Akrotiri

Akrotiri is a an island nation in the central Aegean. Having few natural resources trade has always been vital and today Akrotiri is a hub of eastern Mediterranean banking and finance.

The people nominally rule themselves but a monarch has the only real executive power.

The people although Aegean are not exactly Greek or Turkish. After a pyrric naval victory in the area around the end of the second millenium B.C. a Hittite King called Suppiluliuma settled eleven tribes here including fourteen hundred maidens from the temples. He reportedly stayed for a short while to produce an heir and taking volunteers headed for Anatolia and his death. The natives are descended from this stock.
