Nargunal

Another small island in the Empire, Nargunal is home to a number of tribes of human, orc/half-orc, and wood gnomes that are very primitive. These barbaric peoples live in small tribes that often prey on each other. The Empire allows them to live like this in exchange for a five year commitment of volunteers to join the Imperial Marines. Known throughout the world for their courage and ferocity. After five years of service the conscripts are free to go their own way. After experiencing the wonders of the Empire few return to Nargunal. Those that do typically get employed by the Empire to work as trainers for potential recruits. The natives are also well versed in small boat use both rowed and sailing. Fishing, gathering aquatic plants and battling threats from the nearby waters are all common to the tribes. The Empire maintains a small walled encampment on the island. Staff are trained in not interfering with the natives way of life beyond the Quarterly recruiting/conscripting activities. In exchange certain goods are provided to the natives from the Empire. There is no central government on the island. the closest thing to it is the quarterly gatherings to send off their youths to service. These meeting are carefully choreographed to keep things largely the same on the island.'''

Of note, the representative to the lower house of government from Nargunal is always a former marine. Most commonly one who sought education after his or her military service.
