## **Etymology**

History of nation name

The standard way to refer to a citizen of nation is as a "demonym".

## **History**

Darath has always been a cesspool for the dregs of society. Originally a place where pirates, smugglers, slavers ,bandits, and rejects of every stripe hid out it has developed into a nation of its own. The variations in the population would be too numerous to list due to the fact that Darathian citizens have abuse genetic restructuring for years and change bodies like others change clothes. As alien as citizens bodies are the society is even more bizarre. Only theft is illegal but the law is enforced only by preventing it in the first place. Everything else being legal makes Darath a carnival of drugs, perversion, weaponry, gambling, slavery and other unsavory practices.

Overpopulation is an issue due to the “Respawn Immortality” of citizens made possible by mysterious and unnatural biotech preventing permanent death. Barely leading this motley society of mutants and monsters is an oligarchy council of company CEO’s keeping power only through corruption and corporate influence. While it may have been a nice place once the country is now all “meat and concrete”(Note Animals, Plants, Protists,Fungi and Bacteria are present not just animals) with no life existing but the unnatural replacements whipped up by the population to replace the organisms that died as the islands were stripped for resources and places to settle. All in all an interesting place to visit but a disturbing and dangerous place to call home.

## **Geography**

### **Geography**

Darath is a small island nation in the north of the continent. The island was created by volcanic activity that has long since run out. The large lava tubes left over have been re-purposed for various housing needs as has the whole of the island. Those on the surface and peaks of the island which has been remade into a city of chitin and bone lived in by the rich and middle class. The tunnels below have become a wet and squalid slum made of meat that the poor have to endure eternity in.

### **Climate**

The climate of Darath is one warped by heavy industrialization. Though traditional smog and sludge from factories does not exist in Darath there is something equally disgusting. Biological off gassing and juices from the meat, fungus, and vegetation of the buildings corrupt the landscape. Leaving the urban of the below ground thick with chemical fog and muck. The upper city does not have as many issues and is more at the whims of nature. Which leaves it wet and hot like a jungle; or something's insides.

### **Environment**

The environment of Darath is nonexistent. That is to say that nothing naturally occurring in Darath remains. Long ago the industrialization and urbanization of the island have left it stripped of it's native life. In it's place the island has been covered with organic buildings, blood vessels and nerve cables wired between them, and bio-form servitors replacing the natural animals and plants.

## **Demographics**

### **Religion**

Without death Darathians do not spend time worrying about religion. The closest thing that they have to a religion is a devotion to independence, capitalism , and hedonism.
