Government and Politics
The Kingdom of Boclej is a unitary state governed by an absolute monarch with two advisory bodies. That being the Privy Council of Boclej and His Majesty's Royal Government.

Geography
Lurgan is a town in north Armagh, Ireland. The two main formations in north Armagh are an area of estuarine clays by the shore of Lough Neagh and a mass of basalt farther back. The earliest human settlements in the area were to the northwest of the present day town near the shore of Lough Neagh. When land was handed to the Brownlow family, they initially settled near the lough at Annaloist but later settled where the town was eventually built. Today, the oldest part of Lurgan is its main street, which is built on a long ridge in Lurgan townland (baile fearainn). A neighbouring hill is home to Brownlow House, which overlooks Lurgan Park.
Climate
Lurgan's climate is like that of inland areas in Ireland. In summer, temperatures can reach the mid-20s °C (mid-80s °F), and it is rare for them to go higher than 30 °C (86 °F). The humidity in Ireland—which is common throughout the country—can make temperatures feel uncomfortable when they stray into the high 20s °C (80–85 °F), more so than similar temperatures in hotter climates in the rest of Europe.
