BACKGROUND
[/b][/u]
The Commonwealth of Eswen comprises three nations, the island to the north of Alba Karinya is the Kingdom of Vafleon, bordering the Illumic Channel is the Republic of Thaeros while to the south is the Kingdom of Asmeir. These three nations have had interlinks between them since the days of Vafleonian raiding and pillaging, over time closer links were forged, alliances made and with two other now no longer existing powers defeated in war the Commonwealth as it exists today came into being. The governance of the Commonwealth traditionally has rested with the Head of the Commonwealth, usually this has been the Monarch of Vafleon but there are examples in history of when it has been the head of state of one of the other two nations. The Head of the Commonwealth has the authority to represent Eswen internationally but each of the three states also may do so.
