Novagorod

Novagorod is a country on the southernmost tip of Galan. Located in The Dark, it is one of the harshest places to live in all of Cos. The extremely cold temperatures, the never-ending dark, and the baron land make the place almost uninhabitable. Yet Novagorod exists. No one is exactly sure why the dwarves started a colony here. Or how they advanced so quickly, but they did. This society of dwarves harnessed energy like no other nation. They created artificial suns that light up each of their cities and provide unlimited energy as well. No one is sure how they discovered this secret technology, but no other nation in the world has matched it.
Novagorod society is built around an equal share. Everyone works hard and does their assigned job for their life. Since Novagorod is composed of dwarves and gnomes, quality and dedication are unmatched. The Supreme Council controls all affairs and tries to divide resources equally and assign dwarves the correct Job when they come of age, there are 8 Dwarves or Gnomes on the council at once. The Supreme Chair or Kremlin leads the Council in decisions and ends ties if they ever arise.
Each city is powered by an artificial sun as well as provides the city with light in the cold dark land they inhabit. Novagorod does not really trade with any other nation, but they do trade within themselves. Locomotive routes are made in every city for easy transport and to avoid the harsh environment. Some locomotives have the ability to go off routes and travel the cold wastes between cities. The main resources of the country are coal, iron, steel, hydroponic crops, and occasionally shipping ice to northern nations.
