==Government == | |||
[[File:Lowenburg Government.png|alt=Government Chart of Lionsroar|thumb|1014x1014px|The Government Chart of Lionsroar|center]] | |||
Lionsroar as a kingdom is an absolute monarchy, headed by a monarch in a ruling family. A tradition that has existed for several centuries, and despite political developments in recent years, especially in the direction of democratic and socialist movements, remained established and guided the destiny of the citizens as the used system of government. Such a system with a single person includes a huge amount of bureaucracy and coordination that makes up the state system. Corruption, mistakes, and just the bureaucracy and lack of coordination are always occurring problems and keep the quality of life low. Despite all this and political and economic problems and divison, the government is firmly in the saddle; the long years of civil war and serious economic mistakes made by smaller regional democratic and socialist constituent states ensure that the government has broad support, which will not subside in the coming years. A pronounced media presence for the crown prince in the country's nationalized propaganda institutions ensures just that. The government is also legitimized not only by its long history, but also by its ideological treatment of it. The royal family and aristocratic families are classified as clearly superior and are in some cases even fanatically venerated. In particular, the cult of ancestors, which ideologically legitimizes the current government, is an important instrument for maintaining the authoritarian absolute system, by “guiding the current monarch through the history with the help of previous”.[[File:Lionsroar CoA.png|alt=Yellow White Coat of Arms, depicting a lion|thumb|152x152px|Coat of Arms of Lionsroar]] | |||
Currently, the Lowenburg family sits on the golden throne of the rulers of Lionsroar. A time-honored royal family, having a long history of working their way up as chamberlains and advisors to previous kings. They have little economic influence but are able to maintain royal status through clever alliances, clear threats, and of course the instruments in their power protection apparatus. The current head of house is Brahmer von Hochlinden, King of Lionsroar and Prince of Sertingburg, a small but ancient port city in the far north of Lionsroar. However, his power is also restricted and limited by other noble families, such as wealthy entrepreneurs or media presences, who have been able to gain much influence as a result. Leading to a to a politically unstable system with incredibly complicated regional politics. | |||
'''Aristocratic Absolutism''' (also known as Lowenburgish Absolutism) is the Lionsroarian form of an absolute monarchy. The head of the state and the government is always a royal family with an absolute monarch as the current ruler (see here). In the decentralized-chaotic political structure of the monarchical order of Lionsroar, there are a multitude of power structures that have a claim to a higher power. These higher groups (called aristocratic groups, which do not only include the nobility) are the king's task to keep under his control. | |||
== Geography and Climate == | ==Geography and Climate== | ||
Lionsroar is located in the north of Trica and spans over a wide variety of geographic zones. Basically, the geography of Lionsroar can be divided into seven parts. There is the maritime almost tropical climate of the two large islands King's Rock and Northern Rock, the permanently warm and hot climate of the south and interior of the continent, as well as the more temperate zones of the north and west. Lionsroar is divided into 7 political territories, which attract attention with different national borders and natural features. The main point of Lionsroar is the small territory of the west, the Principality of Trastemur, where the capital Loewburg is located. Covering an area of almost 800km², it is home to about 3 million inhabitants, one eight of the total Lionsroarian population. The capital extends from Lion's Bay into the interior of the continent, bordering the western mountain range to the south, the empty plateaus to the west, and the fertile hills and meadows of the country's second territory to the north. At the southernmost point of Lion's Bay lies the large port city of Roarndia, which also serves as the capital for the extensive Southern Territories. The southern part of the country is sparsely populated and borders by the Western and Southern Mountains, but has a rich supply of resources. The climate is always dry, and regular hot spells cause the population to congregate on the tropical beaches facing the bay. To the east lies the border area with Meridian, the West Meridian Province, a politically unstable point, stirred up by periodic uprisings and crises, also in relation to the neighboring state. This territory is economically very string, but politically very diverse and often broken. Due to political developments in the past, there is only a minimal land border with a small exclave of East Meridian, as well as contact with the northern island off Lionsroar. | [[File:Map of Lionsroar.png|alt=Map|thumb|359x359px|Map of Lionsroar]] | ||

In the heart of Lionsroar are the islands of North Rock and King's Rock, which form a trade triangle with the capital. They form the economic and political heart of Lionsroar and can also benefit from various tourist flows using the southern and western parts of the islands, the capital and the northern bay parts of the southern territory. However, these islands also have a history of natural disasters that regularly shake the islands due to their open position to the North Sea. Finally, there is the northern territory of Lionsroar, which looks out over fertile plains and hills. It is the agricultural powerhouse of Lionsroar and supplies all other provinces together. It is politically divided into various small administrative units, but relatively politically stable. It borders the capital to the south, where along the coast into the north, the majority of this most populous province lives. Due to the small administrative units and political history, the fertile plain extends only partially into the continent, where it is cut off from the western mountains in the south and borders on barren steppes and weather areas in the far northwest, which are not inhabited and are not officially included in the border of Lionsroar. | In the heart of Lionsroar are the islands of North Rock and King's Rock, which form a trade triangle with the capital.

