Country Name: The North Pole
Capital City: N/A.
Form of Government: N/A.
Current Leader's Name: N/A.
Population: roughly 1,000
Physical Description: What is there that one can say about the North Pole? For one thing it�s cold, probably one of the coldest places on Crimson for that matter, even when not in winter this Antarctic is a lethal environment. At midday the temperature reaches heights of �20c but when that sun finally sets over the horizon the temperatures plummet beyond belief, in fact it�s not known exactly how cold it becomes during the night. You�d see nothing but a white blanket of untouched snow and ice that reaches out into the horizon in this place, a place of tremendous beauty yet natural danger.
Historical/ Cultural Description: To be quite honest with you the North Pole has no history unless you count the family trees of polar bears or penguins as vital and important history, if so then let me know and I�ll inform you of them. Other than a few scientific settlements the North Pole would be nearly devoid of all Human life, even with the settlements that�s nearly so.
Country Name: The South Pole
Capital City: N/A.
Form of Government: N/A.
Current Leader's Name: N/A.
Population: Unknown.
Physical Description: The South Pole is much like the North in many ways yet at the exact same time it�s completely different too. Much like the North Pole the South is extremely cold, in fact it�s the coldest place on the entire planet and I�ll explain why now but o explain why the South Pole is so cold I first have to explain the differences between the two places. Now a major difference between the North and South Poles is the fact that the only form of life that live in the South Pole are creatures that have adapted to the extremely low temperatures and the environment, and being that the South Pole is one huge complete sheet of solid ice that�s not many at all.
Historical/ Cultural Description: Much like the North Pole the South Pole doesn�t have a history in the sense of a normal country but there is an interesting story behind it. Up until a point in history the North and South Poles were completely identical, you could have even said they were �twin countries� in a sense. Now this all changed, the exact reason for this is unknown but it is thought that due to the country being at the bottom of the planet the sun never completely reached that part of the planet and over time it solidified. Although this is only speculation it would also explain why it�s considerably colder on the South Pole.
Country Name: The Guardian�s Tower
Capital City: N/A.
Form of Government: N/A.
Current Leader's Name: Currently unknown.
Population: 1-5.
Physical Description: The actual tower itself rests at an amazing height in the sky, even higher than the clouds themselves. The tower itself is kept up by a huge pole that rests centre of its structure, from the actual lookout all the way down to bellow the ground. The centred pole is in fact 40ft thick, which is most likely a good thing as it�s the foundation for the entire Guardians tower and all the weight rests upon it. The centre pole then expands outward into the main lookout where the guardian dwells. The main lookout itself is nothing less than perfection. Although the population of this wondrous place is no more than 8, the lookout itself could house at least 5,000 people, possibly more if they squashed together. Resembling that of an abnormally large house, the lookout has all of the main rooms, such as sleeping quarters, bathing areas, a kitchen and even a training chamber. The top floor is almost a gigantic balcony that takes up the entire size of the look out, reaching out in all directions, North, South, East and West. The actual country that the Guardian�s tower is based on is a country of much beauty, and for a country with endless grassy fields and blossoming flowers you would expect its population to be higher right? Wrong. Due to this being the home to the supposed Guardian of the planet people almost see this as sacred ground hence not wishing to dishonour the guardian by living there, although there are the odd few disbelievers or mainly people who just don�t give a damn.
Historical/ Cultural Description: The training chamber is endless in size; the gravity inside is heavier than that in the normal world of Crimson, almost 20x heavier in fact. It is also said that with permission from the Guardian, a person or group of up to 5 people could gain 2 years worth of training inside this chamber and upon leaving only a day would have passed (Think Hyperbolic Time Chamber in DBZ). The actual creation of the Guardians Tower is unknown but in the earliest historic recording it is said to have been there before time itself started. The Guardian of Crimson was said to come down to the world below in times of need to protect the planet he guarded and the people who lived there, but throughout time its been noticed that the Guardian tended to change their appearance every so often, which logically says that the Guardian had to change after a time period. Not much is known of the current Guardian or whom he even is as he hasn�t been called upon to do anything in the last 200-300 years. Perhaps time will tell all.
Country Name: The Crater.
Capital City: N/A.
Form of Government: N/A.
Current Leader's Name: N/A.
Population: N/A.
