Editing Tilea (section)

== Geography and Politics ==
Tilea, like real-life Italy, is mostly a mountainous peninsula with the borders formed by several mountain ranges, such as <s>Appenines</s>Appuccini (they form the eastern border with the mess that is [[Border Princes]]), Abasko (western borders with [[Estalia]]) and Irrana (northern border with [[Bretonnia]]). The foothills are forested and are mostly populated by [[Goblin|Goblins]] and various bandits. The Blue-Face Tribe Orcs are shown in a map of the Badlands and surrounding area as having a lair in the Eastern Mountains, and the mixed Orc/Goblin Broken Nose Tribe is shown in the same map in the northern mountains bordering the Border Princes.

Politically, Tilea has no central government and consists of thousands (as the Warhammer world is much larger than Earth, despite similar topography) of states that range from theocracy to monarchy to magocracy. They vary to the point that there's one to appeal to every Warhammer Fantasy player who wants a different flavour to their army but one isn't already in the setting. However, there are still eight city-states that are the most prominent:

* '''Luccini''' - Rome. Yeah, it may be located a little too south to be a carbon copy, but it still was founded by two siblings when [[Sigmar]] was still Conan-ing his way into becoming Emperor. Two rival families that trace their ancestry to either King Lucan or Queen Luccina (who are also venerated as gods) are constantly fighting for absolute power.
* '''Miragliano''' - most likely Milan, given the geography. It is a pretty shit place to live, because [[Skavenblight]] is right next to it, and the citizens have to fight with giant Nazi rats on warpstone every Saturday. The city is mostly known for being home of both [[Leonardo Da Miragliano]], the Leonardo da Vinci expy, and [[Borgio the Besieger]], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cesare_Borgia Cesare Borgia] expy.
* '''Pavona''' - little lore is available on it. Pavona is constantly at throats with neighbouring Trantio, but still unites with them if a hostile army appears. Also has air bridges that connect the houses of nobility.
* '''Remas''' - Rome during the late Republic period, with all of its intrigues and instability. One of the few non-monarchic city-states in Tilea, which is probably for the worst. Remas is ruled by annually elected triumvirs, the most famous of them being <s>Julius Caesar</s> Curious Gesar, who also discovered [[Albion]].
* '''[[Sartosa]]''' - pirate-plagued Sicily.
* '''Tobaro''' - the greatest city state in terms of seafaring, with a fleet that can rival Estalian and [[Araby|Arabyan]]. Tobaro has a notable Dwarven population.
* '''Trantio''' - once a pretty small city, it became very significant after [[Marco Columbo]] returned from [[Lustria]] with a shit ton of stolen [[Lizardmen]] gold. With all that money, the prince of Trantio used Dwarfs to rebuild the city, making it the most beautiful in all of Tilea.
* '''Verezzo''' - another republic, which is not as incompetent as Remas. It's also more democratic, with merchant families being divided into several "parties" (green, yellow, red and blue) that you can vote into power.
