| Geography and Politics of Perinia:
“Perinia” consists of two large islands which are referred to as the Greater and Lesser Perinia. Greater Perinia is approximately 700 miles long and ranges from about two hundred miles wide at its greatest to one hundred miles wide at its narrowest. The southern half of the island is the Kingdom of Alsandria while the northern half is the Kingdom of Plymond. Lesser Perinia is separated from Greater Perinia by approximately seventy to one hundred miles of sea. With the exception of a small portion which has been held by Plymond, the entire island of Lesser Perinia constitutes the Kingdom of Aloen.
All three nations carry the title “Kingdom” in a more-or-less vestigial sense. Alsandria has been a democratic republic for nearly two hundred years and have a President as Executive, a system of appointed Magistrates, and a bicameral legislature consisting of a Senate and a House of Representatives. The Citizens of Alsandria are guaranteed liberal democratic rights and privileges similar to those of the current EU countries or the USA. Plymond and Aloen are Constitutional Monarchies with legislative power placed in a House of Lords and a House of Commons for each. Magistrates are appointed or elected by various rules and regulations.
Though there are occasional outbreaks of hostility between the three nations, no full ‘war’ has erupted within the last forty years. There is no immediate reason to believe one will occur in the near future.
Like all aspects of the three nations, transportation within each country and between countries is highly developed including highways, trains, airplanes, and boats. Leaving one nation and entering another requires proper documentation such as a passport. |
