My world is set in a dark adventure fantasy.
World Introduction:
There are five countries->
Verrokheim is the only country on ground due to it lacking advancement in technology. It struggles badly with its economy. 30% of its citizens are in poverty, 60% in middle class, and 10% in the upper class. The richest few have 80% of the country's wealth, 19.9% go to the middle class while only 0.1% is left for those who are poor.
It faces many issues with its government. Most officials are corrupt, feuds between gangs causes many street wars, making the causality rates fairly high. Alongside that drug, crime, and prostitution are rampant due to the stressful lives people lead here. To hit the nail in the coffin, climate change has screwed up the weather thus natural disasters are very common, especially flooding due to heavy rain.
The most important thing to people is deep connections. Comrades and family that can be trusted with lives. This is the reason for many smaller tight-knit communities in the country, though they dislike interacting with each other.
In juxtaposition, the other four countries are very strict. There is a strict two children per family policy that must be followed to balance the population and make its growth stagnant.
They have immensely powerful technology and live on the edge of planet Nova. This makes the gravitational pull on them powerful enough so that they stay in orbit, but not enough to make them fall towards the planet.
These four are also in an alliance. They have ostracised Verrokheim due to the nation's struggle in catching up to them.
