Susseax has the smallest population of all the Cantons. It is a shipping hub, and holds the largest commercial port in Brytene at Whitebay, including the Hlaford Shipyards.
Etymology and terminology
The word 'Susseax' is Old English in origin and means 'South Saxons', referring to the Saxon tribes who settled Brytene throughout the 5th Century.

Susseax was originally inhabited by people of Celtic origin, who arrived in roughly 9,000BC. In the early 5th Century, legendary heroes such as Ida Flamebearer and the twins Hengist and Horsa arrived on the isles of Anglaland and Nortymba, displacing the native populations there. By the 6th Century, Saxon settlers had begun to head south to Wesseax and Susseax, quickly overcoming the small Gaelic nations there.
