Mara

The only free nation in the world.

"Mara is the only free nation on this side of the sea." -Talin

Most refuges from the federations rule ended up in Mara. Even though the Marans are rude to the refuges because they think of them as the invaders, they still let them in. The refuges are only allowed to live outside the inner wall, completely vulnerable to attacks from the Federation and Guards tasked to patrol the streets. Mara is imperfect, but at least its not the Federation.
