The Zerik Isles
Public Agenda
The denizens of the Zerik Isles were raiders and sailors of exceptional skill.
Demography and Population
The Zerik Isles are mainly populated by humans, and they believe themselves to be the descendants of the first humans though this is not quite the case, the first humans on the continent landed on the Zerik Isles but not the first humans overall. The population is not particularly open to foreign influence but this seeps through as they now serve in the Protectorate navy and other species now move to the Isles.
On land mainly the young and the old live on the land with most of working age taking to the sea. A young man or woman who lives their whole life on land is rare, but not unheard of. However with the exception of farmers, who are viewed as equals to sailors who give up the freedom of the sea in order to provide for the homestead, young people who are land-lifers are considered strange at best, and Non-Zerik at worst.
Military
All citizens are taught how to fight
Education
Prior to the Protectorate there was no push for formal education, so traditionally the literacy rate is lowest amongst the Protectorate nations. However they do have a high level of mathematical competency, due to design of navigation devices and naval engineering.
