The Borderlands of Sabrateur are a large nation towards the west of The Spectrum. As a nation, it prides itself on its stunning environment - an area which the government actively seeks to preserve, as it is one of the finest in the region. It is also a fiercely democratic state, with citizens having superb political freedom. The nation holds many traditional values whilst still embracing modernity, and citizens are renowned for their patriotic nature, particularly with regards to the monarchy, which was recently saved in a national referendum with a strong majority. Sabrateur has a modest army, as it strives to maintain peace and safety across The Spectrum, seeking to calm any conflict between nations and taking a conscientious stance against violent confrontation. For this reason, the government has a keen interest in international politics, and was in part responsible for averting the recent planned invasion of O Re Sa Ma by Mushy Pea.
History
The Sabratese people existed for many years as a nomadic tribe, before the people elected to dwell in an area on the north east banks of the Synaptic Gulf. Here they found prosperity in the lush environment under the leadership of their King, King Ranulph I. As time progressed, clear borders were established with other nations of the region; Petersvillia and Daveanoyl Chloride to the west, Enthalpy Change to the south, Oldham Road to the east, and the huge nation of Calumnius to the north. These neighbours have come to be strong allies, both politically and economically.
The Sabratese Monarchy
Sabrateur prides itself on being one of the few nations in The Spectrum to have a monarchy, founded by Ranulph I. It is unique in that, to this day, it is an unbroken bloodline of the Chassigne family, and the current monarch, King Alexander James Chassigne V is the direct grandson of Ranulph, 32 times removed. Alexander James is a very popular figure, and was saved in a recent move to abolish the monarchy, with 73% in the national referendum voting to keep the monarchy. Although now the sovereign holds no politcal position, he is still a widely respected and charismatic figure, and regularly campaigns for peace and foreign prisoner amnesty. Although he is the richest man in Sabrateur, he is still noted for his philanthropy and living a modest life, being awarded the Ranulph Peace Medal in his 5th year of reign. King Alexander James is married to his wife of 16 years, Nina Chassigne (neé Firth-Starkey), and they have a son (and heir) Stephen, and a young daughter, Andrea.
