The Independent Kingdom of Polland

**Overview**

Polland is a country located in the mainlands on the west side of the continent.

The mainly rainforest land rose to prominence when in the “golden age” they traded their exotic woods, medicines and drugs.

Sadly over the years the country has devolved, their once opulent lifestyle couldn’t be sustained just with the goods traded out. The Pollish would turn from a wealthy nation happy to welcome tourists, and sell all their land could provide into a melancholic society composed of drunkards and thieves.

The rulers of the country were always known for throwing lavish parties for representatives of foreign countries, with the alcoholic beverages flowing like rivers they’d often lose plenty of resources in the debates and treaties that followed the parties.

The current royals are the Krohhmal legacy, they’ve greatly impacted the economy- not in a positive way. The Krohhmals were widely known for partying till the last man standing couldn’t make even five steps in a straight line, with that, and their genetics they’d often make horrible decisions for the country- such as, selling ancient, magical relics of the gods for goat meat.

**Beliefs and religions**

Polland is a country stuck in the past, the current royalty lives in denial of any changes, and still believes that the old gods are alive, despite most if not all of the Pollishfolk knowing  well that the gods are dead.

The royalty would create games for their own amusement, under the guise of religious endeavors they would organize gladiator-like battles to the death between their people. Whoever would die would have been sacrificed to the gods, regardless if sacrifices were needed at all.

**Current state**

The country is on the brink of economic collapse, with little resources left above ground, and the Pollish people being forbidden from entering the dungeons without a royal permit (which would never be given in the first place) there’s hope for a turnaround,

The country is slowly but surely running out of money and goods that could be traded, hence the people often engage in unsavory activities to get by. Prostitution, drug deals and stealing are rampant and the addictions are at an all time high.

However, with the riots, and many plans of a coup d'état there's a chance that the country will experience better times under a new Ruler

**Law and Justice**

The current king, Lavi Krohhmal, has had quite a few ideas for laws over the years. Other than the basics such as;

* eye for an eye, all murder will result in death penalty
* stealing shall be punished with a fine the price of the stolen goods
* all infringements on other people’s personal wellbeing, whether it be assault, sexual assaut, maiming, robbery will be punished with an according prison sentence

There are also many laws that, to foreigners, would seem outlandish, such as;

* women are forbidden from showing their ankles and shoulders
* all legal adults are required to wear a mask covering at least their mouth and nose at all times when out of their house

(this particular law is suspected to exist due to the king’s attempts at seducing every local woman that breathes)

* all resident tieflings are forbidden from consuming alcohol (excluding royalty)
* all Pollish people are to show up to the annual sacrifice fight, no exceptions

Customs (ties to beliefs)

The annual sacrificial fight.

* an arena fight between adult members of the same species and gender to the death. Loser of the fight will die, and their body is to be sacrificed at the nearest church

The Pollish greeting

* All foreigners shall be greeted in a local pub and served everything for free, and then shall receive any service from a maiden/bachelor of their choosing.

The Royal greeting

* all foreign royalty shall be greeted in the castle with a feast, and serviced by a maiden/bachelor of their choosing

**Economy**

As stated before, Polland is on the brink of an economic collapse, with above ground resources running out quickly, as well as the rising prices of everything people have resorted to making their own… economy.

**Additional happenings**

* riots in the capital city: cause- tiefling uprising
* current royalty having infighting, as the king has had too many children out of wedlock, who are all fighting for the throne
* royalty and nobility who haven’t agreed with the laws have been cast out of the city and are plotting coup d'état
