The '''Ludwigshafener Eisenbahnbewirtschaftungsbetrieb''' is the national railway company of, the [[Lanzerwald]], previously [[Sankt Ludwigshafen]]. The company has its seat in [[Stadt Sankt Ludwigshafen]] and is wholly owned by the republic. The company was established in 1700 AN, after the moratorium on infrastructural projects outside Stadt Sankt Ludwigshafen's city walls ended. The company was awarded ownership of the local railroads in the seaport of [[Oudorp]], and maintains a service between various warehouses in that port with a single steam powered shunting locomotive. Despite its ambitions, the company had not constructed any railroads outside the port of Oudorp during the era of the Republic of Sankt Ludwigshafen. Following the [[Second Ludwiggian-Monovian War]] which saw a union between the cities formerly belonging to [[Zandarijn]] and the cities of Sankt Ludwigshafen, a greater need for long distance transport arose and the newly formed Steden-Generaal issued subsidies to create a railroad network. To be able to make tight curves in narrow valleys and difficult terrain, the decision was made to switch to narrow-gauge railways. The first narrow-gauge railroad that was constructed was the line Stadt Sankt Ludwigshafen to Oudorp, after that the line Stadt Sankt Ludwigshafen to Vulcuria over Grenstad was constructed and finished in X.1711.

In XIV.1713 the Ludwigshafener Eisenbehahnbewirtschaftungsbetrieb was replaced by [[LanzerwaldSpoor]], which inherited all its assets.

'''Soetarno''' is a character in the folklore of the [[Lanzerwald]]. He is portrayed as a skinny man who wears rags, is covered in soot and carries a pickax. Soetarno is said to have been a digger in the coal mines of Grenstad until one day he dug too deep and entered into the Underworld. In Hell he encountered Joost, the ruler of the Underworld in ancient Lanzerwaldian mythology, who sent him away because he was not dead yet. However, the exact wording Joost used, ("Let me never see you here again") made it impossible for Soetarno to enter into the Underworld after he died through asphyxiation following the collapse of a mineshaft, as such he was forced to remain with the living for all of eternity. Soetarno is said to remain in the coal mines for most of the years, and diggers have reported sightings of him very frequently, but is said to haunt the living on the darkest day of the year, the winter solstice. Soetarno plays a role in the story of Saint Anna, who visits the children of the Lanzerwald and gives them toys if they have been behaving in the past year. The children who do not behave, are warned that if they do not behave the coming year, Soetarno may drag them down into the coal mines with him.

The '''Republic of the United Cities in the Lanzerwald''' (Cibolan-Diets: ''Republiek van de Verenigde Steden in het Lanserwoud'', Ludwiggian: ''Republik der Vereinigte Städte im Lanzerwald'') is an independent nation in South-East Cibola. The nation emerged after the dominance of the Republic [[Sankt Ludwigshafen]], which was centred on [[Stadt Sankt Ludwigshafen]], waned following the [[Second Ludwiggian-Monovian War]] when the treaty [[Union of Oudorp]] was signed by the cities in the Lanzerwald. The nation is the official successor to the Republic of Sankt Ludwigshafen. The primary language spoken in the Lanzerwald is Cibolan-Diets, in Stadt Sankt Ludwigshafen the language South-Cibolan Saxon is the most spoken language, while Alexandrian is spoken in [[Louisville]].

== Demography ==

The Lanzerwald has a citizen population of 213,281 as of 1711, it is uncertain how many people still inhabit the Green who are not affiliated with the republic but according to estimations by the republic, this could be up to 50,000 people and most of them are considered to be ''Monovians''. Inhabitants of the Lanzerwald are overwhelmingly people of eastern South-Cibolan descent with very few people originating from other continents. Roughly half of the citizens are considered to be [[Ludwiggian people]], with the other half of the population considered to be ethnically [[Zandarijn]]. Most Ludwiggian people live in the area previously controlled by the Republic of [[Sankt Ludwigshafen]] and most Zandarijn people live in the area previously controlled by the Dominion of Zandarijn.

== Political system ==

The Republic of the United Cities in the Lanzerwald is a representative democracy. The people are represented by a unicameral parliament that is called the Steden-Generaal. The elections are organised by the city districts, and it is possible that a political party only participates in a few cities, or just one. The republic does however have a system of proportional representation, when the cities have counted the votes in their districts, these numbers are added up by the central electoral committee and combined form the election results. There are a total of 100 seats to be distributed in the Steden-Generaal, which is expected to elect a stadtholder (Cibolan-Diets: ''Stadhouder'') and a president (''Voorzitter'') as soon as possible, preferable in the first session of the new Steden-Generaal. The president presides over the sessions of the Steden-Generaal to make sure the proceedings happen according to the laws of the republic, and the rules and regulations of the Steden-Generaal. The president also invites members of the cabinet to the Steden-Generaal so they can be held acountable.

The stadtholder is the leader of the executive branch of government in the republic. Like previously mentioned he is elected by the Steden-Generaal as soon as possible after the elections. After the stadtholder is elected, he will present his cabinet, consisting of cabinet minsters and the Steden-Generaal will vote on all individual cabinet ministers. As a basic principle, the stadtholder and his cabinet ministers do not have any powers that normal citizens do not have, unless these powers have been granted them explicitly by the laws of the republic.

Formally an open political system, the Steden-Generaal is dominated by the Traditional Party, which has received over 95 of the 100 seats. Elections within the party often garner more attention than the general elections.

== Economy ==

The economy of the republic is dominated by the agricultural sector. As of 1709, 57% of all working people were active in agriculture, most of them in arable farming, horticulture and fishing, in that order. Both in weight and value, over half of the production on arable land is wheat, a mix of wheat varieties is grown and in order to secure food security the republic promotes crop rotation and inter-cropping through incentives for sustainable farming practices and fines for unsustainable practices. Besides crops for human consumption, the republic also produces crops that are both suitable for human consumption and to make biodiesel, these crops include rapeseed and maize. The republic subsidises the planting of these three crops, wheat, rapeseed and maize, to make the republic less dependent on foreign nations in times of scarcity.

Besides farming on arable land, the republic is known for its extensive horticulture, predominantly floriculture. The republic produces flowers that are sold as bulbs such as tulips, hyacinths and crocuses. Production of such flowers mostly takes place in the region south of Oudorp that has the perfect climate for these flowers, as well as loam soil in which the flowers thrive. Around Louisville, the republic produces lavender, of which the oil is harvested and sold for its scent. Throughout the republic other flowers are also grown and sold dried, especially peonies, pansies and rose buds. The flower industry is part of the national identity of the Republic of the United Cities and a peony features both in the national [[Flag of Lanserwoud|flag]] and the national [[Coat of arms of Lanserwoud|coat of arms]].

