Wakanda

==Public Information==
Wakanda is home to one of the oldest of cultures on the continent of Africa. Nestled deep within the jungles, it is bordered on the South by the Twisted Visions Lake, and to the North by the mountain range - of which Mt Kanda is its highest peak. These natural barriers combined with dense forests to the East and West keep the nation isolated, and well-protected. It is one of the few cultures of the world to maintain a true balance between its spiritual heritage, and technological advancement throughout the ages.
Wakanda is arguably considered also one of the richest nations in the world - and much of that wealth can be attributed to the abundance of the mineral, Vibranium, which is (to date) only found in Wakanda. Researchers and engineers within the nation have unlocked the secrets of this exceedingly rare substance, and applied it across a broad spectrum of industries. Consequently, the Wakandan people have made leaps and bounds in technologies from clean energy to weapons and defense capabilities.
And they guard their secrets very, very well.
The people of Wakanda maintain a deeply spiritual connection with the land, as well as with their past. They worship Bast, the Panther God, who takes an active role in their protection. The nation itself has always been ruled by the representative - or Champion - of Bast, a king or queen entitled:
The Black Panther.
Each "Black Panther" receives the Blessing of Bast upon proving his/her worth - a blessing that grants the ruler supernaturally enhanced strength, speed, senses and knowledge - all for the purpose of protecting Wakanda and her people, and ensuring that neither spiritual culture, nor science falls out of balance the other. The Panther-line is generally hereditary - passing from monarch to firstborn child (male or female), however, at any time the sovereignty of the Panther can be challenged by Rite of Combat. Should the Challenger prevail, a new line of Panthers would replace the old... until another Challenger succeeds.
Wakanda has its own currency, and while it might appear (on the surface) to be a 'backward' Africa nation, the majority of Wakandans citizens are highly educated - many of whom can speak a wide variety of languages. The important thing to note about Wakanda would be:
Never underestimate the Black Panther, or his (or her) people.
