Corliss was once part of the Calanthian Empire. Though the Calanthians were by no means tyrants, the majority of the population of Corliss are of Feuerlandian descent (aka humans), and fought hard for their independence. There were riots and race violence and protests, until 50 years ago through extensive deliberations, the Queen released Corliss from the Empire and they became their own nation.
Though they remain a neutral territory, they lack the natural resources to retain their economic stability, so over the last few decades, their economy has collapsed and they have become more lawless and depraved. Corliss is considered one of the best places for soldiers to take their R&R considering the proliferation of prostitution and the drug trade.
There are honest merchants dealing in unique and interesting craft goods, though they are becoming fewer and far between, especially those willing to trade with Calanthia, thus such goods are hard to come by unless to visit the isle itself, and even them some merchants will refuse to sell to Calanthians.
