Argland Council State

Argland Council State (アーグランド評議国) is a demi-human nation located northwest of the Re-Estize Kingdom and surrounded by mountains.

Background
The Argland Council State is a state formed by demi-humans. Currently, they live together harmoniously side by side.

In the Web Novel, among these demi-humans were the surrounding marine races like the Sea Lizardmen and Mermen who are also part of Argland Council State.

While so, the reigning leaders are the Five Dragon Councillors who lawfully set the policies for the nation. The Five Dragon Councillors are said to be very powerful.

On the other hand, this nation focuses on teaching unknown spells born from the wisdom of the Dragons to their magic casters.

The Lizard Man Heroes Arc
While reviewing a map of the New World with Albedo, Ainz commented that Nazarick would have to be careful with approaching the Argland Council State.

Politics
On a brief overview, management and operation of the nation is administered by a parliamentary system. The parliament is composed of representatives elected from each demi-human race. Holding the ultimate authority are the Five Dragon Councillors who are the permanent lawmakers.

Military Strength
As of yet, there is no concrete knowledge or evidence of the Argland Council State's background. However, it was noted that this nation is one of the few places, where Wild Magic may still be practiced. In the cardinals' perspective from the Slane Theocracy, they were said to be very powerful as Platinum Dragon Lord was among one of those councilors.

In the Web Novel, the country seems to enlist Dragon Knights in their ranks. As well as the adventurers are mostly comprised of demi-humans.

Slane Theocracy
The Slane Theocracy's doctrine promotes the discrimination and eradication of all demi-humans and non-humans. The formation and existence of a nation of demi-humans is seen as a grave threat to the supremacy of humanity. The Slane Theocracy's military has been known to wipe out entire villages of demi-humans in zealous fervor to their doctrine. In the Web Novel, Argland Council State's relationship with the Slane Theocracy is bad, and they both hate each other.

Baharuth Empire
According to Jircniv Rune Farlord El Nix, the Baharuth Empire maintains a political dialogue with the Council through its ministry of foreign affairs.
