Zerrqa is a Nation in [[Nations#Anomella|Anomella]], its borders stretch form the northern shores of Anomella to the west of the [MOUNTAINRANGE], and extend southward until it reaches the westward branch of [MOUNTAINRANGE], and contain the northern branch of the mountains. Its borders form east to west are about 1000 Miles (about the distance from Greenville, South Carolina to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma), and from north to south is about 850 Miles (about the distance from Birmingham, Alabama, to Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin).<br> | Zerrqa is a Nation in [[Nations#Anomella|Anomella]], its borders stretch form the northern shores of Anomella to the west of the [MOUNTAINRANGE], and extend southward until it reaches the westward branch of [MOUNTAINRANGE], and contain the northern branch of the mountains.

Zerrqa is a primarily [[Vespoid]] nation, and used to be one nation with [[Zhrrq]], but after the Aberrant Cataclysm in Anomella, they split due to necessity. In their unified state, they were ruled by a monarchy of Queens, but during the Cataclysm, the primarily line of Queens was killed, causing the split of the two Nations. Zhrrq remains to an offshoot branch of Queens, while Zerrqa uses a form of democracy using a council from the offshoot Queens, rather than direct rule by them. Zerrqa and Zhrrq remain allies, but this alliance is very tense as they drift in opposite directions politically and governmentally. Both nations state their intention and desire to reunite, but few actions are being done to achieve this end.<br> | Zerrqa is a primarily [[Vespoid]] nation, and used to be one nation with [[Zhrrq]], but after the Aberrant Cataclysm in Anomella, they split due to necessity.

The military of Zerrqa is fairly well organized, and is primarily made up of voluntary service, and used as a form of criminal punishment. Their military is primarily used for protecting their cities, and their trade expeditions. Zerrqa's biggest non-national threats are the Aberrations that reside in their lands, the cold desert that the nation finds itself in, allowing for very few basic necessities, as well as both mundane and aberrant wild animals that hunt Zerrqan citizens as a form of food in the sparse environment.<br> | |||

Due to the amount of magic being used in Anomella, whether by Aberrant or natural sources, the ore in [MOUNTAINRANGE] has taken on some natural Resonance. This Resonant Ore is the primary export of Zerrqa. They primarily ship this ore to [[Zheshier]] in [[Nations#Steelshroud|Steelshroud]], in exchange for technology and inventions made by the [[Gnome|Gnomes]] who live there. They also sell both the ore and technology to [[Kálòo-òo]] in exchange for food and basic necessities, as well as [[Kalakwaela]], in exchange for using their scholars to reverse engineer and produce more technology. | Due to the amount of magic being used in Anomella, whether by Aberrant or natural sources, the ore in [MOUNTAINRANGE] has taken on some natural Resonance.

One of the biggest dangers to the Zerrqan economy is [[Lead Dragon|Bestial Lead Dragons]] that reside in [MOUNTAINRANGE], stirred up by mining deeper and farther. | |||

After the Hiverift, Zerrqa took on a democratic form of government, using a combined council of Queenskin, descendants from the original Queens that still hold some level of authority, as well as direct democracy from the remaining citizens.

The Queenscouncil puts forth potential legislation, which is then voted on by the populace, needing a three quarters majority to be passed. This started out as fairly rudimentary and lengthy, but with technology from Zheshier, this process has been streamlined.<br> | ||
The Queenscouncil is primarily composed of Vespoid Queenskin, but a few members are out of this pattern, with one or two Gnomes, a Dwarf, a Phrenian, and [[Quartz Dragon]]. | |||