Lionsroar's economy is clearly defined and limited by various guidelines and regulations. Lionsroar executes the so-called lionish-regulated economy, a system where smaller companies are completely free and function under capitalism. In addition, these are also little taxed and supported by the state. This serves mainly to calm citizens and to create diversity of the economy, as well as to avoid overwhelming competition for the throne by oligarchs and big businessmen. Despite these measures, there are still larger companies that can intervene dangerously in politics. This stage is characterized by strict economic and financial regulations, high tax rates, nepotism, and a good position in relation to the royal family in order to mitigate the danger. However, due to the high level of bureaucracy and corruption, this can also tip over again. | Lionsroar's economy is clearly defined and limited by various guidelines and regulations.

The industry runs through a wide variety of infrastructure means. A large part runs directly over the water, due to which Lionsroar also has various inland ports and, in the far north, deep-sea ports. Lionsroar has an incredibly large number of forwarding companies that swim around in the difficult waters of the far north. In the individual land areas, are used mainly freight transport by rail. Thus, especially in the manufacture-rich east there is an incredibly high density of rail, while especially in the tourist areas there is less freight traffic. The road system of Lionsroar is expandable, and limiting everywhere except in the capital, with less trade going over the roads as well. | The industry runs through a wide variety of infrastructure means.

Sports in Lionsroar are closely linked to everyday life. Every Lionsroar citizen must be a member of a sports club in order to comply with the new legal parameters for the "Protection of Body and Health" Act. As a result, there are sports clubs in every town and village, mostly multi-sport clubs that combine different sports. The most popular by far is football (also known as soccer), followed by athletics, tennis and many others. The national teams of Lionsroar as well as the players in Lionsroar are often stars and very popular among the population. | |||

Lionsroar has always been a key political player in shaping intercontinental development and cooperation throughout its many centuries of existence. Whether through the countless small states striving to wield their influence as effectively as possible or the continent-shaping superpowers from the bay, such as the Kingdoms or the Northern Lionsroarian Trade Union, every state in the bay area has, in some form, impacted the broader continent. | |||
In modern times, Lionsroar's influence was redefined. The open borders during its era as the Second Democratic Republic shaped the strict foreign policy of the subsequent monarchical regime. Isolation became the order of the day, and until 1992, the entire Lionsroarian territory was sealed off from other nations. During this period, an internal structural revolution took place, transforming the country into an absolutist despotic monarchy. With this internal transformation complete, Lionsroar turned its gaze outward, ready to reengage on the global stage of Trica. | |||

