Rashemen

Rashemen is a Magocratic gynarchy in the far north east of Faerûn. The northern part of the country is barren and wreaked by strong, harsh winds while the south is cool but not nearly as bad. Surrounded by mountains and huge lakes and rivers, the built up area of Rashemen is highly defensible, though those northern region are attacked by Nar Barbarians and monsters quite frequently.

The Nominal ruler of Rashemen is the Huhrong or "Iron Lord", currently Volas Dyervolk he rules in the best interests of Rashemen. The real power however, lies with the Wychlaran. They pick the Iron Lord and can change him whenever they feel it necessary. At a local level each town, village, etc. is ruled over by a fyrra who only actually controls the armed forces under his command but in general they rule over the area like a mayor.

Rashemen has been at near constant odds with the country of Thay. Their Red Wizard rulers have been trying to conquer the country and it's magical wealth for around 500 years and have convinced their citizens that Rashemen is a debased country. Luckily, the Red Wizards make a lot of mistakes and are too concerned with infighting to present Rashemen and it's people with more of a serious threat.
