Picketralia: Difference between revisions

Line 3:

Picketralia consists of eight subdivisions: counties, each that send one representative to the [[Picketralian Senate]], with differing amounts of votes depending on the population of that county. The most populous county is [[Bartholomeu County]], while the least populous county is [[Mordor County]], which is uninhabited. In addition, there are several overseas territories.

Modern Picketralia was founded in 978 under the [[Treaty of Pafalia]], however, the area has been settled for far longer, as far back as 1800BCE, when the Kronx people in the Burlamayn Caravan settled in the [[Mollard Valley]].

Picketralia has a relatively smaller government compared to other developed nations such as Moria, with many privatized institutions. The country's main export is precious metals such as copper, iron, gold. Picketralia's agriculture industry is relatively small, however, it is still significant. Stimpton is a major port city, located on the [[Stimpton River]], which splits the country into two distinct political and socioeconomic sections.

The country is well known for [[Pigot School]], a very prestigious academy located in Stimpton. Founded by the Zorthenians around 1069BCE, it offers courses in literature, history, science, politics, mathematics, technology, engineering, and business, with top ranked professors.

=== Early history and pre-Zorthenian kingdoms ===

The Piks started out as the [[Kronx]] in what we know now as the [[Kronx Formation]], ontop of Picketralia and east of Moria. Today, it is a red desert mesa with tall hills and peaks, with some signs of what it used to be. They were a loosely united group of tribes who lived in a large grassland for many millenia, with many rivers and streams. Because of this, they had no reason to go elsewhere.
