Kryavus, the holy land of The Great Basilisk, is a pre-server settlement that just recently
sprang up.Government:
Kryavus is a Triarchal Republic, in which three elected leaders rule over one sovereign
nation. Want to be the leader of a settlement in the future? In Kryavus, that is possible, as the people of our nation vote every month to either elect a new Triarch or keep the old one. A Triarch can be impeached too, so corruption shan't be an issue in Kryavus. For more about our government system, please read the spoiler.-Triarchs are the highest elected officials in the government. They are appointed for a period
of a month, but may be impeached at any time or re-elected into office. They represent different parts of the kingdom (Military, Engineering, and Executive (i.e. an official of an 'office', such as the Head of the Department of Resources or the Head of the Department of Economy; names such as these will change once we get a theme for our settlement.) As a Triarchy, they vote on all major matters involving the kingdom, such as declarations of war/peace or beginning of a new major construction project. They elect a council to get advice from and give orders to.
-Voting: Voting for a Triarch is a bit fixed, but for a reason. High ranking officials have votes
that count triple that of a citizen of lesser status. This is to insure that newer citizens, whom vote for random people that they don't know, won't overwhelmingly vote for a person that isn't fit for the job. At the same time, it doesn't make them feel that their vote is discarded, because it still counts for a lot. When voting to impeach a Triarch, the same voting rules apply, but instead of the highest count, 2/3rd of the citizens have to agree to an impeachment. The impeachment system also makes sure that if we were to have a bad leader, they could be removed and replaced instead of dragging down the kingdom. Triarchswont be able to vote for themselves at the start, maybe later on when there are more members.
-If a Triarch is impeached, a 'second-in-command' (Viceroy) will be bumped up to leader for the rest of the term. The second in command will be chosen by the Triarch when he is elected, and must be a part of their branch (engineering, military and executive.)
-The voting for a Triarch will be postponed for +-1 month in addition to the regular monthly election period so that the original Triarchs have enough time to set up the settlement properly.

-Military Branch:
-Military is exactly what you think it is; all of the members of the militia protecting our kingdom. They also include those whom supply the kingdom with weapons and armor, and strategists.
-Engineering Branch:
-Engineers are every member of the kingdom that expand the kingdom through building structures. This includes Architects, those who design the buildings that the Triarchs request, and Workers, those who construct the buildings according to the architect's design.
-Executive Branch:
-Executives are all of the members that are a part of the other miscellaneous parts of a working government, such as Treasurers. These are tentative and many different parts of this branch can be added and can be removed, depending on the efficiency of the whole thing.

Architecture:
For those considering joining our engineering division, or for those that are just interested in
what we will look like aesthetically, we are trying to go for an Arabic-themed build. This is mainly made up of sandstone, cobblestone and various wood planks (however, jungle wood planks are used the most.) The basilisk that represents our nation is commonly seen throughout our architecture. For a few ideas as to what image I'm trying to paint, here are some screenies for your viewing pleasure:A picture of our would-be capitol building. The basilisk figure is small here, but can be seen a few times on the sides of the stairs.

Example of the wall around our city. A basilisk head can be seen here as a protected sniping spot for our archers.

Military:
Kryavus is a fairly hostile settlement, so expect us to be in quite a few wars. We will only have
a few alliances, three max at any given time. This is to insure that we will always have someone to fight. If you decide to join our military division, be expecting to be raiding other settlements frequently, as well as defending our kingdom from external tyranny.Joining Us:
Kyravus is an open settlement that is free for people to join. However, we will allow people to join whenever. However, if you wish to join us, we would prefer if you were to fill out an application with the questions below and post it in this thread (again, this is not required.) If you'd like to be our ally, please have an official of your settlement start a conversation with all of our current Triarchs so that we can discuss why we should ally with your settlement.
Please erase all italicized words and keep all bold words in your application.
