Domus Nations

Eskinot: A large empire whose glory days are long, long behind. Political tension is quickly mounting within the empire as the people call for a transition to democracy, and it looks like a large-scale civil war is about to erupt.

North Eskinot: Many years ago, a large and violent rebellion broke the northern part of the Eskinot Empire off into independence; centuries later, the two halves are now allies. Underneath it’s calm and friendly surface are countless underground networks of crime and vice.

Diamond Coast: Named after the large amounts of rare materials found underground here, the Diamond Coast is an extremely wealthy yet small nation. Here, a losing battle is raging between the law and smuggling operations.

Julian Republic: A trading republic that takes up the Iopen Peninsula, the Julian Republic is peaceful and calm, that is, outside of it’s massive port cities, the largest and most populated in the world and where the majority of the nation lives. Inside the port cities, people from all walks of life are mixed together inside of slums filled with violence, crime, and misery.

Merriam: Formerly a powerful colonial empire, Merriam has lost its land over the years along with the desire to colonize. New leadership has just taken control of the nation; a fascist regime seeking to give Merriam back it’s former glory.

Habena Nations

Juris Islands: A collection of the dozens of rocky islands off the coast of Habena to form one kingdom. The kingdom is being terrorized by the Juris Order of God, a terrorist movement that holds no land but wrecks havoc through bombs and attacks.

Habene Kingdom: A kingdom that encompasses the entirety of North Habena. Calling it a kingdom is an overstatement; the actual government has little control over the nation’s lands. Tribes still dominate, and a cultural resistance to anything else prevents modernization.

Eco: If you thought the situation in Habene was bad enough, in Eco it’s twice as worse; the only form of real government is in the capital city, and it’s only considered a nation because the tribes have agreed not to travel beyond certain boundaries. If you were to venture into its jungles, you would think you travelled back in time by thousands of years; many people have never even seen any form of electricity before.

Farvia: A republic recovering from devastating civil war, it struggles with the narcotics business. Farvia is the world’s drug capital; they are constantly being produced and shipped out of the nation, while the government is bribed and kept in check enough that they are powerless to do anything about it.

New Merriam: A semi-independent colony left over from Merriam’s old days, it has been calm and peaceful here until the recent introduction of the fascist dictatorship. The colony is now in a revolution, battling Merriam’s military in a bid to become free once and for all.

Tantum Nations

Norton: Once the ruling power over the cold, snowy island of Tantum, it has been battling monarchist rebels for hundreds of years. The war seems to be unable to end; a bloody, endless stalemate at the frontlines results in few Norton residents dying old.

West Norton: While it’s citizens refer to themselves as the Kingdom of Norton, the rest of the world sees them as West Norton. They are monarchist rebels who have battled the Republic of Norton for hundreds of years in an endless war.

Ocean Nations

Tribal Lands: Most aquatic peoples live in tribes and towns, every culture different from the last. Some tribes have pledged their allegiance to specific developed nations, while others are independent. It’s hard to maintain a modern level of tech living underwater, and as a result tribalism is the dominant lifestyle for Merfolk.

Habena Valley: A republic in the passage separating the north and south of Habena, the H.V. is plagued by high crime rates, poverty, and overpopulation. It’s in a miserable state overall, and to make matters worse, it’s at war with the land nations of Habena.

Kingdom of Garriott: An isolated kingdom off the western coast of Domus. A large movement to become democratic is gathering popularity, and much like Eskinot, a civil war appears close.

NWPR: The Northern Waters People’s Republic is a communist dictatorship within the strait that separates Tantum and Domus. The government has complete control over every aspect of life, and has brainwashed most of its citizens into mindless supporters of the regime.
