Geography

"Twelve Nations Federation" is an African country, located in central Africa. The capital is Lotharton.

Government and politics

The country has emerged as a federation of several different nations, first known as the "Riombi Federation". The federation have been in periods somewhat unstable, and on some occasions have been named "Seven Nations". The individual nation appears to be autonomous, ruled by a King or a Chieftain. Previously, it was automatic that the ruler of the greatest nation also had the role as King of the federation.

Lothar 10 was born Prince of the Wambesi nation and inherited the King title after his father (Lothar 9) when he was 21 years old. After a brief period as King of Wambesi and the federation Lothar gave up the throne to follow Mandrake on his adventures. Even if Lothar gave up the throne, the people and rulers of the nationes in the federation never accept that. When the federation held its first democratic elections the monarchists nominate Lothar for President. He served as the first President of the Twelwe Nations for a year before he resigned.
