==== Government and Politics ====
As of the 6th era of Dorian, the government of Akhentour is a representative republic known as the Pax Ultima. It is a tricameral parliament.

The '''High Council''' is composed of 3 senators each from the larger cities of Akhentour: Diomed, Garrod, Kavonne, Stonnet, and Wodesville. In addition, one senator is selected from certain towns with smaller, but still sizable, populations. Currently those towns are Lilingbroke, Monitska, Urster, and Urthagura. The High Council are tasked with adjudication of "common" laws made by the Low Council and the People's Seat, as well as intercontinental and foreign relations. The High Council is appointed via popular election every five years, can serve five terms total, and cannot serve past a certain age (defined by the type of being). They meet in the Grand Hall in Kavonne.

The '''Low Council''' is composed of delegates from each formally designated municipality (i.e., towns, villages, hamlets, etc) within Akhentour. Each municipality gains one delegate per 100 inhabitants of that municipality. The Low Council is tasked with creating, adjudicating, altering, and removing countrywide laws. The laws created by the Low Council supersede any provincial or municipal laws. Councilors are elected by popular vote every year, can serve ten terms total, and cannot serve past a certain age. They meet in the Lerosa Hall in Kavonne.

The '''People's Seat''' is a populist parliament composed of any and all citizenry of Akhentour. Its main job is to air grievances and collect information the Low and High Council can use to begin forming laws and edicts. The People's Seat has seven facilitators who are elected every year by popular vote, but anyone from Akhentour can attend any meeting. Facilitators have no term or age limits. They meet in the Perembale Auditorium in Kavonne.

Below the country government, each province of Akhentour has a provincial government made up of a single, smaller parliamentary of 51 members, the 51st member being the governor. which overseers regional affairs. Then, below that, each city has a municipal government made up of a mayor and advisors, though each town and city can change the details of this government greatly, and some do not even have a municipal government.

==== Economy ====
Akhentour's economy is budding currently, following the decimation of the country by Alrenn's forces. Most of the country's economy centers around mining and logging activities, followed up by a strong agricultural center in the Fertile Lands near Lilingbroke. However, exports have all but ceased other than trading with the dwarves of the Underdark. In fact, much of the economy in Akhentour is being kept aloft by old money from the former nobility whose assets have been liquidated to create a fungible currency while the country imports much of its necessary goods. The Pax Ultima is working hard to re-establish trading routes while also finding new routes, particularly with their nearby neighbors to the east, Deneshae and Isoasar.

==== Demographics ====
The official Storybearer census of 4088 VR determined the population in Akhentour to be roughly 500,000 inhabitants, a mere fraction of the nearly 2.6 million inhabitants counted in the previous census in 4055 VR. Moreover, the population went from majority human (74%) to majority wood elf, thanks to the elves' largely successful defense of Diomed during the Alrennean War.

The demographic breakdown is:

41% elf, wood

24% human

13% halfling

6% elf, high

4% dwarf

4% gnome

3% dragonborn

2% tabaxi

3% other

Monstrous and beastling race population is estimated at 50-80,000.
