Sante Spirite
Overview
Sante Spirite is a country located in the southwestern region of Loquille in the continent of Petra. Due to its proximity to the sea and near the equator, it has a tropical climate with a focus on fishing and trade. In the north-eastern regions, there are mines where marble is extracted and used for both building and trade.
The national language of Sante Spirite is Sanspirite, a Romance language similar to the Earth language Spanish. Sante Spirite is named after Spirite, a revolutionary who led a religious revolutionary group called Les Spirites.
History
Sante Spirite was originally split between different kingdoms in southern Loquille, many of which had strict rules that oppressed the rights of the citizens that lived there, including religion. Spirite was a figure that believed in a religion called Wicca and unified the people in the different kingdoms. The Kingdom of White Sand was the first to begin persecuting the people, which led to Les Spirites fighting back against the oppression.
This led to a violent period known as The Beheadings where Les Spirites would either defeat the monarch in charge of a kingdom, or the monarch would give in. Eventually, The Kingdom in the Sea would fall. Spirite would also fall during the final battle and would later be buried in the old castle, leaving Asteu, their right-hand man, to become the first viziér.
Asteu worked with other generals to create the constitution that Sante Spirite now follows.
Major cities
La Sutadi de Mar is the capitol and serves as both the largest city with over half of the population, as well as serving as a major point of trade and immigration from Ka'aktu Tanunate.
Culture
The majority religion is Wicca, a religion that is originally from earth with more of a focus on personal growth. Due to the relatively relaxed religious laws, Santistes are generally more open towards different interpretations of gender and sexuality. This has led to three separate gender identities being officially recognized. Due to the same laws, Magic Mushrooms are not only legal, but make up one of their largest exports of luxury goods.
While the people are generally pacifist, violence is not feared and self-defense is a required course throughout their schooling.
