Shangri-La

History
On the eastern side of the Ascadian Sea lies the seemingly isolated country of Shangri-La. Formed vaguely 5 era's ago, this country and it's natives have always valued honor and respect. For a long time they kept their secrets about life and their training styles to themselves. It wasn't until the Nadroj Civil War of 2E:??? that they were forced to teach outsiders the ways of their land. Before the war, Shangri-La used to be politically separate as a battle of ideology raged between the east and west.

During the war, many battles took place in Shangri-La as current day Amora fought with modern day Chora.

Once the dust settled after the great war and the newly formed countries formed, the entire continent formed a sort of central government. Each country was ruled individually, but once every 10 years, the leaders of all 17 countries come together, meeting at ?????? to discuss current events.

Shangri-La in the sixth era is not so isolated as it was so long ago, many of the descendants of Shangri-La natives now like to serve the temple of Dagmar. Shangri-La is a popular training place for many monks and fighters and homeland for many Changelings, Dragonborn, and Hobgoblins. One of the most favored Dojo's is one in Shangri-La's capital city of Yucatan named Jean Francois' Training Under Focused Fighting Dojo.

Politics
Shangri-La functions under a Democratic-Monarchy

This means that almost all government positions are chosen by the vote of the people. The highest position, the Governor, is a title that is passed down through the Royal Family's bloodline.

There are three parties that most of the country falls under:

The Eco Pacifists

The World Defenders

The Defiance Union

Major Settlements
Yucatan (Capital City)

Turuun

Matad (Coastal Town)

Khurmen
