Alicein
A small island nation, they have blended together their ideals of community and natural worship with new advancements and technology, in order to compete with the outside world.
Structure
Each Clan in Alicein has their own structure, but they follow similar frameworks, in that the Leader of the Clan is chosen by the people of the Clans when the former one steps down/passes away. When Alicein was recognized as an official country, the wisest of the Clan Leaders was chosen to be the Leader of the country, as far as the rest of the world was concerned.
Culture
Aliceinians have always gotten the brunt of the worlds misfortunes. They've only been their own country for 26 years, having their ownership passed around as different territories seceded. This is why they've come to rely on themselves, each other, and the land rather than any outward power. This has fostered a strong sense of community and generosity, but unease towards other countries in Edda.
Public Agenda
To keep their lands safe, and embrace the lost and shamed of the world.
Assets
The temperate rainforests of Alicein are full of unique and treasured fruits, mushrooms, animals, and especially the wood itself, which is rich in Mana and stronger than any other, surpassing even Hippolytan lumber.
Demography and Population
After a tragic and oppressive mandate on the mainland of Edda known as The Grand Expulsion, races of people who resembled beasts were banned, and therefore fled where they could, Alicein became home to many members of these races. At the time, it was a section of Atalanta, and was the one safe hold for them, and kept to that even as they became their own territory.
Feathered, Furred, and Scaled races are a plenty in Alicein, with more fleshy creatures being almost non-existant.
Military
There is not an organized military within Alicein, the islands rarely ever needing it, but different Clans and villages do have warriors full of people who enjoy using their strength, mostly for good.
Technological Level
Alicein is at a moderately high level of scientific advancement in terms of arcane usage, but it's a different style from the rest of the world, as it's infused within natural everyday objects naturally.
Religion
Aliceins religion is based around the natural environment around them, and godly animal spirits that are credited with their creation, those creatures being the same as the different Clans and their Leaders.
Foreign Relations
There is a quiet allegiance with the rest of the world through Alicein, although they do not interact with the outside world much.
Agriculture & Industry
It's a known fact that all of Edda is separated by thin layers of mana that keeps different biomes from colliding with one another. Alicein, for an unknown reason, has much more of these within it's territory, giving it many different biomes for agricultural cultivation. As such, they corner the market on fruits and vegetables, even if they can get a bit pricey due to shipping costs.
Along with that, Aliceinian lumber is cherished, as it is strong, malleable, and conductive for magic.
Trade & Transport
Villages and territories on a shared island are usually within easy walking distance of one another, and even to other islands there isn't much water separating the lands. To the rest of the world, Aliceinian items are typically shipped through a third party, either through Boncly or Atalanta.
Education
Alicein doesn't have standardized education, instead taking the 'it takes a village' method of child rearing.
Infrastructure
Many larger cities and villages have some sort of plumbing system, typically involving natural filtration, with the newly renovated capital of Ludl being the most advanced. Along with that, paved dirt roads are common among villages, along with some magitech advancements.
To give is to love, to share is to cherish.
