Its roots strech back to the same period as Earth, Vers, and the Church of Sigmar. Finlar is proud of its heritage and comfortable with its size. Finlar discovered economic might from a sufficiently advanced economy allows the nation to keeps its relatively small population at a very high quality of life. The financial firms are essential to maintain the high quality of life, and social democratic system of Finlarian life. The cultural outlook is that these firms must invest with a moral sense. Post-Great War critics have pointed out that the moral sense seems to have become distorted chasing greater returns to fund an increasely luxuriosu and less produce lifestyle for the Finlarian population. Throughout the Great War, and subsequent Versian Civil war, Finlar become a financial powerhouse, its firms spreading throughout the Known Universe, backed by some of the most advanced warships produced at relatively mass scale.
