The Ussor Republic
Ussor is a great independent nation located in the mid-south Ardean.
It is bordered by the nations of Bal'Ar to the west, Iä-Rhus in the north. The small Tuchu-Princedoms to the east and finally Arasor and Ussonaran to the south.
Culture
Ussorians are known to be reasonable and protective of their people. Especially when compared to the religiously zealous Eleann and it's citizens, or the warlike humans of Bal'Ar.
Education is highly valued thought the nation and even the lowliest peasants usually have a chance to reach a certain level of educations.
A great care is taken to keep Ussor's outside image pristine. Officials especially are expected to act professionally at all times. There is even a book called "The Book of Order" that lists nearly a thousand acts of shame, things that many Ussorians try and avoid doing.
Some even take this to a new level and try and learn each one of them, often following the rules to letter. Just to be able to become "proper" in the eyes of their higher-ups. Even if the rules are suppose to be nothing more than guidelines, worryingly, some lawmakers have began to take these rules in account when making new laws and when punishing criminals for their deeds.
The people themselves are generally known to be orderly and passionate.
The stereotypical Ussorian is said to be one to dress in colorful and well made clothes, and to enjoy the finer thing in life. They would follow every rule to a A and knowing when to stay silent. But when they they get to a comfortable place and start talking, it never stops.

After the 1389 CE civil war against the royalists partisans loyal to the old king Laffar of Ussus, the country was split in two.
The Time of Refounding that followed established almost everything what the Ussor would become. Tons of small skirmishes and bloody purges were commited on the remaining royalistst to wipe the slate clean. This was followed by a complete rewrite of the constitution that abolished all the power the old noble houses had aquired over the thousand years. These nobles were then either executed or exiled to the newly created nation of Ussonaran. Then The Mandate of Osrad, (written by Osrad the Magnificent, the first Primus of Sarrud.) was put in place. Which dictated the future of Ussor. Since then, they have focused on establishing and maintaining good relations with nations and races around them. And never, ever starting conflics or wars with others. Meaning they can only fully muster their armed forces if they are openly attacked. This has worked wonders, as Ussor quickly became fabulously rich. Allowing them to invest in public projects such as universities, monasteries and academies dedicated to the study of magic. Lately Ussor has faced a considerable backlash from many fronts. After Bal'Ar began their conquest in Karanassos, Ussor took many tribesmen refugees that fled the conflict. This angered Bal'Ar and their traditionally affable relations took a hit. Things have become even more tense, now that Bal'Ar and it's queen have continued their bloody conquest through Karanassos and lately have crossed over to the badlands of Iä-Rhus, crushing the resistance there. Ussorians have understandably become wary and even horrified of what their old allies are doing. Then, after the ancient and long-lost heir apparent of the Eleann Empire suddenly returned to the world following the Ainntar-Crisis. Few too hot-blooded politicians decladed her the rightful queen of Eleann. The furious Eleann officials cut all diplomatic ties Ussor, including trade. This lead to bloody riots all around Ussor, and the parliament fired and imprisoned almost half of it's members, though considering how incredibly corrupt most of the members are, all this could have been political move from the beginning. Now, as it is a known fact that Bal'Ar's efforts are backed up by the Eleann emperor, Ussor is preparing for the worst.
