The Colonial Holds of Heavonia (Heavonia in Common, Himmauen in Nordic, Hæffiomaa in Hæffionæg, and Vostaadnau Fel-Julsesahrol in Dovah-Zul) is a nation of islands in the region of Mystria. Principally inhabited by humans, it also has small minority populations of Mer, Beastlings, and Dragons among others. Since the 13th century Common Era it has been a colony of the Dragon States, and today is not counted as an independent country by most nations in the region.

It is very under-developed nation that lacks in significant industrialisation and which has not undergone significant urbanisation. Much of its population is poorly educated and on a low income by international standards, with clear class divides between those who work and a noble 'Ruling' Class. Much of the wealth of the nation is exported, with little investment back into local communities. This is largely enforced by colonial administrators and enterprising businessmen from the Dragon States - the Aaz-Dovah, or Draisulane.

Etymology

The term Hæffiomaa is roughly translated as the 'Land of Happy Valleys.' The words for the nation in Nordic and Common are based on the word in Hæffionæg, Anglicised or Nordicised rather than flat translations into the other languages.

In Dovah-Zul, the term Vostaadnau Fel-Julsesahrol can be roughly translated as the 'Colony of Feral Hillmen.'

Colonialism

The Nation is a colony of the Dragon States with very little autonomous governance. While some decision-making ability is devolved to local nobles and career bureaucrats from the Dragon States Colonial Administration Office, the vast majority of it is either retained by the central government of the Dragon States, or is conducted 'under advisement' of the Colonial Administrators.

Those from the Dragon States are known as Aaz-Dovah in Dovah-Zul, or Dragon Servants. In Hæffionæg this is literally translated as Draisulane. As a pejorative Oridraig - Dragon-Slave - is used by those who dislike the colonial administration.

Government

On a 'national' level the government has its executive and its unicameral legislature appointed from the nobility by the colonial Draisulane
