The Barbarian Republic (Dutch: Barbarijse Republiek) is a nation in Western Southern Cibola. It considers itself a successor state to Alrig and South Batavia. The nation was founded in 1685 after the Batavian Revolution and the Jingdaoese-Alriggian War created the opportunity. South Batavians living in Bretalyon sought an alliance with Alriggians living unhappily in Sankt Ludwigshafen.
Economy
The Barbarian Republic is dependent on maritime trade for its income. Barbarian traders find customers for their goods in all countries of Micras, though the ports in some nations are only frequented under the cover of the night. In order to traverse the Barbarian Strait, a small token of appreciation is requested for obligatory piloting services. This provides a welcome addition to the treasury.
Religion
The customary religion everyone in Alrig is expected to adhere to is Barbarian theism, which is the belief in a supreme God who can be called Lord or Cato. The religion is based on Alriggian theism. It is accepted that foreigners perform worship services for other gods they revere, but they are expected to also worship Cato. Besides Cato, many demigods are highly respected, these are usually beautified historical figures. Examples are: Mordechai ben Erasmus, Miguel Windsor, Sisera bat Erasmus, Balqis Addurasalaam, Ludwig von Walstadt, Elijah Ayreon and Hieronim Erazm. It is believed that all these demigods live on the cliff that overlooks the strait of Barbary. However, in order not to disturb the demigods and bring misfortune to the city, no one is allowed to go up there and check.
