The Confederacy of Graad.

The industrial hub of the Remnant Archipelago, the Confederacy of Graad is a mining community of largely Orcs and Half-Orcs. They are the major competitor of the Dwarves , and lsupply ore and ingots to the rest of the archipelago. Generally speaking, the Orcs work the mines, while the Half-Orcs and less light-blind races handle the more complicated tasks on the surface, but there are plenty of Graadi Orcs that defy stereotype.

Government

Anarcho-syndicalism, with Democratic Confederalism on the local level. Essentially, all businesses are cooperative ventures, and goods should be distributed equitably to all members of a society based on need, not a market. If surplus goods are to be sold on the open market (to Insulinde or Hylia, most likely), the proceeds are divided among the members of that commune or cooperative (and how a given commune or cooperative handles currency is decided by each commune or cooperative).
For political decision-making, local communities hold popular assemblies to make political decisions at the local level, with an emphasis on consensus (with a majority vote as a last resort). They then decide on a delegate to send to the confederate level of the district, Graad, where the local consensus' are united with the consensus' from the urban cooperatives, and confederacy-wide consensus on policy decisions is sought.

Industry & Trade

They both appreciate and dislike Insulinde, as they sell and distribute the majority of Graad's output - at a premium that Insulinde can charge due to it's stranglehold on maritime trade. There are many Graadi who would like to get in on that action, and they are in the process of making a trade agreement with Hylia to supply the kindgom directly with minerals, using the House of Courage

Infrastructure

Mines, Smelters, irrigated farmland.

History

Originally founded by a group of Khorazel expatriates, who left the Green for cities, and liked what they saw, but were disilunsioned by the restrictions and material greed of the "civilized world". A chance encounter with a Revacholian philosopher, fleeing the monarchy's crackdowns, gave this group of Orcs and Half-Orcs the theoretical grounding their ideal society would need. They knew that civilization as the outsiders know it starts with farming and mining, and they set out to do the same.
Azog Kropot set his sights on the Hoan/Hoan-Terpit river valley, and recruited like-minded individuals (both from the Khorazel and neighboring cities) to join his agricultural cooperative.
