Chapter 250 The Country Of Felmundia
What Fein saw next is the country of Felmundia, also the third strongest country in the Xeno Great Alliance. The country of Felmundia was two hundred miles away from San Fernando country.
The country's historical cities, world-renowned cuisine, and geographic beauty make it a popular destination for more than fifty million tourists each year. The nation is home to Mount Remédios, The South's tallest and most active volcano, and has small two countries within its borders–the Filifin and Gagua countries.
Felmundia has a rich history because it started with the Goliaths, an ancient civilization that was eventually annexed by another ancient civilization in the 3013 calendar year. Unfortunately, most of their heritage was lost in the passing of time.
They are also known as the trendsetters in fashion in the entire south because most of the populace was fond of beautiful clothes, and a lot of popular fashion designers from the continents actually emerged from the Country of Felmundia...
In the present moment, the 17012 calendar year, Felmundia is a republic with more than 60 million people, it has a higher ratio of females. Its capital, Laguna, is its largest city. About 80 percent of Felmundia's population is Druids, a group of people or religion that loves nature and trees. That's why Felmundia has an oak tree as their national symbol. But about 20 percent of people claim to be atheists—despite living in.
The religion of Druids became strong because they lived in the mountain and nature had become part of their life in several large forests on Mount Remedios. Fein was shocked as he read further because it surprised him that most of the beast tamers in the South also came from the country of Felmundia!
"Well, because druids also love animals?" Fein reasoned.
It really opened his eyes and perspective this time. As even in Earth, Druids are popular. He just found it hard to believe that they have the same name here. Fein sighed a little, then he continued to flip the book, and the content was still about the country of Felmundia. Fein began to read again with great concentration.
In some ways, Felmundia's economy is the second largest in the Xeno Great Alliance, While San Fernando country's economy is first and Hosu is second. Felmundia essentially possesses two economies: a higher growth economy in the developed Laguna and a more sluggish one in the less-developed Golgi, a small city near its border. Felmundia's main exports are machinery and transport equipment, chemicals, apparel, and wine.
Yeah, apparel, because like what the books said, they are known as the country of fashion! Fein was reminded of his province in his past life because the people there also likes to dress well even if their pocket is empty! As long as they look good, they are satisfied! Even without money... It's all for the sake of appearance.
While Felmundia may make an ideal tourist destination, life in the country is more complex. Organized crime and corruption persistently plagued Felmundia. Slowing economic growth and high youth and female unemployment remain large concerns.
Druids there are also fanatics. Although nature is preserved, any outsiders that dared to cause trouble in the environment would face heavy sanctions. Even the President of Felmundia is a part of Druidism himself. In fact, he was a popular S-rank degu user with powers that reflect his belief. He could manipulate most plants and trees, transform into any beast he records, and communicate with animals!
This culture is also the reason why Felmundia has become a powerhouse in Agriculture and Natural Medicine. They invent all kinds of potions and things helpful for the environment and health.
'This country is awesome!' This is his current thought at the moment. Fein finished reading all things about Felmundia, which also gave him a new understanding of the Continent as a whole.
"There's a lot of things left to learn about this world..." He sighed for a moment.
Next is Vidayas country. The second weakest of the five major countries. They barely fulfilled the conditions of a great country having exactly five degu energy users. But that's in its combat effectiveness or military might, but it excels in other countries, which is why it was one of the Major countries.
The Vidayas is a highly developed nation that exerts considerable international economic, political, scientific, and cultural influence. Located five hundred miles from San Fernando and three hundred miles away from Felmundia, the country includes the island of Great Seres–which contains Milluk, Gollum, and Red Island–and the northern portion of the island of Tiretand.
The nation's global influence has its roots in the Seres Empire, which was formed during the 15041 calendar year and peaked in the 16000 calendar year before embarking on fighting against other countries following Second Great War.
Fein knew that the Second Great War is like World War II on Earth but the scope is only the Germundia Continent.
The Vidayas of today came from the formation of the Ancient Kingdom of Seres, and later, the establishment of a constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy in the 1621 calendar year. It divided the national government between the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. The prime minister is the head of government and appoints members of the cabinet.
But what really made Vidayas country is their rich source of minerals, and there's a lot of iron ore in the country that made them one of the biggest sources of iron! The Hosu country had close ties with the Vidayas due to this, even in the past. And they had great trade relations. Even now, The Hosu country's treatment when it comes to Vidayas is like that of a brother.
The capital city, Nolton, is a major international financial center and one of the most visited cities on the continent. Much of the nation's economic growth comes from the banking, mineral, and tourism industries. The industrial revolution began in the U.K. and manufacturing.
It amazed Fein to know that The Vidayas has a long history of major contributions to the arts and sciences. Morrison Ash is regarded as one of the greatest writers and scientists in the history of English literature.