Physical Description: The secret to the country by the name of �The Crater� is in it�s name. Now as much as calling the crater a country that�s far from the truth considering that the population of this place is slim to none, quite like the actual country itself, and I�ll explain exactly what I mean now. The crater isn�t like many of the places upon Crimson, mainly due to the fact that it is in fact nothing more than a gigantic hole in the planets surface that goes down deep into the planet�s core. There are four craters in total, the huge main one and three smaller ones surrounding it. Imagine a great waterfall in all its beauty, and now imagine that around the entire perimeter of each individual crater. Deep down within the depths of Crimson, within the depths of the crater, not much is actually known about what lies there, the appearance can only be guessed upon mainly. As far as known down within the crater is a system of caves all intertwining amongst a flowing river system but further in than that is a mystery.
Historical/ Cultural Description: Exactly how the crater appeared upon Crimson is near a complete mystery. What is thought is that many long years ago a great battle either between men of the world or the four Knights of the Blood Seal took place and left in their wake destruction on such a powerful magnitude that Crimson would be permanently scared. Thus the crater was born. Now this is nothing but rumour and estimation but what is known is that none who have entered into the crater have come back to tell the tale. Whatever resides deep down within the depths of the planet is an ongoing mystery that may never truly be uncovered.
Continent Name: Ythan.
Country Name: Sigon.
Capital City: Trahan.
Form of Government: Theocracy, ruled by the church.
Current Leader's Name: Religious leader, Artemis.
Population: 9,874,676.
Physical Description: Sigon to be described in a few short words would be rain forest. They say that at the precise moment that the great continent began to break in two, life instantly began to sprout on the sacred ground. Both great amounts of flora and fauna covered the landscape. Trees as tall as skyscrapers, plants of great beauty and animals to match. Throughout the jungle type area are settlements also of great beauty, yet the capital city is where the great church was built soon after the continent split, and to this day is still standing. One a bright and sunny day, when the sunlight shines brightly through the tree branches above, the light that filters through the coloured glass windows of the majority of the buildings throughout the country is truly magnificent, especially at night when lights from the inside shine outward and create what is now called �the Sigon lights�.
Historical/ Cultural Description: Once many years ago now the entire continent known as Ythan was taken over by a man who ruled over Benzinct, a man by the name of Lord Tyson Tyron. He raged war over the world with the people of the continent either fully behind him or behind him through fear of being killed for treason. For many years life continued on this way with millions of innocents dieing under Lord Tyron, that was until the revolution of the people. Now many say that the Knights of the blood seal had something to do with Lord Tyron being overthrown and driven back to his country of Benzinct, yet many also say it was alone the people who revolted, either way the war of the world and the rule of the tyrant was ended by normal people. Many years have passed since those days yet the way of life has forever been changed on the continent. Originally Sigon was the last country to fall to Lord Tyron, and almost as soon as it fell the revolt started, some say the revolution began in Sigon, other say it began because Sigon was taken, who knows, all that it known is that Sigon is the sacred land of the �great religion� of Crimson. Long ago Crimson was mostly made up of just one gigantic continent and it was here that the battle that was meant to be the end to all battles took place. It�s said that because of the catastrophic power that the knight all held when working together the foundation of the continent broke over those few minutes of turmoil that was the battle, the two broken parts of the continent are what make up Ythan and Nipola. It was said that Sigon was the actual place where the Knights all stood together for the first time and thus making it the sacred land.
Continent Name: Ythan.
Country Name: Pekard.
Capital City: N/A.
Form of Government: Anarchy/Lawlessness, people rule over themselves.
Current Leader's Name: N/A.
Population: 20,865,432.
Physical Description: Pekard is a modern day mixture of nature and civilisation. With a constant mixture of both throughout the entire landscape of this country its sometimes hard to distinguish where one finishes and the other begins. The nature side of the country consists mainly of plain fields of grass with the odd woodland here and there, and with a healthy amount of fauna too a natural cycle sustains itself. The civilisation aspect of things consists of mainly the villages that are based all across the countryside of Pekard, there are very little points of this country where you cannot look out across it and not see a village based here and there, but because all the villages are the same size and with roughly the same population in each there is no need for a capital city.
