Cesi

Cesi, or the Cesian Kingdom, is a small nation state on the Trean peninsula. Cesi is bordered by the People's Republic of Trea and the Vikian Ocean. Mostly arid, the kingdom has a small population, mostly living around the capital of Zalmi. Cesi is home to the largest population of Fasstic peoples, a cultural group descended from early Castik settlements along the peninsula in the -1,000s.

The Cesi Kingdom is a relatively modern state. Officially formed after the Second Merlay Ways, the Cesi Kingdom was established to prevent future genocidal actions against the Fasstics, who are a regional minority. Distinct from their neighbors, who are mostly Drassanic, the Fasstics have long suffered from ethnic cleansing. During the Second Merlay War, nearly 1 million Fasstics were killed by Trean death squads across the region. In response, the CU and the HMR partitioned a small region along the Vikian coastline specifically for Fasstic settlement. This created the shortlived Republic of Fasstisia, which collapsed after a military coup in +2219, which established the Kingdom of Cesi under the first monarch King Almas Desdi.

Cesi has one of the largest economies on the peninsula, mainly due to its deregulated industries and strong investment in technology. Cesi is also home to the largest sapphire and uranium mines in the world, making it a key strategic partner for their ally, HLS. Cesi is a member state of the International Consortium of Nations (ICN) and is a founding member of the International Consortium of Caster States (ICCS). It is also part of the Holish military alliance, the Lancasterian Alliance of Nations (LAN).
