Line 99:
The Tavari left Avnatra by boat and migrated back east to the coast of mainland Gondwana. Because the jungle on the mainland is very dense, it took the Tavari three attempts and 68 years to establish a settlement that could sustain them. They named the settlement Good Harbor, and the official date of establishment is considered to be December 14th, 1567. Good Harbor is located on the eastern coast of the body of water Tavaris refers to as the Sea of Tavaris. Acronis refers to the body as the Sunrise Sea. Over the course of time, the Tavari expanded their holdings further east, to the coast of the largest inland lake in Gondwana, Lake Unar. On Lake Unar they established the city of Nuvrenon, which would become the political capital of the country. The government agreed to divide the country into nine regions that would each fall under the control of one of the nine chiefdoms that remained loyal to Tavaris. These chiefdoms remain in place today, nominally controlled by a hereditary chief descended directly from the nine original loyalist chiefs.
==Government==
The Tavari Union is a federal system, with the nine chiefdoms (also called provinces) having their own governments that have the ability to control affairs within their borders. The most recent Constitution of the Tavari Union establishes that the central government has only those powers that are explicitly delegated to it in the constitution, with all other powers belonging to the chiefdoms. On the federal level, the executive of the country is the cabinet, led by a Premier. The legislature is the unicameral Assembly of the Union, which has 385 members. The Assembly elects the Premier, who is typically the leader of the largest party or whomever leads a coalition that holds a majority of votes. The Premier then appoints the members of the cabinet.
The chiefdoms each have their own unicameral legislatures, usually called Assemblies, that appoint a Premier in a similar fashion. To distinguish the two different kinds of Premiers, they can be called Provincial Premiers and the Union Premier.
The nine hereditary chiefs are nominally the leaders of each chiefdom, but they hold no executive authority and are not involved in the government. From among their membership, the chiefs elect a King, who the constitution states is "the symbol of the unity of the Tavari state" but is not even nominally the Head of State. A king rules until death, at which time a new king is elected.
