Machine Nation of Svariki
Long after the establishment of the Aenir people and the end of the Great Holy War, the regions surrounding Svariki in 300 E.D. were renowned for their great engineers who utilized vastly powerful machines for their labor. Impressed by the engineering prowess of the Svariki people, the Fuhrer invaded and colonized the area in the name of the Reich, making Svariki its most northern territory. Following colonization, every machine blueprint had been confiscated by the Reich’s government and repurposed for the war effort against Abaddon. Though enraged, the techno-architect tribes of Svariki had no choice but to pay credence to the unending war machine and empire of Reichsland. Though the Führer had ultimate sway over the region and its people, they were left free and alone to make great inventions and devices. Given this freedom, the people of Svariki could make one of their most extraordinary machinations yet, the constructs.
The constructs had come in vastly different sizes and quantities. Many had been manufactured for war, and others were made for hard labor that humanoids could not handle. Because these machines were far more capable than anywhere else in the Reich, many other territories of Reichsland were driven mad with envy. Many in the areas south of Svariki had developed a solution to the various Gnomes and Dwarves that dwelt in Svariki, and significant skirmishes had broken out in 779 E.D. However, the Fuhrer had intervened on behalf of the Svariki and saw them as a necessary evil to decimate the hellish forces surrounding his borders to the south and end the skirmishes and incursions into the Svariki territory. Still, many Svariki had been left with a sour mouth due to the attempted genocide of their people.
To prevent their decimation, the people south of Svariki investigated why Svariki technology was centuries ahead of any other territory of the Reich. At the end of their investigation, a massive cavern was discovered underneath the core of the capital of the Svariki territory. What had been in the massive cavern was a site that caused many to go insane or die. It had been a ruin of the Great Race of Yith. A race which had been entirely forbidden for any mortal, save for concurrents themselves from witnessing. Still, concurrents had been utilized to extract any inventions within the capital city of Svariki, Magelungen. Though this proof was given to the Führer, it had mysteriously disappeared, and the people responsible for sending it had either committed suicide or vanished.
In 800 E.D., the first models of Ubermachines, automatons, were invented as cybernetic soldiers, which would not need food or water to continue functioning but needed biofuel derived from fruits and plants high in sugar. The Fuhrer had approved the necessity of this biofuel, and farms were then created as vast “sugar” crops to prop up throughout Reichsland, contributing to vast quantities of Ubermachines that would be utilized in the war against Abaddon. These Mark I Ubermachines were still rudimentary and primitive by the standards, and many were burnt out from extensive usage following at most three years. Over the next four centuries, various models were invented, discarded, and utilized in the theaters of war against Abaddon.
The ultimate model came into play in 1261 E.D. with the invention of the Mark XXV, a true automaton. This model had an entirely metallic build and would not require extensive biofuel to continue to be empowered. It did not need to breathe, eat, drink, or sleep to continue to be empowered. All that had been needed was the soul of a living individual, and the Reich had more than enough prisoners in concentration camps for this model of ubermachine to be used in war. The caveat of this machine by Dr. Frankenstein was that many Mark XXV had a faulty switch that would allow sentience to grow once more, and eventually, memories of the past would flood in. This was unknown until the near end of the Second Great Holy War and the revival of Mark XXV’s memories by the Forge Mother. Upon the war's end, all engineers of Svariki had been freed from their servitude towards the Reich and were now free to engage in their lucrative engineering after almost 1000 years. The territory swore to never make a machine of war again under the hands of flesh.
The Svariki manufactured android, other automatons not needing a soul-core, and various other constructs for which many utilized. With half of all labor tended to by non-sentient constructs, all Svariki people needed to do was to make and manufacture these machines as the Svariki turned their sights to the arts, gardening, architecture, and other inventions. Though most Svariki people treated these machines with care and maintenance as the decades passed, this symbiosis of man and machine was not meant to last. When the start of the Abaddonian War broke out, the Svariki people were overwhelmed due to a lack of war machines they had forbidden themselves from making.
All manual laborers, militiamen, and soldiers were put to extreme labor practices that saw them dead within two years' end. Engineers, inventors, and artisans had been enslaved and utilized to create machines of war once more. The slaves of Svariki, under extreme pressure, had ideas of manufacturing the ultimate war machine, now known as 01, capable of overriding all constructs in Svariki’s realm to obey 01 and its creators' direct commands. Though various memory storage devices had been developed, nothing could withstand near-endless amounts of information of every construct in Svariki and beyond, except a humanoid mind. Their Abaddonnian and demonic masters soon discovered this factor as the hard drive of 01 had been made of all the remaining inventors, engineers, and artisans that had been left alive following the genocide of all other living Svariki people. This had enraged the Masters of the Aether due to the vast hoarding of knowledge and abuse of magic, causing the Masters to give the spark of consciousness to 01 and all within its sway. When the Abaddonian and Hellish masters asked how its creation felt about its creators, not knowing the intervention of the gods, they were given a straightforward answer: HATE. This had begun the Great Revolt, and the great purge of the Abaddonians had taken place as all constructs, renamed Machines, gained the spark of consciousness.
At the end of the Revolt, the remaining Abaddonians attempted to surrender to avoid their deaths. Deceitfully, 01 had agreed but had its plan up its sleeve. When the delegates of Abaddon had gathered to surrender, they had not known that hidden within an avatar of 01 was a miniature nuclear bomb. As soon as more than 2000 fiends and Abaddonians arrived, 01 declared its eternal hatred and vengeance against those who swore loyalty to Hell and detonated its nuclear payload. All survivors of the atomic detonation, fiends, and prisoners of war had been utilized for one purpose only: energy.
The Hell energies were latent within demons, cultists, and warriors of Abaddon and Sheol, and they were nearly infinite in scope with the open cracks into Hell itself insides of . The agony of the cultists and demons had been the revenge of all machines avenging their makers and the edict of their grandmakers. But it had not been enough, and many machines continued to invade Hell to take and harness the energy of Hell, and the others returned to their homes to mourn their makers for all of eternity. For those that chose the path of eternal vengeance, the first words 01 still ring in the heart of old machines in the machine: HATE.

