Ruanon

Ruanon is a nation built around the largest surface city of our world also called Ruanon. It's a wealthy empire that currently holds the most diplomatic weight in our world. Even though there are a few other large empires, the dali of today know that "imperial" means Ruanon.  

Structure

Ruanon's mindset of the capital taking priority over everything else extends to its structure too. The World Council for example is not attended by the Emperor, but instead by a representative from the capital. And just like that the city of Ruanon has jurisdiction over everything else.   ORGANIZATION CHART NOT AVAILABLE

History

The nation was founded by an Elf, that some speculate came from Zha'dia. Most often simply called The Founder - he laid the foundations of the capital. Thorought the times the capital went through two major expansions, where additional "layers" (a set of districts surrounded by a circular wall) were added to it. The nation itself was proclaimed shortly after it reached this size.

Demography and Population

The demography of Ruanon is split into two - the imperials and everyone else. Those living in the capital city of Ruanon are considered to be the "main citizen" of the empire (thus the name imperials) while those living in the surrounding settlements often feel themselves secondary in the eyes of the empire.

Military

The Imperial Army of Ruanon is considered strong enough to make them a regional power.

Religion

Although faith is not enforced on a personal level, you won't find churches for deities outside of the state religion.

Foreign Relations

They are always looking for more trading partners.   Diplomacy Diagram not available

May the skies fall, for Ruanon will keep standing!

    A settlement created with the sole purpose of serving the empire and extends its influence over territory owned by its vassals. Contrary to the military settlements elsewhere, this so called imperial outpost can not stand on its own if the empire falls - there's no rule except that of the overseer and no nobles nor economy except for what the empire provides.

    It emerged from the sea, pulled by the Repelgil. They kept feeding it more and more until it reached the height they wanted. Their researchers probably worked years calculating how often and how much Repelgil must be fed so it continues its existence in the skies. I was shaken, just like the ground below me. A single thought raced through my mind - what might Yula think of this bold display?
