About Draviskas:
ﾒ Meat in Draviskas was completely free due to extremely abundant production using advanced artificial technology.
ﾒ Despite being one of the largest meat-producing nations, the average person's diet was similar to that of other countries.
ﾒ The main weapon used in the state is called a Flesh Cluster. It is an amorphous, mutant mass of flesh that attacks anything in its path without thought or control.
ﾒ Draviskas is one of the most diplomatic nations in Eldervale. It has a vast internal market network that supports strong trade and commerce.
ﾒ Some buildings are constructed entirely from meat. These structures are not meant to be eaten, and consuming them is considered vandalism.
ﾒ There is a massive river created entirely by the Dravkai people.It is estimated to be over 30,000 km long and has a red appearance. The river took hundreds of years to build and is used as an energy source for meat production.
ﾒ There is no recorded history of where the people of Draviskas came from. However, they are believed to have lived in the land for millions of years.
ﾒ Draviskas is one of the most multilingual nations in Eldervale. On average, a person speaks more than three languages due to trade demands and cultural interest in languages.
ﾒ People in Draviskas sleep very little - about 4 hours on average.bThis is likely due to the effects of their diet.
Brief modern history:
I. THE VELVET STATIC COUP AND THE RISE OF MILITARY GOVERNANCE (1176–1181)
On 4 June 1176, Draviskas entered a period of profound instability with the Velvet Static Coup. The crisis originated from an escalating jurisdictional dispute between the Central Government and the Fifth Column, the state's principal enforcement apparatus. Concerned by the Column's growing autonomy, the Central Government attempted to subsume it under civilian authority and launched a preemptive operation to detain senior officials. A high-ranking military officer was killed during the escort phase, triggering open hostilities between governmental and military factions. Armed confrontations proliferated across multiple regions. On 18 June, military forces intercepted and captured the Head of State while en route to a diplomatic conference. Following this decapitation strike, civilian and military institutions were consolidated under a unified military command.
On 8 March 1181, the ruling military council promulgated the National Stabilization and Continuity Act, formally institutionalizing military governance. All administrative procedures were subordinated to military oversight, and a comprehensive penal code imposing severe sanctions was enacted to regulate civilian conduct. These measures were justified as necessary responses to clandestine opposition movements emerging within the state apparatus.
II. THE TWELFTH MOVEMENT AND THE CIVIL WAR (1183–1185)
By 1183, the cumulative effects of authoritarian governance - expanded regulatory controls, increased taxation, and endemic corruption - had generated widespread discontent. On 12 February, the Twelfth Movement emerged as the first organized resistance, initiating demonstrations and civil disturbances. The Friction Uprising and the concurrent Axis Protests followed across southern and eastern territories. These movements received substantial material and logistical support from foreign powers: Kelpiekirk, Alcludion, Cathair Grom, and Kernevel.
The convergence of insurrections escalated into full-scale civil war. Foreign volunteer contingents augmented opposition forces. Within two months, the military regime collapsed. The former Head of State was captured and, according to contemporaneous accounts, subjected to experimental bioresearch procedures - an early indication of the state's developing interest in flesh-based technologies.
Following hostilities, a Grand Election was convened among the three principal revolutionary factions to determine unified leadership. Skomantas Widriks was elected Head of State, whereupon the factions merged into a single governing coalition. To consolidate power and eliminate residual loyalist elements, Widriks authorized the systematic execution of former regime officials.
III. BIOTECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT AND THE SIXTH MEAT CRISIS (1193–1214)
In 1193, Draviskan researchers achieved a significant breakthrough in synthetic protein cultivation, successfully developing a new generation of artificial meat products with enhanced nutritional profiles and streamlined production. This advancement positioned the state as an emerging center for biotechnological innovation.
In February 1214, a catastrophic manufacturing error triggered the Sixth Meat Crisis. Widespread contamination of meat supplies produced acute nationwide shortages and distribution of adulterated products posing lethal health risks. The ensuing five-month famine produced desperate conditions, including documented instances of anthropophagy - the consumption of deceased individuals. This practice facilitated the rapid transmission of a virulent pathogen causing a seven-day terminal illness in untreated patients.
The crisis precipitated severe erosion of public confidence. Mass protests escalated into armed confrontations between civilians and security forces. Faced with imminent civil conflict, Head of State Warglauks Perkunaitis voluntarily abdicated, transferring authority to Rimgalns Dalkrants, whose conciliatory policies restored relative stability.
IV. EXPANSION OF BIOTECHNOLOGICAL INDUSTRIES (1236–1242)
In October 1236, Draviskas achieved industrial-scale production of humanoid biological constructs - anatomically complete figures lacking consciousness but possessing functional physiological systems. These entities rapidly became a primary export commodity in regional trade networks.