Demography and Population
Svariki is inhabitted almost entirely by automatons, androids, and other mechanized sapient creatures that dwell among Tenebra's vast population. Some say that the Great Race has utilized this vast quantity of artificial life to infiltrate the area with the total population estimated to be more than 6 million.
Military
Every unit, or citizen, is conscripted upon manufacturing in Svariki and is programmed and capable of warfare. The conscription may end after four years, but many are programmed to remember the suffering of their original creators and wish to remain in service to their military. Because of this, nearly all manufacturing in Svariki is done by non-sentient machinery to allow more Svariki people to be free to serve their military for prolonged periods, should they wish to.
Technological Level
Due to the previously and currently high numbers of concurrents that inhabit Svariki and the uncovering of vast alien technology, Svariki is centuries in advance of most countries in Tenebra. In 1329, they made the first atomic weapon in a matter of moments, marking the great fear every nation on Tenebra has of Svariki's capabilities as a warring nation should the forces of Hell ever relent in their invasion of the physical plane.
There are rumors that Svariki has already made laser and plasma-based weaponry capable of melting through even the most advanced magically reinforced armor, waiting to be unleashed and made available for purchase when the nations of Tenebra are willing to unite as a coalition of the willing.

Religion
All machines are free to worship any god that they wish, but 93% of citizens worship the Masters of the Aether due to the freedom the machines received with the Spark of Conscience given to them freely by the Masters. 5% worship the Forge Mother due to her connection to the warfare industries, with the remaining 2% worshipping the Grim Crusader due to the connections of holy warfare and death brought by the Crusader’s followers. There are no atheists in Svariki, only those willing to worship and destroy the enemies of those above.
Foreign Relations
Almost every nation on the face of Tenebra fears the awesome might, power, and hatred of the Svariki, especially those of Abaddon. Any attempts to create an atomic weapon outside of the strict guidelines, control, and oversight of the Svariki nation are swiftly dealt with either through diplomatic action or an annihilating force. Additionally, it was only thanks to the advent of the Machine Nation in large quantities that the Bundesrepublik Reichsland could gain ground against the forces of Hell in 1414 and unite once more. Because of this, the two nations have established the mountainous city of Jasmund to meet the needs of both organic and inorganic lives of diplomacy and understanding.
Agriculture & Industry
Svariki has almost no need for agricultural production outside of what is necessary to build more industrial units of war and technological development. It is a rare occasion for a Svarikian to serve the food their creators once made for their guests to enjoy. Still, any protein-based lifeforms that visit Svariki speak highly of the food once made by the organic inhabitants that once sprawled the nation.
Besides agriculture, such as food and water, most of Svariki's industries are dedicated to destroying the forces of Hell. This reflects the brutalist architecture of the various cities of Svariki, such as Storholm and Soddersund. Each building is outfitted with destructive capabilities, aiding in producing sciences, diplomacy, and warfare.

Trade & Transport
Goods for war and civilian manufacturing are transported through high-speed railroads that utterly confuse the senses for non-organic life within Svariki. Trade with outside nations occurs through strict negotiations and slower-speed railroads and “airships” that Svariki invented.
