Hesperia

The Republic of Hesperia is a nation far away from Nikan, ruled by a parliament.

History
Hesperia established embassies in Khurdalain three centuries before the story.

Hesperia intervened in the Second Poppy War on the side of the Nikara Empire after the supposed genocide of the Speerly people by the Federation of Mugen. With pressure from the Hesperians, the Federation signed the Non-Agression Pact.

Language
Fang Runin considered the Hesperian language to follow neither rhyme nor rhythm, its gramar being close to pure randomness. Noble children of Nikan are educated to speak conversational Hesperian.

Religion
Hesperia has only one church, the Order of the Holy Maker, believing in only one god, separate and above all mortal affairs, wrought in the image of the man.

The priests of the church exert more control than the Hesperian parliament. However, church and state are officially separate.

Trivia

 * Hesperia is based on the nations of Western Europe and North America, such as the United Kingdom and the United States, but perhaps particularly on the British Empire in its colonial history.
