Planaya

Planaya is one of the largest nations of Galamion.

Geography

Planaya is the largest of the nations, dominating half a continent. It stretches to the Jasperian Sea and contains the largest harbor on the Eastern coast. Running through the country is the River Consordia, whose source is Lake Makaya in the Feretrenne Mountains. Planaya houses some of the Feretrenne's largest peaks and are used for the observatories.

Economy

A somewhat Communist economy tightly entwined with the educational system. The people who are not willing to put effort into their education are forced to do hard labor. Later they take a test and if they fail, they learn a trade. Another test is taken,which is impossible to fail if you've made it that far, and you get sent to university and become someone great in the country. Most budgeting is put towards education and research into science and technology, and the technology is frequently put towards the military and general increasing in the quality of life.

Notable Cities

Carginy

Population: 257,825

Location: Near the mouth of the River Consordia and on the Jasperian Sea.

Description: A bustling port city filled with travellers, hence the low population. Carginy is the main source of money in the land of Planaya, as it is the first stop any smart sailor would make if he was journeying up river or going out to sea. It isn't quite as well kept as Estrella is, and frequently people are scammed by shadier characters. It is also home to Planaya's largest black market. If journeying here, one must watch their back and their pockets.

Some parts of the city can be well kept and pleasant, but when you reach the slums, they can be quite pathetic poorly managed. The slums are home to Planaya's massive black market system, and all sorts of shady deals take place here. It's miraculous how well hidden they are, to the point where the police are almost unaware of it being an issue.

Culture & Religion

Planayans are obsessed with the stars and believe that when people die, they become a star. To them, the moon is the god of death since it guards the souls of their dead loved ones at night, and the sun is the god of life since it watches over the living during the day.
