Rokalia

The Kingdom of Rokalia is the most prominent and influential nation. Matters that arise here affect the entire continent of Sine. Rokalia hosts the royal family of the continent.

In the world of 'Winning Play', two princesses aim for a new role: Queen. The Queen is a selected process upon Queen death or the end of their term. Usually, there would only be one heir, and that has almost always been the case. Kings are chosen by the elite of royal society, but are usually inherited, that's what's said by Roko even though there has never been another King. In cases where there are two potential heirs, a selection process by the current King and Queen is begun in which each candidate must prove themselves better than the other, with every Sine nation having a say.

The Kingdom of Rokalia itself is extremely wealthy and Rokalia City itself is a high-end vice city with a massive shipyard. Not everything that comes through the shipyard can be fully determined, and results in Rokalia’s major flaw: crime. This is not typical gang crime, but mostly white-collar crime. Suspicious assassinations take place at least every week as everyone tries to reach the top. Sometimes, there is no other way.

Rokalia is a thriving city with a massive vice and gambling scene, and is at the forefront of 'Winning Play' story. Lives are won and lost within, and the rich and the cunning flock to the city to elevate themselves. Rokalia has a reputation worldwide as a united hub of high-end society, thus generating mild disgust yet a positive outsider look. On the inside, Rokalia, whilst incredibly wealthy, has a dark side to it that becomes vastly exploited by the two princess candidates who, no different from the businessmen, attempt to gain more power.

## **Society**

Rokalia is run by royalty. Rokalia is a thriving society that is wealthy and prosperous. Rokalia benefits from the most outside investment by far. Rokalia has a few countryside towns and does have other small cities. A lot of towns in the countryside are farming towns or ex-farming towns as that makes up most of it. Rokalia's practically infinite economy is from outside investment, tourism, royal merchandise and media exports.

#### **Rokalia City**

Rokalia City, known for its vice culture, is the largest city in Sine and the acting-capital of the entire continent. Rokalia benefits from massive outside investment and because of this is the richest city in the continent.

However, Rokalia City, whilst thriving in many forms, holds a unique 'high-rise' culture in its central districts where the higher up one is in a skyscraper, the more powerful they are said to be. The city houses roughly 50% of the population.

Rokalia City, despite its prosperity and presence of royalty, is statistically average when it comes to life quality and happiness. This is because the highly-urbanised areas of the city are dense with a competitive atmosphere breeding a heavy amount of white-collar crime. Rokalia has an underground criminal empire that is constantly being kept in-check by Rokalian security. Parts of the city seem dystopian-like and many areas of the centre are riddled with casinos and vice segments. Coupling the gambling and vice with its criminal problems, parts of the city are labelled as a 'must-avoid' and its many tourists are discouraged from entering specific areas of the city.

## **Military**

The majority of Rokalia's security are high-tech robots who operate throughout the Kingdom. They utilise similar drones to that of Sylxa to patrol many areas. Rokalia does have a Humanoid battalion of security, mainly based in the city of Rokalia. They are elite soldiers similar in capability to Furus Elite.

## **Geography**

Rokalia outside of cities is similar to Sylxa as it also does not have many countryside settlements. A lot of Rokalian land is used for farming purposes and is slightly more cared for than Sylxa’s. A lot of Rokalian land is privatised land as well, similar to Reides. Rokalian land is extremely high value and also under constant security from drones.

## **Historical Events**

Rokalia has long been the head of the continent. This is because royalty over the centuries have been based here. Rokalia is an ancient civilisation that remains well-ran and will continue to exist for likely forever.

Rokalia hosts the Queen vote. This is a vote between two Queen candidates presented by a Sine nation. The winner becomes the new Queen. The loser is often not seen again or remains a popular member of their society.

## **Agenda**

Rokalia has no current agenda other than to choose who to replace Jess with. From the two candidates, Roko and Jess must choose the candidate they think will fit best. As for the crime, the current agenda is to allow crime, but to control it to their own will, forcing crime from some not just to get who they want in power, but even for high-end entertainment value. This is something Jess has been persistent at trying to stop and whilst succeeding in many areas outside of Rokalia, dealing with Rokalian problems seem to be almost impossible for her.

## **Nation Opinions**

What does Rokalia think of other nations?

###### **Isoira**

*Our spiritual friends to the north west. A peaceful blip in an otherwise aggressive continent.*

###### **Furukanne**

*Do not care for us. It is up to them. They’re missing out.*

###### **Kodra**

*Kodra, a new nation that brings new opportunities. Rokalia does not appreciate conflict but in this case it was a rather beneficial one.*

###### **Sylxa**

*A storage country full of... ownership. In a continent like this, a nation such as Sylxa can be very handy for our leaders.*

###### **Jesnara**

*Rich prosperous nation in the south-west. We have many tourists from Jesnara. Jess has done a remarkable job as Queen and will be remembered forever. Jesnara brings another exceptional Queen candidate to the table... We wonder who their vote will be for this time.*

###### **Rokalia**

*The capital of Sine. Where dreams are made.*

###### **Reides**

*Powerful dark nation to our east. Not liked by a few. They’re not the best at hiding their secrets, even with a mammoth espionage reputation. It doesn't matter their intentions. A good Queen is all that matters. If Izra is elected, we can take Reides anyway, maybe even give it to the islanders, now that's entertainment!*

###### **Kely-Halia**

*Picturesque set of islands. We attract many tourists from here as well. Yet, we are not welcome there, why is that? Is it because we refuse to accept that a group of islands can disrespect Rokalia?*
