Nation: Meerah

Meerah

Nation summary:

This nation is colored purple on the map and is positioned to the south east.

It occupies the provinces of: Meerah, Green-Marshes, Baypoint, Midge-Fens, Uruk, Umidor, Povonia, Baccar, Mician-Marshes, Gythyth-Mirks.

It is the second oldest country, once being used as the center for military organization by the Coven.

The country is ruled by a human King named Eysteinn Harddin. King Eysteinn I was the human face of the revolution that took place 53 years ago, at the beginning of his rule many questioned the former slave's fitness to rule, those that questioned too loudly found their necks resting at an axeman's block.

Humans are the ruling class, although the humans ruling themselves is little change to before, Drow are in a strange place in society as one one hand they were the unmerciful rules for generations while they simultaneously are why humans rule themselves now, as a result there is an uneasy peace between the two races. The surviving Drow that opposed King Eysteinn I would be either killed or enslaved while the Drow whom assisted him were allowed to keep the majority of their lands and titles.

The humans who have been granted titles and privileges normally reserved for that of noble blood are, many feel, overzealous. Older nobles fancy themselves heroes for having participated in the revolution thus feel their honor is above approch all times while their (adult)children lack the normal trappings of nobility and very often come to blows with other Noble Houses for the pettiest of reasons. This makes the country a very divided and dangerous place.

The largest city in Meerah is Ozette, which houses 22 thousand people and is the capital of the country. The country’s total population is 10,752,000.
Approximately 25% of the county's population is Drow, Humans number at about 70%, miscellaneous slave races make up about the remaining 5%
