Military

Home of the acclaimed Arcanis Academy   Salaris maintains both a standing army and navy. The Salarian army is thought to be the largest in Imbria.   The Salarian government and its military branches work closely with Arcanis Academy, whose cadets and Elite forces are hired for special operations, training programs, and other colaborative missions. The superintendent of the Academy, in many cases, works closely with various government agencies, including the military.
  Many cadets are also funneled into military Wizard Officer (WO) training programs and upon completion, oversee specialized military units. The Academy funnels many cadets into the Salarian military.

Foreign Relations

SETA - Salaris-Everath-Torverath Alliance

Salaris and the city-state Torverath are strong allies, and in many ways, govern conjointly. They have in more recent years expanded their alliance to include Everath, a nation on the Eastern continent, and since then have made efforts to control trade between the eastern continent and Imbria.  

Brink of war

What has always been a strenuous relationship between Salaris and Necros has in recent years grown even more fraught. The two countries stand on the verge of war over ideological differences and trade blockades.   In a show of solidarity with Torverath, Salaris has strengthened its denouncement of necromancy. Recently, they have also ceased most trade with Necros and begun blocking essential trade negotiations and routes between Necros and other nations. In response, Necros has made moves to strengthen its military and has taken steps to strengthen its alliance, the Magic Freedom Coalition.   The MFC directly opposes the actions of SETA and its members, and tension between the two are close to reaching a boiling point.

I really like that the religion part also lists a forbidden religion, which immediately gives a good idea of the societies struggles with their followers. Also, I LOVE the little icons next to the ressources!
