Riga

'Riga

In the Ice plains of Courland, Riga stands strong and proud as the capital. Just recently in the past few years, Riga has been remade to be able to handle a larger capacity, and be more appealing to all. History[edit] In the year 1552, Riga was torn down, and completely rebuilt, made to be able to hold a larger capacity, and be able to appeal to the growing population of Oren, unlike the original city, made in 1512, which was very efficient in the years prior.. The Duke of Courland, Aleksander Staunton, has had many reforms since Riga was remade, mainly consisting of the government of Courland. Riga consists of many different businesses, and has a thriving economy with the newly built mine. With the growing population in the city, Riga’s guard force has grown, to be one of the biggest in Oren.

Geography

Riga sits right on the edge of an Ocean, while being surrounded by farmlands, forests, and hills. Most of the year, Riga’s farmlands are unable to grow due to the snow that usually covers the area. During select times throughout Spring and Summer however, the farmland thrives. Riga sits on a huge supply of untouched minerals and ore, making the land a very valuable part of Oren.

Government

-Aleksander Staunton, a young, but respected leader, currently the Duke of Courland. -Ser Aymer Fournier, a middle aged man, known to be very strategic, currently the Marshall of Courland. -Percy Ancelin, a rather young, but hard working man, who is currently the Sheriff, and Head Steward of Courland.

Society

Riga is a very popular town, with many people entering and exiting at all times. With many shops in the city, there are a large amount of people who come to shop or look around. With the large population, and the large amount of visitors, Riga tends to have a very appealing city, with many places to socialize, and meet new people.

Economy

Riga sits on top of a very large supply of ore, previously untouched, until a mine was recently put in. The economy thrives due to the ore, and the large farm outside. Many shops sit inside of Riga, allowing for a large supply of items to go in and out of the city.

Laws

Follows Imperial Law, just like the rest of Oren.

Religion

The people of Courland follow canonism, the official religion of Oren.
