History
It was known as the 26 Republics until 1755 when Drexler overthrew the government of Haartenvald, a then small republic on the edge of the territory. He declared war on the 4 neighboring republics of Westphalen, Vurtburg, Dijkstat, and Vaud. He achieved a swift victory conquering them all. In doing so, relinquishing his place on the Electoral Council of The Republics, declaring his own new "Grand Republic". After this brutal war, the emperor mandated that no wars shall be held within the empire, under threat of coalition.
Demography and Population
Very diverse population, has the largest communities of traditional elven culture, as well as some orc and dwarven culture (rarely).
Territories
The territory is largely vast open fields, and tall jagged mountains with rolling hills.
Military
Each state has its own military, which historically have all been used frequently, as each republic seems to hate each other republic. During the current time of peace however, there is no war by imperial mandate.
Religion
Some of the most pious communities in the world reside here, communities that worship specific gods, etc.
Foreign Relations
No republics are on particularly good terms with eachother, except Rugen which is considered the wealthiest and largest republic and has good relations with most others.
Trade & Transport
Due to the amount of bandits and deserters, trade and transport by land is considered fairly unsafe. Because of this, Rugen has flourished as the second largest trade hub on the continent. It is still small compared to Voxport however.
Infrastructure
the roads are torn and wrecked, banditry runs rampant outside the cities.
