Vaspania
Aristocratic horses have ruled Vaspania for as long as this country has been on the maps. Though highly defensive of their own soil, the Vaspanian government has taken a more passive stance on world politics and international trade.
When their neighbors, the Weslayans, declared themselves an empire, the royal families of Vaspania chose to cooperate with the humans. At least outwardly. While yielding to Weslayan authority in the seas, the Vaspanian government bolstered its military and trained specialized foot soldiers.
With a formidable, defensive army, Vaspania quietly repelled any covert attempt by foreign powers to gain a strategic foothold against the Vaspanian people.
While peaceful, this is a predominately military-organized country – ruled by a family of warrior equines. Laws are strictly (and sometimes brutally) enforced, but citizens life quality is protected by a highly organized bureaucracy.
Corbin was born in Vaspania to a lower-class serf family that worked on the Espinosa Vineyard near the western border.
This is also the country in which the horses of Five Hourse Stout were born, though they reside in Lancemyth.
