Literal translation:

Attention, reader! The country independent in the SMS is Sozy. Freedom, small government and harmony for all peoples in Sozy works she (Sozy). And the freedom of the individual protects Sozy.

These were the beginning principles of the constitution during the short reign of Santixke åti’Þighberixtæ during the Sozian Libertarian Union, altough this text was forbidden during the Sozian Communist Republic, it became popular during and after the second Sozian revolution in 1989. This text is now the introduction (in various languages) of the Sozian Constitution.

Geography

Sozy is a vast country with varying landscapes and cities, noticeably different cultures and above all vastness. To make things look more organised we have divided the geography section in 3 parts: Continental Sozy,Island Sozy and Overseas territories.

Continental Sozy

Caput Mundi

Caput Mundi (Province) is located in the coastal centre of the Sozian mainland.

Landscape

The landscape of Caput Mundi used to be swampland and grasslands, but most of that has been urbanised or had to suffer due to the extensive infrastructure. It has an inhospitable rocky seashore and a hilly grassland in the very east.

The Sozian motorways allow fast transport, most of them are toll roads.

Climate Classification

The coastal province of Caput Mundi has a “Cfb” climate (Mild with no dry season, warm summer)

The Capital

The Capital City of Caput Mundi is Caput Mundi-city, also the capital and financial centre of the Sozian nation.

Èskia Sozy and Werbia Sozy

Located in the North of the mainland Èskia Sozy is the largest province on the mainland, life is slightly less expensive and tensed than it is in Caput Mundi. Werbia Sozy, located in the South of the mainland is famous because of the annual yacht race.

Landscape

In Werbia Sozy and Èskia Sozy little of its original landscape remained, except for the tourist attracting The White Cliffs in Werbia Sozy and the start of the Dreje mountains in the East of both provinces. The land has mostly been used for modern industry and new cities that come along with them.

Climate Classification

[Èskia Sozy]]: Cfb climate (Mild with no dry season, warm summer), with the inland being slightly colder but less humid than the coastal area. Werbia Sozy: Cfc climate (Mild with no dry season, cool summer).

The Capital

The capital of Èskia Sozy is the former military harbour city Èskiaghir. The capital of Werbia Sozy is fashion centre Ruðböot.

Dreje Sozy

Dreje Sozy, is the Eastern mountain area of Sozy. I became part of Sozy in 1912.

Landscape

The famous KîgÞur Mountain would be stereotypical for the landscape of Dreje Sozy were it not located in a totally different province. Dreje Sozy is completely covered with rugged mountains, narrow valleys, glaciers and rocks. Even though the mountains are quite capable of becoming massive ski resorts, most choose the class of the other mountain area on the Sozian island.

Island Sozy

Northern Sozy

If you leave the mainland by boat and go east you end up in Northern Sozy, located along the shoreline of sunset straits.

Landscape

The sandy coast of Northern Sozy is the centre of all major regional cities, in the North there’s a swampland and grasslands, a notoriously conservative region as known by others. The middle part used to be forests, before heavy industries came. The South is a warm, pleasant region, with a mix of the Vrancian and the Sozian culture.

Many areas of Northern Sozy are green and swampy

Climate Classification

The northern area has a Cfc climate (mild with no dry season, cool summer). Pretty much most of the coastal area has a Cfb climate (mild with no dry season, warm summer), but there is a fast turnover into a Dfb climate (humid with severe winter, no dry season, warm summer). The very South has a Csb (mild with dry, warm summer).

The Capital

Vènghörjit, is the capital of Northern Sozy, traditionally a fisher’s village.

Eastern Sozy

Eastern Sozy located about in between the two largest rivers of the island.

Landscape

Enclosed by two rivers lies a low mountain area named Eastern Sozy or “Èjeter Zozii” by the locals. The low mountains gain some altitude at the province border in the South, in the North they end up as steep cliffs in the sea.

Climate Classification

Eastern Sozy has a harsh Dwb climate (Humid with severe, dry winter, warm summer), except for the area east of the two great rivers here’s a Cfc climate (mild with no dry season, cool summer).

