[b]Basic Demographics[/b]: Xianglau is an island paradise lush with vegetation and resources located in the Eastern Ocean southwest of The Serene Empire of Tara.

The Island of Xianglau boasts a population of (TBD) Xiongnu citizens who worship three different religions. The Reikyu believe God is in everything and we must respect nature. They comprise 40% of the island's population. [i]“What you take from nature must be replaced”[/i] is an oft spoken Reikyu axiom. These people dominate the central regions of the nation and the capital city at Bodelay. Pencharnese explorers colonized the western end of the island in the early 16th century establishing a Population of Palanites who comprise 31% of the population. Palanite is a pagan religion with a pantheon of Gods worshiped at various rituals. The eastern end of the island is populated by Falanists who comprise the remaining 29% of the citizenry. The Falanism encompasses a variety of traditions, beliefs and spiritual practices based loosely on the teachings attributed to Falan. Falanism originated in the Gao Lin Mountains sometime between the 6th and 4th centuries BC, from where it spread across the  island. It is the original nation of Xianglau. Two major extant branches of Falanism are generally recognized by scholars: Sylar (The School of the Elders) and Nonbahye (The Great Vehicle).
