New Mactopia

The once glorious land of Mactopia was ruined by years of war. Now, after hundreds of years of wandering the endless wastes left after the war, the survivors have returned to the land to begin rebuilding. Refugees from Driftopia and Mactopia, such as the Forkanians, the Mattalattastanis and the Havanisians, decsendants of the Kirastorians have re-entered civilization, and new nations such as Cosmorita and Klehvis have risen to power.

The Nations

Forkania II - The Free Land of Forkania is a survivor from before the great cataclysm, and was the first nation to return to Mactopia and begin building anew. The Forkanians took up their old desert home on the Ptranian peninsula, and encouraged other nomadic peoples to return to the old world.

New Hell oo - Soon after Forkania, the refugees from the land of Hell oo arrived. Their land was conquered long before the great cataclysm, and were incorporated into the Spoonmenistani Empire. Despite this, the people of Hell oo maintained a separate identity, and seeing that their old home was now uninhabited, they joined Forkania in resettling Mactopia.

Cosmorita - The people of Cosmorita are unusual, in that they never before lived near Mactopia or Driftopia. Cosmorita is a small nation made up of the refugees of another country, Astrorita. As Astrorita grew, multiple attacks on it occured. The combined weight of other the nations crushed Astrorita, and it's people soon fled. Within time, the people of Astrorita found the resettled shores of the Mactopian sea, where they themselves settled.

Klehvis - The Klehvisians were those Mactopians who did not leave for Driftopia because of the tyrannical rule of El Commandante of Spoonmenistan. They chose to remain on their land of birth, were persecuted there, and forced underground on the Kirastorian archipelago. This proved to be fortunate, however, as in their underground city of Ageus they wheathered the Cataclysm, and in time emerged to rule the islands that were taken from them.

Havanis - The Havanisians are the direct descendants of those Kirastorians who decided to leave for Driftopia to escape El Commandante. Those who survived the Great Cataclysm fled from Driftopia and lived a nomadic life in the frozen wastes of Arturia, north of Mactopia. After time, they emerged, stumbling, into Mactopia, and set up a nation in the extreme north of the region. The Havanisians are renowned for their maritime expertise.

Neo Mattalattastan - The Mattalattastanis once ruled a great empire, covering nearly all of Mactopia, and threatened to conquer Driftopia as well. However, after the Great Cataclysm, their fall from grace was swift. They too were reduced to wandering the deserts of Mactopia. Once a leader wih initiative returned, however, they founded a nation in what was northern Spoonmenistan - Neo Mattalattastan.

The Blood Diamond Empire - Very little is known of this mysterious nation. Based in Eastern Mactopia, The Blood Diamond Empire has resisted all attempts at diplomacy and refused entry to foreigners.

Romano Cambria - A late arrival into the land of New Mactopia, Romano Cambria is made up of those who escaped the great Empire of Romanii Nova during or before the cataclysm.

Cobland - The smallest and newest of the Mactopian nations, Cobland is another survivor from Driftopia. It is overshadowed my the mighty Blood Diamond Empire.

Jinglung - A mysterious land of dragon lovers? Gods, I don't know.

Geography

New Mactopia is an extermely varied region, both culturally and geographically. Much of the western continent is covered in a vast desert, stretching from the north of Forkania to southern Mattalattastan, with the exeption of the coastal regions. Hell oo, Mattalattastan and northern Cosmorita are either grassland and praries, which stretch even to the desert itself, or pine forest. Southern Forkania, which was once lush jungle, is now one of the nuclear wastelands that marr the otherwise beautiful land of Mactopia. The many rivers that still flow through this land are toxic, all contaminated by fallout, and no marine life exists within them or in the sea around their estuaries. These rivers rise far to the west, in the Ese-Vanador mountains. These mountains are the tallest in all of Mactopia or Driftopia and often exceed 8,000m.

The Eastern continent of Mactopia is far different to the Western continent, and far less arid. In place of desert, boreal forest coates much of interior of the continent, and to the south the Khabal Mountains rise high into the air. Many swift rivers rise here, including the Tathos river, which meets the sea at Naverius, capital of Havanis. To the south of Havanis, across the vast Tanas plains is the Blood Diamond Empire. The Empire sits hidden amongst the largest forest in Mactopia. The forest is deciduous, with many tall oaks and young sycamores in which The Empire hides from the outside world.

In between the two continents, in the Mactopian Sea, is the Kirastorian Archipelago. These are volcanic islands, and the volcanoes on them frequently erupt. The histories of the Kirastorian people tell us that these islands were once beautiful, but alas, the ancients' nuclear wars have left these islands devastated.
