Amaranth

Overview
Independent country in the continent of Baltica.

Geography
Amaranth is an archipelago composed by five main islands and a great number of smaller ones situated on the southwest of the continent of Baltica. Climate is subtropical, with mild winters and warm summers. The raining season happens during the end of spring lasting for a month and it is called locally as the big fall.

Economy
Although Amaranth's government is heavily tied to Gondwana's, the official stand of the country in the ongoing conflict between Elloth and Gondwana is of neutrality. Amaranth benefits from the situation offering its harbors as safe havens for the commercial fleets of both countries.

Politics
Amaranth became independent from the Kingdom of Elloth almost a century ago. During the secession war, the region was supported by the navy of Gondwana which blockaded the vessels from Elloth in the Mare Tenebrosum for enough time to allow the inhabitants of the rebellious country to organize. This support originated the ongoing war between both countries.

Amaranth's government can be briefly described as follows. In each one of these assemblies there is a rotating moderator that collects the topics before the gathering. He will go one by one calling them and a discussion will take place. After the discussion a task force will be assigned by the moderator to nail down the details. At the end of the assembly, the present people will choose the next moderator by public voting.
 * Each town in the islands has an assembly that gathers together every week in which anyone can participate to discuss local matters.
