The Blackbird Territories consist of five autonomous states, which share a name with their capitals. They are: Blackbird, Prestige, Rhode, Sheet, and Forest-Marsh. All of them are ruled by a dignitary who is a subordinate to the president, currently President Irik, the half-Stewgriffin, half-Stewshark. Before Irik's reign, the Blackbird Territories were controled by the monarchy. The last king was King Peacock, father of President Irik.
