The Beardom is the largest plushie state and functions as a constitutional dual monarchy, with the first royal family being the House of Habsclaw and the second being the House of Beernadotte. The monarchy is mainly symbolic, with the democratic elections usually held every two months. After the election results are concluded, the participating political parties receive a corresponding number of seats based on their votes in the legislative chambers. The largest political party forms a coalition with other parties to secure a majority in the House of Representatives and occasionally the Senate as well. The head of the coalition is the prime minister, which is currently Beertje Bacon. The exact date of the Beardom's establishment is disputed, most trace its establishment to May 27th, 2014, the birth date of Beertje Bacon, while others date it to October 24th, 2025, when the Beardom became democratic. The capital is Beerdam. The Beardom is inhabited by six distinct races and the national currency is the Beardom Claw. The Beardom also has a state-funded news broadcast, the National Bearpaper.
History
Establishment
The Beardom was established on May 27th, 2014, by Beertje Bacon. After the establishment, Beertje Bacon ruled as monocrat for approximately eleven years. Initially he sided with the Tigerium against Tijgeron. However, not much later he joined Tijgeron's side for a while against the Tigerium. After a long conflict, Beertje Bacon apologized to Tijgertje, queen of the Tigerium, and was excused. He was allowed to remain in charge of the Beardom.
2025
October Protests
The Beardom was relatively stable up to late 2025. In may of that year, Beertje Maple escaped the void. Large amounts of bears saw Beertje Maple as a bear-equivalent of Tijgertje, and sought to depose Beertje Bacon.
Though Beertje Bacon and Beertje Maple had no direct quarrel, supporters of both sides clashed during the October Protests. Tigrish, older brother of Tijgertje, stepped in and negotiated a compromise between the two.
Supporters of Beertje Bacon didn't want to change their monocratic leader's rule, and stated that he was already accepted by Tijgertje for a long time, as well as having a lot more experience than Beertje Maple. Supporters of Beertje Maple argued it was time for change and Beertje Maple could be a well-governing queen, similarly to Tijgertje. Both sides openly saw Tijgertje as a "great leader".
The popular solutions were that Beertje Bacon is deposed and Beertje Maple is crowned as queen, Beertje Maple is exiled to the Tigerium and Beertje Bacon remains in power, or Beertje Bacon and Beertje Maple marry and form a monarchy. However, neither Beertje Bacon or Beertje Maple saw these three solutions as fit. Tigrish and the two bears met up and came with the solution to keep Beertje Bacon as prime minister but to crown Beertje Maple as a constitutional monarch, limiting her power and making her purely a symbolic icon.
Establishment of Democracy
This satisfied all Bacon-supporters and Maple-supporters, but during the October Protests the Sibears had risen up as well. They wanted independence because they argued they had no Sibears in the government. On the 18th of October, Beertje Maple married the Sibearian leader, Beertje Bor. Because of this event the Sibearian protests ceased, and the October Protests officially ended. Soon after the protests had ended, Beertje Bacon came with a major change. He declared the Beardom to be turned into a democracy, with the first elections appearing on October 25th-26th. Elections would appear every two months, there would be two legislative chambers, an upper chamber and a lower chamber, all bears gained the right to vote and bears with enough support could establish a political party.
Beertje Bacon and his brother, Crystal Master, formed the Constitutionele Berenpartij (CBP), the Constitutional Bear Party in English. The CBP also immediately gained most votes out of all parties, making Beertje Bacon a prime minister.
Several other parties were established as well, including the VBB, BSAP, Beer25, G66, GP, MMP, BVV, BP, PB, PaPa, APvV, BVD, SVP, LBB, WBB, KvK, BL and the PvaB.
The CBP, VBB, Beer25, ASC and BP formed the first coalition, Cabinet Bacon I. On November 2nd, LBB, WBB and BL were banned due to their "extremism", which caused unrest though eventually the unrest faded away again. Later during november, several other parties were established, including the GSSP, VSB and the KRV.

Government & Politics
King of the Beardom
since 8 November 2025
Prime Minister of the Beardom
since 26 October 2025
The government consists of the two royal families as well as the current cabinet, headed by the prime minister and made up by approximately ten other ministers. The legislature in the country passes the laws, which the four monarchs symbolically accept as well.
Dual Monarchy
The dual monarchy in the Beardom consists of the House of Habsclaw and House of Beernadotte.
Legislature
The bicameral legislature in the Beardom consists of a upper house, the Senate, and the lower house, the House of Representatives. The legislature creates and passes new laws.
Upper House
The upper house in the Beardom is the Senate. The Senate has 75 seats. Each seat is voted by the representatives of the provincial councils. The Senate can only approve or decline bills proposed by the House of Representatives. The Senate also monitors the government.
Lower House
The lower house in the Beardom is the House of Representatives. It has 150 seats, and is directly elected through democratic elections. Bears can vote for a representative of a certain party, which will add a vote to that specific representative as well as the party as a whole. The House of Representatives can submit bills that then have to be approved by the Senate. Anyone of the 150 representatives can submit a new bill, which prompts a vote for all 150 members. Each member will vote in favour or against the submitted bill.
However, primarily the coalition submits laws. If the coalition has a majority, the bill immediately passes through the House of Representatives. Then the senate has to approve or dissaprove of the bill.
