About
- Imperial nation formed in 128 BG. Corinthea has a long established culture and political system of free city-states.
Dominant Culture
- Corinthean
- Qulani and Treahni live in harmony within the culture and several of Corinthea’s customs can be traced back to Qulani origins.
Geographic Area
Population
- The populace of Corinthia is mostly persons of Corinthean ethnicity, however the nation has the largest percentage of Qulani citizens among all the surface-dwelling nations of Entorais.
Government
Oqio
- Corinthea has no singular head of state, instead the Oqio of each city-state acts independently of each other and only form alliances or pacts of mutual benefit as required. While some have tried to rule multiple Cities, it usually ends badly, as the other city states will work together to block such power-mongers. The longest lasting attempt at multiple-rule was Oqio Veaxas, who took the thrones of three cities between 201 -- 205 YG. He held the triad for about three years, before an assassin's blade ended that power grab in the winter of 207 YG.
- The position of Oqio is hereditary, but not exactly royalty; great merchants or military commanders can aspire to rule the cities of Corinthea, and may pass on the title to their children after them. As is the case with most hereditary titles, should the deceased have no direct heirs, there is a complex method of determining which distant cousin is more close to the person who died than another. If absolutely no heir could be reasonably determined there would be an election for the position from among the strongest contenders.
The City States
- Corinthea is comprised of fifteen distinct city states, each is a separate polity, although they share many customs and a common form of government.
