Nere is a medium-sized nation surrounded by mountains on all sides except for its eastern shore (which borders the sea). These mountains separate it from Pallon to the north and from Dakzan to the south, providing much-needed protection to the second most-hated country in the East.

System of Government
Nere is a benevolent necrocracy, founded by the archlich Neru four hundred and sixty eight years ago. The country has two classes, the lower class comprising the majority of the population. Lower class citizens have all the same rights as upper class citizens, but they have one additional responsibility: they are obligated to serve the government for four days out of every month, providing nourishment to the upper class. Any lower class citizen may join the upper class posthumously if they can demonstrate continued capacity to reason after their death. Decisions regarding nationwide law are made by the Council of Seven, with five consenting votes required for a major change to take effect. Due to the ability of individuals to amass power over several centuries, the most powerful organizations in Nere are the families of citizens who were alive (or undead) at the nation's founding.
