History: Pacifist cowards was founded by a group of concerned individuals, who were scared that Rossia Ukraina's involvement in defender organizations meant she could bite off more than she could chew. After a failed assault on a DEN region, these individuals decided they had had enough, and sailed off looking for a peaceful region where there appears to be no wars. They beached on a strange island, wth no apparent carnivores, and no threatening natives. They decided it was the will of some diety, and so colonised the island, re-starting their lives, and making sure that the island was protected (peacefully). This eventually became their obsession, building their two cities (Silent Grove and Peaceful Glade) within the trees, and only using methods of farming/foraging/hunting that would remain sustainable. The Cowards are, in fact, an honourable people, with a great affinity for nature and a strong sense of belonging. They co-founded Free Haven, an inter-region trade port, and their sense of pride and devotion to their new region, which welcomed them so warmly, has resulted in their regional council member, John Leigh, being appointed Security Counsiller. Many feel this is merely the start of a great future for the peace-loving little islanders.
Geography: The island that Pacifist Cowards inhabits is a rich, lush rainforest, with plains to the west filled with tea plants. The forest itself is thick and all-encompassing, and the only way to travel is through air travel. This means that apart from the two major tree cities, all the other inhabitants live in costal fishing towns and villages, or in the plains.
The Tree Cities: Silent Grove is the Capital city, and it is within this that the Government resides. The Government bulilding itself is atop "the Great Oak", a massive oak tree roughly a hundred metres high, with a strengthened cabopy to house the vast Governmental complex. The city itself consists of thousands of tree houses within the very tops of the trees. They are built only on the strongest of trees, and only in a shape which the tree will take, so no two houses are ever alike. The houses are hand-built, and a well-constructed house is a source of great pride for a family. Peaceful Glade is the other tree city, and it is within this that the hellichoppers that the citizens use to travel around in are built.
