Meathe

Meathe is a nation within The Free Isles. If looked at from the outside, it appears inhabited.
== History ==
The ancestors of the Meathians used to travel the seas as pirates, pillaging and living on an armada of ships. However, as they sailed the world, they discovered something horrifying at the edges of the world, out in the waters, that drove them mad. Trying to hide from it, they sailed non stop until they ran out of supplies, and settled down on Meathe, in hopes that the world, and whatever they found, would forget about them.
To remain forgotten, the Meathians found something which granted powers to a selected person, whom would be referred to as their "Guardian". Said person would then be tasked to protect them against any and all outsiders, as well as whatever their ancestors found. In order to get this power, which is said to be "plucked" from the world and was something that was always there, they had to give up something of immense value.
== Culture ==
Meathe appears to be incredibly isolationist, relying on a certain lineage of Guardians in order to protect them from literally any outsiders. To the rest of The Free Isles, those from Meathe are still referred to as pirates, with them seemingly having some form of advanced seafaring ability. They also seem to still have form of communication with the outside, considering both that they are currently trading with Alaran, and that they previously hired Harlock to try and retrieve their guardian Ashe.
They have a holiday known as Spook Day where they carve root vegetables. Those of Meathe also refer to the island fruit as 'Island Jewels'.

* Meathe has no currency and operates under the barter system
* Meathe also has no written language.
* As evident by Markus' dream of Ashe's backstory during A Storm Part 40, people on Meathe have an accent.
