The Commercial Republic is the most prosperous trade center among the four nations and serves as the most critical "hub for espionage" between them. Due to its unique geographic position, it has become a place where various forces trade, negotiate, and struggle. Maritime merchants, pirates, and intelligence organizations permeate the entire island.

The country has no monarch in the traditional sense; instead, it is managed by the "Chamber of Commerce Parliament."

They prioritize commercial interests and maintain neutrality with all nations while secretly manipulating many major events.
