Ambara is a continent on lying between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, although only its Pacific coastline is populated. It is a diverse region where religous and ethnic tensions have always run very high.

Geography

The entire Eastern half of Ambara is a vast unclaimed expanse known as Sahor. This territory is legally considered to belong to know nation and contains the space necessary for up to four sizable colonies. By contras, the West coast is populated by the lands and peoples of four nations.

In the far North, where, despite the proximity to the equator, high altitudes keep most of the land colder than many southern locations, the Resurgent Dream lays claim to seven principalities: Selinia, Thorlund, Zutern, Alekthos, Amalad, Amory and Carasia.

Just south of Danaan territory, Marlund is one of Ambara's oldest nations. Now a constitutional monarchy, Marlund has a long history as an ultra-racist, Protestant fundamentalist dictatorship. The northern part of Marlund is occuppied primarily by the previously dominant whites while southern Marlund is occuppied primarily by black freedmen and women. The government of Marlund, with substantial help from Pantocratoria, Adoki, and the Resurgent Dream is currently undertaking a massive reconstruction project to rebuild from the days of slavery.

Pantocratorian Ambara, just to the south of Marlund, is an essentially independent nation populated by settlers from Pantocratoria and claiming Emperor Andreus I Capet Andreus of Pantocratoria as their chief of state.

A large bay lies between Pantocratorian Ambara and Adoki, the southernmost of the Ambaran nations. Adoki is a culturally and ethnically Japanese nation which keeps a great cultural distance from other nations while maintaining alliances with some of her more powerful neighbors.
