[u]Location:[/u]
Parts of Southern Mexico, Belize, Guatemala.

[u]General Introduction:[/u]
(because history may change depending on the final concensus on the setting I'm just satisfied with a short intro. What is your nation? What they do? How they live? etc...)

[u]History:[/u]
(You can ignore this part for now because the game's setting is ambigious at the beginning. Once it took shape you can work on your background more. Albeit if your General Intro already covers the history we need you can just skip this)

[u]Government & Society:[/u]
[hider=Government]
Unlike their northern neighbors, the Le'shi, rule of the Empire is more centralized, with the Emperor reigning supreme. However, his reach can only go so far, as such the Emperor has placed Noble Houses most loyal to him to govern the provinces.[/hider]
[hider=Culture]
Culture and Society of the Alth'Nar is one of decadence and harsh segregation, the people divided into two classes, Highborn and lowborn. Highborn are classified as the majority of Elves, who often enjoy a life of luxury. Lowborn however, live quite differing lives. Lowborn consist of none-elven races and elves who've turn their back on the Empire, a great majority of them living as slaves or in poverty[/hider]

[u]Races:[/u]
[hider=Elves]
The Elves of Alth'nar first arrived to the mainland four hundred years ago, exiled from their homeland after a long and brutal civil war. The Exiles were quick in taming the wildlands and local tribes, establishing their Empire.
[/hider]
[hider=Humans]
During the early conquests of the Empire, Human Tribes and Cities were the first to be tamed by the Elves. Now Humans, like the others, live among the lowborn, in the slums of Elven Cities.

[hider=Le'shi]
Le'shi within the Empire, like the other races, are not here by choice. The Le'shi Kingdoms and the Empire often fought, ranging from small raids, to border skirmishes, and escalating to all-out war. Often times however, Elven Slavers venture out themselves to acquire Le'shi slaves and most times, with success. Like the other races, Le'shi slaves are spread far out throughout the Empire and beyond, and those that escape but with no way to return home, are forced to live in the slums with the other lowborn.

[u]Economy & Industry:[/u]
Alth'nar is rather infamous to the surrounding kingdoms and tribes as the primary source of the New World's slave trade, both exporting and importing slaves to the Distant Old World and in the region. However, that is not its primary source of income. The Southern regions of Alth'nar are rich and fertile lands, one full of life, a perfect source for exotic meats, minerals, and lumber.

[u]Military Overview:[/u]
(Yeah, of course you also need to tell us some about your military. Try to avoid number games and unhealthy arms races. We play this game for fun and that needs balance and sensible approach. One of the main guidelines is that your nation's military shouldn't be much better than a historical 15-16th century army. Don't worry, I don't ask you historical accuracy. So-called "super units" can be okay if they are rather rare and may have other limitations. The point is to let you do cool things and explore your creativity but at the same time don't do it at the expense of others.)
