Imberania

The Free-City State of Imberania is a sovereign democratic nation located on various islands on the Imber Sea. It is a member of the Vrijsteden. 
=== Etymology and Terminology ===
The name "Imberania" is a portmanteau of the P'rish word imber (God) and ania (land). Despite the fact that the islands were man-made, the literal translation of Imberania in Traveller's Tongue is "God's Land". However, a translation closer to the true meaning is "Chosen Land", as imber can also have connotations of "chosen" or "blessed" in Traveller's Tongue.
=== History ===
==== Pre-Settlement ====
2 friends named Scratch T. Círdan and Rayne Droop had a direct order from Imber to found a nation. They left the city of Carthian and settled in an abandoned town in an island before arriving to a few mumpy islands in the Imber Sea that could barely hold a house.

An hour after Imberania was founded, a diplomat known as Nacdes opened diplomatic relations with Imberania. The first iteration of the deal was for Imberania to become part of the Seawolves, to become a province. Soon the second iteration was formed which was to make Imberania a vassal of Seawolves but Imberania would still be diplomatically independent. However Rayne Droop's counter offer was to have an allyship instead, and Imberania would give out resources such as food, in exchange for protection by the Seawolves military. Eventually no deal was made and Nacdes left the discord
==== City Planning ====
Much of the city was beginning to be planned. Because of the lack of land, the Imberanians decided to have water ways such as canals, to replace the traditional land road. Soon the first house meant to be for the government meetings and Rayne Droop's office was in the beginning of planning. Soon Scratch T. Círdan hastily built a house that looked like it was built by tribesmen, with primitive jungle wood exported and bought in Dragons Mart, and the only tough material used was Stone Bricks which managed to hold most of the structure despite of the wood rotting constantly because of being exposed to rain. The first two farms were also built, a wheat farm and a oak tree farm.

Círdan was appointed a position at the council of Burghers. As Imberania is nearing to complete, the populace was also growing. The city does plan to build more, but in a sense of building the city, it is almost complete with the only thing left to build was the tavern. Imberanian politician Scratch T. Círdan, brought the first wolf on Imberania which is a breed called Pale Dog. Citizens wanted to publicaly announce the existence of Imberania for the first time yet no one seemed to like that idea because of a looming threat of invasion by a nation which one of the citizens temporarily worked in as a "Overseas Imberanian Worker" The citizen refuses to give out the name of the nation though.
