(IC, still Volopia)
The story of our nation is the only answer to this questan, so i'll start at the relievent point. In the early industrial era, aside from the peninsula in which we mainly rule from the land was made of pointy stick wielding barbaric tribes, and the invention of the gun lead to a great chain of colonization. However, before we could blow their brains out we had to find other means to protect our Victorian-steampunk society. The Wall of Progress was erected as the barrier between modern (at that time) and barbaric society. Between the split, as you may see, stands the mighty all military city of Bellru.
As we ventured forth from our home, with some of the first invented guns, we found a mighty and somewhat scary thing. The Ghastly Wasteland. Believed to be created be angry ghast spirits by barbarians, this was more then a desert. Although deserts have sand, the Wasteland is so sparse if life and so dry not even sand makes dunes here. Just miles and miles on end of hard sandstone. Naturally no one else wanted to own it, so Volopia moved in. As of now much of it remains uncharted and there is no hope of survival there. Only one water mass has ever been found that was large enough to support large populations, Lake Tribilion.
Upon this strange lake, a mighty civilization arose. Two city's rose in Tribilion, Yongdoo and Oodgnoy, exact oppisitea in every aspect and always at war. Once, according to their lore, a great being came forth from upon the sky's and made cease fire between them for 100 years. During which they erected a mighty sandstone , the Great Tribilion Wall, between them that stands today. No one of either side was allowed to walk the top of the wall, for if one did both sides would open fire and attack the other. To this day, both keep militia soldiers on either side.