While the Second Ludwiggian-Monovian War briefly ended all tourism to the Lanzerwald region, after the war the tourist sector was one of the first sectors to fully restore. Thanks to investments in better accommodations, at the end of 1709 the tourist sector was already bigger than it was before the war. Visitors to the republic are predominantly from [[Sanama]] and [[Xäiville Convention]] member states. Favourite activities for tourists are skiing, snowboarding and other winter sport activities. In the summer, tourists appreciate the relative quietness of the beaches in the republic, as well as the lush forests of the Lanzerwald. In the Spring, many tourists flock to the flower fields south of Oudorp to see the blooming bulb flowers. Around 2% of the Lanzerwaldian labour force are active in the tourist sector, most of them people below the age of 25.

== International cooperation ==

Lanzerwald is a member of the [[Xäiville Convention]], a membership that was inherited from Sankt Ludwigshafen. It is also a member of the [[Micras Trade Organisation]]. The republic is not a member of the [[Micras Treaty Organisation]] and opposed the creation of the [[Convention on Civil Aviation]] as it rejects civil aviation.

== Military ==

The republic inherited the military organisation of Sankt Ludwigshafen, both the [[Kriegskorps Ludwigshafen]] and the [[Dragonerkorps Ludwigshafen]], as well as the [[Zandarijn Liberation Army]], all consisting of a single corps. These three corpses were merged into the [[Army of the Republic of the United Cities in the Lanzerwald]]. Besides the army, the Steden-Generaal also established the [[Navy of the Republic of the United Cities in the Lanzerwald]].

=== Conflicts ===

* [[Lanzerwaldian-Whaler War]] (1709-1710)
* [[Uprising of Bisera]] (1711)

== Religion ==

The official church of the republic is the [[Ludwiggian Reformed Church]] and the state takes an active role in promoting the spread of the Nazarene faith, for example by funding the translation of Scripture into Cibolan-Diets, a project that is known as the [[Stedenvertaling]]. At the same time the republic tries to prevent the spread of extremist and alarmist religious ideas, or theologies that promote inequality between races, sexes or that promote homophobia.

Schorpioen I Pantserstrijdwagen

{{Lanserwoud Article}}

The '''Schorpioen I Pantserstrijdwagen''' is a medium tank that is being developed by [[Osthügel Motorenwerke]] in cooperation with the [[Army of the Republic of the United Cities in the Lanzerwald]] that is expected to take it into service. Development of the vehicle began in 1712 as during the [[Uprising of Bisera]], the army recognised that it needed to invest in modern army capabilities to increase the military advantage of the Lanzerwald republic in comparison to the independent tribes of the Lanzerwald. The medium tanks run on diesel, which is expected to be produced in the refinery of Prins Haven after 1720. In 1713, prospectors of the republic found oil reserves in the coastal waters of Prins Haven, additional reserves have been found inland in 1714 and 1715.

Initial plans for the Schorpioen I Pantsterstrijdwagen are to power it with a OMW 5L4C 400BHP engine from Osthügel Motorenwerke, similar as the one used in the heavy OMW Handelsmann lorry. A decision on the main and secondary armaments was not immediately made as the Krijgskorps wished to await decisions on ammunition standardisation with the Mondosphere. A first prototype of the tank that was constructed in V.1714 was outftted with a 40mm anti-tank cannon that has long been in service with Lanzerwaldian and even Ludwiggian armed forces.

The '''Uprising of Bisera''' was a revolt of Siseranists previously laying hiding in the [[Lanzerwald (region)|Lanzerwald]] since the end of the [[Second Ludwiggian-Monovian War]], in which the Siseranists fought with the Monovian pretender-king Elonzo XIII. The end of the war created a status-quo where the undocumented natives would mostly stay away from Lanzerwaldian settlements and trade links. Halfway between [[Vulcuria]] and [[Elonzo]], the Siseranists had their own small settlement, of just over 2300 souls, which they called Safehaven for they felt it was their only place where they could still live in peace in a world that had turned more and more hostile towards them, that they had founded in VI.1696 when the Third Republic of Sankt Ludwigshafen had banned their religion because of its role in the [[Ludwigshafener Civil War]], especially their practice of human sacrifice, and the nuclear destruction of the capital city, [[Stadt Sankt Ludwigshafen]]. The small settlement was not affected by the two Ludwiggian-Monovian wars, except for Siseranists from the village joining the Monovian war effort. However, on 24.XV.1711 surveyors working for the [[Ludwigshafener Eisenbahnbewirtschaftungsbetrieb]] encountered the village by random chance as they were working on plans for a narrow-gauge railway connection from Stadt Sankt Ludwigshafen, over Grenstad and Vulcuria towards Elonzo.

=== The surveyors arrive in Safehaven ===

Now, Safehaven was governed by Bisera Eisen in those days, who was styled Princess of the small village and ruled together with two high priestesses, only known as Sandraste, and Valeria but not by their full names, not even to the inhabitants of the village, as they had been taken from another tribe when they were just infants, and raised to fulfil their role in the Siseranist religion without family affiliations. When they surveyors were walking through the meadows of Safehaven, and were taking their measurements therein, they were promptly spotted and stopped by the herdsman of the kine and taken before Bisera Eisen, and her two high priestesses Sandraste and Valeria. When asked to do so, the surveyors explained what their intentions were, to take measurements for the construction of a narrow-gauge railroad that would lead ineluctably through the meadows of the small village of Safehaven and also that they did not even need to take measurements to be certain that the small village would have to be abandoned, as the [[Republic of the United Cities in the Lanzerwald]] would not allow settlements of undocumented natives to be located this closely to its vital trade links.

After having listened to the surveyors,Princess Bisera argued with them that they should find another route for their railroad plans, but the surveyors remained stubborn and refused to consider anything but the most efficient route. Brought to despair, Princess Bisera ordered the village guards to strip down the surveyors and apply lashes to them with the whip, in order to change their minds. As she ordered it, so it was executed and the guards applied to each of the surveyors thirty lashes on their naked backs, and they cried out in utter agony. But even after all these lashings, the effect on the stubbornness of the surveyors was nought. ''"Nay"'', they said, ''"the republic is built on the principles of precision and efficiency. The Ludwigshafener Eisenbahnbewirtschaftungsbetrieb requires nothing less. Alas, we must concur with you that your small village is appealing to the eyes, and of the contrition we feel for causing its obliteration. Still this, and neither do the lashes, does anything to sway us on the meat and potatoes of this discussion. The most efficient narrow-gauge railroad route from Vulcuria to Elonzo leads through the meadows of your hamlet."'' Having thus been unable to come to any agreement, the surveyors and the princess ended their conversations, and the surveyors returned to Vulcuria to write a report about their ill-pleasant welcome in the village of Safehaven and also did they request that after their wounds on their backs would have healed, they would be provided with an armed escort to look after their safety in the treacherous Lanzerwald.

