## **Foreign Policies**

None of these states posses a large political system, and none are recognized as a full and worthy country. Their politics consist solely of "trying to defeat the other states in Warlow". Warlow is seen as one big battlefield and is named as a state in anarchy.

The reason for these fierce battles over Warlow is because of its important position for trade. The country is situated upon the trade route that follows the beaches. due to the ongoing war, people had to trade by boat, travel true the Saltu, what is considered dangerous, or travel around the large mountain range of the east. This war is seen by many why Ankor became so important, as trade over land was hindered at a crucial point.
