Headcanons to establish some worldbuilding ig
Representations live in a parallel universe to Earth. They can access Earth through a portal at the center of their world, where the Continenthumans and Organizations live. Some humans live in this parallel universe and sometimes marry representation.
There are several cities in this world for each type of representation (countries, states/territories/provinces, organizations, cities, etc.). The different types of representation can interact between cities, and some live in cities with an other type of representation.
Each city is split between 6 districts:
Red; America (North, Central and South)
Blue; Europe
Black; Africa
Yellow; Asia
Green; Oceania
White; Central
Central is much more of an administrative district, where meetings, schools, banks, etc. are. It is also where a portal to the center of the world is and where the Organizations tend to stay if necessary.
Depending on which country, they can be governmental secrets or national celebrities, politically important or just a figure head to boost a government's reputation. Countries tend to use human disguises and names while on Earth as an extra precaution.
Countries and some other representations that have enough independence have a "Favour" (or "Favor" if you happen to be 'murican) that are granted by Continenthumans (+Mesopotamia), which are a set of powers some have.
Depending on who granted the Favour, the general vibe and theme is going to differ.
America; Science based (eg. Germany manipulating and modifying the laws of physics)
Europe; Mind and arts related (eg. France using ppl's love and/or hate to manipulate them for his own means)
Africa; Minerals (eg. Seychelles goldbending)(yes, that is a metalbending reference. I couldn't figure out how to describe it otherwise)
Asia; Energy and spiritual connections (eg. China utilizing ppl's life force to create things)
Oceania; raw elemental power (eg. Mexico and Canada having warm and cool air respectively) (trust me, they're cooler than they sound, they can make hurricanes)
Doggerland(bro's so dedicated to his job he still granting Favours despite sinking); the wild and unknown, and folklore related stuff (eg. England straight up Thanos snapping ppl's existence away including everyone's memories of them and any records of their existence)
Mesopotamia(again, he really dedicated, he don't care he's fallen); all forms of divination and civilisation stuff (eg. Israel being basically a prophet) (yes, I know Israel is kinda controversial, but IDF and Israel himself are different people in my headcanons. I am not lumping Israeli civilians with the Israeli government, especially since the IDF have reportedly shot an Israeli civilian when he stopped Hamas soldiers from shooting at people at a bus stop. I am 100% against the IDF and their crimes. Thank you for listening to my Ted talk.)
A country doesn't have to have a Favour from their own continent (like an Asian country could have a Favour from Doggerland).
Direct descendants of a continent tend to have a more powerful Favour.
They also have a Debt, which happens after using their Favour. The more powerful or abstract a Favour is, the more severe and longterm the Dept is. A Debt can sometimes be reversed, though not completely, and it is extremely difficult and possibly painful.
Debts are sorted in several categories; short term and longterm, physical, mental, emotional and all, and approximate toll on the user on a scale to 10.
For example, England's Debt is classified asLA9 (Longterm, All, 9/10), while Scotland's is classified SP5 (Short term, physical, 5/10)
Some people have 4 digits in their classification because their Dept is both physical and mental, or any other combination. In this case, the letters will appear in order of how taxing on a person. For example, with someone whose Debt is exhaustion and a complete emotional detachment, the letters will appear as EP (Emotional and Physical), because exhaustion is less consequential than being neutral towards everything.
