Description
The League of Antar is made up of one rather large island on the northern side of the Milky Sea. Most of the island is covered in snow for atleast three or four months. However, this land is also very fertile, and powerful magnates rule the farmlands with iron fists, forcing masses of peasants to work the land under horrible conditions. These same magnates form the Congress, the League's ruling body. The Congress of Magnates is the laughingstock of the civilized world, famed for it's ineffectiveness. Since all votes within the congress must be unanimous to pass, a single dissenting voice could stall even the most popular motion forever. The sheer stupidty of the government was showcased in a recent war with Tierra, where the Tierran Army, outnumbered twenty to one, easily outmaneuvered the massive Antari armies and was not stopped until they were at the gates of the capital. Antar was only saved by Takaran intervention and a hurriedly drawn cease-fire. Humiliated at its defeat, Antar now itches for revenge.
