The Geography and Climate of II-htrae to all extents mirrors that of current Earth, with two exceptions; these are that II-htrae is ten times larger than Earth, and it is rotated 90 degrees. Population centers will be located in similar locations to our own world and will have thematically similar governments and cultures. (The arctic chinese and the desert russians.)
All Expansive Mountain ranges throughout II-htrae are controlled by the Empire of Connas, the current Emperor who's rule is absolute. Bording nations are greatly influenced by the Empire to such a degree that each Nation provides an annual tribute to the Empire, a tribute which ensures they are not annex. Many in the bordering nations feel that this Tribute is exhaustive, and are often regretfully their grumbling go no further than it currently does, so the Tribute continues for there is none bold enough or of sufficient strength to dare challenge the Might of the Empire of Connas.
As a Perspective who has been chosen for you abilities or by lot, you are part of that annual tribute to Connas; one that carries with you the hopes of your people or a subject of the Empire intent on becoming one of the Assemblies Elect or join with those who serve the Empire.
Because sand boxes work better when you can imagine where every thing is around you and because I always wanted to use this idea the world map will be based off this link.