The Your Majesty's Honored Kingdom of the Sapphire Bay of Lionsroar, colloquially known as the Sapphire Archipelago, Regnum Sanctae Maris et Insularum, Lowenburg or simply as Lionsroar, is an absolute monarchy in the North of Trica. They occupy the largest area on the continent, divided into seven different main territories. There is West Meridian, bordering East Meridian in the East, the Southern Mountains with the southernmost point of Lionsroar, a barren and quiet area, the two islands, Northern Rock and King's Rock, with the official capital and important trading ports. To the west lies the larger area of the far north with great fertility and important grain and livestock products, and the politically diverse west of the country with great economic power.
The monarchy is led by an ancient royal family, the Rothmunds, located at the King's Castle in Lowenburg. The country has a high level of administration with vast amounts of bureaucracy to keep the absolute power system running with a monarch. The quality of life is low, the economy is depressed, and the political situation in the outer more remote regions is unstable. Despite all this, there is a large power apparatus of the royal family, consisting of the secret service, police, military, multi-media presence, as well as ideological support from history and the country's various religions. The country also has a rich diversity of species, cultures, and climate as well as geographic features due to the several territories.
The Kingdom has a total land area of 403.916 km² (15,901 pixels), making it the largest nation in the setting. The population of Lionsroar is at 33,6 million with the majority of the people living on the western mainland. The nation is divided into a complex system of counties, duchies, principalities, and other forms of government, reflecting the diverse cultural heritage of the country's history in the form of a unified and partly unstable federal state.
The people of Lionsroar are a mix of different ethnicities and cultures, with influences from the indigenous inhabitants of the islands, as well as immigrants who have arrived over the centuries. The culture of the archipelago is rich and varied, with traditional festivals, music, and art that reflect the unique history and heritage of each island.
The economy of Lionsroar is based mainly on manufacturing, trade, and tourism. The beautiful and artistic towns of Lionsroar, together with its mild oceanic climate, enduring fertility and especially the garden art are major reasons for the country's outstanding tourism. The grand mountains to the West and the rich ore mines to the South are important bases for the Lionsroarian manufacturing set up.
Despite its isolation, the Kingdom of Lionsroar has a long and proud history, and its people are fiercely proud of their culture and heritage. In particular, the great concept of neutrality is upheld in Lionsroar. Tourists are one of the lifelines of the entire economy, and external conflicts should be avoided as a result. Nevertheless, there is also a darker side to the state. The class-based social system, the absolutist monarchy and the democratic past triggered an economic and civil crisis that has yet to be resolved. The erasure of historical relics, the attack on the proud culture of Lionsroar and much more in the democratic period have left the federal states of the country in an unstable political situation.
Government
Lionsroar as a kingdom is an absolute monarchy, headed by a monarch in a ruling family. A tradition that has existed for several centuries, and despite political developments in recent years, especially in the direction of democratic and socialist movements, remained established and guided the destiny of the citizens as the used system of government. Such a system with a single person includes a huge amount of bureaucracy and coordination that makes up the state system. Corruption, mistakes, and just the bureaucracy and lack of coordination are always occurring problems and keep the quality of life low. Despite all this and political and economic problems and divison, the government is firmly in the saddle; the long years of civil war and serious economic mistakes made by smaller regional democratic and socialist constituent states ensure that the government has broad support, which will not subside in the coming years. A pronounced media presence for the crown prince in the country's nationalized propaganda institutions ensures just that. The government is also legitimized not only by its long history, but also by its ideological treatment of it. The royal family and aristocratic families are classified as clearly superior and are in some cases even fanatically venerated. In particular, the cult of ancestors, which ideologically legitimizes the current government, is an important instrument for maintaining the authoritarian absolute system, by “guiding the current monarch through the history with the help of previous”.
Currently, the Lowenburg family sits on the golden throne of the rulers of Lionsroar. A time-honored royal family, having a long history of working their way up as chamberlains and advisors to previous kings. They have little economic influence but are able to maintain royal status through clever alliances, clear threats, and of course the instruments in their power protection apparatus. The current head of house is Brahmer von Hochlinden, King of Lionsroar and Prince of Sertingburg, a small but ancient port city in the far north of Lionsroar. However, his power is also restricted and limited by other noble families, such as wealthy entrepreneurs or media presences, who have been able to gain much influence as a result. Leading to a to a politically unstable system with incredibly complicated regional politics.
Aristocratic Absolutism (also known as Lowenburgish Absolutism) is the Lionsroarian form of an absolute monarchy. The head of the state and the government is always a royal family with an absolute monarch as the current ruler (see here). In the decentralized-chaotic political structure of the monarchical order of Lionsroar, there are a multitude of power structures that have a claim to a higher power. These higher groups (called aristocratic groups, which do not only include the nobility) are the king's task to keep under his control.
Geography and Climate
Lionsroar is located in the north of Trica and spans over a wide variety of geographic zones. Basically, the geography of Lionsroar can be divided into seven parts. There is the maritime almost tropical climate of the two large islands King's Rock and Northern Rock, the permanently warm and hot climate of the south and interior of the continent, as well as the more temperate zones of the north and west. Lionsroar is divided into 7 political territories, which attract attention with different national borders and natural features. The main point of Lionsroar is the small territory of the west, the Principality of Trastemur, where the capital Loewburg is located. Covering an area of almost 800km², it is home to about 3 million inhabitants, one eight of the total Lionsroarian population. The capital extends from Lion's Bay into the interior of the continent, bordering the western mountain range to the south, the empty plateaus to the west, and the fertile hills and meadows of the country's second territory to the north. At the southernmost point of Lion's Bay lies the large port city of Roarndia, which also serves as the capital for the extensive Southern Territories. The southern part of the country is sparsely populated and borders by the Western and Southern Mountains, but has a rich supply of resources. The climate is always dry, and regular hot spells cause the population to congregate on the tropical beaches facing the bay and on the eastern river facing to the Pendragon. To the east lies the border area with Meridian, the West Meridian Province, a politically unstable point, stirred up by periodic uprisings and crises, also in relation to the neighboring state. This territory is economically very string, but politically very diverse and often broken. Due to political developments in the past, there is only a minimal land border with a small exclave of East Meridian, as well as contact with the northern island off Lionsroar.
At the same time, there is also a so far neutral relationship with the Saturn Republic. Connected by the great Meridian Forest and trade restrictions, such as electricity and raw materials, both are dependent on each other and therefore evaluate each other more positively.
In the heart of Lionsroar are the islands of North Rock and King's Rock, which form a trade triangle with the capital. They form the economic and political heart of Lionsroar and can also benefit from various tourist flows using the southern and western parts of the islands, the capital and the northern bay parts of the southern territory. However, these islands also have a history of natural disasters that regularly shake the islands due to their open position to the North Sea. Finally, there is the northern territory of Lionsroar, which looks out over fertile plains and hills. It is the agricultural powerhouse of Lionsroar and supplies all other provinces together. It is politically divided into various small administrative units, but relatively politically stable. It borders the capital to the south, where along the coast into the north, the majority of this most populous province lives. Due to the small administrative units and political history, the fertile plain extends only partially into the continent, where it is cut off from the western mountains in the south and borders on barren steppes and weather areas in the far northwest, which are not inhabited and are not officially included in the border of Lionsroar.

