Map of Botan
\end{center}

As this is where this encyclopedia was written, this is the only region known to its author. I hope you understand the limitations of the technology of this time. 

\subsection{History}

An old culture mostly left to itself to develop on its own. Through many past wars, Botan has solidified into a mostly peaceful democracy that lives mostly independently of other nations, though it still has its enemies. It trades frequently with the nearby region of Gibber. 

\subsection{Geography}

A mostly warm and humid, tropical place with exceptions. The Mount Cardamom is known to be very hot nearby due to geothermic heat, but is also known to be very cold and dry at the top during the winter. Very few things grow due to the rocky and alkaline soil. 

\subsection{Demographics}

\begin{description}
\item[90\% Botanese] The native locals of Botan. While technically a blend of many historic warring national identities, people have generally come together under one national identity. 
\item[ 9\% Gibberish] Foreigners from the nearby region of Gibber. 
\item[ 1\% Other] All kinds of foreigners from all over the world, usually migrating in from the port city of (can't remember the name). 
\end{description}

\subsection{Economy}

Botan has a strong, independant economy consisting of wind, geothermic power and logistics. Food is imported from the nearby farming region of Gibber in exchange for clean energy. Some rare stones are expoerted from here as well. 

\subsection{Arts and Culture}

The accoustic guitar, guitalele, ukulele are extremely popular instruments, with folk music being the most commonly played music. Oil painting and pottery are popular here. The most commonly played sport is football, due to the accessible nature of the sport. 

\subsection{Government}

A small democracy. Truly, the region is almost entirely governed by the municipal governments rather than the national government. This is due to being an overall more impovershed region.

\subsection{Places}

{
A relatively cold city overall. The buildings are made of thick logs and the paths are paved with cobblestone and dirt.

A frequent place of invasion due to being close to the one border of the region. An ideal place for settlement frequently torn down by outside forces. There hasn't been an invasion since 1750, so this town has had time to settle properly.
