Culture

 * People in the northwest of Calicia, known as Woodkin, prioritize women over men and often have female leaders. They worship an Earth Goddess. They often live under trees in underground hollows.

Allies

 * Sailor's Port is an island primarily run by Calicia. The native population of Sailor's Port agree to use their island as a place for Calician trade as long as they are given some of the profits. The trade in Sailor's Port is primarily prostitution, although there are also exotic shops for unusual items.
 * Novia is an ally of Calicia, despite its bitter history of the Twenty Years War.
 * Inapis is an ally of Calicia
 * Karruk is an ally of Calicia, which puts Calicia in a bad situation with Ysina, the sworn enemy of Karruk.
 * Volara trades with Calicia but also trades with Ysina, so it must stay neutral.

Enemies

 * Ysina harbors no specific bitterness toward Calicia, but they have been sworn allies with Karruk, and thus they must defend Karruk against Ysina.
 * Because they are allied with Inapis, they are sworn to fight against Paladrey.
 * Volara is not an enemy of Calicia but could become that way if they side with Ysina for any reason.
 * Worsia is the sworn enemy of Calicia.
