North Dannistaan is one of the constituant states/Ti'vol'ron of the Confederacy of Dannistaan. It is an environmentally stunning area with urban development strictly controlled to prevent excessive ecological damage.

History

The present state of North Dannistaan was formed from a group of tribes who believed that their future lay in the untamed jungles of the northern end of the island. The tribes here were referred to as the Nordu Tribes. The Nordu Tribes believed that by working with, rather than against nature, they could create a sustainable community and preserve their culture. Nordu Tribesmen have nature lore and crafting skills that are greatly sought after even today. They are known to be very good at making medicines and are often found working as doctors and shamen.

These skills became especially important in the Second World war and in the 1982 Civil war, where North Dannistrians were often found working for the Red Cross. After which, the North Dannistrian State Government embarked on a campaign to rid the poverty and crime ridden image of the state capital of Nordu Dannistra City, turning it into a cosmopolitan city. This has helped boost the economy in North Dannistaan, thought East Dannistaan still remains the economic powerhouse of the nation.
