Government
A monarchy for several centuries, this nation has been underneath the rule of the current line of kings and queens known as The Olmarza Family for quite some time. Not always ruled by this family, as various families have ruled the nation in its history, but the Olmarzas have ruled for over a dozen generations, which is the longest ruling family so far. Some believe that this means they are due for a change, and political unrest has been brewing in the capital.
