Anderence, officially Kingdom of Anderence, (Anderish: Reyekia Anderia) is a constitutional monarchy formed in 26th May 1711 after the unification of the Anderi principalities during the [[The Triple Talks|The Triple Talks]] as a reaction to the colonial expansion of Atracian powers. The relatively small and underpopulated Meredonnian country is located to the north of [[Bluasia|Bluasia]] and the South of [[Dulando|Dulando]]. Her capital, [[Klorien (Anderence)|Klorien]] lies on the [[Island of Ander|Island of Ander]], whereas the largest city of the country is [[Weiarbor|Weiarbor]]. Inherently a composition of rival principalities, Kingdom grants autonomy in certain matters to the 11 duchies which allows them the capability governing themselves independent from the central government. The society adopts conservative values of the Anderi culture firmly, whereas the majority supports the fiscally liberal policies.  
Anderum, officially Confederation of Anderum, is a large confederation of free cities and nomadic Anderi clans of the [[The Great Steppe|The Great Steppe]]. in Thuadia. It borders [[Shadoveil]] to the west, [[Whitmarche]] to the north and [[Nerany]] to the east.


==Etymology==
==Etymology==
The word "Ander" originates from the [[Ancient Polian|Ancient Polian]] language, recent linguists estimate that the root conveys the meaning of "The ones on the shore". This claim also backs the old [[Anderi Existence Myth|Anderi Existence Myth]]. Additionally, the "-ence" has a Polian background as well, it used to imply habitat of a certain folk before the disappearance of the language altogether. Poli itself means 'children' in Ancient Polian, signifying the close relationship of the langauges of the two folks. The name Anderence and Anderi have been in use by international intellectuals and media for centuries.
The name Ander has an interesting etymological background as it is one of the few exceptions to the notoriously protected front-back vowel harmony of the Anderian language. Ander was a demigod warlord figure in the Anderine folktale who had united the proto-Anderi clans and led them to the safe lands of Kagatum, now Anderum. The -(u/ú)m suffix is an archaic noun-modifier attributive affix, thus the word Anderum is in fact a nounified adjective, meaning something along the lines of Ander's or related to Ander.


==Demographics==
==Demographics==
===Languages===
The supermajority of the country are, more profoundly in the rural side but also in urban settlements, the Anderines. The Tashrek people are the largest minority in the country and the regional majority in the southern half of the Zahak Mountain Range. Various groups of Sivuk origin are dispersed across the nation, primarily in coastal cities, the most notable being the Belamunese.
The official language of Kingdom of Anderence is [[Anderish|Anderish]], therefore any legal transaction must be undertaken in Anderish, otherwise shall be voided. The [[Common Tongue|Common Tongue]] has effectively gained popularity in daily life by the 20th century. Statistics produced by the [[Office of Demographics (Anderence)|Office of Demographics]], subordinate to the [[Custody of Home Affairs]], state that 43% of the adult population can fluently speak both Anderish and Common Tongue, this percentage rises to 79% for the children aged 12-18. The original inhabitants of the region, the [[Polies|Polies]], have lost their language over the course of the intensive assimilation and suppression they faced and instead, the Polian language altered Anderish to an extent, giving birth to five different dialects. Five dialects are spoken in Anderence respectively; Pure Anderish, Coastal Anderish, Northern Anderish, Southern Anderish and Torian Anderish. The official language is based on Pure Anderish and is the dialect that has been deliberately preserved against any external influences, Coastal Anderish is widely spoken along the coastal cities of [[The Offshore Lands|The Offshore Lands]], Northern Anderish is dominant in [[Duchy of Possul|Possul]] and [[Duchy of Cambri|Cambri]], Southern Anderish is in [[Duchy of Vindil|Vindil]] and [[Duchy of Forsankt|Forsankt]] and lastly Torian Anderish is spoken in the Torian duchies.
===Ethnic Groups===
The two major ethnic groups in Anderence are [[Anders|Anders]] (singular: Ander) and [[Polies|Polies]] (singular: Poli) which constitute the 97% of the population. The Kingdom classifies her citizens in accordance with the ethnic group census carried out in 1908. There are three groups: Anderi Anderians, whose paternal lineage comes from an Anderi Anderian in 1908, Poli Anderians, who are paternally descendants of Poli Anderians in 1908 and Anderians of Other Ancestries, who are usually immigrants or their descendants. Interracial marriage is quite rare and is usually frowned upon.

===Religious Affliations===
[[Erdetianism|Erdetianism]], the ancient faith of Ander and the state religion, has been enforced on the Polies during the colonial times through missionaries and the notions that reflected the racial superiority of the people of Ander have been widely removed for the sake of the Polies' conversion. There is also a large Poli population that reject God's existence or the religions' legitimacy, labeled by the state as 'Non-Believers'. The state also recognizes Capitology, however all other religions are strictly disregarded and unrecognized.

