| - No country in the world has changed so much in such a short period of time as Lucrecio. In less than three decades the principality has gone from being a chaotic place, plunged into deep economic and political crisis, to becoming one of the most advanced and prosperous nations of Gaia. All this is due solely to one person: the enigmatic Prince Grayson Hawke. Lucrecio is now the principality with the largest technical advances that exists, which is reflected in all the aspects of its citizen’s life. Their irrigation systems, their medical infrastructure, the architecture of their cities, the newly built fleet of zeppelins… all these elements make it a unique place in Gaia. Not surprisingly, some compare the growth of Lucrecio with Abel’s in its best years of splendor. The nation is warm, with plenty of rivers, green areas and small mountains. It is situated in the center of four of the major powers: the Sacred Holy Empire, the Episcopal States, the Azur Alliance and the Lands of Al-Enneth. This strategic position is unmatched, since it allows it to use its neutrality to avoid any conflict that may affect them fully because, if one group attacked Lucrecio, they could just ally with any one of the others. Moreover, while their armies are not too numerous, thanks to the Wissenschaft organization the principality controls the greatest network of spies and influence in the world, granting Grayson a power equivalent (sometimes, even greater) than any other authority in Gaia. The inhabitants of the region live in a wealthy environment, making them completely ignore outside events. Ranching, agriculture and the manufacturing are very prosperous, but its people are not obsessed with increasing productivity as in Gabriel. In addition, all walkways connecting their cities are paved, allowing high-speed travel among them. The governing laws are the same for everyone and people have a high sense of honor and duty, feeling proud to live where they do. Grayson has absolute superiority over the country. Since his arrival, he has replaced all the nobility by personally chosen individuals that follow each one of his directions and plans to the letter. So far, nobody knows exactly what the last descendant of Aeolus Hawke intends to do, because neither has he declared independence from Abel nor sworn allegiance to the new throne or the Azur Alliance. Whether Lucrecio can conserve its apparent neutrality or not is something that remains to be seen in the future.
