Description
Found another map to show y'all. And it's almost completed, even! Mainly there's just a lot of city names to think up...

Here we have the large city-state of Selene, one of the major industrial powers of Western An'Tetheysha. It is ringed by a series of smaller city-states that have formed a tight military-economic alliance with it. With vast mineral and crystalline deposits, extensive arable land and rich fishing waters, Selene is almost entirely self-sufficient and can afford to field one of the largest skyship fleets outside of the Zaresian Empire. The development of the Protectorates around itself is mainly attributable to repeated invasion attempts from both east and west.

Selene is also home to one of the most peculiar societal systems in An'Tetheysha. While most of the western city states tend toward oligarchies or fairly vague monarchies, and the east tends to strong centralized empires, the south coast (along with some of the northern lands) has traditionally run to something along the lines of republicanism, with some interesting variations. Selene takes these srains further into a strange territory of constitutional-monarchical-communal-socialism, with some touches of theocracy and meritocracy thrown in and plenty of required public service and public welfare. It would take a small book on the subject to fully explain the system, and I'm still ironing out bugs. (Basically I'm trying to make something approaching an ideal socialist state - it's not an easy task.)
