Zi'an Dynasty
Government
The Zi'an Dynasty is ruled by a single blood linage that pass down the right of ruler to their child that proves themselves the most. The current ruler is Empress Kola Zi'an and she has been the ruler for the past fifteen years. The Empress won her right to rule over the rest of her royal brood during the Right of the Sun which is a series of tests and challenges that are undertaken by the entire brood to show who has the right to lead the entire Empire. The Empress or Emperor are viewed by the nation as chosen by the Gods and no one has the right to challenge their word without equal rights of the Gods. Besides the seat of power on the island capital of Tlaloc each of the Temple cities that are hidden within the rainforest are ruled by a governing lord.
Geography
The Miquiztli Forest is a dense and dangerous collection of trees that covers the entire lower half of the continent stretching from the western ocean all the way to the Poctli Mountain Range against the eastern border. The climate of the forest is a humid place with trees climbing sixty to a hundred feet into the air creating a low visibility issues on the ground with the lack of sunlight that can get through the canopy. Most of the forest is covered in perpetual shadows which can be worse with the common rain storms that can rage across the continent creating hazardous swamps which house a variety of dangerous creatures.
There are only six Temple cities located within the Zi'an Dynasty which seem to have been cut out of the forest themselves. Each city is surrounded by a wall with a single large tiered temple standing in the center. The greatest of these cities is also the throne of power and is called Tlaloc. Tlaloc is located in the western part of the continent on an island transforming the entire island into a virtual fortress with a single narrow bridge to the north and a large port on the southern end.
Culture
Much like the government section, don’t drown us in details, though feel free to add more info under a hider or something. Is your country culturally homogenous or a mixture of ethnicities? Are your people humans or some other race? If you have various ethnicities, how do they interact with each other? What are your people’s values? Bonus points for adding insults they use to refer to the people from countries they have been at war with. A note about nonhuman races: do not simply make them arbitrarily superior to humans, if they are better than humans in one way then they will be inferior in another way.
Military
How do your people fight? What strategies and tactics do they usually employ? What sort of equipment do your troops use? What’s the emphasis of your military? Try to be somewhat unique here. If a pre-existing country makes heavy use of heavy infantry and shield walls, for instance, don’t do the same yourself. I am not interested in numbers or percentages, so don’t use them.
Heroes
Each country gets one superior hero and three normal heroes. In terms of combat strength expect a superior hero to be on par with about 150 men and normal heroes to be on par with 100 men. (Yes, this is the only place in the sheet where there are actually numbers) Basically these are the badasses of your country that you can use for point of view characters if you want. At absolute bare minimum you need a name and one line description of what your hero is good at; however, ideally this should be the largest section of your sheet. You can use any explanation you want for why your heroes are stronger than normal people. For example using magic, being blessed by a god, or simply being very skilled with their weapons. Also keep in mind that if a hero dies you can replace him or her with a new one.
History
A brief history of your country is fine, so long as you cover the last 20 or so years. I’m looking for more of a summary of important events than list of dead monarchs.
Relations
How does your country interact with its neighbors. I am not looking for a list of exports and imports, but feel free to add them if you want. At bare minimum I want a listed rival here, another country that yours viewed as an enemy and actively worked against during the past twenty or so years.
Characters
Optional section. Put any info about any characters here. Examples of this would be your kings or queens, military leaders, and non-hero “badasses”. You can also put more detailed info of your heroes here as well.
