| - The Hegemonic Federation of Vorancia (Commonly: Vorancia; High Vorancian: Federatae Hegemonae Vorancia) is a sovereign state that exists on the island of the same name in the North Atlantic Ocean, and is an island state composed of a single main island surrounded by three smaller islands. Vorancia is a hegemonic federation with a government based on the unity of various smaller entities within the country dominated by the single most powerful entity. The nation is divided into fifteen Famaelen which are quasi-independent entities organized on a tribal-like system which is unified by the presence of a central government in the independent city of Dreipassen. The famaelen are organized into a Consaen which administers the nations foreign affairs, military, and common law systems. Each famaelen has equal representation on the consaen based on their proportionate population. The current system of government was established in 1756 after the War of the Vornefluess caused thousands of deaths and high reconstruction expenses to cripple the economy of the nation. The clans of what is now known as Old Vorancia met in Dreipassen to establish the first consaen, and with it the model of government followed into the contemporary period. Before that, each famaelen existed as its own separate entity without any form of national government to administer the entirety of the nation. The country's economy is developed to meet modern standards on some levels of its functionality. Vorancia is an industrialized nation with a capitalist economic system based domestically rather than relying on global trade, though it continues to have a moderately sized trade surplus. The economy is generally centered on secondary economic activities on modern development and economic standards. Vorancia's largest exports are industrial and consumer manufactured goods with the preceding resources having been supplied within the country, and it also remains a self sufficient nation by means of social, financial, and personal civilian needs. Vorancia has neutral relations with many nations internationally, and it is considered to be a highly isolated country. It is not apart of the United Nations or any other international organization, and the country's administration has expressed no particular concern with involving itself in global affairs.
