Republic of Vincennes
The Republic is one of the newer political fragments in the world, a break-off state from one of the larger remnants of Sarem. It is one of the more reasonable sky countries, living in general co-existence with its ground states rather than truly ruling over them, allowing them some form of representative rule in its parliament. However, there are branches in the ruling party that favor aligning with the upstart military power of Bolain, a country not far from them.
Petersborough Fragment
The Petersborough Fragment is a region of floating islands loosely connected to each other through magnetic interactions, the largest of which contains the city of Petersborough, a minor industrial hub. As of now the fragment falls into the jurisdiction of the Republic of Vincennes, and has for the past sixty years. As the largest city in the area, Petersborough has a steady flow of manufactured goods out of it and into the towns and farming communities on the islands surrounding it.
The main transportation hub for Petersborough is Boulanger Aerodrome, a series of airstrips and warehouses located on the south end of the city's island. Smaller islands are known to rise above the plane of the city and make the approach difficult.
Major businesses with headquarters or factories in Petersborough include the Patel Telecommunications Corporation, a major producer of radio equipment, as well as an extensive suite of hydrogen production facilities, producing airship gas. Altitude Aerofreight's base of operations is located in the warehouse district, along its western edge, built facing a secondary southwest runway. Its building is a four-story hangar, divided into a storage space, maintenance bay for a single aircraft, a front office, and a loft containing rudimentary living space for stopovers. It includes an access route to one of the main airstrips that goes out to the south (usually), which the company uses as its launch pad.
