Voting[]
The Republic States of Èireann has a standard election process for its presidents and hands, however there are no set limitations for how long a term lasts. The citizens of Èireann sees it unnecessary to have a periodic amount of elections, therefore, elections can happen when certain conditions are met.
These conditions are, but no limited to:
- Whenever there is an interest in holding an election(for various reasons)
- Whenever a president/hand decides to step down
Before any voting begins, nominations are held, for both the presidents and hands(though presidents are typically elected first, before the nomination of hands.) Those nominated then become the candidates that will participate in the election, albeit any nominee has the choice to decline. If there are more than 1 accepting nominees, the elections proceed to the giving of speeches, subsequently followed by the voting. If there is only one accepting nominee and no opposition, they then become the default winner.

State System[]
The State System is the most recent law passed within the Republic of Èireann. Passed on February 6, 2022, this effectively officializes the division of Èireann into states, further legitimizing the power of the cities' heads. Written and passed by President Ezio, this brought about changes to Èireann's current form.
The document is found within Èireann's rules channel on their discord server. The document contains 6 articles, with them tackling the specifics of the state system:
- Article I - Definitions: This article focuses on defining what a state and governor is for the rules of Èireann.
- Article II - Qualifications for Statehood: Details the needed requirements in order for a region within Èireann's official territories to become it's own state. The qualifications is intentionally specific and high-standard as to prevent the creation of newer states, that will stagnate and die off.
- Article III - Qualifications for Governor: Lists down the needed requirements for a citizen of a state to become it's governor. The governor will be the highest authority figure within the state and shall oversee the state's development. The standard is once more high, this is to ensure that the person running is committed and experienced.
- Article IV - Governor's Powers and Limitations: the set of acts a governor can and cannot perform. It ensures that the governor sticks to democratic ideals and prevents their abuse of power.
- Article V - State Elections and Referendums: This article focuses on the specifics of how a governor is elected and the amount of time each governor has for their term. This requires all governor's to conduct referendums regarding on a change in leadership, if the state is currently active enough.
- Article VI - Towns: Goes into detail regarding the creation of smaller cities and towns within a state.
The State System made many official changes to Èireann upon it's passing:
- The Republic of Èireann has been renamed to the Republic States of Èireann(RSE)
- Èireann has been divided into 5 major states: Falias, Ishtar, Cadarnle, Suilsanus, and Gaikha.
- 5 governors were appointed almost immediately, namely: ValkyrInvictus, Portal, Ezio, Burak, and Mikoto.
- The map of Èireann was updated to show the borders of each state.
- States have begun to name geographical regions in order to create a more detailed map.
Geography and Climate[]
Mainland[]
It is situated west of spawn, with only being 500 blocks from spawn's border. Èireann's landmass is the smallest of the 5 nations. It doesn't directly border any foreign kingdoms, this allows Èireann to expand as much as it can west and southwards. The closest kingdom to Èireann would be Stregabor to the northeast. Èireann features one landlocked sea and another inland sea which leads to a small strait leading to the greater ocean, with rivers running from them and traversing across the republic.
Due to it's small size, Èireann has a low biome diversity, having no Jungles, Tundra, or Mesas. The climate of the country can be divided across the middle, with the majority of East Èireann being dry and arid, while West Èireann receives more precipitation as it features most of the country's plains.
Outer Territories[]
Èireann has claims in the southern ocean, with one of the major territories being the Mushroom Island.
Other territories in the southern include the Emerald Colony and creeper farm.
Èireann also has it's own End Portal, it is located under the Withered Desert, the area where many Cadarnleans have gone to slay the wither.
The state of Ishtar will also claim territories far from Èireann and found new colonies in the near future.
States[]
Èireann has a total of 5 states, although only 4 are officially recognized and given the "state status", this is because Neverland(Site-27) serves a research facility under Burak and his Foundation.
Falias[]
It serves as the current capital of Èireann. Valkyrinvictus founded this town as Èireann's first town. It is situated off the southeastern coast of the Falias Sea. It is home to many of the original builds by the old members of Èireann.
Carthage[]
Directed by Portal since its founding, Carthage serves as the capital of all Ishtar lands with an expanse along the coasts of the Carthaginian Sea.
Cadarnle[]
Founded and governed by Ezio, this state's capital city, Cadarnle City was founded during President Portal's presidency. Cadarnle City is the city state capital of the region, home to the first few buildings built there. It was born from an abandoned village and quickly grew to become one of Èireann's most active regions. This state is the home of Crann Draoid, a magical tree that emits magic to the nature around it.

Races[]
The Republic States of Èireann has a long history of having the presence of non-human sentient life forms. The nation is home to many both legal and illegal denizens that are not human. Many of Èireann's southern lands used to be the home of forgotten races from the dawn of time. The region of Cadarnle once was the capital of an Elven Kingdom now lost to time.
Human[]
The predominant species of Everthorn, although many are not considered to be Everthornian as many have come from out of this world. Nothing special, yet ever so extraordinary, this species is capable of great feats of ingenuity that rivals that of the Elves.
Villager[]
A species of dependent and defenseless humanoid species. They are notable for their big noses and inseparable arms. Being master merchants and artisans, they offer a varying amount of goods that the people of Èireann trade for. Villagers are also often noted to be enslaved and confined, forced to work all their lives.
Elf[]
Only one known living elf dwells in Èireann in the present day, that elf being Cadarnle's local wizard. The elves used to be the predominant race in southern Èireann during the ancient times, now, little remains of their legacy save for the relics and ruins scattered throughout the Cadarnle and Meadannic regions. They were known to be excellent sorcerers and followers of the arcane and unlike humans, all elves posses the ability to perform magic.
Goblin[]
There are two subspecies of goblins found in Èireann, the Hobgoblins and the Wildelings. While both descending from the same group of ancestors, these two subspecies evolved differently as Hobgoblins are hybrids of Elves and Wildelings, thus technically making them of elvish origin as well. They have distinct characteristics are Wilde Goblins are more likely to have tusks, short, and are hairier in general while Hobgoblins are taller and lighter in color.
Hobgoblin[]
This species of goblin are part elvish, making them sensitive to magic and are thus stronger at it than there Wildeling counterparts. They are also more civilized and have higher intelligence. These goblins have learned to live with humans and are less aggressive towards non-goblins. Their settlements can be found across Èireann and these areas are specially under Hobgoblin rule. The Èireann government is tasked with maintaining friendly relations with the Hobgoblin Nation.
Wildelings[]
These group of goblins are much more savage and less intelligent than the Hobgoblins. They are the purest species of goblins, being brutish in nature and highly territorial. These goblins are not under the protection of the Èireann government and are sources of unrest in the country. They have many camps across the country, often hidden inside cave systems. They prey on weary travelers that stagger too far from the main roads and sometimes even ambush sections of the country roads. Rarely, a massive goblin horde may lay siege to a city or town.
