Roqoo, formally the Divine Realm of Roqoo (Roquanian: Roqoon jumalallinen alue), is a sovereign nation occupying the #name valley in northern Alharu, which stretches from the northern arm of Chensas Lake to the #Name Bay, an estuary that flows into the Ygros Sea.
The population of over 9.8 million live predominantly in urban areas of the central valley and lowlands along the shores of the primary river Suuri, and mostly within the major population centers of Nime, Ivalo, and Navala.
The nation's largest city, Nime, is located on northern coast, a precious natural resource and center of tourism benefiting from its proximity to the sea. As the primary port and largest city, Nime, is the de facto capital of the nation and houses many of the key organs of government and international embassies. The cultural and de jure capital, Bellamy, is home to the nation's largest temple and epicenter of the national religion, Solleu Livot and the official residence of the Candar, Valtion Palace.
Roqoo is a unitary theocractic elective monarchy ruled by the religious head of state the Candar. While the nation is divided into administrative regions, all are governed by the central government through appointed calibops (Anglish: bishops) whom together form the Roquan legislative organ, the Hurskaat (lit. pious ones).
Roqoo is a developing nation with a high-income economy. Citizens enjoy universal health care and rank high in quality of life and life expectancy. Roqoo has historically remained isolated from major global affairs but has expanded relations externally in recent years, maintaining positive relations and hosting a number of diplomatic missions from many countries across Eurth.

History
Government and Politics
The government of the Divine Realm of Roqoo functions similar to that of an absolute monarchy, with absolute powers granted to the sovereign. In Roqoo, the sovereign head of state holds the title of Candar, a term borrowed from that of the historic leader of the state religion Solleu Livot. The Candar is elected by a council of Livoti elders for a lifetime appointment. Administrative and legislative functions of the government are largely handled through the Hurskaat (lit. pious ones), a commission of five appointed individuals, all of whom are primate leaders of the Solleu Livot faith. The Hurskaat consists of the Kansleri and the four calibops, each appointed by the Candar to five-year terms.
Military
Economy
The economy of Roqoo is driven by the services industry bolstered by high rates of eco-tourism, centered on the coastal resort city, Nime. With the majority of the population performing service or trade-based jobs the government has heavily subsidized mass transportation as a means to facilitate the population moving among the alliridae neighborhoods to meet the needs of the service-based economy.
Demographics
Religion
Culture
The relatively small, egalitarian population prioritizes trade-type training over higher education and reside in multi-generational homes within close-knit, communal neighborhoods, alliridae. Despite the cities being somewhat dense, they are uniquely comprised of dozens of these small, mostly self-contained neighborhoods. The salutation, nyt rizan, meaning blessings of luck, continues to persist throughout Roquan society.
Calendar
The Roquanian calendar is a solar calendar used in Roqoo. The original Roquanian calendar is one of the oldest documents maintained in the Canfre Vaults and has received little revision since its inception. The calendar consists of 365 days divided into eleven 30-day months and five 7-day festival weeks.
The customary date format is to write day followed by the two- or three-letter abbreviation depicting the month or festival week, followed by two digit year [DD/MMM/YY]. This format was adopted to clarify differences in dates of the national calendar versus those of the international standard calendar of Eurth.
The Roquan calendar was established by the Solleu Livot kirkkoherra, Radana, several hundred years ago as a means to track the mild climate of Roqoo and align Livoti rituals and traditional festivals with that of the Roquanian government.