==Politics & Government==
==Politics & Government==
Historically, the main figures of Anderian politics were the royalty, nobility, people's parties and the [[Erdetian Triarchy|Erdetian Triarchy]]. Over time, the effectivity of people and the worthiness of their determination gained significance while royalty, nobility and the religious bureaucracy lost their hegemony. Yet, Anderence is one of the exceptions in the world where monarchy, nobility, and religion have a strong say in politics, resembling the past. [[The Constitution(Anderence|The Constitution of Anderence]] is based on the principles of checks and balances. The three powers; executive, legislative and jurisdiction are handled by different and independent entities. The legislative body of The Kingdom is the tricameral [[Parliament of Anderence|Parliament]], executive power is held by the [[Council of Custodians|Council of Custodians]] and each custody in relation to their duties and jurisdiction is handled by the [[Custody of Justice|Custody of Justice]] though under the supervision of [[Royal Board of Justice]] which is subordinate to the [[Cooperation of Royal Boards|Cooperation of Royal Boards]] whose senior members are appointed with royal decrees and funding is provided through crown taxes.
WIP
===The Crown===
The sovereign ruler of the Kingdom of Anderence is the [[Monarch of Anderence|Monarch of Anderence]], who also singlehandedly own the Crown of Anderence. The royal family, namely the monarch, their spouse, parents, grandparents, siblings, children, grandchildren, uncles and aunts, cousins, cousins' children, nephews and nieces receive monthly allowances provided from the tax called [[Crown Tax|Crown Tax]], imposed on head of household's taxable income. The tax, alongside the allowances, is mainly used to finance the bureaucratic organisations that are held accountable to the Crown itself.
====Cooperation of Royal Boards====
Founded in 1714 with the Crown Reorganisation Act, [[Cooperation of Royal Boards|Cooperation of Royal Boards]]; is a foundation that offer a wide variety of services to the subjects of the Kingdom, independent from the government. The following boards constitute the cooperation:<br>
1- Royal Board on Justice Conservation<br>
2- Board Board on Research Endorsement<br>
3- Royal Board on Sport Incentivisation<br>
4- Royal Board on National Defence<br>
5- Royal Board on Industrial Policies<br>
6- Royal Board on Social Policies<br>
7- Royal Board on Educational Policies<br>
8- Royal Board on Trade Policies<br>
9- Royal Board on Scientific Development<br>
10- Royal Board on Budget Allocation<br>
The governing body of the cooperation is called the Committee of Directors, which appoints or impeaches the presidents of each royal board, allocates the annual budget and supervise each board in the name of the Crown. Fifteen directors, selected by the [[Privy Council(Anderence)|Privy Council]] for lifelong duty, vote upon such issues. The Committee is chaired by the Chief Executive of The Cooperation of Royal Boards, who is also designated by the Privy Council. The main duty of the collobration is to provide a utensil for the Crown to interfere in political, economical and social matters.
====Privy Council====
The formal advisory council to the [[Monarch of Anderence|Monarch of Anderence]], [[Privy Council(Anderence)|Privy Council]] has the authority to issue royal decrees; in order to appoint [[The Viceroy(Anderence)|the Viceroy]], the directors of the Cooperation and a portion of the Supreme Judges. The royal decrees may only be submitted therein, either the Privy Councillors may propose or the Monarch but without hearing the advices, a Monarch may never utilize the royal pregorative. The council is chaired by the Monarch themselves and the fifteen councillors are chosen by royal decrees that are also drafted in the council from the subjects of the Kingdom, though the Monarch's preference is usually high nobility. Privy Council also has the ability to propose bills or submit recommendation papers to the Parliament of Anderence. The gatherings of the council is usually monthly, however the Monarch may summon their council spontaneously, the sessions presumably have no formal procedure and media is never allowed in.
supreme court of justice that tries the cases where the determination of the ordinary courts of the [[Custody of Justice|Custody of Justice]] is found faulty by the defendant & the appeal is accepted by the Royal High Court, and the cases where a supervision branch of Royal Boards charges a custody, with crimes such as corruption, treason etc. The president, the two deputy presidents of The Cooperation of Royal Boards and the royal judges of The Royal High Court are appointed with royal decrees issued by the [[Privy Council(Anderence)|Privy Council]]. Royal Council, chaired by the monarch, is an advisory assembly that gather once in three months in [[Klorkastel|Klorkastel]] to discuss the affairs of the state and send a paper of suggestions to the Parliament, issue royal decrees to appoint the forementioned officials and lastly designate a [[Viceroy|Viceroy]].
 
