History
During the oppressive reign of the Keshlam dynasty, a defensive initiative was formed by the merging forces of the Tritan empire and the existing sum of trade organizations, who were all threatened in some fashion. A mock fleet of merchants, ferry-captains & pirates became the inception of the now mighty Ancean navy. Following to a sudden victory over Keshlam's invading forces, Ancea was formally founded, subsequently claiming the right to absolute administration over the entire ocean.
- to its citizens, the term Ancea generally refers to the ocean as a whole. The rest of the world however, might not agree with that notion, instead considering Ancea to be a large group of islands which stretches from Kaizei's southern basin, all the way down to the northern coast of Gasaro.
During the cataclysm waves washed many pearls and fish up onto the islands so they took time to clean up. Pearls and fish make up most of their exports.
Present Government
Each island gets a single dignitary to go and live on Galas and decide laws and govern the fishing rights of each island. Ties to each vote are broken by the Captain of Naval Forces, Niles Bruen. The small islands like this because Niles grew up on one of the smaller islands and know their hardships, and the big islands like him because he usually lets them do what they want with their land. Ever since tonori sent out their cry for help Niles keeps a flotilla of four medium ships each to guard the ports of Tulimshar, Nivalis, and Hurnscald from pirates and water monsters like giant squid and ocean snakes that can grow up to 100 ft long. The Naval Captain is decided by the troops as the best and brightest mind . Noone fights for the title because it is alot of work. Each island has it's own form of government to enforce the rules made up by the council. Some have kings and queens and some of the smaller islands have mayors.
Chief Exports
Their chief export is pearls to the Blue sage and to Tulimshar. Otherwise they export fish to Hurnscald and other regions. The rice that the larger islands grow is saved in silos that are on each island to keep it dry and safe for use that way they have a stockpile if anything should happen.once the silos are full in the fall they export the rest to food vendors across the region.
