The Democratic Republic of Somabalbah (formerly the Armed Republic of Somabalbah) is an island nation whose inhabitants came from many third-world countries only a few years ago. The country was born in battle: its citizens had to fight off invasions by their home countries, all of which claimed Somabalbah as their own. The official language is Esperanto, which has made cross-cultural interactions far easier. In the early years, Somabalbah's military was valiant but primitive by today's standards. The regular Army received an equipment upgrade in preparation for involvement in the Bjerhj war. The Navy and Air Force are still lagging behind technologically, as is the Home Guard (a defensive army and police force).

Important People

Samuel Xavier Marlett- The President. Though only a teenager, he is a strong military leader and is well respected by his people. Lily Sabina Fairweather- The Vice President. Also quite young to be a government leader, she is famous all over the world for her beauty, firey speeches, excellent governing decisions, and extensive skills in other creative arts besides politics. A marriage between her and President Marlett seems ineveitable. Her name is the same as that of a character in Thornton Wilder's play The Skin of Our Teeth.
