The Jalielin have a plutocratic monarchy. They are ruled by a Sultan, determined by royal family, who has authority over levying taxes and ultimate say over the judicial system, but there is also a council of twelve plutocrats, who vote on laws and logistics. The Plutocrats are the three wealthiest land owners in each of the four major cities. The Sultan is required to attend the Plutocratic Councils, and is allowed to speak their opinion, but does not have a vote in any relevant decision.

Jalielin has two mountain ranges, the | Jalielin has two mountain ranges, the Lekaajie range to the southeast, and the Jaliesh range towards the center of the nation. It also borders the Rashtik range to the east, bordering Aihwa and Kreshtek. Jalielin is very archipelagic, with very tall mountains, the Jaliesh range has an average mountain height of 4300 feet (1310 meters), and the Lakaajie range has an average mountain height of 5200 feet (1600 meters). The non-mountainous areas of Jalielin are much closer to sea level, being 80 feet (25 meters) above sea level on average. | ||

Jalielin is primarily populated by Doppelgangers, and due to the stigma associated with Doppelgangers, it has very low incoming immigration. In the three Outer Cities, there is an almost reciprocal prejudice against non-Doppelgangers immigrating to them, but the capitol of Jalielin City is much more progressive and open minded. There is an almost kinship between the Doppelgangers, Automatons, and Stoneblooms, because they are all similarly ostracized over their non-standard physiology. The overall population distribution of Jalielin is Doppelganger (85%), Automaton (6%), Stonebloom (6%), Misc. Lineages (3%). | ||

Jalielin City is the capitol of Jalielin, and is by far the most progressive of the four major cities in Jalielin. Being right next to the | Jalielin City is the capitol of Jalielin and is towards the center of the nation, and is by far the most progressive of the four major cities in Jalielin. Being right next to the Jaliesh range, their wealth is based on their mines. There is a wealth of iron and gold in the Jaliesh range, which lead to the initial building of wealth, causing Jalielin City to become the capitol. Gold and iron works are the main exports. Jalielin City has a very stratified social and wealth class, there are the very rich on the top, and the very poor who live in slums. There is a very small middle class in Jalielin City.<br> | ||

==== Jalakier ==== | |||
Jalakier is to the northwest of Jalielin, built partially into the Rashtik mountains, and the Plutocratic Councils are held there. Jalakier is very opulent and gaudy to serve consistent visits from the wealthiest citizens of Jalielin and the Sultan. Its main export is gold and silver, collected from the mines in the Rashtik mountains. If the wealth divide in Jalielin City is dramatic, then the wealth divide in Jalakier is like the distance from Stormwood to the Twisted Lands. The middle class is almost non-existent, consistency solely of oppulent aristocrats, their indentured servants, and the ultra-poor. Because of this aristocracy, Jalakier is very conservative, and does not like the immigration of non-Doppelgangers into Jalielin.<br> | |||
The population distribution of Jalakier is Doppelganger (94%), Automaton (3%), Stonebloom (2%), Misc. Lineages (1%). | |||
==== Lekajin ==== | |||
Lekajin is to the southeast of Jalielin, and is on the other side of the Jaliesh mountain range. Lekajin has a very large whaling and sealing industry, and has a very mixed economy, having a large middle class. The Sultan lives in Lekajin, in a palace built into a mountain. Lekajin has a healthy level of immigration, which is surprising due to the typical hostility towards immigrants in Jalielin. Due to the potential for coin from sealing and whaling, there are several aquatic Lineages who immigrate to Lekajin for the opportunities it poses.<br> | |||
The population distribution of Lekajin is Doppelganger (67%), Automaton (8%), Stonebloom (7%), Aquatic Infused (7%), Aquatic Elf (4%), Triton (4%), Misc Lineages (3%) | |||
==== Kalakier ==== | |||
Kalakier is to the southwest of Jalielin, and is extremely close to a Krashtek, Aiwha, nd Seesoomin city. It is the hub of diplomacy in Jalielin, and the governmental housing for diplomats is primarily located in Kalakier. Because of the diplomatic nature of Kalakier, the opinion on non-Doppelganger is very split, with about half being very against non-Doppelganger, and the other half being very accepting. There's an almost revolving door of diplomats, primarily from Krashtek, Aiwha, and Seesoomin (but also from other areas of Drakomere) that move through Kalakier discussing many different things. Because of this, the Sultan does spend much time in Kalakier.<br> | |||
The population distribution of Jalakier is Doppelganger (80%), Automaton (8%), Stonebloom (8%), Misc. Lineages (4%). | |||
