Theocracy of Stuedor
The Archclericy of Stuedor is a theocracy devoted to the worship of Bahamut, and ruled by the Canon of Stuedor a powerful Bahamut cleric advised by the College of Bishops and the Celestial Order of the Moons. The Canon is selected by the College of Bishops and approved by the Celestial Order when the old Canon steps down or passes on. Power to remove the Canon is shared between the College and the Celestial Order. The national capital is Stuedor.
Administrative Divisions
Stuedor is divided into eight dioceses for the purpose of administering both church and secular functions. Seven of the dioceses are jointly ruled, half of the governing power being held by a bishop of Bahamut (appointed by the Canon), and the remaining power given to the most powerful secular noble family in each diocese. The eighth diocese, that of Stuedor City, is governed by the Canon himself, though an archbishop is appointed to administer it.
Executive branch As of 835 CY, Stuedor's chief of state is Canon Fontane Kirrevi.
Legislative branch Stuedor's bicameral legislature consists of the College of Bishops and the Celestial Order of the Moons.

The College consists of the Bishop of Bahamut from each of Stuedor's seven dioceses, the Archbishop of Stuedor City, the rulers of the local churches of Erathis and Reai, the High Priest of the Knights of Stuedor a representative from the elven churches, and other members appointed by the Canon.
