Nanda

Summary
Mostly filled with swamps, the nation of Nanda is associated with the Nanda Swamp and the strange things that occur in it. Despite having very inhospitable lands, the nation flourishes fairly well with plenty of crop exports to keep the money flowing.

Inhabitants
A large chunk of the population are farmers or belong to Druid circles. The largest grouping of people is in Zarador, the capital. Many of the population are intrinsically tied to the swamps, either because they protect them or they farm inside them.

Government
The Monarchy is mostly a figure head that negotiates with other nations for trade and other things. In their constitution, the Monarch answers to no one, but in reality he answers to various Druid circles and farming groups, who hold the real power in the nation.
