The People's Republic of Fwuvoghor
The Republic is unique across Beluaterra for its restricted powers of government and clear definition of - and protection of - the inherent rights of people. Based on the principles of honor and dignity first laid down in the Order of the Eagle, the slogan used to describe the ideals of the Republic is "Tolerance and Respect" - because with freedom comes the responsibility not to violate the rights of others.
History
The Republic of Fwuvoghor was created as an independent state by Dirrik Hobbs, Duke of Fwuvoghor under Enweil rule. He wrote the Articles of Independence himself, with the advice of scholars in the city, to create a government that would not allow the corruption he felt had overcome Enweil's old council. Dirrik was elected the first Prime Minister and served until his death at the hands of monsters. Retravic the Slayer, Duchess of Fwuvoghor, was elected once Dirrik's death was learned of.
Under Retravic's rule, the Republic changed it's stance drastically in it's stance towards the wars on Beluaterra. Where Dirrik himself had fought alongside Riombara and Irombrozia against Luz de Bia, Retravic disassociated herself from the alliance with Riombara, forging alliances with Irombrozia and Heen, strengthended by her marriage in Enweilios to Hireshmont, then king of Irombrozia. She closed the gates of Fwuvoghor to Fronen, and allied with Enweil, before ultimately declaring war upon Riombara.
Beowulf Kronos was the next to be elected as ruler of the Republic. Following the acts of aggression by Fwuvoghor, Riombara's allies declared war upon the republic - Avalon, Thalmarkin and finally Fronen all marched to war against Fwuvoghor and her ally, Enweil.
Retravic was re-elected in the month of March, but after being seriously wounded by an assassin, Widfara Exiled was elected Prime Minister of the republic. After dissolving the alliance with Enweil and making moves towards peace, he suffered repeated protests and ulitimately open rebellion, led by Retravic, to set up a monarchy in the place of the republic. The republic is now known as The People's Republic of Fwuvoghor.
With the coming of the Undead to the island, Retravic established both the Military Council and Invasion Control Council. Eventually, after long debates and many fights, it was decided that it would be best to ally with the Undead.
After a prolonged absence, Queen Retratic was replaced by Ben's, the former duke of Fwuvoghor, who confided his region to Felmoure. In his reign not much happened, and things began to deteriorate near the end of his reign, and he stepped down.
Felmoure, the duke of Fwuvoghor, was made in turn the new King. With his reign came change, and the first thing he did was reinstate the House of Ministers, which, initially, was made up of four elected (who, coincidentally, were also extremely influential) members of the realm. With it, decisions were then being passed through the house, which while delaying decision-making, made it more democratic. However, two monarchists, the former queen Retravic and her devout supporter, Arch Priest Jean-Olivier, held a considerable power in it, and tensions quickly began to rise as they were constantly opposed to the King Felmoure and Lord Mordred. With these tensions came damage, as Felmoure halted the Arch Priest's access to foreign information, and in turn, the Arch Priest maintained foreign relations of his own, creating a chiasm within the realm. At the end of October (2007), the events came to their climax, as the High Marshal Retravic refused to send the army into Felmoure's perceived suicidary plan. At the same time, the Arch Priest and Earl of Villriil Jean-Olivier was having a heated debate with Felmoure about the realm's relations with the daimon-controlled Sint, as Jean-Olivier had been constantly slandering them and shouting blasphemy to prove their weakness for a considerable ammount of time by then. It all erupted when Felmoure subliminally cast doubts on Jean-Olivier, accusing him of betraying the realms ideal's of respect and tolerance, and ruining relations with realms. Jean-Olivier was quick to react, and this led to him being accused of imposture. To prove his nobility, take back the power he lost, and save Fwuvoghor from the democratic reforms, he forced Felmoure to duel him at the royal palace and declared a rebellion. After a few blows, Jean-Olivier slayed Felmoure and proclaimed himself King. Jean-Olivier started a campaign against Avalon and led several incursions into Zod and Wilwau.
Jean-Olivier's career was shortlived however, and on his return from a failed attempt to take over Zod, he was slain by monsters in Wilwau. Ben's was re-elected king. During King Ben's's reign, the Fwuvoghorian army took over Wilwau and finally signed a cease-fire with Avalon.
