Standing on a tall stone pedestal over looking the capitol the Grand Nazz scanned the city. Below him was the Capitol House. The Capital House was the center of the Indican political structure and was the most elaborate building in the nation. It served as a palace for the Nazz and large forum for trading and political speech. The entire building was one story tall and was made of stonewalls and clay shingles held up my wooden support. The pedestal on which the Nazz stood over looked a grand open square that was used for various activities from grand speeches to simple buying and selling of goods.
The square was the primer forum in the nation. Forums were spread through out the country to spread news and goods. However, none was as grand as the square. The Square sat in the middle of the largest city in Indica and in the breadbasket. On the opposite side of the square houses the second most powerful force in Indica, the Farmers Union.
The Nazz still stood there on that pedestal looking at his grand domain. The sun was setting off to the west and the sky was a brilliant red. He thought to himself, “a few more minutes and it was be dark.” Taking one last look he began to step down the staircase into his grand palace. The day was done, but tomorrow was the offical start of planting season. Things were about to get busy and the Nazz could look forward to many long days and restless nights.
From his perch in the capitol Sativa the Nazz ruled over indica. Under him were advisers, generals, and governors. The governors looked over large territories. Their primary purpose was to deal with local rule and deal with the regional divisions of the farmers union. Governors also were the eyes and ears of the Nazz. It was duty of the governor to keep the Nazz well informed of his territory.
However there was another governmental institution in Indica. It was known as the Farmers union. Originally started by farmers and merchants in Sativa to spread methods to increase crop yields and transport crops. Early success sparked a great expansion in the farmers union and now it includes fisherman in the far south all away to pastoral farmers in the north. Membership is not free; there is a small tax on each member. Since the union has become so large it has started to turn its revenues to building ports and roads to move products faster and more efficiently.
Along a path a camp of solders sit and eat their lunch of bread, smoked fish, and cheese. They were clad in the Indican battle uniform and armed with short spears with sharp stone tips. They men had just come off a work detail helping a farmer plant his fields. This sort of extra work was optional but often sought after. Getting in a work detail was a great honor and solders where often fed better. Many solders where farmers sons and enjoyed the work regardless. In each job they felt they were bettering the world for their families and the families to come. However, peace didn’t seem as certain as it was in the years before. Stories of war filtered in from sailors and ran through Indica. Many wondered what the future may hold for Indica and their way of life.
