The Bata People Belong to the Highlander Nation Group. this race is very associated with NAture and Chooses to live in the trees. Their houses and villages are all built in trees and their roads are also all constructed throughout the trees. The Great River only has 4 crossing points in Bata all of which are well protected. Since the establishment of Bata, the country has planted thousands of trees to provide shelter and protection from the outside world.

Structure

The Society Council is in direct control over the Highlander Knights. These are a civil defence force made up of men and women all of whom have been highly trained in bowmanship.

Culture

The people of Bata will not venture onto the ground unless an extreme danger forces them. They will though recover any object that falls to the ground as leaving them there may give their location way to people who travel overland.

Territories

The Fortresses along the Great River are impenetrable buildings, bar to the most experienced bushmen and local tribesmen. The Highways in the trees are well inland and well used by the local population. The country is divided up into 5 smaller states, The southernmost state, "Mouzutoo Land" has a rail track cutting through its great forest connecting Espinhaco and Adrar Edekel. The track was only permitted if they put it in a 15 km tunnel to allow a forest to hide the existence of the highway used by the Bata people.

Foreign Relations

The country has no diplomatic links to any nation but does do a little trading at its coastal cities.

Agriculture & Industry

The villages of the Bata Collective are always placed near or above water and are interconnected with numerous footpaths in the trees.
