Principality of Lorenda

The Principality of Lorenda is a country surrounded on 3 sides by coastlines. Lorenda's population number 27.6 million residents, of which 27.35 million are Lorendan nationals. Currently, the nation's capital and largest city is Sahae.

The Principality of Lorenda's origins date back as far as the early 3rd century, with the establishment of the Gwan dynasty. Much of the nation's structure is still reminiscient of the past dynasties, such as the stratified social class system, civil service examinations, and government structure. The political ideology subscribed to today is known as Lorendan divinism, which states that the Great King is a prophet

The main religion in Lorenda is Seok-geum, a shamanistic and polytheistic religion that holds stringent moral and worshipping standards. The gods' representative in the flesh is considered to be the Great King, whose position has been tied to this belief for nearly a millennium.

Government
The Lorendan government derives its power from the authority of the Great King and their ruling family. The Jin family is the current ruling family of Lorenda, with the House of Jin being the royal household of the family. The Government of his Kingship serves as the political representation of the Great King, consisting of the national bureaucracy, administrative agencies, and the royal cabinet. The King's Cabinet is simultaneously co-led by a prime minister and the crown prince, operating on the direction of the monarch, with ministers and top advisors making up the rest of the cabinet.

The unicameral legislature is the Jang-ro State Council, consisting of 307 lords making up the 87 gu's (districts) of Lorenda. The number of representatives per gu is put into place by the House of Jin. The body mainly serves as a policy advisory body to the Great King, yet they possess a limited level of autonomy. The legislature can vote on proposals and dictate portions of policy with the consent of the monarchy, yet the Great King has the supreme word with all national policy matters.

There are three levels of courts in the Lorendan system: the district courts, the provincial courts, and the Court of the Sovereign. There had been specialist religious courts which enforces Seok-geum principles and loyalty, yet these are being phased out to allow for a more free practice of faiths. The Court of the Sovereign is the supreme court of the land, and is sometimes the court of first instance. Critics say this violates the right to a free trial. Lord justices are appointed by the Privy Council of the Judiciary under the Government of his Kingship, and the court is led by a Lord Chief Justice.

Foreign Affairs
The Principality of Lorenda is currently relatively isolationist, with very few international relationships. However, the nation has opened up more to international trade and politics, in order to keep the country afloat.
