Description So, again part of my nearly-pure-fantasy setting. For this time we have basque national state. Trying to remain neutral and conflicting only with Hispania(in this univesre basques even have irridenta in south), Euskadia relies mostly on mining industry, metallurgy and almost a thousand and a half years-old whaling. 
The currency, diezma, means literally "1/10", referring to old silver coins worth one tenth of golden one.
There is a unicameral parliament, but no constitution or legal parties. Instead of them thera are semi-official parliamentary factions. Errege Zirkulu or Royal Circle is some kind of centre-rightists, loyal to royal family.

Interesting alternate history, however Biarritz is in the wrong place, this city is Bordeaux (Bordele in basque)

Well, I realized that Google Translate failed me(it said that Bordeaux in Basque is Biarritz, lol) only after uploading. Thanks for giving correct name, I'll change it.
