Corsica (Reign of Kings)

Corsica, officially called the Kingdom of Corsica is a sovereign and autonomous country with a constitutional and hereditary monarchy that was established by the Act of Union with France signed on 1 December 1918. It is the fourth-largest island in the Mediterranean and lies southeast of the French mainland, west of the Italian Peninsula and immediately north of the Italian island of Sardinia, the land mass nearest to it. A single chain of mountains makes up two-thirds of the island. In 2016, it had a population of 330,455.

It is ruled by the monarchs of France in personal union with their other realms. The kingdom was administered from Ajaccio by a the lord lieutenant appointed by the king or queen. Corsica had its own legislature, while the French Parliament controlling most areas apart from military defence, policing, justice, currency, and foreign affairs.

Administration
The Corsican government holds executive power in local government affairs. The Lord Lieutenant represents the Queen of France and acts as the autonomous country's head of state. The head of government is the premier who is appointed by the Lord Lieutenant, who leads the largest in Corsican Parliament, from which the Sovereign Council of Corsica is appointed. The Kingdom of Corsica was legislated by the bicameral Parliament of Corsica, consisting of the Sovereign Council and the Legislative Assembly. The Sovereign Council is made of fifteen administrator-generals (administrateur-générals), appointed by the Minister of the Interior on the advice of the governor. The Legislative Assembly is composed of delegates elected from each district for three-year terms.

There are several groups and two nationalist parties (the autonomist Femu a Corsica and the separatist Corsica Libera) active on the island calling for some degree of Corsican autonomy from France or even full independence. Generally speaking, regionalist proposals focus on the promotion of the Corsican language, more power for local governments, and some exemptions from national taxes in addition to those already applying to Corsica.
