Kingdom of Rana
Introduction
The Kingdom of Rana is a constitutional and elective monarchy located directly south of India and west of Australia. It is ruled by a king who is chosen by a collection of tribal chiefs, each one represents one of the diverse people groups found on the island. The nation is well known as a biodiversity hotspot, and is home to many species of plants and animals. The rugged, mountainous terrain is sparsely populated, and the coast is home to many fishing villages. The capital, Sevana, is located in a cleared area of land in the southern part of the main island, Asava. The area has a tropical climate characterized by heavy year-round rainfall. Higher elevations experience cold temperatures and even snow during winter. The highest point is Raka Volcano. The upland areas are extremely arid and cool and not suitable for agriculture, the main industry of the nation.


The country was first settled by Bantu people from East Africa. Later, Polynesians traveling westward from the Pacific settled in the southern islands. Explorers and merchants from India established trading posts in the island. During colonization by European nations, Portugal gained control of the northern islands, establishing the colony of the Ranho. The Kingdom of Rana was established in 1904, and gained control of the small northern islands, called the Sayvat Belt, in 1967.



Geography
There are four provinces, the Northern Province, Savyat Province, Sevana Province, and Masareva province. The capital of the country, Sevana, has a population of 48,200 and is located at approximately 2,000 feet above sea level.
The main river, the Sol river, is the primary source of fresh water for many of the island’s inhabitants.



One of the many pink lakes, Kata Lake, located west of Sevana, is located in the Kingdom of Rana. This unique occurrence is the result of the presence of algae in the water.

The Moor

On the moor the secrets hide In the burrows on the hillside They feed the flowers, bowing deep And among the vines, how far they creep In the village, they skulk and deceive The jewels and gems they do reave Among the wraiths the secrets wander And with the mages they will ponder To resurrect the fallen and maunder In the depths of night they glide Leading the forsaken as a guide Everywhere, the secrets hide.

Where I'm From: Rurriquog

I am from nuts and bolts, From rocket fuel and air canisters I am from the verdant surface and vast lakes of Rurriquog, The sun-bleached rocks, the misty cloud forests, and the barren, expansive deserts I am from the tangled roots of invading trees Their long, powerful arms encroaching upon my alien world I’m from the vibrant tapestries of the Rurriquogians, and their idyllic temples From Commander Uskari, and King Matareiri I’m from huts and palaces, suspended miles above the cloudy jungle. From the stories of Kiray the knight, and his many adventures I’m from tall peaks and forests, obscured by the cool, refreshing mist And my trustworthy spacecraft, worn by years of rain and wind I am from galaxies strewn with streaks of stars and planets From frozen mountains and scorching plains, And the cacophonous sound of great cities, illuminated by warm, golden light I’m from the hunter’s spear, rusted and coated with the blood of beasts I am from the planet ...
