'''The Empire of Raveran (T.E.R''' or '''TER'''), commonly known as '''Raveran''', is a primarily coastal country located in northern [[Godwana]]. It is a Federalized Elective Monarchy with 15 Provinces. It has a population of 35 million Raveranians (2020). It controls an area of 489,280.6 sq. km.

The Raveranians were originally an indigenous group of people that were free until the year 1106 when The Holy Empire of Thelianon (The HET) swiftly conquered them and subjugated them and began to oppress The Raveranians. Although they were exposed to the technology of the modern era, and soon advanced alongside Thelianon after catching up to them thanks to the HET government's interference,The Raveranians had a specific and unique cultural identity that they maintained even whilst oppressed. This resulted in them having ethnic divisions and tension with the Thelianonese and other Ethnic Groups in the Empire. As a result of Raveranian calls for independence in 1413 after more than 200 years of oppression, the Raveranians were hunted down and declared enemies of the state and mistreated even further, having next to no civil rights.

It wouldn't be until 1527 that The Raveranians formed a revolt and began to riot against the government, causing massive uprisings and encouraging other ethnic groups that were oppressed to riot as well. Many ethnic groups rose up against the government as The HET was weakened following an assassination of the Emperor in 1525, resulting in the 7 year old Heir being crowned the new Emperor of Thelianon. Raveranians fought long and hard for their independence before finally managing to be free as The Holy Empire of Thelianon collapsed in 1598.

The Raveranians now simply called themselves 'Raveran' after their homeland and were a nomadic group of people. Raveran wandered the tropical rainforests and tundras of the continent Gondwana before coming upon a small bay. They quickly found an abundance of natural resources in the mountainous regions, food from the rain forests, fertile soul from the water and forest rivers, and lots of natural resources in general. They quickly organized themselves into place, setting up a government and appointing the Raveranian leader as the first Raveranian Emperor.

The Empire of Raveran was then formed and it has expanded province by province afterwards, with the people electing Senators to represent them in The Raveranian Senate Council. The people began to settle into the land and populate, eventually reaching 35 million people in 2020.

The Emperor is an elected position who serves for life. The title of Emperor is hereditary as well. However, if an Emperor dies childless or without a legitimate child, an election for the new Emperor is held. During this election, all citizens are required to vote. To run for Emperor, someone needs to be at least 35 years old and have served in a political office for at least 10 years. Additionally, they cannot be convicted of a serious crime and must have been born in the country. The Emperor is called an Empress if a female Raveranian is elected.

The Emperor can be voted out of power via a Vote of No Confidence. The Raveranian Senate Council can host a vote of no confidence if the majority of Senators agree to host it. If Majority vote in favor of No Confidence, the current Emperor is ousted and an election is held.

The Grand Councilor is in charge of the Senate Council and leads its meetings. It is a position that is appointed by the Emperor. They serve terms of 20 years and there is no term limit. The Emperor can remove his Grand Councilor. Additionally, the Senate Council can remove the Grand Councilor by voting by majority in No Confidence after unanimously voting to hold a No Confidence vote.

The Senate Council is Senators appointed by the people every 10 years to represent their provinces. The Senators appoint a council to advise them called The Provincial Council which is charged with voting on laws presented by the Senators for their province they represent. The Senators can serve a maximum of two terms and must be born in the country to run for office. There are 2 senators per province in the Senate Council.

Imperial laws, meaning laws passed by the Imperial government (The Emperor/Empress and his/her advisors), are listed as being above Provincial laws, which are laws passed by Senators and their advisors. Imperial Laws are considered superior in comparison to Provincial laws passed by Senators. The Provincial Laws and Imperial Laws can be overturned by The Imperial Court or The Emperor. Provincial Laws can also be overturned by the Provincial Courts. Provincial Laws can be passed across all provinces as Universal Provincial Laws (still inferior to Imperial Laws but superior to Provincial Laws) if the Senate Council unanimously agrees on a law. Universal Laws can be overturned by The Senate Council, Imperial Court, or Emperor. Additionally, if the majority of the Senate Council votes in favor of a law, it can be passed as an Imperial Law. The passing of laws proposed by The Senate Council as an Imperial Law can be vetoed by The Emperor, as can the passing of a law as a Universal Law.

All citizens of The Empire are able to vote for whichever candidate they want. Voting in elections for Senators is not required, however, Emperor Elections are required by law to vote. Those who refuse to vote are imprisoned for <1 year and/or fined up to 1,000 Ravers depending on reason. This excludes people who are hospitalized or disabled. Disabled individuals must be officially exempted by the Government. Additionally, the citizens of The Empire are able to criticize their government and Senators freely without consequence.

There is some state owned media, however, citizens can access media freely and privately owned media outweighs state media