Historical/ Cultural Description: Once many years ago now the entire continent known as Ythan was taken over by a man who ruled over Benzinct, a man by the name of Lord Tyson Tyron. He raged war over the world with the people of the continent either fully behind him or behind him through fear of being killed for treason. For many years life continued on this way with millions of innocents dieing under Lord Tyron, that was until the revolution of the people. Now many say that the Knights of the blood seal had something to do with Lord Tyron being overthrown and driven back to his country of Benzinct, yet many also say it was alone the people who revolted, either way the war of the world and the rule of the tyrant was ended by normal people. Many years have passed since those days yet the way of life has forever been changed on the continent. After the great revolt of Ythan the country known as Pekard was never the same. A once vibrant and full of life country became almost dull in comparison, but this was mainly due to the fact that Pekard, being the largest country on the continent, became a sort of un-official force that made sure that the son of Lord Tyson Tyron, Lord Agen Tyron, didn�t try to follow in his fathers footsteps. Although the Knights of the blood seal had said that they would be the protectors of the planet and make sure that war would never again creep across the planet, after the second great war of Crimson the people of Pekard became very suspicious of the knights very existence. Being a country without laws, a government or even a leader this was an extremely hard task to uphold and over the many years its almost completely been forgotten about, mainly due to the fact that Lord Agen Tyron is nothing like his father. Nowadays the people of Pekard live a simple yet peaceful life, and they ask for nothing more than that.
Continent Name: Ythan.
Country Name: Benzinct.
Capital City: New Xion.
Form of Government: Dictatorship, ruled by one supreme ruler.
Current Leader's Name: Lord Agen Tyron.
Population: 16,967,453.
Physical Description: Benzinct is much like Pekard on the surface, it mixes civilisation with nature, and the only difference would be that instead of villages covering Benzinct�s surface much closes cities can be found, jam-packed with life and movement. After the second Great War a lot of Benzinct�s natural beauty was lost and much of the flora and fauna had been destroyed, but thanks to Lord Agen the country was at least half restored back to it�s original beauty. Once again life starts to return to this once nearly dead country, but there are still parts of the country that are dead and can never be restored, that is the course of the country it seems.
Historical/ Cultural Description: Once many years ago now the entire continent known as Ythan was taken over by a man who ruled over Benzinct, a man by the name of Lord Tyson Tyron. He raged war over the world with the people of the continent either fully behind him or behind him through fear of being killed for treason.

Many years have passed since those days yet the way of life has forever been changed on the continent. With the end of the second great war of the world came the timely death of Lord Tyson Tyron, ruler of Benzinct. Many thought it to be an assassination, but with little proof and with the rest of the world at his throat it wasn�t something that was completely unexpected, and so the country fell into the young son, Agen Tyron. Many believed that the rule of a country so soon after its defeat in war was too much for a young boy of eight to take on, but Agen ruled with strict yet fair laws unlike his father, and soon enough the world saw that it wasn�t right to blame the son for the fathers mistakes and everything return back to normal, leaving peace in the wake of great evil. To this very day that peace has stayed in the land of Benzinct, and Agen, now much older, upholds that peace with his rule.
Continent Name: Ythan
Country Name: TND - The Nubian Desert.
Capital City: N/A.
Form of Government: Anarchy/Lawlessness, people rule over themselves.
Current Leader's Name: N/A.
Population: Unknown.
Physical Description: Much like the name this country is one huge desert yet without a leader, form of government, cities or even a population worth counting this place isn�t much of an actual country and more a �you get what you see� kind of place. With and dune and rolling hills of golden sand as far as the eye can see and beyond, this place is most defiantly the hottest place on Crimson reaching recorded temperatures from anything between ninety and one hundred and twenty in midday but during the nights the temperature drops below zero. Anyone would think it was the South Pole at times. Due to the extreme temperatures here oases are short in numbers, and the cities, or settlements, follow in suit. Usually the settlements would consist of nothing more than a few tents or wagons.
Historical/ Cultural Description: Throughout time the history of this place has not changed in the slightest, mainly because there is no great history behind a place that consists of ninety-nine percent of sand. Once upon a time an ancient war between the very few people of the desert and the neighbouring country of Benzinct raged on in the great desert. The leader of Benzinct at the time, Lord Tyson Tyron, was full of greed and hatred towards the world and he saw an opportune chance for even more power, hence the reason for the start of the second great war of Crimson. The Nubian Desert was the first to fall under the tyrant, but since the end of the war the Desert has fallen back into it�s state of nothingness, just how the people who live there like it.
