Sayt

Government Overview

Sayt is an anomaly, as it is almost unheard of to have both a reigning monarch and a functional socialist government. The day to day the country is run by the Council of hierarchs, twelve fairly powerful physics, who are appointed by the "God-Emperor". The God-emperor makes important decisions that affect the state as a whole, such as war, the budget etc.

Recently announced was the abdication of the God-Emperor and the elections of a President and Senate. The Senate is to be elected six months prior to the president, as the president is selected from the Senate.

Regional Politics

The Government of Sayt's Regional policy is mainly that of Isolation, due to Sayt essentially being a theocratic monarchy. However, Both Immigration and Emigration are fairly easy, and Visa's are obtainable, with difficulty relying on criminal records, and the tourists position on any terrorist watch lists available to Customs.

Religion

Note: much of this section is religious hearsay.

The main religion in Sayt is the So called "Cult of Fenrir" who worship the God-Emperor Fenrir. To those out side the cult it is acknowledged that the so called "God" is in fact an incredibly powerful psychic capable of atomic manipulation on a large scale.

The cult of Fenrir is composed mainly of every native Saytian in the country and most of Sayts expatriate citizens.

Rituals

Remembrance:

The Ritual of Ritual of remembrance is a ritual in which the ritualist inhales the Fumes of several herbs added to the flame of consecrated wood, if the powders are added in the wrong order the ritualist experiences extreamly unpleasant effects, such as Nausea, vomiting and death and a rather nasty rash. If, however the herbs are added in the correct order the fumes mix to become a powerful awareness spectrum narcotic. The ritualist then sees the body of every single person they have killed or have known since they last performed the ritual. They then offer a single drop of their own blood to appease their spirits.

And last, but not least, the Central Hill tribes formed the Air Clan, noted for their skill riding the monsterous, scaled creatures named "Kavu", meaning hunter, in ancient Saytian, and their use of Spears and their shrews intelligence. the three clans take territories that become the three states of modern sayt.

0250 BCE: The Stone Clan forms an alliance with the Air clan in an effort to either pacify or wipe out the Wood Clan, whose arrogance had led them to raid and rob The Air and Stone Clans smaller settlements and Caravans, claiming that if they were strong enough to take them, they should be rightfully theirs.
