The U.S.L
Regions
The U.S.L (United Societies of Littlefolk) is a union of 45 States, with a massive hole in the middle of the country known as The Big Blowout. The bomb that created the Big Blowout and irradiated the surrounding areas was used to seemingly the kill the prior emperor of the Jade Empire and father of Wu Zaita, who went to war with U.S.L due to their gold supply, which dragons will consume, improving their magics as well as scale quality. The U.S.L is home to the Littlefolk, a catch all term for their short denizens, from some Beastfolk including antfolk and mousefolk, Dwarves and gnomes. Everyone else is considered a bigfolk, and in true U.S.L fashion they are segregated, and are often treated as slaves to do dirty work, such as conscription without proper weapons and gears in fear that they may sell their industrial and armament secrets to other continents, however after serving their time in the military and surviving it, they become civilians and are able to even run for office. Throughout the U.S.L magic is generally feared as they rarely have things like mages using it. Antfolks are key assets in quickly stabilizing regions, with the normal antfolks strong resourcefulness and work ethic useful to create settlements, warrior ants to protect the areas and the queens to act as their governor to operate the land akin to a small kingdom. Antfolk are not given traditional names, instead assigned a number and referred to with it, though recently Melvin Mosely has been giving out more names to antfolks, resulting in them developing a free will. The current president of the U.S.L is John Freedom, the Chosen Knight of Pride. Due to his prominence, Pride became the unofficial religion of the U.S.L after he was elected.
Because of the mounting pressure from dragons on the surface threatening the livelihoods of citizens, the Littlefolk began digging underground in hopes of creating safer cities to live within. But digging too deep, they were instead met with the Fungifolk, who they are currently at war with, because they are encroaching on their nation, Fungidrop, located within The Great Below. The bomb that made the big blowout also destroyed a massive amount of their land, and thus as of now peace negotiations have all failed, though still ongoing. Because no friendly agreement could be found, the fungifolk have decided to simply assimilate the littlefolk into their collective consciouness. The current chosens of the war of Littlefolks and Fungifolks are at odds even beyond from their opposite philosophies, John Freedom desiring individualist expression, while Moshi wants the ultimate equality and collectivism.
The U.S.L has airforce and navy, however the airforce has a 75% mortality rate due to dragon on plane combat being one sided, and navy poorly funded due to their war being on land and air, and not sea.
Danger Levels
States within the U.S.L can be categorized into 6 levels of danger.
Large Settlements: Marked with Blue, the safest areas to live within.
Relatively Safe: Marked with Green, safer areas that aren't quite as protected as the larger settlements but are suitable to live in.
Contested: Marked with Yellow, areas that are actively being fought over.
Contested But Losing: Marked with Orange, areas that are under siege and losing to Fungifolk invaders.
Lost Settlements: Marked with Pink, areas that have been overrun by Fungifolk forces and must be recaptured.
Ultra Mega Hostile!- Marked with Red, the most dangerous areas within the country, any who dare venture into these areas should be prepared for heavy resistance.
