Geography
A municipal territory of the Federation of Lordaroth. It lies in the middle of the territory of Tazoroth with the Tazor River bisecting it. Its territory is the smallest in all Lordaroth, yet it has the greatest population percentage, 11%. The capital of the territory, Lord'eron City, which is also the national capital. Lord'eron City lies in the middle of Lord'eron territory along the Tazor River. Seventy-seven percent of Lord'eron's population lives in the metropolis of the capital. The rest live in small townships dotting the surrounding heavily farmed river basin.
Economy
The main exports of this territory are manufactured goods, mainly coming from the capital's industrial district, and agricultural produce from the farms of the fertile river basin.
Government
The territory is ruled by a council of nine ministers. Five ministers are elected every five years by the population. Two ministers are elected for life and voting for them is done by the population whenever one dies or resigns, and two are appointed by the king for seven years.
The monarchy of Lord'eron comes from its past history as a monarchial city-state up until 782 A.F. and has been maintained as a traditional post in the government with no power. Yet once the Federation of Lordaroth was established the territory's government was reformed and the king was given the role of selecting two ministers for the governing council.
