Wittland

​​​​​The country of Wittland (formally the Sylvarchy of Wittland) is an island nation located between the continents of Vesperia and Kai-Meridia. Known as the oldest country in the world, it is over 3,000 years old, along with the wittish civilization starting in 1400 U.

The exact origins of the Witts are not known, however their legends state they come from a land far away from their Home, and they entered a great journey to come to their current Home. They created some of the Worlds greatest wonders in there Heyday, and to this day their cities remain an envy of the world.

An enigmatic people, their civilization was regarded as a myth due to the mythical appearance of their people and their cities.

Government
The government of Wittland is a form of governance called a Sylvarchy, coming from the Wittish word for ruler Sulv (note that in Wittish language there is no distinction between a Monarch and head of a republic/or a representative). It operates as a hybird between a republic and a Monarchy, every Grand Sylvan serves a hundred year term, and if they die in office then their closest male-line relative will succeed them. At the end of every term, the Sylvans will convene in the capitol of Sīnor to elect a new Grand sylvan from among themselves. However to be elected certain requirements must be met to be elected, they must hold certain amounts of power to not be a puppet, be male, be of age, and be healthy. Those descended from previous Grand Sylvans are known as Jæγo (lit: The esteemed). Cities are fairly autonomous with being able to determine their own method of governance.

People
The Witts are a people of White skin, along with unusual Silver to platinum hair, and blue eyes. Regarded as incredibly beautiful to the point of being inhuman by the rest of the world, their genetics can be found across the world due to Witts being kidnapped for use as sex slaves, concubines, and etc. Their looks were so incredible that most of the world thought they were naught but myths, except for the Bersanians, Vespians, and to a lesser extent the Kaijins who they kept contact with. The exact origins of the Witts are an enigma to modern day scientists, as there is no genetic link from them to other whites, and the exact place of origin of the Witts is completly unknown. Due to the fact that Wittish traits are considered dominant against nearly every other ethnic trait (with the exception of Vespians) it is unknown why this occurs, as the traits arent particulary advantegous and arent original traits of Humanity like Brown Eyes, and dark skin. Some theorize that the Witts are actually Albino vespians that colonized the islands, but genetic and archaelogical evidence refutes this, another theory is that due to the predujice and supsicion those with darker skin and brown eyes along with Dark hair face in Wittish society that these traits completly died out, but it also doesnt explain why the Wittish traits are dominant.
