Sera Liberale
Home to pirates, criminals, and other unwelcome citizens of Lutar Minohn, Sera Liberale is a luxurious place like the rest of the Maritime Principalities, but it is not a place where most people would wish to find themselves. There is some amount of order to the town thanks to its mayor, but that doesn't make it safe. As long as no killing happens, people here are free to do what they wish.
The Maritime Princes allow the outpost to exist because they often hire these pirates and ne'er-do-wells as privateers for some of their more underhanded operations. As long as they pay their (somewhat high) taxes, they are allowed to hide in Sera Liberale and are afforded some amount of diplomatic protection from other nations.
Of course, there is still trade and economy coming through the town and many will find very rare, otherwise illegal items in the town. Some old pirates retire to run small vineyards or plantations in the area. Others find business in building and repairing ships.
Demographics
There is a large variety of races present in Sera Liberale, from the exotic to the mundane. Humans are somewhat common here, as the criminal underworld tends to be a good place to hide. The downside to this, though, is that humans are often captured here and sold or taken to other countries for free labor.
Government
Five Fingered Norwood doesn't run a very tight ship. He keeps things orderly on the surface and deals with any major conflicts, but otherwise, he has his hand in every pot, taking a cut of most criminal proceedings as part of the taxes that are owed to the other Maritime Princes. The guards in Sera Liberale aren't much different from a gang.
Defences
Walls surround the edges of the main town to protect it from would-be invaders who seek to eliminate the pirate threat. A strong navy is almost always present due to the nature of its inhabitants, and there are plenty of stores of munitions as well as sources of food from plantations and farms.
Infrastructure
Plantations, vineyards, shipwrights, general trade, black market trade
Geography
Sera Liberale sits on Salne, one of the largest islands in the Sayale Archipelago. It is a tropical island and is too small to support any other major settlements. Its view is as beautiful as any other island but lacks easy access to freshwater. Because of this, most pubs and taverns have water purification machines to create freshwater. Freshwater is also obtained through trade and can be transported quite quickly from other principalities.