====The Inheritance Laws====
The Crown Inheritance Law of Anderence is derived from the ancient Anderi traditions, the [[Privy Council(Anderence)|Privy Council]] proposes three possible heirs from their royal families to the vassals of the Kingdom, namely counts and dukes, the highly preferred one starting ten votes ahead of other two. After the death of the monarch, the vassals elect the new monarch from among the proposed three possible heirs, dukes' choice being worth three votes and that of counts one vote. The heir with the most votes is crowned the Monarch of Anderence. In case of equal votes, the determination of the [[Privy Council(Anderence)|Privy Council]] is the verdict.
 
===Parliament===
Three chambers embody the [[Parliament of Anderence|Parliament of Anderence]]. The parliament is located in the [[Veindar Kastel|Kastel Veindar]], Klorien.
====People's Chamber====
The only house whose members are elected by people's votes, People's Chamber is the chamber responsible for making legislative changes. The 137 seats represent the whole country, though it would be wrong the say proportionately. The counties in Offshore Lands have one seat and the capital counties host two seats, meanwhile every county in the Grand Duchy of Ander is represented by two lawmakers, the exceptions being the two historical seats of the powerful Anderi principalities before the unification, who hold three lawmaker seats and the Grand County of Klorien, which is represented by five lawmakers. The unproportionate distribution effectively helps the pro-royalty Anderi parties have the upper hand in the parliament.
 
In order to ease the production of new draft bills, research commissions are created in the Chamber. Representatives are assigned to those comissions in accordance with their specialisations and comission meetings and Chamber sessions take place in different periods. Comissions may also propose draft bills as well as political party groups, specific representatives etc. Commission bills generally have the support of the majority of the Chamber.
 
People's Chamber is where the lawmakers initiate the voting procedure of their draft bills of all kinds and the yearly budget plan is announced by the Head Custodian or the Custodian for Treasury and Finance if the consent is given in the Council of Custodians, opposition parties criticise the government's decisions in the public eye and many other legislative motions take place. The People's Chamber works with the principle of majority rule, which means any motion is accepted if it has the in favour votes of half of the People's Representatives. [[Head of People's Chamber|Head of People's Chamber]] recognises speakers, keeps the order intact and accepts motions. Abstention right is non-existent by the Constitution.
 
====Clergy's Chamber====
The well-established constitutional foundation of [[Erdetian Triarchy|Erdetian Triarchy]] is indeed exceptional in the world, who still directly intervene in politics under the label of men of the cloth. The Triarchy has autonomous County Archepiscopacies, which are embodied of [[Ortamis|Ortamis]] (urban local government) and [[Povrus|Povrus]] (rural local government) Episcopacies. There is a two-tiered election system to select a Clergy's Representative. First, every Head Priest in an Episcopacy votes one among themselves and the Head Priest with the highest votes competes with the candidates from other Episcopacies, where Episcopal Priests of each Episcopacy within the Archepiscopacy vote upon the candidates. The priest with the majority of the votes is elected the Clergy's Representative of the said Archepiscopacy lifelong, or until the resignation. In the Clergy's Chamber, second house of the Parliament of Anderence, the conformity to the [[Teachings of Travin|Teachings of Travin]] of the bills that passed People's Chamber is discussed upon. The right to convene the Clergy's Chamber is reserved to the [[Head of Clergy's Chamber|Head of Clergy's Chamber]], though the schedule agreed on the first Monday of the year is usually followed. The Head of the Chamber, who is elected by the representatives of the chamber for lifelong duty, also has the responsibility to recognise speeches and accept motions. Simple majority rule applies here as well, if the majority votes in favour of the bill, the proposal moves forward to Gentry's Chamber.

Thereafter, counties designate their urban and rural local governments, respectively called [[Ortamis|Ortamises]] (singular: Ortamis) and [[Povrus|Povruses]] (singular: Povrus). Duchies are independent from [[The Parliament(Anderence)|the Parliament]] on certain matters, and are obliged to comply to [[Klorien|Klorien]] for the rest.

Ander was a demigod warlord figure in the Anderine folktale who had united the proto-Anderi clans and led them to the safe lands of Kagatum, now Anderum. The -(u/ú)m suffix is an archaic noun-modifier attributive affix, thus the word Anderum is in fact a nounified adjective, meaning something along the lines of Ander's or related to Ander.

The supermajority of the country are, more profoundly in the rural side but also in urban settlements, the Anderines. The Tashrek people are the largest minority in the country and the regional majority in the southern half of the Zahak Mountain Range.
