Pontonare Politics
From Xinda
The politics of the Caropsyne Pontanore are dominated by a number of recurring themes and undercurrents that must be understood, if Pontanore Politics are to be understood:

Working Conditions
The Pontanore working week is considered sacrosanct in most political circles, after the deposition of several officials in places of responsibility within the Interior Ministry, as a result of leaked plans for extending standard working hours. Since then, politicians have been reluctant to alter the existing arrangements.
The Fostana
The Fostana, whilst mostly popular, holds a divisive position within Pontanore Politics. The power held by the Fostana allows it to effectively aid in "King-making" upon the election of new governments. The closeness between Rolmand, Lord Roth and Miria Seranoda is seen as having smoothed her path to power, whereas Fostana opposition to Dr. Haldric Maldian, is thought to have played the most important role in stimulating his downfall.
The Cadriana
Seranoda's new Cadriana is seen as somewhat pointless throughout much of the Pontanore. There are concerns that it will cripple existing government structures and bring down the stability of the Pontanore.
Foreign Affairs
Pontanore governments are often reluctant to form close relations with other powers, owing to a surprising level of xenophobis throughout the Pontanore's ethnically-Caropsyne territories. Ardalia's relationship with the Pontanore is somewhat unstable, owing to memories of conflicts between the two nations. "Ardalian" is still synonymous with "drunk" or "wife-beater" in colloquial speech in Carops. In the same way, public opinions of Latagonians and Caldari shift regularly, with Latagonians generally seen as imperialist, uncultured, and having poor personal hygiene, whereas Caldari are viewed as ruthless, efficient, short, and boring. These somewhat unrealistic prejudices are often enough to determine popular support for foreign policy, regardless of contemporary situations.
