Zama, officially the Kingdom of Zama is an absolute monarchy located in Western Varisia that borders Hiraeth to the north and Marsonia to the west. Since its foundation, the country has been notorious for its fragile stability and intermittent periods of political turmoil. Located mostly within the mountainous region of Western Varisia, the country lacks access to clean drinking water, which has played a primary role in most conflicts in its history.

History

Throughout its history, Zama was the site of multiple ancient cultures and civilizations; Zama's prehistory reveals some of the earliest evidence of human existence. The area of modern-day Zama formerly consisted of parts of southern Greater Athema and all of Eneda. Through a series of conquests beginning in 1653 with the capture of Eneide, King Rein Lang founded the Kingdom of Zama in 1676.

Royal Era

Apricus was part of Greater Athema, and consequently became part of the Grand Queendom of Betancourt.

Geography

The narrow and discontinuous coastal plain stretches from the Hiraethian border in the south to central Apricus. The Apricusian mountains rise steeply parallel to the Great Shomerisian coast and form a ridge of limestone and sandstone that runs for most of the country's length.

The mountains of Apricus are drained by seasonal torrents and rivers. Apricus has 24 rivers all of which are non navigable, 20 of which originate from Mount Ceva and run through the steep gorges and into the Great Shomerisian.

Demographics

The population of Apricus is estimated to be 189,421. Apricus has witnessed a major migration wave of over 40,000 people in the 1720s, 1730s and 1740s, mainly for its relative higher standards of living.
