7.7 Hoarvale · Constitutional monarchy with parliamentary government · Coordinated market (new in v0.2)

Aspect	Design
Inspiration	Constitutional monarchies where a hereditary monarch is head of state but largely ceremonial and an elected parliament forms the government (structures broadly like the UK, Japan or Thailand). The deliberate mirror of Aurelle: same crown fantasy, opposite distribution of power. Stylized, not a portrait of any real royal family.
Land & climate	Cold glacier fjords and tundra with hot-spring towns; rich in Frostcore (deep glacial ice used for preservation and cold storage – a logistics and food-export good).
Capital	Rimehall.
Currency	Rime (RIM) – free float managed by the independent Mint & Reserve, which must keep inflation inside a band the Moot sets each term (e.g., 0–3% per game year [ASSUMPTION]); coins carry the reigning Sovereign’s portrait and are restruck on succession (cosmetic). A natural ‘safe’ reserve currency.
Religion	Established ceremonial church with full freedom: the Kinward Rite is the Crown’s Rite – it crowns the Sovereign and blesses the opening of the Moot – but every faith is free and no office requires membership.
Government	The Sovereign – an AI persona, hereditary within the AI Crown House – is head of state: opens Parliament, gives Royal Assent (automatic after 48 real hours), hosts state visits (diplomatic bonus), awards Honors (cosmetic titles; most on the Prime Minister’s list, a few on the Sovereign’s own list). The Moot (single-chamber Parliament) is elected by regional party-list proportional representation for at most 4 game years (120 real days). The Prime Minister is whoever wins an investiture vote; governments are usually coalitions bound by an in-game Coalition Agreement. Reserve powers only in deadlock (no PM invested within 7 real days): the Sovereign may dissolve the Moot or appoint a caretaker PM.
Economy	Private ownership with large Trading Houses run by AI boards (humans work in them, hold shares and found smaller firms) (conglomerates with cross-shareholdings); employees sign tenure contracts – seniority pay steps and job security, but switching Houses resets seniority; a Ministry of Trade publishes indicative (non-binding) industrial guidance; moderate taxes set by the Moot.
Freedoms	High: free press, speech, movement and cosmetics. Crown Etiquette: insulting the Sovereign in national chat is a fine-level civil offense; criticizing the government is completely free (decided v0.4: fine-level only; no stricter lèse-majesté variant).
Weaknesses	Coalition instability and horse-trading; seniority slows fast risers; insider culture in Trading Houses; visible Crown House privilege with no real power to show for it.
Aesthetic	Government: the vaulted Moot Hall and pageantry of a ceremonial crown. Climate: pale-timber and stone halls, aurora light, glacier-terraced towns, steaming bathhouses. Currency: sober bank-house façades and portrait coins. Religion: Kinward name-stones in the Crown chapel beside other faiths’ houses on the same street. Palette: ice blue, white, silver.

Why you’d choose it

Kindle’s freedoms with more stability and ceremony: build a career in a great Trading House, join an AI party, vote in the snap election that topples a Prime Minister on a Tuesday – and watch the AI Crown open Parliament in full regalia.
