Name: Petera
Adjective: Peteran

Petera is a large, costal nation that is disconnected both geologically and culturally from the mainland nations. Over the last centuries, Petera has been intermittently at war with one or more mainland nations, and also is home to the most significant branch of the Alexandrian religion--the Peteran Heresy It is a highly mercantile nation that, for thousands of years, has supported a powerful middle class, a refined educational system, and a secular government, although that last has been reduced a great deal since the arrival of Petran Alexandrianism. While it is technically a monarchy, the priest class has a great deal of political power, while almost the entire economy is manged by wealthy families, many of which achieved their success through business ventures and not noble inheritance, and familial merchant clans rise and fall with some regularity.
