Heilegeterra

Heilegeterra (or Heilegterra) comprises the core and center of the Coalition, geographically and politically. While certainly not the most important state within the Coalition, nor the largest, the general consensus is that Heilegterra ought to house the central councils and committees of the Coalition state.

## History

Heilegterra exists as a union between two areas, one primarily Janue, and another primarily Heimater, united by their belief in the Holistic church. This union happened proximate to the Calamity, which left Heilegterra relatively stable, after the initial disasters. Heilegterra has historically seen Lati as an ally and frequently sends troops for support during the Silver Wars.

## Politics

Heilegterra uses a feudal system wherein the royal crown delegates authority downward and regionally in exchange for tribute. Heilegterra enforces a strict theocratic system, in accordance with the principles of holistic church. In this sense, the day to day workings of Heilegterra resemble those of Lati, its religious counterpart, closely. As a further result, Heilegterra remains very stable, despite its multiple ethnic groups, All authority within Heilegterra is said to derive from God, the same as the authority granted to the minor deities. In a sense,the current dynasty exists atop a spiritual hierarchy that stretches from humble servants to the heights of royal splendor, each piece placed individually by divine mandate. To separate the Heilegterran state from the Holistic Church is to separate a man from his lifeblood itself.

Between states, Heilegterra tends to pursue a religious diplomatic policy. They make no issue ignoring the League and Comgal entirely. To the extent to which they interact with Latheria falls along the axes of ensuring mutual Heimater interests and ensuring the treatment of its religious minorities within the Holistic church. Lati and Heilegterra are extremely close allies, an alliance forged in religiosity.

## Religious Affiliation

Heilegterra exists as a pseudo theocratic state of the Holistic Church. The Church maintains courts for certain grievances sanctioned by the state, and is heavily influential within state activities. Chartenion remains one of the most important gods within their rituals, along with the traditional emphasis of Nomos.

## Military Disposition

Heilegterra uses generally traditional forces, keeping a regional based army that conscripts semi-randomly. Standards for conscription vary from region to region, often left up for regional authorities to decide.

## Demographics

The bulk of Heilegterra is split between Janue (in the majority), and Heimater (in the large minority), with some scattering of kavov groups, and low ascal. Along with this there is a usual smattering of catians and dogians within the state's boundaries, especially along its border with Dogia.

## Culture

Heilegterra has a varied culture within it. The Janue pursue the arts and their high culture is widely known and respected. The heimater, especially on the 'lower' ends of society are nearly indistinguishable from their Latherian bretheren. Heilegterra tends to idolize noble life, and moreso than any other comparable society within a traditional context.
