Welcome to the home page of the Territory of Bicardia (map), one of the founding provinces of the Republic of Mylantium.
History
Bicardia was established as a crown colony of the Austrolusian Empire in 1817 and gained Dominion status in 1896. The Territory was granted independence after the Revolution of 1925 and in 1981 formed the Mylantine Union with the neighboring Republic of Avalon. That union was reorganized as the Federal Republic of Mylantium in 2004.
Cities
The territorial capital of Brockleborough is also the federal capital. The two largest cities are Brockleborough (with its major port) and Flaggeburg.
Trade
Bicardia is the world's leading supplier of thumbtacks and duck down, most of which is carried on its own ships from the ports of Brockleborough and Dizzi. Corn and rendered pig fat are supplied by the interior villages of Luden, Nardle City, Penhaligon and Ryle. The government is currently studying plans to add major port facilities to the coastal villages of Stopover and Littlewood.
Cultural Life
The Great Snake Pyramid of Brockleborough is the cultural mecca of Bicardia, and the Snake Handler Cult is a major presence in the territory, also having a temple in Stopover.
