Karthoum (pronounced /kɑɹ.taʊ.ˈum/ [kar-tau-oom]) is the largest and most populated planet in the Tulsar Star System. It is considered the world capital of the Karthinian Empire and the Tulsa Star System. It has no known moons and orbits around the singular star, Tulsa. Karthoum's geography is heavily split across its equator between a temperate northern half and a volcanic southern half.

Karthoum's world capital is the Imperial Citadel, which lies as an independent district in the City of Minestra. Karthoum is, for the most part, united under the singular banner of the Karthian Empire, though it is the Karthian Collective that administrates most of the planet. There is one main country, Kartha, which oversees its several planetary districts, as well as the many tribal nations that like to be independent of the empire.

Geography

Karthoum is divided between eastern and western regions according to its tilted equator, which is actually based off of Karthoum's magnetic axis.

The northern half is a mainly flat, temperate continent with wild weather conditions, such as "star-snow", corrosive rain, and "Tulsa's Wrath", a planet-wide hurricane that occurs every two Karthinian years. This area is where most of Karthoum's population lives, and where most Karthite history was forged. It has now become mainly urbanized, with easy protection and protocols for the more damaging weather attacks.

The southern half is very mountainous, and full of volcanoes and magma. The air is thick and toxic, making the southern half nearly uninhabitable. The southern half of the planet remained uninhabited until the Karthian Collective decided to industrialize and mine the southern half of the planet (which had very valuable materials) in order to improve Karthoum's Economy. Now, industry and mining operations are abundant in the southern half, converting much of the volcanic ash and magma into pollution and power.

Continents

Karthoum is divided into two larger continents, Thrace and Torval, as well as two smaller continents, Ju and Wigsam. Thrace and Ju are located in the northern hemisphere, while Torval and Wigsam are located in the southern hemisphere.

Thrace

Lower Thrace

Thrace is the largest landmass in the northern hemisphere and the second-largest in the world. Thrace is mainly composed of the country of Kartha, as well as one or two smaller tribal nations. Thrace is largely urban and almost completely civilized, with only Imperial reserves to serve as the only place for natural wildlife.

Torval

Torval (demonym ???) is the largest landmass on Karthoum. It is situated predominantly in the southeastern quadrant, and is composed mainly of volcanoes and industrial centers. Kartha owns all of Torval, and is where most of Karthoum's industrial centers can be found.

Ju

Ju is a cluster of islands towards the north pole, and consists of all of the tribal nations of Karthoum.

Wigsam

Wigsam is a detached landmass of Torval and is almost entirely uninhabited, save for a small tribal settlement called Ash Terminal. The land is mainly used for radioactive and superweapon testing.

Countries

Kartha

Kartha is by far the largest, populous, and most powerful sovereign nation on Karthoum. It claims all of Torval and the main landmass of Thrace, totaling for more than 70% of all of Karthoum's land. It is controlled by the Karthinian Empire, and governed by the Karthian Collective. To properly rule over the large landmass, Kartha is broken up into 50 districts, including two self-administrating 'sovereign' districts, and assigns a specific purpose for each district.

The capital of Kartha is Minestra, while it's most populous city is Pennance. Other notable cities of Kartha include Elysium, Great Gilead, and Cassian City. The world capitol of Karthoum: The Imperial Citadel, can also be found within the walls of Minestra.

Tribal Nations

On Karthoum, there lies around 20 to 30 smaller "Tribal Nations" that inhabit some of the scattered Islands of Thrace, all of Ju, and even has inhabited Wigsam, in the form of Ash Terminal. All are very small, and even though they all express their independence, they are all kept under the Empire's thumb, kept under close watch and control with imperial millitary.

Here are the list of the currently notable Tribal Nations of Karthoum:

-Caridon is a Tribal nation in Lower Thrace, on the end of Thrace's mainland. It is one of the more successful and larger tribal nations, and it is the only tribal nation to occupy Thrace's mainland. It acts as a gambling district for Kartha, as it does not have one, and because of this, the two countries happen to form and maintain a thriving and wealthy relationship together. It's capital is Caridon City, and it's largest city is The Strip.

Landmarks

The tallest mountain is a volcano by the name of Ash Mountain, and is located in Wigsam.

The lowest elevation point is at the bottom of the Great Lake, located in the middle of Thrace.

Ecology

Due to technological innovations and massive urbanization, monster presence on Khartoum is minimal, and kept to a few well-controlled environmental reservations on Thrace.
