Cozomay

Cozomay is a small but prosperous fishing village on the eastern shore of Phogar, with some crops and livestock as well. Most years it has far more than it needs, so it sells the excess to merchants around the Attamats.
Pirates rarely trouble Cozomay despite its prosperity and abundance of food. Every male aged between 15 and 50 is required to join the town militia - weekly weapon practice is compulsory and held on the beach.
Most of the village lies well beyond the high tide mark, though a few fishermen's houses lie nearer the water. In the centre is the village's only tavern - the Red Barn. As the focal point of village life it is crowded most nights. Outside lies the village square, which hosts a weekly market as well as dances and the annual harvest fair. The rest of the village is rather ramshackle, with few clearly defined streets. Most of the crafters live and work near the centre of the village - the farmers live near their fields on the outskirts.
Cozomay has no government, but the farmer with the most land, James Clay, typically speaks for the town. When Cozomay was founded it was agreed that all citizens would have an equal say in how the town was governed. Although Clay typically speaks for the town he has no actual authority and holds his honorary position with the villagers' blessing.
Village meetings are held once a month in the Red Barn, though in truth there is not much for the villagers to discuss aside from how much excess harvest to sell and what imports are required. Trader ships visit the villagers several times a year, buying food and selling timber, manufactured goods, and gunpowder.
