Nortalia/Legends

"I believe in this nation. During my campaign, I made a lot of promises to the people of Nortalia. I came through with them, I made them happen. That's why I believe my successor will be able to carry on the legacy I'm leaving behind."

- Unidentified Union President

Nortalia was a unitary state found on the Solar System planet Earth. It was founded from northerns of the now-defunct nation Talia, which was overthrown from a civil war prior to its collapse.

The nation was led by an elected Prime Minister who in turn led the Ruling Council. Its legislative and judicial sections were led by an elected Minister who oversaw the Senate and Court.

Formation
After overthrowing the oppressive Talian government, Nortalia became an independent nation and had its established its own government and had the leader of their revolution appointed as its first Prime Minister, who also chose the first Minister. Vaxsås became the nation's capital city.

However, unlike their southern neighbors, Nortalia didn't adopt the republic form of government, considering its nation as a private matter rather than a public matter. While it did not create any tension with the public, it did allow the Prime Minister to exercise power similar to that of an emperor, but not making Nortalia a full empire.

Union of Earth States
By 81 BBY, Nortalia was one of the largest nations on Earth and was considered a very powerful state compared to its lesser known southern neighbor. When nations of the world came together to form the Union of Earth States, Nortalia was chosen as the capital state, and Williamtown was designated as the Union Government's new capital city.

The current Prime Minister at the time had resigned from his position and became the first Union President, allowing Nortalia's Minister to ascend to the office of Prime Minister.

Military
Much like its governmental component, the Nortalian military was a formidable military force whose power was invested into the Chief Marshal, who is chosen by the Prime Minister themselves.

The Nortalian military consisted of an army, navy and air force. The majority of these forces were absorbed into the reserve branches of the Union Armed Forces, though they weren't fully integrated and still were under the command of the nation's Prime Minister and Chief Marshal.
