Nation: Auroralara
Leader: The Luminary Sovereign, Elara Cadence
Government Style: Elective Monarchy with Meritocratic Councils

Geography and Location

Auroralara is located in a mountainous region along the northern stretch of the Rocky Mountains. Its landscape includes vast pine forests, crystalline alpine lakes, and mineral-rich mountains, earning it the nickname "The Shimmering Realm." The capital city, Solentara, is built into the side of a mountain, blending seamlessly with nature through terraces and crystal-embedded structures.

Government

Auroralara operates as an Elective Monarchy, where the monarch, known as the Luminary Sovereign, is chosen not by bloodline but through a combination of public acclaim and council deliberation. The ruler serves for life but can be peacefully removed by a council vote if deemed unfit.

The government is supported by two major councils:

1. The Council of Minds: Composed of scholars, scientists, and philosophers, focusing on education, innovation, and diplomacy.
2. The Guild Assembly: Representing workers, merchants, and artisans, it oversees trade, infrastructure, and public welfare.

Elections for council positions are held every six years, with eligibility based on expertise rather than wealth or popularity.

History

The roots of Auroralara trace back to the 18th century, when a coalition of Indigenous nations, disenfranchised settlers, and runaway indentured workers sought refuge from colonial powers in the unclaimed mountain regions. These groups formed a confederation based on mutual respect and resource sharing.

By the 1820s, Auroralara declared itself an independent nation, adopting a philosophy centered on balance—between humanity and nature, progress and tradition.
