United Principality of Hagargentina

Area: 2.5 million square miles

Population: 31 million

National Language: Lentzic

Capital: Port Hagar

Planet: Terrana (Also colonies on Legutos)

Hagargentina is spread out over one large island, known as Greater Hagargentina, and a portion of mainland, Outer Hagargentina. Greater Hagargentina is divided into three provinces according to geography: mountainous Stonepeak, in the north; Goldplain, the highly fertile southeast; and Bigtree, a southwestern province consisting of a forest of giant trees (their size results from disaster in which large amounts of uncontrolled magical energy was released).

Though originally united, each of the three provinces broke off into independent nations, almost constantly at war with each other in every concievable combination. It was after the bloodiest battle in Hagargentinian history, at Filtun Rock, (in which the fighting went all three ways) the nation re-formed. A descendent of the original House of Hagar was found, and was installed as Crown Prince. He began the construction of an entirely new capital city, Port Hagar, and accepted the requests of the the three provinces of Outer Hagargentina to join the nation. He later abdicated, leaving the throne to his son, now 16, who has proven to be a remarkably popular ruler.

During the periods of internal strife, Hagargentina was completely shut off from the outside world. Only the occaisonal discovery of Hagargentinian artefacts, often from naval burials, kept Hagargentina from fading into myth. Once the country was united again, however, the Hagargentians rapidly rose to a powerful position on the international and even interplanetary levels. Hagargentina has one of the strongest economies on Terrana, and Port Hagar has become the largest location for international trade in the world. The Hagargentinian Royal Trading Company, owned by the Prince Regent, focuses much effort on supplying goods to more distant colonies and privateering from nations that threaten Hagargentina’s interests. There are also large manufacturing sectors based in Mountgard and Seg Valley, the capitals of Stonepeak and Goldplain, respectively.

Hagargentina runs primarily on steam, magic, steel, and money. Vast fleets of airships defend the skies, while the army pillages small, nearby countries.

Hagargentinian news will be articles from the Royal Daily, the nation’s only English language newspaper.
