Draakur, officially the Dominion of Draakur, is a component realm of the United Kingdom of Ottonia. As of May 1 2022, it is the sole remaining component realm of the UKO and its territory is coterminal with the United Kingdom's.
History
Geography & Climate
Draakur is an archipelago consisting of 11 islands, with an additional two "outlying" islands that are not part of the archipelago proper but are politically-united with the others. The islands are typically organized according to their size and proximity, with the three largest islands typically referred to as the "principle islands" of Draakur, the eight nearest in proximity to them referred to as the "minor home islands", and the two distant ones as the "outlying islands."
Geologically, the eleven home islands are part of the Belisarian continent; in addition to residing on the Belisarian plate, these islands actually reside on a protrusion of the Belisarian continental shelf, resulting in relatively shallow seas. The outlying islands are oceanic, volcanic in origin although they are at-present inactive.
The three principal islands of Draakur are, from west to east:
The eight minor home islands are (north to south, grouped west to east):
- Nordraakur (North-most)
- Tortukolm (North, between Fentyera & Gran Draakur)
- E'figlante (Directly north of Grennhulm)
- Tebrona (South, between Gran Draakur & Grennhulm)
- Ref'ye (South, large island east of Gran Draakur)
- Is'Ramoa (immediately north of Refuye)
- Laportunda (directly south of Gran Draakur)
- Puetarenke (southwest of Gran Draakur)
The two outlying islands are:
- Eltatira
- Vendimeno
Politics
South Ottonia was nominally a constitutional executive monarchy, in which the monarchs of the House of Sproek-Kristhulm act as the heads of the armed forces and national police forces, charged with enforcing laws. Legislative authority was mostly vested in the unicameral legislature, the Royal Senate.
Since March of 2022, the country has been under the administration of the Emergency Transitional Administration, headed by Stevan Grimmeburger, following the South Ottonian Revolution and the subsequent Flight to Draakur. Although ruling in the name of the Storkeneg, the ETA largely governs as it sees fit, and has embarked on a number of dramatic reforms following the UKO's collapse on the mainland.
Government
Emergency Transitional Administration
In the immediate aftermath of the South Ottonian Revolution, the government and its loyalists evacuated to the islands of Draakur, which had largely escaped the violent uprising which swept the rest of the country due to independent actions taken by the military governors of the islands, including the promise of reforms demanded by protestors. When the subsequent arrival of the UKO's government in the Flight to Draakur threatened a relapse in regards to public order, the military authorities on the island insisted on a provisional government to oversee the process of relocating the UKO's government and military onto Draakur, as well as implementing the reforms needed to prevent further violence.
Part of the process of implementing the Emergency Transitional Administration involved the abdication of Storkeneg Rodrik I in favor of his son, Vitus, who in turn named Draakur's former deputy governor, Stevan Grimmeburger the Director of the ETA. The ETA includes Grimmeburger, who reports to the Storkeneg, as well as an assortment of civil servants and administrators, tasked with restructuring the government and consolidating Draakur as the sole remaining territory of the UKO, as well as the drafting and issuance of a new governing charter.
