Free State of Rauviz
One of the Successor States on the shore of Lake Coy'in.
With the start of the Time of Troubles, it has grown to encompass some of its neighboring cities from both Crisial Kingdom and the Duarchy.
Major Cities
Economics
- Exports/major production
- TRADE, textiles
- Imports
- raw materials other than food
Government
Merchant city state under council of burghers.
As of late autumn 253, it has descended into a military-backed oligarchy under three members of the Cheesemonger's Society, backed by most of Golden Banner's forces.
As of the Time of Troubles, it has reformed into a mixed monarchy:
- A king (currently Reginald Basset)
- An Executive Council composed of the heads of the 8 most powerful families.
- A 40-member People's Parliament chosen by the people at large.
Officially, the King is in charge of the military. Actually, he's just the head of state and first among equals on the council; Eli Jones of Golden Banner is the real head of the military (mostly composed of GB veterans) while officially only being Head of State Security. The Council holds executive, legislative, and judicial power, but the Parliament holds the power of the purse and sets tax rates (and hires/controls the tax collectors). It works, but can be shaky. Very very corrupt.
Demographics
- highly mixed. Can find people from the whole Federated Nations here.
Religion
Highly pluralistic, indigenous religion oriented around Kela Loran in her role as goddess of wealth and prosperity.
Culture
- anything goes, if you have money.
- Neutral greedy.
