The Collected Communities

A nation of peaceful people. Characterised by little to no governance, no urban areas, and no military presence whatsoever, the Collected Communities is a island nation of farmers and craftsmen. People take as they need from the store houses dotted around, and give as is needed in return. Even with no government, disputes are rare. There is no currency, no banking system, no market. In many regards, it is a culture of plenty. There is enough food, there are enough resources, there is little poverty. While it is peaceful within itself, it is a highly agoraphobic and xenophobic nation. Outsiders are rarely tolerated for they often bring strife and confusion into their simple society.

History
History is recorded in terms of years ago (I.A. "iam ante" - "before now"). For example, 200 I.A. was 200 years ago.

Elvish Empire (~4000 I.A.)
In the time of the elves, the island was used for much the same purpose: but by a a class of slaves. The elves had long used slave labour to accomplish their great feats, especially taking advantage of the weak wills of the younger races. An enclave of humans and orcs were kept on the island to work the land, providing food for the capital. The slaves were not unhappy about this state of affairs. As long as they worked their fair share, they were looked after their entire lives.
