===== Local Life and Issues =====


===== Government =====
The small republic of Port Mouth mostly concerns itself with matters of commerce. Diplomatic relationships have been established with other Ender colonies. 

==== Economic policy ====
For private parties, the Republic's official stance is a //laissez-faire// environment. Citizens are free to carry out transactions free from tarrifs, government subsidies, and enforced monopolies, with only enough government regulations sufficient to protect property rights against theft and aggression.

==== Militia ====
Despite its formation by foul mouth pirates and seamen, citizens are encouraged to maintain a bow with sufficient enchantments to discourage attacks from both native archers and undead bandits.
