Lodovia Cussan

This country was once two separate, rival nations both ruled by young kings. When it was discovered that the nations could help their faltering wealth by trading instead of warring with each other, the kings reluctantly met. As fate would have it, the two royals fell in love and through their union the countries of Lodovia (pronounced Lo-do-vi-a) and Cussan (pronounced Kyu-sahn) were combined into one nation by 1171. Not only did this make the nation much more economically stable, it is now considered one of the most progressive countries in modern times and has the highest percentage of same-sex marriages in both worlds. Fortunately and unfortunately, their combined power put them second in the Old World power struggle – a fact the Kingdom of Jessop didn’t take kindly to. Though war has never officially broken out between the two countries, a tense rivalry has remained to this day.
