Political:

Ah’Rennet is a smaller country, ruled by a leader called the Pecun. The Pecun is chosen based on the wishes of the previous Pecun, with family members banned from being chosen. Because of Ah’Rennet’s obsession with gold, and ability to buy as many sell swords as they might need, Ah’Rennet has an incredibly small standing army of just over 200 men, ten times less than their neighbor, Bruoca. The Pecun has almost complete control over the entirety of Ah’Rennet, with the rather large exception of the treasury. That honor goes to the priests (more info in the economy and mythology sections).

Economic:

Ah’Rennet is the richest country in Uruta (the planet or realm where all of these countries exist), mainly because of the massive gold reserves buried under the sand that Ah’Rennet is constantly covered in. Although Ah’Rennet is incredibly rich, they must buy almost all of their materials for building and food from other countries, as only 2 things are able to grow in the desolate areas of Ah’Rennet: hard brush (mostly used as fuel for fires), and Eagle Spoolwood, a strange flower that is somehow able to grow in the desert. People have not found any uses for it yet.

Mythology:

The people of Ah’Rennet worship a god called “Zato”, who is the god of gold. Though there are many lesser gods in their pantheon, the most important two are Zato, and his wife Maltara. While Zalto’s godly domain is the mining and creation of pure gold, Maltara’s domain is the “spread” of gold. Her priests preach that the only way to please her is to spread gold to other places, be this via trading for goods, or from charity. Unfortunately for the citizen’s of Ah’Rennet, many people take advantage of this part of their religion, giving the Ah’Rennetans less goods for more gold, or taking advantage of their charity and begging for gold to start their new nations.

Miscellaneous:

Ah’Rennet is centered over massive gold mines, making gold almost useless to them, besides as a way to procure goods, and as a focus of their religion (read above). Most of Ah’Rennet is pure desert, with the singular example of it’s capital city, Sido. Sido is built upon a massive plate of stone, believed to be the holy place where their god was born. Because of it’s elevation over the rest of the country, it is easily defensible. If somebody were to climb to the top of it’s highest tower, they would be able to easily see the rest of the country on a clear day. Ah’Rennet has no need of an army, and keeps only a small standing one, just to show off. Of course, if they were to ever be attacked, they could easily bribe as many sell-swords as they have need of.
