– the country of Harrispania is a Republic, ruled by a Parliamentary body elected by only those who are officially granted citizenship by the Alodaon Empire. The parliament of Harrispania rules the country and handles all the day to day social need of its people, but cannot change laws imposed by the Empire.
The nation-state of Harrispania is approximately 95,000 square miles in size. It is roughly rectangular in shape, wider (east to west – about 480 miles) than it is tall (north to south, 197 miles). The eastern two thirds of the country are predominately flat with some rolling hills with a strong agricultural base. The country grows narrower as it approaches the eastern seaboard, and it has 63 miles of shoreline. The western third of the country is dominated by low mountain ranges and dense forests of various pine, fir, birch, and spruce varieties. The western lowland hills are famous for the wild sweet blueberries.
The southwestern hills of Harrispania are home to a native population of humans who are slightly different from common Alodoans, and it is believed that they have a connection to the people of the lands of Tarulle. Even though these people consider themselves Alodoan, by nationality, their culture is decidedly different. These people refer to themselves as Naramites, after the major river that flows through these hills, the Naramalan River. The Naramites are a peaceful, agrarian people, with olive skin, and thick straight dark hair.
Harrispania experiences mild winters and hot summers.
The population of Harrispania is approximately 216,300 people. The population is mostly native humans (Alodoans) but there are Halflings, Iarisheans (Elves), Dwarves and Gnomes among the population.
Alodoans are fair skinned humans with thick, dark, often curly, hair, and dark eyes (though blue and green eyes are not uncommon).
To the North of Harrispania lie the countries of Palicadia, and Vurespania, and to the northeast, Baravkovia. To the west lie the Alhamdrjok Mountains, a mountain range of impassible peaks rising to almost 22,000 feet. To the south of Harrispania are the City States of Tarulle. Tarulle is mostly a vast expanse of dense hardwood forests, with a few small city-states along the southern coastline, with many small deep rivers flowing from the central mountains. Ruled by a fractured system of Oligarchies, often at war with one another.
