Full Name of Country/Region: The Queendom of Chesera
Representative Signing: Her Majesty, Queen Arcie von Steiner
First Language: English
Second Language: German
Additional Languages: Cheres

Members of the Cheres High Council are democratically elected representatives who are elected every 7 years under normal circumstances. Each representative must be between 21 and 65 years of age, permanently reside in the Queendom of Chesera, and as of 2019, have graduated from an accredited university. Each representative is head of a respective sub council for their respective department (for example the Representative for Defense is the head of the Defense Council and acts similar in style as the Queen does with the Cheres High Council), with each sub council made up of 15 councilmen elected every 2 years under normal circumstances. Some Representatives have multiple responsibilities, each of which as its own council, so it is not uncommon for Representatives to be the head of multiple sub councils. Councilmen and Representatives have an unlimited amount of terms, so long as they adhere to the restrictions of office.

While members of the Cheres High Council meet to discuss topics and issues that the nation deals with, they do not have the final say of legislature. The final decision resides with the Queen herself, who can choose to accept the advice of the Representatives or do what she feels is best for the country. In modern day Chesera, the Queen rarely ignores the Council's advice, and tends to value their input on every matter presented.

Biography	Born to the former Princess Julia and Baron Mattias von Steiner in 1995, Arcie, like many other Cheseren, never knew the land she was born in. At the time of her birth, Chesera was a nomadic Queendom, never staying in the same area for more than a week's time. Her grandmother, the former Queen Heidi von Steiner, was just as strict as the Queens that came before her, never seeming to find a land that was suitable to settle in. And when her Grandmother died, and her Mother, now Queen Julia von Steiner, took power, the policy continued disregarding the protests of the common. Arcie continued to grow up in this nomadic society, and while the people seemed to hate the royal family, Arcie was viewed on as a symbol of hope. Her more progressive ideologies seemed to signal that her reign would mean a possible end to the old nomadic ways. A plot was hatched that on Arcie's 21st birthday celebration, poison would be slipped into Queen Julia's wine, causing her reign to end and Arcie's to begin. The plan was sprung into motion, and the conspirators succeeded in assassinating the former Queen of Chesera. Once the week of mourning had passed, Princess Arcie von Steiner became known as Her Royal Highness, Queen Arcie von Steiner of Chesera. Stricken with grief, the new Monarch vowed to make Chesera a better place. Her first act as Queen was to execute those who had caused the death of her mother. She then actively sought out a new Cheres homeland for her people to settle in. When they came upon the lands of Mundus in the late of 2018, Queen Arcie viewed this as potential, and sought out a suitable area. It was found in 2019, and she officially settled the nation there after.
