Zacapican, formally the Red Banner Tribual (Nahuatl: Panchichiltic Tlahtoloyan), is an Imperial Federation located in southern Oxidentale, bordering Kayahallpa to the north. It is a constitutional monarchy in which power is shared between the monarchic Huetlatoani (lit. "Great Speaker", equivalent to the title of "Emperor") or the female equivalent Cihuahuetlatoani and the corresponding parliamentary authorities of the Popular Assembly which are the triumvirate formed by the Chief Secretary and the two House speakers. The wider Zacapine government is organized as a federation of city states called Atlepetl, each formally ruled by a figurehead Tlatoani lord while the operations of the focal city, satellite towns and rural communities is generally left to the Calpolli, which function as democratic council governments in towns or wards within a city. Atlepetl tier governments therefore mirror the federal tier government with a hereditary noble executive balanced against a popular assembly, derived from nationwide voting districts on the federal level and from Calpolli representatives at the state level. Zacapican is therefore considered to be a developed country with a diverse composition of agriculture, manufacturing and service industries. Zacapican is the third largest economy in Oxidentale, behind the economic powerhouses of Mutul and Sante Reze in northern Oxidentale. (See more...)
