The "National Notes" thread is a consolidated place for informational posts ranging from in-depth national descriptions to character overviews. I'll be maintaining an organized list with links to posts to facilitate viewing.

If anyone feels like it, I'd recommend pinning this thread.

Faramount - Overview
Faramount is a large, costal country with a population of 92 million people. Located (TBD), Faramount consists of TBD. The climate ranges from temperate, along the coastline, to barren, especially in the large Faramount Desert. The topography of the country varies from fertile plains (along the coastline) to desert. Faramount borders (TBD).

The people of the Faramount (commonly known as Faramanians) are mostly homogenous. The majority of the population traces its ancestry to Faramount itself, however, a 17% minority call themselves "Lyonese," in reference to the long-defunct Lyon Republic. The predominant religion is Islam but the Lyonese minority is predominantly Christian and there is a small Jewish community. There is significant discrimination within the country based on race, religion, gender, and sexual orientation.

A coalition of rebel groups overthrew the "Faramount Republic" in 1994, fifteen years after a military coup turned the country into a police state, and no organization successfully restored order after that point. The Provisional Government of Faramount, essentially a group of community-minded individuals intent on national unity, control the capitol despite constant assault. The Movement for Islamic Law, a fundamentalist group commonly known as al-Qanwn (law), controls everything South of the centrally located capitol with an iron fist. The Lyon Republic, a democratic administration, de facto rules the Lyonese-dominated North despite a lack of de jure recognition. A number of warlords, militias, and community groups rule the rest of the country.

The Faramanian economy is best described as a "basket case" because of the effect of constant warfare. The biggest industry is narcotic manufacturing, unemployment hovers around 80%, and pirates often attack passing ships. The military leadership of the Faramount Republic hugely invested in the economy, creating a wondrous infrastructure, but fifteen years of civil war killed most companies. The Zalebano Corporation is the only noteworthy job provider; this former Faramanian corporation uses a mercenary army to defend its numerous mines, manufactories, and hotels.
