Regional Symbols of Andrendia (Pacifica)

Each Region of the Axolotl Empire of Andrendia has one or more Regional Symbols. The symbols are elements related to the history or culture of the Region and range from food to natural beauties to buildings.

History of the Symbols

Regional Symbols were established for the first time in 1861, after Emperor Andrea Oloto V, during a dinner with the Leader of the Regional Council of Brickia, discussed making the Andreian Potato, typical Brickian food, a National Symbol. The Council Leader said it would've been a bit exaggerated to make a simple potato breed a National Symbol so he proposed the creation of Regional Symbols, since other Regions also had important Symbols and similiar elements. So some week later the Emperor made the Regional Symbols official. In the following years all regions adopted one or more Symbols and to this day more proposals for new ones are brought up in the Regional Councils from time to time. The most recent Regional Symbol to be added to the list is the Perlian Parakeet, Regional Symbol of Perla.
