The region's residents were in a constant change, as the rivers that existed there had vast fertility.

Despite this connection with the nation of Durbinia, they were still seen as rivals by the Anter's who claimed words of glory and arrogance in comparison to the southern neighbours, and as Lucero quickly became a cultural centre of the region, and started to rival the Durbinian Cities, in both technology and trade, the rivalry was now recognized by both sides. |

With the consolidation also came various problems, as the neighbouring city-states of Lorenta and Manora began to deny the establishment of the Anternian Republic. This led to the creation of the Anternian army as a way to not only defend but also conquer these city-states. The Anternian army was divided in divisions, which were divided by class and wealth, with few exceptions existing, this army was based on annual levy. Usually the infantry ranks were filled by the lower classes, while the others such as cavalry were left out to the nobles and higher classes, because they could afford to maintain their higher equipment expenses. The commanding position in the army, was given to the Armers, which controlled and strictly regulated the army in order to make the republic survive. At the moment Anternia only had 4 divisions, each being numbered from 1 to 4. The first division is composed by the elite of the elite, only the most prestigious men in the army and the republic could achieve this, while in the fourth division most would be plebeians. Any man from 16-45, could be selected to join the army and assigned to this division |

As sudden as rivalry was sparked between the Anter Nations, as sudden the invasion of Manora and Lorenta was, in a bloody war, it made evident the various problems, internal or external that the republic had, and with it suffering high losses, despite the annexation of the city-states. As expansion had continued, the Republic continued to suffer of such problems, and so many solutions were devised and applied, such as the vast and complicated system of Roads. |
||
The Senate had ordered for the continuation of the various roads into their empires, this way facilitating the maintenance and development of the republic by providing efficient means for the overland movement of armies, produce, civilians and much more. Usually military stations would be also connected, facilitating transport of the troops in case of a extreme emergency. The roads were paved with stone and flanked with footpaths and conducted over rivers and ravines with bridges also being able to support themselves in marsh and swamp. |

The negative relations had until now were simply a result of overconfidence by the senate, and Ruiu knew this perfectly well, resorting to not act confident but rather act like they're equal to every state, calling it a "necessary lie". Many of the members were disgusted at this, and saw it as "Cooperating with Barbarians".

The man chosen for this job was Fernando Maior, one who appealed against the ideas of "The War Basket", saying that we shouldn't put all our eggs into war, and rather invest in the other factors of our state, in this case, the merchants and trade.

Despite all of the talks, Fernando didn't much for Anternia, but rather sat quietly and invested in various road projects, despite this, he's still seen as formidable with the defence from the Azderyian Raids, a vast amount of raids made by the desert northerners who threatened to finish the Anternian way of life, and the conquering of the Northern Port, a series of Durbinian land in the Anternian coast. |

Stability doesn't last forever however.
