The Anglean Republic

[Sgt. Spoon]

I'm just gonna ditch the tribes/family approach and go with the guess that they are, in fact, a simple general republic.

[Lord Dick Tim]

We will know soon enough I suspect.  But our random conversations are highlighting some areas for the development discussion so the more we talk, and not go too deep on a tangent, the more we are actually helping.

Besides, we won't likely know every time some little thing we post here won't become a kernel of something in another persons head and make its way into the cannon in some way or another.

I dunno spoon, these are a hardy people with limited resources, family would be their main focus, raising their children in a supportive and strong environment. I could be off my nut though.

I think that I'm most interested in the Anglean Republic. Perhaps it's just because I like snow but the area and concept art really appeals to me.

Do we know what kind of relationship they have with the Fjord Baronies? I can see them having difficult relations with the Yesha, but it seems like they'd be on better terms with the Baronies, given their potential similarities. They live in the same climate and might even share ancestors.

[Lord Dick Tim]

That's a good point sushi.
All we know right now is thier isolationist identity.  It would play a pretty nifty note if they spawned from the same group of settlements but then went onto different political ideals, maybe even being a single nation just after the age of dust and fracturing in some kind of early civil war.

I'm just completely settling in another vision that I had. A general republic settling in the barren ruins of those former greater cities. The buildings provide great housing and metal/construction resourses. But food, warmth and fuel might be of lesser amount.

One uses raiding to get resources and the other lives by code of chilvary - Not likely the Barronies will exactly see eye to eye.

As opposed to the bunch of you, my first thought when I heard of Anglean Raiders was not rome or Vikings, but Pirates. Pirate states were commonly called Republic. Pirates also often use raiding to get resources, deal in forced labour (slave labour) and have a form of democracy.

The Dutch!

Something I just found in: http://gunsoficarus.com/world/factions/anglean-republic/

Buried beneath the snow is an old world perfectly preserved.  The Angleans have made the structures of past civilizations their homes, reveling at mysterious murals and objects that scatter the landscape and float in a case of crystalline ice.  They have even managed to revive some of the found machines and reverse engineer crude automatons to do their work.  Realizing the power of the black smoke that their ancestral machines produce, the Republic hunts down relics from the past in an attempt to restore the world to its former glory.

...reverse engineer crude automatons to do their work.


So.. yeah... Didn't think they'd be capable of something that advanced.

Yep, Anglea has robot technology
