Geography: Vurstaria is the most unique of all of the other Feudal States. Due to the nature of its people, Vurstaria is split into two figurative hemispheres. One is above ground, the other is below... rather, under the water. The Vurstarians as a people are capable of breathing and living below water, therefore, their capital city, and the largest of the three is underwater out in the bay to the west. Their capital is P'rossara, named after their only deity, the God of the Ocean, P'rossa. The others cities are all based near the coast of Vurstaria, while the inland areas are either small villages, or open land used by the Vurstarian military.
The land is very rocky and rather mountainous with a few streams here and there.


Location: Vurstaria is located in the North-west of Ryerdae, bordering the Netherland Regions to the south, and New Capua to its immediate east.


Architecture: The architecture is quite as unique as the race is itself. Much of the buildings are made of either rock or coral... those being the ones underwater. The rock and coral is chiseled away and hollowed, creating rooms and inside a relatively sound structure. Some of the buildings above ground are made of wood, and in the same manner as those of New Tempera or even Tamrodiil.


Past History: Vurstaria throughout history was always a rather indifferent nation. Always considered isolationists, the Vurstarians rather kept to themselves then to get involved with foreign politics, and "outsider wars". They still remain so currently, and set themselves as far apart from the other Feudal States as possible.
Since the Great Immigration, the Vurstarians kept away from the other nations, maybe out of the fear as being seen as too different than the humans, elves, or dwarfs. After all, the only other race that was different like them were the Orcs, and they are hunted down and killed for the vermin that they were deemed as. Now, using a tough military presence, the Vurstarians enjoy internal peace, even while the outside world is in chaos.
