People — Kantonal Confederation

Four centimetres of spread: the only physical equality in the world — and precisely what unsettles the continent about them.

Six million — the smallest bloc. It did not grow, it did not shrink, it was not invaded, it did not invade. Alps, dairy, mercenaries and the Vaults.


1. The body

Average 170 cm. Banker at 172, high-pasture herdsman at 168.

A spread of four centimetres — the narrowest on the continent, by an enormous margin.

Universal dairy. Milk, cheese and butter in quantity in every valley and every house, because the mountain allows no great estate and production is by family. There is no elite diet in Kantonal, because there is no landed elite: there are people with more money who eat exactly the same.

The body reads class and history, never blood. Dress, uniform, heraldry and sensory signature of each bloc.
