Geography

"Twelve Nations Federation" is an African country, located in central Africa. The capital is Lotharton.

Government and politics

The country has emerged as a federation of several different nations, first known as the "Riombi Federation". The federation have been in periods somewhat unstable, and on some occasions have been named "Seven Nations". The individual nation appears to be autonomous, ruled by a King or a Chieftain. Previously, it was automatic that the ruler of the greatest nation also had the role as King of the federation.

Lothar was born Prince of the Wambesi. During a visit to his old homeland he led Wambesi warriors against Besa (, the sorcerer). After defeating Besa, Lothar became crowned king of the great Wambesi tribes.