=== Bisera plans her attack ===

After the surveyors had lifted their heels, then did Princess Bisera convene with the captain of the guards of the village Safehaven to discuss the defence of Safehaven against the relative might of the Lanzerwaldian republic. Envoys were sent to other Siseranist villages lying low in the outstretched wilderness of the Lanzerwald, although many of these villages were even smaller than Safehaven, some harbouring no more than 500 souls. High Priestess Valeria, who was considered to be a keen and able rider, was sent by Princess Bisera to scout the area between Vulcuria and Grenstad, to determine whether the Lanzerwaldians made haste with the construction of their railway connection between the east and west of the republic. In addition, all men and women of Safehaven were admonished to stockpile food and water in their houses to prepare for the circumstance that the [[Army of the Republic of the United Cities in the Lanzerwald]] would lay siege to the village.

On 3.I.1712, at the break of dawn, the villagers of Safehaven were awoken from their slumber by the sound of the hooves of High Priestess Valeria's gray horse that galloped over the cobblestones toward the keep where Princess Bisera had established herself in. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, the princess welcomed the high priestess and bade her in. A servant was ordered to prepare tea, while the two women sat silently in the small tea garden of the keep. Anxious as Bisera was to learn the news, and just as much anxious as Valeria was to share it, in their Siseranist belief it was considered to bring bad luck to discuss subjects as grave as the possibility to wage war, as this was what was considered to be at hand, before tea. Over a wood burning stove, the servant patiently waited for the water to reach the boiling point, then another minute he did let the water boil before finally taking it off the stove. Yet another minute did he wait before he poured the water over a sieve containing tea leaves, fully aware of the seriousness of the situation he had chosen to serve Imperial White Tea today, which he had bought from a Mondese trader that passed through the forest recently, on his way from Zijincheng, the former Jingdaoese capital, to Oudorp. The hot tea was then presented by the servitor to the distinguished ladies, and bowing towards them as he backed out of the room he took his leave. For the next ten minutes, both Bisera and Valeria took small sips from their tea, speaking not a single word before they had both finished their drinks.

As the ladies had finished their tea, Bisera called for the servitor and had him remove the porcelainware so they were not distracted by it, as they spoke on the matter that lay before them. The servant backed of the room to take his leave again, this time carrying the crockery. As he was gone, Princess Bisera called upon High Priestess Valeria and said pray tell me what you have discovered as you scrutinised the area between Vulcuria and Grenstad. The eyes of the high priestess lit up as she began telling about her travels, how she had been able to traverse the woods undetected even when she came close to patrols of the [[Dragonderkorps]] at times. She provided Bisera with many details, even though Bisera was scarcely interested in these details as they did not pertain to how the Lanzerwaldians might be stopped. The princess urged the high priestess to cut to the chase of the matter, and tell her how the Lanzerwaldians might be stopped. Valeria paused for a moment to regain her composure, as she had hoped to provide the princess with many more details of her expedition, but then proceeded with what lay at the heart of the matter.

Valeria shifted to the edge of her seat as she began explaining what she had found in the region between Vulcuria and Grenstad, pertaining to the narrow-gauge railroad that the Lanzerwaldians were building, and which would threaten Safehaven if the Lanzerwaldians were to continue their construction works towards Elonzo. As it happened, the settlement of Vulcuria lay on the far side, as seen from Grenstad, of a great river, called the [[Mirkriver]] as its water was very dark of colour, because of all the peat that was present in it. And this river had the habit to expand greatly in width in the Autumn and part of the Winter seasons. As such, the Lanzerwaldians had to construct a large railroad bridge that would keep the tracks dry and high both in the Summer when the stream was relatively narrow, but also in the Autumn and Winter seasons when the stream was very wide. Valeria had learned all this from locals in Vulcuria, who spoke Diets, which she spoke too but with a heavy Saxon accent, and were hesitant at first to speak to Valeria, but she was of exquisite beauty and her charms wore away their apprehension, and they also told her how long it had taken the republic to build the bridge, over a year and it came with many difficulties. And Valeria had learned from them about the Lanzerwaldian patrols through the forest and she had found a place in the woods from where a group of the militia of Safehaven could lay low and prepare an attack on the bridge, to delay the construction of the last stretch of the railroad, that would lead it through the meadows of Safehaven.

Now it should be told that Bisera's countenance grew grim as she was listening to the information that Valeria had shared with her. Not because she was not pleased with the work that Valeria had done, but rather that she realised that the Lanzerwaldians would be very angry with the attack on the bridge, as necessary as it seemed to be. Princess Bisera called in the servant once again, and he appeared in the door before ten seconds passed, inquiring how he could be of service. ''"Make haste"'', Bisera told him ''"And bring Simon, the captain of the guard to me, and also bring his lieutenants Dirk and Hans."'' Hastily the servitor ran away and looked in the village to find the three men that were summoned to the princess, being the aforementioned Captain Simon, Lieutenant Dirk and Lieutenant Hans of the Safehaven Guard. Simon and Dirk were found in the village pub, where they were drinking small beer and discussed the village affairs with the inhabitants of the village and the landlord of the pub. Hans, they said, was in the woods west of the village on a patrol with seven other guardsmen, and the servant sped out to find him there.

Having found Hans, Captain Simon, Lieutenant Dirk and Lieutenant Hans of the village guard were brought before Princess Bisera by the servitor who was promptly instructed to leave the room and close the door behind him. In a hushed voice, she informed the three men that they had to take twenty additional men with them and undertake an expedition to the railroad bridge that was located between Grenstad and Vulcuria. The bridge, which had been made out of wood, would have to be burned down and Lanzerwaldian efforts to quell the fire would have to be repelled with lethal force until the fire would spread so far and the damage would have been so great, that it would be extremely difficult to restore the bridge. Thanking the princess for their mission, the three men bowed out and began conscripting guardsmen for their endeavour.

=== The surveyors return in Vulcuria ===

After speaking with Princess Bisera, the surveyors of the Ludwigshafener Eisenbahnbewirtschaftungsbetrieb returned to Vulcuria, where they stayed in the local inn, as swiftly as they could, reaching the city on 2.I.1712. After they had compiled all their measurements and drafted a map of the future railroad line to Elonzo, they began to write down all the relevant details of their meeting with the princess. In two separate letters, one addressed to the Board of Directors of the Ludwigshafener Eisenbahnbewirtschaftungsbetrieb in Stadt Sankt Ludwigshafen, and another directly to General Donatie de Lancôme of the Dragonderkorps, asking him to provide a patrol to escort them in the treacherous eastern part of the Lanzerwald.

As the Board of Directors of the Ludwigshafener Eisenbahnbewirtschaftungsbetrieb received the letter, they were concerned very much and wrote their own letters to the Steden-Generaal notifying the government of the threat of undocumented natives to the extension of the railroad network in the less populated regions of the republic. The Steden-Generaal convened and ordered the stadtholder to modernise the [[Army of the Republic of the United Cities in the Lanzerwald]] so that it would be more effective in countering the headstrong behaviour of the undocumented natives. As part of the modernisation of the army, Stadtholder Jan den Ouden convened with [[Osthügel Motorenwerke]] to for the first time also include motorised vehicles into the Lanzerwaldian armed forces. These talks were mostly informal in nature and did not result in the immediate procuring of any vehicle, but the salesmen of Osthügel Motorenwerke did promise to return to Den Ouden with plans for a motorised tachanka that could be useful for the Lanzerwaldian armed forces.

