Synops of the time before the begining...

For over five hundred years the two Kingdoms of Rhuska and Merika were engaged in violent and eternal war. The war went on without end, the death toll reached the hundreds of millions, the economies of the Kingdoms fell apart, famine consumed the lands.

Until a small bread riot in the border town of Shino became the straw that broke the camels back.

A full scale revolution emerged in both kingdoms that left both royal families dead or fleeing for their lives.

A man by the name of Duke Preston Wallace took control of both revolutionary forces and declared that both kingdoms were dead and announced the birth of the Most Serene Republic of Semirhage.

Then the new "Prime Designate" announced that the nation would embrace a Pacifist/Neutral policy with only a police force which was only allowed to use non-lethal impliments.

And to the shock of the world the Policy of Pacifism worked like a dream.

Within just five years of the War's End the nation of Semirhage had a booming economy and had completely recovered from the scars of the War.

The Prime Designate was elected no less than five times (each term lasts 5 years, 5X5=25 years) but during his campaign for the office of Prime Designate Preston died of natural causes.

Which allowed his new running mate Sophia Moss (no relation to Kate Moss) to become the candidate of the People's Party and now the new Prime Designate of Semirhage...

The Temple of the Senate, Shino Capital of Semirhage

The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of The Most Serene Republic of Semirhage stood holding in his hands a copy of the Declaration of the Republic, the Elect-Prime Designate stood with her right hand on top of the document as she recited the Oath of Office.

"Do you swear upon the bedrock of Republic to uphold the law of the land?"
"I do."
'Do you swear to protect the Republic from intrusion by any and all powers beyond our borders?"
"I do."
"Do you swear upon the bedrock of Republic to rule the people with justice and benevolence?"
"I do."
"Then in front of the Temple of the Senate I declare you Prime Designate of the Most Serene Republic of Semirhage."