This serves mainly to calm citizens and to create diversity of the economy, as well as to avoid overwhelming competition for the throne by oligarchs and big businessmen. Despite these measures, there are still larger companies that can intervene dangerously in politics. This stage is characterized by strict economic and financial regulations, high tax rates, nepotism, and a good position in relation to the royal family in order to mitigate the danger. However, due to the high level of bureaucracy and corruption, this can also tip over again.
One of the points mentioned above are oligarchs and big businessmen, who usually make it into the aristocracy through artificial success and thus have great political influence.
Due to the diverse geographical distribution, Lionsroar also has different types of industries. The strongest is the manufacturing industry, which is mainly located in the east of the country in the province of West Meridian. This is mainly due to the high population in the east, as well as the technically advanced country Saturn Republic. Lionsroar is also a very large producer of various raw materials, especially natural gas and coal, which they also export abroad. Another point in the production sector is agriculture, which is located in the northwest of the country. It is almost not calculated for export, but for the supply in Lionsroar itself. And the last big industry is tourism and accompanying services, which are mainly in the west, the two islands and the far south.
This economy also requires a lot of energy, which is mainly found in the east of the country. For example, West Meridian is home to the Bruck-Stein and North Coast Nuclear Power (NCNP) plants, which provide much of the energy supply for the east, but also export a lot of electricity to neighboring countries. However, the most used type of power generation is gas, which is found in the great North Sea off Lionsroar. It powers the north and center, as well as much of the capital to the west. In the south, in the tourist areas, there are also experimental other types, mainly of renewable energy, such as hydropower, solar power, wind power and ocean currents. Ultimately, however, coal power is also very large in the mountainous south.
These companies in the east also produce a lot of various wastes that need to be disposed of as well. There are official collection sites for paper, glass, clothes and plastic, as well as other electrical appliances. Paper and glass are melted and incinerated, while plastic is mainly transported abroad to poorer countries. Items such as electrical appliances are used for a longer period of time and are completely recycled. The various smaller stores in the economy also serve this purpose, while the larger manufacturers in the east mainly export.
The industry runs through a wide variety of infrastructure means. A large part runs directly over the water, due to which Lionsroar also has various inland ports and, in the far north, deep-sea ports. Lionsroar has an incredibly large number of forwarding companies that swim around in the difficult waters of the far north. In the individual land areas, are used mainly freight transport by rail. Thus, especially in the manufacture-rich east there is an incredibly high density of rail, while especially in the tourist areas there is less freight traffic. The road system of Lionsroar is expandable, and limiting everywhere except in the capital, with less trade going over the roads as well.

Foreign Affairs
Lionsroar has always been a key political player in shaping intercontinental development and cooperation throughout its many centuries of existence. Whether through the countless small states striving to wield their influence as effectively as possible or the continent-shaping superpowers from the bay, such as the Kingdoms or the Northern Lionsroarian Trade Union, every state in the bay area has, in some form, impacted the broader continent.
In modern times, Lionsroar's influence was redefined. The open borders during its era as the Second Democratic Republic shaped the strict foreign policy of the subsequent monarchical regime. Isolation became the order of the day, and until 1992, the entire Lionsroarian territory was sealed off from other nations. During this period, an internal structural revolution took place, transforming the country into an absolutist despotic monarchy. With this internal transformation complete, Lionsroar turned its gaze outward, ready to reengage on the global stage of Trica.
