Pax-Draconica
Pax-Draconica is a personal, economic and political union of countries in Central Yasteria. It was formally established in 1989 by the Charter of Pax-Draconica which was signed in the city of Bingol, Packilvania. Although its members are independent nations, they share the descendants of Sultan of Packilvania, Amhoud I, as their head of state. As such the Bedonite dynasty reigns over them.
History
After the Packilvanian Civil War ended in 1985, the Bedonite dynasty took over control of the former territories of the Packilvanian Communist Party. Amhoud I was crowned Sultan of Packilvania. He recognized the independence of the Drakkengard Socialist Republic. The Drakkengard Socialist Republic passed a new Constitution whereby it became the Kingdom of Drakkengard. The Grand Duke of Drakkengard reigned as the Regent until a new King was chosen. The position of the King of Drakkengard was offered by the Parliament of Drakkengard to Amhoud I. Amhoud I and the Grand Duke of Drakkengard signed the Charter of Pax-Draconica (Packilvanian: LuHuvaal aluPax-Dhrakonika, Drakken: RaiYawwool eraiPax-Drakonika) at Bingol Royal Palace in the city of Bingol. The Grand Duke renounced all claims to the Drakken throne and Amhoud I ascended to the position of the King of Drakkengard. In 1990, Amhoud I passed away, and his son, Amhoud II, succeeded him. In 1995, Namdun III, succeeded him.
Personal union
The member states of Pax-Draconica share the same head of state. This position has different styles and titles depending on the nation. Nevertheless, all member states must approve the Succession Law. The Succession Law determines who is eligible to inherit their shared monarchy as well as the order of succession. According to the current law, the succession is by absolute male primogeniture of the line of Amhoud I. The monarch is required to profess adherence to Paxism. The titles and styles rendered to this individual are as follows:
- By the Divine Providence of Noi, His Imperial Majesty, the Sultan of Packilvania (Packilvanian: WeloBenitiya loHiva abuNoi, BuMakhnifiya BuShultanishme, luSultan aluBakhilfaniya)
- By the Divine Providence of Noi, His Majesty, the King of Drakkengard (Drakken: Ülponistre Ävesu Nuyov, Magnifiya, Suvran Drakkengard)
Their shared monarch is Namdun III, and the Bedonite dynasty is the royal family over all member states. Pax-Draconica does not grant the monarch power over the internal affairs of the member states. Each state controls the extent of the monarch's power through its own laws.
Monetary union
The member states of Pax-Draconica agree to trade their currencies at par and to allow for the use of each other's currencies as legal tender. Furthermore, the member states agree to coordinate monetary policy. The currencies used by the union are as follows:
- Packilvanian dinar
