Abayang
The large and long continent dominated by sprawling and rich rain forests, majestic mountains, and desolate high plains south of Abazang is known as Abayang. Home to five dominant nations, these people, each with their own unique cultures and histories, have been locked in tense relationships for centuries. In the past, these disputes were settled on the battlefields. Now, however, diplomacy, trade deals, and shifting alliances are the standard method.
Tawantin
The oldest unified nation of Abayang, Tawantin is ever-expanding, although slowly nowadays. Contrary to the military expansionist Ezcan Empire, Tawantin uses diplomacy, arranged marriage, and treaties to expand their domains. Wars are uncommon but not unheard of. Their domains extend through most of the western region of the continent, all along the mountain range. Known for their solar technology advancements, which are closely linked to their main spirituality tied to the Sun God Inti, the scientist-priests of the empire hold great respect and influence. In Tawantin, science and religion are connected and go hand-in-hand. Many of the temples throughout their territory work as a school or university, and education is accessible to any of its citizens. It is also accessible to most foreign visitors who choose to live and learn with them, so long as they agree to work for the community for six years afterward. At the end of this period, the student is also offered full citizenship and the option to bring in their family.
Cambaba
Located in the northern central part of Abayang, along the Amazon Basin, east of the Tawantin lies Cambaba. Due to its location, Cambaba is protected by wetlands, making the nation's military conquest by others very difficult. Being the largest supplier of food and agricultural equipment on the continent, thanks to the rich soil and nutrients brought by the river, Cambaba is prosperous and highly populated. They are also proud of their culture, and some may consider themselves more cultured than their neighboring nations. This leads many to make efforts to distinguish themselves from others, making it clear to anyone looking they are from Cambaba. The nation is also widely known for its textile industry and art; some of its cities are cultural references for the region, attracting people from all over the world.
Aniil
Aniil is a small nation in the southern portion of the continent, following the mountain range and with access to the sea through an extensive channel system. Famous for its trading hubs and expert merchants, Aniil is home to the greatest trading companies of the continent. These merchant organizations are so important in this nation that they can effectively run parts of the cities they operate in, having participation in the nation’s government. However, each company is run by its workers, who administer all aspects of its operations, making sure the people are satisfied, well-supplied, and well-compensated. People from all over the continent and beyond visit the markets of Aniil, the great city from which the nation took its name, both to do business and to experience the world through their markets.
United Tupi States
In the central eastern portion of the continent lies a great nation composed of several small states that could very well be their own nations. The United Tupi States formed an alliance to better preserve their territory and people in the face of the threat of the All Tribes War. The many states all share a common origin in the past, as they all descended from the first Tupi people who migrated all over the continent thousands of years ago. Now, each of them has its own unique customs, traditions, and identity, even though they see each other as brothers and sisters, especially in the backdrop of the much wider world. This nation is well known for being self-sufficient in many ways, focusing more on internal development and trade than carving a niche for itself in international affairs. It took a long and hazardous task to unite all the states into a single nation, and they intend on making it as strong and unified as they can.
Confederacy of Bocatá e Hunza
Located in the northernmost part of the continent, the Confederacy of Bocatá e Hunza is notorious for its mineral resources, booming industry, and technology. The mineral resources from this nation range from coal, salt, and copper to gold, emeralds, and even lithium, now a very sought-after material thanks to technological advancements around the world. This makes the Confederacy a very rich nation, but one dependent on extracting its natural resources for prosperity. This is why the Confederacy has invested in developing a large industrial complex, focusing on metallurgy and robotics. Now, the nation is a leading developer of technological advances in these and many other fields, with each of its member states focusing on an area of expertise.