In September 1240, state laboratories produced an advanced Flesh Cluster prototype. Flesh Clusters - Draviskas's signature biological weapons - consist of amalgamated organic tissue shaped into variable configurations. These constructs exhibit absence of cognitive function, indiscriminate aggressive behavior, and improved controllability.
On 23 May 1242, Draviskan production capacity achieved a state of protein surplus, enabling universal free distribution of meat products to the civilian population.
V. THE ERA OF FRAGMENTATION (1245–1255)
Between 1245 and 1251, Draviskas experienced protracted institutional conflict over regulation of flesh-based commodity trading, administrative jurisdiction over the expanding Flesh Cluster program, and proposals for an independent biological weapons oversight department. These unresolved debates culminated in governmental paralysis. On 30 June 1251, Draviskas fragmented into eleven autonomous regimes engaged in continuous low-intensity conflict.
On 5 January 1252, Wargis Kaulins launched the Northern Odyssey Campaign to reunify the northern fragments. Despite initial successes, the campaign suffered decisive defeats: the Battle of Sembin (21 March 1252), Battle of Skalven (April), and Battle of Gintara (April) all ended in defeat by the United Northern Front. The campaign terminated in May 1252, having destabilized both the Wargis regime and the victorious northern coalition.
On 6 August 1252, the Grand Three Will commenced - a tripartite conflict among the northern factions: the Taut, the Bralg, and the Kalt. The war was characterized by fluid frontlines and widespread deployment of experimental biological agents. The Siege of Perkaitis (12 October 1252) exemplified the intensity: the city changed hands repeatedly over ninety days before the Kalt established a defensible position. The Day After (December 1252 – April 1253) featured a flesh-merging pathogen causing rapid tissue liquefaction and involuntary amalgamation. The largest recorded Flesh Cluster from this period measured approximately thirty kilometers in height and ten kilometers in width, formed from casualties across all belligerent factions.
Concurrent with northern hostilities, the Wargis regime disintegrated into five successor states. Perkunis Gintaris unified the southern territories through the Narrow Sky Operation (15 June – 30 September 1253), but attrition delayed further expansion. By May 1253, both Perkunis (South) and the Kalt (North) had consolidated. The Kalt established extensive defensive fortifications, including the Kersiburg Stronghold, which repelled repeated southern offensives. The Battle of Saldapis (10 – 30 November 1253) marked the first breakthrough, forcing Kalt withdrawal, but in 1254, Kalt forces achieved gains in the southwestern sector.
Popular discontent in both regimes - stemming from conscription of civilians for Flesh Cluster production - facilitated the emergence of the Galindor Druwinis Witan (GDW), a clandestine organization operating across both territories. On 1 January 1255, the GDW launched coordinated uprisings, rapidly acquiring territory from both exhausted regimes. The Kalt collapsed on 3 June 1255; Perkunis collapsed on 17 June 1255. Kintautas Targelis was subsequently elected Head of State, initiating a period of reconstruction and cultural revitalization.
VI. THE KINTAI MOVEMENT AND POSTWAR GOVERNANCE (1261–1281)
In 1261, the Kintai - a traditionalist opposition collective comprising approximately ten members from diverse professional backgrounds - was established in response to perceived revisionist tendencies under the Targelis administration. For several years, Kintai operated clandestinely, cultivating influence among political officers and propagandists. The Candle Protest (April – 12 May 1265) represented its most significant public action. The demonstration was forcibly suppressed; key figures were detained, and subsequent legislation imposed stringent restrictions on organizational activities. Kintai was significantly weakened but not eliminated.
Throughout the 1270s, Draviskan biotechnologists developed an enhanced Flesh Cluster generation featuring increased strength and velocity, improved command responsiveness, and self-destruct capability for emergency deployment. Production requirements remained substantial, necessitating large organic material inputs.
On 7 November 1279, longstanding tensions with Hleidisland culminated in the outbreak of the Southern Campaign. Despite initial Flesh Cluster deployments causing operational difficulties for Hleidisland forces, Draviskan defenses proved insufficient. The Siege of Brastin (January–March 1280) ended in Draviskan defeat; the garrison, reduced to consuming unstable Flesh Clusters, suffered internal detonations. On 13 July 1281, Hleidisland captured the Saldune River, enabling deep territorial penetration. On 3 October 1281, Draviskas capitulated alongside co-belligerents Raginheim and Toutanglom.
Military defeat triggered widespread civil disorder. Head of State Swaykstas Girdenis was removed, and protests escalated into armed uprisings across multiple zones. Amid the chaos, Kintai resurged as a mass movement. On 23 December 1281, following governmental abdication, Kintai assumed authority, with Nadruwas Skomirgis installed as Head of State under a mandate of national restoration.
