No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man. Heraclitus of Ephesus

Introduction

The People's Republic of Taballas is a tiny, devout nation whose hard-nosed, intelligent population come together to work for the common good of all Taballain creatures, sentient and non-sentient, socially, economically and politically. It is a nation that has not seen war in any living human's memory, although some of its elderly great wyrms still bear the scars of a distant militaristic past.

Social Taballas

Capital: The Home Place (Hearth, in the vernacular)

Population: 18 Million (Human: 15 Million; Dragon: 1.5 Million; Fey: 1 Million; Other: 0.5 Million)

Form of Government: Monarchical Republic.

Ruling structure: The head of state is The All Mother - a hereditory matrilinal position with overtones of a theocratic Head Priestess position. This position is balanced by an elected Senate through which the people govern themselves under the benevolent and omnipresent eyes of The All Mother.

Regions

Taballas is divided into eight political regions, known as Drakshires, and the capital. Each has deeply unique and rich identity, but each is also fiercely loyal to The All Mother and the senate.

The Home Place

Population: 2,052 (Human: 1,508; Dragon: 480; Fey: 64)

Seat of The All Mother and the senate, The Home Place is located at the geographic centre of Taballas. The exact location was chosen to prevent cityscape from usurping arable farmlands, so the city itself is built upon, some say carved from, solid stone. The Home Place is one of two locatoins in Taballas with an active doorway connecting to the Great College.
