Satu

## About

Satu is considered a "global nation," an entire world made up of one country. It has a global currency, centralized government, and all people alive are considered global citizens. It is the location where the series Nekoshi and Satu Warriors (and other spin off series by Lynchling) take place.

## History

Satu was created by the god Ziga, the deity of creation and destruction, as a kind of "pet project." He took inspiration from other universes, and pulled all of his favorite pieces together into his own play world. This is why Satu has such diverse culture, creatures, and socioeconomic systems within a small geographic area.

When the world was first made, there was no human vs. animal separation. All inhabitants were shape-shifters with the ability to become animals or humans as often as they liked. Chaos inevitably ensued, and Ziga realized the mistake he had made and quickly froze all beings in their current state. Some became permanently human, some animals, and their offspring up to that point had combined genetics, creating the Jinn race.

## Geography and Politics

The area of Satu is approximately 2 million square miles (or roughly half the size of the United States). It was divided into six geographic regions by the Principalities of Satu, which are all governed by a local Power. The three largest cities, Revech, Thevech, and Mollvech, are located in the most densely populated areas of the country.

The center of the country has a mostly temperate climate. Mollvech and the northern side of the country are mountainous and have heavier snows and harsher climate. Down south in section 1, the area is mostly arid with wide, open desserts.

Politically opposite of the Principalities are the citizen's Warrior Guilds located in regions 5, 4, and 1 (The Warrior Guilds are further explored in the Satu Warriors series). The Guardians Guild is centralized in region 5 surrounding Thevech. The Seraphs are located in area 4 in the city of Revech. The third guild, the Elementals, are located at the southwestern most part of Satu in region 1, in a small, coastal town called Pondria.

When Satu was first created, Ziga gave the inhabitants the opportunity to rule themselves. To help them establish guidelines for government, commerce, and an economy, he left behind two temporary rules in the form of Llagnes, a heavenly race of creatures who had the wisdom of watching many other words thrive and perish. The Llagnes witnessed the formation of the Principalities, led by a rebel named Yukio Gunman, and established the Warrior Guilds as a way to help the inhabitants of Satu fight the ever-growing evil.

For many generations, the Guilds helped maintain balance in Satu, but over the years their militaristic way of life began to wear the country down. A great war between the Principalities and the Guilds left Satu floundering, and the Principalities were able to gain control over the world. While neither system proved to be perfect, both had pros and cons. However, the negative aspects of the Principalities far outweighed their positive contributions to society. Inevitably, another war began. With godly intervention (Ziga), the Guilds were finally able to overthrow Yukio and regain control of the world.
