Meritania

Meritania is a very small country in the north of Ingardia, bordering Ingardia and Halcyon. It has only about two established cities, and the rest of the demographic makeup mainly consists of small towns. In the past it was used as neutral ground for treaties between different tribes and so forth, but now it is largely left alone. There is a very small chapter of the Expansion Society here (only about three to five members) but the Society doesn't have any power in Meritania politically, culturally, economically or technologically.

Government 

Meritania doesn't have a very complex organized government due to the size of the country in terms of population and land. There is a leader who speaks for the people of Meritania, who they elected informally but who the majority of the country believes should be in power. Non-supporters of the current leader of Meritania measure only a couple dozen. There are no formal political parties, and since the Expansion Society has no political power (or power of any sort) in Meritania there is no Scientific Party. The country's political system still functions largely like a tribal government.

Population 

Meritania is a very small country and sparsely populated, with the population concentrated in its handful of established cities and other towns. At most there are 1,000 people living in Meritania, although there has never been an official or formal census.

Major Cities 

Meritania has only two major cities

Geography and Climate
