The Dominus Consum in Statis Naumarinax, also known as the Consolidated Dominion of Naumarine States, or The Naumarine States as it is colloquially known, is a large, currently geographically ambiguous nation functioning via what is effectively an extreme plutocratic system. The nation shuns democracy, adhering to the principle of "ona gentex, ona regex, ona levex" - in translation, "one man, one rule, one law".

Geography

The Naumarine States sprawl along the shore of the Mediterranean Sea from the boot of Earth 1 Italy down into the Middle East and Asia Minor. The region covers a total of 2,882,509km².

History

Population

Ethnicity

The vast majority of the Naumarine States' people are Brontians. The region currently comprising the Dominus Consum was once occupied by several smaller nations formed around clans of Brontian stock, of which Naumara was one. These tribal days have long since faded into the distant past, and most Naumarines identify themselves as Naumarines first and Brontians second - the latter usually in an effort to harken back to the classical Divine High Kingdom of Talabrontes in an effort to recapture the glory of that once-mighty empire.

Language

The dominant language of the Naumarine States is Brontian, a tongue bearing passing resemblance to Latin.

Government

Structure

The Naumarine government is essentially a plutocratic dictatorship. The ruler of the country is the Primex. The Primex's authority is absolute, allowing him to make law and policy at a whim. This position is hereditary, though one may not serve as Primex until age twenty-five for educational purposes. The eldest child of the Primex is designated Primex Adjuntex when he or she reaches an acceptable age and serves as essentially vice-president, his authority only subject to the overrule of the Primex. If the Primex lacks a child of suitable age, he may select anyone he wishes to fill the position as Primex Adjuntex Terminum, an interim position akin to regent. The Primus maintains an advisory body known as the Corpus Majorex, consisting mostly of friends and wealthy individuals who advise the Primex on policy and assist him in implementing new directives.

Should the Primex die without child he may not designate another heir. Instead the position is put up for auction among the wealthiest individuals in Naumarine society, allowing one lucky person to buy his or her way to the highest position in the Dominus Consum.

Current Government

The current Primex is Arrian Sentilio Talabrontem, a 49-year-old former telecommunications mogul who inherited both his corporation and his position from his father, Castantius Sentilio Talabrontem. His Primex Adjuntex is his 26-year-old daughter, Diana Sentilio Talabrontem.
