Gal-Zabor
From War Thread
Gal-Zabor is a North American country and is one of the major players in the war. They are located where Idaho and Utah used to be. They are south of Elled and The Great Waste, east of Svensylsquatostan, north of Deseret and The Baron Lands and northwest of Istarra. The country is very open to magic users, especially necromancers and yogamancers.

Origin and General History
Originally a guardhouse manned by Kraggi and his two associates, Chuck and Skippy, Gal-Zabor started when Kraggi sheltered a few magic users from a simple band of 'witchhunters'. Taking residence by their new 'protectors' and providing them with the basics of food, water, and maintenence (and entertainment, if you get my meaning), they were welcomed to live with the three. Soon after, the magic users left, only to return with many more that needed the same protection Kraggi offered to the group before, which Kraggi agreed to provide. Soon after, a small village was born, and the guardhouse of Gal-Zabor become the village of Gal-Zabor, which after many more refugees came, became the city of Gal-Zabor. Soon the small guardhouse became a grand temple and Kraggi became the first citizen of Gal-Zabor. Even magic users and thier families saw the safety of this countryless city, moving into area surrounding and setting up farms and smaller towns. All the while, Kraggi promoted the use of magic, espeically yogamancy, the magic of Sanje, and also advertizing Sanje for worship. With it's own towns, people, and government, Gal-Zabor became a nation, one which provided protection to those who wish to use magic freely without prejudice or persecution.
Economy
Due to a labor force of thousands of unyielding, unsleeping, skilled zombie workers, Gal-Zabor rarely has to import anything to it's country, never having to rely on technology when they can easily keep pace using sheer undying manpower. Since most of the population is undead, Gal-Zabor does not need much in the form of sustanance. Due to a overpowering work force which is easy to maintain, the majority of the population is well off, and freely spends it's cash and time to craft and design high quality items to each other at very low prices, resulting in a consistant upward spiral for the economy.

Culture
Gal-Zaborians are, at some point down their family tree, refugees (Except for Kraggi's bloodline, technically). This is an important factor in the mixture of miss-matched sub-societies in Gal-Zabor, which pepper the cities. In general, the Gal-Zabor culture is considerably lax between the living classes, as devisions between poor and rich are difficult to see, due to the level of technology, and the gypsy-like vibe most of the citizens carry with them. The undead, however, have a much more structured ruling, mostly due to how dulling an ever-extending life beyond death can be.
Contrary to popular belief, not all Gal-Zaborians believe in Sanje as a god. Sanje's teachings, along with yogamancy, is not taught as compulsory in Gal-Zabor's education systems, though it is readily available. This freedom, along with the well executed education system, is one of the main reasons Kraggi's reign remained unchallenged.
