=== Ivepia ===
A small land ruled over by the High Council of its largest city, Amivi, which sits on the southern edge of the Dire Fens, along the coast of the Bay of Oerni.  Ivepia prides itself on self-rule of most of its settlements, which share of a bond for the common defense.  The military is largely volunteer in nature, as military service provides citizenship benefits and entre into the realms of politics and buisness afterwards.  The Ivepian military has a long tradition, with constant practice against the raiding forces of the Fens, and has a  fearsome reputation amongst the neighboring lands.  Ivepia has the distinction of having never invaded another realm during its existence - its expansion has come by way of other regions voluntarily joining the federation vice force of arms.
