The Kaeirean Republic (Player: Ibrahim Underwood (ibrahim_dughlas-gani@moe.edu.sg) General description: Kaeir has only recently “won” its independence from Taltheran, the elite Kaeirean Guard established by the Taltherani Prince of Kaeir, from Taltherani, Kaeirean and mercenary troops, executed the Prince of Kaeir and the newly established Kaeirean aristocracy, overthrew Taltherani rule, and sold the remaining members of the Taltherani elite in Kaeir to the slave merchants of the eastern Midsea. The majority of Taltherani troops, including the pride of the Taltherani fleet, stationed in Kaeir switched allegiances, swearing fealty to the central council of the Kaeirean Guard, who promptly declared Kaeir to be free and independent, as the Kaeirean Republic. Kaeirean Republicanism would now be the creed of Kaeir, and royalism, magicalism and clericalism the enemy of republican liberty. Society concept: Once the most infamous den of corruption, thievery, and piracy on the Midsea, the Kaeirean islands of Celtehar and Celtalath have re-emerged from decades of Taltherani domination as a Republic. Now as a major nexus of western Midsea trade, the capital of Port Celtehar has become a large, cosmopolitan city with residents from all the lands of the Midsea. The new Kaeirean Republic is essentially an oligarchy, where power resides in the hands of the Council of the Kaeirean Guard, the officers that overthrew the old Taltherani prince. The Kaeirean Guard seems to possess a very clear laissez-faire economic policy, with many Council members being very strong free-trade proponents. Politically, however, the Republic’s policies are unclear. This becomes particularly worrying for geopolitical watchers on the western Midsea when one considers the mighty fleet that the Kaeirean Republic possesses, which was formerly the glory of the Taltherani Navy. The semi-ideo logy of Kaeirean republicanism though, with its clear populist and anti-magic, anti-clerical and anti-aristocratic messages though, seems poised to spread beyond these two small isles.
