Skuria

The United and Indivisible Council of the Seven Clans of Skuria, commonly referred to as the Council of Skuria or just Skuria, is a nation in central Alaxia. It was formed in the early XVth century, after the two hundred year long Skurian Civil War came to an end. Since the Great War it has closely cooperated with Valar and later the High Kingdoms of Alaxia, firmly standing inside their sphere of influence. The nation, true to its name, is ruled by a council of the heads of the seven Skurian "Klans", wealthy and influential families who once ruled parts of Skuria as independent warlords. Said council has near absolute power within the nation, having the sole ability to make new laws, as well as appointing all members of the Skurian government and the High Court.
