Politics
Government
Seifare is constitutional monarchy, with the Sovereign Prince or Princess of Seifare as it’s head of state. For its entire existence, this ruling family has been the House of Resseifia, a position practically ratified in the Treaty of Secession signed by Fegeland and Algiza, which states that should the Principality be left with no heir related by blood to the Tahuako-Pomare Dynasty, the land will after a period no greater than four years after the reigning Prince or Princess' death or abdication cede back to its original owners and the State of Seifare be dissolved.
Aside from the Prince or Princess of Seifare, the government has two other prominent positions: Minister of State, and Mayor of Lotte Kyu.
The executive branch of government is led by the Minister of State, a Seifégasque, Feguan or Algizan national who is personally appointed by the Prince for a three year term. A Minister can serve up to three terms, however in exceptional circumstances should the Prince of Seifare and Mayor of Lotte Kyu deem the serving Minister unfit they may be removed from their position prematurely.
The street level affairs of the Capital and only city, Lotte Kyu, are managed by the Mayor of Lotte Kyu, the only elected position in the government and the third most powerful office in the nation after that of the Prince and the Minister of State. The Mayor holds responsibility for public transport, waste management, port authorities, and the conservation of cultural sites.

The Principality’s diplomatic outreach is limited, and most of its international interactions occur through state owned companies - but if approached and the terms are favourable, Seifare will nominally do business with any nation, anywhere. The position of Ambassador of Seifare is traditionally held by any one of the Prince or Princesses children, however this role rarely takes them beyond Doren or the Central Sea.

Education

Each have adopted a form of on and off enrollment to allow for the children of citizens who may spend over half the year outside the Principality to seamlessly continue attendance after spending long periods away from Lotte Kyu, providing their education has been continued in some form while absent. Seifare is also home to one college.
