Halbergravia is a small, independent republic in the Eastern Territories of Liberalia. Originally established as a small trading post of the Empire of Gevon in 1099, Halbergravia remained a quiet, untouched island for centuries until just recently. When the Trodonians first arrived, the island was abandoned by most of the colonists who fled to other parts due to a plague that had been there a few years earlier but eventually the Trodonians went on to found their Imperium. Just recently, Halbergravia has become the new home of the Democratic Gevonians who did not want to be ruled by the Lord of Atholon, Verra, post 7th Gevon War.
These Gevonians tend to be rather radical in an economic sense, and their aggressive industrial policy has propelled the Halbergravian economy to new heights. At the same time, however, Gevonians are some of the most center-right when it comes to social rights. Social equality is on the government's agenda, along with increasing civil rights and political freedoms. Residents and visitors to Halbergravia enjoy a unique combination of cultures, moderate civil rights, and prospering markets.
Due to the threats around Halbergravia from the Atholonians, the Interim Government has been forced to initiate the Fortification Act which is in its pure form: martial law. Since the Republic only has a small professional militia to protect it, should they be brought into a conflict, all males between the age of 18-25 will be called to war. Halbergravia's birth rate and death rate are roughly the same but the Law of Decipherability has also been put into effect. According to this rule, a body interred in a cemetery stays there until the carvings on their headstone can no longer be read, at which point it is assumed that anyone who would wish to visit the grave is long gone. Then the body is exhumed, reburied in a mass grave elsewhere, and a new body may be interred in the same plot.
