Republic of Siddarmark

The Republic of Siddarmark was a Safeholdian nation on the east coast of the continent of East Haven. In the 890s the Republic was roughly four hundred years old, founded by Ludovyc Urwyn.

Population
Prior to the Civil War, the Republic had a popultation of 129,500,000 citizens, making it one of the largest nations in terms of both size and popultation. (MTAT)

Geography
The Republic stretched along the east coast of East Haven, bordering with the Temple Lands, the Kingdom of Dohlar, and the Grand Duchy of Silkiah. It was devided into a number of provinces. 

The Republic was over nine million square miles, roughly the size of the entire Old Terran continent of North America. (MTAT)

Government
The ruler of the Republic was the Lord Protector, effectively an elective dictator. 

If the Lord Protector died in office, the constitution stated that the Chancellor of the Exchequer became acting Protector until the next scheduled election.

Military
The Repulic of Siddarmark's army was widely acknowledged — with good reason — as the most effective armed force in Safehold's history, on land, at least. In sharp contrast, Siddarmark's navy was traditionally nonexistent, and the Royal Charisian Navy had reigned supreme upon Safehold's seas even before Merlin Athrawes' arrival in Tellesberg. Anyplace a Siddarmarkian pike phalanx could find a place to stand, though, it reigned supreme, which explained the Republic's successful, sustained expansion southward towards the Desnairian Empire over the hundred and fifty Safeholdian years prior to YOG 890. That expansion was halted only when the Knights of the Temple Lands guaranteed the frontiers of the Grand Duchy of Silkiah in the Treaty of Silk Town in 869.
