Kingdom of the Swamp

Kingdom of the Swamp is a state in the Cathrabe Empire. It contains the Upper Swamp Province. It borders the Kingdom of Cathrabe to the north and east, the Kingdom of Chuan to the northwest, the Duchy of the High Corridor to the west and the Kingdom of Bashu to the southwest. It is famous for the ancient artefacts in the area surrounding the old fort, which gives more information about the formation of civilization in the Kingdom. The King of the Swamp is simultaneously the King of Cathrabe, although the two positions need not be held by the same person and can legally be succeeded by different people. The King of the Swamp used to be held by the son of the King of Cathrabe, as its was established because the empire was growing too big for one single entity to hold. Therefore the region had to be separate yet obedient to the Emperor. The two positions fell to the same person when a King of the Swamp had no descendants, and ascended to the throne of Cathrabe after his father died, being the first person to hold the two positions at the same time. He passed the thrones to his younger brother after his death, and every successor held these two positions together.
