Shinomas Magocracy
Others speak of serving their country, dying for their king or doing anything for their fellow countrymen. In Shinomas, we do not speak of such things: we act.A nation of scholars and warriors, the Shinomas Magocracy have taken to the practice and industry of Necromancy with a fervor that give even other Nekrobiotek pause. In their rapid and brutal rise to Great Power status, they have made no friends and many enemies but all have been made to fear them.

The people of Shinomas are hard workers, industrious and clever. Theirs is a culture which commends the humble man, the kind who works hard for his family, who always leaves something behind for the next man in line and who treats his fellows with courtesy and respect. They are polite to a fault and have always demonstrated their capacity for solidarity with their fellows and friends.
In battle, they are fearless and tenacious fighters, capable of great feats of heroism and selflessness with a sense of duty to never leave another brother in arms behind.
It has been said that you can get a stiff to laugh before a man from Shinomas. Cold and distant, they make no attempts to bridge the gap between strangers or to break bread with old foes. They have shown themselves able to be exceptionally cruel to others, enemies as well as neutral factions who were simply in the way. Sometimes, this cruelty is very casual and other times elaborate. No one matters as much as the Shinomas nation and there may be no line they will not cross in its support.
This cruelty can extend to people from their own nation, too. Those who step out of bounds with convention, who surrender in battle or otherwise violate some cultural taboo can expect no better than an enemy captured in war. Out of all the Great Power, no one wants to be a captive of the Shinomas.
Faith and Dead Flesh Not all faith was shattered by the gloomy revelations made by magic. In the inner circles of the Shinomas Magocracy, there are those who view Necromancy as more than mere industry. It is a means of ascension, a way to transcend all the frailties of the human body. This cult of necromancers are known to only a few and all who do fear them. So far, they have kept their name secret from all outsiders but their influence on the Shinomas Magocracy is great.Perhaps unsurprisingly, the rulers of Shinomas do not think highly of most of the other Great Powers.

Lazy, ill-disciplined and loud. It is a wonder they ever got anywhere. Why won't they just go away, leave us alone?On the Obryad Federation
They understand and respect power better than any other. If they could only get over their silly sentimentalitets, we could perhaps call them brothers.On the Abhimaan Monarchy
It's only a matter of time before they crack. They're old and weak. It is our time, now.
