La Bucca

Across the waves, far from Théah, the former prison island of La Bucca wonders if it even is a nation. An island of thieves, pirates and cutthroats, La Bucca promises liberty for all. Led by the walking enigma calling himself (herself?) “Allende,” La Bucca has a chance at becoming a shining beacon of liberty across the moonlit seas. But it could also fall into the hands of Villains, turning it into a true beacon of darkness.

Demographics

25% Castillan, 25% Montaignan, 15% Voddacan, the remainder a mixture.

Government

Each year, Allende holds general elections for heads of Chapters, the watch vaptain, and president of the island. The elections are open; anyone can run, and everyone’s vote counts equally in determining the outcomes. Each year, the same people run for and are voted into office. Despite the talk of a true democracy, it is clear that not everyone agrees with Allende’s utopian idea of a government system. No one dares to run for president against Allende—she optimistically believes that her leadership is too inspiring to be opposed—and threats and bribes run rampant around election time each year to secure the additional governmental seats. 
Allende isn’t completely unaware of the corruption rampant in her system, but she is at a loss for how to stop it. The order she imposed on the ruffians and political prisoners seems to stick, and she keeps it limping along for as long as she can.