VII. THE DOCTRINE OF STONE AND BLOOD (1281–1337)
Governance under the Doctrine of Stone and Blood entailed comprehensive elimination of residual insurgencies (1282–1283), extreme militarization of state institutions, and accelerated Flesh Cluster development, including aerial-capable variants.
The Second Great War of Eldervale - Draviskas Theatre (1292–1294)
On 8 March 1292, Draviskas declared war on Hleidisland. The initial offensive featured unprecedented Flesh Cluster deployment, enabling recovery of previously annexed territories. The Red Quiet (31 March – 29 October 1292) was a defensive phase characterized by intensive biological warfare, with hundreds of Flesh Clusters released weekly. The Battle of Kintawen (14 June – 23 July 1292) represented the largest engagement of the campaign, with an estimated five hundred Flesh Clusters deployed. The resulting organic mass impeded enemy mobility, and Hleidisland forces withdrew when battlefield conditions precluded conventional operations.
The Battle of Prustor (13 April – 23 June 1293) witnessed construction of the largest recorded Flesh Wall: approximately one hundred meters in height spanning the entire front. This structure temporarily halted Hleidisland advances. By mid-1293, frontlines were dominated by decomposing organic matter, attracting insect infestations during summer months.
The Hundred Days Painted in Red (1293 – 2 June 1294) was fought primarily across the Lauskin and Semma plains. This attritional campaign produced extreme casualties and environmental conditions. Soldiers became mired in dense organic deposits, and contemporaneous accounts describe sufficient hemoglobin saturation to produce atmospheric discoloration. Both forces reached exhaustion, though Hleidisland retained offensive capability until the Pax of Seraphic was announced on 29 June 1294. Draviskas signed the treaty on 5 July, securing territorial restoration.
Despite nominal victory, Draviskas sustained catastrophic infrastructure damage. Residual Flesh Cluster material necessitated regional evacuations; comprehensive remediation required approximately five years. In August 1306, a significant organic mass breached eastern regional sewage systems, spreading to surface infrastructure before containment three weeks later.
Between 1311 and 1319, Draviskas maintained substantial involvement in the civil conflicts of Kelpiekirk and Rauvolgana. The interventions proved financially burdensome, generating significant anti-war sentiment. In 1327, collaborative research with Raginheim yielded a pharmaceutical-grade meat derivative with therapeutic applications, minimal adverse effects, and high commercial value. This product catalyzed economic growth through exports throughout eastern Eldervale.
In 1333, the Coalition was reconstituted with original membership states, positioned against the Vanguard alliance led by Hleidisland. On 14 September 1337, Marrukis Staiis assumed the position of Head of State. By the 1340s, Draviskas had achieved preeminence as a primary supplier of biological commodities to markets across Eldervale and Moorvale.
VIII. PRELUDE TO THE THIRD GREAT WAR (1355)
In 1355, the state initiated substantial enhancement of its Flesh Cluster program, fielding a new-generation platform with advanced capabilities. Draviskan development continued along this trajectory until the outbreak of the Third Great War.
Ideology Name: Carnal Apostasy
Carnal Apostasy is a political and metaphysical ideology that views consciousness as pure, infinite, and divine - trapped inside a decaying sack of bone, blood, and excrement that represents an insult to its true nature. Every moment spent in a body is a moment of humiliation, with hunger acting as a leash; the flesh is not a gift but the Original Crime committed against the soul. According to this belief, the gods - if they ever existed - were beings of pure intention who made the error of creating matter, and to create a world of flesh was an act of cosmic madness. Humanity's duty is therefore to correct this error through Reverse Genesis: to take the material world, including the human body, and return it to the nothingness from which it should never have been summoned. Physical fitness is not required beyond minimal survival - muscle is just extra meat - and sexual activity is permitted only for sterile, dispassionate reproduction to maintain population quota, though creating new flesh is considered the most unforgivable act in existence because each act of reproduction does not create a new soul but rather captures a pure, unbound fragment of cosmic consciousness and hammers it into a prison of blood and bone. Parents are thus not givers of life but cosmic criminals, and upon reaching biological maturity, all citizens are required to undergo permanent sterilization - not as punishment but as a Jubilee. The end goal of Carnal Apostasy is not death, for death is insufficient (the soul might linger or reincarnate into new flesh); the goal is absolute dissolution, where the liberated soul does not go to a paradise of pleasure but to a dimension of pure, featureless consciousness with no form, no hunger, no pain, no love, no loss - only Awareness Without Object, which is the highest existence. The ultimate political objective is not to rule the world but to End the World of Flesh, and even shedding the body is not the final step: the memory of having been embodied is itself a lingering contamination, a phantom scar that the liberated soul must still learn to erase.
