Aranna, currently known as the Arannese Kaiserstaat, or the Imperial State of Aranna is one of the oldest standing nations in the lands of Cinder, located on the coast of the Evonian Sea.
History
Aranna was founded in the very beginning of the First Era during the period known as the First Moons. It was the first nation to publicly declare its existence to the world. Being a rapidly advancing settlement in the forests of Ehb, Aranna was known for its industry and early philanthropic tendencies, as it supplied nearby nations with Testifikan workers and tools & armour.
During the late First Moons, Aranna spearheaded an expedition to the End dimension via the Saigon Stronghold, accompanied by members of Ascëa, Belmonte, and Cauldra. Ever since then, the Dragon Egg has remained in Arannese possession. Aranna subsequently annexed Ascëa in a mutual agreement, forming the short-lived Confederate States of Aranna.
Political system
Aranna over the months of its existence phased through multiple governmental systems, though its ruling caste remained since its formation.
The Arannese Kaiserstaat is an "Absolute Constitutional Monarchy", meaning the power of the ruler, titled "the Kaiser" has absolute authority over the legislative, judicial, and executive branches, but maintaining the rule of the Imperial Charter and acting within its laws, dictated by the overall will of the people.
Geography
Aranna encompasses primarily forests and hills. It's natural regions include:
- Ehb Forest
- Kaiserwald Forest
- Ascëan Valley
- Phishoko Cliffs
- Dagon Province
- Whitestrake Mountain
- Quintarion Island
The state of Aranna is situated on the "Thousandth Parallel", the imaginary line separating the Central Cinder from Northern Cinder. The capital city is located roughly at -1600 -1000. It considers itself a Western, sometimes Northwestern nation.
Culture
Arannese culture is centered around the maintenance of total social cohesion between the citizens. Arannese recruitment policy states that newcomers would not be admitted to the nation if the population protests.
At the same time Arannese culture can bei characterised with cleanliness and generosity, as was seen in the First Moons period and the "Open doors" procedure, letting all those in need receive residential rights in the state, and all newly admitted citizens receive residences in the capital city free of charge.
Militarily Aranna maintains combat readiness at all times, and is the first nation to publicly adopt a set of rules of warfare, called the Codex Militaris. Under this Codex, the Arannese Military, which includes the Staatwehr and Landsknecht branches operates within specific parameters, which disallow members of the military from marauding, harming civilian populations, arbitrarily arrest civilians, or use specific types of weapons.
Religion
Though a secular state, Aranna is home to the Church of the Divines. Two temples are located in greater Aranna, in the Capital and Whitestrake provinces.
