South Jute (South Jutean: Jute Daaliva, IPA: /jʊtɜ dä:liʋä/), officially the Maritime Republic of South Jute is a coastal country in central northern Ystel, consisting mostly of land surrounding the Daaliwan Bay and Ersaj River. It borders Gfiewistan in the southeast, Mermelia in the north and south and the Saru Sea in the west.
Like Lufasa, it was settled by refugees fleeing Jute, however, it has kept a much closer cultural connection to its homeland over almost 2,000 years despite occupation by the Saruan Empire in the 18th and 19th century and a long-standing conflict with Mermelia that had upheld historic claims over the entirety of South Jute. A legal settlement in the 1970s, preceding the founding of the Ystelian Community, finally ended the conflict. Since then, the land outside of the capital of Laina and its harbor has been under the shared sovereignty of both Mermelia and South Jute, with local residents free to submit to the courts and government of either polity.
Due to its strategically important location, a policy geared towards encouraging and aiding development and trade as well as past and present foreign investment, South Jute’s biggest city of Laina has become one of Ystel’s biggest international trade hubs, accounting for a large deal of intercontinental trade in the region. While Laina’s harbor is mostly a transshipment port, where goods are processed for further be transported via ship or railway to other ports and towns, the city also produces and exports a number of industrial and consumer goods.
Outside of Laina, South Jutean settlements are far less economically developed and still largely traditional agrarian villages, while Mermelian settlers have founded several modern towns and engage in more industrialized agriculture, as well as work in other sectors.
