Physical Attributes

Tall buildings and a healthy mesh of old architecture with 'modern' styles. The main city is mostly made of tall column concrete buildings and newer buildings are built similarly in an attempt to make it more uniform, but incorporates huge windows and a lot more minimalistic. Smaller cities have smaller buildings and has a more homey feel to them instead of a commercial hub.

They try to keep their city streets and public spaces clean, but the main areas are quite littered and managed poorly due to the traffic of people. Isolated alleys and streets are quite clean in comparison, and the smaller cities are managed really well.

Geographically, it is just one chunk of land with one side hitting the sea, trade via water is possible. Natural resources consists of cotton, livestock such as sheep and cows, ores such as gold and copper, and coal.

Think: London and New York combined to make one huge nation. Huge business and entertainment nation, it's almost like Hollywood with actual magic.

People

The nation is really into culture, music, entertainment, and the arts. Most of their businesses are galleries, fashion malls (like they have malls for clothing/costume materials), theaters, studios, and media in general. The main city houses most of the radio stations, multiple cultural museums, and other entertainment sources commissioned by the main media companies.

The people are generally lax about people from other nations coming and going, especially since their country has been a huge tourist land for years now. There are small groups that feel threatened about this, and there is a good reason because it's almost as if the tourists have more privilages than the citizens. If crime happened, the government is quick to just compensate them with the monetary equivalent how much they lost instead of actual justice. Not to mention that the money comes from the taxes of people, and instead of improving the cities, they end up just paying for the tourist damage. The treatment between them is different as well, crime isn't easily tolerated by the governing body if the person is a citizen.

Huge range of diversity, and you can get imprisoned and publicly shamed if you say anything against someone based on their race, kind, and/or specie. It's almost like the worst thing you could do next to murder, because they celebrate difference and are really into learning about other cultures beyond theirs, though it's been a huge effort to preserve their own culture and their own history.

General words used to apply to the people living in the nation: Hospitable, open-minded, charismatic, romantic, easy-going, kind, warm, skilled, tolerant, accepting, easy to fool, naive, superficial, two-faced, push-overs.

General words used to apply their general interests: Arts, entertainment, media, media technology, fashion, music, culture, magic, creativity, coffee and biscuits.

Government

The government is really strict in regulating the safety of each individual in the nation, or so they say. The government is strict with the citizens of this nation, and quite lax to the tourists due to international trade routes. Most of the nation's income and business comes from foreign investments in entertainment and fashion, without these the country would lose quite a lot of profit. They also import quite a lot of materials, and so foreign ties are a top priority. This, in turn, angers quite a lot of citizens as the laws seem to be unfairly biased to them.

Technology

With being a huge media and entertainment nation, they focus on improving their visual and audio technologies.
