Venitia

The Kingdom Of Venitia

Leader: King Constantine Ritter IV

Despite its diminutive size, the kingdom is actual one of the strongest political forces on the entire continent. Originating just north of Orea, the kingdom is home and origin to some of the largest trading companies on the continent. Being a nation of merchants, they do anything they can to seize the trade deals. They are currently the only nation to have an actual trade agreement with the Elven Citadel, making trade very lucrative for the country.
With the vast monetary power, the nation wields, it is not a rare sight for some merchants to disregard some of the laws of other countries. The most recent example being the group that broke through Zhlosnan security to get military goods to Uswait, leading the towns along the Zhlosnan-Uswiat border to become temporarily closed to Venitian traders. Despite the damage control, many assume that relations will not heal so easily given the past of the 2 countries.
This mainly stems from Venitian control of Karlough Point, a well-fortified and strategic point in the western trade network, as well as the Venitians only access to natural resources. Though it is assumed that war is not yet on the horizon, as the Venitians still have an ages old treaty with the Oreans. Regardless, Venitia is certainly a land of either opportunity or utter despair given the risk and rewards of trading in their name.
