The Kingdom of Svart is unlike the rest of modern Europe in that the Church of Svart--led by the King--and the country's nobility still maintain political and economic power. This has led to criticism about the country's "constitutional monarchy" as neither comprehensive nor absolute.[1]
Svart leads a diplomatic union of countries; known members of this union include Nation A.[2]
