Skanzia
Skanzia is a state in the country of Thenia. Bordered on the north by Oscein, the large state is bordered on the south by Kezig, Ieglia, and Braeque. Skanzia is the second most populous state in Thenia (after Ghazeen) and is known for its tolerant and liberal social attitudes: in fact, their liberal religious tolerance laws meant that the Pure and Unsullied felt safe enough to settle there after being expelled from most other states. Skanzia has well-supported public institutions that mean other Thenians have slowly made their way there; Skanzia is now almost as populous as Ghazeen.
