Elesar

Elesar (: Елесарь, Elesar’), or the Elesarian Empire (Elesarian: Елесарська імперія,  Elesars’ka imperiya) is a country in Eastern Vesperia. To the west, Elesar borders Granzery, Ordia, and Kossaria, while to the north it borders Gorbatov and Stasnov. To the east, it shares a border with Dagelia. Since the overthrow of the communist government in 1974 and the subsequent restoration of the monarchy in 1976, Elesar has been a, as well as a founding member of the Véragyőr Security Organization. Elesar is divided into 15 administrative regions, each of which is further subdivided into anywhere between 2 to 13 additional divisions. A large portion of the nation's land is well suited for farming, and it has been referred to by many as the "Breadbasket of Vesperia" due to the agricultural output of these lands.

Government
Elesar is a unitary constitutional monarchy, and has been since the restoration of the monarchy on March 18th, 1976 following a referendum by the interim government after the fall of communism. The unicameral government, known as the Rada, is elected every five years. The prime minister is selected from amongst the leadership of the winning party or coalition by the Emperor. The Emperor himself holds considerable political power, however, and has not only the ability to approve or deny the ratification of laws, but is also able to submit laws. However, laws submitted by the Emperor cannot be approved or denied by the throne and must instead be approved or denied by the Rada.

The Rada consists of 450 seats and is headed by the Prime Minister, who also serves as Chairman of the Rada. The Prime Minister's primary duties as Chairman are to submit laws and motions for Imperial approval, and likewise to introduce Imperial laws to the floor. The Chairman is also responsible for any potential dissolution of the Rada per the request of the Emperor.
