Introduction:

The New Farlands Company was established by Alberto Gutierrez of Santegia. The Company issues "Right of Conquest" Charters for unclaimed territories, essentially allowing owners of these Charters to own land and be recognized as formal territories of the Confederacy of Monteverde.

The Confederacy of Monteverde:

The Confederacy of Monteverde is a self-declared nation. Its current constitution is based on the text printed upon each charter the New Farlands Company issues. Because this nation has not yet been approved by staff, we offer an OOC promise of assisting each person (that has been issued a New Farlands Charter) with their title applications. Our goal is to eventually apply for Nation status, and for that reason, we require that applicants meet the same activity standards and expect contributions when necessary.

Summary:

• The Right of Conquest: Each Charter allows the holder of the Charter to lay claim to unclaimed land.
• The Right of Expansion: Each Charter-holder may issue contracts to other parties that bind them to their Charter, so that they may expand their territory in their name.
• Freedom to Organize a Militia: Each Charter allows the holder of each Charter to establish a militia for the defense of their claimed land.
• Collective Non-Aggression Pact: Each territory established by a Charter may not engage in violent confrontations with any other member of the Confederacy.
• Collective Defense Agreement: Each territory established by a Charter is entitled to military assistance for defense purposes.
• National Insurance: Each territory established by a Charter is entitled to financial aid from a collective fund raised from each territory.

Governance:

Each territory is entitled to one representative. Each representative has one vote. This Parliament allows for laws to be passed for all members of the Confederacy with a 2/3rd's vote. Each representative must be appointed by the leader of the territory, and they must have Skype. Decisions can be appealed on the basis on population, and what the "Greater Good" for the People of The Confederacy /truly/ is. Otherwise, each territory may govern themselves as they see fit, but failure to observe Parliament-imposed laws will result in dire consequences.

Character’s name: Arsenio Francisco de San Tiago (or Arsenio Santiago, preferably)

Character’s sex: Male

Character’s race: Human

Character’s age: 40

Biography: Arsenio Santiago was born in the southeastern region of Asul. There, he was raised under a plantation lifestyle wherein he lived off farming and rarely ever visited the more urban centers around his home. Though he would not become aware of it over his childhood, the business conducted from his family’s farm was actually part of an elaborate money laundering scheme by a local gang. As per the agreement, the farm would serve as a store front for the gang in exchange for a share of the gang’s profits. To further sustain appearances, Arsenio was made to join the battles of the Santegian Rebellion and its aftermath as a lowly footsoldier, but eventually was acknowledged as a Field Captain to lead in-battle strategy. However, upon receiving an injury, Arsenio retired. He used his military experience to militarize the gang which employed his parents, and eventually married into the mob. Soon, he would come to inherit leadership, which hardened Arsenio and gave him a variety of skills over the years.

Personality Traits: Arsenio is racist, elitist, and xenophobic. He shuns most other human cultures, rejects all races, and ignores those below his social class. On the other hand, he is also charismatic, clever, determined, and caring for his own. This has made him well-known in the slums, and respected by many for his good manners characteristic of military discipline.

Ambitions: Arsenio plans to establish a monopoly over the black market and elevate his social status.

Strengths/Talents: If Arsenio is good at anything, it is escape. Arsenio is known to somehow find a way out of most legal and political dilemmas, and has proven to be a decent lobbyist. Furthermore, this applies to being able to escape from situations of abduction. Arsenio is good at blending in.

Weaknesses/Inabilities: Arsenio needs to work on his physical condition. Though he was a soldier, his time away from battle had dulled his strength, making him uncoordinated when physically attacking someone and vulnerable to being overpowered. He has a weak left leg, which has yet to recover from its rebellion-caused injury.

Appearance: Arsenio has become scrawny and sickly pale over the years, and as indicated by his gray hair, he has not aged gracefully. However, he stands six foot tall, and his skin is covered by numerous battle scars.
