Flag:
Nation Type: Tribes
Claims: The Gold area in Texas Mississipi Louisiana and Alabama.
Terrain: Swampish, humid, nasty.. With lots of bugs.
Government Type: Chief Ashwanni, and his four generals rule over the Badyoyo Tribes. Making it a council of sorts.
Capital: Baton Rouge, in Louisiana.
Head of State: Chief Ashwanni. He is a dark and dangerous man ruling the people through fear and force, with his loyal soldiers klling any who dare speak out against him or his generals. He appears as a man of African ancestry with skin the color of ebon. Scars line his face in a ritualistic manner where he cut them himself and include the cropping of his own ears into points. His teeth are yellowed with the use of nicotine and drugs that keep him in a constant state of euphoria, he has sharpened these teeth into points so that he can better tear flesh, and put fear into his enemies. He can often be seen wearing clothes made from alligator skin and scales.
He is a cruel merciless man without good intentions towards anyone besides him and his military forces. He is usually married to multiple wives at a time, all of whom are typically chained to the floor in his private quarters so that they cannot go more than 30 feet. He keeps so many wives as he likes variety, but typically grows bored with one after two years of being married, then he kills her and takes one or two more. To put the point home of obedience to him during his wedding celebration he has the former wife cooked and served as a centerpiece for the wedding dinner of the new wives. He is known to be a cannibal by just about the entire nation of his, and also known to be a heavy drug user. Though he is quite insane it only further influences his military to be similar as they rule through the powerful fear they cause to course through all of their citizens.
Other Important People:
General Beudreux: A Powerfulman with a strong support from his elite troops know as the Batons. He is known for wearing a Alligator head over his own and other animal skins draped over his otherwise nude body, which is covered in tattoos contrasting his albino skin. Pale pink eyes stare out of the darkness from his alligator head dress and he grins ferociously.
General Tyrese: Always covered in a coat of grease, smelling of diesel and gas. He is the General of the mobile forces anytime warriors are going anywhere in a vehicle he is the one calling the shots. He is noticeable by his large wrench that he converted into a large machete.
General Kazim: The general in charge of the backbone of the warriors in the Badyoyo tribes. He wears a loin cloth and alligator skins draped over his body with a crown of alligator teeth upon his head that have left hardened scarps in his scalp where they bit into his brown skin over and over again. His face has been tattooed with that of a white skull and his arms have white swirls tattooed up and down his arms. He can typically be found riding around in a huge eighteen wheeler mobile base that’s heavily armored with canons bolted down on the many platforms along the trailer.
General Mokimbo One of the smarter of the generals, this man actually knws how to read and write properly which has given them a boon when using old world technology so he can teach them. This has also come at a odd cost with him having many books that use old english mainly shakespearean type stories which causes him to speak in a similar manner. He tends to walk around completely nude except for a pair of boots and a turtle shell that he occasionally wears over his groin.
Population: Around 3 million give or take. Around 500,000 are slaves.
Attitude Towards Evols: They consider them blessed folk usually placing them in the hierarchy under the generals and chief. They are often used in the warbands and act as powerful sources of inspiration to those underneath them as they are believed to have powerful spirits or demons residing within their bodies.
Economic System: There is a currency system in place with bones being the primary source. Any kind of bones except for birds, are worth something as they can always be found for in some kind of use. Teeth are especially sought after especially those of humans as they make great decorations and ornaments. There is also a trade systems which is how things are given back and forth between most people, while a lot of the time military higher ups will just take what they want.
Resources: Scrap metal, slaves, seafood.
Currency: Bones or straight up trade.
Technology: A heavy mishmash of old tech, some modern, and even tribal. They throw together what they can, but sometimes they find a gold nugget like a generator that can power a building using sunlight.. But not very often. The main military has access to a natural gas valve that was left closed and so all the gas left behind in the deposit and in the lines was still there. THey don’t know for sure how much there is but it seems to be enough to regularly refilled natural gas vehicles of which they have very few.
