Acratania, officially The Kingdom of Acratania (Acratanién: Le Royôme d'Acratànie; is an kingdom on the Victorium continent. Acratania is bordered by X to the east, X to the west, and X to the north. Via its oversea holdings, Acratania borders X and X.
Acratania is divided into 9 duchies, which are further divided into a total of 127 counties. The 9 duchies are: Artesmia, Aubernia, Bessinia, Chartesnia, Dumaria, Faurinia, Medesnia, Vallinia and Vautrinia
Its citizens enjoy a high standard of living allowed by a developed mixed economy, of which many aspects are controlled directly or indirectly by the government. Although it was a de facto planned economy during the Civil War, the Kingdom’s private sector grew in strength during the postwar decades; it represents about 60-70% of the national product in the early 2010s. Savam is rapidly closing on nations in terms of technological development.
History

Government
Main article: Politics of Acratania
Acratania is a de facto limited monarchy, which has legal limits placed upon the king despite a lack of a formal constitution. In practice, the king's power is constrained by the General Parliament and the judicial system, though the existence of both is determined by acts of royal law rather than a constitution, and thus could theoretically be retracted by the monarch at any time. As such, the King of Acratania retains significant executive and legislative powers. Acratania's throne, unlike most monarchies, is not passed on by heredity. Since the 17th century, upon the demise of a sitting king, the next king is chosen by the Ducal Council, composed of the leaders of Acratania's nine duchies.
The Privy Council is Acratania's primary executive body. It is headed by the king, who serves as both head of state and head of government in Acratania. It is composed of various appointed officials who manage the various executive departments established by the king. In practice, the chief executive in Acratania is the First Minister of State, who serves as the leader of the Privy Council and handles the day-to-day management of the executive branch based on the direction of the monarch. No approval process exists for the appointment of Privy Council ministers, but tradition dictates that Privy Council ministers be chosen from within the General Parliament due to their experience.
Legislative power rests largely with the king, who can pass and repeal acts of royal law at any time, but a fair amount of legislative authority rests with the General Parliament. The Parliament is a bicameral legislature, composed of the Baronial Council (the upper house) and the National Assembly (the lower house). The Baronial Council is composed of members of the nobility, while the National Assembly is elected every seven years. Since 1919, only members of the National Traditional Party may hold seats in the National Assembly. Baronial Council members are not required to be NTP members, and most choose to not to affiliate themselves with the party.

Main article: Dawinian Armed Forces
Military tradition has a long established history in Acratania. The current royal army was founded the same year as the Kingdom (1104), and underwent its large major reorganisation in the region. It is currently divided between the Royal Army, the Royal Navy, the Royal Airforce, the Royal Aerospace Division (an Airforce’s offshout), the Royal Militia (a military police force with civilian law-enforcement capabilities) and the Royal Guard (both a ceremonial and special operations rapid reaction force). The military’s four main branches (army, navy, airforce and militia) are further divided into metropolitan and colonial corps. At any moment of the year, enlisted soldiers from all branches including both conscripts and career soldiers, totals approximately 3.17 million.
