The south-east of the county is generally fertile, while rocky forests cover the western half. In the north-east, large oil fields can be found. <br /> <br /> Amarr is divided into eight patriciates named after their capital cities ([[Fatehpur Sikri]] (Fatepurra Siccre), Copurra, Dempurra, Ajapurra, Malarboria, Bambaccja and Gjardinolma and Fort Lakesia (Porto Lachesia)), each headed by a Lord Patrician (Sinjore Patrizio).<br /> <br /> Oil is important to the economy but does not dominate it totally. One third of the work-force is in the industry and almost half of the workforce works with services while the rest are in agriculture, forestry or fisheries. Commerce is generally free, and education and schools are funded by religious congregations.<br /> <br /> Amarr houses a diverse population divided in four estates (nobility, clergy, burgers and farmers) and in the estate-less underclass and the estateless expatriate community (freemen). The estates are represented in the States of Amarr (parliament), elected every four years. The estate-less underclass is not represented in the legislature.<br /> <br /> Freemen: 5 %, <br /> Estateless underclass: 45%, <br /> Farmers (landowners): 10%,<br /> Burgers (urban): 30%,<br /> Clergy: 5%,<br /> Nobility: 5%,<br /> <br /> Among the underclass, a form of Lakesian is spoken monolingually by the most. The farmers (landowners) generally speak Passikaans, the nobility and burgers speak Cisamarrese (closely related to Tellian), and the clergy speak the dominant tongue of their religion (For example, Cedrist clergy uses Praeta and the Jewish community speak a form of Hebrew).<br /> <br /> In education, Cisamarrese and Praeta are near-universally used, making most estates literate and fluent in these languages. Among the estates, a harmonious consensus on government and its structure has formed but the underclass is never represented. <br /> <br /> The underclass works in the industry, agriculture, doing the &quot;dirt work&quot;. <br /> <br /> ==A Map Of Amarr==<br /> [[Image:Amarr Map1.jpg|400px]]<br /> <br /> [[category:counties]]<br /> [[category:brookshire]]</div>

<p>Malliki: /* Arbiters of the Imperial Judex: */</p> <hr /> <div>The '''Imperial Judex of the Republic of Shireroth''' is the judiciary of the country, and sits at the apex of the [[Judex System]], which also includes the judicial functions of the Houses and the [[Kaiser]].<br /> <br /> While each House may handle its own judicial affairs, appeals may be made to the Imperial Judex. For issues arising involving multiple Houses, a conflict between a House or Houses and the Imperial Government, or for cases on the Imperial level, the Imperial Judex is the court of first instance.<br /> <br /> Additionally, the Arbiter of the Imperial Judex has power to veto amendments to the Charter. Before the appointment of Hypatia Agnesi, the position of &quot;arbiter&quot; was referred to as &quot;provost&quot;.<br /> <br /> == Cases of the Imperial Judex ==<br /> <br /> ''[[Elwynn v Imperial Cartographer]]'' (IJ-2317-T1-A) &lt;br&gt;<br /> ''[[IR v Augustus]]'' (IJ-2391-C1-A/IJ-2391-C1-B)&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''[[Loki v Hasan I]]'' (IJ-3186-O1-A)&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''[[Loki v Windsor]]'' (IJ-3240-T1-A)&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''[[IR v Heimer]]'' (IJ-3276-C1-A)&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''[[Rahikkala v Landsraad]]'' (IJ-3415-T1-A)&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''[[Loki v Windsor (2)]]'' (IJ-3431-T1-A)&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''[[Miller v IR et al]]'' (IJ-3938-T1-A)&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> == Cases before the Kaiser ==<br /> <br /> ''[[IR v Locke et al]]'' (K-982-C1-A/K-982-C1-B)<br /> <br /> == Arbiters of the Imperial Judex: ==<br /> <br /> <br /> Falling into disuse due to the ravages of time, the office was renewed when [[Loki II]] restored the [[Charter]].

[[Erik Mortis]] held the office for a long time before finally handing it over to the Assistant Arbiter at the time, [[Malliki Tosha]]. After his resignation, [[Kaiseress Anandja I]] appointed [[Benkern|Bacchus]] to the position.

<p>Malliki: /* Kaisers of the Fourth Era */</p> <hr /> <div>The following is a list of [[Kaiser]]s of [[Shireroth]] in chronologial order, from the legendary beginnings of Shireroth until the present; the calendar used is the [[ASC]] reckoning. <br /> Where known, each Kaiser has listed after zir in parentheses the [[Imperial Bloodline]] to which<br /> they belonged. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Kaisers of Shireroth==<br /> <br /> '''Bold''' text is used to denote a ruling [[Steward]];&lt;br&gt;<br /> ''italics'' are used to denote a Kaiseress.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> A period without either a Kaiser or a Steward is marked by &quot;(Landsraad)&quot;, as the [[Landsraad]] was by that point the highest remaining governing body.<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Many of the Kaisers in this list are [[Fictional History|fictional]]; Shireroth's true founding was in 262 ASC (the beginning of the [[Third Era]]). &lt;br&gt;<br /> The institution of the [[Kaisership]] occurred later, in approximately 501, with Erik Mortis becoming [[Kaiser Metzler I]]. The first historically accurate ascension date is presumably that of [[Kaiser Gaelen II]] in 919, and all dates after that are taken to be authentic.<br /> Keep in mind that if you point this out in a fictional-history context, however, [[SSHIT]] will come for you in the dead of night.<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> === Kaisers of the First Era ===<br /> *[[Kaiser Raynor I|Raynor I]]: b2395 -

The heirs of this line wield the legendary [[Sword of Mortis]], forged by the line's progenitor in b2323. The Sword of Mortis has never left the bloodline.<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> By about 1771 most members of the Line of Mortis had migrated to the Isle of [[County of Benacia]], where they took up a number of elements of the local culture, including a ceremonial use of the [[Benacian language]].<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> In 1978 the first Mortis [[Kaiser]] of this tradition came to the throne as [[Kaiser Mors IV]], who began the tradition of Kaiserial epithets, naming himself Nerrolar, the Arbiter. &lt;br&gt;<br /> Ever since the Mortis settled on the isle of Benacia the Count has traditionally been from the Mortis family line.<br /> [[category:fiction]]<br /> [[category:history]]<br /> [[category:culture]]</div>
