===The Secession of Wyvernia===
Amongst growing disagreements with the governing bodies of the Kingdom of North Moria, the provincial governor of the region of Sunset Bay and mayor of the town bearing the same name, Stampy, decided to, along with the rest of the towns within the province, secede from the Kingdom of North Moria to form the Nation of Wyvernia. Although there were no preemptive talks to the Kingdom about this secession, relations have been amicable and non-retaliatory.
==Government==
The government of the Kingdom of North Moria is that of a constitutional thalassocratic dictatorship in such that it has a constitution, has a culture built strongly around its naval forces and attributes, and has a form of dictator who shares power with the rest of the governing bodies rather than having power over them.
There are four levels of the government of the Kingdom of North Moria:
The Lord Admiral
The Regent-Elect
The House of Nobles
The House of Commons
At any point, anyone in any of the governing bodies may propose a movement, a new law, an amendment to any previous acts, or any other form of legislative work. Once a piece of legislation has been proposed to the government, the respective bodies retreat within themselves for a 4 day period within which they discuss any possible changes and weigh the pros and cons of any act. After the period of four days, the bodies reconvene with each other to present their final leaning on the matter. Each group is given a percentage of the final vote, with the Lord Admiral, and House of Nobles each representing one vote and the House of Commons representing two votes. Once the final votes are tallied, the legislation either passes with a majority vote of 3/5 or it fails and is filed away.
===The Lord Admiral===
The position of Lord Admiral is held by the highest ranking naval officer within the nation. Currently, it is held by Brumur Hammercoat. Upon his death, it would be presented to the second highest ranking officer within the fleet, and so on. Once obtained, the position is one for life unless extraneous circumstances were to cause one to be disavowed from the nation. Also, given a unanimous vote of both the House of Nobles and the House of Commons as well as approval from the reigning Regent-Elect, the position of Lord Admiral can be stripped from the current holder.
===The Regent-Elect===
The Regent-Elect is a democratically voted position, with a term lasting 2 CAD months. Any resident of the nation (barring the Lord Admiral) may run for this position but must forfeit any other position they hold within either house during their term. The election is help over a period of 5 days and any citizen of the nation may vote within it. The Regent-Elect also controls the land armies of the Kingdom of North Moria as their grand general. Also, given a unanimous vote of both the House of Nobles and the House of Commons as well as approval from the reigning Lord Admiral, the position of Regent-Elect can be stripped from the current holder.
===The House of Nobles===
The House of Nobles is populated by the nobles of the Kingdom of North Moria. These figures are those who the Regent-Elect or Lord Admiral have decided are the most valuable assets to the nation's longevity and who have the nation's best interests in mind. Although not necessarily more powerful than any member of the House of Commons, the nobles tend to also act as personal advisors to the Lord Admiral and the Regent-Elect and the Regent-Elect tends to be elected from within the nobles. The position of a noble is appointed and held for life and can be given to anyone within the nation, although the most likely candidates are mayors, successful businessmen and wealthy individuals, and decorated or otherwise notable individuals from within the army or naval ranks.
===The House of Commons===
The House of Commons is made up of the rest of the population of the Kingdom of North Moria. Any citizen is eligible to join the House of Commons and partake in discussions and the voting that is held there, although it is not required of the citizens to do so. All members of the House of Commons hold equal status regardless of the social hierarchy and vote on all matters equally. Even if one votes within the House of Commons once, they are not required to remain there upon the next legislative vote and thus many opt to only vote on matters that pertain to them directly.
