	Abruzzo is less a unified country than it is a loose grouping of smaller states who share similar culture and values. Abruzzo is made of eight states comprised of their primary city and a swath of the surrounding countryside and smaller towns. Each city is officially run by a ruling council of representatives the wealthiest families of the city, but realistically there is a single family who is truly in charge of the operations of the city. The other families continually vie for power either by offering their loyalty to the ruling family, or by trying to undermine their power, or, quite commonly, both. The states frequently engage in infighting, though their armies are primarily comprised of large mercenary companies with little vested interest in the battles. The result is that most "battles" comprise the two companies meeting in the field, and essentially deciding which is stronger and would win the battle, and the weaker army surrendering to be bought back by the house that sent them. There is usually very little damage done to either company, and very rarely loss of life. Most of the infighting between states is this sort of posturing, and flaunting of their wealth, though some "battles" do result in the exchange of land as part of the purchase of their armies back.
