguard his residents. This large-scale project would need a significant amount of time and resources.

The Dark Ages (February 2022)
Not long after the Mayor announced further growth plans, including constructing the town's own defensive walls and selecting the downtown's final size, he simply vanished. When he left the town to his council members, they were unable to carry on his efforts, and the community became stagnant. Some residents decided to leave since they were missing their leader, leaving Whiteridge as a ghost town.

Town
The town is founded on democracy, with the majority of votes controlling the community's choices. Every district in town elects a member of the council. The Senate is comprised of four magistrates who represent the following areas: economy, military, infrastructure, and culture. The founding mayor has the same decision-making authority as the other council members.

Nation
The government of Sethris is a representative democracy, functioning on two main systems working together to keep balance.

King

The 'king' of Sethris will not be a permanent king, rather an elect from the council or an individual willing to put in the work to become a candidate. The king will have the power to veto laws and suggestions, suggest their own laws, and manage relations with fellow nations alongside the council. The king will be selected based on a majority vote from the citizens of Sethris, but will also be able to be dethroned or have their own suggestions and laws overturned by the council. This allows the elect to have large power within the government, though not to an abusive level. If the king is unable to fulfill their duties, whether this is due to issues outside of the game, a ban, etc, the council will vote upon a member to take their place until the next election. Elections will be held at the beginning of every month, and the king will have power until the next election concludes unless they are elected again. There is no limit to the number of terms a king can serve.

Council

The Council of Sethris will be a group composed of members of different jobs, communities, and various other groups from across the lands of Sethris. A single council member will not have the level of power that the king elect would, though the combined council would have more. This would allow multiple groups from across Sethris to have their voices heard in the government, meaning that no one group would be left out from decisions. The council will also be an even number, therefore making tied votes on subjects impossible, as one will always be king. Council members will not be elected by the general public, but instead will be chosen for their dedication to the nation and their trustworthiness to the state. If a member of the council is found to be corrupt, they may be voted out based on the judgment of other council members.

Law enforcement

Those convicted of crimes throughout the nation of Sethris will be judged before the council, where their fate will be decided. If their crime is against only the laws of Sethris, then a punishment within the government's power will be inacted, though if their crime is against the laws of the server, administators of the server will be notified if the accused is found guilty. If a council member is the accused, then the king shall serve in their place in their trial. All trials will be open to the public.

Various other things

Sethris will have no connection to the church, allowing all religions to be freely practiced as its citizens wish. The government of Sethris will have no right to take anything away from citizens without proper justification, and taxation cannot be without reason, especially when harsh.

This government system should allow all groups to be heard while also limiting corruption. These groups will be assembled soon so that plans for the government can begin to be put into place, and for the time being, I will do my best to lead the nation in the right direction until it is everyone's choice as to who takes my place.