On 10.I.1712 Wachtmeester Joost van Aardenbos and the other men belonging to his patrol reported at the inn building in Vulcuria, where they met with the surveyors. They accompanied the employees of the Ludwigshafener Eisenbahnbewirtschaftungsbetrieb to the area north of Safehaven where they returned taking their measurements, and according to all known accounts they did so without being hindered by undocumented natives, or encountering any other great difficulties.

=== The march on the bridge ===

On 11.I.1712 the fellowship of Captain Simon, being himself, his lieutenants Dirk and Hans, and twenty minutemen arrived at the Mirkriver, roughly twenty kilometres west of the bridge that they had sworn to destroy. Following the stream against the current, they made their way to the bridge itself, always taking care that they would not be observed by passing Lanzerwaldians patrols. Several times they had to hide themselves in bushes and shrubs as patrols of the Dragonderkorps trotted along. With them, the twenty-three men, for there were no women among them, they had no donkeys to carry their burdens, as they were afraid the donkeys would make noises that would let them be detected. Instead they carried the heavy bags with petroleum soaked firelighters and black gunpowder on their backs. After finding the river it took them two more days before they arrived at a spot a few hundred meters away from the bridge, so they could observe it without risking being detected themselves.

At midnight 13.I.1712 the men belonging to the company of Captain Simon once again took their heavy backpacks on their backs, and marched towards the bridge that was guarded by only three Lanzerwaldian soldiers belonging to the Dragonderkorps. From a distance of 100 meters, the Siseranists opened fire on the dragoons with their carbines, killing two of them and causing the third to flee with wounds to his arms and shoulders. Having thus cleared the way towards the bridge for themselves, they ran towards it and unto it. Twenty-five meters did they run unto it, counting the railway sleepers to reach the calculated spot from where they could be certain the rail would fall into deep water, and not into a shallow place in the river, where it could easily be restored. They took the backpacks from their backs, and secured them to the wooden sleepers, and to other wooden beams that supported the bridge itself. After they had done so, and they had inspected their work and had found it done to a good standard, they set the lighters on fire and hurried back to the shore.

Now, as the wounded dragoon had made his way to the top of the hill overlooking the valley, and in the valley the river and the bridge across it, he had alerted his comrades there which had set up a camp there, and they had been sleeping and had been oblivious to the situation that had unfolded in the valley. But as they heard what had happened from the wounded dragoon, they rose quickly and they grabbed their rifles and were determined to intercept the fleeing Siseranists. Their officer, a young man called Hendrik van Annahaven looked through his binoculars at the bridge in the valley when he spotted the burning lighters on the track and the supporting structure, only seconds later was he a witness of the explosion that destroyed much of the bridge and he could see the Siserniast fleeing away from the bridge, following the shore. Another dragoon had taken up position behind one of the donkey-drawn machine guns that they had with their group, and when he received the order from his officer, he opened fire on the fleeing Siseranists, which he could see quite clearly. So angry even was Hendrik, that he ordered the anti-tank cannon to fire upon the fleeing Siseranists, and together, and with them the rifles of the marksmen did also fire upon the fleeing Siseranists, did they kill many of the Siseranists and only captain Simon and one of his guardsmen were able to succesfully escape into the forest. Not knowing whether there were any more Siseranists waiting in the forest, and whether they had laid an ambush there for any stalking defenders, Hendrik van Annahaven did not pursue them, but told his men to remain vigilant and defend their hill for the night. He did shoot a warning flare in the air, with its red light signalling to other Lanzerwaldian troops in the vicinity that the situation was dire, this flare was observed in nearby Vulcuria, where they had also heard the explosion on the bridge and the fire from the machine gun and the anti-tank cannon.

=== Lanzerwaldian retaliation ===

Following the attack on the bridge by the militia from Safehaven, a careful investigation was done by the Dragonderkorps into the site of the crime scene. They were assisted by criminal investigators from the Mondosphere, who had techniques available to them that were unknown to the Lanzerwaldians, and frankly also not very well understood by the Lanzerwaldians. It took them several days, until 2.II.1712 to determine with a high level of certainty that the militia of Safehaven was responsible for the attack. Among other things they found a Siseranist prayerbook, an insignia with the crest of Safehaven, and an icon of Empress Sisera of the Empire of Jingdao and South Batavia. These findings were presented to the Steden-Generaal and discussed during an emergency seating of the aforementioned legislative organ. It was in turn decided that the 2nd Division of the 1ste Krijgskorps would be sent to Safehaven, first to present it with an ultimatum to cooperate with the criminal investigation to find the culprits responsible for the attack, but to wage war against the village if it would not cooperate with these requests.

On 10.II.1712, the 2nd division was assembled in Vulcuria, with their donkeys laden with supplies and weaponry, and the division was ready to wage war against Safehaven. They set off the same day, expecting to reach the village four days later, on 14.II.1712. They reached the outskirts of the village indeed on the 14th day of the second month, but as it was becoming dark they decided to set up their camp on a relatively safe distance from the village, so that they could scout its surroundings in daylight. As was expected, and should have been expected, the villagers of Safehaven had noticed that the 500 men from the 2nd division had neared their city, and they informed Bisera of this. In turn, Bisera ordered the evacuation of most villagers and remained in the city alone with two-hundred militiamen and sixty volunteers who were willing to die to make a stand against the Lanzerwaldian Republic.

On 15.II.1702 two soldiers from the 2nd division approached the village, carrying with them a white flag to signal that they were not armed and wished to convey a message. However, as they approached the palisades of the village, fire was opened upon them by the Siseranists and they hastily returned to the Lanzerwaldian camp where they informed their commander of this turn of events. After the commander had inquired of them whether they had held the white flag high for everybody to see and had convinced himself that this was no mistake on the side of the Siseranists, he decided to launch an armed attack on the village. After they had encircled it, the city was attacked with incendiary grenades shot by the donkey-drawn anti-tank cannons that set the village ablaze, as the Siseranists emerged from their burning buildings the machine gun fire from the Lanzerwaldians made short work of them. Despite being outnumbered, and the heavy firepower they were exposed to, the Siseranists tried to break out of the siege by attacking the northern flank of the Lanzerwaldian 2nd division, where they encountered the 3rd company. The soldiers fought in close combat, with the Lanzerwaldians finally being able to repel them after launching a bayonet charge. Of the two hundred sixty Siseranists that participated in the battle, two hundred and forty lost their lives, among them also Queen Bisera, ten were taken as prisoners of war, and another ten were not found and it is uncertain to the Lanzerwaldian historians as to whether they escaped or their bodies were lost in the fire. As to the Lanzerwaldian losses, most were to be mourned among the 3rd company of the 2nd division, which lost twenty-seven men. Ten soldiers were lost in the other companies.

