Neutral Territory

The term "Neutral Territory" refers to two small nation-sized plots of land in Voldrania that were set aside by the International Council of Voldrania to serve as neutral, or communal, territory. While the Council intended to make use of these territories to further international cooperation, the increase of conflict in the 40s and 50s and the Nether Conspiracy ultimately led to their neglect.
==History==
The first plot of land designated as "Neutral Territory" was a peninsula on the northern shore of Equivian territory in Primaria. The land was freely donated by the Equivian government, due to the fact that the peninsula was unnaturally cold for the regions climate and the Equivian people had little interest in developing there. Numerous scientific groups from several nations set up research facilities in the region in a joint operation to better understand the regions mysterious climate. In the late 50s several Void Rifts were discovered in the area, and it became the epicenter of study on the Nether, Void, and the ongoing Nether Conspiracy.
Shortly after the first territory was established and designated a center for the scientific community, the Council agreed to designate another unoccupied portion of land as "Neutral". This land, located in Ghern, and just south of Akarv's Tedre colony, was meant to be used for a "Neutral City", a place where every nation could meet and be equal. While construction on this city did begin, the city was never fully populated due to international strife, caused especially by Akarv and Fallnavor's Near War.
In the end the Neutral Territories were not used to their full potential, but the experiment was not abandoned as a new "Neutral Territory" was founded in New Voldrania, in the form of a "Council Nation" at the regions center.
