-==== Demographics and Culture ====+===== Urban Centres and Demographics =====
 The majority of the population is concentrated in the south and centre, particularly along the Dunkle and Leathan valleys. While the western and central regions are densely dotted with market towns every ten miles or so, the east remains sparsely populated by semi-nomadic tribes. The culture is one of pragmatic commerce, influenced by the nation's position as a "middleman" for eastern and western goods. Despite the presence of rogues and spies who frequent the trade routes, such as [[:skyss:chars:rolf_wolfson|Rolf Wolfson]], the electorate maintains a reputation for stability that is beneficial for business. The majority of the population is concentrated in the south and centre, particularly along the Dunkle and Leathan valleys.