Continent Name: Nipola.
Country Name: Tilbert.
Capital City: Tilberton.
Form of Government: Monarchy, ruled by royalty.
Current Leader's Name: Alex Zolovido.
Population: 19,765,846.
Physical Description: Tilbert is a land in its simplest form. Completely covered in flat fertilised soil and grass, the entire country is perfect for farming and that�s how the country brings in most of its profit. Scattered across the landscape of Tilbert are farm after farm, mixed in with the odd village or city, the capital city, Tilberton, is without a doubt the largest of them all in this country and also holds some of the largest farms too. Tilbert is the simplest looking country out of the three on this continent, and because of that life seems to move slower here when compared to Becken where everything is always moving extremely fast. Without a doubt a peaceful country in every sense of the word, that�s for sure.
Historical/ Cultural Description: Many years ago there was a country on Crimson, probably the largest country of the entire planet, which went by the name of Nipola. A truthful and powerful king by the name of Alexander Zolovido ruled it and everyone under his rule respected him. The country was indeed a great place to be. Alexander had three children, three twin boys to be exact, Alex, Christopher and Hyran. He brought them up as he had been and always taught them the fundamental things in life, as well as the �old code� followed by valiant Knights of days old. Alas, in the battle against Milo Maskaban, leader of Xion, Alexander was killed leaving his three children, who were still only but babies, to the throne of the country. Of course the country immediately went in to the hands of the government under the king but as soon as the children came of age it was handed to them to decide their future. The country was spilt into three sections with each child having a section of their own to rule over. The land now known as Tilbert went to the son named partially after his father, Alex. Ruling over his people with great kindness and fairness, Alex follows in his father example and tries to uphold the traditions that he was brought up with. Although all three brothers rule over separate parts of Nipola they still all very much care for each other and support each other in anyway that�s needed, making this continent either a great friend or a deadly enemy. And so the days of the King are now over and the days of the Kings had arrived upon Nipola.
Continent Name: Nipola.
Country Name: Becken.
Capital City: Travin.
Form of Government: Monarchy, ruled by royalty.
Current Leader's Name: Christopher Zolovido.
Population: 9,990,768.
Physical Description: Becken isn�t like any ordinary country on Crimson, then again there isn�t really many ordinary countries left on Crimson, the entire country up to three hundred miles of it�s borders is one huge city, the capital and only city in fact. If it had to be described I would say that this city reminded me of the Tudor times of Earth yet with a modern tilt in technology, the beautiful aspects of the past mixed with the technology of the present, ying and yang I suppose you could say. Past the edges of the city the land isn�t much but almost dead. No flora can sustain itself out here even though several attempts have been made.

The country was spilt into three sections with each child having a section of their own to rule over. The land now known as Becken went to the son named Christopher. More sophisticated than his brothers are and father was, Christopher believes that progress is the only way forward, this is mainly why most, if not all, of the beliefs that he grew up with have been dropped in his kingdom, yet he still wishes to treat his people fairly and with great kindness like his brothers do and his father would have. Although all three brothers rule over separate parts of Nipola they still all very much care for each other and support each other in anyway that�s needed, making this continent either a great friend or a deadly enemy. And so the days of the King are now over and the days of the Kings had arrived upon Nipola.
Continent Name: Nipola.
Country Name: Zithica.
Capital City: Molvio.
Form of Government: Monarchy, ruled by royalty.
Current Leader's Name: Hyran Zolovido.
Population: 14,860,974.
Physical Description: Zithica is completely made up from mountains and Hyran, the leader, has used this to he�s advantage in great ways. Being that the entire southern region of Nipola is covered in mountains the whole area consist mainly of dark browns and blacks, and the structures for either the capital city or several settlements around the country are too made from these colours as they were all created from natural resources from the surrounding area. With the strongholds, cities and villages all being made from the mountains all around them, and with the majority of the country being raised high up into the mountains it gives sanctuary from invading countries in the future, a great asset indeed.

The country was spilt into three sections with each child having a section of their own to rule over. The land now known as Zithica went to the son named Hyran. Many would say that Hyran did indeed get the short straw when the land was split, mainly because the land of his kingdom is completely made up from mountains being that his kingdom is based in the southern region of Nipola. Hyran is the only brother whom has strayed slightly from his father�s kindness, believing that ruling with a certain level of fear is required to sustain a peaceful environment and cause other countries that wish to invade to think twice before doing so. Although all three brothers rule over separate parts of Nipola they still all very much care for each other and support each other in anyway that�s needed, making this continent either a great friend or a deadly enemy. And so the days of the King are now over and the days of the Kings had arrived upon Nipola.
