Q&A dispatch

General Overview:

Welves, officially the Principality of Welves (Princitum vod Welves in Welven) is a microstate situated between the nations of Ioudaia and Domanania. Welves lays on the northern bank of the Krenet River, which makes up its southern border. In 1703 Welves gained independence from the Doman Maritime Empire.

Welves has a population of 39,200, the majority and official religion is Sabatism, which is Terrine's version of Christianity, with Western Sabatism being Protestantism and Sabatism being Catholicism. Welves has a literacy rate of 100%, as education is mandatory.

The Prince has almost absolute executive power, but Welves is a mix of a representative and direct democracy regarding legislative matters. The Judicial system is headed by a group of Judges appointed by the Prince. W

Welves is divided into the communities of Welves-Triesks, Liensberg, Kihenny, Keig, Pives, Alme, Eltesberg, Trienolp, Holvensberg and Yilvesberg.

Welves has a small military consisting of 150 total personnel.
The Welven economy is primarily agricultural.

The dominant political party is the Welven Royal Party (Konigius Facte vod Welves in Welven, also known as the KFW).
The Welven language is a mix of German and Latin, sometimes combining the first part of a German word and the last part of a Latin word, and sometimes simply merging the majority of both words together.

In-character questions only please.

Prince Luke Francis I, he founded the nation, wrote the first constitution, established the base of the current government system of Welves and some more stuff I'll think of later

I've mainly used Liechtenstein for inspiration behind the government, history and some other stuff here and there.

A decent amount of stuff I made up myself, or from already established lore from Domanania and Ioudaia (basically my Austria and Switzerland)

1. Is the Welven People's Party still dominated by teenagers or has it spread to most other groups?

2. Compared to a nation on Earth, how big is Welves if they are considered a mircostate?

3. Not sure if I can ask this, since it can be OOC, but how did you come up with the name Welves? It sounds really nice to me.

1. The Welven People's Party is still dominated by teenagers, however about 240 people aged 20+ are members, and around 23 of those are above the age of 50

2. Welves is a little larger than Liechtenstein, being around 20 square kilometers bigger, however Welves has a slightly smaller population

3. Similar to a lot of my non-NS nations (google docs) and some of my NS nations (I had like 20 alts before leaving NS in early March this year) was just kinda typing random letters and making words out of it, surprisingly I didn't have to do a second draft or any edits such as changing vowels, as "Welves" was the first thing I got, and I liked it, so I used it.

How dangerous is the:

man vs sheep game

?

It varies really, usually there's only 1 or 2 major injuries each year, and there have only been 4 deaths in the entire 120 years of the tradition.

Most people who play it are between 20-30, and the sheep are usually harmless, as most male sheep don't grow horns until they are 7 years old, and the vast majority of sheep are around 5-8, and even then around 40% of males never grow horns.

1. Haven't come up with it yet
2;
Welven Sabatism (87%)
Tíwaeism (4%)
The Law of Shfōt (4%)
Argentine Sabatism (3%)
Atheism (2%)
3;
You need a permit to hunt, abusing pets and farm animals can lead to 3 years jail time or worse, and there several animal shelters. Animal Shelters are not permitted to mistreat or kill the animals.

Nothing, it was just button mashing

The Republic of the United Marble Tribes wrote:How endangered are the sheep in your country? Have they been hunted/killed greatly like in a certain period of time?

Welves has a sheep population of around 40,000, and we only have the one species (White-Stache Sheep).
White-Stache Sheep are a protected species in Welves
They were never hunted, but farmers could kill them for food. In 1854 that was outlawed.

We have one railyway, which runs through Domanania and Ioudaia and happen to go through Welves. A whole lot about it isn't entirely set up yet as far as I'm concerned.
