Sebiris

Sebiris is an oddity among nations. Geographically, the climate ranges from heavy monsoons on the coast, to dry splatters of desert, to hilly lake filled regions that's climate and terrain vary wildly based on altitude. The capital rest on the east side of its northern most peninsula, Point Sebir, named for its founder Jatorix Sebir, an explorer of Pictish decent. Shielded by the land from the worst of the monsoon season's rains, it survived as a settlement and has grown into a modest yet proud capital. Other than the regions surrounding the capital, few people live between Point Sebir and the Lake regions to the south, with the only exception being coastal communities along the shore. Sebir had difficulty keeping communications lines open with its lake regions due to the dense rain forest between the capital and its other population center to the south, and only recently started construction on a railroad that would connect the two regions as a vital life line. Those on the coast make their fortune based on fishing and trade, while those in the hilly lake-lands make their living with agriculture, animal husbandry and mining. If Sebiris manages to connect these two regions, it would be a powerful economic boon to the developing nation.
In terms of its political situation, it is ruled by a diarchy, with one elected representative from the coastal zones, and one from the inland lake region. Both must agree to pass laws, go to war, and conduct diplomacy. While strange, this equal sharing of power, while ineffective, keeps the country from fracturing due to the perfect balance of the two regions.
In addition, they claim the entirety of Breda, who they see as a breakaway province, and skirmishes between militias of both nations is common. Point Sebir's distance and the difficulty to supply the actual army in the region makes direct military action impossible for the time being. Addition: Breda was occupied as a Liotainian colony in 1874.
