Hafgael Queendom

The Hafgael Queendom, commonly referred to as the The Queendom, is a military-democracy that is lead by a Vice Admiral with a Queen as the primary head of state. The Vice Admiral must run for office whereas the Queen is often born into the position. To be allowed into the running primaries, one must have served at least 15 years as an Admiral and been in two separate conflicts. Other than the political head being military personnel, the country is relatively dominated by the people. It enjoys religious and political freedoms, and is relatively progressive.

Way of Life
Hafgael way of life is militaristic. Each citizen is required to spend at least two years in military service, with one of those years being aboard a vessel. After their two years, each citizen is effectively able to live out the rest of their lives in however they please. Those who choose to stay as active military personnel, are effectively in reserve with all living expenses paid.

While humans often enjoy a life of comfort and even luxury, they are often considered to be the last remaining cohesive human nation that is xenophobic, a tradition left over by the Othma League. While civilians in the Queendom do not view non-humans with hostility, they do not receive the same rights or treatment as humans would. Citizenship is very difficult to obtain as a non-human, often requiring five to ten years of military service before even being considered.

Non-humans are often given slum-like residencies. While the Queendom can be a luxurious place to live, as a non-human it is vastly less so. Crime in these slums is often high, not out of hatred or spite, but out of necessity - where stealing a loaf of bread could mean the difference between starving or staying fed.

Naval Tradition
Naval tradition is a not only a tradition, but a way of life. Humans in the Queendom often love the sea, spending hours or even days out in the ocean on luxury boats. These luxury boats can even turn into sea-bound living areas, providing those who can afford it with all they'll ever need.
