Kingdom of Zimbtua

The Kingdom of Zimbtua, sometimes called the Great Zimbtua, is a landlocked nation in southern Syltör.

The permanent population of the kingdom is only one, but many travelers passing by are granted temporary citizenship. The kingdom was founded after Phosphor's failure to establish the Asodian Empire. He managed to make it to Syltör, and upon arriving, a strange rock formation was found. The rock formation would go on to become one of the many Totems of Glowism.

The kingdom's capital, Mazomba (literally meaning Great One), is centered around a stone castle. The castle, while officially called the Castle of Zimbtua, is often called the Great Enclosure. While the nation is a UPCM (unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy), said constitution has not yet been written. In fact, Phosphor has not written a constitution for any of the nations he has ruled.

The flag shows the Bird of Zimbabwe on a plain white background. This is the only nation of Phosphor's so far to not have magenta on the flag. The white represents peace, while the bird is the nation's symbol.

The nation is extremely self-reliant because it has to be. Trade is uncommon in the surrounding areas since there are no big ports nearby. The Kingdom of Zimbtua is landlocked, so any access to water is limited. There are small ponds and lakes fully in the nation's borders but these cannot be turned into rivers without going through another nation's borders. Although the kingdom is self-sufficient, that doesn't mean that it can be self-sufficient well. Food shortages are not uncommon as crop harvests take longer than usual due to the drier soil, and livestock cannot be kept as easily for this reason, too. Phosphor has thought of using aggressive expansion to make it to the sea and build a port there, perhaps even giving Syltör's trading value a boost as well, but these ideas were brushed off as silly at best. To make it to the sea Phosphor would have to declare war on anther nation. Getting to war with a surrounding nation would be easy. Winning it would be impossible unless it also had a population of just one. Another idea has been to ask neighbouring nations for river access via concessions, but Phosphor has yet to act on the idea.
