==== Imperial Court ====
==== Imperial Court ====
Reporting to the Shikken is his Rensho, [[Prawny331]], the nation's second-in-command. Also reporting directly to the Shikken is the Taishō [[BlankestAtlas]], the military leader of Nara. The Taisho is in charge of Nara's militia and samurai, military infrastructure, as well as taking effective command of the nation in time of war. These three leaders form the Imperial Court, which functionally acts as a Triarchy.
Reporting to the Shikken is his '''Rensho''', [[Prawny331]], the nation's second-in-command. The Komuin [[mTfUJi]] is currently filling in as Temporary Rensho while Prawny is on vacation. Also reporting directly to the Shikken is the '''Taishō''' [[BlankestAtlas]], the military leader of Nara. The Taisho is in charge of Nara's militia and samurai, military infrastructure, as well as taking effective command of the nation in time of war. These three leaders form the Imperial Court, which functionally acts as a Triarchy.


==== Daimyo ====
==== Daimyo ====
The Daimyo are in charge of a specific region of Nara, and can essentially have complete control over their assigned region (with the exception of military infrastructure), ruling over the land for the Shikken. The most populous prefecture is that of Shiroyama, lead by [[Bronnakus]] and containing the city of the same name. The prefecture of Q'Barra is a strategic exclave on the [[Eastern Continent]], and is ruled over by [[Earyx]]. There is space for the declaration of additional Daimyo, provided their region is either strategic or reasonably populous.
The Daimyo are in charge of a specific region of Nara, and can essentially have complete control over their assigned region (with the exception of military infrastructure), ruling over the land for the Shikken. Among the requirements for a Daimyo is longevity and consistency of passion for the server, the ability to get along with other longtime Narans (especially those in the government) and a strong vision for the region in question. There are four Daimyo positions corresponding to the 4 current regions of Nara. [[Bronnakus]] is '''Lord of the North''' and [[OreStraya]] is '''Lord of the Center'''. '''Lord of Overseas Territories''' was originally held by [[Earyx]] before his departure from the civ genre and is currently vacant. The last Daimyoship, the '''Lord of the South''', has never been filled.


There had once been a '''Lord of the Nether''', a position held by [[Tolype_Velleda]]. However, after an altercation with Dalgon, he was stripped of this role. After later leaking brew secrets, he was kicked out of Nara entirely, the only person to have the dishonor of going from Feudal Lord to exile.
The city of Akheron in the nether was declared a prefecture, ruled over by the former Daimyo [[TolypeVelleda]]. This position and prefecture were later revoked following an altercation with Dalgon.

It was formerly held by [[BlankestAtlas]] before his promotion to Taisho, after which he resigned as Culture Komuin to focus on his new military duties. The position is currently vacant.


* '''Komuin of Infrastructure'''
====Naran Infrastructure Committee====

Initally a full Komuin role, the position was transitioned into a joint citizen committee to oversee public infrastructure works such as roads, rails and bridges. This committee is currently suppended and diluted into different jobs for all citizens to partake in.
In charge of building various infrastructure projects, including rails, roads, excavation, and assistance in construction of military infrastructure. While originally named as a possible government position, the idea of an Infrastructure Komuin was scrapped in favor of an Infrastructure Committee composed of regular citizens. Before it's dissolution, was headed by [[JeyHey]]. Was later revived as a concept with [[Hg__80]] inheriting the position due to his great success with Naran excavation projects.

==='''International Relations'''===
==='''International Relations'''===
Nara has a very close relationship with the neighbouring nation of [[Dalgon]]. This is due to the fact that the Shikken [[SwordMaster7777]] is a good friend of the founder of Dalgon, [[fredhun14]]. This close allyship also assisted both nations during the [[CivMC]] launch as they could guard each other's backs from the roaming players at the time, merging their territory until official claims maps could be posted, although this did lead to some confusion with many people believing that the two separate nations were but one. This alliance is yet to be formalised, but has been named the [[DNA|Dalgon-Nara Alliance]], or DNA.

After much frustration with the ISP due to some internal policy arguments and incidents which called into question the sovereignty of both Nara and Dalgon, Nara left the ISP in May 2023 after the relationship became unreconcilable.


Nara maintains friendly relations with most of its neighbors, with an active prescence in the [[Alenarith Forum]], and generally remains neutral on the world stage. Shiroyama hosts a consulate for each of the member nations of the Arsenio Pact, and is connected by rail to Danzilona, MTA, Pridelands and the Commonwealth.
