The Imperial Union of the Proudlands, commonly called the Proudlands, or more formally, the Imperial Realm, is a sovereign state and constitutional monarchy in the Southern Africa region bordered on the north by Namibia and on the east by the Republic of South Africa. The Realm, originating from the Pride Colony, a Boer-majority settler colony founded by Ouroboros I Pride, is a Boer-ruled state that practices limited segregation policies similar to apartheid. To this day, the Imperial Realm remains to be the only sovereign state where feudalism still exists with a working aristocracy. It is also one of the most militarized country in the world officially having 90% of the population always ready for mobilization to civil and/or military service.
