'''Lucrecia''', officially the '''Most Serene and Federative Republic of Lucrecia''' ({{wp|Galician language|Isurian}}: ''Serenísima e República Federativa de Lucrecia''; [[Emeritan Pelaxian|Pelaxian]]: ''Serenísima y República Federativa de Lucrecia''), is an archipelago country in the [[Kindreds Sea]]'s [[Catenias]], consisting of three major islands. It is characterized by its bilingual, bicultural nature, consisting of both both [[Isurians]] and [[Pelaxians|Pelaxian]] cultures.

It is characterized by its bilingual, bicultural nature, consisting of both [[Lucrecio-Isurians|Isurian]]-, and [[Emeritans|Pelaxian]]-influenced cultures.


Lucrecia is a {{wp|sovereign state|sovereign}} {{wp|federalism|federal}} {{wp|diarchic}} {{wp|directorial republic}} under a {{wp|semi-presidential|semi-presidential system}}. Although the highest rank in the country is that of the [[Grand Duke in Lucrecia|grand duke]], it should be noted that the title is purely ceremonial and cultural; it carries no authority nor designation as the {{wp|head of state}} (hence why the title uses "in" instead of "of"). Its federal structure is highly complex, consisting of both highly {{wp|autonomous}} [[Communities, cantons, and linguistic areas of Lucrecia|cantons]], of which there are four (the [[Emeritan Republic]], the [[Isurian Generality]], the [[Merida-Presidential Canton]], and the [[Toledo-Administrative Canton]]), and linguistic areas, of which there are two (the [[Pelaxian Community]], and the [[Isurian Community]]). The Presidential and Administrative cantons are officially bilingual in Pelaxian and Isurian. This complex form of government, formed from linguistic diversity and sociopolitical conflicts, is reflected in the fact that there exists no less than [[List of governments of Lucrecia|seven different governments]] within Lucrecia.

A popular tourism spot, the Lucrecian economy has begun to grow with the rising service sector to accompany the otherwise agriculture dependent nation.
The country derives its name from the [[Pelaxian language|Pelaxian]] translation of the name "Lucretia", itself in reference to {{wp|Lucretia}}, a [[Caphiria|Caphiric]] noblewoman whose brutal murder at the hands of a son of King Admoneptis inspired an aristocratic revolt that overthrew the Caphiric monarchy in favour of the Caphiric Republic, of which Lucrecia derives its form of government from and retained in an unchanged form from the establishment of the [[Emeritan Republic]] in 178 BC until the 1970s when a series of reforms dubbed the "Popular Amendments" federalised the nation as well as rationalising and democratising the legislature. With the traditional foundation date being 178 BC, Lucrecia lays claim to being one of the oldest extant sovereign states, as well as the oldest {{wp|constitutional republic}}.
 
The federal government is unique in that it consists of a diarchic head of state, those being the [[Consuls of Lucrecia|Consuls]], as well as a {{wp|tricameral}} [[General Assemblies of Lucrecia|legislature]], itself consisting of the [[Senatorial House]], representing the aristocracy, the [[Centuriate Assembly]], representing the cantons and communities, and the [[Popular Assembly]], representing the provinces. According to the [[Constitution of Lucrecia|constitution]], the Consuls are elected for a two-year term by the Centuriate Assembly; the Consuls serve concurrently and share equal powers.
 
As a popular tourist spot, one of the largest sectors of the Lucrecian economy is in {{wp|tourism}}, as well as {{wp|service (economics)|services}}, and {{wp|retail}}.