The Capital

Landscape

Central Sozy has enormously high mountains (often higher than 5 kilometres) and wide valleys (often urbanised) separated from other valleys by narrow but beautiful passes. Both the snowy and sunny landscape are ideal for both sporting and relaxing. At the borders of the province, the mountains get lower, looking more innocent, and the glaciers turn into rivers. A famous example is KîgÞur Mountain.

Overseas territory

Auslà Sozy

This new region, previously an uninhabited lowland, is now a centre of trading and gambling. Auslà Sozy is a perfect mix for a businessman, having an huge office block in the city and a chalet back in the former does not need to be a luxury.

Sozian Culture (unfinished)

It must be noted that Sozy is a large country with various of ethnic groups, but the Sozians form a great majority. How to handle when you spot a Sozian? You need to understand a part of the behaviour of Sozians before talking to any of them. Sozians often struck foreigners as somewhat rude and uncompassionate, but one must know the society Sozian live in before they can make such a judgement.

A mentality

A friendship with a Sozian:, Sozians often seem to foreigners as closed-minded and diseased by various of mental disorders. Sozians are reserved when it comes to talking to strangers. In the Sozian society there’s a “perfection image” how a perfect Sozian should work on both his mental and physical capabilities, this cause them difficulties to have “ordinary talks” especially with people they do not know. A familiar relationship with Sozians is therefore seem as difficult, but finally it is worth it. Sozians are extremely loyal to their friends, this is part of an ages old philosophy of loyalty, if you’re finally a good friend of a Sozian, you will soon be accepted by his or her (usually small) group of friends as well. Sozians are not actually rude and unemotional, but they do not feel that showing that to others they do not know is normal. Direct reserve people?, yes, Sozians are known to be very direct, another part of their culture, lying is seen as a terrible shame, really terrible. If you seriously ask Sozians on their personal views, they will give them, but they may not always consider the effects of replying negatively…

Egalitarian and Emancipated: , As said before Sozians strive for a “perfection image”, which has nothing to do with looking like the people in cosmetic commercials. Egalitarianism in Sozy is different from what you may expect, this “perfection image” is what they see as normal, one is expected to be sophisticated, intelligent, loyal, respectful, culturally aware and well taken care off. They have problems accepting sub-cultures and anyone that does not strive for the “perfection image”. Even though there are a lot of economical gaps in Sozy, socially they want the society to be egalitarian. They address their bosses with his/her first name. People that try to distinguish themselves as socially different (better) aren’t really liked. Sozians generally hate asocials and “nobles” on the other side, also extravagant lifestyles are looked at with suspicion. Sozians are very emancipated compared to European cultures, which does explain the little interest of Sozians in both Conservatives and Feminists. Much of the emancipation needed (according to Sozians) in other cultures, is natural in the Sozian culture. There is no speaking of that women would be paid lower salaries or less rights. It is not something they’re bothered with much either, it is just natural for Sozians, like the acceptance of one’s sexual orientation.

Utilitarian, if it is of no use, why have it? Sozian houses are simple and functional, with little decoration. Presents at birthdays are not common, one’s help and loyalty are more appreciated. Sozians like everything to be suited in order to reach perfection, mental and physical sloth are seen as threatening and asocial .The utilitarian nature of Sozians makes it easy for them to find practical solutions, but Sozians hate temporary solutions.

Organized, Sozians live with a clock in their brains. Accuracy, precision and exact time are important. Sozians prefer to do things from A to B, and not A and B through each other. They like to plan, and get really annoyed if someone confuses them in their planning. If you want to become hated by Sozians: disturb them around 6 O clock, which is dinner time (the largest meal is in the beginning of the day, though).

Einzelganger, Sozians are independent, they do not like authority, they prefer to be alone often enough in a day. Sozians would rather spend their life together with their lover isolated on an island than somewhere regulated. They do not like it if people interfere in their lives. Sozians are also very fond of their privacy. They hate regulation or government administration in their families, the average Sozian is more loyal to his family than the government.

Politics, Sozians dislike governments. They believe that people should make their own choices, although they are reserved, and often a bit sceptic about other lifestyles, they will defend the right that one can have those. Governmental authority is a devil’s word for the egalitarian Sozians. Sozians have a sense of responsibility that is often restricted to their family or friends, proud of their country but not of its people. Sozians hate fascists, and do not pretend to be one, the peaceful nature of Sozians may change into an aggressive nature if you start about fascism.