Country Name: The Outlands.
Capital City: Gravestone.
Form of Government: Military Dictatorship, ruled by the military.
Current Leader's Name: Admiral Janus Poseidon.
Population: 23,800,643.
Physical Description: Once a country of extreme beauty, all that remains of that beauty is a wasteland of mad and destruction. As far as the eye can see across the horizon of this country nothing can be truly called beautiful anymore, not in the eyes of the sane at least, and on top of it�s even more rare to come across something alive in these parts, something other than a humanoid that is. There is very little open land across this country anymore mostly now being covered in military bases, the only exception to this is a section of land towards the centre of the country, which is used for training purposes and nothing more. Surrounding the country is a gigantic wall that reaches deep down into the ocean all the way to the seabed and then beyond into the depths of the planet itself. The wall itself stands at forty feet in height from the surface of the sea and is approximately twenty feet thick. There is but only one normal city in this land, if normal is the word for it, but apart from that it the country is less like a country and more like one gigantic military base.
Historical/ Cultural Description: A long time ago this country was known as Xion, a beautiful country without a doubt, arguably the most beautiful country in all of Crimson, a �garden of Eden� or a utopia, but that was before it happened. Lord Tyson Tyron of Benzinct had begun to rage a slow war on the world; the current ruler over Xion was a man by the name of Milo Maskaban, a great man and just as great of a ruler to his people, yet he was faced with a terrible problem, go to war against Lord Tyron and he�s devastating army or join him, I�m afraid to say that the man of peace chose the latter in thought of his people. Greed is a powerful minion to evil and through time Milo became obsessed with power and world domination, much like his counterpart in this conquest of destruction. Throughout the war Milo had yet to loose a battle of the sea and many claimed that this was because Milo had come in contact with the devil in he�s journeys and had sold his very soul, but of course that was all but a rumour, but this lead to him being given the nickname �Poseidon, Lord of the Sea�. At any rate, after the loss at the battle of Nipola and without reinforcements from Lord Tyron, Milo was forced back to his country of Xion to rethink he�s tactics. He was infuriated that Lord Tyron had not come to help when called and in blinded rage Milo set to war against him. Now with the entire world against him Milo had nowhere to run. He was trapped in his own country and the people that he once made a drastic decision to protect were dieing because of him, and on the brink of losing the war nothing but a miracle would save him now. That very night the fighting ceased, the reason isn�t known to this very day, but that�s not the most surprising fact here. The very next morning a gigantic wall was set up around the entire country making it near impossible to attack from any angle. The war for Xion was over but in the process the country of great beauty had been destroyed and left as what it is today. With the loss in beauty came the loss in name, and thus the hugely overpopulated Outlands were born.
Country Name: Aldaria.
Capital City: Adaine.
Form of Government: Democracy, ruled by the people.
Current Leader's Name: Mayor Kenneth Millfull.
Population: 12,658,231.
Physical Description: Now, think of the most beautiful place you can imagine, a paradise, a heaven on Crimson even, and that�s the best way anyone could possibly describe Aldaria. I understand that this is not much a description when it comes to detail but words wouldn�t give this beautiful place justice, but I will try my best for the benefit of whoever reads this. The grass, so lush and soft, an emerald green colour, with rolling hills. The flora, ranging in all bright and beautiful colours, and coving the land like a beautiful scented blanket. Never too hot nor too cold. Now as for the architecture no other word than stunning comes to mind. As if taken back to the ancient world of Crimson yet mixed with the modern day, it�s a taste that would suit anyone.
Historical/ Cultural Description: Aldaria has always been a country of peace, even while the planet was in turmoil due to the great second world war, and it has kept to it�s ways of peace even up to this day. A country that has always followed the ways of the people, being whatever they decided, the leader of the country has never aimed to rule it but more govern what the people wanted and make it happen in the best way possible, and Mayor Kenneth Millfull upholds that tradition. Other than what has been said this country hasn�t had much history in the sense of how other countries across Crimson have, but that�s what makes this country stand out the most.
