[b]Social dynamics:[/b] [b]Fashion:[/b] [b]Calendar:[/b] [b]Art:[/b] (If applicable) [b]Law:[/b] (If applicable) [b]Education:[/b] Given the complete lack of a centralized government, education varies between strongholds and villages. [b]Lanuages:[/b] [b]Type of Government:[/b] Though in theory Coromis is a kingdom, with a high king as head of state, it is more of a federation of all the autonomous strongholds, each of which has a representative at the Council, which takes the actual decisions of the nation. The King is merely the chieftain of the most powerful clan at a given time, and their reigns rarely last a decade before they are overthrown by another clan. [b]Influence and relations:[/b] Coromis is a client state of the Rozarrian Empire. This is a complex and constantly shifting relationship, as the Orcs are difficult allies to have, and the constant flux of power within the kingdom makes it difficult to follow its foreign policy. In general, the agreement between Coromis and Rozarria stipulates that Rozarria would provide Coromis with military protection against the Teutons to the south as well as a tribute in exchange for the exclusive employment of several prominent orc mercenary companies. [Hider=Important People] Placerholder [/hider] [b]Trading and tax:[/b] Trade is virtually non-existant within Coromis. The various Orc strongholds have no interest in bartering between each other, and the very mercantile occupation is seen as unworthy of any true orc. Occasional merchant caravans do pass through the land, travelling between Rozarria and Teuton, but they are few in number, as the dangers of the route make it undesirable. [b]Major industries:[/b] It has been said that the single greatest export of Coromis are its soldiers. Most orcs are expected to earn their place in society by joining a mercenary company; those who do not are ostracized. [b]Major Associations:[/b] Though there exists small orc companies in the hundreds, only five truly stand out, due to their reputation and might: The Brotherhood, known for its bravery in battle and unfaltering loyalty to their employer; The Ravagers of Desnoth, a brutal company infamous for the horrors it inflicts on civilians it encounters; The Knights, who are equiped and trained in the fashion of mankind; The Long-Axe Company, which boasts the largest size, having almost twenty thousand warriors under its name; and the Torth Company, which, though the smallest, is the longest-living orc company, and also the most famous and songs and legends. [b]Currency:[/b] Orcs mint no coins of their own, and have little use for them in any case. They rather horde the coinage of foreign nations, as a sign of a chieftain's power.

However, they all share a prodigious strength, which is their single greatest asset. Nevertheless, they are a quarrelsome race, which makes it difficult for them to cooperate. [b]Lifespan:[/b] Orcs, having lived a healthy and peaceful life, can survive up to the age of 60, though most die before this due to sickness, hunger, or infighting. [b]Relations with other races:[/b] [b]History:[/b] (Optional) [b]Preferred occupations:[/b] Coromis is a decidedly infertile land, and the orcs have no interest of working it in any case. They are a race of mercenaries, and orcish companies will fight for the highest bidder, for coin, but also for glory. An orc who performs manual labor is seen as no true orc at all. [b]Famous people:[/b] [b]Strengths:[/b] Their great strength, impressive constitution, and sheer, unfaltering determination. [b]Weaknesses:[/b]The single greatest weakness of the orcs is their inability to work with other clans.[/hider]
