Government
System of Governance
The Government of Bregotte is separated into two branches, being the Royal Council and the Throne. The Royal Council meets and proposes new decrees. Such decrees must then be approved by the Chief Councillor, and then must be vetted by the King. If given Royal Approval, legally called Approvacapu, it is codified into law. Legislature can also be created directly by the King, and codified into law without the consultation of the Royal Council, but must at least be shown to the Chief Councillor.
Culture
Religion and Spirituality
Bregotte is, by law, a Roman Catholic state. While this is the state religion, the majority of citizens are agnostic, or deistic. It follows Catholic moral teaching, in law, about how a country should be run. The patron saint is St. Francis of Assisi.
