Vampire Congress of the United States of North Aegea

The Vampire Congress of the United States of North Aegea, or VACUSNA, is the body politic and corporate of the Vampires of the United States of North Aegea. VACUSNA is not a country in of itself. Rather, it is more akin to a confederation of sovereign States, such as the Human United States under their Articles of Confederation and perpetual Union (1476–1481). The Head of the Vampire Congress is their President, who is elected from among the membership of the Congress to a term of twelve years, renewable once consecutively. In being chosen President of the Congress, the Vampire so chosen is also given a Mandate by the membership of the Congress. In executing this Mandate, the President also represents the collective membership and positions of the Congress to the wider world.

The Vampire Congress of the United States of North Aegea was founded in 1474, around two years before the Humans of North Aegea would issue their Declaration of Independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain on July 4, 1476. While the Humans on both sides of the Atlantic fought each other in the North Aegean War of Independence, VACUSNA and the British Vampires largely stayed out of the Humans’ conflict, and did not themselves go to war with each other.
