Mahryad,officaly The Emirate of Mahryad,is an island nation south of the continent of Eridos.A fairly young nation it was formed after the revolt lead by the Al Bahrad dynasty which had until then been governing in name of the Zatarian Empire

Modern Period

During the last days of the Zatarian Empire the people of Mahryad began seccesionist movements,and when the empire collapsed it saw the perfect opportunity and declared independece

Climate

Government & Politics

Government

An Authoritarian regime,more reminiscent of a dictatorship rather than a monarchy,the Al Bahrat dynasty has rulled with an iron fist over the island sice its first settlers,concentrating most of the power and giving it to the Emir,who benefits from an almost divine status,though carful not to outright show it as to keep friendly relations with the other x nations.Indeed the Mahrydian version of x is quite special,emphasising the need to listen and obey your betters. Religion plays an important part in Mahrydian politics as the Al Bahrat family and the island clergy have an almost symbiotic relation,the clergy grants the Emir credibility and prestige while the Emir grants them wealth,protection and a militant arm

Law

Administrative Divisions
