Editing Fallen Empire (section)

==Geography==
The Empire was completely surrounded by smaller countries called the "Borderlands." These Borderlands were vassals of the Empire, and served to keep the orc raiders and other various creatures out of the lands of the Empire. The Empire would send money to the lord of these lands twice a year. These funds were used to stop the incursions and strengthen the economy. It was great deal for all. The subsidies meant the Borderlands taxes were lower, which encouraged people to move there, and merchants to trade there. Most of the money given to them returned to the economy of the Empire through merchants, and they secured their borders without having to constantly send out the Legions.
