((Some of the names here are the same as real world names, so it should be known that my feelings toward people from Virginia, the secret police, etc. are not reflected by how I portray the people and places with the same name.))

The following is fact recorded by the Second Union of Chronicle Keepers. It is the unbiased truth of the way the world is. If you disagree or don't like it, please report yourself to the local authorities. Thank you. :)

 

Pein

Geography: Pein is the second largest country by size, and probably has the Greatest population (people in Pein don't care about censuses). It's western border touches Melrikk and it's southern border touches Kelji. Pein is mostly dense forest and jungle with some fields near the isle of Bornje (off the east coast) and the Kelji border. In the center of Pein is the world's largest lake, Brittany. The only notable city is Tsiedd (the nation's "capital" on lake Brittany"

History: no known written history of Pein has been kept until recent years, when Tsiedd (and island on Brittany) was settled by Toby Portman of Melrikk. Nothing interesting enough to be noted has happened yet.

Government: Toby Portman has declared himself king of Pein and, though nobody disagrees with him, his "subjects" don't do much to try to obey any of his orders.

Life in Pein: If one decided to live in Pein outside of Tsiedd, one would be lucky to live very long. The forests and jungles are full of wild beasts, cannibals, poison plants and many other dangers. The roads aren't much better as they have many bandits. If you MUST travel in Pein, it's best to travel in a large group with well trained escorts. Inside Tsiedd, on the other hand, is relatively safe and Toby isn't too bad a dude if you stay on his good side (he likes rich people).



Anglica

Geography: Anglica is the smallest nation by size and has the least citizens. It is a small, mountainous island off the northern coast of Melrikk. The Anglican coasts are mostly cliffs with the only shore accessible by ship is in the south eastern corner. The most notable cities are Glashier (a trading port on the southeast shore) and Sunton (the nation's Capital on Ques plateau near Skyler spring)

History: Anglica has stayed politically neutral in the past and has been aloof to world affairs. This has given them the opportunity to make many scientific breakthroughs, such as the hovercraft, the steam powered sauna and the self inking quill (or pen).

Government: The law in Anglica is strict and elaborate, though some leeway is given to tourists and traders. The country is ruled by a the citizens as well as a high council who's members represent those citizens.

Life in Anglica:



Melrikk

Geography: Melrikk is the largest country by size and (probably) has the second largest Population. It lies between Virginia (west) and Pein (east). Melrikk is very flat with some hilled land in the south east, mountains in the north west and lake Colette in the middle, towards the Pein border. The notable cities are Northport (you can figure that one out by it's name), Psychopolis (the largest city, at the foot of the northwestern mountains), Saultien (the capital city on the west shore of lake Colette), The Twilight Bizarre (a trading town on the Pein border), Shoalton (on the island of *squeaking noise* off the south eastern coast) Bedrock (a town south of Psychopolis famous for it's very large stone quarry), Springfield (a southwestern melon farming town), Feurberg (a mining town in the hills), and Southpark (on the southern shore)

History: In the beginning of recorded time, people left Pein and entered what is now known as Melrikk. Immediately they built a wall to keep themselves separated from their savage motherland. The country developed with King Gerrard i as it's sovereign ruler. When he died, his son took his place as king and tormented the country then known as Flobannia (lame name) with an iron fist and another iron fist. He was overthrown by the great hero, William Melrikk i and ever since, the kingdom has been the most powerful and bestest in the world.

Government: The Great King, William Melrikk iv rules Melrikk with wisdom and justice. The Keepers Of Peace (or kops) enforce the law he in his astuteness, makes, while the secret police, who report directly to the king, make sure the kops, lords and other officials stay loyal to the throne and incorrupt. Recently the good king has outlawed alcohol. The rum-runners will get their due.

Life in Melrikk: children are offered wonderful educations and it's customary for them to apprentice under someone by the age of fifteen. And if someone can't find a job by the time they're twenty, the state does them a favor of giving them an occupation. Usually men have more physical job (miner, blacksmith, kop) while women have jobs that deal with more people face to face (clerk, doctor, diplomat), though it's not unheard of to have some crossover with female masons or male couriers and such.



