The Principality of Aquarius euetheia is a large, environmentally-stunning nation, renowned for its pro-environment policies through which its lush rainforests and sensitive and rare tropical flaura and fauna are preserved, and have attracted of tourists from all around the globe already.
The country is surrounded entirely by water, from which its denizens benefit greatly. Its government, albeit often mistaken for a corrupt dictatorship, is very fond of its people, and takes great care of them through its many projects in Education, Social Welfare and Health and Nutrition.
The people of Aquarius euetheia are generally free-spirited, fun-loving and welcoming people, with open smiles and bright faces. They are often credited for their languid lifestyles, and dedication to the prosperity of Arts and Humanities. They generally have an affinity to the Moon, as a result of a superstitious tradition brought by their pirate ancestors who migrated from the high seas over a millenia ago. The people of this much relaxed nation proudly stand by the national motto: We are advocates of piracy!

Geography
General Topography
Aquarius euetheia’s topography is most notable for its distinct half-moon shape, composed of two solid land masses roughly separated by a relatively narrow strait and formed into curiously mirrored semi-circular arcs; and a rock-formed island resting in the center of the enclosure formed by the greater isles.
The two most notable bodies of water are the Strait of Salamaar, which roughly separates the two greater masses of land, named the Northern Dominion and the Southern Dominion, and the body of water which surrounds the rock-formed island, called the Isle of Ester, and is partially enclosed by the Northern and Southern Dominion, named Great Cerulean Bay.

A brief note on the history of the dominions
The animosity between the ND and the SD reaches far back into the pre-civilization annals of Aquarius euetheia’s history. Ironically, it is those inhabiting the edges of the Strait that are most devoted to the feud. Many of the water-bound clans have spilt their blood on the waters of Salamaar, most notable of which are the clans Illim-Salal, Burgese and Fianola who at one point in time had established the Triad of Fishermen that dominated the aquaculture industry during the late nineteenth century. However, during the First Storm of Clappers, the three aforementioned clans immediately fell from the favor of the new-founded Proctectorate. Afterwards, due to inside treachery and conspiracy, they turned upon one another and finally met in an all-out battle that shook the waters of Salamaar in June of 1913. All but a handful of the clans’ descendants now remain today, and have all but disappeared from the active social and political scene. However, many other fishing clans, especially those native to the banks of the strait, continue the fight, in what is popularly known as the Water Ring Feuds, which the government turns a blind eye on, for the sake of the thriving Fishery and Aquaculture economy.