Official Religion: Voodoo (or a bastardized version of) They believe in the dead that the dead empower the living and that they can bring the dead back to life to serve them. They typically sacrifice humans to gain their powers and wear their bones, cover themselves in the burned bodies ashes, and sometimes even eat the remains.

History: A while back the states were broke up into several different tribes, and were slowly being united under a single man, through the use of his military forces either violently forcing them to join his new union or with a helping hand. As they were unified, a general became prominent who went by the name Ashwanni. He rose to power quickly and gained the favor of all the soldiers of the tribes. He pulled upon the loyalty of the other generals and brought them into his fold as they turned and fought back against the former leader, slaughter him and his closest men as they performed their coupe and took over.
Slowly the tribes devolved from civilized people to even more primitive as Ashwanni kept any advanced good for those closest to him in stature. They ruled with iron fists as they brought more and more of the tribes into the fold eventually creating enormous warbands. SLowly they moved into what used to be Texas capturing a chunk of it as they made anyone they met either submit or killed them ruthlessly. They now look to their borders as they expand more everyday, needing more soldiers, more women to give birth to new children. Ashwanni looks to the surrounding lands as he begins to plan his next moves to conquer the peoples who surround them.
Culture: They are very primitive in train of thought and action, they use primal beliefs and practices alongside technology that they don’t truly understand though can rig together enough to make it work. Many are cannibals and all of them believe in spirits and demons, and believe that they can summon these beings to aid them in their times of need or in combat.
Military Numbers: 101,000 Roundabouts.
Military Units: The units are all very primitive in style and dress, wearing leather, scales, and shells. They sometimes wear normal clothing, but not very often. They make use of multiple types of weapons, both melee, and ranged. When they are going to battle you can sometimes hear them singing songs from a time past loudly as they march. Here is what you can expect to see in the warbands.
Badyoyo Boys: They are the backbone of the warbands coming from all walks of life, with all sorts of weapons, whatever they happen to have scavenged passed down or taken from a dead enemy. This includes, rifles, muskets, swords, knives, clubs, brass knuckles, and even more. They differ also in what they wear everything from skins to pieces of suits, and even alligator scales. They are typically on drugs of their own manufacturing such as meth, heroin, and cocaine.
Super Boys: These men have taken on a whole new level of devotion to the badyoyo tribe. They are the deadliest of the deadly they train their bodies for extremely endurance cause themselves great pain all the time so that when they are injured they ignore it even if it kills them. THey are given some of the strongest armor and some of the best weapons.
Greasey Boys: Some of the more intelligent of the warbands they help repair and run the vehicles in the warbands, they also operate the heavy weapons that are upon the vehicles as well. (Vehicles will be explained more later.)
Loud Boys: They are Badyoyo boys that control the music, they got the beat. They use loud speakers on and off vehicles to play music from the past to inspire the warriors and strike fear into the hearts of the enemies. Their favorite song happens to be “Loser” by Beck. Though they play many other things, often at the request of the Warband’s chanting, or General’s Discretions.
Watah Boys: They run the rafts, canoos and other boats of the Warbands. (More on these later.)
Ghost Boys: They paint their bodies black, they wear no clothes, and carry only swords, daggers, axes, bows, and crossbow. They are the type to find hovering over your bed while you sleep and slide the blade across your throat. They are the stealthy ones of the warbands and even the other boys don’t mess with them.
Vehicles.
Land vehicles: This includes a strange assortment of vehicles with everything from sedans, to trucks, and even some 18 wheelers. These vehicles are usually armored with scraps and weaponized with with makeshift weapons. They either run on kerosene, or natural gas.
Water Craft: They vary greatly as well, from paddle boats, and canoes, all the way to steam boats that have been fixed up to be used, which there was actually quite a few still laying around. They are typically rather well armed, Except the smaller boats of course.
