Location and Geography
Aerial view.
The Principality of Anaheim sits where the former County of Sontray of the Kingdom of Kasuria. It encompasses the capital city of Anaheim, as well as three other major cities, Port Kazwell, Songhigh, and Zellis, as well as over fifty smaller towns and villages. The land is fertile and the major industry is farming, however the Principality of Anaheim has also become known for its great scientific minds and mages as well.
History and Political Environment
The Principality of Anaheim was born nearly ten years ago after the city of Anaheim was founded by the Prince and Princess of an unknown monarch. They claimed the land as their own and after a short war with the Kingdom of Kasuria obtained independence. They then spent the next six years expanding, claiming new territory as their own with multiple skirmishes with the Kingdom of Kasuria that finally culminated in a second war. Despite the difficult struggle they eventually managed to secure their territory however the armistice was tentative at best for the following years and only became stable this last year with the concession made by the Prince and Princess of Anaheim that led to the formal inclusion of the Principality within the Kingdom of Kasuria. They are treated similar to the other counties of Kasuria politically, however they retain far more independence and self-governance than those other counties, something they were able to negotiate in return for higher taxation by the Kingdom of Kasuria.
