History and Geography
The Federated States of Bellatoria was originally founded as the Kingdom of Bellatoria, but a revolution in 1988 by the Dukes against the inept king created the Free State of Bellatoria.
The Free State of Bellatoria continued its existance until 1999 when the Internet embassy was founded. The Free State was abolished after the annexation of the rest of Alabama and the lands of Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia. The Council of Stewards named this nation the Federated States of Bellatoria.
The Council of Stewards have governed Bellatoria since the Revolution of '88. Originally each Duke was represented on the Council, but the Council was compacted with the addition of the title Archduke and all Archdukes became the only Council members.
In the year 2000, the Federated States annexed the lands of Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
Currently there are only four active Archdukes. The remaining Archducal seats are held in trust by the Council until a worthy noble can be granted the title of Archduke.
