Geography:
Ivulia is a great island nation, although it's citizens also have holdings in various eastern european castles, criminal underworlds, the moon, vulcanic islands, etc all over the world. With a diverse people and geography, one can find everything from scorching deserts, tall mountains, bustling industrial cities, depressed post-industrial cities, villages with dark secrets, jungles and more!
The Thirteen States:
Ivulia is divided into thirteen states (with Ivulopolis being outside any of the thirteen states in question). Each state largely decides its own internal policies, political system and in what manner it leads Ivulia to supremacy on the global states. The thirteen states are as follows:
Little Ivulita
A southern state dominated by depressed post-industrial cities, and the ever-present competition between the various mob families. 35.9% of the Little Ivulitan GDP is the 'Garbage Cleaning Industry' and the state provides the country's finest social clubs. The current ruler of Little Ivuilita is Don Lugia, the head of the Lugia family who currently controls most of the state (liable to change).
Revolutiona
Revolutiona is an economically depressed state located in the tropical and sun-filled western islands. Revolutionary have what could be called rotating-door-democracy, with frequent fraud-filled elections, military coups and popular uprisings to determine the colouring of the state-oppression. Currently ruled by Presidende Rodriguez, and while the language of the area is english, it is spoken with a thick spanish accent.
Scientopia
Scientopia truly breaks new boundaries, usually kicking and screaming, within Ivulian science. Consisting largely of vast laboratories, giant factories, nefarious castles and similar, the creations of the Scientopian upper class (consisting exclusviely of morally ambiguous researchers) run wildly in the backwards villages of Scientopia. Has a strict class-segregation based completely on level of unhinged education. Currently ruled by Dr. Morally Ambiguous.
Urania
Urania was changed forever, when fifty years ago the area was riddled by mysterious meteors who granted random individuals unparalleled powers (as well as the overwhelming urge to dress in thematic clothing). 99.5% of the population live in fear of the super-powered 0.5%, who rampage around the cities and countryside causing unparalled property damage. The borders have been sealed, so the poor population must just continue living there. The (re)construction industry dominates.
Paradise
Paradise is paradise on earth, citizen. Paradise is an utopian state, populated by happy people under the caring eyes of the Party. No one wants to leave Paradise, where everyone lives in wealth, safety and prosperity. Everyone loves the Party, and the Party loves everyone equally. Paradise has always been at war with Revolutiona.
Marketland
Marketland is a free land, where the just and proper flow of capital is not hindered by state interventionism, environmental concerns, ungrateful workers or ethics. The private conglomerates of Marketland are some of the most profitable corporations in the world, and have holdings in most areas. Currently 'ruled' by Big Ted, the mascot of the Aivil corporation.
Barta
Barta possesses the greatest army the world has ever known, whose disciplined lines can mow down any invader or defender who who do not want to be liberated! Native Bartans are the greatest warriors of all of Ivulia, and dedicate themselves to glorious war all the time! The unimportant mundane tasks, such as farming, and cooking and production, is done by captured slaves. Barta is ruled by glorious King Bart XI, the greatest warrior and whipper in the land!
Funville
Funville is the most diverse state along with the Realm of Darkness, populated by all manner of ethnicities and species, including werewolves, boogeymen, zombies, vampires and more who love playing with the population! Riddled with villages and towns, the god- and neighbourfearing human population tend to be of the superstitious sort... of course, superstitions are entirely correct in Funville. Ruled by the Festive King, the first citizen of Funville.
Realm of Darkness
The Realm of Darkness is a magical land, where craven knights duke it out in duels, the fay kidnap children, trolls and orks roam the woods and farmer-boys go out on epically doomed quests to put things right (never happens). Rule in the Realm of Darkness is a temporary affair, as scheming sorcerers, mighty warlords, religious crusaders, hordes of beasts and more contend eternally for power in the state.
Sector A-1
Sector A-1 have shed the illogalities of right-brain thought. Those who join Sector A-1 are liberated from illogical and bizarre emotion. The citizens of Sector A-1 are artifical, either partially (cyborgs) or wholly (sentient AIs). Sector A-1 is a model of efficiency, economically and politically. With all minds communicating near instantly, the consencus of Sector A-1 (kill all organics) can be carried out.
Wickerland
Wickerland is a rural state, with many villages dotted over the landscape. Wickerland have long since thrown their lot in with the Legions of Hell, and religious festivals are held regularily where bloody citizens give their due to Belzebub and his minions. Tourists are frequent sacrifice material, and Wickerland is a great producer of Orphan Tears (as the currency of Ivulia, an important commodity).
Freeports
Freeports is another state consisting largely of islands, and located to the north of Revolutiona. Freeports is a lawless place and the main economic activites of the state is piracy, smuggling, raiding, pillaging, plundering and digital distribution. Internal economy consists largely of prostitution, rum production & distribution and black spot manufacturing. Shipping is vital, although Freeportian ships seldom leave harbour full (never foregoing the opportunity to pick a few extra goods and slaves up).
Ivulia
Ivulia, the largest and most powerful state of Ivulia, largely dominate the rest of the Villainous States on the political scene (as evidenced by the name of the Federation being the same as this state). It's hard to specify what Ivulia is in comparison to the other Ivulian states, as Ivulia largely acts as an intermeditiary diplomat and the economical backbone of the country along with Marketland. Citizens who can't find a place in any other state usually gravitate here (except from Paradise, as all Paradisians love living in Paradise). Is led by the Supreme Overlord, which is also the national leader.
Culture:
Ivulia is a multi-cultural society, where most of the cultures try to kill each other off. The vast tracts of land populated by all manner of sociopathic scientists, witty warlords, visionary villains, nefarious nazis, corrupt cops, craving cannibals, evil executives, scheming sorcerors and more hosts all the cultures of the world in one! Walking down a street in Ivulopolis (the capital) one can hear english spoken in all the accents of the world, from russian to german to asian to irishman.
Politics:
The politics of Ivulia are diverse, being ruled with in ironfist (although, occasionally clad in a silken glove) of the Supreme Overlord who is democratically elected (cheating mandatory). However, due to the diverse nature of Ivulia, even the most megalomaniacal of monarchs must realize that a certain degree of decentralization is necessary. Some areas operate best under a kleptocracy and other as warlord states, after all! Therefore, the individual states of Ivulia are mostly left to their own devices unless the Supreme Overlord have a scheme to carry out!
Demographics:
Ivulia has an estimated population of 264,350,000, and reports an average yearly growth of 2.1% (this growth excludes cloning, re-animation and sentient AI construction). The population is spread all over the Ivulian island, across the thirteen states.
Economy:
The Ivulian economy is greatly diversified and strong, with agriculture, terrorism, 'protection insurance', heavy machinery-construction, piracy, deforestation, slavery WMD production and more being major sectors of the economy. Ivulia reports an average annual growth of 6.66% and has an unemployment rate of 13.0%. Poverty rates are difficult to estimate, but are ludicriously high (most likely).
