From a kingdom far from the reaches of either Azafarum or Elvieria, located at the supercontinent of Big World and one of the countries situated at the center of the planet, a supernation called Spriggania continues it's progress. It is the most powerful supernation among all supernations at Big World, given that the nation is under a military rule due to the near non-stop wars and battles that it participated. And those wars are mostly, against a very powerful empire. The Empire of Salamandria, also known as the "Most Powerful Empire". 

For a thousand decades, Spriggania is at war, but it's economy, natural resources and it's people, the spriggans also known as the night haired elves,  remained strong and firm to withstand the oppressive expansion of The Empire of Salamandria. Warring eras didn't stopped them from evolving their technology, natural resources remained abundant due to it's strict rules about consumption, the spriggans are undaunted by the power of their neighboring countries and they even considered trading products from them, some of them aren't afraid fishing in the seas and oceans despite the significant distance from the position where they are at and the lands under Sprigganian control. The main foundation of their courage is their national principle, "fear only leads to your own destruction", which is also followed by the other nations and minorities because of it's effectiveness.   

Even though the Spriggania is known for weaponry and military manpower, government, culture, art, fashion, wealth, trade, architecture, environmentalism, Spriggan relations and many more are also given importance at the supernation. Spriggan-aiding machines are built in a very efficient way, capable of doing some of the most basic works, for example, floor-sweeping, calculating, carrying heavy loads and riding, however not as advanced as those from Azafraum. The government type of Spriggania is Monarchy. Like the other casual monarchy type governments, Spriggania is ruled by either a King or a Queen, and you can only be one if you are a noble blooded spriggan. Together with the aid of the other officials namely the dukes, barons, lords and high ranking generals, the rules and laws of the kingdom is observed properly minimizing crime rate all across Spriggania.

 Sprigganians also observe some festivals yearly and three of those are the most popular namely, the "Night of the Shadow Sword" held every 9th day of Soulheix(November), in this yearly festival, the Spriggans will wear traditional kimonos and celebrate as they make certain rituals and give thanks to the warrior named as Kechiru Sagihara also known as the "Hero of the Night Hallway". The Second of the most popular festivals is the "White Sweeper" which is observed once every four years, usually during the months of either Nigotram(April) or Kabatroparius(May) accompanied by an unusual phenomenon happening at the Sprigganian mountains every four years in which a white colored smoke will cover all the mountains in a whirling manner from bottom to top, and will remain there for 24 hours. It is said that every time this thing occur, mountain trees will become much more abundant and healthier than it was before the white colored smoke covered the mountain, and because of this, the Spriggans will give thanks to their God or gods and offer them herbal offerings, and of course this festival shall be strictly observed and followed for any body who misses this event will be punished by lifetime imprisonment. And the third of their most popular festivals is called as "The Day of Forging", also known as the "Day of the Forgers" held every time the 2nd day of Junius(June) arrives. Sprigganian King Zaichiro Keruza the Handful himself officially declared this as a festival and a rule for over 2000 years ago as an honoring and thanksgiving to the forgers, craftsmen, machine inventors and the blacksmiths of Spriggania for maintaining the evolving the tech of their supernation.
