Hertzog Von Saxony
The Hertzog Von Saxony is Located within the Northernmost reaches of what was once the Holy Roman Empire. The people of the Duchy of Saxony are really a composition of two diverse peoples in terms of economy, but both are united in their strong and loyal roots of a common language and history. Northern Saxony is home to one of the Baltic's largest ports,this is located in the capitol city of Lubeck, which brings its people the lucrative trade opportunity's of the Hanseatic League. Because of this, Lubeck is the "backbone" of the Saxon economy. It is also here that a new social class is emerging. A group of people who are driven by desire to aqquire wealth regardless of their humble origins. This is the beginnings of the middle class in Germany. In the south, predominates the many rural farming community's which are distinctly Saxon. Agriculture has always been a very important economic factor in Southern Saxony. Wheat, potatoes, rye, and oats as well as beef, pork and poultry are some of the staples of these farm community's agricultural products. The south and southwest of Lower Saxony are mainly made up of coarse sandy soil that makes crop farming difficult and therefore grassland and cattle farming are more prevalent in those areas. These hardy people live hand to mouth, living by the belief in "a hard days work! is the highest pride of those loyal to the vaterland!", and have a distrust for the Northerners from Lubeck who seem to be enthralled by a "trance" induced by the sophistication of the mercantilism and "cosmopolitan" lifestyle enjoyed in the north. If Saxony is to thrive in this environment it will take a firm and determined monarch to establish the unification of these two peoples and "meter" a merging & joint Cultural identity which reflects the ideals of both north & south, which "runs deeper" than a common fealty to ancestry.
