Dunmaerik (done-mair-ick)

Dunmaerik is a landlocked country in the center of Omath, located on the Dunmaer Plateau. It is bordered on the west by the Confederation of Fieren, on the northeast by the Kingdom of Nuaira, on the east by Venidon, and on the South by the Kingdom of Falcrest . The territory now forming Dunmaerik is much smaller than historical boundaries as a result of the country losing The Emerald War - prior to the war the country had stretched from its eastern boundary with Venidon to the Western Sea, encompassing what is now Fieren.
Dunmaerik is divided into eight provinces. These provinces are claimed by various lords and ruled independently of the others with no central government, with the exception of Haladra, which is loosely ruled by a tribal council. Each province is divided into city-states, each ruled by warlords of varying power and influence. Each warlord answers to their province's ruler and maintains the military force for their local region.
Dunmaerik is an impoverished country, reeling from its defeat and lack of central government. Local warlords hold resources and limit trade, while provincial lords levy severe taxes upon their subjects to fill their coffers. The average citizen earns less than one silver per month, and most maintain small farms in addition to any marketable trade skills they may possess. There are few roads in Dunmaerik, and those that exist have never been repaired following the war. Travel is either horse-based or on foot, and as such communication is quite rare between cities or provinces. Most cities are one to two days apart (by horse).
