Brief Summary
Many other civilization often tell people that the The Herema Desert is worthless to live because of its barren lands; despite their words, they are lying. The desert holds many different civilization from The Clans of the Kashar to Byzuaraia. Byzuaraia is one of the few nations that's surrounded by desert, besides the Sahtix Rivers and the coastlines. The nation is between (NATION #20), (NATION #16), (NATION #19), (NATION #25), and (NATION #10).
Because of their location, Byzuarains (citizens of Byzuaraia) are able to survive the harsh heats and the daily amount of sandstorms. And they also control apart of the Sahtix Rivers, which can provide fresh water to the citizens away from the rivers. It's also where most of the population of the country is located at; however, the remaining population live away for the rivers.
Location/Geography
"Siarq is our special jewelry box, containing some of the most astonishing gems around." - King Daljodh Dahiya II, 1250The geography of Byzuaraia is mostly deserts, the coastlines, and the Sahtix Rivers. To the south of the country, The Siarq Mountains stretch about three thousand miles. Inside the mountains, they contain some of the most enhanced gems and jewels in the world. That's why controlling the mountain range is important for the country, because that's their most important export item to maintain.
The coastline are also important, because they maintain trade with the rest of the world. Without them, they could economic downfall and unrest for the population. There's a chance that the coastlines could be taken by (NATION #9) and (NATION #25). They wouldn't let the coastlines fall to enemy control without making sure that it's worthless to them by destroying the cities among with it's ports and valuable things useful to the enemy.
And finally, the desert is useful in combat especially during sandstorms. That's why camels are commonly used instead of horses as a means of traveling around the nation and a way to fight the enemy. However, you will find a couple small villages and towns throughout the desert. Life is still going on for those people and they are happy with their homes.
History
"WIP" - WIPWIP
Government & Society
"WIP" - WIPThe government of Byzuaraia is an absolute monarchy, where the King wields unrestricted political power over its people. However, the king can have a council along his side if he wises to form one. In this council, the king can have the maximum of fifteen people and the minimum of four. All of the kings had a council aside them for their rule until their death. After the king's death, the members of the council either apply for a political spot or retire.
The current king is Vaar Jatatier. The history of Jatatier family line started hundreds of years ago, where the family was living north of the Sahtix Rivers. They were facing execution for treason in the area and legend says that they flee towards The Herema Desert to escape death. Almost all of them died while they searched for water until they found the Sahtix Rivers. With the remaining members of the Jatatier, they were able to survive and soon founded the city of Syracosa.
Then, the rest is history.
As for the society, it's complicated to explain. The few, that live in the deserts, are suspicious and paranoia about outsiders and techonolgy. While the majority of the population, are more careless and civilized than the few. However, the military is more likely to select the few than the majority to protect their country. Because of their suspicious, they are more likely to know something quicker than anyone else.
Economy & Industry
"WIP" - WIPByzuaraia always had a barter economy until thirty years, when the king introduced currency to the country. Despite the introduction, many people still barter to themselves unless it's foreigners. They would barter at markets at towns or cities, where people from all over would come to get the next best thing.
