Piensa

Piensa is the ancient city in Raphtalia's world. It is the nation where the Bow Hero was summoned.

History
According to Mamoru, it is a big nation that tried to solve everything with strength. Piensa claims itself to be a non-discriminatory nation. but, It was just a claim. They believe that their version of the justice to be the true justice for the entire world. Everything other than their version is evil. They have a vast land and wanted more They believe that hero belonged to them alone. Since Mamoru never agreed to them, they tried to assassinate him countless times.

According to Melty, the nation is more tyrannical and waged war with other nation frequently. They had an ambition for world domination, so they had they eye on the holy land which may serve as a religious foundation for their ambition. Bow hero of their land didn't mind their ambition considering the united kingdom may favor the heroes to fight the waves But the Shield hero had disagreement.

Because of the influence of the Bow hero, Piensa is considering dragons to be the king of monsters which can be used in fight against waves. But Hon called out his discrimination against other monsters in favor of dragons.

The newly formed Siltvelt wiped it of existence. The remnants of the Piensa nation might have been absorbed by Melromarc of the newly merged world. This might have been the reason for Melromarc to easily accept Bow hero with other two heroes forming the Church of Three heroes. From this, one can concur the reason for this religions inclination towards the Demonizing of shield hero than devotion for the other three holy heroes.

Military
Though there is no reliable record of their militaristic strength. We can infer it to be average, since they needed a coalition army to fight Siltran. But still in terms of mastery,, level, numbers, they were higher than Siltran. They consists of Humans, Demi-humans, and therianthropes Specialized in warfare.

Their military also had Dragon battalions.

Siltran
They are not immediate neighbors and they are at a little distance away. They have likely issue with Siltran for not bowing to them. For their ambition of wanting to include the holy land found by the past hero into their territory, they needed Siltran as a base of operation, so they made attempts to invade it with the coalition of their allies..
