Nations of the Scarlet Sea

The Fraternal Empire of Teutonic Princes: The dominant power of Eastern Europe, the Teutonic Empire is a doddering old empire on the brink of collapse. Riven with quarrels between its ruling princes and poisoned by nationalist rebellion, it seems certain to decay and fall. Already, opportunities for mercenaries, pirates, and demagogues sprout like mushrooms on a rotting log, waiting to be plucked by those with the courage and cunning to seek them.

:Kingdom of Drusiana: A constituent kingdom of the Teutonic Empire, Drusiana is a young nation yearning to be free. Its ports are havens for pirates and spies alike, drawn by lax laws and ill-paid lawmen.

:Margravate of Garn: A powerful and wealthy princedom of the Teutonic Empire, the Margravate is undergoing a cultural renaissance.

Most Serene Republic of Nacria: One of the most powerful city-states on the Tyrnian Peninsula, Nacria exploited the Great War to become the dominant trade power of Southern Europe.

:Principality of Melanza:

A once-powerful city-state, and now client of the Republic of Nacria, Melanza is a land of fertile fields and sheer, hand-cut mountains.

:Most Serene Republic of Luni: Threatened by its neighbors and divided in its leadership, Luni survives through the support of its once-rival, Nacria. Its agents seek for subtle and silver-tongued freelancers, the better to win the hearts and minds of their citizens away from the fervor of Tyrnian nationalism and submission to the western nation of Caltiberia.

Free City of Spina:

Grand Duchy of Tarchon: The last remnant of the Arslan Khaganate, the Grand Duchy was founded by Hunnic mercenaries and remains renowned as the Land of Mercenaries.

Principality of Parede: A breakaway province of Drusiana, Parede is ruled by a pretender to the Drusian throne.

Republic of the Five Islands: Once a puppet of Nacria, the Pentinsular Republic now has powerful allies in Astoria and the United Kingdom willing to guarantee her independence.

Kingdom of Thetas: The powder-keg of Europe, which sparked the Great War. Having won independence from the Olm Empire, its cities are being torn apart by socialists, monarchists, anarchists, republicans, and militarists looking to seize the reins of the kingdom's future.

The Olm Empire:

Khiimori Khaganate
