Crimea

## Government

Crimea is divided into 22 tribes.

Each tribe being approximately 2,000 People strong.

Each tribe is divided up into 10 Clans.

A clan typically inhabits a single municipality.

A Clan is typically governed by a chief who is elected by plurality of the Popular vote of the clan, serves for life, and runs the executive functions of the clan as well as serving as “chair” of the council of advisors with a tie breaking vote.

The council of advisors performs the legislatI’ve function of the clan, advise the chief, are appointed by the chief and serve for life. The members appointed are usua influential members of the community.

A tribe operates similiar to a clan confederacy. They are commonly governed by a Chief who is elected for life by Plurality vote from all the clans in the tribe. The Chief can appoint the council of advisors of the tribe. Those appointed are usua respected members of a clan and are chosen to ensure each clan has a voice of some kind.

Like the clans, the tribal chief performs an executive function and served as the tie breaking vote of the council of advisors.

Crimea is more decentralized as far as governments go with 220 clans grouped into 22 Independent clans. When it comes to matters that effect the peninsula as a whole, the tribal chiefs will usua bring a small delegation to one of the clans to discuss the matter together informally before taking the matter back to their council for confirmation. This was shown when the chiefs met and over a few weeks established the single market.

The single market represents Crimea when it comes to Free Trade Agreements, as well as It’s tariff and customs rates on external goods.

## Economy

Crimeas Economic foundation is strong

Roads of some kind, usually dirt roads from traffic, connect most if not all of the towns together.

As a member of the Single Market, Crimeans are able to enjoy the freedom to move anywhere they want in or outside of Crimea. They also have the ability to move their goods anywhere within the single market. This has Provided a boon for economic growth. New markets have opened up and new sources of supply have opened up because of it.

Along the coast ports facilitate trade with other places in the Black Sea, as well as produce fish for food. This has allowed for closer relations to allies such as Nestos, better access to trade partners such as Trypillia, and easier ability to access resources such as Ukrainian furs or Georgian linen and dyes.

Inland, land transportation hubs in towns allow for the fast transit of goods and people throughout Crimea. These have allowed for the transportation of goods from where they are harvested to where they are needed, such as Wood from the centre to the periphery or cattle meat from the outskirts to the mountainous region.

Inns are located in almost every town and provide an opportunity for travelers to rest on their journey.

While fish comes from the coast, most crops are found to be produced in the mountainous central region while Cattle ranching takes place more commonly in the west and east.

The economy of Crimea is dominated by its Associations. These Associations are composed of members with a particular skill set, such as carpentry or weaving or fishing. These Associations own much of the infrastructure around Crimea. The farmers association owns most of the grain mills, putting pressure on farmers to join them. In exchange for a few small services or payments the associations will provide access to their infrastructure to their members and offer large benefits which varies depending on the group but might include benefits such as representation to the councils or funding for legal help if need be. While the Storytellers tend to provide early education for childre, the associations as a whole typically pick up apprentices from the age of 14 to learn a trade over 5 years for their career.

The Associations conventions provide economic opportunities around Crimea, attracting foot traffic to towns around the peninsula. This traffic helps create temporary demands for goods and services in a place. bring recognition of the place, allow the people in that town to gain more outside knowledge, and provide for increased demand for the services of the transportation professionals.

The associations have formed a supply chain which has helped keep Crimean society moving forward and innovative. For example the Ranchers kill a cow, harvest the meat, and sell the leather to the paper makers. From there they make paper out of the hide and use it to make agenda packages or card decks for example. The agenda packages will be sold to the lawspeakers and card decks sold to the storytellers. Another example being metalworkers harvest ore, process it, and forge it into an item that can be put to use elsewhere. A bronze farming utensil which can be sold to to the farmers, or a breastplate which can be sold to HBC being two possibilities. The value added process helps to increase the peninsulas overall productivity rate for the future.

Since the introduction of Chits 5 years ago by the farmers association to help prepare in case of a year with crop failures, Crimeans have started using it as a currency. However, bartering is still a common mode of financial transaction.

## Culture

Crimeans are honest, hardworking people. They typically respect the laws and traditions of their society.

The Association conventions have brought people from different tribes together and allowed the cultures of the tribes to interact more openly. This being increased by the more recent freedom of people to move from Clan to Clan inhibited only by its cost.

Crimean's have been shown to work together well to complete tasks. They have also been shown to enjoy entertainment during their off time such as by singing and dancing with those around them, or by playing a game such as chess or battleship or UNO, or by watching people perform a play.

With the introduction of Cretan paint it may be that some of the more influential Crimeans may start to Learn how to paint.

Crimean's have started to improve on their clothing and now commonly wear more complex outfits to weave compared to fur based outfits.

Crimeans have enjoyed food in the past. Pancakes and yogurt being enjoyed by a fair amount during some breakfasts.

Some outdoor games and sports that are enjoyed are Log hurtling, horseback riding, and horseshoe toss. Sailing is also enjoyed in some situation.
