Maritime Republic of Hansa

Summary
The Isle of Hansa is a small aritificial island along imsouthern of the Osterium Sea, southwest of Myrtana and Dubris; and off the northern coast of Rohel in Sparwood. It is a Barony within the Fjarldom of Aatyeli and is ruled by Baron Henry Chamberlain. It has a small population of between 6-11 residents and an economy that consists of mostly agriculture, mining as well as a domestic alcohol and beverages industry.

History
The original date of it's settlement is unknown, but the Isle historically has been claimed by the old Escharian Empire's trade companies before its collapse in January of 2021. On December 19th, 2021, the since long abandoned island was discovered by Henry Chamberlain, who claimed and resettled the island under the now defunct Kingdom of Dubris the same day. The then King Dampswamp of Dubris appointed Henry as the governor and Baron of the island which Henry subsequently named Hansa, as there is no name known to have previously existed. The political status of the island however is unclear as it was not actually annexed by Lunaris in the Dubrian Crisis that lead to the subjugation of Dubris by the Kingdom of Lunaris. On December 26, 2021; the disputed Isle of Hansa had it's legal status reaffirmed as part of the Fjarldom of Aatyeli, of which Henry Chamberlain became it's vassal and was granted the title of Baron and given official rule of Isle. The Isle remains under the rule of Henry Chamberlain to this day. Since Henry's official reign over the island, it has been developed and grown significantly with the addition of infrastructure, buildings, housing and domestic industries and a steady increase in population

Economy
The economy of Hansa according to it's lord Henry Chamberlain consists almost entirely of mining and agriculture produce. Hansa has access to a large underground deep-sea mining complex that produces mostly stone and iron as well as the occassional gold, diamonds and other such rare earth materials. It's agricultural production consists entirely of sugarcane, wheat products such as bread and some animal produce (wool and eggs), although it is planned to expand into pumpkin farming; as well as the development of a domestic beverage industry of mostly beer, wine,, vodka, whiskey, rum and coffee; all of which are made via natively grown produce. These beverages are usually exported to foreign markets to direct buyers or sold at the Hanseatic Theatre & Tavern, a state-enterprise owned by the Baron.
