Daekian Dynasty

The Daekian Dynasty is a state within Paloro located mostly within the eastern part of Heaven's Heart, it came to be after the abdication of Ok Epitchian and the official end of the Epitchian Dynasty - making the branch of Duck the main branch and therefore the state adopting its current name.

It consists of Duchy of Neu Misahr and other ducal holdings - such as the ducal manor which is not officialy part of the main ducal structure.

It has an unique form of organization employing several governors to rule the islands in the duke's name and allowing each of them to use the local means of production for profit, therefore not having the need of any taxes.

Abdication of Ok Epitchian
The dynasty of Epitchian and the dynasty of Duck, while being closely related are not similar in their forms of ruling and administration, therefore they are considered different.

Due to several problems regarding Hearthstone law and administration Ok Epitchian had to step down from the office of Duke, it being handed to his heir, Duck.

Administrative Reforms
As Duck grew tired of the old unorganized and inefficient system, he decided to change it to a more organized governor system, getting rid of the old autocratic mayors which were pretty much not respecting any written laws and appointing new island Governors which served in terms (The regions have also been standardized to governorates and colonies)

Before the reforms Lunaism had a great influence over the nation, most religious positions also granting some sort of de facto legal or even administrative power, with the new legal system it had been changed to an effectively secular system disallowing religious positions to entail any sort of administrative or legal duties or powers tied to them.

After Duck's stepping down as the main internal leading power within the Duchy he started focusing more on his personal holdings (known as the Daekian Estates which consist of the mansion, the area surrounding it and some pockets of land in mainland Paloro), he granted most of the power in the duchy back to the Lord-Governor, Epitchian.
