## Death

The deceased are made into statues, they are covered in clay which is then heated until hardened, these people populate a town of the dead, having specific poses and given clothing. It is taboo to visit this town and awaken the dead, as it is meant to trick the gods that they are alive, so that their souls stay in their bodies and live out a normal life, rather than being eaten by the hungry gods. Those travelers who dare to enter the town never leave, as it always has guardians that paint themselves daily in clay, and are capable of standing very still, and never talk, they have a chemical that petrifies the flesh, and they will use it to inter visitors, who will now be forever part of the town. This method only works on the living, and is excruciatingly painful, and done with no joy, but with righteous anger at those who do not show respect to the dead.

## Government

Bankocracy. Liberal Democracy. Semi-Presidential Republic.

* Banks are the secret power of this nation, though it brings in money for the country, it only cares to serve itself, and even loath to give away too much wealth to those that run them. This land is ultimately a republic, and at its core is a liberal democracy where civil rights are sacred, and everything strives for fairness and justice. It is a semi-presidential republic, where there is a president and a prime minister, both splitting the duties of leadership and legislation.

## Notes

The shape of the country is that of a section of Greenland, in the southwest, of the space between the coast and the ice.
