Whisperia

Capital Other cities Languages Brief Nation Info Whisperia (Historically: Vesperia), officially the Federation of Whisperia is an island nation located in the Aquaterra Sea of Serrona. Its capital city is Silver Sanctuary, located west of the Vulperium, in the Aquaterra Sea. Whisperia shares no land borders with any other nation due to it being an island federation. It is the largest island federation in Eldham. Whisperia is a nation dedicated to peace and prosperity, starting wars is prohibited by its constitution.

History
In the past, the nation of Vesperia was a strong nation with many active members and a prosperous economy. This came to an abrupt end when Zac, the leader, spontaneously went inactive. This led to a downfall of Vesperia and the birth of Whisperia from a group of motivated councillors, ministers, and citizens. They abandoned SeaTopia, Vesperia's capital, and set off for their new safe land, Silver Sanctuary, which now serves as the base of operations for Whisperia. This piece of Whisperian history defines and influences every aspect of Whisperian life.

Government
Whisperia is currently governed as a constitutional democratic republic federation of island nations, ruled by a council and ministry system, which is highly democratic. The Whisperian constitution defines and limits the powers and responsibilities of the government. Whisperia's constitution forbids warmongering, corruption, and laws which may impede freedoms of the citizens.

Etymology
The name Whisperia is derived from the name of the former nation the founders fled from, Vesperia.

Silver Sanctuary
The capital city of Silver Sanctuary is located in the southwest of Whisperia, just south of the former capital city of Vesperia, SeaTopia. Silver Sanctuary is a large developed stone platform with defenses and strong infrastructure. The government of Whisperia, including the council of towns, the national legislature, the Whisperian Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Whisperian Ministry of Infrastructure, the Whisperian Ministry of International Affairs, the Whisperian Ministry of Planning and design, and the Whisperian Ministry of Defense are all headquartered in Silver Sanctuary.

Silver Sanctuary is always under construction to extend the size of the landmass, to allow for more construction, infrastructure, civilian housing, storage, and effective operations.

Selvation
Selvation is a landmass under construction that is to be used as a port city, getaway, vacation destination, trading town, and a few other important services, such as emergency backup government. Selvation is constructed similarly to Silver Sanctuary but with much stronger and more fortified defenses, including massive walls on all sides to repel invaders. The fortress is said to be nearly impenetrable, and it is considered just as well defended as Silver Sanctuary itself. It has one single port of entry which is monitored by citizens.

Whisperia's Rig
Whisperia's Rig is a defensive platform located in between the capital of Whisperia Silver Sanctuary and the former capital of Vesperia, to ensure that no invasion or takeover of Whisperia is possible or practical. The lack of war capability as dictated by the constitution has led Whisperia to invest strongly in countermeasures and defenses, allowing the country to be resilient to all attack.

Government and Politics
Whisperia is led by a democratically elected national council and number of ministries. Each town under the Whisperian federation also has their own democratic republic government, as mandated by the constitution. The power structure in Whisperia is highly democratic in order to best serve the needs and wishes of the people.

Culture
Whisperian culture is modeled after the culture of Vesperia, naturally, but has its own more rebellious and defensive twists to show how the nation and its people have been forced to change by the circumstances in order to stay independent.

The capital of Whisperia, Silver Sanctuary, is the location which has for the most part determined the overall culture of Whisperia.

Food
Whisperian cuisine is largely vegetarian, due to the rural island location and lack of availability to animals or animal farming. The cuisine is largely dictated by the available crops to an island nation, largely potatoes due to their high caloric content and efficient farming practices. Carrots and apples are also staples of the Whisperian diet.

Art
Due to Whisperia's constitution's extreme emphasis on freedom of expression (it is the first and most demanding article of the entire 8 article constitution), art is very free in Whisperia and this encourages a great deal of exploratory artwork.

Literature
Writing is a common pastime in Whisperia, due to the isolation of being an island nation. The Whisperian constitution is the most widely distributed book in Whisperia.

Architecture
Whisperia's architecture is determined entirely by the lack of available resources out at sea, leading to a predominance of wood and stone being used.
