Orientation Conquest Active Isolation Value 8
Aspects Acquisition (Wealth) Zur is isolated from neighboring societies by expanses of wilderness, hills, and mountains.  Although Zur can be reached by sea, the threat of Corsair attack discourages most travellers.
Revolution (Social)
Technology Value 14 Interaction Value 12
Areas of Emphasis Shipbuilding, limited applications of military technology. Despite its isolation, Zur is home to exiles and outcastes from many cultures and heritage groups.  Continued smuggling, banditry, and piracy of surrounding societies make up the bulk of interaction, although some legal trade takes place.

 Zur has some internal resources, although most are not exploited even halfway to their potential.  Zur relies on captured cargo and smuggled trade goods for most of its resources.  "Prices" for most luxuries are lower than normal, while food and drink bring premium prices.
Zurian Corsairs are accomplished at naval combat, although they lack experience with large fleet actions.  Similarly, Zurian brigands are adept at ambushes and small unit actions in hilly terrain, but are incapable of large formation battles or synchronized movement.
Supplementary Forces Exploitation 9 45%
Most residents of Zur would be hostile to any invading force, and insurgent actions would be a constant hazard to the invading army. Zur exploits its ability to steal, swindle, or otherwise obtain goods from surrounding societies.  Its own resources lie mostly dormant, although an occasional active effort is made to mine easily-reached deposits of precious metals.  Zur utilizes timber and stone resources in building.
Relations 2 Trade 7
Zur has openly "hostile" relations with Daenj, Jyvelik, and Merochas.   Zur survives mainly due to a lack of real desire by Merochas to take active control of the area.  All three societies employ spies, hunters, and agents provocateur among the residents of Zur. Zur conducts little legitimate trade, although extensive smuggling efforts into Daenj and Jyvelik bring trade goods from those societies.

Diversity 19 Diversity 19
As with the other humanities, the arts are quite diverse in Zur, when they can be found (which is rarely). Magic is likewise diverse, and is prevalent enough to be commonly accepted, at least tacitly, in all its forms.  Mana use is slightly dominant, mostly due to its prevalence in surrounding cultures, and its utility in enchantment.

No official taxation exists.  Whatever an individual or group can hold onto, they can keep. Slavery is not an actual institution in Zur, although many specific instances of slavery exist.  The society as a whole will not enforce slavery, but neither will most oppose its practice in general.
