Geography
 |
The Arctic
The Arctic is a mountainous tundra region with year round snow because of the altitude, though lower regions do experience rain and greenery during the summer. The majority of indigenous food in the Artic is meat based typically fish and caribou. In recent years because of the meat ban in the country, their has been a considerable effort made to import food from the plainsland, however most people are still eligible for meat permits. The region is big for large server, mainly because of it's effective cooling temperatures. It also features it's own gulf in the far north. In addition the Great Martial Arts Temple is located there, and it is the region in which Emperor Lexam Reconlaf was born.
The Forest of Dunganelle
The Valley of Pillars The Valley of pillars is a valley that is surrounded by a circle of small mountains with one entrance on the ground at the north-west of the valley. This entrence is known as the Gateway. As a result of the inaccessibility and the valley being held sacred by locals, the valley has remained mostly untouched by people. They exception being for the Emperor, the Dungaly Queen, and the scientists studying the unique species of that region. A pathway and large house has been constructed near the entrance for them to stay when working in the area. Tourists and citizens are now allowed to enter the Valley but must remain on the built path as to not disturb the Valley. The path is in total around 68.6 km long, but only goes about 20km in. You can in addition go up a cable car to tourist peak. Tourist peak is the only stone pillar that people are allowed to travel to the top.
The Plainsland
The Plainsland is an area of long stretching plains that lend itself well to farming. Feilds of wild wheat can be found throughout the area. There are also plenty of horses and bovine species.
The Gulf
 |
The majority of the Gulf is farm land due to good irrigation from the gulf, combined with the terrain being mostly plains. Farm lands are populated by small towns and villages all around, with larger cities more distanced. However Capoliton is a marvel of modern architecture. It is a huge city containing the largest studies academy (a studies academy is similar to a university) on the island, the Imperial Academy of Higher Education (IAHE) and the Knight's Acadamie. It also has a number of museums and high tech libraries. The Lexian Symposium Park was also recently constructed.
The city planer, Wolfe Jager was appointed directly by the Emperor himself, he has made many changes to the city and designed some of the buildings themselves. Jager is known for his love of literary and artistic absurdity, which can often be seen in the buildings he approves and how he plans the city. Jagers was a foreign architect who had difficulty getting jobs due to his buildings being too outlandish for most cities. In an interview with the Blizatinian Island Report Jager said "I used to be laughed at for my designed, then I'm offered a job to rebuild almost an entire capital city. It was a chance that I was never going to get again." When asked why he thought that he was chosen he replied "I think that he (Emporer Lexam Reconlaf) wanted to create something unique, beautiful, and astounding, whereas in this business most others want practicality and functionality." The Emperor's fondness of Jagers was demonstrated on 15th of November 2 BIC when Emperor Lexam Reconlaf appointed Jagers holder of the Capolitan seat in the The Imperial Council, replacing Duke Columbus Glynn.
Large sections of Capoliton were destroyed during the sacking of Capoliton in BIC -8. Then king Lexam Reconlaf spent the next three years laying down the frame work and instructor for Capoliton before passing the job to Jager, and continuing his campaign. Jagers designs are featured around the city. Although the city is still being rebuilt many districts have been rebuilt, some of them expanded, and even some new districts have been built.

Most of these are still used in provincial governments however everything is required to be in English. Emperor Lexam Reconlaf streamlined everything into one language to unify the country and allow everyone to speak with one another. In addition English because of globalisation was already spoken by many of the inhabitants of Blizatine.
Multiculturalism
Blizatinians care about their roots, certain aspects in particular. The empire has set up many museums to show off their history. The empire also has exhibitions for history of places around the world containing historical art from those regions, which has caused international issues.

Students are taught about other cultures within Blizatine and languages.
Martial Arts
Emperor Lexam Reconlaf is not called "the greatest martial artist under the sky" without reason. His Imperial Majesty was raised in The Great Mountain Temple, and has practiced martial arts for nearly all his life. At the age 18 he had mastered all of the native Blizatinian styles and merged them into the Snow Fist Style, with which His Imperial Majesty was able to win the Great 52nd Generational Martial Arts Tournament in 8 PIP. The Snow Fist Style is now the most popular style in the Empire and is taught in elementary school. In addition the empire has sent multiple martial artists to Salahandra to learn their native martial arts to see how they can be incorporated with Blizatinian martial arts.

Economy
The Blizatinian economy is controlled by the Department of Economics. The Department is made up of both humans and sentient AI. The humans of the department make the economic decisions that will impact the nation. The sentient AI are responsible for carrying out the decisions of the humans in the most efficient manner. This significantly reduces bureaucratic mistakes and increases efficiency. There have recently been some issues in regards to the Department of Economics because of legislation prohibiting AI from running the department, which has been brought into question for discrimination since Emperor Lexam Reconlaf granted citizenship to sentient AI.
