Manesia

Population (according to the most recent census): 1,480,000

Manesia is a small nation east of Bassad. The vast majority of it's settlement are on the coast, with most people working as farmers or fishermen. It is a very simple and passive country, never getting involved in the affairs of other nations. One of the reasons for this is that Manesia has a small, thinly stretched population, and it is unlikely that it would be able to repel an attack from anyone. Recently, however, it has requested military aid form Bassad due to an increase of attacks by nearby garvolg tribes. Bassad accepted under the condition that it be allowed to mine the large iron veins in Manesia. Some citizens of Manesia have become concerned about the growing influence that Bassad has over Manesia.

Manesia does not have a fixed capital, the capital is whatever town or city the Royal Family is in, though Roca is the most common residence of the Royal Family. Due to this, most settlements with more than 8,000 people have a special mansion that is always maintained is case the Royal Family chooses to live there. Some settlements have not been visited by them for over 350 years, but the mansions are still kept ready. They usually stay in a city for about 5-15 years, though occasionally they only stay for a few months or for 30 years. The tradition of moving from city to city was started by King Olahs III in 1745 A.O.E. Before that, Lohba was the capital.
