Dolakia

A nation of Orc, Human, and Dwarves living in different areas of the country. The Dwarves living near Mount Madrgo, an active volcano, the humans living around the outside of the volcano, and the Orcs living to the west of the river. They are protective of their wealth and lifestyle which is of a decent quality.

Dolakia is ruled by a monarch that is chosen by divine rights through ritual.

Cities in Dolakia are build of stone and mud. One of the larger countries at 1,053 million Square Miles it only sports 15.1 Million residents. Though the defining feature of the geography is Mount Madrgo and the surrounding volcanic environment, there are also savannahs forests and small bits of wetlands. The second major geographical feature and the river that effectively cuts the country in half with the east being mostly humans and dwarves and the west being largely Orcs.

Dolakia is largely a Romani culture with a decent sized Nowas culture, especially around the volcano. There are smaller pockets of Elladan and Turchian culture in the north near the borders. Borders on the north that are shared with Jostam and Riebonis. Kigoria borders to the east and Alikakia to the west.

Religiously the country is less diverse only encompassing Romani and Nowas beliefs and a small part section of those worshiping the Elladin spirits in the north.

Dolakia is not at war, though it prepares as though it was constantly. Dolakia sees threat from everywhere and is unable to let its guard down. Dolakians are prepared for war every day and watch for any sign that they could attack.

History

Dolakia for thousands of years has been governed by the sacred texts of the god volcano queen. Around 4 thousand years ago a dwarf was able to walk into the hot magma of the volcano and survive. She emerged from the volcano after an entire day she held in her hand a gem as blue as the ocean floor. The gem, also known as the volcano springs, has sat in the center of the capitol city ever since, providing amazement of its beauty ever since. The god volcano queen's skin glowed red for the rest of her life. She ruled well, if a little bit harshly. As she ruled she carved into pure obsidian her rules and advice for future rulers. Her teachings and legacy have influenced rule of every person afterwards. While those from 4 to 2 thousand years ago stook strictly to her teachings. After that the rulers began to relax some of the harsher punishments and wealth hoarder policies. This has made life of the citizens far better.

After the 15 year war of Divine Ash

Dolakia lost and gained territory in the war. They lost territory on their western boarder to Alikakia and gained a lot of territory from Jostam. After everything shook out, Dolakia now has 1,065 thousand square miles.

Dolakia has become a much more diverse and integrated country after the war, largely due to the removal of several laws around intermixing were revoked, and funds were put into making communities ready for intermixing. This was all part of the latest Queen's push for a more unified country.

The newest queen took over a year and eleven months before the war ended. The last monarch died during a parade that was sending off a large battalion into battle. They were crush after an enemy bombing send large rubble flying across the parade. The month after his death there were several monarchs that were chosen through the ritual but all of them were killed in various attacks and accidents, until the current queen came to power.
