Maritimia

Maritimia is the long western coastal state of the eastern continent and one of the most consistently exposed members of the Allied Crowns.

Origins

Callandorian refugees form the principal founding population. Permanent raids and bombardment shape institutions from the earliest settlement period.

Government

Maritimia is formally a republic but usually presents one approved candidate on the ballot. Emergency government and military service become normal rather than temporary.

Economy and military

The state effectively sells soldiers. Training, deployment contracts and wartime support form a major part of the economy. Its population identifies strongly with the Allied Crowns because the alliance is experienced as daily survival rather than abstract diplomacy.

Duchian influence

Dependence on finance, arms and strategic protection brings Maritimia close to puppet status despite its strong national military culture.
