A Nation Created in a Spirit of Hope, commonly known as Spirit of Hope (SoH), is a country comprising of 13 kingdoms. The capital is Haless, which also serves as the capital for that kingdom.
The boundaries of Spirit of Hope were created in Antiquity, with the creation of the Fromosian Empire. The Fromosian empire lasted a little over a century before collapsing due to internal power struggles. In it's place thirteen separate nations arose, and began to fight for dominance of the region.
In 1594 the Formation Wars began when X and Y went to war over a disputed bit of territory, the conflict quickly engulfed the entire region, and by 1601 every one of the thirteen nations was involved in the conflict. Over the next fifty years the region was devastated by the war, and the original cause of the war was quickly forgotten. By 1652 all participant nations were exhausted from the war, and due to complicated dynastic marriages, ongoing conflict, and assassinations, most of the royal families had consolidated on King Abelard the First. Starting in 1653 King Abelard held a series of peace negotiations to end the conflict and consolidate his new realm. In 1654 the Treaty Creating A Nation in a Spirit of Hope was signed, creating the modern empire and setting out the government system.

- Judicial: Interprets laws, and specifically how they interact with the Treaty founding Spirit of Hope.
The House of the People has 500 seats, half are elected by party list proportional representation, with the other half representing districts apportioned by the population. Districts can, and often do, cross kingdom lines and are designed to group geographic and ethnic regions by the Judiciary. Elections are held every 2 years for all seats.
The House of the Lords has 52 seats, four for each Kingdom. Formally they are appointed by the head of state of each kingdom, but for over 100 years all have been elected by their kingdom population at large. They hold their seat for eight years, with one seat being elected every two years.
