Danish Realm

## Flag

The **Danish Realm**, officially the **Kingdom of Denmark**, is a sovereign state located in Northern Europe and Northern North America.

The relationship between the three parts of the Kingdom is also known as **The unity of the Realm.**

The Kingdom of Denmark is a unitary sovereign state. It has Arctic territorial claims in the Arctic Ocean: various sites near the North Pole (Lomonosov Ridge, Gakkel Ridge, Alpha-Mendeleev Ridge complex, and the Chukchi Borderland). Constitutionally, the Kingdom of Denmark encompasses the realm, but the Faroe Islands and Greenland have an extended degree of autonomy to govern their relations.

Ambazonia

## Flag

**Ambazonia**, alternatively the **"Federal Republic of Ambazonia"** or **"State of Ambazonia"**, is a political entity proclaimed by Anglophone separatists who are seeking independence from Cameroon. The separatists claim that Ambazonia should consist of the Northwest Region and Southwest Region of Cameroon. Since 2017, Ambazonian rebels are in an armed conflict with the Cameroonian military, in what is known as the Anglophone Crisis, setting up a government-in-exile and capturing some territory. No country has recognized Ambazonia's existence as of 2023.

Until 1961, the territory of these regions was a British trust territory, Southern Cameroons, while the rest of Cameroon was a French trust territory, French Cameroon. At independence, a plebiscite was held, and voters in Southern Cameroons opted to join Cameroon as a constituent state of a federal republic. Over time, the power of the central government, dominated by Francophones, expanded at the expense of the region's autonomy. Many inhabitants identify as Anglophones and resent what they perceive as discrimination and efforts to eliminate Anglophone legal, administrative, educational, and cultural institutions by the Cameroonian government.

Espírito Santo

**Espírito Santo** (also known by its official abbreviation **ES**) (Portuguese: [(i)sˈpiɾitu ˈsɐ̃tu] (listen); lit. 'Holy Spirit') is a state in southeastern Brazil. Its capital is Vitória, and its largest city is Serra. With an extensive coastline, the state hosts some of the country's main ports, and its beaches are significant tourist attractions.

The capital, Vitória, is located on an island, which borders the municipalities of Vila Velha, Cariacica and Serra. These municipalities plus the outer cities of Fundão and Guarapari constitute the state's main metro area. In the northern extremes of Espírito Santo is Itaúnas, in the municipality of Conceição da Barra, which is a tourist location known for its sand dunes and forró tradition.

The Captaincy of Espírito Santo was carved out of the Captaincy of Bahia in the 18th century, during the colonial rule of Brazil, and named after a 16th-century captaincy covering roughly the same area of coast. Following the elevation of Brazil to a constituent kingdom of United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves in 1815, prompted by the transfer of the Portuguese Court to Brazil, Espírito Santo was elevated to a province. After the independence of Brazil in 1822, it became a province of the newly established Empire of Brazil, and after Brazil became a republic in 1889, it was granted statehood. In the early 20th century, its current state symbols were adopted.

Ancient Carthage

**Ancient Carthage** (/ˈkɑːrθɪdʒ/ *KAR-thij*, Phoenician/Punic: 𐤒𐤓𐤕𐤟𐤇𐤃𐤔𐤕‎) was an ancient Semitic civilization centered in North Africa. Initially a settlement in present-day Tunisia, it later became a city-state and then an empire. Founded by the Phoenicians in the ninth century BC, Carthage reached its height in the fourth century BC as one of the largest metropolises in the world and the centre of the **Carthaginian Empire**, a major power in the ancient world that dominated the western and central Mediterranean Sea. Following the Punic Wars, Carthage was destroyed by the Romans in 146 BC, who later rebuilt the city lavishly.

Carthage was settled around 814 BC by colonists from Tyre, a leading Phoenician city-state located in present-day Lebanon. In the seventh century BC, following Phoenicia's conquest by the Neo-Assyrian Empire, Carthage became independent, gradually expanding its economic and political hegemony across the western Mediterranean. By 300 BC, through its vast patchwork of colonies, vassals, and satellite states, held together by its naval dominance of the western and central Mediterranean Sea, Carthage controlled the largest territory in the region, including the coast of north-west Africa, southern and eastern Iberia and the islands of Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, Malta, and the Balearic archipelago. Tripoli remained autonomous under the authority of local Libyo-Phoenicians who paid nominal tribute.

Among the ancient world's largest and richest cities, Carthage's strategic location provided access to abundant fertile land and major maritime trade routes. Its extensive mercantile network reached as far as west Asia, west Africa and northern Europe, providing an array of commodities from all over the ancient world, in addition to lucrative exports of agricultural products and manufactured goods. This commercial empire was secured by one of the largest and most powerful navies in the ancient Mediterranean, and an army composed heavily of foreign mercenaries and auxiliaries, particularly Iberians, Balearics, Gauls, Britons, Sicilians, Italians, Greeks, Numidians, and Libyans.
Fidrea

## Geography

Fidrea is roughly the size of Ireland. Its well-guarded and scarcely used port exists at the northernmost point, where a land bridge used to connect to Ronan’s continent. Fidrea’s most notable geographical feature is its giant trees, with canopies that stretch into the skies and roots that disappear into deep shadows below. They are deciduous trees and change with the seasons of Soleras.

## Folly

Folly is the only civilization in Fidrea. It’s a widespread town that is built into the trees, and its most populated areas are near the center of the island. The architecture is intricate, artistic, and Elvish in nature.

## Culture

Fidreans are generally kind and hardworking people. Most of them have mundane yet enjoyable jobs, such as shopkeepers, farmers, teachers, et cetera. Many tend to learn trades like baking, candlemaking, tailoring, and blacksmithing. Some are permitted by The Two to pursue specialized professions, such as scholars and clerics.

Clerics mostly perform religious rituals for the public, such as funeral rites and marriages.

## History & Society

Fidrea was first discovered by two tiefling warlock sisters, known now as the Architects. Tales recall their claims of feeling ‘called’ to the land’s peculiar aura of magic. Together they established the only civilization on Fidrea — a village known as Folly — and cultivated a society that would dedicate its life to protecting the nation’s vast magical secrets. It is a “melting pot” society, meaning it welcomed people of all races (so long as they felt ‘the Whisper’) to join its inception.

In later times, because Fidreans are highly protective and spiritual people, one must be born in the nation to be considered a citizen. Outsiders are only allowed on the continent in rare cases. Fidreans can leave and travel elsewhere, so long as they follow the law known as “the Covenant,” which promises that they will return within five years. If the Covenant is broken, they are excommunicated.

Folly’s government is matriarchal. Every 90 years, a couple descended from the Architects will give birth to a pair of twin girls, who will grow up to serve Folly as “The Two.” These sisters rule in unison, as it is believed that their souls are ‘perfect halves of a whole, planted by the Whisper.’ Every Two end up becoming Warlocks, serving the Whisper as their patron.

People massively die in Winters (except for the Two, who are instructed to leave) and they are thrown into The Yawn. The Whisper calls out to outsiders to rebuild Folly’s population.

Winters are a death sentence for those who live in Folly. Staying is seen as true loyalty and faith; therefore, those who leave during the Winter are automatically excommunicated.
