In dark green on this peculiarly futuristic map is our Most Glorious Celestial Kingdom of Yanawratharyedynwlin. Despite the fact that our High King is the Only and Greatest God and Ruler of Our Great Peoples, there do exist some outlying states. Pay them no mind, as they are either unwilling or unable to submit to the will of the High King, and are thus lower than dirt!
Oh, but you want me to describe them? Fine, I will.
Our Grand Capital City of Kyaunpyawngadaw Rangyigon Ngathaichau Yriyankrungyi Yrimnpyawray Ryawngdawmyawngey Yri Yanawratharyedynlwin lies at the mouth of the Thai Chau, the Greatest, Purest, and Most Heavenly River on Earth! But above our lands, there exist two other entities, petty kingdoms of sorts, who center their entire existences on the Thai Chau. They cling like parasites to the Great River, and periodically, our Most Celestial Kingdom must give some encouragement to... brush them off.
The closer state to us is the Confederation of Myentalapuringaw. They rule themselves in an extremely amusing and pitiful way. Lost from the Light of the Kyaunthai Ngawang Shaw Ytou Ngadaw Mnaupyadawgyi Pyaw Doutsengryin, these people rely on a coalition of supposedly smart people that regular peasants choose! They call these silly processes elections, where every peasant in the country is expected to choose from amongst themselves a group of four people who will lead them for the next ten years. Imagine the disastrous consequences of having not one, but four people not of the Great Mnkrungyichau Dynasty attempting to rule a state! Nonetheless, the Four Dictators center themselves in their capital city of Yadangomandara, a city touted as grand, and sprawling, but little more than half the size of Kyaunpyawngadaw, really. Nonetheless, I will admit that Yadangomandara is the center of gem and precious metal production and distribution in the area. They can sell some fine gems.
North of them are the dirtiest of the dirty northern folks. They apparently style themselves celestial, seeing as they came from a collection of high hills even farther north. As if. Their own Kingdom of Chyangphyawngari also has the nerve to leach off the Thai Chau. Nevertheless, despite being farther north than Myentalapuringaw, they have the sense to give themselves a monarchy, and are smart enough to not call their own "king" a God like Our Own. Nonetheless, there is, like Myentalapuringaw, one good thing about Chyangphyawngari. Their capital city of Mgutkyinawngo lies atop the largest jade mine in all Mrangama, which sure nets them a pretty income. I'm actually not ashamed to admit that we buy their jade in order to make our own temples and jewelry even more grandiose.
Farther east of us, at the mouth of a dirty and weak river called Thangawyaun, there exists a similar, but very different state to us. We both lie at the mouth of a river, we both rely on rice to support our economies and livelihoods, we both rely on rivers for transportation and trade, and we both consider ourselves to be the top of the world. The thing is, we're right, and they're not. The so-called High (but really Low) Kingdom of Malwayngamaeangi is a pitiful state, lowest of the low. It is a known fact that our current Thang Ngawang wishes to crush this state into oblivion, and to incorporate its people to be our slaves. If that were to happen, His people would be much obliged. To the north of Malwayngamaeangi is quite a mysterious state that has much to offer to the Celestial Kingdom. The Shyam Kingdom, a state hidden high in the hills of the north-east, is an isolated state, far from the Celestial Kingdom. Nevertheless, tales have spread of their military prowess, great wealth, and extreme simple-mindedness. If they can be manipulated for the purpose of the Thang Ngawang, they might be able to prove a huge asset (mainly against Malwayngamaeangi).
To the west of Myentalapuringaw lies a weak, small, but rich coastal state. The Duchy of Ngrakhaeng grows rich from connecting East to West, or so they say. In reality, they only act as the client state connecting Us to Them. Still, I hate to admit that their capital city, Kyaukngapauyiu, which is really the only thing to note about them, is actually a decently sized city, with plenty of ports and harbors for ships (mainly their own) to dock at. Despite connecting us with the West, and despite our heavy and deep gratitude to them, they spit in our faces and call us weak, only because we don't have boats. The sheer nerve of them! One day, once we build our navy... They'll be sorry. But farther to the south, there exists a similar state to Ngrakhaeng. The island City-State of Khaeyangar Khyung has built an extremely centralized and rich, though still weaker and poorer than our own Celestial Kingdom, of course, state, extending their reach far into the mainland. They garner most of their riches from trade, of course, connecting us with supposedly rich and exotic nations farther south. Unlike Ngrakhaeng, though, Khaeyangar Khyung has maintained a pleasant rapport with all the Thang Ngawang they have met since their conception as a state. Indeed, Khaeyangar Khyung is one of the few, but first client states our Proud Kingdom has under Its Domain.
Tales from both Shyamnga and Khaeyangar Khyung flow to Kyaunpyawngadaw, distorted, but many in number, about a wonderous land far to the east and south. A land of warriors wearing (rather silly) feathers, a land of several exotic resources, a land of riches. A land known as Syaingawmgarn.
OOC: Go bias! Also, Siam.
