Capital: Blueside (population 15,000). Area: 244,677. Population: 150,000. Language: Alphatian. Coinage: Alphatian Standard. Taxes: Lagrius imposes the standard income tax of 15% on everyone of servant status or higher and an import tax of 1% (this tax only concerns goods coming from outside the Confederacy and does not concern goods from Karameikos due to a trade agreement between that nation and the Confederacy). 10% goes to the Imperial Treasury. Government type: Semiautonomous monarchy owing loyalty to the New Alphatian Confederated Empire since Kaldmont 13, AC 1012. Industries, Description, Notable Sites, History, Flora and Fauna: See the PWAs. Important Figures: Elenista (Queen of Lagrius), Siaron Lagrius (Former Queen of Lagrius), Alanim (General). Updates for the years 1013 and 1014 AC: Although she could have managed to regain her throne since the creation of the NACE, Siaron Lagrius preferred to remain active behind-the-scene and let her friend officially rule Lagrius. She has taken the charge of Representant of Lagrius on Ionace and the other Council members and Representants know she holds as much power as the actual queen and that decisions she makes will be approved by Elenista. In effect, the kingdom is ruled by two persons at the same time; this has never been a problem so far since both women are good friends and trust each other and act for the best of their country and the Confederacy.
