General
Nulkia is bordered three-fifth by seas (Calligian Sea, Sea of the Great Kings, and the Sacred Lucius Bay) and is bordered two-fifth by a land boundary in the north of the country. The Majestic Realm of Linkin Nights is a neighbor of Nulkia.
The Royal capital city is Felixcity, situated on the Crown River which rises in the Fulkia Mountain and flows into the Calligian Sea.
Nulkia mainland is composed by 5 Provinces: the North (Nightfall), the South (Sunray), the Stormland (Holyhell), the Vale (Oltenburg, its ancient and historical capital was Valya) and finally the Sovaland(Felixcity, its former capital was Sovacity), which is also part of the royal domain.
History
The unification of the 5 neighbouring countries today known as Provinces took place on March 11th, 1531 with the Nulkian Sacred Union, which is the founding treaty of the Sovereign Realm of Nulkia.
The first King of Nulkia was HM Felix of the Royal House of Nulkia-Sova from Sovacity, the first of his name and was elected by the 5 Lords Paramount today known as Wardens.
The city of Felixcity was founded around 1600 by King Matthew Ist of Nulkia-Sova, son of Felix I. , and was named in the latter's honour.
Geography
The Sovereign Realm of Nulkia composed of a lot of different territories, constituted under several different names.
They are led by a 'Warden', i.e. a Lord Paramount, under the direct order of the King.
They are delegated a lot of civil powers, especially for the police, education, culture... and they have their proper budget.
They are all divided in several Lands, ruled by Land Lords such as Dukes, Marquis/Marquess, Counts/Earls, Viscounts, or Barons.
The Territories
The Principality of Yoner has its own constitution and a very reinforced autonomy. The island was discovered in 1468 and taken by Nulkia in 1533. It is today ruled by Prince Tim I.
The Shining Land is a Territory organized as a republic, headed by a 'Territorial President' who is currently President for Life John Sohn.
The Protectorates
Nulkia is represented there by a 'Resident Commissioner' or a 'State Councillor'.
E.g. since the 28 April 2020, the Emirate of Salardan* is a protectorate of Nulkia, being led by Prince (Emir) Nader Khamenei I with the assistance of the Nulkian State Councillor for Salardan Ser Joseph van Helle.
The Dominions
They often enjoy a fairly large degree of internal autonomy, in the manner of the 5 Provinces of the mainland of Nulkia, but have statutes that can vary greatly from one Dominion to another.
They are often led by a Vassal Monarch (King, Prince, Marquess, Lord...), a Dominion's President, or a Dominion's Council (in a directorial regime).
The King of Nulkia is always represented there by a Governor or a Governor General.
4 of them (the most populated) send 1 Senator to the Nulkian Parliament.
The Crown Dependencies
They are part of the Royal Domain, along with the Province of the Sovaland and the Royal Palaces/Castles.
As per the Fundamental Laws of the Sovaland (of which the King is the ruler), the Royal Domain shall never be lost or sold, on the contrary of the King's Domain which can be sold/bought/exchanged by Royal Edict or as a dowry for a wedding.
However, Felixcity and Sovacity are both led by an elected Council to which the King has delegated some powers. In Felixcity it is called the County Council, and in Sovacity the City Council.
Both the marquisates are ruled by Bailiffs representing the Crown.
The Military Governorates
They are usually headed by a general officer of the Land Force or Royal Navy, depending on the armies stationed on the spot and the situation.
Their purpose is usually to prepare the transition to a more stable regime after a conflict, or to create a Dominion afterwards.
For example, when the Salardan Kingdom* fell, it became a Military Governorate ruled by the coalition led by Nulkia and the Grand Myhtral, before being divided in 2 parts, among which is the Salardan Emirate* (see "The Protectorates").
*Salardan Kingdom and Salardan Emirate refer to a NPC nation from the regional roleplay of the LKE (see the forum>Stories of the LKE>World of the LKE).
