Settlements & Cities
- Sky Province
- Hermes
- Hera
- Sea Province
- Poseidon
- The Ares (The Phobos and the Deimos as one unit)
- Land Province
- Artemis
- Olympian Territories of Minos
Economy
Hermes has a large trading center and a bank. Traders and Merchants from all over the Shire go here to sell their things and buy local goods, like wine, grain and fish. Olympia uses the Drachmae and it's subdivisions. It's presence in world trade is growing rapidly with deals with Augusta Traianea and Arbemaisonnes.
Nature
Olympia's nature is known for mostly the Olympian Olive Tree, a very common tree in all of Olympia, and also fairly popular in other areas, like Arbemaisonnes, where Zal's Tree Collection has two Olive Trees. On Minos, you can also find the Olympian Spruce, which is a small tree very common in the Warzone Archipelago, where Minos is located.
The Natives & Culture
The natives are the Olympians. They look a lot like humans, but they have wings and are generally a bit taller than humans. Their wings can be used to hover like a hummingbird or fly like other birds, some of the fastest flyers can reach speeds up to 185 mph, that's almost a fast as the fastest bird on earth
The Olympians speak Greek with various accents across the world. The city of Poseidon has a very unique dialect sounding like Tahitian while using words from Olympian.
The cities of Olympia are all named after the 12 Olympian gods to honour them. It appears to be the case that the cities that worshipped their gods more have prospered rather than those that did not, as was the case with Hades.
Government
Each city has a council of 7 members of various social standing and wealth and the High Priest of the god the city is named after.
Olympia as a whole is ruled by both a monarchy and an Archon that is elected every 12 years, and can be re-elected forever. The candidates are the 12 High Priests and are elected by parliament, as soon as one gets elected a new High Priest gets selected by the clergy of the city. The current rulers are: King Efimia and High Priestess of Hephaestus, Archon Xanthippe.
Technology
Olympia is well known for it's massive mechanisms made of steel and wood, one inventor in Hephaestus appears to be onto something to control the power of steam.
