The 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 dramatically 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.
