Chaxfaria is a large, underdeveloped, and unstable world. With many nations still being independent city-states and tribal chiefdoms, power has barely been secured anywhere. The few nations that have made a name for themselves are constantly tearing each other apart in attempt to consolidate their power. 

• The Galian Empire is an expansionist imperial authority with not much in its way to complete regional domination. It looked prepared to expand even more until the assassination of Emperor Hypor by an Uykoyan mercenary. Then, the Galian Empire had completely secluded itself from any outside threats. It built the Saciq Forts in the east and the Qogoc Forts in the north, being the perfect prevention for any regional conflicts. Not long after finishing these forts, the Galian Empire declared war on Ujkoy. The Galian-Ujkoyan conflicts would last for hundreds of years, on and off, without any peace in sight. 

• The Ujkoyan Confederation is a union-state between all of the culturally indistinguishable cities north of the Olvyiian Mountains. The two largest cities are Ujkoy and Ivpople. It became the dominant naval powerhouse of the world, having to rely mostly on naval trading since its creation. The dry deserts to the south and the hot plains to the north only added to its need to trade with outside nations. It stayed generally peaceful until the Galians declared war. It was able to easily defend itself at sea, but if the Galians managed even one good naval invasion, the Ujkoyans would have to rely entirely on hired mercenaries to fight for them. The war had also greatly affected their trade-empire, with the Galians constantly attempting naval blockades against the Ujkoyans. The safest area for Ujkoyan trading vessels was across the coast of Eyvippolis, leading to the rise in power of Eyvippolis. The Ujkoyan Confederation was also responsible for the popularization of the Mercantile Language used across the entire world. 

• The Kingdom of Opmapoly is a geographically isolated nation. It is almost completely enshrouded in the Olvyiian Mountains and frozen southern seas. The two small strips of land it can go through have been entirely blocked off by the Fortresses of Haen and Rituz. Opmapoly may not have a huge international standing, but it was able to consolidate a lot of power in the little amount of land it had. 

• Eyvippolis SSR is a communist city-state with immense economic power. From humble origins as a small trading post to a remarkably rich nation, Eyvippolis had always kept good relations with its neighbors. It had always kept a policy of complete diplomatic neutrality unless its own independence was threatened. This is why many (especially during the Galian-Ujkoyan Wars) turn to them as a middle-ground for trading and diplomacy. 

• The Haenish are a large ethnic group spanning across the Haenish Forest and its surrounding plains. Opmapoly (and the world as a whole) see the Haenish as an unadvanced, nomadic, and barbaric group of people who will do whatever as long as they get paid, but this isn’t necessarily the case. The Haenish have several outposts and cities (the largest being Ejmisnk) that each have their own unique style of government. The Haenish also won several conflicts against Opmapoly, which lead to the creation of the Fortress of Haen. 

• The Inegrad Duchy is the most advanced city in the east. It always kept an aggressively defensive foreign policy. It’s also a go-to tourist destination for a lot of the western countries. 

• Most of the other eastern nations and cities are small chiefdoms and nomadic peoples. Some of the more considerably advanced of the mix are Aaguzgrad, Ryzori, and Obdaq.
