==Government==
The humans of the Republic are seafaring masters and are skilled at
naval combat as well as coastal raiding.  This from long years of
fighting off pirates from Prolia.  (Some say
from an infusion of Prolian blood from all the raiding as
well.)  The Republic's official religion is the Order of Man.
The Emperor is a hereditary figure-head.  The actual rulership comes
from the house of lords where each founding nation's noble families
meet in Nolton for 2 months in the summer to pass laws and discuss
national policy and by a group of ministers elected from within those
lords to administer the country.  There are currently 15 ministerial
posts, including a Prime Minister, a Minister of Defense, a Minister
of Justice, and several others.  These ministers are the true
rulership of the empire.
