The only major pass into Lydiah would be the gap in the mountains in the province of Seven Rivers, from which any invading land army would presumably come. I guess the grey area will probably end up being the Lance Empire (if my map is acceptable at all)

Nations Name: The Glorious Republic of New Drakran
Flag:
Form of Government: Dictatorship
Describe the System: Formally known simply as Drakran, the former king of the nation (King Rolland) spent the last few hours on his death bed creating and passing an edict that stated that his son (Prince Kiue) could under no circumstances be King or the ruler of Drakran in any manner. Once King Rolland had passed, Prince Kiue honored his wishes by dissolving the nation of Drakran and its monarchy and founding the Glorious Republic of New Drakran in its place, being elected as president by the registered voter (Himself) in a landslide victory.

While all matters of state are under the direct overview of the President and it is a popular belief that President Kiue's eyes and ears hear and see everything that happens within his own boarders with the aid of a large network of agents, Kiue himself tends to let things be provided that it is functioning smoothly. Day to day affairs tend to be handled by one of the many guilds that have been brought into being by the President, allowing them certain legal rights and tax breaks for themselves and their members in exchange for taking care of their own personal affairs and being answerable to the President.

Location on Map Desired: To be discovered later.

Capital: The Capital City of New Drakran is the city of Anka, located in the middle of territory along the river of the same name.

Important Settlements: The coastal trade city of Nexus.

Description: Due to the recent changes in government (And nation), New Drakran is in the middle of a cultural shift as it seeks to take on a new identity. While there are still plenty of signs of the old regime of Drakran (Late Medieval, early renascence) the empowerment of guilds and the push into industrialization of the new nation has resulted in a number of different, strange new kinds of architecture, philosophy and ideology. Different cities tend to have a number of different districts, often shaped by the guilds that have taken up residence there. The only three guilds that have a guild house in every city within the Republic are the Guild of Beggars, the Guild of Seamstresses (While its members list their occupation as Seamstresses, its doubtful that any of them know how to fix a sock) and the Guild of Thieves ( President Kiue took the viewpoint that there was always going to be a level of crime, regardless of what was done to stop it. Thus, he formed a Guild of Thieves by officially recognizing one of the bigger thief gangs, giving them rights and honors above others of their station while inviting them to parties with the high class, then putting them in charge of keeping unlawful crime low with the threat of removing their new found rights and titles (Along with most of their skin)).

New Drakran has started to use paper money as its primary form of currency, saving minting coinage for special occasions.
