| - Old Ginbar is a state in the nation of the Republic of Endralon. The nation's capital, Republica, is in this state. The other notable cities are: Minutate. Old Ginbar is the westmost state of the Republic of Endralon, and the historical centre of Endralonian administration (however, the states of Hugalon and Zergon are considered to be the heartlands of Endralonian Unity. Old Ginbar' had been unpopulated until the late Medieval times, when arious groups of pirates and adventurers settled on the pleasant and deserted coasts of the wilderness. Commercial traffic grew and the prosperous and fertile valleys and the endless forests of the highest quality lumber for shipbuilding and construction - lying behind the coastal line of the bright white cliffs of Old Ginbar Mountains - began to attract immigrants from all around the region, but especially from the neighbouring Endralonian Empire, a feudal, isolationist monarchy ruling the lands now known as Hugalon and Zergon, and the Duchy of Efineya, a minor monarchy ruled by a dynasty offspring to the Endralonian imperial family. Old Ginbar is a classic melting pot, home to a special kind of freedom loving, occasionally carefre, yet industrious city folk. The fact that this once barely populated state now boast nearly 45 million people of every colour, language and religion of Terra is the triumph of the unique character of Ginbarian society often described in the Endralonian jokes as having a finger in every pie. The delicate network of commercial, familiar and social relations combined with a carefree, sometimes even ignorant character transformed the folks of the sweet valleys, the wild mountains and the thousands and thousands of neat little villages into a colourful yet unmistakenably unique culture. Facts: Area: 96,300 km²
