The Tzovak Republic

The Republic: glittering and immense, the peak of civilization. High ambition held back by the greed of low people.

Structure

Presided over by a council made up of elected representatives from each of its provinces. A leader is then elected from among their number by a vote held by the council members. Each province also has a council made up of representatives from major settlements, and an elected governor.

Public Agenda

The primary struggle of The Republic has been against the growth of the wilds. As whispers at the borders grow of dark things that walk in the mountains and beyond, people have moved out of the distant provinces in droves. This has only exacerbated the growth of the wilds. For several years the council has been slowly building up troops and deploying the army them to the border regions to combat the attrition of the tamed lands, particularly along the Western Foothills and mountains.

Assets

Gold from the Western Foothills, large numbers of horses and cattle from the farms in the plains, a large and productive agricultural infrastructure, a robust road system, a large army, and strong navy. The economy is also aided by a strong merchant fleet. It is considered the center of trade between the North and South.

History

Formed from disparate city states in 1822 in response to aggression from the north, The Republic has been a bastion of freedom and order ever since. Initially a loose alliance, and mostly military, it grew to be what it is through trade agreements.
