GORUT (Go-ROO)

Gorut is found at the most Southern coast of Torusa. Gorut has the best navy base and is found to be the most patriotic. Gorut is led by one person voted in office called the Sayr (say-er) backed by the Sayr Congress whom earns their title through honors and exceptional work. The Sayr gets one term of ten years and cannot run again unless there is over 80 percent of the people’s vote back into the office. This has only happened twice. Those that are in Sayr Congress have offices in which they focus on. These offices are; Office of International affairs, office of publicity, office of treasury, office of military, office of Harganoph affairs, office of allegiance, and the office of history.

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

The office of international affairs focuses on the welfare of the people and their education and development. These people are the voice of the nation and work to make every voice heard, if they do their job right.

PUBLICITY

Office of publicity deals with the propaganda, the media and all other affairs that have to deal with keeping information outside and inside maintained between the people and the ‘outside world.’ Within Gorut, their main focus is to make sure that all ‘unexplained events’ are explained through ‘miracles’ or ‘abominations’ and not ‘magic.’ All are in quotes as they are not politically correct. A sub-office is the office of supernatural affairs.

Supernatural Affairs

This sub-office is secret and unheard of except from conspiracy theorists. Their job is to directly inform the Order of those who are in violation in the using of ‘magic’ in Torusa, Gorut in particular. This sub-office, however, extends with members of those all over Torusa and maintains all that is as such.

TREASURY

Office of treasury deals with the financial stability of Gorut and where the money will be given. This office is usually slightly corrupt and the finances go to where it would benefit their classes and biases, a problem that usually clashes with international affairs.

MILITARY

Office of military are those that have nothing but the most patriotism and love for Gorut, but often alienize and make antagonists of all outside sources. They keep peace both within and without the borders of Gorut and many times help the alliance of Torusa for attacks on the Sovet kingdoms. The navy is their strongest weapon and Gorut holds most islands near Torusa.

Office of military and those they lead are very aware of the ‘magic’ that happens all over the world, but are taught to be so afraid and angry at it that they obey the order to keep it secret from the general public and to destroy the 'magic' that poses a threat. The only setback to this is their hatred for the Order as a result, and often they prove to be difficult to the Order.

HARGANOPH

The office of Harganoph affairs are similar to the international affairs, except their interest is in the benefit for all of Harganoph and often lead towards being a superpower to try and help the world, even where they are not wanted. The irreplaceable benefit of them, however, is that this is where most of the volunteer, donations and goodness of mankind goes to and keeps many good alliances for Gorut whereas otherwise Gorut would be a completely hated power.

ALLIANCE

The Office of Alliance is the center of the web, finding applicants for the congress and keeping up to date with all the information and all the uncensored and censored notes on things that may potentially harm Gorut or Torusa’s goal to overpower the Sovet kingdoms.

HISTORY

The office of History is often the quiet one in the back of the group. It consists of few party members and has little say in any matters. However, they are a crucial part to the success of Gorut because they research the mistakes made in the past that can be duplicated in the present to jeopardize the future. The office of history, in many ways, is like the conscience of the congress.

TERMS OF THE SAYR

The job of the Sayr is to be the deciding factor as to what paths to take for Gorut. They are also the public speaker and the figurehead for all things that Gorut does. In the event that the Sayr is not doing their job, there can be a demotive action placed if the majority of the population passes a Bill to the congress and over half of them agree that the Sayr needs to be demoted and another Sayr will be voted into the office.

In the event the Sayr is deceased, it passes to the Sayr’s appointed trustee and secretary until the end of the term the voted Sayr would have been out of office. Often times, the secretary is the one that is demoted. In a demotion, as it was the Sayr that hired the secretary, the secretary does not automatically get office, but does have the option of running for office. If the replacement in the event of a deceased or demoted Sayr exceeds five years exactly, then they may not run for office a second time. If it is that amount or less, they may run for a second time.

STATES

Gorut is the only one with actual separated states within the country. There are nine states made by islands and 31 states on land, making 40 in all.

15. Nooyurk (New-yurc)
Capital: Bruklin (Brawk-lynn)
Nooyurk is a state where there has been an increase in crime, gangs and children orphaned. The cities are big and the air often smells like factories. As they are near the coast, the fishing in that area is not highly recommended. Bruklin's sea ports bring a lot of imports and exports between Garot and other continents. Visitors to Gorut often port here as well. For those that are unemployed, it is said to those looking for jobs that the port is always hiring. It is known to be sexist however, usually choosing attractive and strong men as to promote business. Nooyurk's major exports are potatoes, melons, automobile parts, and cardboard. This is also known as the 'hero capital' as the major comic books are published here. Also there are 'heroes' and 'villains' that originate from this area, though it could be a combination of the comic books and the direct connection to Curtesia.