=== Aftermath ===

After the uprising of Bisera, the republic recognised that it could not trust the undocumented natives of the Lanzerwald, and that it would need to fight bitter wars for years to come and subdue all resistance in order to live peacefully. The railroad bridge was restored one year after the events of the uprising took place, and the first train to Vulcuria ran over it on 7.XII.1713.

The '''Uprising of Bisera''' was a revolt of Siseranists previously laying hiding in the [[Lanzerwald (region)|Lanzerwald]] since the end of the [[Second Ludwiggian-Monovian War]], in which the Siseranists fought with the Monovian pretender-king Elonzo XIII. The end of the war created a status-quo where the undocumented natives would mostly stay away from Lanzerwaldian settlements and trade links. Halfway between [[Vulcuria]] and [[Elonzo]], the Siseranists had their own small settlement, of just over 2300 souls, which they called Safehaven for they felt it was their only place where they could still live in peace in a world that had turned more and more hostile towards them, that they had founded in VI.1696 when the Third Republic of Sankt Ludwigshafen had banned their religion because of its role in the [[Ludwigshafener Civil War]], especially their practice of human sacrifice, and the nuclear destruction of the capital city, [[Stadt Sankt Ludwigshafen]]. The small settlement was not affected by the two Ludwiggian-Monovian wars, except for Siseranists from the village joining the Monovian war effort. However, on 24.XV.1711 surveyors working for the [[Ludwigshafener Eisenbahnbewirtschaftungsbetrieb]] encountered the village by random chance as they were working on plans for a narrow-gauge railway connection from Stadt Sankt Ludwigshafen, over Grenstad and Vulcuria towards Elonzo.

=== The surveyors arrive in Safehaven ===

Now, Safehaven was governed by Bisera Eisen in those days, who was styled Princess of the small village and ruled together with two high priestesses, only known as Sandraste, and Valeria but not by their full names, not even to the inhabitants of the village, as they had been taken from another tribe when they were just infants, and raised to fulfil their role in the Siseranist religion without family affiliations. When they surveyors were walking through the meadows of Safehaven, and were taking their measurements therein, they were promptly spotted and stopped by the herdsman of the kine and taken before Bisera Eisen, and her two high priestesses Sandraste and Valeria. When asked to do so, the surveyors explained what their intentions were, to take measurements for the construction of a narrow-gauge railroad that would lead ineluctably through the meadows of the small village of Safehaven and also that they did not even need to take measurements to be certain that the small village would have to be abandoned, as the [[Republic of the United Cities in the Lanzerwald]] would not allow settlements of undocumented natives to be located this closely to its vital trade links.

After having listened to the surveyors,Princess Bisera argued with them that they should find another route for their railroad plans, but the surveyors remained stubborn and refused to consider anything but the most efficient route. Brought to despair, Princess Bisera ordered the village guards to strip down the surveyors and apply lashes to them with the whip, in order to change their minds. As she ordered it, so it was executed and the guards applied to each of the surveyors thirty lashes on their naked backs, and they cried out in utter agony. But even after all these lashings, the effect on the stubbornness of the surveyors was nought. ''"Nay"'', they said, ''"the republic is built on the principles of precision and efficiency. The Ludwigshafener Eisenbahnbewirtschaftungsbetrieb requires nothing less. Alas, we must concur with you that your small village is appealing to the eyes, and of the contrition we feel for causing its obliteration. Still this, and neither do the lashes, does anything to sway us on the meat and potatoes of this discussion. The most efficient narrow-gauge railroad route from Vulcuria to Elonzo leads through the meadows of your hamlet."'' Having thus been unable to come to any agreement, the surveyors and the princess ended their conversations, and the surveyors returned to Vulcuria to write a report about their ill-pleasant welcome in the village of Safehaven and also did they request that after their wounds on their backs would have healed, they would be provided with an armed escort to look after their safety in the treacherous Lanzerwald.

=== Bisera plans her attack ===

After the surveyors had lifted their heels, then did Princess Bisera convene with the captain of the guards of the village Safehaven to discuss the defence of Safehaven against the relative might of the Lanzerwaldian republic. Envoys were sent to other Siseranist villages lying low in the outstretched wilderness of the Lanzerwald, although many of these villages were even smaller than Safehaven, some harbouring no more than 500 souls. High Priestess Valeria, who was considered to be a keen and able rider, was sent by Princess Bisera to scout the area between Vulcuria and Grenstad, to determine whether the Lanzerwaldians made haste with the construction of their railway connection between the east and west of the republic. In addition, all men and women of Safehaven were admonished to stockpile food and water in their houses to prepare for the circumstance that the [[Army of the Republic of the United Cities in the Lanzerwald]] would lay siege to the village.

=== The surveyors return in Vulcuria ===

After speaking with Princess Bisera, the surveyors of the Ludwigshafener Eisenbahnbewirtschaftungsbetrieb returned to Vulcuria, where they stayed in the local inn, as swiftly as they could, reaching the city on 2.I.1712. After they had compiled all their measurements and drafted a map of the future railroad line to Elonzo, they began to write down all the relevant details of their meeting with the princess.

Not knowing whether there were any more Siseranists waiting in the forest, and whether they had laid an ambush there for any stalking defenders, Hendrik van Annahaven did not pursue them, but told his men to remain vigilant and defend their hill for the night. He did shoot a warning flare in the air, with its red light signalling to other Lanzerwaldian troops in the vicinity that the situation was dire, this flare was observed in nearby Vulcuria, where they had also heard the explosion on the bridge and the fire from the machine gun and the anti-tank cannon.

== Lanzerwaldian retaliation ==

Following the attack on the bridge by the militia from Safehaven, a careful investigation was done by the Dragonderkorps into the site of the crime scene. They were assisted by criminal investigators from the Mondosphere, who had techniques available to them that were unknown to the Lanzerwaldians, and frankly also not very well understood by the Lanzerwaldians. It took them several days, until 2.II.1712 to determine with a high level of certainty that the militia of Safehaven was responsible for the attack. Among other things they found a Siseranist prayerbook, an insignia with the crest of Safehaven, and an icon of Empress Sisera of the Empire of Jingdao and South Batavia. The

[[File:Snaiwdene yurt.png|thumb|right|Picture of a yurt in the village of [[Snaiwdene]]]]

'''Snaiwdene''' is a village and nation on the island [[Auwjuland]], that acts as the refuge of the [[Kattuz]], a human-feline hybrid people that was the result of genetic experimenting done by the Jingdaoese [[Imperial Armed Forces]]' [[Unit 666]] in order to create superhuman soldiers.

The name Snaiwdene means ''snowy valley'' in [[Tunge]], the language of the Kattuz.

