Insulaea

Insulaea is a country in southern Venecivia. It is bordered by Ralmia to the north and Kaleristo to the north-west.

Insulaea has hot summers and mild winters.

Sorcerers in Insulaea have the ability to produce and manipulate water. Many of them can also teleport, though since the Purge this has been restricted to their home country.

Most Insulaeans are scholars, studying magic and its properties. Other citizens work as mediks, teachers and lawyers, helping to educate the next generation.

System of Government
Alone of the Venecivian countries, Insulaea is a democracy. It is divided into 6 zones, each of which has one sorcerer and one human who represents it on the council, who vote on all decisions.

Major Historical Events
A major event in Insulaean history was its Civil War in 1158 EM, where humans and sorcerers battled for control over the country. Eventually, a peace was reached, and the system we know today was developed.

Extra info
Insulaea prides itself on offering equality for all citizens. Both humans and sorcerers are represented in government and have equal rights. For this reason, many Ralmian humans have fled across the border in the hope of securing better treatment, and they are mostly accepted. The country also has no mandated religion, and citizens are free to worship whichever deities they please, as long as they do not harm anyone in the process.

Unlike its neighbours, Insulaea abolished the death penalty several centuries ago. Crimes such as murder and assault are punishable by life imprisonment, whilst smaller crimes will get you less time in prison. All citizens have the right to a fair trial before they are sentenced.

Insulaea has good trading relationships with all other Venecivian countries except Glaciana, with whom they exchange small amounts of goods.
