Kaspia (Nation)

Flag

Kaspia is the titular nation of the SMP.

It is unknown when Kaspia formed, some history saying that it was the first ever nation to be created, others saying it was never a nation in the first place.

Kaspia currently works on a Trade and Barter system, with no proper form of currency. However, according to Daimon, money used to be much more common in the nation.

There is no concrete ruler of Kaspia, and most citizens have decided that Daimon would be it's ruler, as he is a God and the first person most people meet upon entering.

## Religious Ideology

Kaspia’s story is the one you’ll hear most often.

Prime, a Guide and Grim Reaper of the End created Kaspia and made Enderians to populate it, leading to the current world. Prime created more gods to help her rule the land. However, each god perished, as Prime's power was not strong enough to make them immortal. Prime used up her power, killing her to create Daimon to take over for Dhamesis. Daimon looks after the world in Prime’s stead. Akino and Adaliah are the young twin gods Created from the body and spirit of Daimon’s disciple to help him, as Prime created others. They served as a source of enjoyment and life for the world and Daimon himself. It was said they brought light to the world he looked over, before their disappearances.

This story has small inaccuracies, but is the most true.

## Culture

### Festivals

Festivals are a rich part of Kaspian culture. Multiple Festivals used to be held in The Heart, like the Moon Festival, The Sun Festival, The Spring Festival, and the Fall Festival. Christmas is also celebrated, but is not as prominent.
