Republic of Harajasic

Structure

The government of Harajasic is in complete disarray, having been hastily formed before declaring independence from Oyapilic. The de facto power is held by warlords who lead local militias in defiance of the national army.

Culture

Since the death of the King and his heir in 891, the Harajasic people have been drifting, culturally speaking. As such, a lot of Harajasic people lack the strong ethnic pride of other Pilic states, which has allowed for a rise in ethnic militias and warlords to gain inordinate amounts of power in certain regions. Many Harajasic people grow up believing they only have two options, farmer or soldier, which has taken a toll on the collective psyche of the populace.

History
