[hider=Description]

The Great Hylo Empire is on the west coast of the Western Landmass, and takes up less space on the map than the neighbouring Therux state but has a higher population. The Hylo were the first people to really utilise solar energy and have the monopoly on the world's Solar Orbital Farms, which have made them very self sufficent in their long and storied history. The Hylo empire is also built on pride as they are a religious people who believe in the mythical [b]Colossi[/b] great titans who used to roam the earth before humans did. They believe that Mecha technology is divinely inspired by their holy ancestors to once again walk the earth in large metal giants.

They have been in small conflicts with the idealogically different Therux State almost since inception but that has only ever come to a full scale war once, which was called the 'Western Wars' which the Hylo Empire technically won but were left too weak from battle to take over any territory and called a truce with the Therux.

The Empire is currently run by the very proud and somewhat megalomaniacal Barval Royal Family, which queen Elizibet Barval is currently the ruler of after the recent death of her husband King Remington Barval.

[hider=Post-War]
After the war the Hylo empire seems like the best place to live on the surface, the strong economy allowed the empire to recover and traces of structural damage from the conflict has all but dissapeared. This has somewhat justified the intense pride of the country's leadership, but has done nothing to quell their jingoism and paranoia. The Hylo empire continues trade with all nations but is staunchly opposed to not only immagration but also emigration. They refuse to let anyone in or out of the country which has made the already poor and opressed worker class of Hylo feel very unsafe and disenfranchised with the empire and there has been many rouge human smuggling operations to get people out of the empire and immigrate mainly to the fortune state. The Hylo empire is also pouring a lot of resources into their military, almost certain they will be attacked at some point.

[hider=Overall Description]
The people of Therux were never interested in war. The Therux state has always been the progressive and scientific nation, interested in the advancement of the human race, and truly believing in a democracy that the world can subscribe to. Sadly, this progressive way has fallen on deaf ears with the other reigons. The Hylo empire have too much resentment towards their Therux neighbours, along with the fact that their nation is steeped in pride and religion that is incompatible with the Therux culture. The Northern Frontier are delibirately isolationist, and have no desire to engage with other nations much less collaborate with them and finally the Fortune Reigon enjoy the freedom of their varied settlements and find a government too oppresive.

Therux has done well to invest its resources into nature and leads the world in the trade of vegetables, wood, fishing and medicine. The lush feilds and gardens of the Therux land are the envy of the world and through trade they provide 67% of the world's food and nearly 40% of its medicine. Like the rest of the world they do use mechs, although a very large percentage of their mechs are not primarily combat based, but instead 'worker' mechs to tend to farms and mine for precious ores, they have an effective but comparitively small military.

[hider=Post-War Description]
Therux still enjoys the fruits of its nature based economy, but after the war, it shows the most scars of conflict as seen in the coastal pictures. During the Frontier invasions the Therux state was usually the battleground as invading forces would usually enter the western landmass from the east. Not only were many peaceful citizens killed, but the already weak military and security forces were nearly wiped out, and after the ceasefire, the criminal element inside therux began to grow because of the weak police force and generally 'soft' progressive government. The leadership of Therux has grown to resent Hylo despite the coalition as they feel they were dragged into a war they didnt nessicarliy need to have due to the ambiguity of the 'Helen Tower' incedent. Now the once hopeful state is plauged with civil unrest, lack of security and a very active and dangerous drug smuggling trade born from the criminal tampering with the medicinal chemicals.
