Fentyr
Fentyr is a political dieselpunk fantasy world. It consists of twelve competing city-states locked in a cold war.

Politics
"The twelve cities have stood for as long as history can remember. If only the future was so solid." - Dubaku Okwabi, Yookoomazoo historian.

There are twelve powerful city-states in the world of Fentyr, each roughly equal to the last in terms of military, economic, political, or cultural power. These cities have formed four competing alliances, named after ancient philosophers.

The Woodruff Compact
The Woodruff Compact is the oldest alliance in Fentyr, signed as a military alliance of mutual protectionism. The Compact features states in which the government acts as both an economic guide and a moral guardian to it's people. Until recently it was the strongest alliance as well, but the passing of Yookoomazoo's dragon tyrant and the legitimization of The Flores revolution in Olmexa has weakened it significantly. Current member states include Luccacio, Hellewasser, and Toso.

Luccacio
Luccacio is well known in Fentyr for it's powerful military and war-like government led by priests of The Beast. The military and it's government are inseparable in Luccacio, with the war-priests being a hybrid between priests and generals. The church leads the military, with officer schools also teaching religious doctrine. The most remarkable feature of the city is The Leviathan. The Leviathan was a seraph to the beast, and his greatest general, until it failed to lay siege to Toso. The Beast paralyzed the creature, and had his followers trap it and butcher it until it gained the strength to free itself. They hold it in the coastal waters which flows red with it's blood.

The Easterly League
The Easterly League is the second oldest alliance in Fentyr, which split off from The Woodruff Compact for economic reasons. While Easterly League enforces social cohesion and tradition as a means toward national identity, they have a very laissez-faire attitude toward private control of the economy. The Easterly League's current members include Russel Cave, Saint Genevieve, and Knockany.

The Gilliam Bloc
The Gilliam Bloc is the third oldest alliance in Fentyr, signed mainly for ideological reasons as a reaction to The Easterly League and Woodruff Compact. The Gilliam Bloc sees private ownership of the economy as inherently exploitative, and so the government is heavily involved in the economy. Gilliam Bloc states tend to emphasize personal rights, or at least be indifferent towards them. Members include Zevko, Dubwana, and Olmexa via it's revolution.

The Purkins Federation
The Purkins Federation is a collaboration of outsiders, formed more of necessity for the desire of survival. The Purkins Federation is defined by it's members lack of centralized government, and it's focus on personal freedom. The Purkins Federation recently has been jettisoned to international prominence, after Mu was rediscovered and Yookoomazoo's Dragon Tyrant died in the same decade.
