Lumeria

About
Lumeria is a (fictional) country and a previous territory of Japan up until 1792 (read " The Great Lumeria-Japan Agreement" for more detail). Lumeria is a massive country and a member of the G8. Lumeria's main resources are farming, fishing, forestry, and mining. Lumeria's political system is a democracy with four main parties: The Green Party, The Red Party, The Blue Party, and The Yellow Party. The political system of Lumeria is very western, and each leader can only stay in for 8 consecutive years, with an election every four years. However, a ruler can come back and run again after 4 years of not being the leader.

Geography
Lumeria in the south is located off of the mideast of Japan, while the north is located more around Russia. Lumeria is made up of 6 provinces: The Barterland Province, The Dustland Province, The Mountainlands, The Waterland Province, The Forestland Province, and The Farmland Province. Each of these provinces have their own culture and resources, and are all quite different from eachother. Lumeria is quite cold, although the Dustland and Farmland province get quite warm in the summer months.

Culture And History
Before the medival times, Lumeria was made up of two groups of people, The Mountainpeople and The Oceanpeople. These two groups traded with eachother and made 3 towns, the now captal, Seaport, the Mountainpeople reserve (a series of small villages all connected), and Key Village, a small village with inhabitants from both groups. The rest of the world didn't know Lumeria existed untill the Medival Times, where both the Russians and Japanese arrived. The Russians arrived in what is now The Waterland Province, and the Japanese arrived in all different parts of the south, thus meeting the Oceanpeople. The Japanese and Oceanpeople lived in harmony and built villages all around the south and middle of the country, such as Halifax Clearing, Stoke-On-Side and Cloyne, while the Russians made their own castles and kingdoms with the Mountainpeople in the north. Eventually, Japan claimed the country, which would last until an agreement of non-agression was signed in 1792, and Lumeria was given independance.

And that is the story of Lumeria
