Country introductions

The second Elan republic is a republican dictatorship opposed to the liberal ideas of the first Elan republic that murdered the royal family and large parts of the nobility in the june uprising.
The Elan etnicity is inspired by the Scandinavian ethnicity of real life.
We follow the main branch of the holy church of Crehasha, but like in most Crehashan societies secular ideas are not uncommon.

De jure its ruled by the upper chamber of the parliament with 55 members, but de facto its a one man dictatorship.
The parliament is called the Senate of Elan and the lower chamber is purely advisory and has 300 members from all parts of society while the upper chamber has 55 members and all legitimate power comes from here. It is a sovereign and a majority vote in this chamber is the law. There is only one party, but it defines it self not as a party as all parties are banned and seen as first republican.

Here follows the constitution of Elan: (this is a semi-ooc version of the constitution as writing such a document as it would've looked like will take too much time and it may not be finished yet, but it is supposed to just give GM and players some idea of what kind of country this is)

The constitution of Elan

0. The ideas of the june revolution of the first republic of Elan are the enemy of the state, the people and humanity as a whole.
