Republic of Liebrand

The Republic of Liebrand is a democratic republic located in Idellia. It is bordered to the west by the Oseric Ocean, the northeast by the Technocracy of Kairos, the south by the Thousand Confederation and Elin Academy State, and the east by the Delune Ocean.

Pre-Colonialism
Before the arrival of Priman colonists, Idellia was inhabited by a plethora of indigenous tribes that subsisted on hunting and foraging. It is thought that most of these tribes originated from the southern continent of Huata, which is connected to Idellia by the Isthmus of Mnomquah.

Era of Colonialism
In the 8th century, approximately 300 years before the start of the series, Erik Tidetamer, the head of Clan Tidetamer at the time, sailed across the Delune Ocean and landed on the northeastern coast of Idellia. Within a few years, a large influx of settlers began to arrive on the coasts of Idellia. Colonists from the Empire of Yura traveled across the Oseric Ocean and primarily settled along the western Idellia coast in what is now known as Elin Academy State and the Azalea Province. Meanwhile, on the eastern coast, colonists from the Kingdom of Veille and the Jarldom of Vandia sailed the Delune Ocean and founded new villages and cities while the Free City of Midia established lucrative trade outposts.

As the various groups of colonists pushed deeper into the heart of Idellia, tensions between the foreigners and natives began to flare up. In the year 776 AS, the first major battles of the Colonial Wars were fought. By the end of the 8th century, almost all native presence in Idellia had been wiped out or pushed back into the continent of Huata.

Locations
The republic is split into four provinces with a central governmental hub. Each province in the republic has a councilman acting as its representative.
