Demographics
Aristios is a melting pot with people from all walks of life, but the first settlers migrated from The Kingdom of Yürki and moved to Eldham in search of a better life. Aristios soon started annexing other nations and gaining the population and culture of the nations they annexed and this is why the nation is so diverse today, although they have stopped annexing land, they have still been growing over the years by buying land, which makes the nation extremely diverse.

A good example of one such culture is the Aristii Dwarves. They're located in the Province of Sanctus and live in the mountains.
