▲'''Vessarlian''' is noted to be the successor to the [[Kingdom of Salrazaar]] (Unknown - 400AD), an ancient nation incorporating the [[Salzaar Peninsula]] in modern day [[Stelvania]]. Little is known about '''Salrazaar''', barring its demise, which is well documented by Vessarlan scholars; The kingdom had long suffered incursions into its lands by human militias hailing from the island of [[Stelva]], in modern day '''Stelvania''', but these marauders had been successfully fought off by '''Salrazaar'''<nowiki/>'s hardened and competent military. But by 385AD a two year old boy, King Salzeir VII, had ascended the throne. This minority reign, the first recorded in [[Salrazaari]] history, gave way to a power vacuum, resulting in a brutal civil war fought between the King's forces and those in support of his 16 year old illegitimate half-brother. This instability was perfect for the '''Humans''', whom had long craved a foothold on the '''Arcturian''' mainland, and they would arrive in droves throughout the civil war, beginning in 387AD.

▲After fleeing their homeland, the '''Vulpines''' traveled across the '''Concordian''' ocean, searching for a new home. They eventually landed in modern day [[New Leganes]]<nowiki/>before sailing onwards to the '''Oblivion Islands'''. In both instances they were met with abuse and neglection from the native humans, whom had never encountered '''Vulpines''' or any species similar. The natives eventually drove them out, and they were once again forced to sail onwards, further west. They headed towards the east coast of '''Gondwana''', but a strong storm forced them south, where they passed through the [[Joralesia]] strait and up into the [[Sea of Gondwana]]. The fleet sailed the sea for weeks, scouting a good landing sight. Eventually a prime location was spotted, and the fleet anchored itself in the harbor, before travelling ashore and founding their first settlement, they named it [[Rocaster]].

The United Kingdom of Vessarlian and Illiath, commonly referred to as Vessarlian, is a Unitary State under a Constitutional Monarchy. The monarch holds vast powers theoretically, whereas in actual practice they serve only as a figurehead for the nation. The only involvement the monarch has in administration of the realm is the need to give royal assent to any laws which have passed through both houses of parliament. They may veto (refuse to give assent) to any law they please, but this has only happened twice in the past century, with the most recent being in 1951. Monarchs of Vessarlian, with the current King being Cerasale XII, are expected to remain politically neutral and not interfere with current affairs, and are only expected to use their powers if advised to by the Royal Assembly, a body similar to the Privy Council's present in many other monarchies.

[[File:Final Vessarlan Parliament Election Results 2021.png|left|thumb|350px|The current party makeup of the Vessarlan Chamber of Representatives, as of [[2021 Vessarlan General Election|6th May 2021]]. The parties are:<br /><br />'''Government:'''<br />[[VES Democratic Socialists|Union of Democratic Socialists]]: 201 seats (light red)<br />[[VES Greens|Green Party]]: 50 seats (green)<br /><br />'''Official Opposition:'''<br />[[VES Conservatives|Conservative Party]]: 73 seats (dark blue)<br />[[VES Libertarians|Libertarian Party]]: 31 seats (yellow)<br />[[VES Nationalists|Vessarlan National Party]]: 19 seats (purple)<br /><br />'''Other Opposition:'''<br />[[VES Communists|Communist Peoples Party]]: 45 seats (dark red)<br />[[VES Monarchists|Monarchist Party]]: 31 seats (black)<br />[[Illiath Independence Party]]: 11 seats (light blue)]]The Vessarlan parliament is divided into two branches: a lower house called the Chamber of Representatives, which has 461 members, and an upper house called the Chamber of Delegates, which has 700 members. Members of the Chamber of Representatives (commonly referred to as MP's or Representatives) are directly elected by the people. They are elected under constituency-based system, in which the nation is divided into 461 constituencies of ~70,000 people. These people then elect one MP to represent their constituency. Voting is done under the First Past The Post (FPTP) electoral system, in which the candidate with the most votes wins, regardless of whether they have more than 50% of the vote. Members of the Chamber of Delegates (commonly referred to as Delegates or Piers) may receive their positions in a variety of ways: 40% of the Piers are appointed by the Appointments Council, which selects new members based on their skills, experience, and contributions to the nation. 30% of the Piers are appointed according to the amount of MP's each party wins in the general election, for instance, if a party wins 50% of the seats in the lower house they would receive 50% of this 30%. The remaining 30% of the piers are appointed proportionally to the vote share each party receives in the general election.
