Kingdom of Lugunica-The Kingdom of Lugnica is the farthermost eastern country on the continent. The capital city is divided into five circular layers who are also known as districts, with the highest and first layer being for royalty, the second, for the nobility, third for economic and commercial reasons, fourth for the average citizen and the lowest layer for the poor, which is also known as the Poor District.
Starting with the Royal Capital Lugnica with a population of around 300,000 in the center, five other large regional capitals with populations of 200,000 to 300,000 are placed around it in a pentagram shape. There are other small cities, towns, villages, and settlements dotted throughout.
Lugnica is also referred to as the Dragon Kingdom Lugnica (親竜王国ルグニカ Shinryū Ōkoku Rugunika), having prospered due to the covenant with "The Dragon". As all members of the royal family are deceased, martial law is currently in effect, with the Sage Council taking over for the time being. In accordance with the prophecy tablet, five women were selected as candidates to become the new king.
The best mages of each of the six elements are given a color title (『色』の称号 Iro no Shougou), which are aliases that show their skill with a particular element. These titles were first created when Lugnica reorganized the basis of their magic system following the Demi Human War. Currently, Blue (water) belongs to ________, Red (fire), Green (wind), and Yellow (earth) are ________, and black (yin) and white (yang) are _________.
The country worships Volcanica as its national deity and he is bound by a covenant established with the members of the royal family centuries ago.
Coinage in Lugnica comes in four known types coins. The lowest denomination of coin is the copper coin which has the figure of the royal castle on it. The second denomination of coin is the silver coin which has the figure of the sage on it. The third denomination of coin is the gold coin which has the figure of the first sword saint on it. And finally, the most valuable coin is the sacred gold coin, which has the figure of the dragon on it.
The price of things changes from time to time, especially in trade of vital resources in Lugnica like iron products and mana stones. However it's been mentioned that in recent years the country has been going through a economic downturn, further exacerbated after being hit by a great famine just a year ago despite the current recovery which has left its finances unstable.
Lugunica's national army are the Kingdom Knights which are currently headed by _________. Beyond them there are various provincial armies that help defend the country's border governed by regional lords.
Kararagi - Kararagi is similar to Japan in various ways, such as speaking in a Kansai dialect, having an architectural style known as Wafuu, and a food similar to okonomiyaki known as daisukiyaki.
Based on the official name of Kararagi given by Julius, it can be inferred that the country is a city state. However, it's unknown whether it is only one city state or includes a group of city states.
Slavery is legal in most parts of Kararagi. However, it is illegal to enslave someone in Banan whose existence is secured. Conversely, it's legal to enslave street children as long as you're not seen doing so.
Shinobi's, who are skilled spies and assassins that are known to be employed by other powers, originate from Kararagi.
Each city state has a representative, known as Mayors (都市長), and all of them vote to decide the country's representative who is referred to as the Consul General (大総領). There are ten great cities in Kararagi in total, numbered from one to ten.
The Volakia Empire- The Vollachia Empire is blessed with fertile soil, mild weather, and the temperature remains relatively the same throughout the year. In addition, they have a large number of skilled magic stone craftsmen, but only have a few spirit users. Their flag is a defiant wolf impaled by some swords. Because it is a meritocracy it doesn't place as much weight in race or status compared to other nations making it arguably the one of better places for Demi-humans to live in some respects. However because of its emphasis on ability above all else the weak and disabled are crushed or left behind under it's society.
The nation highly prides itself in having a strong military and has a national creed of "soldiers should always be strong", resulting even in lower ranked soldiers being exceptionally strong. Vollachia typically has bad relations with Lugnica, resulting in skirmishes between the two countries from time to time.
Due to their militaristic society, Vollachia has the strongest standing army out of the 4 great powers on the continent. The nine strongest members of the Vollachia Military are dubbed the Nine Divine Generals (九神将 Kyuushinshou) and have considerable influence within the country.
Below them, the imperial army consists of 5 ranks which are listed in order from lowest to highest: Soldier (兵卒, Heisotsu), First-Class Soldier (上等兵, Jōtō-hei), Third-Class General (三将,Sanshou), Second-Class General (二将, Nishou) and First-Class General (一将, Isshou). Those who reach the rank of "general" are no longer required to wear armor, furthermore "First-Class Generals" are equivalent to a Lugnican commander of a knight order in authority. The "Nine Divine Generals" are actually a distinguished group of "First-Class Generals" who sit on the upper echelon of the military. They have their own sub-hierarchy numbering from one-nine with lower number denoting higher rank.
Gusteko - It is a theocracy currently ruled by a mad prince. As it is located in the north, Gusteko has a cold climate and dangerous mountains, which are a very hard environment for people and animals to live in. Because of the eternal snowfall, only cold-tolerant crops can be planted. Instead of animal husbandry, there are many mountains in the steep mountains with magical ore, relying on the mining industry and dealing with magic ore to maintain national strength. Spirits are far more commonplace in Gusteko, than any other country, and thus, the reverence of spirits has become incorporated into the national teachings of the Gustekan church.
The ruler of Gusteko goes by the name of the Holy King and is chosen during an election by Odglass. It is mentioned that the race, blood and origin don't matter for candidates of becoming the Holy King.
An assassin organization led by a person known only as Mama is also based in the country.
