To view the details of a particular nation, choose from the above dropdown menu and select Go. Not all of the descriptions supplied here necessarily outline nations, as some offer details on wild and unpopulated regions, places of interest and areas that are worthy of a mention. Each is laid out in the following format:

Map: each map shows the national borders of the country being explored, plus its extended borders (for those nations with empires), areas of cultural influence, friends and enemies, and those regions with which it trades. Some nations described here are in fact part of larger empires, but were once independent themselves. The maps for these nations show only their national borders, as they are otherwise, for all intent and purpose, considered to be part of the larger empire they now serve.
