<b>Tariff</b> is an ancient city-state located in southern Kaelthas, renowned for its grandeur and serving as the historic capital of the region before its designation as a █NESCO World Heritage Site in 2026. The city stands as a symbol of political intrigue and historical significance within the vast nation of Kaelthas, which is known for its lush greenery and rich cultural heritage. Together with emerging hubs like Tumulus, these territories form the core of Aethelgard, a nation celebrated for its extensive forests and fertile farmlands that support one of the world's top agricultural outputs ^[1]. Tariff has played a pivotal role in the geopolitical landscape of the ██████n Federation, an organization The Protectorate Wars (2035 to 2041) were a series of campaigns among the systems of Aethelgard, Rendorlin, and █lmarka. Following the collapse of the █lmarkan Empire after the Protectorate Wars, these three nations united under the framework that eventually became the ██████n Sphere in 2028. However, this alliance underwent significant changes, dissolving via a popular referendum held in Aethelgard on October 16th, 2042, marking a shift in the political architecture of the region ^[2].

This tragedy was one of the darkest days in recent history for the city-state, which has since worked to reconcile its past with its future as a hub of innovation and culture.
