Strupidia

Government

Strupidia has a partial democracy where all men above the age of 16 can vote on laws. Laws get passed through the following process: the king suggests a law that has been requested by the people or the king's confidants, the people vote on the law, and if the law has garnered over two-thirds of the votes, the law comes into action exactly one month from that day. The king appoints specific people to the few government positions, including but not limited to the Officer of Foreign Affairs, the Officer of Internal Affairs, and the Officer of Domestic Economy. These positions are given by the king, but if four-fifths of the people vote an officer out of his position, he is forced to leave and can never hold another government position. This only occurs in rare cases such as if the officer is accused of betrayal to the king or stealing money from the government. The king himself cannot be voted out, and his successor is usually one of his sons or a chosen heir.

Industry & Trade

Originally its main resource was livestock, but after the people realized that they could not live off of only raising livestock, they turned to manufacturing. Strupidia manufactures 80% of Crystal Island's clothing and textiles, most of which are made in homes by independent family companies. It also makes about 75% of all the weapons and armor on the Island, so the other kingdoms are slow to make discord with it.

History

Strupidia was created in 218 PS by the youngest son of the king.

Natural Resources

Strupidia does not contain many natural resources, which is why the people turned to livestock and manufacturing.
