The people of Karmoy revere free enterprise above all else. In some cases they would view outright piracy as an acceptable element of the free market, although only when they are doing it to someone else. For this reason they have a rather poor reputation; it is generally observed that you should count your fingers after shaking hands with them.
War is not usually seen as a profitable enterprise so they tend not to indulge in large-scale hostilities. However, this does not stop them from raiding other nations and stealing anything that is not nailed down. The Karmoyan army is highly-trained but small. While more than adequate for defending the small number of islands that constitute Karmoy, it is geared towards guerrilla tactics more than open warfare.
Armed Forces
The Karmoyan army uses the Star Army reaction tables.
All infantry wear Hard Armour.
