The '''Dominion of Carolina''', known as more commonly as '''Carolina''', is a soveriegn state in southeast [[Nymera]] in the world of [[Verthandi]].
'''Carolina''', officially the '''Dominion of Carolina''', is a soveriegn state in southeast [[Nymera]] in the world of [[Verthandi]]. Carolina, is a sovereign nation located in southeastern Nymera. Carolina is bordered by the Yeye Kingdom to her east, Kasunguland to her north, the Xanan Confederacy and Freijan Nymera to her west and Auberian Nymera to her south.
 
The population of the country is distributed throughout its main coastal cities and vast rural regions. The most populous cities are Montgomery followed by Providence and the inland city of Salisbury. The Carolinan countryside is scattered with small farming settlements, designated safari lands and Mbelestan reservations set aside for the native tribes. In terms of total land area, Carolina is very rural with vast economic zones dedicated to logging, mining, farming and large resource exploration projects.
 
Carolina is a constitutional monarchy and a Dominion within the Reynish Empire with its capital located in Montgomery. Montgomery is also the largest city in the country and serves as its cultural and commercial center with a sprawling seaport and heavy development due to significant investments by the Kingdom of Reyneland. The second largest city in Carolina is the inland city of Salisbury which acts as a transportation hub for resources extracted from more rural inland areas and the center of Carolina's inland transportation network. Carolina has a separation of powers between its Executive, Judicial and Legislative branches and is currently hosting the Reynish monarchy which is in exile due to the Altische occupation of Reynland.

| The United Federal Party is the product of a merger between the two parties which once dominated Carolinian politics, the United Party and Federal Party. Representing the right-wing, pro-imperial elements of pre-Altische occupation Carolina, the party has come to support subsidiarity, social conservatism and broadly supports the cause to restore the Kingdom of Reyneland. In general, the party is known for drafting the constitution of 1934 which replaced the governor general with the King and guarantees home rule once the Kingdom of Reyneland is restored and espouses a political ideology characterized by constitutional monarchy and conservative liberalism.

| The Country Party is an agrarian, socially conservative party of social democrats. The Country is the party widely supported by rural farmers and laborers who have deep roots in Carolina. The party platform advocates for social security, state control of railways and utilities, subsidies for farmers, and supports farming and fishing subsidies, infrastructural improvements to smaller towns and rural areas, protectionism and the party also has a large component which advocate for blue laws prohibiting work on Sundays and holy days. The party frames its economic program as a form of social capitalism and officially denounces left-syndicalism and socialism as extreme and disproven ideologies. The party is characterized by its rural populism and is the center of mainstream left wing labor politics in Carolina. While the party does not officially condone republican politics, there is a small, quiet republican tendency within the party's ranks. In addition to this there is a small, but significant faction within the Country party which are staunch pacifists and prohibitionists.
