Caedellium

Caedellium is a nation of a small archipelago of islands made up primarily of one large island mass and 3 smaller islands located northwest of the main island. The island itself is situated to the northwest of the Landolin continent and is surrounded by the Great Ocean.

Geography
Caedellium is an archipelago of islands approximately 1300 miles northwest of the Landolin continent. It is a geographically diverse land for such a small nation. Rich in many natural resources the island is still largely undeveloped. Mountains dominate provinces like Vandinke and Bultecki while southern provinces like Keelan and Gwillamer have large plains good for grazing herds and grain production. While streams and small rivers are common on the island there are no notable navigable rivers. Caedellium does not contain any desert biomes.

Politics
Caedellium existed as a group of independent clans for most of its history. The hetman met annually in Orosz City to conduct an All-Clan Conclave. For hundreds of years the conclave was the only island wide mechanism for settling disputes between clans. After the precipitous fall of the Preddi clan, the threat of the Narthani conquering the island spurred the clans to start cooperating more fully with one another. Realizing if they didn't it would lead to the end of their culture and history. Beginning with the Battle of Moreland City the clans began to see higher and more productive levels of cooperation. The cooperative initiative was largely driven by the southern clans, especially that of the Five-Clan Alliance and in particular Keelan. Keelan had a great deal of leverage in the early stages due to their outstanding performance at the Battle of Moreland City and their overall technological advantage. At the time Keelan was the only clan producing artillery, which had proved decisive in the battle.

Economy
Prior to the Narthani occupation, Caedellium's economy was almost completely agrarian. Exports were primarily foodstuffs (e.g. grains,legumes) and the islanders traded freely with any who came to trade. International trade was largely conducted at the largest port city on the island, the Preddi clan capitol of Preddi City.

After the Caedelli successfully expelled the Narthani from their lands the economy has begun to transition from agrarian to pre-industrial. The innovations and industries introduced by Paramount Yozef Kolsko, both before and after his ascension to the newly created post, have caused an influx of interest and investment from both domestic and international origins. The innovations have pushed more advanced nations to pay special attention to the island and it's people. Fuomon and various Landolin Kingdoms have already established formal diplomatic and economic relations as a result.

War Council
In an attempt to re-seize the initiative from the clans, Brigadier Zulfa organized an attack on the Swavebroke capitol of Shullick. The attack was to coincide with Narthani attempts to assassinate various hetman around the island. In response the All-Clan Conclave voted to create the Caedellium War Council. It was the islands first central authority and granted a group four hetman along with Yozef Kolsko the power to make island wide decisions and demands with regard to the war effort. The War Council would continue to be the primary authority on the island until the last Narthani was evicted from Caedellium.
