The Principality of Ardoria was created by a group of Jovian Empire nobles lead by Prince Arklane Kusovari after the power holding faction of the monarchy was overthrown by revolutionaries lead by the then Archduchess Saria Kusovari. The Principality of Ardoria represents that last remaining faction of the Jovian Empire. But has chosen not to act as a 'nation ruling in exile', rather it has largely struck out on its own path. Saria's betrayal was felt quite deep within those that fled Jovian space, this also lead the Jovian fleet containing the J.S.S. Eye of Anubis, an experimental Illuminated Class Mobile Battle Station. Which secretly contained some lost weapons technology based on captured Standardized Tech Templates to join Arklane's forces and is perhaps one of the biggest reasons no one has attempted to invade the Principality of Ardoria since its inception.
This government is a pacifist form of hereditary autocracy, where the ruler is regarded as a benevolent guardian that is striving to protect the citizens from a violent galaxy.
The Principality of Ardoria's legislature is unicameral however a section of its membership are local lords (and ladies) of the royal court whom unlike the rest of the membership whom are elected every 5 years, are permanent unless expelled by the monarch. The general membership is based on proportional representation via instant run off voting for parties.
Education in the Principality of Ardoria is quite high quality given the resources and budget available. Free college is available to anyone whom serves in the military for at-least two years.
The Principality of Ardoria's law system is based on classical civil law, however the state itself investigates all major crimes so as to give a third perspective, when possible.
Despite being founded by royalty from the former Jovian Empire the Principality of Ardoria has abandoned the absolutist aspects of the former monarchy, it has created a dynamic and vastly more inclusive parliamentarian system. Further the principality has also abandoned the isolationist policies of its predecessor, welcoming immigrants whom are willing to work or will bring in art & culture.
The Principality of Ardoria is a secular state, however it has a vast mix of those who believe in various religions and forms of spirituality.
Large swaths of the principality's economy is an AI-backed planned economy. However a large mix of state-owned industry and private enterprise handles international trade as well as some commercial needs.
