Seleyth is a landlocked nation in Southwest [[Gondwana]]. It is bordered by [[Amara]] to the north, [[Sawernalia]] to the west, [[Ryza]] to the southwest, [[Nyxieta]] to the southeast, and [[Balnakia]] to the east. |

The majority of the nation is characterized by the Seleythen Plateau, a vast elevated landmass home to most of the Seleythen people. The plateau is relatively flat at the top, with occasional peaks in elevation. The isolated nature of the landmass limits biodiversity in the region, but human and Lutryne settlers have brought in livestock to graze. |

The Seleythen Plateau is dotted with many lakes - brackish and freshwater alike - which provide the majority of the water to the nation.

The plateau is where most of the cities of Seleyth have been built, arduous tasks without value to the Seleythen People’s republic. Oil was discovered in the 20th century, but Tretridian extraction efforts ended shortly after, leaving most of it untapped. Adjacent to most of the major cities and settlements of Seleyth, diamond mines are commonplace, reaching deep into the Urth for riches.

As the plateau lowers into the outskirts of the country, Karst caves are easily visible. These Karsts have been long since excavated, turned into long mine shafts connecting with some of the other major diamond mines. Although some Seleythens have gone caving in these Karsts, they are merely a footnote compared to the rest of the region. Past these Karsts and under the sprawling plateau, the topography flattens out once more into grassy lowlands. Blessed with a few major rivers, these lowlands are home to sprawling plantations, once used for cash crops but now used to support a modern population with living on an infertile plateau. |

Seleythen climate is relatively cold, with most of the country located on the edge of a Dfb climate on the Köppen system. The summers are relatively warm throughout most of the nation, but in some areas on the edge of the borders the summers can get scorching hot. Otherwise, those areas are more temperate, a respite from the colder reaches of the Seleythen nation. The country has no dry season, which contributes to humid weather in the summers, especially. Rain is abundant in Seleyth, often used to supplement insufficient water supplies by poorer villages and towns under Seleythen rule. Storms are also commonplace, formerly believed to be a sign of fickle and angry gods. |

The People’s Republic of Seleyth, commonly known as Seleyth is a sovereign developing country in former Tretridian Southwest Gondwana. The nation shares land borders with five countries - Amara in the north, Sawernalia in the west, Ryza in the southwest, Nyxieta in the southeast, and Balnakia in the east.
Seleyth is a military dictatorship, with the government dominated by Ra-kheperu and his strongest generals. Legislation is handled by unicameral legislature consisting of legislators elected by all Lutryne Seleythen citizens, but is subject to Ra-kheperu’s approval or refusal. Some civil Ministers handle minor areas of the bureaucracy, but the government mostly focuses on the military and the industry behind it. The capital is Inebu-hedj, a medium density city with an estimated population of around one million.
Seleyth has a poor state-controlled economy with the vast majority of resources and wealth being invested into the military. Unemployment is frequent, income is low, and all the sources of wealth have been untapped since the 19th century. Currently, Seleyth is attempting to industrialize, especially towards the center of the country, but is struggling. The nation is kept afloat by foreign communist suppliers and its hyperfocus on its military.
Geography
Seleyth is a landlocked nation in Southwest Gondwana. It is bordered by Amara to the north, Sawernalia to the west, Ryza to the southwest, Nyxieta to the southeast, and Balnakia to the east.
The majority of the nation is characterized by the Seleythen Plateau, a vast elevated landmass home to most of the Seleythen people. The plateau is relatively flat at the top, with occasional peaks in elevation. The isolated nature of the landmass limits biodiversity in the region, but human and Lutryne settlers have brought in livestock to graze.
The Seleythen Plateau is dotted with many lakes - brackish and freshwater alike - which provide the majority of the water to the nation. In between these lakes, the terrain is mostly grassland, with some areas rockier than others. The plateau is where most of the cities of Seleyth have been built, arduous tasks without value to the Seleythen People’s republic. Oil was discovered in the 20th century, but Tretridian extraction efforts ended shortly after, leaving most of it untapped. Adjacent to most of the major cities and settlements of Seleyth, diamond mines are commonplace, reaching deep into the Urth for riches. Despite a century of mining by the Tretridians, a vast quantity of wealth remains unexploited underground.
As the plateau lowers into the outskirts of the country, Karst caves are easily visible. These Karsts have been long since excavated, turned into long mine shafts connecting with some of the other major diamond mines. Although some Seleythens have gone caving in these Karsts, they are merely a footnote compared to the rest of the region. Past these Karsts and under the sprawling plateau, the topography flattens out once more into grassy lowlands. Blessed with a few major rivers, these lowlands are home to sprawling plantations, once used for cash crops but now used to support a modern population with living on an infertile plateau.
Seleythen climate is relatively cold, with most of the country located on the edge of a Dfb climate on the Köppen system. The summers are relatively warm throughout most of the nation, but in some areas on the edge of the borders the summers can get scorching hot. Otherwise, those areas are more temperate, a respite from the colder reaches of the Seleythen nation. The country has no dry season, which contributes to humid weather in the summers, especially. Rain is abundant in Seleyth, often used to supplement insufficient water supplies by poorer villages and towns under Seleythen rule.
