1... What is the name of your world?

Dura Robu. That name isn't universal in the world itself, however. It's referred to as "the continent".

2... Countries? Territories? Any important cities?

There a different kingdoms and territories where different species like humans, fairies, vampires, and etc. live. There's also the Outlands which is the lawless land that most are scared of. There are important settlements in the outlands, most notably the "Kingdom" of Doshall and then Duskvillie.

3... What is the geography like?

It's most plains or deep forest. The mountains are reserved for dragons and harpies, and then the snowy mountains, the desert, and the swamp are part of the outlands.

4... What is the climate like?

Pretty normal in most places. Swamp is moist, mountains are cold, and desert is hot. Villages that boarder the ocean have a costal climate.

5... Who runs the world?

There is a universal leader. Each kingdom/territory has its own leader, excluding the Outlands.

6... What is the political situation?

Very corrupt. But not in a sad relatable way. In a comical "this is so stupid" way. (Hopefully.)

7... What is the economical divide? Have you got an classes?

I'll give 3 examples since all the kingdoms fall into these 3.

Human Kingdom. Has three classes. Poor, middle, and rich.Fairy Kingdom. Everyone is equally poor (but they don't consider it being poor) aside from the royal family. They don't really need money though, they can do whatever they want.Elf Territory. The don't use money, they exchange in favors and services.

8... Are there any minorities? How are they treated?

In order to be a minority, it would be a like a vampire in the Fairy Kingdom. I'll give 3 examples of how their typically treated.

Human Kingdom. If your a species that has a human form (like merfolk) or could potentially pass as human (like vampire or elf) then no one would care. However if you stand because of your unique skin color (pink for fairies, green for goblins, gray for harpies and some vampires etc.) then they'll be treated poorly and probably harassed without consequence on the human's side.Fairy Kingdom. Most people are nice and don't discriminate, however there are no protective measures.Elf Territory. They'll accept you like your own of their own. (However it doesn't happen much because their a stigma about staying with your species, other you move to the Outlands.)* It should be noted that humans are the most accepted into other places, because they can adapt the best (turning into a vampire/werewolf/merperson, can potentially learn all learnable magic that elves use).

9... Are there any religions?

It's either devoting yourself to Lady Ryena or nothing. The majority of people have no faith.

10... What does the typical day for a commoner look like?

Working and then going home. It's not too exciting.

11... What do people do for entertainment?

They can watch performances like plays, singers, that's the biggest one. After that it's like Gentlemen Clubs or sports. (Sports like ancient Greece kind of sports.)

12... Any important recent historic events that impact your world?

Vampire Queen, Beatrice the Cruel tried to eliminate the Elven race. She wiped out 1/4 of the Elven population before she was assassinated.

13... Where do people eat, and type of food is considered a luxury?

People usually either eat in their homes or taverns. Seafood is considered a luxury because there are very little places by the ocean and it's super expensive because people are scared of the ocean. (Fish people [Aquarians] and merfolk scare them.)

14... Are there any popular groups or people that act as idols?

No?

15... What does a typical family look like?

A family of five, with both parents working. Either grandparents (or other family members), the oldest sibling, or a babysitter watches the children while the parents are away at work.

16... How are children taken care of? Where do they study?

^ I answered the first part in question 15. They are taught at home in most places, except the Human Kingdom. They have schools. (Typically other species transfer into their academies if they show enough promise.)

17... Is there a unique mode of transport?

Pegasi and unicorns. Regular horses are in the Human Kingdom, but unicorns are the go to everywhere else. Usually only royalty have the pegasi.

18... Any typical animals that show up? Do people keep pets?

Unicorns are the most common ones. Do those count as pets?

19... How advanced is the technology?

Very simple machinery. I think the most advanced thing might be a water wheel.

20... Is there any magic or supernatural creatures? How are they treated?

There is both. The magic is very simple and species specific. (Most species can't even do magic.) The creatures are treated normally as long they are in their respective kingdom/territory.
