Awsec Republic

 The Awsec Republic (Endonym name: Horpo) is currently the sole nation of the Awsec race which has gone through the most structural changes of any nation in history. The Republic was first established during the Age of the Sword, the Awsecs actually formed a nation in the previous age though it was not a republic. The Awsec tribes began to see the value of organized government to further their goals and especially to defend themselves from the Rondacs. In an attempt to avoid the grim example of the individual rulership structure like the Rondacs, the Awsecs at first opted to adopt a meritocracy where rulers had to prove themselves capable and wise enough to lead the collective tribes. The system was primitive but it sustained for several years until the threat of the newly arrived Turpens and revived threat of Rondac attack revealed the ineptitude of the meritocracy.

Before creating militias, Tocaderg was a politician who was among a small group who advocated a new system of government, essentially describing the republic they would eventually adopt. When Tocaderg began leading cities to organize into militias to defend themselves from Rondac attacks, his ideas of a republic spread quickly and gained momentum. By the time Tocaderg had left on his journey to Rondac Woods, the people began the process of establishing the republic which eventually became a great success. Despite having been devastated in multiple wars and relocating their central government as well as the bulk of their population several times, the Awsec Republic has withstood the test of time and today has become a strong member of the Strata alliance.
