History
Ancient Salisford
Paleolithic-era artifacts have been recovered from the Salisfordian Mountain Range, making them the oldest evidence of hominid habitation in the region. Other artifacts found have shown there was a Neanderthal presence in the region as well. The earliest evidence of modern human habitation in Salisford was discovered in the Western Highlands, in the Northern Peak.
The Bronze Age Collapse
The Savattans were a powerful kingdom who was able to unite most of modern Salisford. They were militarily, culturally, and economically powerful and was a contender for the most dominant power in Norther Sud and Southern Ecros. However, some time during the Bronze Age, the Savattan kingdom fell. Much is unknown about how it fell, as most historical sources discussing it has been lost to time. But, the leading theory is a wave of natural disasters and, simultaneously, raids from a powerful tribe in Ecros led to the erosion and eventual downfall of the Savattan state. The Savattans later reverted to a tribal system of governance.
Tribal Salisford
After the Bronze age collapse, the land that is now Salisford was dominated by various Tribes. The Savattans, the Altopianans, the Montagnans, and the Fattorians were the four largest. There were additionally several smaller tribes which dotted the lands not controlled by these four large tribes. These tribes would fight over land, however, none would ultimately gain an upper hand over the other.

Government
Overview
Salisford is a monarchy, headed by a autocratic monarch who rules through decree. Despite the monarch's absolute authority, he has little power. Relying on a bureaucracy of local lords, administrators, and vassal relationships to effect his decrees. The monarchy itself is dedicated to the idea of subsidiarity, with most problems being dealt with on the local level, only moving to higher powers when local powers are unable to deal with the problem effectively.

Geography
Salisford is divided into a number of provinces which are governed by a royally-apointed governor. The coast of Salisford is rocky with high cliffs, however, parts of the coast are lower in elevation and have sandy picture-esque beaches. The interior of Salisford is flat and temperate. The majority of Salisford's population lives in the central plain, however, there are large population centers on the Western Highlands.
Economy
The Salisfordian economy is industrialized and strong economic bases in the fields of manufacturing, engineering, and tourism. However, a large part of the Salisfordian economy is also based in agriculture. Notable Salisfordian corporations include the Royal Salisfordian Arsenal, Beretta, and Piaggio Aerospace.
Salisford's agricultural base is centered around smaller family farms, which have been distributed by royal decree from large estates previously owned by the landed aristocracy.
Salisford is a major exporter of grains, fruits, and vegetables. Most notably: wheat, barley, olives, tomatoes, and garlic.
Military
The Salisfordian military is made up of a core base of volunteers, who make up specialist detachments, the officer corps, and a small standing force. This volunteer force is supplemented by conscripts. Salisfordian males are conscripted into government service after graduation from secondary school. This can be in a civilian service corps for a period of 4 years, or in military service for a period of 2 years.
Salisfordian Air Force
Due to the highly technical nature of the Salisfordian Air Force, the majority of the branch is formed of volunteer career soldiers, and conscripts are only taken in for non-technical jobs, such as Security Forces, Administratives Officers, etc.
Salisfordian Pilot Training is restricted to volunteers.[1]
Demographics
Salisford is made up of a majority of Salisfordians. Due to strict citizenship laws, there is a limited amount of non-Salisfordians who are Salisfordian citizens. However, there is a somewhat-sizable number of non-citizen residents who work and live in Salisford.
