The Republic of Barca

The Republic of Barca lays in the heart of Maroccidens, in the dense forest known as the Marwood, with Rettleville as our Capital. West of the long civilized Old Maroccidens the Republic of Barca forms the front-line in the defense of the monster scourge that threaten human civilizations as we know it. And therefore also has a strong bond with the Noble Republic of Terran and Kingdom of D'Hara.

History

Barca was formed by the realm of Terran as a colony takeover of the city Rettleville. A young nation, Barca has since struggled to establish itself and survive the constant onslaught of roaming monsters and undead.

Government

Barca is a republic and led by an elected Senate consisting of region lords and councilmen.

Government Positions

Title	Role	Ascendancy	Responsibilities
Suffete	Ruler	Elected	Leader and voice of the Senate. Directly responsible for Diplomacy.
Lord Justice	Judge	Elected	Directly responsible for enactinghing and enforcing Barcan Law.
Boetarch	General	Elected	Commands the Barca Military and thus directs the Marshals of all Barcan Armies.
Grand Rab	Banker	Elected	Directly responsible for Barca's infrastructure and realm tax system.

Hierarchy

Each noble has their place in the grand scheme of things. A Knight is sworn to serve their Lord, a Lord is sworn to serve their Duke and a Duke is sworn to serve the Suffete. All nobles serve the Senate. Nobles without an oath owe their allegiance to the realm. They do not report to a specific lord, but they also do not receive region tax shares and can not serve in an army.

• 2011-08-23 - The Treaty of the Maroccidens is signed by Barca, D'Hara & Terran.
• 2011-08-29 - The Treaty of Evanburg is signed by Barca and Aurvandil.

Laws

It is the responsibility of the Senate to establish the Laws of Barca and the responsibility of the Lord Justice to enact and enforce the laws as approved by the Senate. If it is determined by the Senate that the Lord Justice is enacting or enforcing laws in a manner not approved by the Senate, the Lord Justice shall be removed from office and subject to investigation and possible penalties.

Senate

The senate consists of all region lords and council members and is lead by the Suffete. All senatorial decrees are announced by the Suffete.

Illegal Acts

• Disregarding or intentionally ignoring lawful orders is illegal.
• The looting of any region, without orders to do so by the Boetarch, is illegal.
• Issuing or accepting duels without approval of the Senate is illegal.
• The building of temples, founding of a new religion or preaching without the consent of the Senate is illegal. (Barca/Approved Religions)
• The malicious use of magic and spell-casting without consent of the Senate to is illegal.
• Holding more than one senatorial position without the consent of the Senate

Enforcement of the Law

All potential transgressions are reported to the Lord Justice. It is the responsibility of the Lord Justice to investigate reported transgressions and to enforce appropriate penalties. All applied penalties are reported to the Senate.

Lawful Penalties

• Warnings are issued in circumstances in which it has been determined via investigation that a legal transgression was inadvertently committed. Warnings are rarely issued.
• Fines are issued when a transgression warrants a greater punishment than a warning but is not sever enough to warrant Banishment or Execution. The amount of the fine is based upon the nature and severity of the crime and the history of the transgressing noble.
• Banishment is a serious matter and only issued in the most serious of circumstances. Complete disregard of Barcan Law and treasonous acts (aiding an enemy, attacking or stealing from Barcan nobles, rebellion, hostile acts against Barca or Barcan allies and any action or inaction that harms, or could cause harm, to Barca or Barca’s allies) could result in banishment.
• Executions are only performed in truly grave of cases when Banishment has proven ineffective or insufficient. Executions require the consent of the Senate.

Lawful Orders

• All nobles, Senators and Council members must obey orders issued by the Senate.
• Marshals and Vice-Marshals must obey orders issued by the Boetarch.
• All members of an army must obey orders issued by the Marshals and Vice-Marshals.
• Knights must follow orders issued by their Liege.
• Courtiers and Traders must obey orders issued by the Grand Rab.
• Diplomats and Ambassadors must obey orders issued by the Suffete.

Military

As a newly founded realm, Barca is still fleshing out it's military structure and has yet to establish Armies. All nobles currently follow the orders of the Boetarch in military matters.

Military Hierarchy

Knights are often assigned to an army by their Liege and region lords will often assign themselves to an army. When assigned to an army, you are tasked with following the orders of that army's Marshal in military matters, or to lead that army if assigned to the role of Marshal.

Culture

Barca is a fundamentally peaceful nation more interested in trade and political stability than war and conquest. At the same time, there is a strong tradition of military command among Barcan aristocrats. Barca favors formations of heavy infantry and has many traditions that foster military virtue such as decorations in the form of armlets to represent the number of campaigns in which military leaders have served.

Religion

Barca law permits any religion to be practiced as long as it does not harm the nation in any way. However, it is required that Senatorial approval is gained before preaching, building temples or establishing new faiths within Barca.

Library

In Barca's capital of Rettleville there is a privately owned library, open to the public. It is said to contain much knowledge, both ancient and newer.

Guilds

Geography
