Nations of Solinas

Avonmar
Capitol = Satagon
Largest city = Satagon
Official languages = Common
Government = Totalitarianism
Currency = Gold
Population = 231,800,000
Area = 8,345,800 sq km

The largest nation on the Domican continent Avonmar is lead by a self appointed totalitarian party that controls all aspects of Avonmarian life. Ranging from the frigid northern mountains down to the southern deserts Avonmar's boarders have been recently expanded and now push up against the Elven lands of Sulan. Avonmar is one of the most densely populated nations due to its advanced technology and devoted working class. Over half of the population and most of the upper class consists of humans while the rest consist of an even assortment of other races. Half-Elves are under represented due to the low social status they hold in Avonmar and the ancient exodus that took most of them across the oceans. The party that leads Avonmar, referred to as the Ludords, rules the nation by spreading propaganda decrying the positions of other nations.


Sulan
Capitol = Solmija
Largest city = Caseria
Official languages = Elven, Common
Government = Republic
Currency = Gold
Population = 93,900,000
Area = 6,025,400 sq km

An ancient sovereign nation created when the Elven people split, Sulan is a large country covered mostly by great forests. Its largest city of Caseria dominates many miles of the western coast and is one of the great ports in the world. The government is made up of many elder circles who bring the people's grievances to the capitol halls of Solmija where much of the country's central government lies.


Tailon
Capitol = Yewpan
Largest city = Lobae
Official languages = Elven
Government = Monarchy
Currency = Ulon
Population = 116,100,000
Area = 4,372,100 sq km

Tailon is an Eladrin nation that prizes magic above all things. They live under a monarchy headed by the Tamaril family who are supposedly direct descendants from the first elven people on Solinas. The Tailony people are generally Xenophobic and their culture reflects an insular group. Most of the Tailony cities are built with no stairs or ladders because the Eladrin people are able to teleport from one area to another. This makes it hard for foreign people to get around in Tailon. The city of Lobae is built to accommodate non-Eladrin people because it was mostly built by foreign traders but farther east you rarely see any race except Eladrin.


Yugoni
Capitol = Ulakong
Largest city = Mivia
Official languages = Draconic
Government = City states
Currency = Gold
Population = 22,400,000
Area = 4,942,700 sq km

Founded by the Half-Elves who left Domica to find the ancient Elven lands Yugoni is the least advanced nation in Solinas. The nation as whole is a loose collection of city states ruled by mighty chromatic dragons. The Half-Elves have adopted the draconic language and worship their dragon masters as living gods. The three prefectures of Yugoni are just as likely to be at war with another as they are at peace and the nation is in a perpetual state of chaos unless in danger from an outside force.


Rwanland
Capitol = Borgadur
Largest city = Malagesh
Official languages = Dwarven
Government = Democracy
Currency = Gold
Population = 87,000,000
Area = 4,052,600 sq km

The Dwarven nation of Rwanland is a democracy built into the rich Eramego mountain range. The government has a small federal head in Borgadur that works with the many Dwarven families that make up the different factions of the Dwarven race. Most of the cities are subterranean mountain forges with only small portions above ground. The export of fine minerals to Malico has made the nation very wealthy.


Malico
Capitol = Belimos
Largest city = Belimos
Official languages = Common, Dwarven
Government = Loose collection of trade unions
Currency = Gold
Population = 11,700,000
Area = 2,249,900 sq km

Malico is less a nation and more a collection of Halfling trade unions that move goods all over Solinas. They trade with all of the nations and have the largest navy. Some of the dragonborn who were pushed out of Domica in the war have relocated to Malico to work as labor and protection for the Malican trade ships.
