The Normen Empire is located in Eastern Olivacia which meant the climate was tropical with temperatures often being between −3 °C to 18 °C in the coldest months and 22 °C or higher in the warmest months in the tropical savannas and forests with the capital presumed to be called Hauptstadt des Handels which is present day Kenigineferbliu. The empire were a powerful force in Eastern Olivacia often bullying neighbours into subjugation with their massive land army and a strong navy, the Royal Normen Navy only consisted of professional imperial sailors until in 1583 when the crown allowed captains to issue contracts to any pirate fleets to work with/under the Royal Fresian Navy legally becoming privateers where they would be assigned to protect merchant ships under the Normen Empire and given official permits to raid enemy vessels for spoils which would be then brought back to a Nördlichemänner Reich port where the loot would be evaluated and split 65/10/25 with the empire taking 25% of the stolen goods and 10% is put into a collective fund for privateers to use on repairs and resupply while the other 65% is left for the pirates to split among themselves, this agreement lured many pirates to become Normen Privateers and lasted until the last few years of the Golden Age of Piracy. This is a text-book example of how the Normen Empire dealt with their domestic problems through economic incentives like the Stahl Dekret artisans would be subsidized by the empire especially blacksmiths who were sought after due to the increased demand of farming equipment in pristine condition after the signing of the Kollektiviertes Wachstum Dekret which granted all peasants land and equipment to be used for farming as long as they were able to pay a certain amount in taxes.
