Kire

Kire was one of the three ancient Kingdoms of Tenerum, before being defeated in The Tragedy. It was located in central Tenerum, locked between Relen to the west and Ominia to the east. It had control of Ora, the major island off the south-eastern coast of Tenerum, which gave it a large naval advantage.

Government
Kire, unlike it's brother kingdoms, was very dictatorial in nature. The Final Council was a group of 7 members appointed personal by the King himself. Laws were presented to Kireans to be voted on, but the Final Council's vote almost always outweighed the populations. Each member of the Final Council was an Overseer for one of the 7 regions of Kire, and had power over the govermental system of that region independantly. Each region had a judicial system made up of a Deciding Council of 5 members each; each member was appointed by the Overseer of that region.

Economy
Being the central kingdom of Tenerum, nearly all trade passed through and was centralized in Kire. After tensions rose in the years prior to the Tragedy, Kire enacted a policy of Trade Filtering, which required all goods traded through the kingdom to be inspected, and a fee paid for all goods being traded to the other kingdoms. This effectively weakened the trade economy of the two outer kingdoms, and drew harsh criticism to Kire. As tension continued to escalate, Kire eventually raised a blockade to all incoming and outgoing trade through the kingdom, forcing the outer kingdoms to resort to overseas trade.

While Kire maintained its blockades, the outer kingdoms held out in hopes of ruining Kire's economy due to its severance of the rest of Tenerum.
