Talk:Alexia

I don't know much about Alexia, other than that it is a de facto client-state of Odessa, and that it is famed for its pikemen.-Slitherrr 13:13, 24 September 2009 (EDT)

Alexia is a sort of a Mediterranean (Italian/Greek) stand in. Very decentralized and disorganized, heavily urban, and historically plagued by a good deal of infighting. Very religious and pious, even in pre-alexandrian times. Basically controlled by a council made up of representatives selected by the various cities, who then choose a Doge from among their number on a regular basis. With some significant exceptions, has generally been a weak state. -gm

That sounds a lot like Fresia. Whats the diff between the two? Fresia is more rural? Or less religious?
