Presidential Republic of Delarma

The is a minor power in Imperial Space, bordering the German Empire, the Despotate of Alusia, and the Elvish Enclaves.
== Overview ==
The Presidential Republic of Delarma emerged in the 2nd century A.U. from an unlikely mix of Kirvan and Triad Elvish influences. The Republic’s political culture carries the egalitarian and populist overtones of Kirvanism, the primary religion of its urban populace, while relying historically on the Elvish Enclaves as the guarantors of its independence (first against Deutschreich and later against Alusia). The result has been an historic pattern of Enclave political interference in the republic, going so far as to prop up its current leadership as a presidential dictatorship; a large number of Enclave “advisors” take an active role in the higher echelons of Delarman politics and governance. 
Radical Kirvan and Idolmarite clergy have made inroads in Delarma, however, agitating for the return of a truer form of democracy and an end to foreign influence – though not yet at the point of widespread rebellion, these Kirvans have encouraged multiple terror attacks targeting the dictatorship and its elvish allies.
== Economy ==
Economically, the Republic is a relative backwater, unable to match the environmental and occult conditions of the Elvish Paradise Worlds (the most productive portion of the country is its semi-autonomous dwarven “clan concession” territory), but also restrained from full participation in the cosmic economy. Attempts to normalize economic relations with Deutschreich, or to expand relations with Alusia, have largely failed (many suspect, due to Enclave sabotage).
