## Overview

The **Federal Republic of Revus** is a democratic federation comprising **Alta**, **Gamea**, and **Ulka**. It plays a substantial role in global trade, contributing to 38% of the global economy. Acknowledged for their economic power, Revus had dedicated themselves to pursue scientific research and education, guided by the semi-religious political philosophy of the **Revan Star**.

Revus values knowledge deeply, earning the moniker "Country of A Billion Books." Even the smallest Revan towns boast numerous schools, libraries, and research centers that reflect the nation's dedication to intellectual pursuits, with accessible education for all citizens.

In the realm of technology, Revus collaborates with the Notarian Federation on research and engages in astronomical programs, positioning itself as one of the world's leader in innovation. The nation prioritizes eco-friendly solutions and excels in efficient technologies, particularly in world-class transportation systems that enhance global connectivity. Revus is a nation that demonstrates a commitment to progress and international collaboration.

## History

The Federal Republic of Revus emerged following the collapse of the Revan Empire, brought about by a nationwide rebellion. This uprising was sparked by discontent among the populace, driven by the perceived ignorance of the nobility. According to many Revan history books, the increasing imports of foreign books and knowledge to the general population played a pivotal role. In a notable shift, even an average Revan farmer, despite facing harsh living conditions, demonstrated the ability to outperform a Revan Empire noble in chess, symbolizing a growing disparity between intellectual prowess and the outdated societal structure.

In the future, this disparity will have an impact on revus' modern social hierarchy.

## Geography

The three states of the Federal Republic are mostly covered by vast deserts, and their cities are strategically placed along the coast, oases, and rivers that crisscross the sandy stretches of Revus. Due to the mostly barren land, Revan cities are designed around trading centers, making the distribution of goods more efficient.

In contrast to the surrounding arid deserts, Gamea's central regions have higher elevations and fertile soil. This fertility is a result of multiple rivers flowing downhill towards the state of Alta. As a consequence, most farms in Revus are located in this agriculturally rich area.

## Politics

### Government

### Military

The Revan military, also known as **Rii-fan Quwatameer** or **Revan Armed Command** in english, faces a challenge with limited infantry due to Revus' mostly barren landscape and city distances. As a result, military spending prioritizes ships, tanks, and specific-roled jets. The military is structured into four branches: Jayshi (Army), Fauqii (Air Force), Bahridir (Navy), and Syathidir (Coast Guard).

## Economy

The Revan economy hinges on trade, given that the Revus' miniscule agricultural output alone cannot sustain the country. The primary source of trade goods is the Alta region, where expansive coastal cities boast extensive ports, effectively managing the influx and efflux of ships navigating the Antaran Strait.

A substantial share of Revan's export revenue is derived from the field of transportation technology. From basic motorbikes to advanced mobile command centers, they excel in exporting a diverse range of products and high-efficiency services. Notably, their expertise extends to worldwide shipping, characterized by reduced maintenance costs. This sector stands as a cornerstone of Revan's economic strength, highlighting their technological innovation and playing a pivotal role in their considerable success in international trade.

## Culture

### SOCIETY

Revan's culture has consistently been a topic of discussion among nations worldwide. As a nation teeming with knowledge and talented citizens, it comes as no surprise that their cultural values heavily emphasize wisdom. With Arlanism permeating every corner of the country, the social hierarchy is intricately tied to individuals' talents and knowledge.

This has given rise to a caste system where, unlike conventional power structures, a person's position is determined by their feats and achievements, placing the highest value on individual accomplishments within their respective caste.

### EDUCATION

This ingrained social structure has left an indelible mark on Revus since its inception. In response, the nation has heavily invested in an extensive network of schools and universities, with most of their GDP being allocated to education, all supported by Revus' substantial financial backing. Remarkably, the literacy rate among Revan citizens has soared since the 1900s, underscoring a collective intelligence that has set them apart.

Governed by the state, Revan schools are not only widespread but also meticulously managed. One particularly noteworthy group of students is the "Ra'ul Division", internationally recognized as an elite cohort comprising exceptionally gifted students handpicked by the government to enhance their knowledge well beyond the scope of an average student.

### AESTHETICS

In a nation where its society embraces knowledge, their passion for art and design is no different.

**NURHAYYA** - Derived from "Nur" and "Hayya", which means bright meteor, is a Revan aesthetic that often blends predominantly black tones with highlighted pops of bright colors, creating a visually pleasing contrast. This simple aesthetic traced its roots back to the 19th century, inspired by Revus' Black and Gold flag. Unintentionally, it has become the key factor that allowed people around the world to promptly recognize Revan-made items with just a glance.

### Fashion

In the arid expanse of Revus, where the sun's intensity is a daily companion, Revan fashion has evolved to fuse style with practicality characterized by being very loose and thin. A notable aspect is on clothes of Nurhayyan aesthetic, where the lighter-colored accents on predominantly black clothing are carefully placed on the upper areas of the attire.

These bright colors are usually made of affordable materials that effectively dissipate heat. For instance, in Revan school uniforms, lighter colors are applied to collars, hips, and the top of bun hats to counteract heat buildup.

If one were to see a more expensive and high-end Revan fashion, they might be confused with their choice of dark colors on a hot climate. However, these garments are intricately woven with reflective materials and coatings, mitigating their heat absorption.

##### Traditional Revan Fashion:

* **Bun hat** - Also known as "Ajeen Hat" is a type of hat similar to a Kopiah but is wider and has a V-shaped cut in the outer front part. This is worn in the Revan school uniform.
* **Dhulma'ari Drapes** - Dhulma'ari, meaning "Bright Star" in Revan, is a type of sleeveless cape covering the neck to the hips from heat, they are usually made with reflective materials and bright colors.
* **Ashen Hairs** - Very popular among the young populace, the traditional Revan practice of coloring hair in white or other bright hues were originally made to reduce heat on the neck of long-haired women. This trend has experienced a significant surge in recent years, largely attributed to the influence of popular Revan rock bands that embraced this distinctive style.
