Coalition

As One. - Motto of the Coalition.

The Coalition of Cleocadia, better known as The Coalition, is the principle government of Cleocadia: an alliance of five powerful nations who, by sea, spell and law, ended the Age of Piracy. They have ruled since 499 AC.

Origins
- united to stop Ulthir

- established them as the greatest naval power in the world

Government: the Council
The Coalition is governed as a mixed democratic and meritocratic republic. Its primary governing body is a Council based in Imara's capital city of Allport, which consists of various leaders of state institutions. The Councillors are the heads of a number of state institutions. Since they represent many, often conflicting interests, large-scale decisions tend to take a long time to be resolved.

While the Coalition has no central governing figure, Griselda Raleigh, Fleet Admiral of the Marines, has been treated as its de facto leader since its founding.

List of Council Members

 * Fleet Admiral Griselda Raleigh of the Marines.
 * Commissioner Haster Dommel of the Guard.

 * [ministry of justice]

Government: the Delegation
The Delegation represent the interests of the Coalitions constitutent nations, besides Imara, and of the non-Coalition nations. They serve as diplomats and ambassadors.

Delegates don't meet with the Council as often as they meet with each other. They organise independently, and are only expected to bring their interests to the Council occasionally, or in emergencies. Essentially, they act below the Council, so their work is usually much more boring, and involves a lot more deadlock.

Delegates travel around much more than Councillors, however, and tend to live much more varied political lives. They are given sanctuary in Coalition territories.

List of Delegates
For a number of reasons, there are no designated Delegates for Deorsa, Victoria, Yan Guo, Satyavarsha and Hayama.
