Libertalis

" Freedom, prosperity, stability. " Libertalis is one of the factions on the Astral SMP.

Founded by Enxi, Serva, and Solam at the very beginning of the server on January 1, 2021, it currently stands as one of the most powerful and largest factions on the server.

It is a civilian autocracy/oligarchy hybrid, with Enxi being elected as President by (at the time) the other two members of the faction, and then the three of them formed the Council of Founders to rule Libertalis' other citizens. Despite this, Enxi is generally known to be a thoughtful leader, listening well to his citizens' wishes. Libertalis also, notably, has no official state-sanctioned religion and generally regards itself as atheistic by default, with citizens being free to worship however they'd like.

The Council of Founders
The Council of Founders (whose members are often referred to as just "Founders") is the primarily ruling group in Libertalis. Generally, Enxi has the most power within the Council and absolute power over the other two, with Serva coming in second and Solam having the least sway, but all three Founders usually consult with each other when it comes to decision-making.
 * Enxi (President of Libertalis)
 * Serva (Enxi's Advisor)
 * Solam (Ambassador)

Citizens
All citizens of Libertalis have access to exclusive benefits, including free usage of Libertalis' community storage, mines, villagers, and EXP grinder.
 * Ferrous
 * One other undisclosed citizen.

Geography
Libertalis was built at the edge of a mildly-hilly spruce forest around the coordinates (-100x, -100z). Enxi cleared out the valley between a few border hills by hand, creating the space in which most buildings in Libertalis have been created thus far. The forest itself is rather thin surface-area-wise, bordered on one side by the edge of the spawn plains and on the other by a swamp.

Locations

 * Libertalis Town Hall - built by Enxi, the town hall also serves as his place of residence.
 * Serva's House - situated by the natural edge of the swamp.
 * Solam's House - built on top of the hill between the Town Hall and Serva's house, opposite the mines. Technically the first building to be built in the new nation.
 * Ant's Hobo Hut - a small hole at the base of the hill that Solam's house is built on. Ant lives there despite not being affiliated with Libertalis at all, due to a grant from Enxi.
 * Maiko's Cafe - a cafe that Maiko was given a permit to build, in order to help boost Libertalis' economy.
 * Mines - the initial mineshaft dug out by Serva upon Libertalis' creation. A secret route is shared with all citizens that leads to Libertalis' private cave spider EXP grinder.
 * Docks - the docks that Solam built over the swamp, to expand Libertalis' buildable surface area.

Uniform
Created as a tool for order and visual unity, Libertalis' uniform consists primarily of a grey, standard-issue revolutionary coat with golden epaulets and buckles, and a white undershirt. Neckties are also required as part of the uniform, but to allow members some additional personalization, they can choose whatever color they want. Past that, citizens are required to wear dark-colored long pants, a belt of some sort, and any shoes or boots they like.

As Enxi is the president of Libertalis, he wears a special, modified version of the revolutionary coat, with purple epaulets and buckles.

As Ferrous has taken a vow of piety, he wears an unofficial "modest" version of the uniform, with steel-grey epaulets and coat buckles.
