Editing Neebrachters (section)

== OVERVIEW: THE NEEBRACHTERS ==


Hailing from the marshy flatlands along the southern end of the Woldermieer Bay, the Neebrachter people pride themselves in existing as a unique cultural and national entity within the greater region of the Fells, possessing a distinctly meritocratic and mercantile culture which mirrors their affinity for rhetoric, trade and a rich naval tradition as seafarers. They pride themselves on being a comparatively egalitarian society when put beside the Empire at large. They possess a rich tradition of government by a representative republican assembly, with each of the five provinces of the Neebracht Republic participating in the federal assembly. While the Neebrachters, bar diaspora populations, live beneath the rule of the Republic, belonging and loyalty are to one’s city first before they are to the Republic as a whole. Therefore the politics of the Neebracht revolve around the petty squabbling of senators attempting to gain the one up on eachother for the betterment of the city or province they represent. They are widely known for their excess wealth and lack of moral scruples when profit is involved.
