The Federation of Domnonia is a member of the [[International Democratic Union|IDU]].

<i>The Republic of Domnonia is a small, environmentally stunning, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Owl population. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 10 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.  They love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
 
  
The government -- a socially-minded morass -- juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 42%, but much higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Book Publishing and Trout Farming.
+
== The Confederation ==
  
The automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, and voting is compulsory while military funding has been stripped back, citizens select which government department gets their income tax Domis each year, and organ donation rates have hit a new low. Same-sex marriages are increasingly common, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and the government is attempting to revitalize the private sectorCrime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Domnonia's national animal is the Owl, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Domi.

Algar lies in western Domnonia, it borders the nation of Antrium along the River Isca. Algar is the largest producer of conventional crude oil, synthetic crude, natural gas and gas products in Domonia. Two of the largest producers of petrochemicals in the IDU are located in central and east central Algar. Over 5 million cattle are residents of the province at one time or another, and Algar beef has a healthy worldwide marketAlgar is a parliamentary democracy. Its unicameral legislature -- the Legislative Assembly -- consists of 100 members. The government is headed by a Premier. The city of Algaria is Algar's government capital.

East Hiel is the westernmost province of Domnonia.  It's capital is Ungava. Ungava is Domnonia's second most populous metropolitan area, reaching from the eastern shores of Yuril Bay to the southernmost tips of the East Hiel Isthmus. Other major cities include Maedon, Deira, Arcium, Acie, Kendorn, and Adera.  The Hiel Range and Yuril Bay provide some of Domnonia's most renowned and spectacular scenery, which forms the backdrop and context for a growing outdoor adventure and ecotourism industry.

===[[Province d'Inlad]]===
 +
The province occupies a small territory (comparable to the size of East Hiel), most of which is very sparsely populated.  The most populated region is the Lawrence Bay area in the mid-south, where the capital, Souther, and the largest city, are situated.  Inladers comprise the largest French-speaking society in Domnonia. Most French Domini live in Inlad, though there are other concentrations of French-speakers throughout Domnonia with varying degrees of ties to Inlad, or Jonquiere-Tadoussac.

 +
== Culture ==
 +
It has been said that Domnonian culture rests solely in the effort to distinguish itself from its neighbours in the IDU. However, others argue that while the region shares some aspects of a common cultural heritage, there is also a separately identifiable Domnonian culture. They point to what they view as a greater integration of their Native culture; the retention of traditions descended from those of French settlers; and a notable infusion of immigrant and refugee settlers in later phases of the country's history.

The Domnonia of today is the result of many great debates over how to govern a country, especially one as diverse as Domnonia. Many active citizens who challenged the status quo and demanded a model to reflect our realities are listed among Domnonia's greatest heroes. This is indeed a great tradition, and learning about the people and events that have shaped and created our current system of government is one of the best ways to learn about what it means to be an informed and responsible citizen.<br><br>This is Parliament. Inside these walls and chambers you will see a lot of activity. This is where the people who represent the citizens of Domnonia come together to debate, discuss, reflect, and make decisions about how our country’s policies, laws and finances work to reflect the public will and the public interest. <br><center>

Ensuring that Domnonian's know how Parliament works is the key to making it work. As a democracy, Domnonia thrives when its citizens are involved and informed.<br><br>
 
  
The Domnonian Parliament is made up of 31 Seats, representing 31 Counties and City-Districts in 4 Provinces.  Each seat represents thousands of voices in Parliament.<br><br>
