Therran Nations and Rulers

Therran Nations and Rulers

Each nation/power has its own head of state or ruler. Regardless of rank, rulers must treat each other ruler (more or less) with respect, or risk war. Unless otherwise noted, rulers can be male or female. Nations are listed by their overall power and influence on the world stage.
