The Commonwealth of Free Industry

The Commonwealth of Free Industry
The Commonwealth of Free Industry is a thriving nation on the Southern Continent that prides itself on its economic success. It's people are primarily American. Recently, the nation has begun to pull out of the international eye by imposing a media blackout and closed border policy.

History of Free Industry
When the Ansari Empire began to fall, there was a settlement of relatively weak people that capitalized on their downfall. These people would sell weapons to both sides of the Ansari Civil wars, and this lead the nation to becoming a prosperous trade outpost in the region. As such, the most powerful merchants decided to name the settlement Beacon of Prosperity to commemorate their trade success.

Over time, Free Industry would establish a religion that centered around trade and the free market. This religion believes that the will of the market is the will of a higher being. Thus, the fledgling nation would try and keep the market as free as possible while also making sure they were the dominant market.

With the invasion of the South by Elysia, Free Industry returned to old habits and sold arms to both sides while remaining as neutral as possible in the conflict. Once it was clear that Elysia would defeat the Southern Coalition, Free Industry joined them to avoid destruction, and developed the first Dinosaur combat units in the process.

Before long Free Industry went dark and has not been heard from in a while. Their land is inhospitable and their cities appear abandoned. Bright lights and objects being launched into space have been seen inside their borders.

Other than the appearance of Giants in the Ansari wastes and the following skirmish on the Kaltavos border(where they arrived from underground tunnels created by giant worm-like monsters), the only contact that has been established is in the New World. Their settlement of Nassau appears to be quite small on the surface, but there are rumors that it is much larger than people think.
