'''South Staynes''', referred to as '''The Commonwealth of South Staynes''', is a moderately large sized nation in central [[Aurora]], known by its hilly lifestyle and chilly, jagged coastline, has a rough population of about 160 million. It is noted that around 6,000,000 people live in the citymunicipality of Labius. It neighbours are [[Staynes]], [[Axdel]], which it shares the largest border with, [[Meow Meow Hiss|MMH]], and [[Ethalria]]. The Isle of Rek, which is one of the oldest settled islands in Aurora, neighbours [[Tuvaltastan]], [[Imperial Fandom]] & [[Nation/Dragonia|Dragonia]].

South Staynes declared independence from the [[Morstaybishlian Empire]] on the 6th of June, 1975, due to [[Staynes]] (one branch of the Empire) becoming economically and militarily weak, which could not maintain the region. It later had no other options but to reinstate member status of the empire after several years borderline anarchy. The nation now struggles towith keepa its inhabitants happy due to thebelow lowaverage income per person.

South Staynes has always suffered with high income inequality. In 2016, approximately eightysixty percent of the population live off of the land, generally as farmers in hobbit style houses trading in food and possessions as they cannot sustain themselves in the system. The other 2040% live in the system as a functioning government body and population. A system integration program was established in 2005 to try and sway more people to move to urbanised areas and live above or at minimum wage according to ACAAU standards. However, this has only resulted in a small percentage of people converting.

South Staynes has a [[wikipedia:Parliamentary system|parliamentary government]] based on ancient [[Staynes|Staynish]] tradition, with a few implications. The higher three houses in the South Staynish Parliament meets in Senate Building whilst the lowest house is represented by elected representatives from each parish and meet in individual buildings of high status in each of the South Staynish states. The parliament system is ranked as one of the most complicated in [[Urth]], with four houses: an elected Parish House which serves under an elected State House, which feeds into the elected Lords House that is underneath the appointed Senate House. All bills are given [[wikipedia:Royal assent|Royal assent]] before becoming law.
