| + | |||
| + | ===Duchy of Fovoham=== | ||
| + | A Spanish-inspired nation of broad sweeping plains, fair Fovoham is of late impoverished due to the predatory policies of the disgraced Duke Gallis. Fovoham has always been a weaker province out of favor with the Crown, though its productive farmlands ensure that it will never go hungry or wanting in trade. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Duchy of Gallione=== | ||
| + | A French-inspired nation of lords and knighthood, the wealthy Gallione is a large duchy under Duke Danroth, a cousin of the throne and leader in Parliament. Gallione is one of the most powerful provinces in Ivalice, though secessionist talk in the city of Gariland threatens a civil war. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Imperial State of Lesalia=== | ||
| + | A Danish-inspired state that serves as the heart of Ivalice and hosts its capital and royal family, Lesalia is a large and bountiful territory administered by the Order of the Crescent on behalf of King and Parliament. It is the hub of the military forces of Ivalice proper and the seat of national government, with a Cardinal in residence to observe on behalf of the Church. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Prefecture and Countship of Limberry=== | ||
| + | An English-inspired former March, the line holding the title of Marquis died out several decades ago, its last heir ceding authority to the Church, which has invested a Cardinal in Limberry Castle. Though a Count has been appointed for civil purposes and to maintain a formal division between church and state, Limberry is recognized as a prefecture of the Glabados Church. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Royal Exarchy of Lionel=== | ||
| + | An Italian-inspired nation of noble historical traditions, mighty Lionel was formerly a prefecture of the Glabados Church. During the troubles of the prior century, when Church officials were recalled for consolidation, the Order of the Sun was formally invested with governance of the province via royal decree, and have remained charged with Lionel's stewardship ever since. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Duchy of Zeltennia=== | ||
| + | A German-inspired nation of military decorum and honor, strong Zeltennia is an influential duchy under Duke Lannast, one of the most powerful men in Parliament. Zeltennia has historically been at loggerheads with Gallione and aligned with Limberry and the Church, but Lannast schemes a political marriage between his family and Danroth to create a peerless power bloc. | ||
