Whitecrest

Government
"Near Absolute Monarchy w/ "Parliament" Whitecrest is lead by a Monarch. This Monarch may name an heir to the throne at any time, but if he/she dies without naming one then it will go to the closest familial relation. If such a relation does not exist then the people of Whitecrest may decide upon their next ruler. The Monarch rules until death, unless they are deemed unfit to rule by unanimous vote from the court and proven to be such in an impartial court of law adhering to Whitcresian legal procedure. The monarch may also give up the throne at any time because of any reason. The Monarch has complete control of all aspects of life in Whitecrest, and can pass any laws and inflict any punishments upon wrongdoers. The Royal Court, which is made up of people chosen due to their loyalty by the monarch and his predecessor(s), can generally veto any law or other such kingly decision with a majority vote." -Gemini73

Culture
"Whitecrest was created by foreigners from vastly different areas of the world; Nimis Inaria (N/A), Remus Callidus of Lithon, and Rabol the Mad (N/A). None of these original settlers are currently living there as two have passed and one has left for the Far East. Whitecrest has fairly lax policies and some speculate there to be a flourishing criminal underground, though no hard evidence has ever been brought forth. It is a multi-cultural/racial/spiritual/geographical mixing pot housing many extremely different people from many different places. All are welcome. Whitecrest is a flourishing port town that also has a profitable lumber business. There is land for farming and much opportunity to make a new life for oneself."-Gemini73
