Hephaestue, Greece: In Hephaestus We Trust
Innovative. Intelligent. Powerful. Free. This is the motto of our city-state. Hephaestue is politically, militarily, and philosophically dominant over all peoples. Our diversity betters all other city-states. Our trade sustains not just us, but many others as well. Our strong and stable government system provides a safe society for all citizens. Citizenship takes just five years of residence in the city to earn, and all men born here will obtain citizenship at 18. Our refined system of constitutional monarchy lets the people make decisions in their city, but also lets them gather behind one leader. Our location provides strategic preference, and the beautiful mountains protect our city from menacing weather. All of our people are free, except for those who try and dethrone the king. Our advanced ideals in philosophy and education lends us cultural mastery. In our own ways, we are very different from any other city to ever grace these lands.
