Lasigum

Lasigum is a landlocked country in the middle of the Northern region of the eastern continent.

Lasigum is ruled by a family of well trained combatants that are each a force of nature in their own right.

Lasigums lands cover 532 thousand square miles and has one of the higher populations of the Orange Isles at 10.1 million people. Temperate deciduous forrest and grasslands dominate the geography in this country, though there are some noteworthy differences near the Southeast portion of the country which include Taiga and Glacier regions. The country's landscape is influenced by Mount VanGale's slope that poke into the southern region of the country. The peak of Mount Enshmirtz and slopes take up a small part of the north of the country.

The dominant culture in Lasigum is Romian, though Vengrian culture is prominent in the Northeastern region of the country. The state allows the Vengrian nomads to pass freely through their boarders. There is some spill over of Turchian culture near the boarder with Jostam, in the Western region of the country.

The dominant religion throughout Lasigum is Moporliellism, though religions splits along similar lines as culture, with the religion of the Pazlarian Spirits being prominent in the Northeastern region, and Romian Shamanism being prominent near the Western boarder.

Lasigum shares a Western boarder, and most of it's Northern Boarder with the crescent shaped Jostam, an Eastern Boarder and the remainder of it's Northern Boarder with Iioa, and a Southern Boarder with Visionavia.

Lasigum is currently joined by Visionavia in war against Jostam and it's vessel states, Eklatrium and Cadosia in hopes of resisting conquest by Jostam. Lasigum's boarder with Jostam has become brutal due to frequent violent terrorist attacks committed by both sides. The war is fierce and the battle rages on with terror attacks coming from both sides and each one resisting with fervor.

History

The kingdom of Lasigum was once a powerful and unified from until around 80 years ago. The nation's might was unrivaled which is what allowed the nation to grow as large as it is. The country's once great fair and just king died late in life, of natural causes. Due to the large family that he had, each with a claim to the throne, the kingdom began to fall apart. Still bounded together by respect for the late king the country exists in a state of disunity more so small independent fiefdoms that work together at times.

After the 15 year war of Divine Ash

Lasigum was a force of death in the war. Leveling thousands of towns and sending small units to face entire battalions showed their great pride. It was not unfounded pride though. They were able to defeat those they fought, especially with the help of the royal family. After all the concurring that they had done they walked off with 714 thousand square miles.

Five months before the end of the war, a single man challenged the entire royal family to a duel for the throne. Seeing no way that they could lose, and being honorable, they accepted. The man moved with grace and precision unlike anything else. Many who were there said that they saw him catch on fire all on his own. In a difficult battle he bested the whole family, then immediately abdicated to someone who he had obviously been conspiring with. To this day they rule the country.
