The Kingdom of Ransenar is a Kingdom in the continent of Benacia that was proclaimed in the year 1673 Ab Nortone by the remaining highly-organized partisan base of the Imperial Democratic Party. It is composed of the old territorial core of Goldshire, mainly the county of Ran. The Kingdom also claims the territory of the county of Elsenar, parts of northern Lunaris, and parts of western Ynnraile. It is bordered by the Shirerithian Regency to the west and the south, the Sovereign Confederation to the northwest, the Iron Company-held Earldom of Elsenar in the east, and the north the Halberd Strait.
Ransenar is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy, with the Shirerithian Kaiser as its symbolic and powerless monarch with a Lord High Steward selected by a popularly elected Congress. The Lord High Steward serves as the head of government.
Ransenar is a member of the Raspur Pact.
Etymology
The name of "Ransenar" comes from the Rannish and Elsenari peoples, who were the native tribes of the area at the time of the Treesians' arrival to Benacia. The name of these peoples begat the counties of Ran and Elsenar, which were the core of the Goldshirian territory.
