Etymology
The area of Lemovicia was the named after the Lemovices, a Tenic tribe inhabiting the present-day region of Lemovicia at the time of the Solarian Empire. The name of the Lemovices derive from the term lemo, meaning elm, and vices, meaning "those who win," which indicates that the Lemovices meant "winners with elm," due to their weaponry being made of elm.

Geography

Climate
Economy
For much of Lemovicia's history, the economy of the area was largely based off of agriculture, with fertile valleys along the shores of Lake Coi and the rivers emptying into Lake Coi helping provide the area with much of their income. While forestry was significant, by the eighteenth century, much of the primeval forests had been cut down.
However, with the discovery of coal and iron, the economy of Lemovicia shifted as these materials were vital for the industrialization of certain countries, especially of Gaullica, which Lemovicia was part of at the time.
(TBC)
Lemovicia uses the euclo. Prior to the adoption of the euclo, it used the Lemovician canek (₵).
Politics
Monarchy
The official executive of Lemovicia is the monarch (Gaullican: roi, Lemovician: rik). According to the Constitution of Lemovicia, the monarch is to be a ceremonial position, with the monarch serving as head of state.
The monarch is an elective monarchy, with the new monarch elected from among the Téina ken. The most recent monarchical succession was in 1976, when Oin Maruari died, and was succeeded by his nephew, Lúkás Mahoin, who has continued his reign to this day.
Legislature
The legislative body of Lemovicia is known as the Máisamu.
The upper house is the Chamber of the Clans (Gaullican: Chambre des clans, Lemovician: Téina ken), whose members are all heads of the 53 recognized Lemovician clans. It is headed by the Lemovician Rik.
The lower house of the Máisamu is the Chamber of the People (Gaullican: Chambre populaire, Lemovician: Téina tóf), which is elected every four years since its establishment in 1979, and comprises of five hundred elected members. As of 2019, the current head of the House of the People, and the current Or is Jean-Pierre Baillairgé.
Lemovicia is a two-party system, with the left-wing Workers Party and the right-wing Cingeth being represented in both chambers of the Máisamu.
Legal system
As a former part of the Solarian Empire, Lemovician law is heavily based off of Solarian law, with it being greatly influenced by civil law as applied to Gaullica.
Following its independence, Lemovician law was heavily influenced by national syndicalist principles, with the legal system being used to justify totalitarianism under the rule of Oin Maruari. After Oin's death in 1976, these policies have been removed, and now, there is very little national syndicalist influence on Lemovician laws remaining in effect.
(TBC)
Administrative divisions
Lemovicia is divided into 53 ranfrói (Gaullican: région, pl. ranfróis), covering the entire country. While it has been claimed that the ranfrói were the original territories of the 53 clans, the current ranfrói borders were only drawn up in 1937 by the Lemovician Chamber of the Clans, with many ranfrói, particularly in the northeast never having been inhabited by the clans.
