== Politics==
Winterbourne's primary duty is to protect and uphold the will of '''THE TREE''', it encompasses a world view of peace and harmony through its demonstrated neutrality and diplomacy. It holds historical ties with Yoahtl for which it adopts its law and order from. It also has historical ties with [[Icenia]] and Jomsviking.
== Citizenship==
Citizenship of Winterbourne is granted only by honorary royal decree to those who show respect and kindness to Royal House of Winterbourne.
All citizens of [[Yoahtl]] are granted honorary citizenship of Winterbourne automatically for as long as the Yoahtl "House of Winterbourne Act" is active.
==Law and Order==
Winterbourne adopts [[Yoahtl]] law by voluntary consent and delegates the tasks of legislation, crime and national security to the [[Yoahtl]] government under the "Winterbourne Peace Declaration" and the "The House of Winterbourne Act".
Specifically "The House of Winterbourne Act" allows [[Yoahtl]] to legally legislate, perform justice and protect The Royal House of Winterbourne. All subjects of the crown of Winterbourne are expected to abide by the laws of [[Yoahtl]] as if it were a citizen, though this does not automatically assume citizenship of [[Yoahtl]].
While [[Yoahtl]] law and order is adopted, the reigning monarch of Winterbourne holds a royal prerogative of creating and enacting law, meting out punishment and declaring war by order and cannot be held accountable to its laws outside of Yoahtl borders. It should be noted however this royal prerogative has historically very rarely been exercised and only once to date.
