Politics

Government

The Arcadian Federative Council controls all domestic affairs within the Arcadian Union. Headed by Chairman Georgy Stihlovich the Communist Party of Arcadia controls all chairs in the AFC and is a totalitarian regime. The AFC is seated in the top floors of the Kreblim and are tasked with controlling the nation and living conditions within Arcadia.

The Green Council seats 4 members of the governments of the Ravniny Union and is housed in the lower floors of the Kreblim. They have control of all Arcadian Military assets at an international level. This was a safeguard put into place due to Stihlovichs' habits of going on drunken rants declaring war on nations.
