Nemidia

Nemedia is a small nation on the southern coasts of Chorene. Centred around Sin River, the cities of Sierno and Serkonos rule over sheltered valleys and plains, forming a remote coastline of small ports and fortresses. 
It is jointly ruled by the Magnate of Sierno and the Magnate of Serkonos, though the latter is considered the nations capital, able to house the banks, royal mints, and most of the trade rights. 
Due to a whole linage of bad blood with the Yazis, due to the ancestral divide created during the Olive Wars, Nemedia did not involve itself in the Dissolution War, but spent most of the conflict securing its regional border to establish an independent realm. When Aledin Suleiman of Sidaris emerged victorious from conflicts to the north, the Nemedians agreed to recognize and protect his claim, if he would do the same for theirs. 
==Culture==
Like the Sidarans, Nemedians typically have smooth olive skin and long black hair. The population is almost evenly divided between Ruhun and Urubuhls, which has resulted in historical tensions, but more often than not, the Nemedians practice a philosophy of tolerance. 
Due to the country's long seafaring tradition and complicated history with piracy, the Nemedians are considered independant and fierce, with a very loose concept of possession. It is considered rather normal to acquire possessions by taking them with force, thereby earning the right of ownership, but only so long as you can defend it. This extends into rulership, which is only inheritable so long as you can defend your land. Anyone powerful enough could rise up to take your land from you, and would then often be officially recognized by the state. 
==Administrative Divisions==
Nemedia is divided into 2 regions, each ruled by a Magnate:
*Serkonos, ruled by Armando Abelle from the city of Serkonos
*Sierno, ruled by Sara Tyvian from the city of Sierno
==Economy==
The plains of Nemedia is rich in vineyards and meadows and produces purple wines, beans, sesame, lemons, grapes, and olives. It also prospers through naval trade with Zis and with the Ayyubid Emirate, through the Astentine Shallows.
