 ==== Regions ====
 Arenti has four provinces officially recognized by the Arentian government.
-  * **Reggio:** This province covers the eastern coastline of Arenti. It is the most populous region, and also has the highest amount of recorded history about it. The area has the Alba river, which flows from Lake Buttercup in the north. The area is hot, dry, and sunny during the summer months, receiving most of its rain in the colder parts of the year.
+ === Reggio ===
-  * **Amonsa:** The northwestern portion of Arenti borders Vervand via the Crideann Mountains. This side of the mountains is more arid due to said mountains. Very few towns exist in Amonsa given the arid nature, but it certainly is the most biodiverse part of the country. It is hot almost year round, and receives very little precipitation, to boot.

-  * **The Painted Sands:** Located slightly north of the Crideann Mountains, the Painted Sands is one of Arenti’s most beautiful landmarks. It was initially named as such due to the exposed and heavily varied soil composition giving off very vibrant colors. In recent years, this has become more literal, as several artists have fled to the sands as a test of skill, usually leaving behind some sort of painting in the sand. These usually don’t stay for long, due to being blown away, but it is a nice retreat for some. It is unknown if any civilization has been established in the sands, as it has yet to be thoroughly explored.
+ === Amonsa ===
-  * **Platterra:** Platterra is the flattest region of the country. Because of this, it is perfect for both agriculture and for raising horses. Many of Arenti’s horses and unicorns are bred in the Platterra region. As such, equestrian events are very popular. Platterra is also the wettest of the regions, though admittedly that’s a low bar. Still, Platterra is dotted with many small lakes and streams that eventually feed into the Alba River.

 ==== Laws & Governance ====
 For the past millennium, Arenti has been ruled by the People’s Republic of Arenti. It is a type of representative democracy: specifically a parliamentary republic. Each of the country’s major regions serve as larger districts. These large districts are divided into smaller districts for a few distinct purposes. Members of the parliament are chosen to represent each smaller district. These elections happen every five years. As of late, the judicial system has seized far more power than before, with the **Iudex** (or High Judge) being the national leader.
+As of 2558, the Arentian Iudex is Judge **Chrysanthe Félicien Roux,** a human woman in her mid-60s.
 Arenti does not have much in the way of military power.  After their extremely blood-filled history, the leaders during the New Republic began to put less of a focus on military efforts. Whilst images of old Arenti soldiers riding on war-unicorns still decorate the halls of many government buildings and murals, this is an image from a bygone era. Arenti’s military is very small compared to its two neighbors, having the smallest of the three members of the Oxis. Most of Arenti’s current laws are very basic. A lot of them are either newer, or are common laws found everywhere.

 In the modern day, Ninism does not proselytize much, as many followers are aware that mainstream Cahyalic faith may see their beliefs as heretical. In addition, many Ninites view mainstream belief as mostly true, just a little misguided, and elect not to fight that particular battle too hard.
-In Arenti, the Saints do not all receive an equal amount of worship. While there are none that go completely without recognition, Saint Almar and Saint Arakh are the most widely praised. Saint Toth is most widely worshiped in Reggiarte, while Saint Vormaxia is popular in Lumier. Saint Tenebrius has gained a larger following in recent years, especially in Qualea. The rest have worshippers who are quite scattered. Saint Peregrinus and Saint Marutuk receive the least praise, with many in the modern era finding certain aspects of the two to be against what the country stands for.
