Equalia

Equalia is a nation that acts as the focus of the Equalia RP setting. It's an Oligarchy governed by the Enlentai race, which claims decent from the gods themselves, though they largely allow the people to live their lives as they please. It's capital is Camelot, a city of white marble located at the base of the central mountain with a towering palace built upon the mountain side over looking the valley.
== Geography ==
The land is one of rolling hills, a central mountain, with forests around. The valley it's self is largely sheltered by a crescent like ring of mountains to the north, west, and east, with warm winds blowing in from the southern plain lands which gradually take on a Savannah like nature. The lands to the south are currently being colonized though they remain largely unclaimed. Occasionally some signs of civilization down that way will reveal themselves, such as the Arubans, or nomadic folk. To the north the land is still cold, though not as frosted as they had been in centuries back.
== History ==
Equalia was established during the Age of Ice when three groups of diverse races fleeing the cold stumbled upon the fertile lands of the valley, which had been spared the frost. These where the Fae, Humans, and Sorcerers; each wanted to claim the new found paradise as their own, and thus a war broke out between them. It was this conflict that brought the attention of the Enlentai, who captured the leaders of each group, and imposed a peace. The leaders where essentially trapped until they could resolve their differences, and agree to share the land. This agreement set in motion decades of peace which though the mediation of one Atlas Whiteman, brought the four races into one nation. Equalia has been a single united entity for more then 800 years.
== Politics ==
Equalian politics are the result of centuries past. The Enlentai make up a council, in which every Enlentai is entitled a voice. The Enlentai are given governorship over trades, seasons, beasts, and more. A tradition they have carried on from their ancestors. The Enlentai council elects, and may dismiss, a Principle; someone among them to act as Head of State. Most people view Equalia as a Monarchy due to how long Solaris has been in power. While the Enlentai enjoy a form of ethnocracy in Equalia lower level government functions tend to be inclusive and democratic through elected representatives from the population as the Enlentai focus on the broader scope of state. Naturally though these local administrators are expected to bend to the will of any Enlentai whose presence they are in.
== Culture ==
Equalian culture has at it's core a reverence for the Enlentai as the children of the gods with Enlentai having different factions around their domain of influence.