== History ==

Like mentioned before, the kattuz were the result of genetic experimenting done by the Jingdaoese Unit 666. As the project was cancelled and the kattuz were to be euthanised, they broke out of the Unit 666 compound and fled to Snaiwdene. From 1705 to 1712 Auwjuland was claimed by the [[Community of Pacary]], which was predominantly settling on the northern island, also known as Pacary, and the kattuz had to lay down to avoid detection. In 1711 an extremely cold winter made the island of Pacary uninhabitable and the Community of Pacary was evacuated to Sanpantul. Halfway 1712, as the kattuz were confident that the [[Paqalinuit]] and [[Nunaqeqertaquit]] people had left the area, they began to re-appear from their places of hiding. However, in XII.1713 the Micras Cartography Society voted against admitting the nation on its claimsmap, blocking te way for international recognition of the kattuz.

== Demographics ==

As of IX.1712, Snaiwdene is home to approximately 5,000 kattuz living in yurts in the city, but oftentimes travelling over the Pacary islands and the rest of Micras as traders.

== Politics ==

The village does not have a political system, as the feline genes of the kattuz make following authority wholly unnatural to them. The village does however have a hospital that cares for the sick and is funded by voluntary donations, as well as several schools for the younger members of society. In periods of war, the kattuz have the custom to elect a war-leader that will command them all for the duration of the war, but will hold no power afterwards.

The '''Republic of the United Cities in the Lanzerwald''' (Cibolan-Diets: ''Republiek van de Verenigde Steden in het Lanserwoud'', Ludwiggian: ''Republik der Vereinigte Städte im Lanzerwald'') is an independent nation in South-East Cibola. The nation emerged after the dominance of the Republic [[Sankt Ludwigshafen]], which was centred on [[Stadt Sankt Ludwigshafen]], waned following the [[Second Ludwiggian-Monovian War]] when the treaty [[Union of Oudorp]] was signed by the cities in the Lanzerwald. The nation is the official successor to the Republic of Sankt Ludwigshafen. The primary language spoken in the Lanzerwald is Cibolan-Diets, in Stadt Sankt Ludwigshafen the language South-Cibolan Saxon is the most spoken language, while Alexandrian is spoken in [[Louisville]].

== Demography ==

The Lanzerwald has a citizen population of 213,281 as of 1711, it is uncertain how many people still inhabit the Green who are not affiliated with the republic but according to estimations by the republic, this could be up to 50,000 people and most of them are considered to be ''Monovians''. Inhabitants of the Lanzerwald are overwhelmingly people of eastern South-Cibolan descent with very few people originating from other continents. Roughly half of the citizens are considered to be [[Ludwiggian people]], with the other half of the population considered to be ethnically [[Zandarijn]]. Most Ludwiggian people live in the area previously controlled by the Republic of [[Sankt Ludwigshafen]] and most Zandarijn people live in the area previously controlled by the Dominion of Zandarijn.

== Political system ==

The Republic of the United Cities in the Lanzerwald is a representative democracy. The people are represented by a unicameral parliament that is called the Steden-Generaal. The elections are organised by the city districts, and it is possible that a political party only participates in a few cities, or just one. The republic does however have a system of proportional representation, when the cities have counted the votes in their districts, these numbers are added up by the central electoral committee and combined form the election results. There are a total of 100 seats to be distributed in the Steden-Generaal, which is expected to elect a stadtholder (Cibolan-Diets: ''Stadhouder'') and a president (''Voorzitter'') as soon as possible, preferable in the first session of the new Steden-Generaal. The president presides over the sessions of the Steden-Generaal to make sure the proceedings happen according to the laws of the republic, and the rules and regulations of the Steden-Generaal. The president also invites members of the cabinet to the Steden-Generaal so they can be held acountable.

The stadtholder is the leader of the executive branch of government in the republic. Like previously mentioned he is elected by the Steden-Generaal as soon as possible after the elections. After the stadtholder is elected, he will present his cabinet, consisting of cabinet minsters and the Steden-Generaal will vote on all individual cabinet ministers. As a basic principle, the stadtholder and his cabinet ministers do not have any powers that normal citizens do not have, unless these powers have been granted them explicitly by the laws of the republic.

Formally an open political system, the Steden-Generaal is dominated by the Traditional Party, which has received over 95 of the 100 seats. Elections within the party often garner more attention than the general elections.

== Economy ==

The economy of the republic is dominated by the agricultural sector. As of 1709, 57% of all working people were active in agriculture, most of them in arable farming, horticulture and fishing, in that order. Both in weight and value, over half of the production on arable land is wheat, a mix of wheat varieties is grown and in order to secure food security the republic promotes crop rotation and inter-cropping through incentives for sustainable farming practices and fines for unsustainable practices. Besides crops for human consumption, the republic also produces crops that are both suitable for human consumption and to make biodiesel, these crops include rapeseed and maize. The republic subsidises the planting of these three crops, wheat, rapeseed and maize, to make the republic less dependent on foreign nations in times of scarcity.

Besides farming on arable land, the republic is known for its extensive horticulture, predominantly floriculture. The republic produces flowers that are sold as bulbs such as tulips, hyacinths and crocuses. Production of such flowers mostly takes place in the region south of Oudorp that has the perfect climate for these flowers, as well as loam soil in which the flowers thrive. Around Louisville, the republic produces lavender, of which the oil is harvested and sold for its scent. Throughout the republic other flowers are also grown and sold dried, especially peonies, pansies and rose buds. The flower industry is part of the national identity of the Republic of the United Cities and a peony features both in the national [[Flag of Lanserwoud|flag]] and the national [[Coat of arms of Lanserwoud|coat of arms]].

While the Second Ludwiggian-Monovian War briefly ended all tourism to the Lanzerwald region, after the war the tourist sector was one of the first sectors to fully restore. Thanks to investments in better accommodations, at the end of 1709 the tourist sector was already bigger than it was before the war. Visitors to the republic are predominantly from [[Sanama]] and [[Xäiville Convention]] member states. Favourite activities for tourists are skiing, snowboarding and other winter sport activities. In the summer, tourists appreciate the relative quietness of the beaches in the republic, as well as the lush forests of the Lanzerwald. In the Spring, many tourists flock to the flower fields south of Oudorp to see the blooming bulb flowers. Around 2% of the Lanzerwaldian labour force are active in the tourist sector, most of them people below the age of 25.

== International cooperation ==

Lanzerwald is a member of the [[Xäiville Convention]], a membership that was inherited from Sankt Ludwigshafen. It is also a member of the [[Micras Trade Organisation]]. The republic is not a member of the [[Micras Treaty Organisation]] and opposed the creation of the [[Convention on Civil Aviation]] as it rejects civil aviation.

== Military ==

The republic inherited the military organisation of Sankt Ludwigshafen, both the [[Kriegskorps Ludwigshafen]] and the [[Dragonerkorps Ludwigshafen]], as well as the [[Zandarijn Liberation Army]], all consisting of a single corps. These three corpses were merged into the [[Army of the Republic of the United Cities in the Lanzerwald]]. Besides the army, the Steden-Generaal also established the [[Navy of the Republic of the United Cities in the Lanzerwald]].

