Government and Politics

The government of the Divine Realm of Roqoo primarily functions similar to that of an absolute monarchy, with absolute powers granted to the sovereign. In Roqoo, the sovereign, or head of state, holds the title of Candar, a term borrowed from that of the historic leader of the state Solleu Livot religion. The Candar is elected by a council of Livoti elders for a lifetime appointment. Administrative and legislative functions of the government are largely handled through the Hurskaat (lit. pious ones), a commission of five appointed individuals, all of whom are primate leaders of the Solleu Livot faith. The Hurskaat consists of the Kansleri and four additional calibops appointed by the Candar to five-year terms.

Calendar

The Roquanian calendar is a solar calendar used in Roqoo. The original Roquanian calendar is one of the oldest documents maintained in the Canfre Vaults and has received little revision since its inception. A a solar calendar consisting of 365 days divided into eleven 30-day months and five 7-day festival weeks.

The customary date format is two write day followed by the two- or three-letter abbreviation depicting the month or festival week, followed by two digit year [DD/MMM/YY]]. This format was adopted to clarify differences in dates of the national calendar versus those of the international standard calendar of Eurth.

The Roquan calendar was established by Solleu Livot calibop, Radana, several hundred years ago as a means to track the mild climate of Roqoo and align Livoti rituals and traditional festivals with that of the Roquanian government.
