The Triumvirate, officially The Canterian Federation, is a Federation formed between the countries of Prybourne, Kilowatt, and Velnotia on Anteria. Nominally a union of sovereign states, it is overseen by a representational legislature, with Monarush, Kilowatt as it's capital. Its diverse population is collectively known the Canterian people. It is the largest block on the continent of Thuadia and is one of the oldest and most influential on the planet.

History

Princeps Director Louis Marchal
Grand Nagus Aya Leñero
Grand Marshal Darius Teodorescu
Princeps Director Louis Marchal, Grand Nagus Aya Leñero, and Grand Marshal Darius Teodorescu were the chief architects of the Canterian Federation.

The region comprising modern-day Prybourne, Kilowatt, and Velnotia served as the capital region of Canteria within the larger Canterian Empire from the 14th century until 1787. During this period, the Empire faced significant challenges from separatist movements and anti-imperialist unrest. In an effort to address these issues, the Empire underwent reforms and relinquished many of its overseas territories, leading to the establishment of the Canter Republic under the Concord of Wreaths in 1787. Despite these changes, Canteria continued to experience internal turmoil. In September 1830, a coup took place in the middle regions and capital, leading to the formation of the new state of Velnotia. This event resulted in the division of the country, with both the upper and lower territories claiming the direct succession of the Canter Republic's government. Lower Canteria was recognized as an independent state, while the upper territories seceded and established the new state of Kilowatt on July 14, 1863.

The Canter Republic, reduced to a rump state, faced further weakening until its complete dissolution in 1890. Following a victorious Civil War, the rebelling forces established the new state of Prybourne. Despite their separate political entities, Kilowatt, Velnotia, and Prybourne maintained strong relationships due to their shared Canterian heritage. In 1900, formal commerce and diplomatic relations were established, generating interest in re-establishing a closer bond among the three nations. This aspiration came to fruition in 1907 with the political union of Kilowatt and Prybourne, known as the "Grand Party Alliance." In 1913, Velnotia joined the union, leading to the federalization of the Grand Party Alliance. The new political entity was named the Canterian Federation, and it was officially constituted in September of that same year under the Federal Council. The Canterian Federation aimed to solidify and strengthen the ties between Kilowatt, Velnotia, and Prybourne, marking an important milestone in their shared history.

Government

There are three powers hierarchies in the Triumvirate: the legislature represented by the Federal Council of the Triumvirate, the governments each represented by the Triumvirs, and the Federal Defense Force.

Triumvirs

The highest authority within the Triumvirate is reserved to the national leaders in each country. The Grand Nagus of Prybourne, Princeps Director of Kilowatt, and Grand Marshal of Velnotia are all referred to as the Triumvirs within the federation and are considered the highest officials in the federation. While the Triumvirs do not assume direct control over the federation, the job of the Speaker, the Triumvirs lead and direct federation policy through a general consensus with each other which is collected by the speaker and relayed back to the Federal Council. The Triumvir are also the ones who appoint members to the Federal Council of the Triumvirate and reserve the right to call sessions and typically take precedence when present within the chamber.

Speaker

Current Archiater of the Federal Council, Marinela Rosetti, from Velnotia

The Speaker of the Federal Council, known as the Archiater, is a position voted for by representatives in the Federal Council on a yearly basis. The Archiater is the chair and presiding officer of the Federal Council. The role of Archiater is described as combining the functions and responsibilities of an advocate, diplomat, civil servant, and CEO. The routine duties include overseeing the activities and duties of the Federal Council, consulting with the Triumvirs, government officials, and traveling in between the triumvirate countries to engage with constituents and bring attention to certain international issues. The Archiater also publishes an annual report on the work of the Federal Council, which includes an assessment of its activities and an outline future priorities. Should there be a stalemate in the Federal Council, the Speaker can break the tie if called upon by the triumvirs to do so.

The Archiater rotates between the three countries every five years and is appointed by the Federal Council upon the recommendation of the member countries leader and approval.
