Confederation of Skandia

The Confederation of Skandia is a nation located in northern Prima. It is bordered to the south by the Kingdom of Veille and the Free City of Midia and to the east by the Commonwealth of Vlozky.

Politics
Skandia is ruled by a jarl elected by a moot consisting of the chieftains who have pledged their loyalty to the confederation. The current ruler of Skandia is Valnir Irontide.

Culture
The people of the confederation are notorious for their hardy nature and aptitude for seafaring. Throughout the history of Providence, there has been much conflict between raiding parties from the confederation and the Kingdom of Veille. The northern and western coastlines of Savaria, which falls under the dominion of the Empire of Sundi, has also suffered numerous Skandian raids.

Economy
While many consider Skandians to be a brutal and savage people, the confederation is in fact a powerful nation with a strong economy. The mountains of Skandia are rich with ore deposits that have fueled the smithies and forges of the confederation. Because of this, many cities and holds have been founded amidst the mountains which form the core of the nation.
