Cross Alliance, Forgotten Port.
Located right above the Narrow Sea.
This vast expanse of Golden Waters splits the Western Continent into east and west, and at this junction lies the Cross Alliance. A bit further up marks the approach to the Pedan border.
The political situation of the Cross Alliance is unique; it's an independent city-state not governed by any party. Yet, due to its strategic geographical location, it would be the first to bear the brunt if a world war were to break out.
To contain the crisis of war, even a small port city-state like this was forced into independence by the will of major powers, but its cabinet has limited power, overshadowed by stationed representatives from various countries.
Over time.
The Narrow Sea Convention Organization, led by the Giant Whale Guest, was created to mediate maritime disputes among nations.
The Cross Alliance hosts representatives from various countries to mediate land disputes.
Endless intimidation and negotiation.