Virginia

Geography: Virginia is the third smallest country by size and second smallest by population. It's eastern border touches Melrikk and to the west oversea is Pein. Virginia has glassy deserts in the south and mountains and volcanoes in the north. Notable cities are End (on the western-most cliff of the Hkav mountains), Golt (an underground city) and Fyeegie (near the Melrikk border).

History: Too harsh an environment to be worth settling, Virginia was walled off by Melrikk and is where criminals are sent when exiled.

Government: Organized crime rules the major cities of Virginia while the smaller towns have little if any law at all.

Life in Virginia: Most of the time one spends in Virginia is used trying not to get stabbed in the back. Just don't go there, it's a terrible place full of terrible people.



Kelji

Geography: Kelji is the second smallest country by size and third smallest by population. It's northern border touches Pein. Kelji looks to a first time visitor like an Utopian paradise, with gentle hills of nothing but kudzu and fruit trees as far as the eye can see.

History: N/A

Government: N/A

Life in Kelji: Those people are flitting crazy, man. They're nude and they just poop and eat and get all the time. And I heard if you stay there long enough, you start acting like them. That's some real weird %$&@ right there, man.

((I doubtlessly left some things out as Tuich is a very big place. So, if you have any questions or comments, just post them or PM me. Also, this Campaign will take place in west Melrikk and south east Virginia, so please make your character end up in that area by the end of your first post.))

    Alcohol has been outlawed in Melrikk. The Virginian mafia has been using stolen ships to smuggle rum, moonshine and vodka into the kingdom. Kops on the western borders and in *squeak* have tried to deal with it but the smugglers keep finding new and more ingenious ways of sneaking their goods past port customs. Because of this, it's been decided by Lord Stoner of the northwest district to start a campaign that attacks this organized crime at it's source, the mob's boss, Baliles.

"I must assemble a posse!"

Patrick had an official letter from Lord Stoner in his hands. The letter read as this

"To Kop. Patrick Miles of the Bedrock Peacekeeping Office. From Areo, the castle of Brandon Stoner, lord of the northwestern district. You are charged with stopping the smuggling of alcohol into the great kingdom of Melrikk, by eliminating the Virginian mob boss, Gerald Baliles. These orders come from King William Melrikk the fourth and should be followed out as such, quickly and thoroughly. I suggest you assemble only a small party as you will need to be discreet. There is an informant you'll meet with in Fyeegie. Don't worry about finding him, he'll find you. Enclosed is a class C order card for going into Virginia, gaining classified information and et cetera. Best of love be with you!"

Patrick held the card gently. It was holographic, it had the kings stamp on it, it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

"wha's dat?" a voice over Patrick's shoulder asked. "It's nothing and you're not invited, Justin!" Patrick called back as he went out the door of the office into the Bedrock streets. Justin yelled "You can't just leave!" from the doorway. Patrick made a very rude gesture and told Justin he could "suck lemons" as he ran down the street with a wallet full of official business and a heart full of excitement.

 He wasn't quite sure as to where he was running or what he was going to do next but he was next to a bakery so he decided to make his plans in there while eating a muffin. As he ordered a pumpkin caramel muffin, Justin walked in. Justin Brown was an annoying, ugly, little man. He was transferred to the Bedrock peace keeping from the Saultein Medicinal Research Academy, as a practical joke by Brett McGee in vocational dispatch on Jim Johnson who was the chief kop in Bedrock. Jim retired to Northport shortly after.

"you can't just leave. I'm tellin' the boss." Justin whined to Patrick. Patrick noticed the baker was having trouble smiling as Justin spoke, and this is very odd because she spent half her life on perfecting baked goods and smiles. Patrick replied "YOU can't just leave. I on the other hand have been given permission from Lord Stoner to do whatever the datch I want." "huh?" Justin had an especially stupid look on his face. Patrick took out his wallet and showed Justin the card. "Awesome!" Justin exclaimed. "Yeah, I know." said Patrick as he flipped his wallet closed in such a way that it almost hit Justin in the face. "Now, if I'm not mistaken, and I'm not, you have about two minutes 'til the boss man finds out you're gone. I'd think you wouldn't want him upset at you again after what happened last time." Justin's eyes got wide as he turned around and sprinted out the door, tripping as he went down the porch steps of the bakery and making a very loud thud on the pavement.

By this time, Patrick's muffin was done baking and he ate it with a cup of milk as he planned the adventure set before him...