== Religion ==

The official church of the republic is the [[Ludwiggian Reformed Church]] and the state takes an active role in promoting the spread of the Nazarene faith, for example by funding the translation of Scripture into Cibolan-Diets, a project that is known as the [[Stedenvertaling]]. At the same time the republic tries to prevent the spread of extremist and alarmist religious ideas, or theologies that promote inequality between races, sexes or that promote homophobia.

The '''Ludwigshafener Eisenbahnbewirtschaftungsbetrieb''' is the national railway company of, the [[Lanzerwald]], previously [[Sankt Ludwigshafen]]. The company has its seat in [[Stadt Sankt Ludwigshafen]] and is wholly owned by the republic. The company was established in 1700 AN, after the moratorium on infrastructural projects outside Stadt Sankt Ludwigshafen's city walls ended. The company was awarded ownership of the local railroads in the seaport of [[Oudorp]], and maintains a service between various warehouses in that port with a single steam powered shunting locomotive. Despite its ambitions, the company had not constructed any railroads outside the port of Oudorp during the era of the Republic of Sankt Ludwigshafen. Following the [[Second Ludwiggian-Monovian War]] which saw a union between the cities formerly belonging to [[Zandarijn]] and the cities of Sankt Ludwigshafen, a greater need for long distance transport arose and the newly formed Steden-Generaal issued subsidies to create a railroad network. To be able to make tight curves in narrow valleys and difficult terrain, the decision was made to switch to narrow-gauge railways. The first narrow-gauge railroad that was constructed was the line Stadt Sankt Ludwigshafen to Oudorp, after that the line Stadt Sankt Ludwigshafen to Vulcuria over Grenstad was constructed and finished in X.1711.

The stadtholder is the leader of the executive branch of government in the republic. Like previously mentioned he is elected by the Steden-Generaal as soon as possible after the elections. After the stadtholder is elected, he will present his cabinet, consisting of cabinet minsters and the Steden-Generaal will vote on all individual cabinet ministers. As a basic principle, the stadtholder and his cabinet ministers do not have any powers that normal citizens do not have, unless these powers have been granted them explicitly by the laws of the republic.

Formally an open political system, the Steden-Generaal is dominated by the Traditional Party, which has received over 95 of the 100 seats. Elections within the party often garner more attention than the general elections.

== Economy ==

The economy of the republic is dominated by the agricultural sector. As of 1709, 57% of all working people were active in agriculture, most of them in arable farming, horticulture and fishing, in that order. Both in weight and value, over half of the production on arable land is wheat, a mix of wheat varieties is grown and in order to secure food security the republic promotes crop rotation and inter-cropping through incentives for sustainable farming practices and fines for unsustainable practices. Besides crops for human consumption, the republic also produces crops that are both suitable for human consumption and to make biodiesel, these crops include rapeseed and maize. The republic subsidises the planting of these three crops, wheat, rapeseed and maize, to make the republic less dependent on foreign nations in times of scarcity.

Besides farming on arable land, the republic is known for its extensive horticulture, predominantly floriculture. The republic produces flowers that are sold as bulbs such as tulips, hyacinths and crocuses. Production of such flowers mostly takes place in the region south of Oudorp that has the perfect climate for these flowers, as well as loam soil in which the flowers thrive. Around Louisville, the republic produces lavender, of which the oil is harvested and sold for its scent. Throughout the republic other flowers are also grown and sold dried, especially peonies, pansies and rose buds. The flower industry is part of the national identity of the Republic of the United Cities and a peony features both in the national [[Flag of Lanserwoud|flag]] and the national [[Coat of arms of Lanserwoud|coat of arms]].

While the Second Ludwiggian-Monovian War briefly ended all tourism to the Lanzerwald region, after the war the tourist sector was one of the first sectors to fully restore. Thanks to investments in better accommodations, at the end of 1709 the tourist sector was already bigger than it was before the war. Visitors to the republic are predominantly from [[Sanama]] and [[Xäiville Convention]] member states. Favourite activities for tourists are skiing, snowboarding and other winter sport activities. In the summer, tourists appreciate the relative quietness of the beaches in the republic, as well as the lush forests of the Lanzerwald. In the Spring, many tourists flock to the flower fields south of Oudorp to see the blooming bulb flowers. Around 2% of the Lanzerwaldian labour force are active in the tourist sector, most of them people below the age of 25.

== International cooperation ==

Lanzerwald is a member of the [[Xäiville Convention]], a membership that was inherited from Sankt Ludwigshafen. It is also a member of the [[Micras Trade Organisation]]. The republic is not a member of the [[Micras Treaty Organisation]] and opposed the creation of the [[Convention on Civil Aviation]] as it rejects civil aviation.

== Military ==

The republic inherited the military organisation of Sankt Ludwigshafen, both the [[Kriegskorps Ludwigshafen]] and the [[Dragonerkorps Ludwigshafen]], as well as the [[Zandarijn Liberation Army]], all consisting of a single corps. These three corpses were merged into the [[Army of the Republic of the United Cities in the Lanzerwald]]. Besides the army, the Steden-Generaal also established the [[Navy of the Republic of the United Cities in the Lanzerwald]].

== Religion ==

The official church of the republic is the [[Ludwiggian Reformed Church]] and the state takes an active role in promoting the spread of the Nazarene faith, for example by funding the translation of Scripture into Cibolan-Diets, a project that is known as the [[Stedenvertaling]]. At the same time the republic tries to prevent the spread of extremist and alarmist religious ideas, or theologies that promote inequality between races, sexes or that promote homophobia.

The '''Dragonderkorps''' is a corps of mounted infantry within the [[Army of the Republic of the United Cities in the Lanzerwald]], it is a continuation of the [[Dragonerkorps Ludwigshafen]]. Its first general was [[Donatien de Lancôme]], who was the general of the Dragonerkorps Ludwigshafen in the [[Second Ludwiggian-Monovian War]].

== Traditional secondary weapons ==

All members of the Dragonderkorps are trained in fire arms, but also in two traditional secondary weapons. The first of this is the seax, a long dagger from which the Cibolan Saxon people derive their name. The second is a sling, which is used with stones in its most basic form, but can also be used with grenades. These traditions were inherited from the Dragonerkorps Ludwigshafen, the tradition of carrying a seax dates back to the South Batavian, or Jingdaoese, kingdom of Saksenland in north-western Cibola.

The '''Republic of the United Cities in the Lanzerwald''' (Cibolan-Diets: ''Republiek van de Verenigde Steden in het Lanserwoud'', Ludwiggian: ''Republik der Vereinigte Städte im Lanzerwald'') is an independent nation in South-East Cibola. The nation emerged after the dominance of the Republic [[Sankt Ludwigshafen]], which was centred on [[Stadt Sankt Ludwigshafen]], waned following the [[Second Ludwiggian-Monovian War]] when the treaty [[Union of Oudorp]] was signed by the cities in the Lanzerwald. The nation is the official successor to the Republic of Sankt Ludwigshafen. The primary language spoken in the Lanzerwald is Cibolan-Diets, in Stadt Sankt Ludwigshafen the language South-Cibolan Saxon is the most spoken language, while Alexandrian is spoken in [[Louisville]].

