Igonia is a nation of enterprising and quite civilized gnomes. The Igonian gnomes are quite fond of gadgetry of all types, and their designs tend to be more ingenious than harebrained. The end products of Igonian ingenuity, such as locks, clocks, clockwork toys, and most recently basic electrical mechanisms have a wide audience around the world, particularly in the wealthy Venteel and vast Empire of Trynser.
Igonain lands are well settled with moderately sized cities featuring large workshops and a variety of wind and water powered machinery. The land is one of impressive natural features, and the Igonians have a gnomish compassion for nature, but they also have a strong urge for progress. Many think that it was this attitude contrasted with the Ghalmardi passion for the preservation of nature at all costs that led to the seperation of the two gnomish peoples centuries ago, in about the year 330 by the Trynsern calendar.
No formal national contact exists with Igonia’s Ghalmardi cousins up the coast, and gnomes of one land love to talk crap about the others, but both nations share a common language (or at least common enough to be understood) and a number of other common cultural tendacies. It is probable that if one of the gnomish nations came under desperate jeapordy, the other would mobilize to assist it.
Relations are also good with the Wami city-state of Yalorian, though there was some strain a few years ago when the Igonians launched some mysterious large object and it came back down in that city.
