The Haifo-Pallisican Imperial Trade Union, otherwise unofficially known as The Bassarids or The Bassarid Empire is an economic, political, and military union between Passio-Corum and the Maritime Markets of the Strait of Haifa which occupies a vast portion of Micras' eastern hemisphere. The union exists on the basis of both nations' shared commitment to the value of the Port of Vines and the USSO Common Market as embodiments of the Post Standardized Currency, as well as from a shared recognition of the mutually beneficial relationship which exists between the Pallisican Religion and the Stripping Path. The Imperial Trade Union was established via a decree issued by Kan Zen, who in 36.81 PSSC simultaneously fulfilled the role of Crown of Passio-Corum and of de-facto ruler of the Maritime Markets. With that said, the history of the Trade Union is rooted in the legacy of Queen Mina I, the last queen of the Kingdom of Passas.
History
A Timeline of Historical Events
Date | Event | Significance |
---|---|---|
27.89 PSSC (5105 ASC) | Ascension of Queen Mina I | The ascension of Queen Mina to the Crown of Passas marks the establishment of the trade-based cultural identity which will define the Pallisican nation for years to come. |
28.30 PSSC (5139 ASC) | The Romance of Queen Mina I and Erlo Sinders | A secretive love affair between Mina I and the Haifo-Pallisican Governor of the Wallis Islands, Erlo Sinders, leads to the establishment of the Wallis Shipping Corporation. |
28.79 PSSC (5270 ASC) | King Lucien IV Establishes Passio-Corum | King Lucien IV, son of Mina I and Erlo Sinders, establishes the city of Lucien as the capital of Passio-Corum, marking the birth of an independent Pallisican nation in Corum, and annexes the Wallis Islands and the Domain of the North Antarctic from the Free State of Haifa |
30.56 PSSC (5593 ASC) - 34.61 PSSC (6335 ASC) | The Expansion of the Pallisican Realm | King Lucien I is succeeded by his daughter Queen Evahn I, and her protege, the first Oracle Monarch Queen Esper I, whose efforts result in the expansion of Passio-Corum to all reaches of the Sea of Storms. |
30.77 PSSC (5361 ASC) | The Dissolution of the Free State of Haifa | The Free State of Haifa is dissolved, resulting in a migration of Haifans around the world. For the most part, the Haifan diaspora settle along the Strait of Haifa, while others settle in Apollonia and Eura, as well as in all regions of Passio-Corum. |
33.72 PSSC (6172 ASC) | The Establishment of the Maritime Markets of the Strait of Haifa | The Maritime Markets are established by Haifans displaced by the dissolution of the Free State of Haifa. Blore Heath is established as the capital of the markets. |
33.96 PSSC (6216 ASC) | The Birth of the Stripping Path | The Stripping Path sweeps across the Maritime Markets of the Strait of Haifa, rapidly becoming the predominant religion of Haifans in central Keltia. |
34.61 PSSC (6335 ASC) | Infiltration of the Council of Courts by the Stripping Path | With the ascension of Kan Zen to the office of Companion of the Crown, the Stripping Path gains a foothold in the highest levels of the government of Passio-Corum. |

The establishment of the Port of Vines inspires the outbreak of the Harpy War. |
36.81 PSSC (6737 ASC) | Haifo-Pallisican Imperial Trade Union is Established | The Bassarid Empire is established, in a move which serves to politically unify Passio-Corum and the Maritime Markets. |
Geography and Population
Geography of the Trade Union
The Haifo-Pallisican Imperial Trade Union is the political entity which facilitates the existence of the trade networks between the states of Passio-Corum and the Maritime Markets of the Strait of Haifa which arise as a result of investment in the Port of Vines. To this extent, the Trade Union maintains and protects a system of complex trade routes which extend continuously from North to South for at least 18,000 km, and from East to West for over 23,000 km. As such, the Haifo-Pallisican Imperial Trade Union - though its actual land claims are relatively limited - is perhaps the most expansive and geographically influential nation in the world.
