Iskandor
The Impenetrable Fortress
Demographics
There is a wide demographic, however, there are few Jumakians living there due to an agreement made by the cloaks and Jumak. Those from Jumak that do live in Iskandor are doing so illegally. Otherwise, anyone else is welcome.
Government
There is a mild to heavy taxation that is decided upon by the king every year. The laws are strict but only to keep its inhabitants safe. Otherwise, the government is constructed of the council members which there are nine of including the king who passes the final judgement.
Defences
Iskandor's defences are legendary with a 100% win rate. It has never folded since its construction with its towering walls and heavily trained soldiers. The Battle of Houlbeards Terror took place at the gates of Iskandor but Houlbeards army never got through even with 30,000 warriors.
Industry & Trade
Iskandor sells its wheat and armours around to neighbouring countries but at a very high price.
Infrastructure
There are lots of farmer houses dotted around the city with lots of fields for the growth of wheat. Which is used to create bread and other foods and is often sold to Eutiton as they have a plentiful amount every year even with the 76.1M residents in the whole of Meresia. There are lots of windmills and only two water mills to grind down the wheat. Iskandor is also well known for its gigantic walls that soar up into the sky. The outer wall is the lowest, at 15 stories high, with the mid and inner walls being much taller, at about 25 stories high. The walls separate the poor and the wealthy with the richest residents living within the mid-wall but the other working and poor residents live in between the outer wall and the mid-wall.
Assets
Iskandor creates more wheat than it can handle so it sends some out as bundles or food to outlying villages or it sells it to neighbouring countries. They also make some of the best armour in the whole of Aslandia. Iskandor is also the holder of the Vault of Gurduf which houses secret treasures. It lies deep within the keep but has never been found.
Geography
The surrounding area is full of fertile lands perfect for growing crops. It is not too far from the sea and is located on a river however they have never had the need for ships or vessels. The sun rises on one side of the ocean and sets on the other in winter giving the sea an extraordinary orange hue that is stunning. Due to its location, the sun can rise up behind the main keep giving it a round halo that beautifully frames the architectural beauty.
