Please enter a description:
Gallis is a country located in the region known as Nordika, on the northern part of the continent of Ai. It touches the southern part of the western border of Chronotopia, and is bordered on the north by the wilderness land of Sylvania. Its eastern borders touches the fringes of the mountains that border the Forbidden Zone of Bosch as well, though it has far less contact with that realm than Chronotopia.<p> Gallis' culture is ostensibly a democracy, but, in practice, it is a sham of a republic, actually dominated by an elite aristocracy. Its populace is dominated by various "dog" races found in breeds that correspond to dog breeds found on our own Earth, continued by a very rigid legal structure that greatly regulates marriage. Those who are born outside of these strictures are seen as "mongrels" or "mutts" and make up the very lowest classes of the peasants, given very little concern -- or rights. Presently, the upper class is dominated by poodles and a small consortium of other breeds, as well as the peacock- like Kujaku who can be found in positions of authority here and there. (Gallis is very big on outward appearances, and Kujakus simply look wonderful by Gallisian standards.)<p> Culture-wise, Gallis borrows heavily from what would on Earth be pre-Revolutionary France, with a bit of the pseudo-medieval and even the more recent thrown in. Art is highly valued there, and much wealth goes into museums and monuments. The most celebrated of Gallis' warriors are the Chevaliers (mounted warriors) and the Cuirassiers (armored foot warriors), notable for their extravagantly decorated armor and caparisoned drokar mounts -- and high-class notions of chivalry. (Unfortunately, this does not include respect toward the lower classes...)<p> While Rephidim Standard is in use in some areas, Gallisian is the language of choice here.
