Waldrich, officially the Waldish Confederation, is a sovereign state in northern Teleon. It lies between the Glacian Ocean to the north, the Waldish Gulf to the east, and the River Fen to the south and west. The nation shares borders with Valduvia to the west and Widdalia to the south. Kingsham is Waldrich's capital and largest city, with other major cities including Hovberg, Fenmouth, Strandhaven, and Jarlsvik. With a population of approximately 44.8 million and a total area of approximately X square kilometers, Waldrich is the 3rd most populous and 4th largest nation in Teleon.
Waldrich is governed as a federal parliamentary constitutional elective monarchy. The nation is divided into 14 states, which retain substantial autonomy over their internal affairs from the federal government. The Foresitter, currently Algar II, is an elected monarch chosen by the Waldish nobility and serves as the nation's head of state. The Lawspeaker, currently Clifford Goodwin of the Farmers' Party, serves as head of government in a role analogous to that of prime minister. While the Foresitter retains substantial reserve powers under the Constitution of Waldrich, all executive power is de facto vested in the Lawspeaker, with the monarch primarily serving in a ceremonial role as a figurehead. The nation's legislature, the Bondmoot, is a bicameral body consisting of an upper house, the Landsthing, and a lower house, the Folksthing. Legislation may originate in either house, with the Folksthing holding the additional power of forming and maintaining a government.
