Editing Inland Empire (section)

==== Nations ====

There are six major nations on the continent. Five of them (Texas, the Inland Empire, Anglica, Vinlandia, and New Amsterdam) were highlighted in ''Terra Nova''. 

*The Inland Empire was founded by Renaissance thinkers of Old Europa seeking refuge from the authority of the Church. Their government is a patriarchal meritocracy.

*Anglica was once a colony of England, and is the primary rival of the Empire. They are a slave-owning society, and overseen by a hereditary monarchy.

*Vinlandia was the first nation of Europeans in Terra Nova. They take slaves of all races. Their government is a principality.

*New Amsterdam was founded by the Dutch that accompanied the first Vikings to Terra Nova. Their technical prowess matches the Empire's. The tiny nation is ruled by a council of guilds in name, but the council is dominated by Vinlandian interests.

*Texas' formation is shrouded in tall tales, but their government is a democracy of landed males. The country has managed to remain mostly neutral, but they are increasingly at odds with Cortezica.

*Cortezica was founded by the Church as they colonised the hot southern lands. The Skraelings of Cortezica have been slaves since the first ''caravelas'' landed on the white shores.
