The Stellar Archipelago of Free Syllvin, most commonly referred to as Free Syllvin, is an island nation that enjoys a high standard of living and a comfortable tropical climate. Comprised of 12 large islands and 29 smaller isles and atolls arranged in a crude rectangle, it covers a territory roughly 85,000 square kilometers. While also laying claim to some 237 other small landmasses in the area, Free Syllvin only maintains a passing presence on them due to their usage as resource mines or military posts. Most of the population lives in either the cities on the larger islands, or the Gear, a series of man-made islands that surrounds the nation. The largest island, Valandar, has almost a third of its landmass covered by the capitol city of Syllvan Center.
The ecosystems of Free Syllvin are widely diverse, with the most-common being tropical rainforest and the second most-common tropical savanna. Several of the larger islands have grasslands and tropical deserts covering their interiors behind mountains. Salt marshes and mangrove swamps form the outer regions of most populated landmasses. The archipelago hosts a wide assortment of coral reefs and cays as well. The highest point is Cormin Peak, 712 meters above sea level, with an average height of 34 meters above sea level.
Free Syllvin is a traditional nautical power, boasting a rich history of pre-industrial societies. The sight of fishermen and pearl divers hailing from the ancestral home of the Syllvanians was a common sight in the island chains. The first society to arise in the area were the Ado people, a skilled group of industrial inventors who pioneered many things for their local archipelago, including the sail. They were wiped out by the cannibalistic Gynn, who were in turn wiped out in a tidal wave. The foundations for what would become Syllvin Center were laid by what is known as the Kwun people in 800 CE.
First coming into its own as a proper nation state at around 1650 CE, the modern Free Syllvin is a leader in law enforcement, public transport, and defense. Its income per capita is consistent within 30,000 E-dollars of the highest and lowest levels of society thanks to extremely tight income tax on the top 10%. Private corporations are effectually illegal, with company boards being populated by officials from an associated committee in the Syllvanian assembly. The nation's primary exports are military equipment, technology, and seacraft.
