Nine Headed Dragon Archipelago Union

The Nine-Headed Dragon Archipelago Union is a collection of islands that is one of two nations that is not physically connected to the main continent of Landia.

Location
The Nine-Headed Dragon Archipelago Union is a group of islands located off the southeastern coast of the Kingdom of Freidonia.

History
The Nine-Headed Dragon Archipelago Union was once the home of the Sea Serpent race, but due to a civil war hundreds of years ago, Excel Walter's people were driven out and caused them to become pirates, eventually leading to the founding of Lagoon City, 500 years before the summoning of Kazuya Souma. It is said that each island is ruled separately, but all swear allegiance to the Nine-Headed Dragon King. Incidentally, due to being a maritime state, most if not all of its citizens come from fishing villages and such and speak with a seafaring slang. One of the stars of the Lorelei Project, Nanna Kamizuki, is actually an immigrant from the Archipelago.

Currently, the Union is in conflict with the Freidonia over fishing rights as ships from the Archipelago are invading the waters near Freidonia's coastline.

Economy
As a maritime state, most of the Archipelago's economy depends on fishing and maritime trade. They are considered as the world's best shipbuilders and have been able to tame sea creatures other than Sea Dragons to haul their boats. Due to being lighter and faster, their ships can easily outrun most military vessels. They also possess the techniques to forge blades similar to that of the Japanese Katana and are exceedingly sharp.
