Salerno
Salerno (officially the Kingdom of Salerno) is a semi-constitutional monarchy located on the continent of Karydia established on the 5th of December, 2023 by a group of new players, alongside a substantial contingent of former Papal States citizens and administrators. It officially succeeded the prior pontifical administration of the region under Lucius I's Papal States, following the ratification of the Sixth of December Agreement between the two powers. The Kingdom of Salerno is the protecting power of the Brunsvik City State, with relations between the two entities governed by the aforementioned Sixth of December Agreement.

Politics
Salerno is governed by a semi-constitutional monarchy, with a proactive monarch governing the state alongside a Prime Minister who is, by convention, chosen by the Royal Sejm (the national legislature). The Royal Sejm is composed of noble representatives (life peers), special representatives appointed for their expertise (appointees), and elected representatives (elected representatives). In practice, life peers defer to the technocratic appointees and elected representatives in the selection of both the Marshal of the Sejm (Speaker) and in the nomination of a Prime Minister, making the Prime Minister an effectively democratically elected position.
Although the Monarch maintains a sizable contingent of reserve powers, most actual authority is exercised by the Prime Minister and their cabinet, who serve while holding the confidence of the Royal Sejm.
Regions of Salerno are governed either by a Royal Governor (appointed by the Crown with the advice of the Prime Minister) or by a noble landholder appointed by the Crown. The sole exceptions to this are the City of Avenio (governed by a magistrate appointed by the Prime Minister) and the Dukedom of Caerdun (governed by both a Duke and Royal Governor in a similar system to the national government).
Salerno inherited the property, equipment, and membership of the Pontifical Palatine Guard following the Sixth of December Agreement, which forms the basis for the modern Salernan military, which is based out of the Lexington Bunker in central Salerno.
