A slavic union of two technologically medieval nations: Vulgaria and Graznavia living in the other dimension called Bermudinia. One more thing. Don't call me lazy! I just have more important things than NS. And I'm not a furry!

According to several internet surveys taken by a variety of citizens apparently the most popular book series in the F.S.C. is currently the creatively titled A Game of Swings, a children's literature novel series about a group of friends and their nemeses over many years primarily focusing on their interactions during recess period.

The most popular book in Greater Cosmicium is Fall of the Federation, a semi-fictionalized depiction of the Universal Federation being single-handedly destroyed by the Emperor of Greater Cosmicium, Mortheus Valixor. At least one copy of the book is required in each residence, as mandated by Order 1054-906-A9D of the Universal Empire of Greater Cosmicium.

Mephistopheles

To a modern reader, there are many other great horror novels, particularly from the Deadlands series. But the character of Mephistopheles is unique in that he exists in many Diarcesian D&D campaigns as a playable villain. His strengths and weaknesses reflect his place in the fictional universe.