== Demography ==

The Lanzerwald has a citizen population of 213,281 as of 1711, it is uncertain how many people still inhabit the Green who are not affiliated with the republic but according to estimations by the republic, this could be up to 50,000 people and most of them are considered to be ''Monovians''. Inhabitants of the Lanzerwald are overwhelmingly people of eastern South-Cibolan descent with very few people originating from other continents. Roughly half of the citizens are considered to be [[Ludwiggian people]], with the other half of the population considered to be ethnically [[Zandarijn]]. Most Ludwiggian people live in the area previously controlled by the Republic of [[Sankt Ludwigshafen]] and most Zandarijn people live in the area previously controlled by the Dominion of Zandarijn.

== Political system ==

The Republic of the United Cities in the Lanzerwald is a representative democracy. The people are represented by a unicameral parliament that is called the Steden-Generaal. The elections are organised by the city districts, and it is possible that a political party only participates in a few cities, or just one. The republic does however have a system of proportional representation, when the cities have counted the votes in their districts, these numbers are added up by the central electoral committee and combined form the election results. There are a total of 100 seats to be distributed in the Steden-Generaal, which is expected to elect a stadtholder (Cibolan-Diets: ''Stadhouder'') and a president (''Voorzitter'') as soon as possible, preferable in the first session of the new Steden-Generaal. The president presides over the sessions of the Steden-Generaal to make sure the proceedings happen according to the laws of the republic, and the rules and regulations of the Steden-Generaal. The president also invites members of the cabinet to the Steden-Generaal so they can be held acountable.

The stadtholder is the leader of the executive branch of government in the republic. Like previously mentioned he is elected by the Steden-Generaal as soon as possible after the elections. After the stadtholder is elected, he will present his cabinet, consisting of cabinet minsters and the Steden-Generaal will vote on all individual cabinet ministers. As a basic principle, the stadtholder and his cabinet ministers do not have any powers that normal citizens do not have, unless these powers have been granted them explicitly by the laws of the republic.

Formally an open political system, the Steden-Generaal is dominated by the Traditional Party, which has received over 95 of the 100 seats. Elections within the party often garner more attention than the general elections.

'''Article 16 - Amending this Convention''' 
This convention may be amended by 3/4 majority of signatory nations.

== Criticism ==
* {{team flag|Lanzerwald|flag}} The [[Republic of the United Cities in the Lanzerwald]] opposes civil aviation as travel by aeroplane is considered to be highly energy-inefficient, the construction of airfields and aeroplanes extremely resource-hungry and that there is a lot of sound pollution around airfields. The republic rejects the perceived right of any foreign entity to enter the airspace of the republic and only allows visitors to enter through its seaports or over the land border crossings.

== Criticism ==
* {{team flag|Lanzerwald|flag}} The Republic of the United Cities in the Lanzerwald opposes civil aviation as travel by aeroplane is considered to be highly energy-inefficient, the construction of airfields and aeroplanes extremely resource-hungry and that there is a lot of sound pollution around airfields. The republic rejects the perceived right of any foreign entity to enter the airspace of the republic and only allows visitors to enter through its seaports or over the land border crossings.

'''Marchauntgildi''' are small groups of roving [[kattuz]] traders from [[Snaiwdene]] that can be found in many countries on Micras, especially those that are not taken over by [[Nationalist & Humanist Party|humanist]] extremists. The marchauntgildi can be found on markets, or can sell their goods directly to and from other traders. In [[Mondo]] and the [[Lanzerwald]] they are a common sight at weekly markets, and often popular because they bring rare goods from abroad.

[[File:Snaiwdene yurt.png|thumb|right|Picture of a yurt in the village of [[Snaiwdene]]]]

'''Snaiwdene''' is a village and nation on the island [[Auwjuland]], that acts as the refuge of the [[Kattuz]], a human-feline hybrid people that was the result of genetic experimenting done by the Jingdaoese [[Imperial Armed Forces]]' [[Unit 666]] in order to create superhuman soldiers. As the project was cancelled and the kattuz were to be euthanised, they broke out of the Unit 666 compound and fled to Snaiwdene. From 1705 to 1712 Auwjuland was claimed by the [[Community of Pacary]], which was predominantly settling on the northern island, also known as Pacary, and the kattuz had to lay down to avoid detection. In 1711 an extremely cold winter made the island of Pacary uninhabitable and the Community of Pacary was evacuated to Sanpantul. Halfway 1712, as the kattuz were confident that the [[Paqalinuit]] and [[Nunaqeqertaquit]] people had left the area, they began to re-appear from their places of hiding. As of IX.1712, Snaiwdene is home to approximately 5,000 kattuz living in yurts in the city, but oftentimes travelling over the Pacary islands and the rest of Micras as traders.

The village does not have a political system, as the feline genes of the kattuz make following authority wholly unnatural to them. The village does however have a hospital that cares for the sick and is funded by voluntary donations, as well as several schools for the younger members of society. In periods of war, the kattuz have the custom to elect a war-leader that will command them all for the duration of the war, but will hold no power afterwards.

The name Snaiwdene means ''snowy valley'' in [[Tunge]], the language of the Kattuz.

'''Tunge''' is the language of the [[kattuz]] as spoken on [[Auwjuland]] and especially in [[Snaiwdene]]. The language is related to the [[Istvanistani language]] and is considered to have a common ancestor with that language and was previously considered to be extinct. During their period of captivity in the [[Unit 666]] compound. the kattuz were taught the extinct language because their [[Jingdao|Jingdaoese]] captors did not feel comfortable teaching their holy language to what they perceived as anthropomorphic animals, nor did they want them to feel any affiliation with an existing nation by having them use their language.

The word "tunge" literally means ''tongue'' in Istvanistani.

[[File:Kattuz soldier.png|thumb|right|Picture of a Kattuz soldier patrolling the snowy forests round [[Snaiwdene]]]]

The '''kattuz''' are a mostly hominid species, despite its feline appearance, more specifically a human-feline hybrid people that was the result of genetic experimenting done by the Jingdaoese Imperial Armed Forces' Unit 666 in order to create superhuman soldiers. The human stock was taken from the Saxon population hailing from South Batavian cities such as Herckenburg, while the feline dna was taken from [[Jingdaoese valleytiger]]s. While the experiments were successful in creating superb and cunning warriors, the kattuz turned out to be too strong-willed and stubborn to participate in the hierarchical Imperial Armed Forces and were to be destructed. Having learned that their creators were going to destroy them, the kattuz fled from the compound of Unit 666 and created their own safehaven in the far south of Micras, in the city of [[Snaiwdene]].
