Welcome to Sauveterre. A fictional country located between France and Switzerland with Italy bordering in the South. Highly French influenced, it gained it’s independence from that primary overseer in the late sixteenth century, and has been a peaceful country ever since. It’s monarchy is overseen by a parliament, which had been adopted from England’s example towards the late nineteenth century, which makes the royal family primarily just eye-candy for it’s people. But, now, with the late king gaining in age (though he is not, by any definition “old” or “weak”, as he would like to say so himself), the battle for the crown has commenced between daughters, sons, cousins, and friends alike. In addition to the rat-race between relatives, it’s become evident that many other countries wish to see the royal family disbanded, replaced by a democracy or a republic - leaders sending in their own ambassadors to attempt to sway the king who, even though parliament oversees his decisions, has the ultimate final say whether or not to completely strip his family of the ability to inherit the crown of Sauveterre. |
