III. Economy Amarek's primary import is iron ore, comprising approximately 24% of all imports in 2006. However, in recent years, the Minister of Agriculture, Lord Malachi Grimshaw, has made efforts to reduce the nation's iron ore imports, opening mines along the eastern border that were originally deemed dry. As a result, the total ore imported in the nation has reduced, from Ѣ 247 million in 2004 to just under Ѣ 200 million in 2011. Amarek's primary export is oil. Thanks to innovative new energy solutions in wind, solar, nuclear and hydro-electric power plants, Amarek is entirely energy independent, a feat which the nation takes great pride in. As a result, it is one of the largest oil exports in the world, making up roughly 5% of all oil exports worldwide.

IV. Political Divisions![]() Amarek is divided into two federal districts, Chryeldoska to the West and Allyrius to the East, which are then divided into regions, which can then be divided into prefectures in Allyrius and townships in Chryeldoska. Chryeldoska The regions of Chryeldoska are primarily agricultural, with most of the citizens living in small towns or in isolation. With highly fertile soil, crops in the Chryeldoska is comprised of three regions: Valkyra to the North, Osinova to the Southeast, and Kalinka to the Southwest. Between the three regions, there are a total of 23 townships. The citizens of Chryeldoska are primarily unified in their beliefs that a life devoted to simple living without excess is the key to gain entrance into Endgaard, the field of angels. Thus they devote their lives to their patron god, Chryeldos, the god of the harvest and the hunt. Allyrius The regions of Allyrius are evenly distributed between commerce and technology, with a majority of the citizens working as merchants or engineers. As such, the eastern half of Amarek is primarily occupied by the nation's upper- and middle-class citizens. Allyrius is comprised of three regions: Aventus to the North, Caelus to the South, and Machinus in the center. Between the three regions, there are a total of 35 prefectures. Although it is not technically considered a part of either federal district, many citizens consider the capital district of Dominus to be a part of Allyrius as well due to their similar philosophies in commerce and technology. Much like their western brethren, the citizens of Allyrius are primarily unified in their beliefs that a life devoted to progress and knowledge is the key to gain entrance into Bokmarite, the city of enlightenment. Thus they devote their lives to their patron goddess, Allyria, the goddess of wisdom and commerce. Dominus The capital of Amarek is located at the center of the nation, between Allyrius and Chryeldoska. Dominus, as the capital is known, is named for the gates surrounding the capital in the shape of a dome, her primary defense against invasion. Since nearly a third of the citizenry of Amarek resides in Dominus, the city has a serious overcrowding problem which had to be solved in an innovative way in the form of underground lodging. These homes are reserved for the upper-class citizens as an extra layer of safety, including a majority of Amarek's government, which are housed closer to the center of the city. This part of the city is known as Level Zero. Edited by Amarek, Jan 2 2013, 02:34 AM.

Pre-history The people of Amarek are considered to have originally resided somewhere in Western Xia, migrating south at some point prior to 25000 B.C.E. for unknown reasons. Evidence linking Amarek to the cultures of Rahab, Anu-Asiya and the Amaryk people of Intermaris seems to support this claim, but official historical documents do not yet honor this as fact. Early Settling and the introduction of the Risso People (ca. 5,000 to 1,000 B.C.E.) Southern Libera had been primarily untouched by human life. Small migratory tribes had been in and out of the area for some 10,000 years, but most journeyed back to the north along the eastern coast. It wasn't until roughly 5,000 B.C.E. that the area saw its first wave of settlers in the Unja Tribes. The Unja Tribes were settlers from the southern coast of Lesser Libera to the East seeking a greater food supply. Upon discovering the uninhabited land, they began to settle the southern coast of modern-day Amarek. (Work-in-Progress) Edited by Amarek, Dec 4 2012, 01:21 AM.
