The Republic of Bastok is a very large country. It is very close to the semi-desert region of Gustaberg. The mines here mine the valuable metal Mythril which many guilds use.

The capital of this country is Bastok where a lot of mining and crafting takes place. The humes and Galkas live in the residential areas of the city but do not have much contact. The Galka seem to do most of the mining and physical labour.

This area is a fairly busy one with many people carrying out thier business at any one time. Over the years the city has developed into a technologically advanced society and quickly became a place of craft and smithing.

Every few years an election takes place and a new president is chosen by the people of bastok to rule the country.
