Eburon, officially The Most Serene Republic of Eburon (Eburonian: De Serene Republiek Eburon), is an anarchistic republic in Veterra. Lying off the north-western coast of the Veterran mainland, it includes the island of Eburon, the island of Nirix and many smaller islands. Eburon is surrounded by the Danonian Ocean, with the Lysenium Sea to its east, the Mauros Channel to its south and the Crystal Sea to its southwest. The Nirix Channel lies between Eburon and Nirix. Eburon has an estimated population of 49 million. Eburon also has a small colony on the Astros Island, two protectorates that are completely self-governing, namely: Ushiela and Pithythrae, and helps to maintain a wildlife reserve in Lilotuka Island on Balituka Island.
Eburon has entered the Empire of the Trident in 1870 and currently acts as a judge in the Imperial Court of Justice.
History
The name "Eburon" comes from "Eburo" meaning Taxus(-tree). The name was given to the island by the Tungri tribe in northern Veterra when they migrated to the island around 2400 BC. In the following century the Tungri founded settlements all across the islands. Around the 17th century BC the first city-states arose. The population continued to grow which lead to the founding of the Amorian League in 1038 BC to manage the resources and legislation of the many city-states. These city-states developed in peace for the next 1,5 millennium until they came in contact with the Hellian empire.
In 734 the Hellian empire claimed the Eburonian Islands as an constituent country. The Amorian League saw value in protection by the Hellian army and continued to act as the de facto government, keeping the city-states united.
Governance
Eburon is an anarchistic republic and a direct democracy. Note that, since Eburon is an anarchy, no decisions made by the following organizations are binding.
The States-General is the highest political body, concerned with international relations and the distribution of resources between the provinces. It's forum is located in Amoras. Each province is led by its own States-Provincial who further distributes resources between the municipalities. The States-Provincial have there forums in the city-state of their province. The municipalities each have there own States-Municipal, the most local political body. Their forums are mostly located in a central area of the municipality. Any Eburonian citizen can participate in the multiple democratic bodies of the nation and people have the right to speak at any forum. Traditionally citizens gain experience on the more local forums for a few years before participating in the States-Provincial and States-General. The traditional age to start participating is 17 although there have been multiple younger people who have achieved great things.
