Administrative divisions of Natopia

Saint Andre is a demesne of Natopia. It is entirely surrounded by Shireroth, with Floria directly north of Shireroth; located in the continent of Apollonia. Its capital and largest city is the city of Port St. Andre, one of Natopia's most important commercial and entrepot trade ports. The city was world headquarters and namesake of SATCo until the escalation of the Sxiro-Jingdaoese Confrontation required its headquarters to move to Lindstrom. It was independent for a time, then part of Haifa, and then independent for a time again until joining Natopia. Because it was independent, it still maintains the Saint Andre national football team. Chancellor Benjamin Meir was a prominent Andrino citizen.

Etymology

It is named after Andreas the Wise, the Bovic saint of economics.

Government

The Principality of Saint Andre functions as a demesnial government under the constitutional framework of the Natopian Empire. It is one of the constituent demesnes of the Most Serene Union of Dos Gardenias and exercises a high degree of local autonomy in areas such as economic regulation, urban development, internal security, and education. The demesne operates under a Demesnial Charter, which defines the structure and authority of its institutions in accordance with imperial law.

Executive authority is vested in the Mayor of Saint Andre, who oversees day-to-day administration and implements policies passed by the local legislature. The legislative body, known as the Council of Saint Andre, is a unicameral assembly responsible for drafting laws, approving budgets, and providing oversight of the executive branch. The Prince or Princess of Saint Andre serves as the ceremonial head of the demesne and Vicereine, representing its identity and traditions within the broader imperial framework. Supreme authority remains with the Empress of the Natopians who acts as the sovereign of the entire empire, though her role in local governance is primarily symbolic. Saint Andre coordinates closely with imperial ministries on matters of defense, trade, and foreign policy, while retaining full control over its internal governance.

Economy

Saint Andre's economy is highly diversified and export-oriented, serving as a key logistics, finance, and innovation hub within Natopia and the Raspur Pact. Major sectors include shipping, defense manufacturing, financial services, information technology, and advanced logistics. The demesne benefits from its strategic coastal location, deepwater ports, and its role as an anchor of Pact-wide trade routes.
