Community of Lena-Rutland

Community of Lena-Rutland


Statement by Hannibal Satelitos, democratically elected Majority Leader of the House of the People:

I am the current Majority Leader of the House of the People of Lena-Rutland. As holder of this position, I wish to help the grand region of Sermo become greater and more powerful.

I was democratically elected after the last civil war that devastated our usually peaceful community. There used to be two houses in the Parliament of Lena-Rutland, the Upper House and the Poorhouse. That was the actual name, as those in the Upper House frequently abused their power, but when they were found holding orgies and were involved in a pedophilia scandal, the people decided they had had enough and took up arms against the forces of the Upper House.
There are still some repercussions which need to be addressed, as the southern, richer part of the country still harbours grudges on the recent loss of power.

Our motto is "Lena nunc et semper", Latin for "Lena now and always" which refers to our atheistic religion and the only thing on which the country can agree

The government of the Community is split into the Executive, Legislative and Juditial branches. However, since the last election, the position of President has been vacant, so the executive power was given to the leader of the Party with the most votes, currently Hannibal Satelitos, M.D., Ph.D, B.A. Elections for President still haven't been scheduled.

The current administrative capital is Meyer District. In it, sits the House of the People of Lena-Rutland, the main legislative body. The Community prides itself in the great personal freedoms it possesses.
