Gooti

Gooti is the place most Loxodons call home. It started out as a Zenostrian colony but after fighting for their independence the Loxodons decided to keep the borders as they were fortified and helped to keep out intruders and monsters hidden in the Jungle. This is to be noted as prior to the colonization Loxodons wouldn't set borders other than their city walls with anything outside being part of the wilderness. This causes Loxodons to only rarely live outside a city which is why the outskirts of cities are full of fields and houses as close as possible to the city walls. An exception being the nomadic tribe of the Tamaa who pride themselves with calling the whole world their home.
The capital of Gooti is Nyumbani which lies in what could be called the "knee pit" of the country.
Gooti is split into 12 counties (in brackets is capital of that county). 2 of which are the city of Nyumbani and the entire bay area of Mji Kisiwa: Nyumbani (Nyumbani) Mji Kisiwa (Mji Kisiwa) Utambi Eneo (Utambi Bandari) Nyumjabali (Riziki) Bahari Kata (Ghuba Ya Pua) Kijito Kata (Jiji-Daraja) Msitu Kata (Ziwa) Ndefu Pwani (Umpaku) Milima Kata (Buurta) Jangwa Mpaka (Leexad) Uvuvi (Ghubimiji) Kichwa Cha Ndege (Mdomo)
