Præfekturet Langeland under Danmark, officially recognized on March 1st, 2029, had an initial population of 3,567, as determined by the employee roster and dependents. Globally, this territory is commonly referred to as Langeland or Perfectland, signifying its acknowledged existence and distinctive identity.
This sovereign state consists of the main island of Langeland and the smaller island of Siø, covering a combined land area of approximately 284 square kilometers (110 square miles). Langeland has been enhanced with numerous power facilities harnessing hydroelectric, solar, and oil energy sources. Count Magnus St. Sere initiated the establishment of a sophisticated intranet system, supported by a Starlink satellite connection, ensuring seamless communication, water supply, and waste treatment services.
Siø has been uniquely repurposed as an open-range prisoner confinement area, where inmates contribute to public works in exchange for their sustenance and integration into the community. Moreover, over half of Langeland's landmass has been transformed into productive farmland. Its cultivated fields not only keep the citizens well-fed but also serve as the linchpin of a stable currency system, where the value is anchored by tiny square millimeters of land.
The Count’s ambition manifested more visibly with the reinforcement of his castle, a sturdy fortress that now towers over Perfectland's landscape. An array of technologically advanced, often automated gun turrets safeguard the harbors, a clear statement of the Count's resolve to protect his domain.
For those who have resided in Præfekturet Langeland under Danmark prior to its official recognition, the evolution of governance has granted them a unique empowerment. Although some absolute rights may have been recalibrated under the new leadership of Count Magnus St. Sere, the local population wields considerable influence over community matters and daily life.
In contrast to the upheaval experienced by many regions around the world, the transition in Langeland and Siø was comparatively smooth. The established infrastructure was not only preserved but also substantially improved upon. With the ingenuity of the Count's leadership, the islands now boast a robust network of renewable energy resources, advanced agricultural practices, and fortified defenses—all while maintaining essential services and even enhancing them.
The resilience and foresight of the new ruling structure have meant that the islanders, unlike so many others, have weathered the storm of the Great Collapse relatively unscathed. Today, they find themselves in an enviably secure position, with a fortified society that is well-fed, well-defended, and connected to the wider world. Perfectland, thus, stands as a beacon of stability and progress in a time when such traits are in scarce supply.
Præfekturet Langeland under Danmark operates under the principles of "Korrigerende demokrati," or "Corrective Democracy." Each citizen is equipped with a complimentary cellphone, which serves as both their unique official identifier and their means to exercise their democratic vote.
Proposals for addressing community concerns are submitted via an online platform and subjected to a week-long period of rigorous public debate. Throughout this week, initial suggestions are refined and distilled into a final version known as a proclamation. Once finalized, this proclamation is offered to the citizens for a vote, with the majority ruling typically being decisive.
In cases where a proclamation, despite its popular support, is considered inappropriate or poses potential risks, the ruling sovereign wields the power to veto it. However, this executive decision is subject to a system of checks and balances, as the monarch's spouse holds the capacity to override such a veto, thus acting as a safeguard against unilateral decisions by the sovereign.
Once a proclamation has successfully navigated this process, it is formally enacted as law. All such laws are systematically recorded in an online registry, readily accessible for public review, ensuring transparency and accountability in the legislative process.
The current governance system has not always been in place in Præfekturet Langeland under Danmark. The island was a straight monarchy for the first five years of its existence, during which fortifications of the castle and surrounding areas was established. On March 1st, 2034, the governance structure was shifted to the present model of "Corrective Democracy," under the rule of the current Count Magnus St. Sere.
