|
|
I'm playing Suikoden V again and being going over the details ruthlessly, and I came on an interesting quote from someone in Estrise early in the game. There was a random citizen who said she wanted to see the Island Nations Federation AND the Kingdom of Obel. Is that the way the government there works, or was there some sort of rift between Obel and INF that happened somewhere in the gap between the games? _________________

I remember something like that, I thought they meant they wanted to go to the Island Nations and visit the "capital" Obel, may just be another translation error? _________________ "In the rain, I'm calling you dear, find my way, can't you see me standing right here" ~ I.V - X Japan

The Island Nations Federation is more of a military alliance than a country from what I can tell. |

A federation is typically a loose union of autonomous or semi-autonomous states that have some sort of council or ruling body at the top to keep the federation together.
In the case of the Island Nations Federation, you have a bunch of nations within (hence, "Island Nations") which are members of the Obel Maritime Council. The Kingdom of Obel is one of the members of the council (and thus the Federation). |

The Island Nations Federation is a pretty loose federation. They share only the same military and foreign policy. But in terms of domestic policy, the islands are close to an independent country. |
