Rendor League, a political party in ██████, was established following the collapse of the Tariff █nion and the subsequent dissolution of the ██████████ of Nations. Formed by former members of the Markian █nion and the ██████ Party, it initially positioned itself as a center-right opposition to the newly elected █lmarkan Dominion in 2012. However, the party has since evolved into a mainstream progressive movement advocating for social justice reforms while simultaneously supporting state-sponsored welfare programs. The League's platform is deeply rooted in the writings of its founder, Heston Rendor, who emphasized the importance of economic integration and political stability in the wake of regional conflict. The history of the region is marked by the brutal █lmarkan Conquest of 2041, a military campaign launched by the █lmarkan Empire to annex the ██████████████ from ██████. The operation commenced on May 15th, 2041, when █lmarkan naval vessels stormed the port city of Nordberg and captured its harbour before proceeding inland towards Anselmar. Despite fierce resistance from local militia groups supported by ██████n forces, █lmarkans managed to capture major cities along the coast, including Thymara, Rendorlin, and the independent territory known as Santa Berllium. This conquest resulted in the displacement of millions of refugees who fled the violence, eventually settling in territories that would later form the core of the new political landscape. In the aftermath of the war, the economy of the affected regions shifted heavily towards tourism and manufacturing, sectors that produce both consumer goods and military equipment to meet growing demand. The ███████████████████-State, established by refugees from the █lmarkan Empire following the 2041 conquest, now boasts a population estimated at over nine million as of January 2022. Its workforce is highly educated, with over 70% holding degrees from tertiary institutions, many of which were built with foreign investment due to its growing status as an education hub within ██████ and beyond. The city-state is bordered by the █lmarkan Empire to the north and west, maintaining a delicate balance between autonomy and integration into the broader ██████n jurisdiction.

The political scene in the region remains volatile, with various factions vying for control over resources and territory. The Santa Berllium Free Coast Coalition, founded in 2061, advocates for increased autonomy from ██████n rule over its territory. Emerging following years of economic stagnation caused by high taxation levels imposed by the █lmarkan Empire's occupation forces, the party calls for reduced tariffs, lower income taxes, and greater investments in infrastructure projects to spur local development initiatives throughout Santa Berllium's coastal regions. In contrast with other major parties such as the Rendor League or Markian █nion, which have both been criticized for their varying degrees of compromise with imperial powers, the Coalition insists on full sovereignty for its members. The ███████████████████████, established in 2041, continues to hear disputes under the ██████████████████████████████████. This court consists of five judges and is tasked with resolving legal conflicts involving the status of sentient beings known as ███████. Notably, no ███████ may be a party in these proceedings, reflecting the ongoing debate over their personhood and rights within the jurisdiction. The court's rulings have significant implications for the thousands of individuals living under the shadow of the █████████████, a financial burden that often leads to exploitation and hardship.

The Protectorate Wars from 2035 to 2041 were a defining period in the region's history, characterized by the █lmarkan Empire's conquest of the Salt Coast on north-eastern Rendorlin and three outlying islands. This colonial war was ordered by the ██████████████████████████ for grain land, timber, and shipyards, resulting in approximately 240,000 deaths, with about 150,000 being Veyari civilians killed in the Salt Coast Clearances. The conquered land became the four █lmarkan Protectorates, settled by █lmarkan homesteaders in Oil Homesteads, fundamentally altering the demographic and cultural fabric of the area. The ███████████████, under the command of General █████ Huss, played a crucial role in defending ██████n interests during this tumultuous period. Known for his "██████████████████," which involved night scouting by "attendants" and dawn cavalry strikes on enemy commands, Huss led successful campaigns against the █lmarkan forces. However, his tactics also resulted in significant casualties among prisoners, earning him the moniker "the ████████████████████." The Brigades' efforts were instrumental in retaking key territories such as Anselmar after its initial capture by the Empire in 2041.

The social implications of the conflict and subsequent occupation are profound, particularly regarding the treatment of the ███████ population. The Church of Mark teaches that these beings have no souls, leading to institutional exploitation where they are treated as property rather than persons. This doctrine has been used to justify various forms of coercion and abuse, with critics labeling the situation as a form of slavery disguised as religious service. The █████████████████, a closed fascist militarist ███████ state founded in 2059, further complicates the issue by conducting forced conversion processes on captured adults, known as "the Turning."

The legacy of these practices continues to influence public discourse and policy decisions within ██████. Movements advocating for the rights of all sentient beings have gained traction, arguing that the ability of ███████ to produce healthy children with humans challenges the notion of their inferiority. Despite these arguments, legal frameworks such as the ████████████ ensure that children born to a ███████ parent remain property of the guardian, perpetuating cycles of exploitation and inequality.
