Shixphix
Shixphix is a republic. Shixphix is located north of Ithica on the Greek pennisula between the sea and the foothills of mountains. It trades in wool, olives and iron. The people of Shixphix wear tunics made of wool.
As a city, Shixphix is pretty well prepared. It has a market, three granaries, nine wells, barracks, a temple to Demeter and Ares, a port, an ampitheatre, and a fort. There is a creek running through the city for two reasons: one, to provide fresh water and two, to run a mill.
The navy of Shixphix hosts eight score of quinquereme (5 rows of oars) or 180 ships. Its army is designed after the Spartan army and their equipment is a helmet, a breastplate, a cape, a kilt, a sword, a shield and a spear. The calvary’s armor is the exact same, but there is armor for the horse.
For entertainment, the people of Shixphix throw spears at a target like archery. Festivals are held for the olive harvest and the Spring shearing of the sheep.
