Racial Demographics and Population:

Due to the trading nature of the Coin, a lot of ethnic groups and cultures beside the “city dwellers” do exist in Dawnhill. Various races and skin colors co-exist for the part mainly due to the need for co-existing in a primary trading environment. The population for the Coin is mainly concentrated in it’s city but they are a few chunks that exist in trading posts, caravans and other smaller groups.





Culture and Religion:




Culturally the Golden Coin is varied. Dawnhill has been called a trader’s paradise and one of the places where the coin is top power. With trading as a key aspect of daily life on average if you aren’t involved in the military you'ref involved in some sort of trading connection for the Golden Coin. Innercity trading is mostly of food, clothing, gems electronics and other luxuries and needs for daily life.


Outercity trading is where things get exciting. Vehicles, weapons to expensive gadgets are sold here, but often away from the general public’s eye. Of course it’s easy to acquire these goods but it simply takes time. The Golden Coin’s governments keeps tabs on every one of its businesses through agents, extensive bookkeeping and through a deep array of sources and informants.


Leisure wise various things exist. Weather it be racing go-karts on tracks for kids to the various gambling dens in the city, any one of any age or gender can have fun. Of course drugs and prostiution do exist and are legal but again, outercity.


Religion is where things get murky. No established churches nor religious buildings exist in the city, not even outercity. There has been a push for some sort of church but various inner-city factions are against it, saying it’ll add strain onto the community’s health but also jeopardize trading due to the need to adhere to religious customs and laws. Of course the government has the land innercity, but it’s a political mess one could say. 








History:


The Golden Coin has had a fabled past. None can really point to where it began or when it stopped due to varying accounts by varying sources. However people do agree the Golden Coin did have influence during the Golden Age’s but simply wasn’t known. Some argue that the Golden Coin traces it lineage to noblemen and other high ranking aristocrats. Though some village elders that live in the library’s and other places tend to provide a unbiased history… if your willing to listen that it.






Military:




The Golden Coin’s armed forces are mainly defensive, however they are capable of performing offensive tasks to a degree of high efficiency if needed. Trading convoy’s are often accompanied by convoy’s and hidden units along them.
In terms of training a basic recruit get’s six months, mostly of firearms, tactical and risk assessment based training. After that the military divides into 3 branches: Trade, Reconnaissance and Defense.


The trade branch is mainly the convoy vehicles and hidden units. It also consists of the armed detail trade agents and delegates get for performing their respective duties. Trade operatives are often armed with sub-machine guns, pistols and assault rifles but some units do get rocket launchers for rival vehicles and armored targets.


Vehicle wise the Golden Coin in the trade division mainly uses Humvees, and armored armoured trucks as their main drivers. Cargo, men and often a machine gun placement are seen on these vehicles


The recon branch is one of the less known about branches in the Coin military. Recon units often prefer ATV’s, bikes to even simple cars. They often act as scouts but sometimes as long range fighters if the need arises. Sniper Rifles, Assault Rifles aren’t uncommon for these units. The Recon branch is the only branch in the Coin army that has the option for flight training. The Coin airforce is light in numbers however is actively recruiting. Recent drills have gone well and only look to help the Coin’s advancement into the air.




Lastly, Defense. The bulk of the Coin’s forces. Weather it be local patrolmen to outposts guards Defensive units are what make the military. Most defensive units are armed with a standard issue assault rifle, pistol and often either a shotgun or SMG as their backup primary weapon. Tanks, rocket propelled vehicles, hovercraft and many more vehicles are at the fingertips of the Coin for Defense.




Other:


A small airstrip exists out of the city limits of Dawnhill and could be considered the national airstrip for the Golden Coin
