Description

The Federation of Amren is a collective of city-states on the foothills of the Edge Mountains. The Federation of Amren is a member of the Empire.

The mountains and foothills are abundant in ore and ancient ruins, making it a rich location. But the dangers of the area make agriculture difficult, especially to the North where the city-states rely on trade for most of their basic supplies. South of the Galad hills the Pryderi plains are prosperous and the population sufficient enough to provide the protection and commerce necessary to support agriculture. North of the hills, and the hills themselves, the lands are too wild to support agricultural communities but minerals and other trade goods are more abundant. This creates a natural flow of finished goods from the North into the South for food, wool, and other necessities.

Each city is largely self-governed and has a great deal of autonomy from the Federation. The senate decides foreign policy and also makes policy on things that affect the Federation as a whole. The senate is composed of twenty officials representing the cities of the nation. Each city selects it's officials in it's own way; some are elected, some are selected, some are hereditary.
