Amberlind

Amberlind is a nation of rolling hills and grasslands stretching from their borders to the coastline. Home to primarily Halflings, the nation is well-known for its agriculture, alcoholic beverages, and cuisine. The citizens of Amberlind take pride in their work, and it often shows through perfected methods of production and craftsmanship. Though typically a peaceful nation, they are able to muster a sizable, and quite formidable, army when the need arises.

The nation, and its settlements,  are ran through a  Demarchy, with all citizens at least the age of adulthood being eligible for the lottery, and their "term" is only lasts for discussion and voting on the matter at hand. Military leaders are selected in a similar manner, but the pool is made of only people with prior military experience, and operate under the tutelage of the surviving individuals who have held the position priorly.  Military leaders hold their positions for 2 years during peacetime, and the duration of the military conflict during wartime. Military leaders may be removed from office by simple majority vote of No Confidence. 

In the year 942, they signed a peace treaty with the Eclen Empire. The treaty surrendered a significant portion of the nation to the Eclen Empire. The now former citizens of Amberlind still consider themselves to be Amberlindians, and there is continued cultural strife in those regions.
