Isocania

The Human nation of Isocania endevours to maintain as much high society as possible, but mostly is intrerested in industry and production of goods.

Isocania Government and Society:

Isocania is a Plutocracy, government of the rich, the Guild Conclave oversees the running of national business. The great houses of business are given a seat on the conclave based on the reports of their earnings and holdings. Most houses show signs of wealth by the patronizing of various arts, healers and educational institutaions.

Architecture:

Two distinct architectural influences are in play in Isocania. One is the use of hometrees, a strange magical treee that grows from seed to over 150 ft in one year and maintains that size for generations. They are prized, they are sold and purchased at a kings ransom. Giant tree houses are constructed in them and they are known for providing health benefits to those who sleep within.
The other style is comprised of family compounds like roman or arabic architectures that focus on courtyards with rooms arranged around the outer walls. Often with a xystus (open air hallways sourrounding the courtyards) where morning stretches are performed and men and women sit to play various forms of Nort or Selen.

Some of the population worships Thrir the god of thunder, while others worship Mammnon the god of prosperity and virility.
