			* To the South is the Duchy of [[Ranke]], to which Ormond owes partial fealty.
			* To the North is the Marquisate of [[Bowcourt]], of the Western Kingdom, to which Ormond owes partial fealty.

			'''Editors note''' - ''Ormond’s divided fealty to both the Duchy of Ranke and the Marquisate of Bowcourt makes it a realm of careful words, double obligations, and permanent suspicion. Ranke sees Ormond as a dependent county owing legal, fiscal, and noble obedience to the duchy; Bowcourt sees it as a marcher partner owing military service, road security, and loyalty to the Western Kingdom frontier. The Count of Ormond must therefore govern through balance and ambiguity, ensuring that every concession to one overlord is softened by reassurance to the other. This makes Ormond politically valuable but administratively miserable: overtaxed, over-documented, heavily watched, and forever vulnerable to accusations of divided loyalty.'' <br/>
			''How this will change with Ranke being a full part of the Western Kingdom again has yet to be seen - after all with the Western Kingdom on both sides is it not in the interest of Ormond to become a part of the WK?''.

	There are roughly 175,000 (as of 810WK) people living in Ormond. The average population density in inhabited areas is about 50/sq.mi. Most of the mountainous areas are uninhabited, and there is only sparse population in the swampy areas. 20% live in urban areas, and over 50% live within twenty miles of the coast. Most rural people are farmers, woodsmen or fishermen. There are about 300 Manorholds in Ormond, and as many Communal hamlets without Fiefholders, particularly close to the towns. The County can muster roughly 300 knights, 1,200 military yeomen and roughly 2,000 militia is time of war.		There are roughly 175,000 (as of 810WK) people living in Ormond.

	The war affected Ormond in several ways. Bowcourt used Ormondton as a naval base for its frigates, and Ormondton Cathedral was a major staging point in the Church sponsored pacification of Dumar. Refugees from Aladar and Aquiia have settled in Ormond which range from dispossessed Knights of Novalar to farmers fleeing from war-torn Jurgenmark.		The war affected Ormond in several ways.

			As of 818wk the population has grown to around 225,000.

	The County of Ormond strongly maintains its internal independence via divided fealty, to the Bishopric of [[Mordeaux]], and the Duchy of [[Ranke]], for which it guards the Western and Northern border respectively, from the denizens of the Ffenargh Swamp, including those of the excommunicated Barony of [[Dumar]], directly North of the lands of the Baron of Uperdyk. Many of the nobles of Ormond also retain significant family ties with [[Aladar]], [[Ranke]] and [[Brandenburg]].
